ScuIptor's Prophecx.

Suddenly, in the midst of his work.
Arnold R~onnebeck, who was designing
the decorations for municipal bridges
in Berlin, was overwhelmed by a
strange and unaccountable feeling of
sadness. 1t was not like n mood, but
rather like q deep shadow cast over
him and his work. He was under con-
tract to do the work, but he could not
keep at 1t. Finally he yielded to what
was for him a mysterious impulse, and
let his feelings have their way with
him. No one was more astonished
than he when he had finished, roughly
but with simple power, a figure of the
cruclied Christ and the mourning
women
He could not explain it. He wrote
to Il friend: II felt l had to do it. I
could find no other symbol to express
my sense of tragedy. But as soon as
1t was done l felt relief, and l an
working again."
Did the war fling the shadow of the
cross over the sensitive soul of the
artist, and was his mood born of the
inner knowledge hat there was to be
another crucifiXion, and that again
throughout the world there would be
women mourning at the foot of the
cross upon which humanity wa bleed.

Baalbec is the city of the sun. Here
the sun god vas worshiped thousands

great temple still stand, monstrous

too, the sun today still seems to smile

In the ruins of Baalbec you can
trace the rise and fall of almost every
creed that the neal East, rich in

~worshipers of Baal, whom the Israel
ties overthrow. Then came the Greeks

In plain terms Of the g%uidebooks,
Baalbec is a little Turkish village OF

lFATTEN W FOR MARKET
Big Gain Made by Two Weeks Prepa-
ration-Directions Given by New
York College.

A difference of 2 and frequently 8
cents per pound may be made by fat
ting broilers and fowls before putting
them on the market. A gain Of 25 cents
or more may be made by feeding half
fat fowls or chickens for two weeks.
The directions given by the poultry de-
partment of the New York agricultural
college are al follows:
Confne the birds in a small and
somewhat darkened pen, allowing
about two square feet for a mature
fowl and one square foot for young
chickens. Do not feed for the first "a
hours, then begin feeding rather scan
tily, increasing the amount gradually
until at the end of two or three days
they are getting all they will clean up
In about 20 minutes, when fed regu-
larry three times n day. This should
continue for about two weeks which is
ordinarily as long as the fowl can
stand such heavy feeding, and at which
time, if the fowls were healthy and in
q good range condition, they should be
full and plump along the keel and have
heavy, firm drumsticks mad thighs.
Three good fattening rations follow /:
First, 100 pounds corn meal, 100
pounds b%uckwheat middlings, or
ground buckwheat with hulls removed,
100 pounds red dog flour, 80 pounds
beef scrap, one pound charcoal.
Second, 100 pounds cornmeal, so

Third, 100 pounds oatmeal, 60
pounds wheat midd.ings, or red dog
flour, 20 pounds beef crap, half pound
charcoal.

they are raised must make them rank
high in the poultry line. They ma.

ing from 100 to $50 eggs each during
the season. The eggs are very large

In n of the suburbs of Boston is
a small but steadily growing duck

ducks for market, and has a steady de-
mand for all she can produce.
AS the ducks are nonsitters, the
eggs are Matched under hens and in
incubators, the period Of incubation
being % days. When the little duck
lings are Matched they are placed in
brooders, where they remain until
ready for the growing houses. The
young ducklings are very delicate, so
care must be taken to keep them warm
and free from chills. The first three
weeks are the most critical. Once
past that age the ducklings can be
safely counted upon for the market.
At six weeks the ducklings are
placed in the growing houses, where
they r pushed for market. The

This would mean that COCO crows entered the rooSt n minutes time and a
period Of A minutes was generally consumed before all had returned from their

the Arlington roost a headquarters for the season.
The Woodbridge roost, near Langdon, D. C, was used by crow or some
time, but the birds found another ro@t moret to their liking. The successor

of these birds coming TO this roosta and estimated that probably $500 or 1900

crows when strays and beiGted members were taken into consideration.
A few months later the row deserted this roost and returned to the Wood
ridge roost, where other crows Joined the original settlers the whole popula-

Counting these birds would be very confusing to a novice. ornthoOcists
are familiar with Two methods by mean If which they are able to count large
numbers BY on method the birds are counted in the evening as they fly
toward the roost in distinct lines and, n Il rule there are anywhere from three
to six air paths chosen. The other method is to wait until all the birds have
congregated for the night and then 70 choose a limited area of the roost count

Not Hurt Youngsters.

When rearing wild ducks and geese
the last joint of the wing, the joint
carrying the flight feathers, should be
cut off when the little ones are taken
from the nest. If one wing is cut that
will be sufficient and it will not hurt
the little ones If done at that time,
and will heal quicker. Care must be
taken, of course, that no dirt or germs
