Farmers under the American flag will
not spend S13,S0o009 for Christmas gifts
this year that they would have had to
spend If the Democrats had not inflicted
free trade on the farm products. Farm
ers under the British flag in Canada will
spend this vast sum this year. American
bankers have Just sent them the money
Last year the people in this country
bought the same amount of farm pro-
ducts, but the money stayed in this

it.

Dawn like a hallelujah, storms the sky;
The colors vie
With one another; now crimson dye,
And now a golden--as if saints went by
In clouds of glory with mighty cry
The mists like censor smoke, far-circi-

The earth, in alteration, seems to kneel,
And, worshiping, feel
The awe and wonder that the heavens
reveal;
Above her, whom the rapture seems to
splendor on splendor, wheel on burning
wheel,
The hues. like vast cathedral music, reel.
Let us stand up, o Heart! and with one

Like Heaven rejoice:

pared by Harry r. Lewis, states:
From the time chicks are Matched

watched with the purpose of remov-

that chicks which are naturally weak
at birth never make profitable birds
to raise to maturity, either for egg
production or for meat purposes.
Therefore, it is a good practice to eN-
anime. the young chicks when they are
about a week old, and to separate
those which show lack of vigor. They
should be kept by themselves and de,

of meat they take on will cost as
