Historic Event Celebrated.

Australia recently commemorated
the one hundred and forty-first ami
versary of Captain Cooks first land
ing. 1t was in 1910 that H. NJ. S. En-
deavor, barque of $40 tons. entered
the inlet first called Sting Rays Har
Dor, but afterwards Botany Bay, from
the beauty and variety Of the plants
growing about its shore. The vessel
remained eight days, and before she
left the British flag was hoisted. AS
Is the custom on each recurring ami
versary, the flag was again unfurled
upon the spot where 1t was first dis
played. and was saluted by the guns
of the warships in the harbor.

HENS NEED MUCH EXERCISE
Quick Move. Brightest Comb
and Best Egg Record.

The question of exercise Is one that
the poultrymen cannot study too care
fully. To keep in good health and
profit, all animal kind must take the
proper amount of exercise, or they
will become sluggish and diseased. 1t
Is not very difficult matter to get
the hens down to work and II this
duty is involved upon them In early
life they will not forget their early
training" and will know that in order
to have everything TO eat they must
work for 1t.
Exercise prevents overfat in fowls.
Overfat Is a diseased condition the
penalty sooner or later being death.
A too-fat hen Is an Indifferent layer
producing eggs Of all shapes and con-
ditions. 1t is, generally, the over-fat
hen that lays soft-shelled eggs. 1t is
the breaking of these eggs in the
nest that leads on to the vice Of egg
eating. One trouble after another
follows this neglect of not having the
hens exercise.
The hen that scratches Is the one
that has the quick move, the bright
est comb, the happy air, and the best
egg record. She is business clean
through. The idle hen should not be
tolerated.
Early morning exercise is of untold
value. especially during cold weather.
If the fowl can get off the roost and
at once get down to scratching, 1t
will not only put itself into condition
for the day, but 1t will greedily pick
up its feed and properly digest it.
Contagious diseases do not, as rule,
dnd victims in busy fowls-ik is in
variably the idler that takes to every
thing that comes around One of the
greatest reasons why the hens of
today are better layers than they
were in our forefathers' days is the
fact that our present day poultrymen
have discovered that the fowls must
BIO induced to exercise, and 1t is 8
rule to compel them to do SO.

II you want your poultry fed right
do it yourself.
If, a hen is very sick, 1t scarcely
pays to doctor her.
Take care to keep plenty Of clean
water before the chicks.
With eggs SO high the hen seems to
'eel that she needn't lay many.
The country is full OF people who
have not made success of poultry.
Clean out nest boxes often at this
time of the year and refill with clean
straw.
The best feed is none too good for
the little chicks. Spoiled food causes
Indigestion.
An open scratching shed is within
the possibilities of even the most mod
est poultryman.
If you are setting hens do not neg.
lect to dust them thoroughly with
good insect powder
Poultry raising Is an industry toe
often beset with trials which end in
disappointment and failure.
The failure of many poultry enter
prises can be traced to a loss of con
stitutional vlgor in the stock.
Get the chicks into good habits;
start them off with a variety of food
to accustom them to eat anything.
A cheap rough house may serve as
well as a costly one, provided the
hygienic conditions are equally good.
You can get green food for chickens
without much trouble. Lettuce makes
an excellent feed and grows rap
idly.
Ducks must have shade. If the duck
run is bare, plant castor beans. sun
flowers or hop vines to be trained over
frames.
! One of the very essential things in
raising poultry is to keep the young
birds. as well as the old stock, free
from lice.
Do not disturb eggs after the eigh-
teenth day, or open incubator when
the hatch is coming OF, as 1t lets the
moisture out.

How wonderful is the human voicel
1t 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
the eternal fountain, invisible to man.

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct. 13, 1908. and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be a wa
ter blister would form. When 1t
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass OF
scabs and you could not see a par
ticle of clear skin. Other parts Of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent. We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some OF them only added to his
suffering and one in particular, the
- Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told us to
battle the baby in buttermilk. This
did not do any good, so we took him
to hospital. He was treated as an
out-patient twice a week and he got
worse, II anything. We then called
In another doctor and inside of a
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was done. But the very next day it
broke out as bad as ever.
I'VE decided that it could not be
cured and must run its course and so
we Just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left To,onto and shortly
after our arrival In Duluth, the Cuti.
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per.
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease. There has
been no return this time. We still
use only Cuticura Soap for baby

WANTED TO SLEEP
Curious That a Tired Preacher Should
Have Such Desire.

A minister speaks of the curious eff.
feet of Grape-Nuts food on him and
how 1t has relieved him.
You will doubtless understand how
the suffering from indigestion with
which ! used to be troubled made my
work an almost uncomfortable burden;
and why 1t was that after my Sabbath
duties had been performed, sleep was
a stranger to my pillow till nearly
daylight.
Il had to be very careful as to what
! ate, and even with all my care ex-
perienced poignant physical distress
after meals. and my food never salts
fed me.
Since | began the use OF Grape
Nuts the benefits have derived from
IT are very definite, l no longer suffer
from indigestion. and / began to i'm
prove from the time Grape-Nuts APP
peared on our table.
Il find that by eating dish OF this
food after my Sabbath work is done,
(and ] always do so now) my nerves
are quoted and rest and refreshing
sleep are ensured me.
Il feel that | could not possibly do
without Grape-Nuts food, now that
know its value. 1t is invariably on our
table-we feel that we need it to make
the meal complete and our children
will eat Grape-Nuts when they cannot
be persuaded to touch anything else"

Until the other night, when Mr.. and
