All Is Good

l know as my life grows older,
And mine eyes have clearer sight
That under each rank wrong, somewhere
There lies the root of Right;
That each sorrow has its purpose,
By the sorrowing oft unguessed,
But as sure as the sun brings morning.
Whatever isis best.
know that each sinful action,
AS sure as the night brings shade,
Is somewhere, sometime punished,
Tho the hour be long delayed
know that the soul is aided
Sometimes by the hearts unrest,
And to grow means often 60 suffer-
But whatever isis best.
know there are no errors
In the great Eternal plan,
And all things work together
For the final good of man.
And know when my soul speeds onward,
In this grand Eternal quest,
shall say as | look back earthward,
Whatever isis best.

POULTRY NOTES.

Poultry and dairy farming go we'll
together.
Cold is the greatest factor in the
keeping of eggs.
Not more than twenty-five birds
should be kept in one flock.
One of the conditions of the poul-
tryman is to find the difference be-
tween hens.
And after a chicken is about half
grown it is surprising what a lot
they can eat.
The poultrymen who know what
each hen is doing usually takes bet
ter care of each hen.
Bacteria can be kept away from
eggs to some extent by frequently re-
newing the nest material.
1t is a pleasure to raise healthy
birds and they are not delicate crea-
lures if properly cared for.
If you want your boy to become in
terested in live stock farming give
him start in keeping poultry.
The best ration for laying hens, &C
cording to experiments, is about one
to four, Or one part protein to four
parts of carbOnaceOus foods.
There is perhaps nothing marketed
as poorly as poultry. If alive, they
are shipped in little crowded coops as
thick as they can be squeezed in. If
dressed-well from what can be OBJ
served on market days, ones appetite
for chicken could not be enhanced.
There is no reason why dressed fowls
cannot be put on the market in more
inviting condition.
A good method for fattening fowls
is given by a reader. Shut the fowls
up in a dark place with just enough
light for them to see to eat, and sup
ply them we'll with grit and water.
Cornmeal, ground oats, cracked
wheat and shorts mixed in equal por-

tons should be fed Feed them as
often during the day as they will
clean up the food, and bear in mind
the Importance Of "stuff1ng'' them.
Half a dozen fowls together will
fatten more rapidly than a large
number, and if it is practical to pen
them off six to a pen is the right
number. Give no green stuff to these
fowls, but rations of cooked potatoes,
rice, cornbread and a whole wheat
may be given. Fowls crowded this
way should be in fine condition in
three weeks.
Whitewash cannot be used too fire.
quently in the henhouse. Lime is a
great germicide and when disease
germs and poultry lice are covered
with several layers of whitewash
their power for evil will be ended.
Whitewash has the power of MAX
ing smooth unsightly places, and a
rough board holds more of it than a

adapted for cover crops and for in
creasing soil fertility.
Much will be gained in providing
suitable quarters for the fowls, and
in giving them careful attention. Even
when only few fowls are kept, it
pays to provide clean, sanitary and
comfortable houses.
The weather has been so warm
thus far during the winter that the
egg supply should be abundant But
as matter Of fact prices are holding
up remarkably we'll
The plans should not be completed
for crops designed for the fowls. See
to it that plenty of grain and grazing
crops are planted and that there is
green food during the entire season.
The vigilant poultryman will not
neglect his houses and runs these
warm, misty days. A little neglect
is apt to mean trouble Keep the
houses clean and the houses sanitary
if you wish health in your flock
There is always considerable risk
kept to the full capacity of your sur
roundings. 1t is usually better to in
crease rather slowly and leave a good
es against disease.
1t requires close attention to make
fowls profitable, but there is nothing
disagreeable about the work of car
ing for them. Most of us find it very
interesting and healthful, not to say
delightful. 1t is hard to find a reason
for neglecting the fowls.
The balanced ration is highly de-

velopment and rapid growth. For
laying hens the ration should contain
more protein than for fowls fattened
for market. Laying hens also re-
Quire more mineral matter, such as
crushed egg shells, bone meal, etc.,
to form shells.
Every breeder should study the
standard and become familiar with
their breed. This is the only way to
breed up your strain. One can not
discard poor breeding fowls unless
one knows the faults of the birds. 1t
is very important that you know your
own breed if you expect to stay in
the poultry business.
Charcoal is a great absorbent and
should be used freely in the drinking
water A little pulverized charcoal
fed occasionally will greatly assist in
maintaining the health Of the fowls.
The best plan is to have it handy and
when feed is being Mixed put in a
spoonful in the mash. This should
be done once or twice a week.

The aeroplane is a flimsy thing in

brought the list of fatalities in the de-
velopment Of aviation up to thirty five,
thirty Of these being killed during 1910.
-Four were killed in 1909 and one in
1908. The business of flying requires
sreat skill, utter fearlessness and
quick judgment and Of the aviators
who have lost their lives Chavez. John
stone, Moisant and Hoxsey possessed
all these. Their success led them to
attempt difficult and reckless feats
which startled the world and made
them famous. Chavez crossed the
Alps; tombstone at the time OF his
death, held the altitude record: Mois- !
ant made a flight from Paris to Lon
don with a passenger, being the first |
TO accomplish this feat: and Hoxsey |
reached the greatest height ever at

were caused by simple mshaps. Many
other aviators have had narrow es-
capes. Yet marvellous progress has /
been made in conquering the air. and
even greater progress will be made.
