We are confident that the resump-
ton of the aims and future develop
ment of Christian democracy can be
enlivened in no better way than by
program similar to that of the A.. F.

erations enumerated in the. resolutions
are the Christian claims of charity,
which though they be submerged to-
day, must again be brought to the
surface and enthroned in the hearts
of men.

The Georgia Sunday School associa-
ton is indeed fortunate this year in
having secured Mr.. John L. Alexander,
of Chicago, secondary division superin-
tendent of the International Sunday
School association for the state con-
vention program in Americas. He is a
stranger to most of the workers, as
he has never attended one of the Geor-
gia state conventions before.
Mr.. Alexander has come to be rec
ognized as one of the experts of the
world in organizing work for boys
and girls along sane and efficient
lines. He was for several years in
charge of the boys department of
the Y. NJ. c. A. of Philadelphia, and
by his original and efficient methods
made distinct impression upon the
lives of the boys of that great city
by reaching them through their
school and athletic interests.
Such genius for the work or organ
ization indicated his fitness for the
larger work of the boy scout move
ment, and when General Baden-Powell
came from England to set up this
work in America Mr.. Alexander was
the unanimous selection of the COM

Work for Boys and Girls.

MIR. Alexander is giving his atten-
ton at present to developing the boy
and girl work of the teen ages of the
Sunday school and is using all the ex-
perience gained by his contact with
the great national boy and girl orders
to this end. Books and leaflets have
been written by him for this purpose,
and under the auspices of The Inter
national Sunday School association he
is reaching parents, public school and
Sunday school teachers with methods
and principles for the better under
standing of youth. Since leaving col
lege he has touched teen-age life at
every point, and his practical expert
ence is now at the service of the
church or Sunday school.

able genius and after a thorough test
of the effectiveness of various organi

conclusion that to be permanent in
their results they should be under the
direction and control of local church.
He strongly approves the activities
and interests which are promoted by
the Boy Scout movement and kindred
organizations, but he contends that
these activities can be made a part
of the work of every well-organized
Sunday school class, and thus the
work will be properly related to the

Ability is Recognized.


When the committee of Christian
business men met in New York to or
ganize the movement popularity known
as the Men and Religion campaign it
was necessary to send groups of train
ed workers to address the conferences
held in leading cities of this country
as to the special activities in which
Christian men should engage. Natur-
ally the department of Work for
Boys" was gwen outstanding empha-
sis, and that the suggestions might
be based upon tested methods, Mr..
Alexander was asked to become
member of the group of speakers that
visited the largest cities of America.

Heroic Savers of Life.

If one could behold the scope of the
work of the life-savers in single
glance he could see that these 1000
men meet at a thousand stations ON
dark and lonely shores and exchange
brass checks and bring these brass
checks with them on their return to
their life stations as evidence that
they had patrolled the coast. Never
has one of these faithful servants
failed to come back promptly with the
check of the patrol, unless he was
halted by case Of distress and even
then his fellow patrol unless he was
halted by a case of distress and even
then his fellow patrol comes on to
meet him. Scores Of men give Their
lives to the devouring sea to save life
and millions of property. There are
now 290 stations on the sea and lake
coasts of the United States. There are
men in the service that have saved
as many as 800 lives and literally ev-
cry man in the service has been all
actor in one or more of its 10000 hero
stories. In 1912 rescue service was
rendered to 1911 vessels, carrying g.
800 passengers, the total IAlue of these
vessels and their cargoes being $11.-

II the practice of successful poultry
men is any evidence, the best way
to advertise poultry products is to de
liver the goods the greatest

hardy chicks in your territory.

the following suggestion;
Have your poultry houses and runs
in full sight of the road so that pas
sersby may see what you really have,
Invite customers to make an inspec-
ton tour of the place. Show them
that you have the cleanest houses
and the most sanitary packing rooms
possible. Show them that you are
proud of your flock and your ability
TO give people the best of everything.
I'm order to get customers you must
let people know which chickens and
eggs are yours. To do this you must
have a trademark which stands for
quality and your personal guaranty.

CBy II. NJ. COTTRELLN

Native pasture and silage should be
available summer and winter. The
silage should be fed generously al
any time of the year when the grass
is not sufficient to secure a high yield
of milk. In dry times during the
summer and at all times during the
winter. sorghum hay and the hay from
either alfalfa, sweet clover or Span
ish peanuts should be fed literally.
Rye pasture usually can be provided
and it makes good winter feed. In
favorable years wheat pasture may
furnish nearly alf the feed needed
for high yield during the winter.
Five good cows fed all they will eat
will yield more profit than Is half
starved.
The daily ration must be balanced
between the starchy, Matchmaking
feeds, like silage, sorghum hay, corn
fodder and millet, and the blood-and-
muscle making feeds like alfalfa,

milk on green, luscious grass. The

An old-time theory said that hens
without the attention of a male would
lay as well, but not be SO apt to be-
come broody as those mated. Our rec
ords show they will lay as we'll, but
minated focks are not broody proof
by any means. The past season our
minated birds, with few exceptions,
became broody first, while two-year-old
hens we're the last to show any signs.

Tao on Each Fowl.

trade of its own, provided the goods

SIMPLE Bit GOOD
POULTRY REMEDIES

1t is far more profitable to becom,

cure. 1t is well to doctor the early
stages of sickness, and thereby avot
serious ailments. But when it comes
to the contagious diseases like rouI
and cholera, we are strongly in the be
lief that they cannot be cured.
We may apparently cure these all
ments, but the germs of the disease
can never be eradicated from the
body. When such birds are used for
breeding purposes, they have but one
result-a generation of sickly, poor
ly constituted offspring.
Here are a few simple remedies
for early stages, which 1t might be
we'll to remember
For bumble-foot. paint the corn lib
orally with tincture Of iodine daily
for a week. If this is done in the
early stages. the corn can be spread.
For canker three applications Of
fine salt rubbed on the sore spots
has been reported as an excellent
remedy.
For catarrh, four drops of aconite
in a half-pint of drinking water Is rec
commended Creolin, one part to one
hundred parts of water, has also been
known to cure; boric acid, 20 grains
to one ounce of water or listerine,
one part to ten parts of water, are
also safe remedies.
For chicken-pox, paint the head and
wattles, with vaseline, after first hav-
ing bathed we'll with hot water. At
night, give one-grain quinine pill.
Repeat treatment each night for
week.
For colds, a one-grain quinine pill
each night for three nights or week
until cured 2. Prepare mixture of
one tablespoonful Of a good family
liniment, one teaspoonful of spirits Of
turpentine, and four tablespoonful
of water When using, warm slightly
and shake well before using. Inject
two to four drops in the nostrils.
For costiveness, ten drops of sui
phate of magnesia to each pint Of
drinking water.
For crop troubles, enlarged or sour
crop, add about half a teaspoonful
of baking soda to quart of drinking
water daily for a few days, during
which time feed sparingly. For crop
bound, Powell says he has cured bad
cases by making afflicted birds swal-
low all the warm coffee that could be
forced into its crop. Repeat the dose
several times.
For debility, an English remedy is
a raw new-laid egg every morning
until the fowl begins to recover. Then
change to a little cooked meat, and
add a little muriate of iron to the
drinking water. 2. When the writer
has a fowl that Is moping, he gives
a family liver pill each night for
three nights in succession. Also
gives the bird a free range over .
grass plot.
For diarrhea, slight cases, a few
drops of spirits of camphor in the
drinking water. 2. A halfteaspoon-
full of paregoric daily. g. Give tea
