Running the Incubator

The incubator has many adv an

succeed in rearing from $50 to $50
chicks yearly under the ordinary
farm conditions could rear twice
the number with half the labor if
they used incubators. Some think it
takes an expert and a couple of
hours every day to successfully run
an incubator but such is not the
case.
I figure that it takes me an av-
erage of Is minutes daily Give

to care for two machines having a
Matching capacity of ITO eggs each

tor. 1t requires but little longer to
look after two machines with
double the capacity. To hatch $40
eggs by hens would require aoout
Is hens, and allowing one minute
to look over each hen night and
morning there is nearly an hour
spent each day, besides the cost of
feed which would faI exceed the
cost of the incubator oil.
In selecting a machine patronize
reliable company and choose the
size best needed to your wants. This
depends upon the number of chicks

size for small breeders is one for

should not be over a week old when

Easter.

At Easter we should feel cur
very hearts budding and'blossoming
with new loves. newihopes and new
determinations to realize the joyful
ness of the Christian spring. What
is it that makes Easter morning
glorious with a glory all its own? 1t
is the resurrection of our Lord
Jesus Christ. 1t is an abandoned
grave. 1t is the angel ministry
which says to all human sorrow the
winter is over and gone; the time Of
the singing of the birds is come.

this gospel of redemption and
preach the gracious doctrines of
Christ with an accent of hope rising
into an accent of triumph.-Rev.

was somewhat surprised recent
ly to read of the livestock values in
Missouri as reported by correspond
ents of the state board of agricul-
ture, in which report spring colts
were on December first, valued at
$52.75 per head, yearlings at $76,70.

This would not sound quite so bad
were it not for the fact that high
grades and purebreds are included
in this report and their values being
much higher than the average,
would cut down the value of a lot
of these colts to a figure that means

Whuopine Cough.

Whooping-cough is one of the
most fatal of the acute diseases af-
fectin6 children. The death-rate is
greater than that from measles and
scarlet-fever combined. 1t is caused
by a 6erm which is thrown from a
PATENTS mouth or nOStTilS in the
act of coughing. These germs may
be thrown into the faces of other
children, or i'll the room, where
they will mix with dust, when the
snutum dries, and be inhaled.
The prevention of acknowledgement
may be accomplished by isolating
the infected child until the Symp-
toms of the disease disappear. This
means until the child has stopped
coughing for at least two or three
weeks. The period of isolation is
necessarily long because it requires
from one or two weeks to some
times two three months for whoop-
ing-cough to run its course.
During the period Of isolation, ii
the child is old enough, he should
be taught to cough into a paper

The Easter service surpassed in in
terest any similar celebration in re-
cent years. Our building could not
accommodate the audience which
greatly enjoyed the program rendered
by the Sunday school. AS a result of
the service the sum of 5000 was
raised for the foreign mission work.

which was greatly enjoyed by all.
Mrs. Straghn is herself a product OF
our missionary effort in South Amer
lea, and is now one of our most sue
cessful field workers.
The special meeting of the Mems
Bible class was great success. The
paper of Dr. Jones was of rare inter-

will be to their profit. The paper was
ably discussed by DR.. Thos HAZEL,

SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES.

Easter festival was observed at
Shorter chapel Sunday with the rem
dition of brilliant Easter music and
appropriate exercises at each service.
Large crowds filled the auditorium,
one person professed a saving faith
in Christ and united with the church,
and splendid Offering was made for
home and foreign missions.
The exercise rendered by the pri-
mary department of the Sunday
school in the afternoon evoked many
fiattering comments. Many regard it
the best in the history of the school.
Good for Mrs. Rebecca Glenn and
Mrs. Fannie Brown, the two superin-
tendents.
The ordnance of holy baptism was
administered at both the morning and
evening services Those who received
this rite were Brothers Vim. A. Spiv-
ey, ]. N. Bats, Sisters Zoetta Hodge,
Josephine Lowe and Alberta Tolbert.
Little Levonia Amy. Helen Spratlin,
and Dorothy Elizabeth Jones were
also presented for baptism by DR.. and
Mrs. P. E. Spratlin and Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Jones, respectively.
The membership of Shorter is ex-
ultant over the steady progress the
church is making, and especially over
the growing congregation. This con-
dition has been brought about in part
by the splendid service our choir has
rendered. This fact was clearly dem
onstrated in the captivating music
rendered both at the morning service
and in the grand musical recital at
the evening hour.
Our spring campaign was launched
last Sabbath; % clubs made their
first partial report. The outlook is
bright The second report will be
due April 11th. A report is expected
from every club at this time.
The Sewing Circle is preparing for
grand bazaar in the near future.
