Green Food Growers.

upon the raising of poultry profitably,
has the following to say on the sub
ject: 1T has seemed in studying the
birds in the fall of the year that the
change from the range to the laying
house, was an important one In the
life of the bird, and that the results
during the subsequent winter with ref
erence to egg production depended
much upon the way this transition
was made. 1t seemed advisable both
on general grounds and from observa.
ton of the birds themselves to make
this change as gradual as possible.
With this idea in mind the pullets
have been brought into the houses
from the range much earlier during
the past few years than was the GUS
tom beforehand the results have been
excellent. When the pullets are first
brought in it is not advisable to shut
them up entirely in the houses at
once. On the contrary, our work is
planned in such a way that there is
always freshly-seeded yard full of
green grass for the birds to run in
after they are brought into the house
until cold weather sets in. The fowls
are brought from free range into a
condition of restricted range, but with
better pasturage on the restricted
range than on the free range. The
yards are freshly seeded and have not
been trampled down or burned or
dried out by the sun, as Is the grass
on the open range from which the
birds are taken. In this way the at
tempt is made to have the transition
from the range conditions to house
conditions as gradual as possible.
After about two months of restricted
range, the birds are finally shut up in
a curtain front house for the winter.
The feed Of all adult birds, whether
pullets or not, consists of two essen
tial parts: (a) The whole or cracked
grains scattered in the litter, and (b),
the mixture of dry ground grains gen.
orally known as a dry mash. In addi-
ton to the grains and dry mash, oys-
ter shell, dry cracked bone, grit and
charcoal are kept in Slated troughs,
and are accessible at all times. Plen-
ty of clean water is furnished.
About five pounds of clover hay cut
into one-half inch lengths is fed dry
daily to each 100 birds in winter.

AS rule the habitual wrongdoer
bears little resentment toward the de-
tective who may have brought him to
justice. Neither is he always devoid
of blind belief In the workings of
Providence. One known to the pc.
lice as a chronic crook" met one of
the detectives who had on several oc-
casions unpleasant business with him.
How are you doing now, Tom?" ask
ed the detective. DOING" bitterly ex-
claimed the crook. You and your
pals have fairly bottled our business!"
We'll, how's the wife," asked the
man from the Yard, whereupon the
crook nearly broke down. The
missus," he said, died a month ago.
1t was near thing that the parish
didn't have to bury her, but with a
ring of heartfelt gratitude in his
voice. Providence was very good, for
1t sent along mug in the nick o time
and done him for 20 quid. We
was able to bury poor Liz quite de-
cent-like!'-Manchester Guardian.

HEAVIEST HORSE ON RECORD
Figures Show clydesdale Weighed
More Than Any Animal Of His
Kind Known to History.

The weight of the heaviest horse
ever known was 5000 pounds. This
horse, a Clydesdale, was exhibited in
New York in 1889. 1t was 21k hands
high and although only five years old
measured 80 inches round the arm,
45 inches round the stifle or knee
joint, IS inches girth. 341a round the
hip and IL feet four inches in length.
1t was of perfect proportions, with a
head IS inches in length. A French
authority gives the weight of horses
as follows: Excluding ponies, which
have an average weight of 440 pounds,
the weight of horses varies from $50
TO 1,540 pounds. The weight of cart
horses varies between LOO and 1,540
pounds. The weight of car and
coupe horses, which is about the same
as that of cavalry horses, varies be-
tween $50 and 1856 pounds. These
weights are for adult animals.

Empty Flat; 3, Oats Started to
Sprout; c, Oats Well Sprouted.

When the wheat, oats, and cracked
corn are given, the birds are always
ready and anxious for them, and they
scratch in the litter for the last kerr
mel before geing to the trough where
an abundance OF feed is In store The
hens like the broken and whole grains
better than the mixture of the fine,
dry materials. Yet they help them
selves to 1t, a mouthful or two at a
time, whenever they seem to need It,
There is a general unanimity of
opinion among poultrymen that the
fowls do best when some TORN Of
green or succulent food is given them
during the winter months.
In fact, 1t is an absolute necessity,
II best results are to be obtained. The
function Of green food is largely in
the nature OF digestive stimulant.
Green sprouted oats have been
widely used in recent years as a
green food for poultry and II is a
most excellent thing The oats are
fed when they are from four to six
inches in height, and are fed at the
rate OF a piece of the matted oats and
attached green stalks about six by
eight inches square for each 100 birds
per day.

