built by any one who is handy with the

less cost than those of more complicated

chicks and after that can be employed

Der of winter layers. the size of the

to four square feet of floor space to
each fowl.
SOLVING BROODING QUESTION.
The brooding question can be solved
by knowing the number of chicks to be
reared and the systems depend largely
upon the number of chicks to be hatch
ed and reared. The outdoor brooder has
its use. especially during late spring
when weather conditions are apt to be
fine, but when the fact is taken into
consideration that when the artificial heat
is no longer required the growing chick :
must be quartered in the colony house,
| the economic proposition is in favor of
the indoor hrooder placed in the colony
house in which the chicks can grow to
maturity without change and in which
the operator can more easily attend to
| the chicks in bad weather. With the
colony house system they have more
| room and surely better ventilation Nov
! ices can depend on these systems to do
| good work If properly handled with the
! improved incubator. With the improve
ment in brooder construction and COM
mercial poultry houses now on the mar
ket, supplied as cheaply or more so than
| If homemade, there seems no good rea-
son for the beginner to resort to the
fussy hen as either a hatcher or a reareI
of future winter egg producers If the
| poultry-keeper has not solved the mys-
terry Of incubation tho day-old chick can
| be sent to his door in good shape, to be
| placed in the up-to-date brooder ant

CURED heat with plenty of ventilation in

accommodated until artificial heat is no
longer required
II IS a we'll known fact that brooder
chicks must sooner or later be taken
from the brooder house, the time de-
pending largely on the chick and time of
tho year. All brooder chicks, to do their
best. must be taken from the brooder
house to the colony system on free range

seek its own degree of heat 1t need not
be too warm or too cold. In the colony

Every Good Friday Has
Its Easter Morning."

Brattle boro, April 22.--After Bishop
Richard J. Cooke of Portland. Ore.
who is presiding at the Vermont state
Methodist conference, had finished his
address this morning he took occa sion
to say alphabetically that the CONFER
ence had set the time for opening the
morning sessions at $40 and that
members who came in 20 and 30 min
utes late had no more to do than had
the bishop who had to be present at
$50.
His address this morning was de-
voted to refuting the claims of cono-
clasts and agnostics that there is no
Christ. When they have separated
themselves from the beliefs of all flg e =
they have nothing, he said, nothing
has been gained, nothing made bright
err. no loads have been lifted and no
good done. They contend that no
miracles ever We're performed or
these would be performed now in hos
pitfalls where all could see them that
there would be no pain, sorrow or dis
ease.
Pain and sorrow bring love and peace.
There never was a Good Friday but an
Easter Sunday followed
At the business meeting ii was report
ed that official notice had been received
of the transfer of John r. Gates from
the East Central African mission and
Of Edward f. Wood, a probationer in the
second year of his studies. to the Yer

We're annually sent to England for the
best it produced in Cochin, Brahmas,
Dorkings and Indian games, which were
then the popular fowl These fowls were
gradually removed from their great popu-
larity by the very meiitorious American
breeds of poultry which were In popular
favor because of their dual purpose quail
ties of being good layers and good table
fowls at tho same time
The former golden stream was diverted
and almost stopped and English breeders
had lean years until the late William
Cook originated his now famous Orping-
tons Yhese possessed the merits of be-
ing great layers and good table fowl

dottes and Plymouth Rocks.

American money flowed to England for

escaping in the dense fog of St Georges
channel several German submarines
that were waiting to intercept their

An interesting development took place
| in Westford, the church accepting n gen
erous proposition to federate with the
CONGREGATIONAL Church The latter, be-
ing strong numerically and financially
and having a fine church ediflcc and a
good parsonage offered the use of the
church and parsonage and to pay $500
toward the support of resident Motho-
dist preacher. The little Methodist Church
there had been supplied several years and
the property was not in good condition.
The Methodist churches in Georgia and
st. Adams Bay have decided to unite
| in the support of a pastor who will live In
| Georgia.

erty in good condition is strong all over
the district The largest amount for
church improvement was raised at Enos-
burg Falls where the church steeple WAS
supplanted by a tower and other i'm
provcments, made at n cost of 1880. a
greater achievement, however, was the
