Divinity in Man.

The most significant feature in the

something godlike in him. Whether
they shall take him to be god, to be a
prophet, or what they shall take him
to be, that is ever a grand question !;
by their way of answering that we
shall see, as through a little window
into the very heart of these mems spir-

great man, as he comes from the hand
of nature, is ever the same kind of

(By PROF. H L. KEMPSTER, Missouri
College Of Agriculture.)
Poultrymen everywhere have long
recognized the value of beef scraps
as food for the laying hen. Col
lege and experiment station men have
found By their tests that the use of
buttertst3k or sour milk reduces the
cos. n production per dozen of eggs
as compared with either beef scraps
or DO meat ration. Sour milk is cheap
err than beef scraps as it is on the
average farm. Mr.. w. r. Graham
tested three different breeds of chick
ems and reported that the use of
either buttermilk or beef scraps re-
duced the cost of egg production very
greatly. Mr.. A. G. Phillips found that
when no meat or other animal food
was fed to hens in their ration they
laid 81 eggs apiece while those which
received meat scraps laid 135 eggs
apiece and those that received
skim milk laid 1854 eggs apiece
many as those which received no ami
NAL food.
Tests With Feed.
In tests conducted with three %
bird pens, about two-thirds of the ra-
ton given to each pen consisted of a
scratch food made by mixing two parts
of corn and one part of wheat. The
remainder of the feed given to each
pen was mash made by mixing bran,
middlingS or shorts and cornmeal for
the no-meat pen, or the pen which re-
ceived no animal food whatever. The
sour-milk pen received the same mash
and all the sour milk the fowls want
ed, while the beef-serap pen received
the same mash with the addition of
beef scrap mixed with the mash.
The usual poultry yard method of
feelsng was followed, practically the
6nfy difference being in the protein
concentrate or the animal food given
to the hens. In the morning Il little
scratch feed was sprinkled in the
straw litter deep enough to make the
fowls scratch and take exercise. Wa
ter was placed in clean pals and a
pan of sour milk was given to the

quently given at the same time during
the winter. Two or three times a
week the fowls were made to eat more
of the mash by mixing the dry mash
with water or with milk in case of the
sour-milk pen. This wet mash was fed
at the rate of handful for every four
birds. At night the scratch feed was
given again and the birds were al
lowed to eat all they would in order
that they might go to roost with full

TRAINING 7ODAYS
BOYS AND GIRLS
Social Responsibility of the Home
Is important.
MUST FOLLOW GOLDEN RULE
We Cannot Let Our Pet Rules Con-
corning Our Own Children Inter-
fere With Other Parents Rules
Concerning Theirs.
BY slDoNIE M. eRuENRERG.

TETE ARE all good people. We never
w intend to do anything that is
wrong" We never seek to take adj
vantage of our neighbors in the slight
est way. We are therefore naturally
very resentful when the reformer COM
pares our conduct with that of people
who are not so good of people who
do seek advantages, of people whose
purposes are noe quite so lofty as our
own.
We understand the social RESPONSE
bilitieS of the home, and we are doing
our very best to train our children up
to be good citizens. And all the time
we are careful to mind our own bust
ness very strictly. We hope we know
what's right, and do not need to be
told.
This represents fairly the attitude
Of thousands of conscientious parents
Tho are making a sincere and single
minded effort to give their children
every opportunity and every induce
ment to become good citizens" And
it was one of these very parents that
suddenly reminded me how complex
and how difficult the task is.
You know how important it is for
the child to acquire correct habits
early in life; so we begin during the
third year to teach him to dress him.
self. And so long as there is plenty
of time in the morning, the child does
dress himself, more or less quickly
more or less presumably. But when
you send the child off to school or to
kindergarten, you discover all at once
that you are obliged to choose between
giving the child great deal of help in
his morning toilet and letting him be
late for school. OF course we could
all get up earlier in the morning; but
that is nuisance and a hardship on
the other members of the household.
Or we could hurry through the break
fast; but that is bad for the health
as well as for the manners. So you
sacrifice all the advantages of a couple
of years of patience and you help the
child on with his clothes. This may
even involve a compromise of your
principles" but you are heroic, and
you are going to get him into habits
of punctuality at any cost.
But Mrs. King stuck fast to her
principles, and would not sacrifice
anything. When Maude was at last
old enough to go to school, the mother
was confronted with the choice be-
tween doing for the child what she
thought the child should do for her.
being tardy. Mrs. King chose without
hesitation. And the following year
she was able to tell all who would
listen that Maude, obliged to dress

not be infected with "influenza' or
"children's Diseases" and we shall

modern conditions makes it impossible
for us to mind our own business" too
strictly, and makes the Golden Rule d

DISEASES OF POULTRY
Little Has Been Done to Find
Cures for Many Ailments.
Every PouItryman Should Have on
Hand Plentiful Supply of Per-
maneanate of Potash crys-
tails and EPSON Salts.

(By D. B. GREENBERG. Instructor in
Poultry Husbandry, New York State
School of Agriculture.)
The old adage ian ounce of preven-
ton Is worth pound of cure" is
nowhere more applicable than in the
case of diseases of domestic birds
So little has been done thus far by
scientists to find cures for the numer-
Gus ailments of fowls, that not very
many of them can be cured.
Our attention must then be directed
to the prevention of diseases, and in
most cases they can be avoided, if the
poultry man is only willing to take
the proper sanitary precautions. There
are two medicines, which every poul-
try man should always have on hand,
namely, permanganate of potash crys-
tails and Epson salts. The former is
now very expensive, due to the I'M
settled condition of the chemical mar
ket but so little of it is really needed
out it. The crystals can be bought
at any drug store. Do not buy it in
solutions, as you are then paying for
water.
Two tablespoonfuls of permanga-
nate of potash should be added to a
quart of warm water. Most of it will
dissolve, but a few crystals will re-
main at the bottom of the bottle. Use
this solution to color the drinking wa
ter of your birds, young and old, being
careful to shake solution well each
time before using. The drinking wa
ter should show Chartered color
against your hand thrust into the wa
ter. 1t is necessary to put your hand
In the water because presence of light
or shadow will make the water appear
20 be different shade than it really is.
Too much of this permanganated
water cannot be given to poultry.
Sick birds should receive no other wa
ter. The permanganate acts as a dis
infectant for the water and the diges-
tive organs OF. the fowls. 1t is also
good for healthy birds. In damp
