No Strangers Allowed.

/ Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmaster
general of the United States, takes the
deepest interest in even the smallest
details of the postal service. One eve
ming he was at the Union station in
Washington. when he decided to go
into one Of the railway mail-service
cars to see how the mail matter was
being handled. Being tall man and
very athletic, he easily swung himself
from the platform into the car, but he
did not find it an easy matter to stay
put. A burly postal clerk grabbed
him by the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practi-
cally elected him to the platform be
low.
What do you mean by that?" ask
ed Hitchcock Indignantly.
ri mean to keep you out of this
car" replied the clerk roughly. THAT
fellow Hitchcock has given us strict
orders to keep all strangers out OF
these cars."-Popular Magazine.

Preaching the Gospel to People
Of The Hill! Country.
Rev. William Greet Tells Of Work He
and His Wife Accomplished
Amongst Tehri and
HiHdi Men.

Another report Of adventure, toll.
and conquest comes from the Tehri
Border Village mission among the
Himalaya mountains, where Rev. Will
liam Greet and his wife are carrying
the gospel message to the people of
'he hill country.
"The past seaCor's touring" writes
Mr.. Greet, "totaled up more than that
Of any previous season, and included
reaching into some new country. One
of my first trips away from our fam
lily camp, after the writing of our last
letter, was to see poor old Prema at
Nauta. There he sat by the little wa
ter-mill, blind and very helpless, try
ing to care for the peoples -four. In
the judgment Of some who have lately
seen him, he seems believer.
I'VE returned to our home in Janu-
airy for few weeks and then went
out again to stay till April. This
time we pushed forward at once to
Devasari, a neishborhood Of many
villages which last season we were
prevented from reeching. We pitched
our camp on the edge Of pine wood
and close to small ravine, on the
other side of which lay long line of
villages. Close by our tent was the
temple to which, on special occasions,
the people gathered from all sides.
my memory goes back many years
to some remarkable results from the
very first visits to simple villagers in
the plains who accepted Christ at once
and stood faithful till death, but gen.
orally where people are laid hold of, it
is after continued presentation Of
the truth. A most encouraging thing
during our touring in the hills this
past springtime was the extent to
which the truth of the Gospel was ad-
mitted by man who has served US
for years, but had always passively re-
sisted all we said. He sat with me at
the close Of a hot journey up a long
gorge to a village, where we found
only one man, lad and a child at
home. We conversed under the shade
of an apricot tree, concerning the Way
Of Life and other ways, and at the
close our man, who has nearly always
boosted Of the superiority of his own
religion, said to the village man, We
shall have to come to It! This religion
will win it's way everywhere and all
will at some time have to yield, will
ingly or unwillingly.'

best. These should be filled two
thirds full of straw, and a wire loop
inserted at the top. They may then
be hung in row, and touching each
other to keep them steady, to nails
driven into the wall behind. In this
way they can be easily lifted off the
nails to be cleaned. l chose kegs for
nests as the hens are unable to eat
their eggs in them and they are about
the right size to accommodate one hen
at time. My henhouse has very
large window right opposite the hen
roost, SO in order to darken the nests
fasten a strip of old linoleum on a
wire so as to hang just in front of
the nests. The wire has loop at one
end which is fastened to a bent nail
or hook driven into the dropping
hoard. When gathering eggs this may

D0NT'S IN POULTRY SHIPPING
Most Profitable to Use Clean, Fresh;
Boxes With Care and Neatness
In Packing Fowls.

There are number of "Don'ts"
that should be observed by shippers
of market poultry: Don't ship bony,
skinny stock. Don't ship half-picked,
flesh-torn poultry. Don't ship to ev-
cry strange house that solicits your
consignment. First look them up; In
vestigate the references. Don't ship
dressed stock in any old box that
may be handy.
1t pays to use clean, fresh boxes,
using care and neatness in packing.
Frequently the buyer is present when
the box is opened, and sale spoiled
because Of the packing. Don't pack
poultry after dressing until all the
animal heat is out. Don't let some
little market fuster cause you to
change houses.
Get good, solid house and stick
to 1t. That keeps the commission man
interested in retaining your trade,
and oftentimes he will pull you out
of hole caused by glut. Don't
fail to carefully inspect your shipment
before closing the box.
Put in the memorandum on your
own billhead, showing the amount and
other data. Keep duplicate your
self. thereby saving much annoyance
and frequent loss.

A Good Foo Food.

Cowpeas are not only relished by
hens, but it is excellent egg food for
them. One successful poultryman
gives his experience: The peas. aft
er maturing, were harvested and
stored in dry lofts, and thrown to the
fowls in scratching pens, where they
were scratched over and searched for
during the day. After few days the
egg supply was visibly increased and
within a few weeks almost doubled
that from an equal number of hens
kept in separate quarters and fed on
other grains. The hens seemed to
like the small branches and leaves.
and would eat every particle except
the hard, stiff stems. The general
health Of the flock was excellent. and
not a single hen showed the least
symptom of ailment during the winter
season. Considering the ease with
which cowpeas may be raised, it
seems that everyone should give them
q test as food for the poultry.

One man wishes to buy a Gospel. but

sents to pay for book with his stick,

ing stick for me.
AFTER presenting many various
arguments in trying to convince the
people of the truths of our eternal
Gospel we drop back again to the
proof they can have in their own
heart at this very time in their own
village, if they will really give them
selves up in prayer to him who was
revealed to take away sin. After
talking with us the people find them
selves, perhaps the same day, in the
midst Of, say, the slaughter Of goats
throughout the village for the keeping
up of some special festival, or great
dance before their gods right on into
the night. Who knows where the
Message has really found access?"

A small pen for the market birds
will hasten fattening.
Feed, care and hen sense decide
what the profits shall be.
1t is not too soon to put houses and
coops in shape for winter.
The dull. NSt;ess bird cannot be re-
moved from the flock too soon.
A little iron tonic in the drinking
water is good during moulting.
In the fall and spring eggs
should be marketed at least once a
week.
"Clean the nest and not the egg"
is the advice of a successful eastern
egg farmer.
After dumping and burning the nest
ing material whitewash the inside Of
the nest box.
The early moulters are the early lay
ers. 1t is good plan to mark them
for breeders.
Any good stock dip also makes a
good disinfectant to kill disease germs
in poultry quarters.
More disease outbreaks in the flock
can be traced to unclean conditions
than poultrymen generally think.
When the clean, fresh eggs are gath.
cred, they should be put in a clean.
dry, cool place until marketed.
Getting rid of all birds as soon as
they are two years old will lessen
the chances of disease in the flock.
To hasten featheripg after the
molt, give tablespoonful of sulphur
in a mash to every ten hens twice
week.
Corn meal mixed in with a small
quantity of shorts end moistened wit
skim milk makes a good wet mas
to fatten the market birds.
