Friday Was Cleanup Day
and Much Trash Was
Csrted Away.
CITIZENS ALL COOPERATE
Work Was Done Under Auspices
Of Ladies' Reading Circle and
Proved Great Success.

Cleanup day was carried out
Friday with very gratifying re-
suits. much of the unearned in
crement was lifted from the
streets and vacant lots, and the
town looks improved as a result.
The work. so well started, will
continue with the view of getting
everyone interested in keeping
things clean and tidy.
The citizens are to be praised
for cooperating so well with the
Ladies' Reading Circle in the
work. Wagons and help were
plentiful and there was a general
spirit of interest manifested. A
committee of |. |. and c. girls,
who have been studying home
science, was asked to serve as
judges and inspect in the differ
ent wards, where prizes were
offered to the colored people for
the best kept yards. They re-
port great Improvement. but will
not be able to give out the names
of prize winners for several days
yet.
Columbus has natural gifts
that never fail to attract people,
and for this reason the town
should be well kept. If those
persons owning vacant lots would
offer them to be cultivated, it
might add to the looks of Colum-
bus, as we'll as work to the ad-
vantage Of the owner.

Pottery suitable for Flowers.

There should be harmony between
the flowers and the receptacles which
hold them. A vase of flowers should
be plain and not ornate. It is strange
that so few houses are supplied with
vases suitable for flowers. Pottery
and glass holders are to be preferred.
The unglazed Rookwood and Gruby
ware are beautiful, but costly There
are, however, many good limitations
Cut glass, cypress glass, the rides
cent, favriIe and rock crystal, and
many other varieties of glass make
beautiful receptacles for flowers. A
wire screen placed on top of a wide
mouthed vase is a valuable aid in the
arrangement of flowers. The Japan
ese perforated holder, to be placed in
the bottom of a case, is also a splen-
did idea. By using it each flower
stem can be put in a separate hole,
giving most natural appearance, as
Of flowers growing.
The size of the vase must be in pro-
portion to the flowers it contains,
short-stemmed flowers requiring small,
shallow vases, and long-stemmed fow-
ers, tall and deep. ones. For example,
pansies, nasturtiums, sweet peas, re-
Quire low receptacles; roses, lilies and
chrysanthemums tall ones.

cnInr Combinations


The soft velvet used in new evening

rich folds, that catch the light and
shade with exquisite effect. Emerald
and moss green are very pretty and
do not soil easily. The Innings are in

spending or contrasting color, but the
corresponding shade is the more prac-
tieal for those who have not a series
of evening gowns, because with the
gown Of one color, the velvet Of the

it is well nigh impossible, unless very
great care is taken in choosing the
shade, to form a thoroughly success
full combination or harmony of color.

longer than that of the beef type. The
neck is long and lean, joining to the
body rather abruptly. The withers
are sharp, with the spinal column
prominent and the barrel long and ca
pacious, indicating good feeding capa-
city. The ribs are sprung down and
outward and wide spaced, the heart
and loin girth large and the tail fine
with heavy switch. The form of the
dairy COW is frequently spoken Of as
the triple wedge" form. First, she
shows increased depth Of body to-
wards the rear when viewed from one
side. Secondly, she widens gradually
from the breast to the points Of the
hips. Thirdly, looking down on the
back the form widens gradually down

well developed and even quartered; is
soft and pliable but not fabby when
emptied. The milk veins are large
and tortuous and enter the abdominal
wall in two or more large milk veins.

