huIky Food For FowIs.

Fowls need bulky foods, for not only
are they needed for the special forms
OF nutriment they contain, but to dis
tend the crop and enable the fowls bet
ter to obtain the nutriment from more
condensed foods. Such foods as finely
cut glass, clover, and alfalfa have a
value greater than their analysis would
indicate. Fed upon such foods in cou-
nection with condensed articles of diet.
fowls seldom contract the bad habit o.
feather eating. This habit seems to he
due to two causes: Lack of animal
matter and lack of bulky food. Given
these two elements and feather pulling
would hardly be known. unless 1t was
introduced into the flock through some
vicious individual which first con-
tracted it through lack OF these forms
of food. Such foods viii frequently put

Value Of Wood Ashes.


A correspondent wants to know If he
can use to advantage a large pile of
ashes, which is near him, to apply OF
his land.
Wood ashes vary much in their COM
position. according to the variety Of
wood burned and the amount of leach
ing that has taken place. Unleached
ashes contain from 16 to 40 per cent
potash. Large quantities of lime and a
small amount of phosphoric acid are
also found in unleached wood ashes.
The average composition OF ashes as
found, where they have been more or
less exposed to the rain and other ma
terials become mixed with them, is
about 4 to per cent OF potash, 2 per
cent Of phosphoric acid and 30 per cent
OF lime. Leached ashes contain 1 to
IL per cent of potash and phosphorus
acid each, and % to 80 per cent Of
| lime.
If potash is needed, there is probably
no better form than in wood ashes.
The phosphoric acid and lime will also
be of some value.
With haul of less than a mile and
fresh ashes being added to the supply
each day, they can be used to ad-
vantage on any soil not abundantly
supplied with lime and potash.
We would apply the ashes broadcast
and harrow in a week or two before
planting the crop. They may be ap-
piled in any quantity from SEQ pounds
to a ton to the acre. II land is def
cert in potash, and the ashes are ap-
piled to supply that plant food, 500
pounds to the acre will do very well
but If put on some land. where they

LOVE MAKING AND THE
CHURCH 0H

Rev. John NJ. Thompson. Chicago

when it comes to unique methods of
getting a crowd and making friends.
He has declared that the best place
in the world for young people to do
their courting is the church. in fact,
he says ne is accused of running
matrimonial agency.
Down in Texas some of the preach
ers have 'he idea that the best place

son has them beaten to fragile in

he declares that "the best place in

The esteemed Pittsburg, Pa, Ca
zette which is evidently au fait as to
the science and art of lovemaking,
dissents, because as it says AZ couple
engaged in the pastime of counting
would object to the presence of the
congregation and would want the
church all to themselves, and there
couldn't possibly be built enough
churches to meet the demand, and
concludes that therefore it is likely
the church will have to be utilized
merely for purposes of divine wor-
ship" and ads, ito some ministers
this may seem a novel idea"

SAD PLIGHT OF CHINA

The reports that come from China
regarding the terrible loss of life
from famine and plague are almost
beyond the comprehension of the
peoples of other countries. Victims
o. the plague are dying by hundreds
daily and the proverbial distrust and
hostility of the Chinese towards for
eigners renders all attempts to re-
lieve the situation almost hopeless. 1t
is probable that half the conditions
of appalling horrors have not been
told, yet it is stated that the masses
are living on roots and grasses, and
that the ravages of the plague are
almost entirely unchecked. Medical
authorities declare that such an epi-
demic of disease has not visited the
world since the dark centuries of the
disease is SO new and strange that
IL battles the experience of the pres
ent generation. 1t is estimated that
the known deaths have reached
10000, and yet the reports are cor.
fined to the settlements along the
railroads and other accessible points.
The horrors of the secenes enacted
il the interior provinces, where com.
ntunication is limited and conditions
are little known, must be beyond de-
scription. Such an epidemic would
necessarily work awful havoc even
among intelligent people equipped
with the appliances for combating the
disease; it's ravages among an ignor-
ant and superstitious people like the
Chinese cannot be realized and must
be left to the imagination. Neverthe-
less, from what is known it is said
that at least 100000 persons must
die before the first crop is harvested,
and that this crop will be scanty be-
cause the people have neither the
strength to till the soil nor the ant
mails for plowing.
Thus one evil helps to aggravate
the other and the whole constitutes
a situation which calls for the most
energetic methods of relief by the
charitable and philanthropic organi-
cations of the civilized world. The
United States ought to be among the
first in this work of relief and pre-
vention of further spread either of
the famine or the plague. The send
ing of relief ships is too slow a pro-
cess to meet the requirements of the
situation. Large sums of money
could be forwarded promptly to Of
fetal representative of the humane
powers to relieve at once the wants

the plague and who possess the con-
fidence of their countrymen, should
