BURN DEAD CHICKENS
Average Poultryman is Not Care
full About This Matter.
Good crematory Can Be Easily and
cheapIy Constructed Of Common
Cast Iron Box Stove--keep
Plant Clean as Possible.

Once again the poultry breeders
attention is called to the proper dis
posal of dead poultry. On all plants,
large and small, some fowls and
chicks die or must be killed on ac-
count of disease. The average poul-
tryman is not careful about the dis
posal of such dead birds, in fact he is
often criminally careless and negli-
gent.
On some plants dead birds and poul-
try offal from the killing and dressing
room, also, are dumped in the hog pen
or manure heap. On other plants such
carcass is buried from time to time
as convenient, and more often is left
lying about, an eyesore to visitors and
a menace to the health of all stock
on the plant, and the family as well.
Even when there is deep burial of
dead birds, and it is fairly prompt,
there is danger. Dogs and other four
footed animals dig up carriOn, no mat
ter how deeply buried, and scatter it
about the place. We generally find
remains of dead poultry kicked about
on the ground on every poultry plant
we visit, an exception to this rule be-
ing rare.
The remedy is simple and inexpen-
siye, says a writer in an exchange.
Cremate all dead fowls and offal
regularly and frequently. A small
brick and cement furnace for this
purpose can be built at a small cost
but a good crematory can be had
cheaper and easier than that. A COM
mon cast iron box stove or the cast
iron alright stove can be bought at
from 81 to So each and can be easily
and cheaply set up in any outbuild-
ing. Such stoves will burn anything
and do it quickly. All that you need
to look out for is to have a safe
chimney to safeguard against danger
of fire. A stove of this kind can be
used to burn anything that can be
made to burn, and is easily brought
into quick action with chips, corn
cobs or other similar materials.
Make up your mind that you will
not bury, or leave lying about the
premises, dead fowls or chicks, but
cremate them promptly. Clean up
the plant and keep it clean.

Uric Acid Poisoning?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present In
the joints, muscles, or nerves. By ex-
perimenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. z, DIR. Pierce discovered
combination of native remedies that he
called Anuric-which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and in this
way the pain, swelling and in1amma-
ton subside. If you are sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there, you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from the
pains and ills brought about by uric
acid; or send DIR. Pierce 10c for trial
pkg. Anuric which you will find many
times more potent than lithia and
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you.

The Living Gospel
Sermon by Rev. VIM. E Barton, DID,, at Union Church,
Sunday, March 26

Text: But now when Timotheus

ity, and that ye have good remem-
brance OF us always, desiring great

I Thes. SO.
Our interest in this passage Is in
stantly awakened when we know
that the phrase brought good It'd
ings," an expression which In our
translation requires both . verb
and a noun, is in the Greek the verb
"evangcfize'p-the WORD repeatedly
translated preach the gospel" This
is q singular. IL not unique use Of
a very familiar New Testament
term. What was the gospel which
Timothy had just been preaching TO
Paul9 II was the good news that
the converts in Thessalonica were
standing fast in their faith in God
and their love for Paul. He had
been anxious and distressed for fear
that they had forgotten him and his
message. He had been waiting in
Corinth in grave uncertainty and
with many misgivings. He had
even been in doubt in what form he
should present his message that IL
might win souls on European soil.
Now when Timothy came 10 him and
assured him that his converts were
faithful, he counted IL veritable
evangel "for now we live II ye stand
fast in the Lord"
II would be easy 10 dismiss this
verse with the trite remark that in
asmuch as the word here used was
applicable 10 any good news and on.
ly our specialized employment OF the
term in connection with the tidings
OF our Lord Jesus made that con-
notation the primary one for US, we
need not be surprised il occasionally
we found the word in its ordinary
and secular sense.

sionary journey, but still was vital
