BOTTLE FOR THE CHICKENS
Keeps Drinking Water for Poultry
Warm in Winter anu Cool and
Refreshing in Summer,

A new drinking fountain for fowls
is made on the principle Of the Their
mos bottle, and by its use the water
supply in the barnyard is kept cool
in summer and reasonably warm in
winter. This solves one OF the great
difficulties of the chicken yard. In the
winter time il is necessary 10 visit the
chicken yard many times during the
dav TO supply water III the birds, for the
reason that the usual reccptacles made
use Of soon freeze up tight and the
chickens are deprived of water. One
might think that by placing warm wa
ter there II would remain in n liquid
condition for n greater length OF time.
but this has proved 10 he a fallacy. for
il is said that for some reason the
heated water cools of and congeals

is the trouble of the water becoming

Winter is a critical time for sheep.
The greatest danger Is in close sta

straw, and with an abundance of pure
water to drink, an open shed with an
uncovered. dry yard attached, is bet
ter than any stable or tightly closed
shed. Warmth is more injurious than
cold. and sheep may safely be trusted
to exercise their instincts in seeking
shelter. 1t is well to divide the flock,
making three divisions: rams, wethers
and ram lambs in n flock. ewes IN
lamb in another and fattening sheep
In another. AS changes may be seen
desirable they should be made, and the
food should be given according to the
wants OF each lot.
II is a good plan to give all sheep
a little grain every day in winter.
Give fattening sheep M pound OF
corn per head per day. An expert
feeder. who has been feeding sheep
for a number Of years, says: THE
mar who makes a success in feeding
sheep or meat cattle Is the n who

this purpose should be three or four

selves without inconvenience either to
themselves or to the SOW. We prefer
feeding the small pigs and in fact all
our hogs in either iron or concrete
troughs. with round bottoms. V,
shaped troughs can also be used.
Fences play a very important part
in hog raising. A poor fence viii pro.
duce a breachy hog as quickly as IL
will a fence-breaking cow. We prefer
any strong close woyen.wire fence at
least So inches high for the outside
fence. In smaller lots either woven
wire Or wooden fences temporarily
placed will be cheaper and can be used
a number of times. Temporary fences
need not be over three feet high and
should be so constructed that they a
be carefully stored when not in use.
Woven wire used as temporary fence
Is very difficult to stretch after 1t has
been used several times, although it
can be used to advantage when lumber
and help are not plentiful.
In planting forage crops ii is an
advantage to plant in long narrow
strips SO that the temporary fences
can be placed across the narrow part
Of the field. !. is also an advantage
to arrange the crops so that one sec
ton is in such alignment with the
other sections that the cultivation
may be done without turning at the
end Of each section, and when the
crops are laid by the temporary fence
can separate one crop from another.
When plans are made TO establish
hog pastures one must not forget the
very important factor Of providing
good. pure water for them. In sec.
tons where running water cannot be
secured through pipes, IT can be
hauled in barrels. Many hog raisers

In Loving Remembrance of
Mrs. c.. w. Freeman

IT'S finished! The conflict is past,
The heaven-horn spirit is fled;
Her wish is accomplished at last,
And now she's entombed with the dead
The months OF affection are DER,
The days and nights of distress,
We see her in anguish no more, -
She's gained her happy release.
No sickness, nor sorrow, nor pain,
Shall ever disquiet her now,
For death TO her spirit was gain,
Since Christ was her life when below,
Her soul has nov taken its fight
To mansions OF glory above,
To mingle with angels OF light,
And dwell in the kingdom of love.
The victory now is obtained,
She's gone her dear Saviour to see;
Her wishes she fully has gained,
She's now where she longed to be.
Then let us fOrbear TO complain
That she has o gone from our sight;
We soon shall behold her again,
With new and redoubled delight.
Why should vex my heart, or fast?
No o she'll visit me;
My soul will mount to her at last,
And there my loved one see.
Then let our mournful tears be dry,
Or in a gentle measure flow;
We hail her happy in the sky.
And joyful wait our call to go.

HELD IN TRUST

The magnet city, had attracted
Joel Benson with it's bright lights and
glowing destinations, only to cast him
away when his little store of money
was gone. He was too proud to let
his friends back in the little country
village he had left-and for which
he now longed-know of his condi-
ton. Practically, he had become a
tramp.
Poor clothes shut him out from de-
cent employment. Poor food began
to show its effects. Just off quiet
street, where a paved alley held a
broad-topped ash bin, wearied and
discouraged, he had stretched out to
try to forget hunger in sleep.
Once he awoke. 1t was at the echo
of a cry for help. In his sodden slum-
Der, however, he treated it as part of
his dream and never opened his eyes.
Early daylight aroused him. No one
was astir but himself, it seemed. He
yawned, rubbed his eyes and mechan-
ically glanced about him.
''Hello!" he calculated, and went
over to where a mans hat lay. Then
he noticed that it's top was stove in,
and near it was piece of lead pipe.
He shivered and turned to hurry
away. The implication was irresisti-

briskly to make clear of his suspicious
environment.
"Hello!" he uttered a second time,
and now his eyes snapped eagerly and
hope succeeded fear.
For few feet away from the hat
lay a fiat, bulky case. 1t was half

the case there flashed up at him
dozen rare gems, radiant diamonds,
opaline pearls in rich heavy gold set
tings. Breathlessly Joel opened the
opposite section, to draw out folded
banknote-
One thousand dollars!
His fingers tingled. Like Cinder-
ella touched by the fairy wand he
seemed suddenly to be arrayed in rich
raiment, to be riding in a handsome

Then suddenly Joel thrust the
tempting case out of sight into an in.

spiration stood in icy drops on his
forehead. The intense excitement of
the moment made his steps unsteady

MORE JOBLESS THAN
EVER, REPORT SHOWS
100000 More Out Of Work in
New York Than a Year Ago,
Is Claim.

NEW YORK. Feb. s.-The seriousness
Of the unemployment situation here is
outlined graphically in the ffrst report
Of the mayors unemployment commit
tee, OF which Ebert II. Gary is chair
man. 1t is estimated that In December
last there were 100000 more persons out
OF work than were idle in December.
1918. About III per cent Of those normal
ly employed are now without work. ac-
cording to calculations based on the
facts existing In almost 10000 represent
ative families.
Other phases Of the unemployment
problem Judge Gary took up in his
report and found to be encouraging The
growing opportunities for the jobless
in the new workshops, the movement
TO quicken the building trade SO that
more structures can be put up and more
artisans set to work--these he dwelt
upon hopefully But the inquiry by
volunteer Investigators In the direction
of finding out whether the retail store
keepers are extending credit to their
customers who are out of work did not
af1ord ground for optimism.
The cheaper lodging houses were
visited. together with all the public