EAST INDIA FUNERAL PYRE
Immolstion Of silent Figure While
Brother Looked on In
Bitter Grief.

Even as we came opposite the bear
ers lifted one OF them, all cool and
dripping from the river and set IT,
the slim, small figure, go quiet, 30
content, on a half-built pyre, G. r.
Benson writes In the Century. Brush
wood and fagots were built over II
and at the head and foot and sides
the fire was applied. A Brahman d.
rected the rites and once. as the
flames mounted and aspired, the
brother, who was watching, clutched
at his heart as there appeared for a
moment at the top OF the pyre a
girls face, with closed eyes and
mouth that seemed to smile; then the
radiant veil of fame shrouded II
again. The smoke rose in gray
whorls and streamers against the
stainless and tender blue OF the sky,
and still the brother watched, quiet
again and composed; he had given
only that one sign to show that he
loved her whose ashes now lay among
the charred and smoldering logs. Or
rather it was only for the moment
that, thinking OF days OF childhood
and dawns by the riverside, he forgot
that 1t was not she who had been
consumed in the flames of the pyre
Then he remembered again, and look
ing up from the pyre to the dazzling
river he saw there on our boat his
friend, the Brahman, and smiled to
him.

TEMPERANCE COMING.

In her stirring address before the
National w. c.. T. U. convention at
Asbury Park, N. j., and later speaking
before the house judiciary committee
in Washington, Mrs. Mary Harris Ar
NOR. the Georgia cyclone gave some
of the reasons why We may look for
"saloonless nation In 1920" We
quote:
81 believe that Jesus Christ meant
what he said and said what he meant
when he declared, All power is given
unto me in heaven and in EARTH and /
helieye that the God who made the
sun stand still on Gideon. and the
moon on Ajalon, at the cry of his
fighting. praying. believing servant,
Joshua. is perfectly able TO smash the
Iiouor traffic into everlasting smither-
Gems. whenever we get ready.
"'The old order changes, giving
mace to new, and God fulfills himself
In many ways He has promised the
destruction OF the liquor traffic In these,
words Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down and
cast into the fire. Certainly no man
would say that the liquor traffic brings
forth good fruit; hence the liquor
traffic must 60
zone of the ways in which God is
fulfilling this promise is through his
eternal truth in science. King Alec
hol has marched down the ages for
these thousands Of years, conquering
and TO conquer, until the centuries
sob with a ceaseless SORROW but at
last science has burst the blood-rust-
ed chain that bound her for thou
sand years, has seized the shining two.
edged sword of Gods eternal truth,
and challenges the monster to mortal
combat. To doubt the issue is to doubt
the sanity of the human race and the
power of the everlasting God.
Il believe we shall have a saloonless
nation in 1920, because public senti-
ment is opposed to the liquor traffic.
The persistent education along scien.
uGc temperance lines, instituted by
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union years ago, is bearing fruit today
in mighty army OF young men and
young women in the various religious
and philanthropic organizations in
our schools and colleges, and even in
the halls of congress.
The liquor traffic is doomed to
speedy destruction because it is OPP
posed to common sense. Hasn't II al
ways been opposed TO common sense?
Yes, but people have not been eXer-
cising their common sense In this dt
rection until comparatively recent
years, for two reasons First, be-
cause Gods eternal truth in science
had not been revealed on this ques.
ton as it is today; second. the world
is better today than ever before. and
the public mind is obsessed with the
idea of the preservation and prolonga'
ton of human life. Eugenics is the
most popular fad Of the day City,
state. and national governments are
looking after the health OF the people
as never before. They swat the fly,
they go on still hunt for the mos
quito, they beard the hookworm in his
den. and the germs must fly for their
lives. The human race has learned
that no man liveth to himself and no
man dieth to himself and reforma-
ton is the watchword of the hour:
hence. men are training their common
sense on this question, and the liquor
traffic must CO."
