The architecture OF Holland has ev-

material available, which Is in almost
all cases brick-a brick that becomes
a warm, deep red with age, so that
the towers are often as beautiful in
color as in proportions. They are of
many kinds, and serve many pur-
poses. The churches, OF course, all
have their towers. Very often the

have a tower and also the mint.
Sometimes the tower is a landmark
for miles, like that Of the noble
church at Dordrecht, which can be
seen on its watergirt promontory
from far up the river, now concealed
by trees, now emerging again as the
bank cr.ves.
Among all Hollands many towers,
three stand out conspicuous in the
memory, as being more beautiful,
more satisfying, more stately in pro-
portion than all the rest. They are
the towers OF St Martin at Groningen.
st. Mary at Amersfoort, and the tow
er of the village church at Rhenon.
The tower OF Amersfoort most hap
PLY escaped destruction when the
church, of which IL was n part, was
blown up accidentally more than n
hundred years ago, for not only is it
intrinsically one Of the most beautiful
towers In Holland, but 1t contains a
peal OF bells by the renowned FIR
Hemony. The third tower. that OF
the Church of Rhenen, lies on the
slopes of the Rhine.
These three queenly towers have
got a little sister, n very Cinderella

OF n chimney corner. II is the tower
of the mint at Deventer. Tourists
never seem to go TO Deventer, and II
they did II Is very unlikely that they
would ever hear Of the tower Of the
mint. The initiated will lead the ad-

court surrounded by dilapidated red
rooted buildings. Here in one corner
is the little old red brick gabled
tower of the mint. neglected and for

mint at Amsterdam. of the incomplete
great landmark OF Leeuwarden, the
beautiful example at Zalt-Bommel,
and that OF the cathedral at st. Hert-

TO GIVE THEM FAIR TRIAL.
Treasury Officials Start This Week
Money Washing Machines.

Regardless Of opposition in Congress to
machines, William G
McAdoo. Secretary of the Treasury, and
John Burke, treasurer of the United
States. have determined to give d fair
trial to the four money-washing machines
which will be started this week. These
machines can turn out daily 100.O 900 wash
ed and ironed notes which otherwise
would be destroyed. Especial attention
will be paid by Treasury officials 10 the
possibility of counterfeiting the washed
currency.
Upon the results o. tile laundry here
will depend the decision of the Treasury
Department on the efficacy of the money
laundry. The subtreasury at New York
already has four machines, and those at
Boston and Philadelphia one each.
saving of approximately half mil
lion dollars annually will be effected by
the government, according to an estimate.
Arrangements already have been made
for reducing the working force of the
bureau of engraving and printing By 4OO
persons. principally plate printers and
their helpers. 1t is declared, however.
that not more than eighty or ninety
printers Will lose their positions. because
for some time vacancies have been left
unified in order that transfers may be
made when the reduction becomes ef-
fecti"e July L.
j, is estimated by those advocating the
washing machines that they will reduce
the output of the bureau of engraving
and printing by 2o.O0O0 notes annually.

always before them. Keep the water
fresh and clean
Another thing that chicks love and
keeps chicks healthy is powdered char
coal. Some poultry men do not use 1t at
all. but | believe if fed once in while
it will certainly help the chicks.
Exercise must be furnished and this is
easily done by feeding the chick grain in
litter.
Many questions have been asked about
teaching chicks to roost. Sometimes they
take to roost just as a duck takes to
water. If, however. they do not so
themselves they must be taught. 1t is
better that the chicks roost when they
get to be about then weeks old Roosts
can be put in the brooder coop and the
chicks placed on them. Only few need
be taught usually; the others follow
quickly. The roosts keep them from
drowning. and by placing them on roosts
it is easier to keep them clean.
One hears much of fine matches and
the good results of rearing chicks. but
few care to tell their reasons. or sup
posed reasons, why they failed. Why
do not those who have failed tell their
experiences? The lessons to be learned
help others. No names need be signed.

These are lively days for poultry breed
ers The chicks are running helter-
SHELTER and the joy they bring to the big
and the little household is unsurpassed.
All of us are fond of those youngsters.
Indeed the inquiries regarding their all
ments are so frequent that other testi-
mony is unnecessary Many have had
excellent matches. and there will be those
whose eggs did not produce in anything
like the proportion required for profit.
We should all sit down and consider
what We have done and endeavor to de-
terTnine what was wrong and i'll that way
gather experience for our next try.
Thousands of persons have had good
matches: therefore. there is little reason
for encouragement among those who
have been unsuccessful this year. Re-
member that those who were successful
this year may not have had good results
last year OF the year before. Persistence
is necessary.
One of the causes of failures is the en-
deavor to do too much. The attempt to
for only twenty-five, or where there was
not the leisure time that we need. is one.
But the greatest trouble is In the feeding,
Beginners especially are apt to be too an
at hand, not stopping to consider the re-
suit. Regularity is a prime feature, and
the knowledge of what is good and what
is bad. In these days, where the govern
ment Is publishing literature on the re-
suits of years of experiment. there is no
reason why the chicken raiser should not
have before him at least one correct meth
cd, and. having that, there is no good ex-
cuse for the beginner to experiment and
lose.