many of the breeds but most charac'
teristically in the distinct dairy

for uniformly conforming to the true
dairy type. They are the Holsteinsr

son save that Of inherited weakness.
For this class of troubles the only
remedy is to breed from the better
stock
The prevention of the second class
of ailments comes under the general
head of Feeding" A chicken, wheth-
er young or old, to thrive well, must
have exercise, clean water, grit, a va
riety of grain food, green or succu-
lent food, and casein or meat foods.
The food requirements of a laying
hen are very like those required by
a growing chicken. Yarded or shut-in
hens should be supplied with more
lime than the food contains, however,
to provide for the egg shell. Crushed
oyster shell is much used for this
purpose.
The third class of ailments belongs
to the group of contagious diseases.
These contagious diseases may be
grouped into the general classes:
First, those highly contagious; sec
ond, those contracted by fowls that
are in a weakened condition. Chicken
cholera is representative of the first
class. This is spread by droppings
and dead birds, and through feed
and water. To stamp out the disease,
kill and burn all sick chickens, and
disinfect the premises frequently and
thoroughly with a spray made of one
half gallon carbolic acid. one-half gal
Ion of phenol and 20 gallons of water.
Corrosive sublimate one part in 1000
parts of water should be used in the

POULTRY
PRACTICAL TALK ON POULTRY
Much Advice Given by Theoretical
Writers Not Worthy of consId-
Grafton on Average Farm.

The advice commonly given in poul-
try papers would require one to exer-
else nearly as much pains in the
cleaning of a chicken house as in the
cleaning of a kitchen. Such advice
may be suitable for the city poultry
fanciers, but some Of it is out of place
when given to the farmer Poultry
raising, the same as any other farm
work, must pay for the labor put into
1t, and this will not be the case if at
tempt is made to follow all the sug-
gestions Of the theoretical poultry
raiser.
The ease with which the premises
may be kept reasonably free from lit
ter and filth is a largely a matter of
convenient arrangement. The handi-
est plan from this viewpoint is the
colony system. In this the houses
are moved to new locations as the
ground becomes sotled. If the chicken
house is stationary structure, it
should be built away from other
buildings, scrap-piles, fence corners,
ETC., so that the ground can be fre-
quently freshened by plowing and
sowing in oats, rye or rape. The
ground should be well sloped, so that
the water draining from the surface
may wash away much of the filth
that on level ground would accumu-
late Cleanliness indoors can be
simplified by proper arrangement.
Many poultry writer's give innumer-
able diseases and lists Of remedies
concerning which the average farm
poultryman needs no knowledge
whatever. There is very little def
niteIy known IN the subject of poul-
try diseases. Poultry ailments are
assignable to nne of the three follow
ing causes, or combination Of these:
First, hereditary or inborn weakness;
second, unfavorable conditions Of food,
surroundings, ETC.; third, germs or
animal parasites.

Any farmer is safe in breeding and
raising for sale large milking or but

there is. no more profitable line of
stock growing than raising good COWS
and selling them to the dairymen who
are making a specially Of producing
market milk or selling their milk to
condensary plants where they do not
have the by-product returned to their
farms to feed out to the calves that
are being raised to replace the cows
that are annually discarded from their

The keeping of more COWS for
creameries and cheese factories is also
encouraging and many men are willing

III. Teaching by parable wv. 6-10) "a
parable is an earthly story with a
heavenly meaning" Only the teacher
who can translate truth into terms Of
ut is like" has really begun to teach.
Let us beware, however, Of wrong
comparison and of to vivid details
This is not a picture Of God, only by
way Of contrast is he suggested. There
are three friends here: (D The needy
one in his journey; (2) the needy one
who was host, and (3) the needy one
who was a selfish neighbor. The pau
perism Of the second wall inexcusable
(Phil. 4:19); the wandering Of the
first at night time cannot go unchal-
Ienged Matt. 28:2O). AS for the
third, it was a most unreasonable hour
and his friends insistence was unrea-
sonable, yet, his insisteIIce emphasized
the urgency of the request and the con-
fidence of a friend.

Pedagogically considered this is the
application. Notice It Is introduced by
the word "foF" and the summary is the
sum and substance Of all good, the
Holy Spirit. Jesus contrasts bread,
that which preserves life, with stone,
which is dead and lifeless. He con-
trasts fish, one of the most common
meat foods, with a serpent, which sig
nifies deception, and an egg, which is
not only nutritious but reproductive
as well, with a scorpion, which has in
It the sting of death. Each promise is
predicted upon command (Jas. 4:2),,
ask, seek, knock. 4
