year has averaged 2s5 eggs per hen.
It's eggs per hen being produced In
March.
The same whcatiess ration has been
fed since last November TO pen Of
Buzz Orpington pnllets. which have
laid fifty-three eggs per hen In TWEEN
~ weeks and hold the highest egg rec
ord OF any OF the large feeding pens OF
pullets at the farm this year. Two
other pens. however, are less than one
egg per hen behind this pen.
/ The ration used was as follows:
Scratch mixture. two pounds Of crack
ed corn and one pound Of oats. dry
mash. three pounds OF cornmeal and
one pound OF beef scrap.
The scrap mixture was fed sparing
ly so that the hens ate about equal
parts OF this mixture and of the dry
mash. The total grain consumption Of
feed for the year was fiffytwo pounds.
Of which twenty-six pounds was

By Edgar A. Gaestl
Re friend. You don't need money
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out TO one who's anbesriepded;
Jus. the will to give or lend,
This viii rake you someone's friend.
Be friend. You don't need glory.
Friendship is a simple story.
Pass by trif.ing errors biindly,
care ON homes, effort kindly,
Cheer the youth who's brsvely trying,
Pity him who's sadly signing;
Just little labor spend
On the duties OF friend.
Be friend. The pay 10 bigger
Though not written by hgurel
Than is earned by people clever
In. what's merely seIf-endeayor.
You'll have friends, instead OF neighoors.
For the profits OF your iahors;
YouIl be richer in the end
Than prince, IL you're . friend.

Experiencing God.

that, whether the process be named

is capable Of immediate experience Of

soul center or TN apex of soul"
which directly apprehends God. 1t 10

the experience are as sure that they

Dear Aunf Madge and Sisters:
We reached home safely that uight from
the reunion, in time to milk the cows and do
up the rest Of the chores for night. Our sup
per was little late, but we had all the better
appetites. After having such bountifui
dinner. one would hardly think We would
need any supper. but the ride over those long
hills home surely gave as good appetite for
supper. shali not soon forget Aug. a. II
was q damp dull day outside. but all sunshine
within. II was pleasant to meet with the old
members and to make the acquaintance OF
new ones. II 1t had been . pleasant day
should not have had the privilege OF going,
for my SON would have felt that he must stay
ct home and work on his nay.
hope that ali reached home safely that
night. and that Aunt Madge was not al 'sbeat
OUT looking after so many nieces.
With best wishes to all, ARE.
