tain. Have small rope at each end
of the curtain with which to tie it up
when not in use.
The best medicine for roup is no
drafts and plenty of fresh air. When
you have an open side building care
should be taken to have the rest of the
building tight so there will be no drafts.
I have had very little trouble with colds
among my birds in the building where
/ have the muslin frame. When you
open tightly closed room filed with
birds you will find birds backs covered
with frost and their feathers will be
wet. This is caused by close breath
ing, which also causes brown combs.
You seldom find this condition when
muslin curtains are used, as bad air
escapes and neither does frost gather
on the birds. In making large cur
tain think canvas is better than mus
lin as it will stand the strain OF the
wind much better, but for a curtain
four or five feet by two feet muslin Is
all right.

M. E. Church Notes.
WALDREN GEACH, PASTOR
II, M, JOHNSON, SUPT.

A splendid congregation gathered at
the NJ. Z. church again last Sunday
morning to the delight OF the pastor
and church, still we find Sunday after
Sunday, that great number Of those
who constitute the backbone of the
church quite irregular in their
attendance. Ii every, family of the
church would be reasonably regular,
the two or three pews at the front
would soon be filled. The pastor is de-
lighted to find that many are more reg
ular in. their attendance than a few
months ago, but still disappointed in
others who come but once in two or
three weeks. Let us remember, how
ever, that our chief object in religious
worship, is not to please preacher,
but to glorify God, who has blessed us
beyond expression as people and a
nation.
We were glad last Sunday evening to
find SO many of our Methodist Protes-
tant friends with us in the evening
service their church being closed on
account of revival meetings at Cole.
rhe Sunday school went up to l31
last Sunday. Friends, don't miss any
of the services next Sunday. BE in
church aud Sunday school.
Next sunday morning at 10 o'clock,
the first of a series Of Lenten addresses
will be delivered. Don't fail to be
present. Come and hear the first
sermon.
The choir was out again in full force
last Sunday, and they expect to be next
Sunday.
The w. IL. M. 5. will meet with Mrs.
w. Ii. Palmer next Tuesday afternoon
at 2:30. Let every lady who is inter-
ested be present. Kindly invite some
prospective member to come with you.

FRESH AIR ESSENTIAL
IN POULTRY RAISING

make my muslin windows the same
as I would glass with the exception
of the crossbars in the sash, writes a
Nebraska correspondent of the 1nde-
pendent Farmer l cover the sash
with muslin and fasten sash to frame
with hinges, so that it. can be opened
during nice weather. But l keep the
window closed during windy or stormy
days and close the window at nights
during the cold weather.
I prefer the muslin window. Glass
gathers frost from the breath or the
birds and does not let In fresh air,
while the muslin does not let the
draft through, but permits fresh air to
come in and the bad air to escape and
still keeps the birds warm. l place
the hinges on my windows at the top
and allow them to drop down when
open, but they can be lifted when
opened and fastened by button.
1 believe fresh air is very essential
in poultry raising. Birds confined In
close places are the ones that take cold
easily and il allowed to run will de-
velop roup.

try house leave the south side open,
having a large muslin curtain to cover
the openings during the stormy wealth

aux arsedina Stock EARLY.

The old adage is "The early bird gets
the worm" In the poultry business the
early buyer gets the choice birds. The
late buyer viii necessarily have to
take what is left and In this way Will
lose money. Poultrymen know that it
does not cost a cent more to keep pure
bred stock than it does to keep scrubs.
Birds must be bred for size, quality
and laying strain. When pure bred
hen will outweigh common hen she
certainly is the one to keep.

Hens In Winter.

Where winter is rigorous get the
pullets and laying hens into their win
ter quarters early. Do not change
them from one place to another. Sep
arate the surplus roosters from them.
Do not get in and chase the whole
flock when you want a bird to use on
the table. Keep the house dry and
free from drafts, and the cold will not
do any damage. Keep the laying hens
feet dry. This means plenty OF litter
In the scratching shed, with plenty OF
work for her to do.
