Good Incubator.

It may cost a few dollars more to
buy a good incubator to start with,
but the saving in eggs which are apt
to be spoiled in a poor machine will
more than make up the difference in
the cost during the first seasons run,
not to mention the time and work
wasted.

day. To be merely rich man, and
nothing more, no longer establishes
a persons position.
Sometimes God laughs at man.
This sort of spectacle arouses his
amused contempt, and he exclaims,
grimly, Thou foolish one!" Such
is the point Of the story which Jesus
told to illustrate the futility of
wealth's reliance upon wealth. A
rather blatant, puffed-up egotist,
who, like millions since, thought his
own merit had made the earth pro-
duce bountifully, strutted about COM
placently, spilling perpendicular pro-
nouns all over the landscape, and lay
ing out a boastful scheme for idle
ness, luxury and merrimeht. He had
got the better of the world; it was
at his feet; he would enjoy 1t at
his ease.
Thou foolish one! This night is
thy soul required Of thee!" Thus the
disconcerting verdict of God. He had
goods. which God asked not; but OF
soul. which God demanded he had
less than little. If he had put his
wealth into his soul, or into his fol-
lcwmen's souls. he might have had
something Oh IL showing 10 IFake
when he appeared before God's i,dg-
pent seat. Here we find the Scrip
tural original of Kipling's "Tomlin-
son." Was 1t Franklin who said

Is a spectacle which all good angels

tempt.

life and less money to our children
The old darkey slave who had eaten
his masters poultry made a philosu-
phic answer when he said, "Massa,
youse got less chicken, but youse
got more niger"
The choice between goods and God
Is going on forever. Jesus pointed
out the peril of property; 1t has a
tendency to blur or blind the spi--
itual vision. Would that we might
be consumed by such a hunger and
thirst after God Himself as would de-
liver us from all lesser ambitions.
G. H. Morrison tersely gives the rea-
son for this longing for God: 1--WE
do not crave for God because He is
glorious. We do not crave for God
just homesiclS, that Is the meaning OF
1t. We crave for God because He is
our home"
