FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

The Society for Foreign Missions
OF Paris, consists of 1,415 priests,
laboring in thirty-three dioceses, vicar

the Society with the charge of the
four dioceses of Japan.-The Vicari-

Chau, Kwang-Si, Szechnan (three vi

France lessened for a while the mum.
Der of vocations to the priesthood, and
many Bishops refused their ecclesias-

the Seminary for Foreign Missions,
because of their need of priests at

of the Bishops that the Seminaries of
France are again becoming populated

Bievre. Over eighty of them are per-
forming their two years military serv-
ice. The actual number of 225 Sem
inarians of the Society is increasing
every day. When one bears in mind
that besides the Society for Foreign
Mission, most of the Religious Orders
and Societies that labor in China,
India, Oceanica and Africa recruit the
majority of their vocations in France,
it can readily be seen that notwith-
standing the dreadful war, waged
against the Church, by an infidel gov
eminent, the nation has not given up
her traditions of selfsacrifice and de-
votion to the faith of their fathers.

MUD CHAPELS IN THE WILDER
NESS.

Bishop Hummel, of Cape Coast Castle,
Africa, is producing results judg-
ing from the figures of the past year.
The mission is comparatively a new
one, and the obstacles were many,
but the Fathers seem to have thrust
them aside. We have been helping
the Bishop, and he is grateful for the
pittance.
i am praying the dear Sacred
Heart he writes, ito bless all the
friends of this mission in America.
1t is consoling to witness the great
achievements their untired zeal is
working out for the benefit of poor
missions. The photograph am send
ing is one of our out stations, not
much to look at, to be sure, and yet
splendid work is done through these
humble chapels. 1T lies three DAYS
journey in the interior, and there are
over fifty more like it. In April last
year | opened large and beautiful
church-beautiful for this part of the
World-and I am now building a con-
vent for the Sisters with a large
school room for girls. The number of
confessions last year went as high as
1851; Communions 1919, and twenty
marriages took place. Twice as much
work could be done had we more
means at our disposal, for there is no
place throughout the vicariate that
would not open wide it's doors for the
Catholic priest"

but lime alone is very cleansing, and
many dislike the somewhat persistent
odor of the carbolic acid. There is
another form of wash liked better by
some, on account of Its more gluey
characteristics, as ordinary whitewash
rubs of rather easily. For this, one
half bushel OF lime, one peck OF salt
three pounds of ground rice half a
pound OF Spanish whiting and one
pound OF clear glue are the rightly
proportional ingredients. Stake the
lime in boiling water. keeping 1t just
covered with the water. Strain 1t and
add the salt, the rice, which has been
boiled with water to a thin paste, the
whiting and the glue, previously dis
solved In warm water. Mix carefully
and let the mixture stand three OF
four days When ready to use the
wash reheat 1t and apply while hot.

PREPARING GULL
BIRDS FOR MARKET
Should Be Fattened as Soon as
Fowls Reach Proper Size
No Easy Task

How to fatten the culls for market
Is a question that is worrying every
poultryman that has some for sale at
this time. 1t is a problem of no little
concern.
1t is not hard to put fat on fowls,
but to put fat on at a profit is
what is the problem. TO do this we
must keep in mind that the sooner
we market them the greater the
profit.
AS soon as the culls have reached a
proper size they should be fattened.
Place them in a pen to themselves
and feed them foods that contain a
large per cent. OF carbohydrates. such
as corn or its milling products. Dur
ing the process of fattening do not
give them any green food at all
1t usually takes about twenty days
to properly prepare a fowl for the
market. With ducks it only takes ten
days. AS soon as they are plump
either kill them or ship them TO
your commission man or else send
them alive.

OF SUBSTANTIAL POULTRY

Than Seven Feet High With Windows Extending to

Pouittg housing in the west Is n

ing to our winters, the cost OF build
ing suitable houses would be so
great that the profits of the poultry.
man would be eaten up before he got
started. After having had six win
tiers experience in Alberta, we are
using eighteen houses of the type IL
lustrated in this article. that have
been constructed somewhat cheaper
than the houses we used in Ontario.
The house illustrated is 12x20 feet,
giving accommodation for so birds.
Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1912-11-21

Some may try to dispute this and
claim that not more than 40 birds
should be kept in it. as that is the
rule in the east, but owing to our dry
atmosphere we can keep them in
closer quarters as the main protec-
ton is required in the night.
We build the houses four feet high
on the northside and seven feet high
on the south side. No matter what
design of house is built, the south
side should not be less than seven
feet high, with the windows extending
right to the top. Starting at the bot
tom of the house remember there is
no board floor there should be suf-
f1cient earth brought in in the fall of
the year to raise the ground inside
about six inches higher than the
ground outside. That will give good
drainage so that the earth will re-
main loose and dry all winter. 1t also
provides a dust bath for the fowls
and does away with the box in the
corner. Six or eight inches of
threshed straw should be placed on
the ground inside the house in the
winter SO that the birds can be kept
busy in the cold weather. The drop
ping board is built 20 inches above
the ground. and should be IS inches
wide for each perch. The perches
should be 2x4 scantling. on edge. or
a good. strong pole, and should be
suspended from the rsof and not
touch the side OF the house, as it is
much easier to isolate the fowls from
the vermin than to keep the vermin
out OF the house The top of the
perches should not be more than
eight inches above the dropping
board. Then a platform made OF 1x2

Oldest Almanac.

The oldest almanac in existence is
the "AImanach National" which has
been issued by the French govern
ment since 1886. Its name has been
changed a good many times during
its career of 225 years. Originally the
"Almanach Royal It became ma.
tional" in 1893, Imperial" in 1905,
and reverted to its original name nine
years later. Since then the title has
been altered four times. Like most
publications OF this sort, the Al
manach National" has grown bulky
with advancing years. The first issue
contained 4s pages, as compared with
1850 pages In the current issue.

The Iceland Fishermen

From lIaIpers Weekly.
 The life Of the French fishermen who spend the season off the coast of lee land is term of desperate endurance. The work is done in all weather and during the season, between April and late September, France loses one barque. oftener two, every week. In the coast villages of Brittany the lit- ile burying grounds are full of empty graves. the crosses bear the names Of those lost al sea. When the tempest oyerturns a barque the men cling to it's sides, thrust their knives deep in Inc upturned hull and hang on to the handles until their hands let go their hold. When a wreck is found the knives sticking in the hull are counted and rTieir number, reported to the first station.
 Xhe ships are always under sail when moi forced to lay to. The first boats reach the grounds about the last of March or the first of April. when the worst storms rage, so the work is com plieated by exhausting struggles with sea.
 The codfish run in compact banks oyer Il hundred meters deep. The coast Is wild. and there, where no ship can find refuge from the storms. the Breton barques go to pieces to drift to the Humber yard" of the Atlantic. The men fish with heavily weighted lines. Each line carries several balts. The fishing
