1t is surprising how many people,
otherwise model citizens, are guilty
of cruelty to both fowls and animals.
1T may not be altogether intentional
on their part, but nevertheless they do
things that call for censure.
One of the most common acts is to
carry chickens by their legs, heads
down. This cruelty has been practiced
for years and no one thought much
about it.
They did not notice the rush OF
blood to the head of the fowl when
carried that way. A neighbor of ours
the other day was carrying fat hen
by the legs and in a few moments the
bird was gasping and came pretty
close to choking to death.
An equally cruel method is to carry
tho fowl by the wings-especiallly SO
when the fowls are heavily bodied
The proper way is to allow the fowl
to rest on the arm, the legs held firm.

wise roughly handling them. When
demonstrated with he replied that it
did not matter, as the birds would
soon be killed.
With some people it is common oc-
currence to throw chickens over the
fence into a yard There Is really

reach the ground and when this cruelty
lis performed when the attendant is in
q fit of anger there is considerable
force put into the throw.
A very pious old gentleman was
vexed to the "cussing' point because
his chickens happened to get out of
the yard through broken fence in
to his garden.
In his anger he threw stone and

should be kept before them from the
start. Finely cut dry bone should
also be kept in boxes where they can
help themselves.
After a few days allow the chicks
to run with their mothers and feed
them only at morning and night. At
this time, though, put out the feed
coop for them. This coop is Slated

go in but the large chickens can not

if the old hen brings them up at noon
as she usually does they can eat and

ever they may need from the other

How much better it would have
been to have carefully driven these
fowls back into the yard and at once
repaired the fence.
Verify the contrairiness of the hen
if not in it with the contrairiness and
stupidity Of some of the attendants.
A common cruelty is to overcrowd
the flock, especially in close badly
ventilated houses. Allowing the sup
ply Of drinking water to run out and
placing the drinking vessels in the
sun are also cruelties practiced by
shiftless, lazy people.
Many acts of cruelty can be named
in the methods employed in breaking
up brOodiness in hens. For instance,
dousing them in water, tying them by
one leg to a stake or throwing them
into yard of young cockrels to be

practices that should be stopped.

there are no nests or male birds and
allow them to have the fever gradually

For some years back it was the
custom to sell the little (newly
hatched) chicks at the poultry shows
and also at large bro stores around
Easter time.
These innocents were bought by
fond parents for their little tots and
carried to their home in pasteboard
boxes. Without the proper brooder

not stop to think that their very acts
are uncharitable and unchristianlike-

From his speech before the

1.-The saloon is q nuisance. The
evil can no more be confined
to the building in which it exists
than the odor of n slaughter

is located.

they are in league with every

err have his way, he will have a

have gambling den in his back
room, and his place will be the
center of every sort of evil.

a policeman looks for crime, and
the last place he would go to

Some Hints About Alfalfa.

A correspondent, writing in
SUNDAYS Times Dispatch says:
keep up your hints and sug-
gestions about alfalfa and its
value to Virginia, and never lose
an opportunity to give informa-
ton about it. Let's throw out a
hint or two:
Alfalfa will pay 6 per cent
interest on 81, 900 an acre land !;
It'll equal to wheat bran as stock
feed; one acre of alfalfa is equal
to six acres of timothy; where
corn will net $500 per acre,
alfalfa will net $50 per acre.
Every farmer should grow some
alfalfa.
This is the statement of A. P.
Grout, for twenty-five years a
grower of alfalfa. now President
of the Illinois Alfalfa Growers
Association. Referring to this
statement, Harry b. Potter, in
Home and Farm, says it is not
a wild boost for the crop that is
creating so great interest every
where, "but is the conservative
opinion of one who has made a
success of farming. and gives
credit to alfalfa for much of that
success.

Cruelty to Dumb Animals.

Two articles appeared in the
Herald which read together be-
come exceedingly interesting,
and there is no question that they
should be read together. One
deals with the will of Miss Car
oline G. Even, who left the
larger portion of an estate worth
$500, 600 to organizations formed
to care for dogs, cats and horses,
and to oppose vivisection. The
will is to be contested on the
grounds that Miss Even was not
mentally cabable of making a
will. Surely the disposition that
Miss Even made of much of her
money for humane purpose is
not evidence of lack of mental
capacity, and one turns to an
other piece of news as revealing
a condition which shows the
soundest reasons for such be-
quests as she has made in behalf
of suffering animals. This is an
account Of court proceedings to
be brought by the Pennsylvania
Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, aided by
four wealthy women, against five
doctors connected with the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. 1t is
to be hoped that the allegations
will prove to be the result Of a
misunderstanding, but the ac-
cusations, if half are true, may
well make the blood boil. 1t is
asserted that many dogs were

Conference will promote the
cause of Christian Unity. That
Commission is inviting allChrist-
ian Communions throug hout the
world which confess our Lord
Jesus Christ as God and Saviour
to unite with the Episcopal
Church in arranging for and con-
Quoting such a Conference. More
than twenty such cooperating
Commissions have been appoint

Communions in the United States
and the Church of England in
England and Canada. Invita-
tions are now being sent to the
other leading Communions out
side the United States as fast us

officers can be obtained. The
Episcopal Commission is publish
ed leaflets. explaining the scope
and methods of the Conference,

who urged, at the meeting when
the Commission was organized,
that the side of organization
shall not be made prominent, but
that we shall seek spiritual
power. The first step shall be.

to rededicate ourselves to God,
free from past prejudices, in or

may have a spiritual power sim

lay men and women in Virginia
to the number of 164 have already
been brought together, at least

geographically so that those who
are interested enough in Chris
tan Unity to apply to be placed
on the list may obtain the names
