A Long Felt Want Fulfilled.

Nathaniel Rufin, a we'll known cit
izen IS sole manager.
Ever since the foundation of this
government the colored citizens of
this city have been in need of a first
class hotel where families and guests
from other cities may go with I'M
punity and with reservation. Thou
sands of the best and well known
colored people have visited this city
and do visit it now, but they have no
place of dignity to go with their fam
lies and feel at home. DR.. Booker
T Washington, about a year ago
made a special plea to the Negro
Business League Of this city to see
to it that a hotel be erected, for the
accommodation of the colored people;
that when he, Dr. Washington, comes
to the city he is compelled to 60 TO
some private home.

SILO FOR SUMMER FEEDING

WHEN PASTURES ARE SHORT.

Prof c. II. Eckles OF the University OF
Missouri predicts that eventually the
majority Of stock farmers in Missouri
will use the silo not only for winter
feed supply but for a reserve TO use in
summer.
"Silage can be kept without loss
from one year TO another" he says,
"and II II is not needed during the
summer months the silo may be re.
filled in the fall by taking out the
layer Of rotten material which will be
found on the top. II the pastures are
short on account OF temporary lack OF
rainfall, the silo may be opened and
the stock kept In good condition. On
farms where a considerable amount

FARMER CAN PICK

GAMBLING SHOWS AGE AND
QUALITY AND ONES NOT
MARKETABLE.
BY Professor X. L. kempster Of the
University Of Missouri.

Probably no one thing the farmer
can do will improve the poultry in
dustry more than taking care with the
eggs. According to Prof. H. l.. Kemp
ster Of the University OF Missouri, the
first thing every raiser Of chickens
should do, If he plans to use or sell
eggs for the market, is To remove the
ROSTERS from the laying flock. The
rooster is not necessary there, and the
eggs from the fock will be much bet
ter keepers when he is gone
The next thing to do in improving
the eggs is to grade them and throw
out the bad ones. BY gathering only
from nests that are known, and using
the dirty and cracked eggs at home.

There are other reasons for the cul-

One Of the big reasons is because the

Looking back over history his was

principles and powers that have
caused his kingdom to become great
in the earth lisa. 9:7) Under the
branches Of this kingdom have lodged
the weary and the stricken ones The
birds Of the air symbolic the gather
ing together Of the nations Of the
earth that they may take refuge un-
der the shelter and shadow Of the
kingdom Of God, see Eek. II, Daniel
4, etc. We must beware Of fauciful
interpretations or applications. The
main truth is that almost without ex.
ception the beginnings Of all great
movements in the kingdom Of God
have been like mustard seed small
but exceeding great in their growth.
Witness such moral developments as
the slavery question. Compare the
present day temperance agitation with
what It amounted to one hundred, yes,
twenty-five years ago. The same can
be said of countless other move
ments."

and wickedness, but that We who have
put away leaven are the bread of sin.
