Keep the Hen House Clean.

A few minutes with hoe, each
morning will keep the droppings
boards clean and it is really much
easier to do the work this way than
to allow the drOppings to accumu-
late for a week. 1t is also much
better for the health of the fowls,
as the odor rising from accumulat-
ed droppings is irritating to the
throat and is apt to cause disease.
Lice breed in the filth of dirty
poultry houses and it makes the
battle with them much easier to
keep everything clean. A small
hand sprayer is very useful in the
work and if used to spray around
the roosts, especially at the ends
where they rest on the supports it
will be great help in keeping the
place free from mites and other
pests. Star Farmer.

Some Bad Facts.

The Republican campaign fund in
1908 amounted to $1665,518.27.
The Democratic fund was $620644.-
81. The Republicans had more
than million in excess of the Dem
ocrats.
The number who contributed to
the Republican fund was 10000,
and to the Democratic fund, $4,000.
In other words, the number of con-
tributors to the Democratic fund
was six times greater, and their
contributions amounted to a million
dollars less. The contributors to
the Republican fund, as rule, we're
interested in legislation, the money
coming from such men as J. Pier
pont Morgan, Charles P. Taft, An.
drew Carnegie, Charles M. Schwab,
John Jacob Aston and the heads of
the various wooden mills who de-
sired the passage Of the Payne~Al-
drich law, together with donations
from the Wall street banks railroad
magnates, and individuals represent
ing the tariff trusts.
The contributors to the Demo-
cratic fund were not personally in
terested in legislation.
The contributions to the Republi-
can fund ranged from $4,000
downward while contributions to
the Democratic-fund ranged from
$1,000 downward. These are bald
facts, but they tell part of the rea.
son why.-St Joseph Observer.

Imprisoned Sunshine.

Did you ever stop to think that
the sooty lump coal you so care
lessly toss into the bed of fire is
made up of sunbeams? Scientists
tell us that imbedded in the black
lump is the golden glory of the sun
shine of millions of years ago, when
our Mother Earth was forming for
her wonderful work later on. The
club MOSES. the grasses, ferns,
shrubs, vines, and trees drew down
the sunlight and wove its bright
threads in their wonderful looms,
filling in the beautiful patterns of
leaf and stem and ring. When the
cold shuts US indoors, and we turn
to our coal fires for warmth, do we
ever think that we are watching the
glory of the sunshine nature folded
away in her ages-old workshop for
use in the ages to come? Nothing
in this universe is ever lost; every
thing is accounted for, and when it
has served its purpose in one form,
although it seems to vanish alto
gether, it is only laid away to be
worked over in other forms. The
glory that was imprisoned in the
coal formation comes back to US,
today, in the red and yellow flame
that warns our hands and cooks our
meals. But there are other ways
in which this forgotten sunshine
comes back to us. The richest and
rarest of dyes are obtained from tar,
and the tar is obtained from the
coal. In the worlds WORK today, in
every channel of trade, we are using
up the stored sunshine of the time
when the earth was young. So, we,
too, shall be laid aside, in time, our
bodies returning to the workshop of
nature, to be transformed to new
uses 1T doth not appear" how, or
for what purpose; but we, like the
imprisoned sunshine, shall live
again. There is no Death. Com

took its name from his family. He

He entered territory astride a burro

A Problem That Every Public
School Teacher Must Solve.

Sooner or later every public
school teacher must solve this
problem: the salary question. Why
is it that such a small per cent of
teachers now engaged in the public
schools have not been in the work
more than three years? They like
the work; it's an honorable work, a
noble work, yet they discontinue it
