knows how TO stand things. have
been amazed by the endurance OF
men in this very region traversed by
Jacob, who could sleep on the ground
or on Z board, often in driving snow
or pelting rain. Their life has taught
them to endure the buffetings Of M.
ture. ~
So We find Jacob sleeping amid the
rocks 1T Bethel with no fictitious &C
cessor1es. He was plain runaway,
scared and troubled. His anxious
days were followed by restless nights.
Not even In sleep could he ind
quiet
In these days Of pilgrimage Jacob
had been thinking. Apparently he
was learning new way of looking
at things. Some men have to 60 into
4 far country before they can learn
the meaning of home. It is bitter
school which experience keeps. Jacob
was learning what the history of the
race teaches, that dishonor does not
pay, and that personal profit may be
gained at too high price.
Dreams That Reach Upward.
The first clear intimation of life
beyond this present one to be found
In scripture is this experience of IA
cob 1T Bethel. He in his dream saw
a ladder reaching to heaven.
Daily thoughts are the stun Of
which our dreams are made. Jacob
had been meditating upon the God
of his fathers. He was getting .
spiritual illumination. Now in this
dream he saw how near to earth IL
the life beyond. Heaven is not far
from us. Even the mind of an in
dividual may bring heaven and earth
together. In the reyulsion from his
old self which remorse had brought
to him, Jacob had been driven to
nobler thoughts. AS he progressed
toward Mesopotamia he was progress
ing toward grace.
An Old Agreement Ratified.
Like many a man who is walking
the streets today, Jacob found that
God was dealing better with him
than he deserved. The covenant with
Abraham was not abrogated because
Jacob had fallen 80 far below specifi-
cations. The promise to Abraham's
seed still held true. Jacob was In
the line Of the covenant. After all,
he was the better Of the two sons
which Is saying little.
Now with his new vision he saw
God at the head Of the ladder stretch
ing from earth to heaven. He had
in his dream communion with God,
who ratified the promise Of old. 1t
was a renewal OF the old agreement
between Jehovah and Abraham; and
1t gave to Jacob the new sense Of God
and, Gods protection.
After his night Of dreams, Jacob
awoke declaring that this place had
become Bethel, or house of God.
The name is one truly borne by many
churches. Each soul has It's own
Bethel, where it has come face to
face with the infinite realities and
the eternal personality. Memory
erects its pillars of memorial at these
places even as ancient orientals used
to set up their stones of remembrance.
It is good to remember the past. for
thereby we are fortified In the pres
emit.

aught he knew. Esau might be only q

Study to Know the
Profitable From the
Improbable Hen
Follow Advice and Eisn-lnste IN,
Drones From Your
Flock.

1t seems TO me we can not over
estimate the importance of finding
out whether our hens are paying a
good profit or not: and which ones
are the drones and cutting down the
profit. The only way TO do this is
to keep a record. Under present con-
ditions, when almost everything that
goes to help produce a dozen eggs,
comes the necessity for stricter econ
orny and the knowing of what it takes
to produce the eggs. We must turn
over a new leaf and open an account
with the hens. We must charge them
with what they consume, and at the
same time give them credit for all
eggs laid at the market price, whether
they are sold or consumed by the
family. 1t is not much work, If you
but have a little account book in
which to keep it. Five minutes a day

the little extra trouble in ascertain
ing Just where you stand.
The owner who has, by the use Of
$50 4 AAN1Np AChAih OuA tue EBk- pro-
ducing abilities of his flock has taken
the hrst step toward separating the
Improbable hen from the profitable
one, a thing that every one who keeps
hens should be able to tell or know
We are often asked the question
as TO what constitutes a profitable
hen? 1t IS one that will pay for
her feed, interest on the investment
of roosting house. labor taken to care
for her and a profit besides. OF
course, the cost of feeding a hen
will vary quite a little, owing to the
different sections of the country in
which II is kept. Feed is quite
little cheaper in some places than
others. 1t is but little trouble to count
the cost of feeding ten or twenty
hens. If you buy the feed, it is easily
put down. II you are raising your
own feed, simply measure out bar
rel or two of it, putting down the

price it is worth. then go to work
feeding it,
Farmers are beginning to appre-
ciate the worth Of the really laying
hen. They are beginning to find out
that 1t does not pay to even harbOr
one that is too old to lay well or that
never did lay much. All such should
be cut right out of the game. And
there is no way so good to determine
that fact as by the trap-nest and the
little record book
With the ever and rapidly increas-
ing values of farm lands it is but
natural that the farmer should look
about him for some plan by which he
can increase his income without
greatly increasing his farm expenses,
or investing in more land TO do il
with. The farmer has this very fac
tor in the hen. if she is a good one.
And there are good ones if we will
but take the trouble TO get acquainted
with her There are but few farms
in the country but what have from
one to three acres of land going
to waste, or rather that are not being
utilized. This is about the house and
outbuildings. If this could be fenced
and subdivided and a lot of good
hens located therein il would soon be-
an expense to keep free from weeds
and trash. l Dc not think il ad-
visable for the farmer to try to run
all to poultry, but just a hint to them
that may help them to raise money
for the taxes and various odds and
ends that take the cash, leaving the
regular farm crops in tact for other
purposes. Tests show us that hens
have made a record of 200 eggs per
year; some have done even better
than that but a good many have done
that we'll Now it is an old saying
that what has been done can be
done again. so let us not fool away
our time keeping hens that will only
give us the old farm average of rs
eggs per year. That kind just about
pays for its keep, so that If we get
rid of them and keep the $50 to 200
egg kind then we get the profit that
Is due us. A flock of good, thorough
bred hens, say 300, should give US d
profit of $400 to $500 OF course,
you read of people making $500 from
ten hens and a rooster but that is
from real fancy stock in which there
is all kinds of possibilities, but on
the other hand there is the chance
that you will not make anything from
them. We have reference to the COM
mercial kind, well managed; but it
can not be done with the hit or miss
scrub kind They are too much like
the Irishman's flea. you get your fn-
ger on them and they are not there.
