1t pays to raise chickens in the city.
There's no doubt about 1t.
For a long time 1t was the generally
accepted theory that a hen needed about
$50 acres in which to roam and scratch,
and that big barnlike house was need
ed for just a medium sized flock to
roost.
wrong one well tested system gets
excellent results both In eggs and meat
by combining chickens in very close quar-
ters In little back yards of city lots a
flock of hens viii grow and lay and
fatten for the market or your table
just as if they were on the farm.
If the largest plot you can give to
chickens is only eight feet by four
that will do for a half dozen hens and
rooster, and with right care you ought
to get so dozen eggs a year.
Multiply that by more space and more
hens and see how it will cut down
your cost of living. Olso it will make
you free OF the cold storage product,
and what is almost as good to the city
man, the larger the productio nof eggs
and poultry the less the demand for
pork. beef and mutton, and correspond
ingly lower prices for all meats.
Any one who has tried it will tell
you that it's mighty nice to go out to
the nests in your own back yard and
get some fine fresh eggs, eggs that are
eggs.
Maybe the kiddies won't like those
fresh eggsl Maybe they won't take
to those chickensl And maybe the wife
won't enjoy the baby chicks and the
fluffy grown up brood!
In succeeding articles study of the
chicken raising business win be made
from the standpoint of the individual
who wants to raise them in the limited
space most city people have.
Now, before you decide upon any plan
or anything in connection with chicken
raising, let this sink deep into your era
MUM: Don't have scrub chickens around
the place. Get good chickens good
breeds. OF course, that will cost a lit
tie more to begin with, but they win
pay and pay you well, while with the
scrubs you will make failure nine times
out of ten.
There are many good breeds of chick
ems. Many poultry fanciers like the Leg
horn best and both white and brown
Leghorns have their advocates They say
that the Leghorn is the best layer and
that being small they require less room,
less food and produce more eggs in
year than any other breed. But there
isn't much flesh on the Leghorn and
as many people like a chicken dinner
once in while, a larger fowl is bet
ter.
For meat alone the Brahmas are good.
For good, all-round layers and meat pro-
ducers, Orpingtons, Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes and Rhode Island Reds each
have their admirers. Personally, I like
the Orpington best It's big chicken,

Georgia until every Georgian accepts his
views before he goes to other states to
proclaim his political doctrine On the
contrary by spoken word and printed
page he will seek to bring the whole
nation to his way of thinking. In this
he acts as every christian should act
who really believes that christianity is
the only true religion which all mankind
should accept. The men and women. who
profess to accept Christianity, but who
would confne it to any one land, in
their heart of hearts do not believe IT,
They would have Christ to be a provin-
cial deity of a fraction of a world,
whereas he demands for Himself domin-
ion over all the earth. To offer him a
provincial kingdom, instead of universal
knightship is to dishonor and insult
him. 1t is to put, as did his crucifers,
hooking reed in his hand for scepter,
and a crown of thorns upon his head. In
the end the people who seek to restrict
his sovereignty to their own land, reduce
him to the level % mere household
deity for the sole use and benefit Of
their own family and in their souls offer
to him daily that prayer of infinite and
Infamous selfishness which he prayed

foreign missions do nothing for the
work in the home land about which
they pirate so much. They care moth
ing for Christ's kingdom at home or
abroad They do not believe that Chris
tianity is a system of truth which is
indispensable to mankind They are not
concerned for the welfare of humanity
nor jealous for the honor of God. In oe-
string to withhold from the world the
knowledge of Christianity, they proclaim
their own religion to be quack nostrum
compounded by a secret formula.
If Christianity is true 1T must be
preached to all men. If il is no more
true than Buddhism or Confucianism or
Mohammedanism it is not worthy of be-
ing sustained in any land-our own land
or any other land. 1t should. If it is
false, be abandoned.
The real and ultimate issue in the
matter of missions is whether Christian
ity is true or false. Let all parties
face the issue fairly and squarely.
If Christianity is the final and full
truth about God and deity and destiny,
it is such a truth as constrains us to
give it to all men. If it is not true,
let us have done with the empty delu-
sion. The time has come for all men to

HOW TO RAISE CHICKENS=-THE CACKLE CLASS
Lesson IA Start In Hen Business

raiser will preach that to you day and
night. And there's a reason. You must
get practical experience, must have your
failures and successes before you can
think of making money on a large chick
en- farm.
One other thing to remember is when
you start with a particular breed stick
to that breed. If they don't come up to
snuff as layers, change the strain, but
keep to the breed of which you have al
ready learned something. More will be
said about layers In later articles.
Before you get the chickens get the
house for them to live in. The size of
that depends altogether upon the size of
the flock you will want to keep. and upon
the space at your disposal.
The main things to be remembered IN
building chicken houses are these: They
must be dry, well ventilated, both winter
and summer, and room enough for each
fowl; roots need not be more than Is
inches from the floor; plenty of light is
also NECESSARY.
Every effort must be made to prevent
drafts, therefore place the roots near the
back of the house. and except on real
cold nights burlap coverings for doors
and windows are enough. Fresh air can
get through while drafts cannot.
The house need not be expensive. A
boy handy with hammer and saw ought
to be able to put up good one. Rough
wire netting can be used to enclose. a rum
way where the chickens can have their
needed exercise
Now having built the house and decided
upon the breed, the next thing is to be-
gin. This you can do with eggs, young
chicks, or with hens.
If you decided to buy young chicks the
problem Of incubation is removed, but
if you intend to keep that chicken house
in active operation for years you will find
1t to your interest to learn how to hatch
your own chicks.

matings, and how to get the best layers.

keep them in protected place till set

young plants are not affected by the

The ball of earth from the pot COM

that there is no drying out nor any
check in growth. Transplanting from
small flower pots may be done at any
time of the day, clear or cloudy weather
The pots are good for q lifetime or till

be used for starting and transplanting
young plants The best OF these is q

Tin cans with the ends melted off and
the seams unsoldered make fairly good

the plant Is growing and removed at

The shortage in the French rotate
crop has created deficit which is being
filled by large importations from other
European countries, notably Great Brit
ain, Austria, Germany and Belgium.
Importadons of potatoes from the
United States TO France had been pro-
hibited since the decree OF 1876. which
was inspired by fear of the Colorado
potato bug, until that decree wais an
nulIed on October Is, 1910, opening the
French markets to potatoes from the
United States. provided they are clean,
free from the soil in which they were
grown, and the packages in which they
are shipped contain no stems or leaves
of the potato plant
AS result of this long prohibition
American potatoes are practically un-
known in France, and French impor-
tiers have no acquaintance or establish
ed relations with American exporters
which would enable the trade to be
promptly taken up since the withdrawal
Of the prohibitory decree. Partly for
this reason, and partly because many
French people have still q lingering
dread of some possible disease in .Ameri-
can potatoes and do not even know that
the prohibition against them has been
withdrawn, they have not yet appeared in
any appreciable quantity on the Paris
market-consul General F. H. Mason.
