SUBSTITUTE FOR GAME BIRDS
Flesh Of Guinea Has oamy Flavor
and 10. Gaining Popularity In Some
Of Eastern Cities.

The flesh of the guinea has a gamJ
flavor and is coming into use as 8
substitute for game birds in some o.
the eastern cities. The young guinea
two-pound size, is quoted by SOM
commission merchants at from As to
so cents each. while old guipeas are
quoted on the same market at p
cents each. Guinea eggs sell at thu
same price as hen eggs and have TIKI
advantage Of having much thicker

pounds from first year paintings to Q
little less than 20 pounds for subse.
quent years. The average price OF
thymol for a number of years prior to
the European war was about 81 9
pound.
The cost of producing the thymol
will depend to a great measure upon
whether the horsemint is grown in
connection with other oil-yielding
plants for which q distilling appara-
tus is maintained. Unless this is
done. it is said. it is not probable
that the profits will be sufficient to
warrant anyone engaging in the in
dustry. Excluding such items as land
rent, taxes, depreciation, upkeep and
interest on the distilling plant, it is
estimated that thymol can be pro-
duced at an approximate cost of $23
per acre the first year, and $40 per
acre thereafter. These figures include
the growing of the plants. fertiliza-
ton, cultivation, harvesting and dis
tilling. A plantation of horsemint
will not have to be replanted oftener
than once in five years at the most,
and by returning the distilled herb
to the soil, q material reduction in
cost, of fertilization can be made after
the first year.
Fuller information In regard to
methods of cultivation, harvesting
and distilling are contained in Bull
letin 372 which has already been men,
toned.

LIBERAL FEED AFTER HATCH
Hen Should Be Encouraged to Remain
on Nest With Chicks for First
Forty.Eight Hours.

It is a good plan to see that tn.
hen is fed very literally immediatel!
after Matching, as it will tend to keel
her quiet and brood the little one'
very closely the first 4S hours. d.
not allow her to start on through TIL,
meadow or plowed field stringing thu
little ones after her to become lost Of
injured, when a little feed, such a.
whole corn, fed Immediately after tn,
hatch is over, will retain her ON thu

they have been developing this type OF
road, although some of the roads have
been down more than seven years.
Every mile of durable roads laid is
cutting down the cost of upkeep. Last
year the commissioners had As miles
more roadway to care for than the
year before, yet they spent $5,178 less
for maintenance, Notwithstanding they
have supervision over 1,245 miles Of
other types of road. such as macadam
and gravel, outside of incorporated
cities and villages.
1t is estimated that 30 per cent of
the traffic in the county is carried on
20 per cent Of the road mileage and
that concrete construction should be
continued until there are about $50
miles of such roads.

nifty enterprise, as Is done with peas,
potatoes, apples, alfalfa, ETC., it is not
wise to depart from it.
Always try just a little Of anything
new-a quarter acre, q half acre. OF
even an acre. Give it just average
ground-it is better right alongside
the standard crop. Don't baby 1t.
Make 1t prove its. worth, If 1t has any.

fail. But a little experiment now and
then is selished by successful men.

When a piece of permanent road Is
finished it is a. big mistake to let It
60 without frequent attention. It be-
gins at once to deteriorate through
wear and weather, and If neglected It
will be only q few years before 1t will

Good Lord, this day is near its close
Now may sweet sleep mine eyelids close
And wake tomorrow, fresh and bright,
To do Thy will with all my might.
Who art thou Lord? To whom we pray
Asking forgiveness day by day.
For sins that we have all committed
During the day to be remitted.
Art thou Deity enthroned on high,
Midst sun and moon in starry sky?
Or dost thou dwell upon this earth,
Midst mortal sin and joyful mirth?
God; thou art spirit truth and love,
Thou dwell'st in us and not above;
In US a tabernacle thou has built
To guard and shield us from all guilt.
We are Thy children, one and all,
Aud with Thy guidance none can fall.
Love is Thee, made manifest,
To do Thy will is to be blest.
Grant Lord, we live Christ life here
And shoulder his burden without fear
For life everlasting is our goal,
Death comes as Joy to yearning soul
