The Plague and the Tan Pits.

Bermondsey's association with the
tanning industry was originally due
partly to it's fine oak woods and partly
to the fact that the London slaughter
houses were to large extent situated
in Southwark. on the questionable
side of the river. For brief period,
however, it enjoyed certain fame as
health resort. That was, as Sir Hen
~ Trueman Wood reminds us in 'In-
dustrial England In the Eighteenth
Century," when terror stricken crea-
lures fled from the ravages of the great
plague in the city of London to the
Bermondsey tan pits to find strong me-
dicinal virtues in the nauseous smell"

A very important item in getting
good matches Is to thoroughly test out
the infertile eggs. Excellent egg test
ers. with instructions as to use, are
furnished with most incubators. These
testers can be placed on an ordinary
lamp, and the eggs are best tested at
night when the room is dark. con-
slider the sixth day Of incubation the
best time for the frat testing. says a
writer In an exchange. A good, strong
germ has the appearance of spider

the shell denotes dead germ; per-

SUMMER FEED FOR POULTRY
Chickens May Be Turned Into Garden
, With Profit Except at Certain
Periods-Eat Many Bugs.

Lettuce is good feed for poultry,
and bed of 1t should be started early
for the purpose of giving the fowls a
supply of green stuff. The fowls like
it best If they can pull it from the
stem as 1t stands In the bed. Cutting
up the lettuce and feeding it in the
yard is wasteful, as the fowls eat lit
tie of it when fed in that way.
Rape is a good plant to grow for
the fowls. The seeds are quite large
and SO terminate easily. If the fowls
have stripped one part of the poultry
yard OF grass, that part can be fenced
of and rape seed sown on it. The
rape will grow rapidly. even If the
soil is not dug up The fowls should
be turned into it when it has reached
height Of about one foot. They
will strip the sides off the leaf and
leave the stems and mid-veins. AS
soon as the poultry are taken out OF
the yard for time, the plants will
begin to push out new growth from
the stems and mid-veins, and this
process can be continued all summer.
There is a saying that hens and
gardens do not go well together. This
is mistake; the hens can be turned
into the garden with profit to them.
selves and the garden except during
certain periods. One of these is just
after the seeds have been planted and
are coming up. At such time the
hens will do much damage by scratch
ing. Another time when they must
be excluded from the garden is when
the tomatoes are ripe, as they will
pick them. After the plants in the
spring have become thoroughly start
ed. the hens can safely be turned in.
The more they scratch the better It
Is for the plants. They also help to
keep the plants free from bugs.
The farmer cannot afford to keep
his poultry shut up in summer. ex-
cept during short periods. as men
toned above. The great advantage
the farmer has over the city and vii
lage poultry raiser is that he can
make his poultry work for him. The
bug population of every farm is very
great. and this population is drawn
upon by the fowls.

TO BUILD FATTENING CRATE
Usually Divided Into Three compart-
ments, Each Holding From
Four to Six Birds.

Fattening crates are usually made
six feet long, Is to 20 inches high and
IS inches wide. The crate is divided
into three compartments. each holding
from four to six birds, according to
the size of the chicken. The crate
is made Of stats usually one and a
half inches wide by five-eighths inch
thick. Those in front are placed two
inches apart to allow the birds to put
their heads througa for feeding. The
Stats on the bottom are placed three
fourths of an inch apart allowing
the dropping to go through. Care
should be taken not to have the first
bottom slat at the back fit too closely
against the back, or the droppings
will collect and decompose. The
Stats on the bottom should be one inch
by one-half inch. and run lengthwise
of the crate. The Stats on the back
and top are usually two inches apart.
A frame is made of one and one-half
inch by one inch.
Very fair coops may be made from
old packing boxes by taking of the
front and bottom and substituting stats
in their places. During warm weather
these crates may be placed out OF
doors

The Worth Of the Voice.

How wonderful is the human voice!
It is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect Of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet
of old in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning bush. The
soul of man is audible, not visible.
A sound alone betrays the flowing of
