Heating Up the Incubator.

Thursday evening I lit the lamp in

machine heated up and running
smoothly by Monday, when we plan to
start our first hatch. Unless the hens

than a hundred eggs for our first hatch.
We thought we had pretty good success
with the incubator last year. in view of
the fact that we were beginners, and
with the additional experience we hope
for still better matches this spring
Our first attempt of the present sea-

For Steadfast Peace.

God puts within our reach the pow
er of heipfulness, the ministry of pity; !;
he is ever ready to increase his grace
in our hearts, that as we live and act
among all the sorrows of the world
we may learn by slow degrees skill
and mystery of consolation. 'If ye
know these things. happy are ye If ye
do them" There Is no surer way of
steadfast peace in this world than the
active exercise of pity; no happier
temper of mind and work than the
lowly watching to see if we can lessen
any misery that is about us; nor is
there any better way of growth In

after him, Anaximander, by committing

seventh, was still period of origins.
1t saw the physical researches of Py-

Hecataeus. In the fifth century Greek
learning reached it's climax. This age
was resplendent with the names of

truth, this great teacher attempted. by
quiet and candid debate, to aid men to
make their concepts clear, and to give
words definite meanings, trusting that
through the correct use of the reason
they would arrive at a recognition Of
superiority Of right actions. The fourth
century was both an advance and a
decline. 1t comprised the work Of

capture of which he assisted. Then he was ap-

toned many times for his part in the conference

well educated, and speaks good English, having
been school teacher.
