can an exceptional stellar event near B. c. 6
with which it may be identified.
Johann Kepler, In his peculiar genius (for he
showed that the births of Enoch, Moses, Cyrus,
Caesar, Charlemagne, and Luther were preceded
by important astrological events) led the way in
calling attention to the astronomical phenomena
that preceded the birth Of Christ He pointed
out that there must have been a conjunction of
the planets Jupiter and Saturn at about the
time of Christs birth, and even made few pre-.
liminary calculations to prove his case. The con-
junction occurred in the sign Pisces from time
immemorial identified with the destinies Of
Israel A conjunction in that sign always signi-
fed the rising Of some mighty master Of the
Jewish race Such conjunction of Jupiter and
Saturn occurs once in about 500 years. It was,
therefore, sufficiently extraordinary In Kepler's
eyes to herald the birth OF Messiah.s
Not until 1926 was Keplers suggestion seri
ously considered by astronomers In that year
Professor Ideler, of Berlin, computed the posi-
tons OF Jupiter and Saturn and proved that they
were actually in conjunction In B. C. His cal
culations showed that they at no time over
Tapped to form a single star but that they we're
separated by a distance equal to the apparent
diameter of the moon. Accordingly Ideler had
the temerity to suppose that the wise men saw
the two planets as one star because they were
miraculously nearsighted. In justice to Ideler.
IL must DC stdleu Inat ne abandoned MS tneOry
when Encke, in 1881, repeated the calculations
and found that the actual distance between Jupi-
ter and Saturn when nearest each other in B. C.
Z. was more than the apparent diameter Of the
moon
Apart from the fact that Jupiter and Saturn
were never sufficiently near each other to be
seen as one body two planets in conjunction
can hardly be called a star Nor is 1t likely that
experienced Chaldean astrologers would SO re-
gard it. Moreover, there were other planetary
conjunctions at about the same time. Professor
Stockwell has demonstrated that a conjunction
of Venus and Mars occurred on May 9Th, B. c.
6. about fifty days less than two years before
Herod's death. Because the mandate for the

kBy SKLNANUb VAN AkEN.l
These late Matched chicks may be-
made profitable If one has a separate
pen for them. Good fertile eggs can
usually be secured in September or
early October at reasonable cost.
The chicks will feather out before
cold weather sets in and the cockerels
attain salable size at time when they
command good prices. Lice are not
likely to be troublesome at this time
of year.
The pullets will begin laying as soon
as they are old enough, which is just
as the natural breeding season arrives
in spring. They are not mature
enough to make good breeding stock.

Filth and health are arch enemies.
Recklessness Is a short road to
failure.
During inclement weather fowls are
better indoors than out,
It is the wise poultryman who stu
dies the comfort of his fowls.
The merits of the scratching shed
are shown during bad weather.
A pint of kerosene in gallon Of
whitewash makes an excellent insectt
eide.
The closer fowls are confined the
greater the need for variety In their
food ration.
1t is an easy matter to overfeed
fowls, and poultrymen should bear
this In mind
/ AS a rule, the larger the number Of
fowls kept the smaller the expense
in proportion
In poultry breeding, utility should
be the first consideration; beauty
should follow.
Washing the eggs opens the pores
and hastens decay. It Is best to keep
the nests clean.
Chills, wet food and lack of sun
shine are the main causes Of bowel
trouble in chicks.
The oily nature of ducks feathers
keeps them from being seriously
bothered with lice.
In order to manufacture eggs It Is
necessary for a hen to be supplied
with the proper material.
To make sure that fowls have
enough grit 1t should be kept where
they can help themselves at win
A good poultryman IL industrious,
not easily discouraged, filed with

It is a good rule to give fowls all

appetite win be greater than othAE
days.

GRAIN FEEDER FOR POULTRY
Newly Invented Device Depends on
Same Principle as ls Used In
Batting Animal Trap.

A newly invented type of automatic
poultry feeder depends upon the same
principle that is used in batting a trap,
for the feeder has a bait that is pecked
by the hungry fowls and, in response,
the machine let's shower Of grain
fall on the ground, which they devour,
says the Popular Mechanics.
The machine consists of galvan-
ized-iron supply fount filled with grain
and revolving toothed wheel at the
base Of it. This wheel is mounted on
very delicate bearings which admit OF
its movement at the slightest touch.
Attached to the wheel is a shaft which
supports the bait The bait consists
Of hollow tube OF wire netting con-
tanning wheat The fowls see the
wheat through the netting and peck at
it, causing the toothed wheel to re-
volve and throw out grain from the top
supply fount which falls on the low
er metal cone and is scattered over
the ground almost as efficiently as by
hand. This prevents the fowls from
-gorging themselves.
After the feeder has been in use for
a time there is no great rush by the
fowls to peck the bait as one would

Christians and il at the fall Of Constantinople
in 1883 all Christendom was alarmed at the APP
pearance of a comet "a comet which 2 now

able that the Orient was no less impressed by
these sudden visitations. Comprising, as 1t does,

nucleus and measuring from twenty thousand

partitions that ever meets the eye But whether
or not the Star Of Bethlehem really was such an
apparition no one can affirm with certainty An
astronomer can merely state that the idea ia not
untenable and that it is less Objectionable than
the conjunction hypothesis.
Lastly, the theory has been proposed that the
Star Of Bethlehem was what is called a new"
star or nova" a star which suddenly flares up
In the heavens and fades away again to its
former magnitude after the lapse of weeks or
months Such new stars are not altogether rare.
Ten appeared between B. G. 1874 and the end Of
the fifteenth century. Since the fifteenth cen
fury no less than sixteen have been recorded.
In our own time they are discovered with fair
frequency.

There are some exceptions to this
rule, yet generally speaking IL a bird

favorable for a good body; and, if it
has a poor head, the chances are
against it. l have frequently noticed

When they were questioned where the king was
to be born they answered: In Bethlehem Of
Judea -for thus 1t Is written by the prophet, And
thou, Bethlehem, in the land Of Juda, art not the
least among the princes of Juda; for out Of thee
shall come a governor, that shall rule my people
Israel" According to the authorized version II
is then stated in the New Testament that
"Herod when he had privily called the wise men,
inquired of them diligently what time the star
appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and
said Go and search diligently for the young
child; and when we have found him, bring me
word again, that / may come and worship him
also. When they had heard the king, they de
pRted; and 10, the star, which they saw in the
east, went before them, till 1t came and stood
over where the young child was. When they saw
the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great Joy.
