GOOD GROUNDS FOR POULTRY
Low, Heavy Soils Make Industry Pre-
earious-Much Of Success Depends
on Warm, Dry, Sandy Loan.

There are people who will tell you
that any kind of ground will make
good poultry ground. 1t will not.
Chickens can live on tolerably barren
ground. but poultry success is not met
on ground too poor to bear vegetation.
Low, heavy soils make poultry rails.
ing precarious. The loss by disease
of many kinds in certain flocks can be
traced directly to the low ground upon
which they feed and run. Such soil
is damp and cold the greater part Of
the year.
The success of many q poultryman
is not always SO much due to his feed
and care as the warm, dry sandy loan
the fowls live on.
In buying ground upon which to
raise poultry look we'll to the ground
you buy. II 1t Is not ideal poultry

you can scarcely make 1t that except
at cost that eats up the profits fast.

sILo is QUITE ECONOMICAL
Of Green Corn Plant for Winter
Cattle Feeding.

The Indiana experiment station
gives the following practical reasons
why farmers who keep live stock
should build silo. Here they are:
The silo preserves the palatability
and succulence of the green corn
plant. ,=5a....i ...5.zs .,.
The silo increases the live stock ca
pacity of the farm.
Silage is a good summer feed when
pastures are short. nN se
Because of the small amount of
ground space required by the silo 1t
is an economical means of storing
forage.
The silo located near the feed man
ger is an assurance Of having feed
near at hand in stormy as well as
fair weather.
The silo assists IN reducing the cost
Of grains in fattening cattle and sheep.
Silage greatly increases the milk
flow during the winter season and
decreases the cost Of production.
There are no stalks to bother in
the manure when corn is put into silo.
All should understand that silage
Is not q complete or balanced ration.
1t is a succulent food and should be
supplemented with some balancing
dry feed.

deserts face. 1t seemed to lift his
spirit and to cradle 1t. Then he
breathed his prayers-they took form.
and in his sleep he repeated the Ave
Maria and the Paternoster, and the
words rolled and rolled over the
deserts face and the supplication
seemed to his feverish mind to mingle
with the stars. rs {lS .fa 1aait T.,
A sort of midnight dew fell upon
him: SO at least he thought, and 1t
seemed to him a heavenly dew and to
cover him like benignant rain. He
grew cooler. He prayed again, and
with his words there came to the
young man an ineffable sense OF peace.
He pillowed his fading thoughts upon
it; he pillowed his aching mind upon
1t and his body, too. and the pain Of
his wound and he thought aloud. with
only the night airs to hear him, In
broken sentences III this is death 1t
is not so bad. One should rather be
afraid Of life. This is not difficult, If
should ever get out of here l shall
not regret this night"
Toward morning he grew calmer, he
turned to speak to his little compan-
ion. In his troubled thoughts he had
forgotten Pitchoune.
Sabron family called him. There
was no response. Then the soldier
listened in silence. 1t was absolutely
unbroken. Not even the call of a
night bird-not even the cry of a n.y.
ena-nothing came to him but the in
articulate voice Of the desert. Great
and solemn awe crept up to him, crept
up to him like spirit and sat down
by his side. He felt his hands grow
cold, and his feet grow cold. Now, un-
able to speak aloud, there passed
through his mind that this, indeed, was
death, desertion absolute in the heart
of the plains. ......

nope tnat the mosque OF
Santa Sophia, the ecclesiastical gem
Of the Turkish capital, will be spared
It is to the Greek church what the
site of the Temple at Jerusalem is to
the Jew and, except for its possession
by strange religion, what st. Peters
is to the Catholic. The repossession
Of Santa Sophia represents the goal of
Russia's ambitions during several cen
turtles. Concerning this great church
edifice a writer for the National Geo
graphic society says: ,.,9 agi,,..o,,e, 81
Christianity has been productive of
many wonderful places of worship, Of
temples richer in treasure and more
beautiful in workmanship than those
which have grown out of any other
religion. Byzantine and Gothic archi-
lecture received their highest express
sion in sacred building, SO much SO in
the case of Gothic that the lay mind
confuses that architectural type with
pictures of the wonderful cathedrals
of France and Germany. Christian
temples are among the most wonder
full architectural accomplishments of
all times, and by far and away their
most Respondent example is Santa
Sophia, the Oldest, the most magnifi-
cent, the most costly and the most in
teresting of all Christian churches.
Santa Sophia has become an in
spiration to all of Greek Orthodox be-
lief who are fighting in the present
battles Of Europe. AS st. Peters Is
the mother-church for all the Catholic
world, SO Santa Sophia is the mother
church Of all of Greek faith. One is
the metropolitan of the East, the 9TH
er of the West, and both are the
grandest examples of architectural
splendor within their faiths. Both are
churches that cost almost fabulous
sums in the building, and Santa So
phia. cost almost twice as much as
st. Peters. or more than any temple
since history began for the Christian
world. 7s#. 4s
Built at Enormous Cost.
It Is estimated that Santa Sophia,
including the values of ground, mate
rial labor, ornaments and church uten-
sils. cost about 64,000,000, while the
common estimate Of the cost of St.
Peters, the chief present splendor of
the Eternal City, is placed at $48,000.-
600. No other temple has ever ap-
preached Santa Sophia in the variety
and preciousness of its marbles and
in its prodigal employment Of silver,
gold and precious stones.
The first church constructed upon
the site Of Santa Sophia was built at
the direction Of the first Christian en-

Great Work Done Speedily.
Europe, Asia and Africa contributed
of their resources and Of their historic
marble columns and panels that the
great cathedral might be unsurpassed
among the glories of earth. Some say
that the great work was finished in
the marvelously short time of ten
years, others are positive, even, that
1t was ready in six years. However
this may be, 1t required 100 years to
build st. Peters at Rome; IS years to
build st. Paul's in London; 500 years
to build the Milan cathedral and 615
years to build the Cathedral of
Cologne. There are millions Of the
Greek Orthodox faith who are looking
confidently forward to the day when
Santa Sophia will again be the princi.
pal cathedral of their worship.
A bewildering wealth Of legends
clusters around the old cathedral, now
defaced and mutilated as Turkish
mosque, and these legends throw q
veil of the supernatural around 1t.
One legend, which the Greeks like to
remember, is that of the bishop who
was celebrating mass as the wild Turk.

the church, and who escaped their
fanatic wrath by walking into a niche
made by the opening wall which again

Santa Sophia once more comes under
