Meaning of the Colors.

How many people can tell what is
the significance in their entirety of
the red, white and blue of the
American flag, the national colors?
1t is. of course, generally under
stood that one star represents each
state included in the Union and
that the first flag contained Is stars,
representing l3 original states. The
designers of the American emblem
had intended that the red stripes
represent the blood-shed necessary
to establish us as a nation. The
white is indicative of the purity:ot
our constitution and our form of
government. The blue is SYMBOL
cal Of the clear dome of hea~en,
wherein are set the stars of the
Union and under which all peoples,
regardless of race, color or religion,
may breathe the air Of freedom. 1t
is the unconquerable flag of the
world.-Elizabeth Gregg.

FIX CHICKENS FOR MARKETS
Best to Dry Pick Where Shipment ls
Long Dstance-Seil Scalded
Fowls Near Home.

Dressed poultry for long-distance
shipments had best be dry-picked, but
for nearby markets or home consump-
ton scalding is perfectly proper. In
fact, scalded birds sell best to home
trade.
The water must be as near the boil
ing point as possible, without boiling.
Care must be taken in scalding. The
legs should first be dry-picked, so that
1t will be necessary to immerse them
in hot water, which would change their
color and cause them to lose their
brightness. Neither the head nor the
feet should touch water. If the head
Is allowed to get in hot water it Will
present a sickly appearance.
The market generally accepts fowls
that are either scalded or dry-picked,
with the exception Of broilers; with
the latter, dry-picking alone is allow
able. Scalding also increases the tend.
ency to decay. 1t is claimed that scald-
ed fat fowls do not cook so well as If
dry-picled.

PROFITS IN EGGS PRODUCTION
Experimental Results at Indiana Sta.
tion Show That There Is Money
in the Business.

Considerable attention has been
given to the present lack Of profit in
egg production. But data gathered by
the Purdue Experiment station show
that there has been good profit dur
ing the past year, despite the high
prices of feeds.
Experimental results at that station
have shown that it takes six pounds OF
mixed feeds to produce q dozen eggs
on the farm. On this basis, with local
grain prices, it cost 96 cents for feed
to produce a dozen eggs in 1915
9.3 cents in 1856, and 1871 cents in
1861. During the same periods the
average income per dozen eggs was
ISL cents 2O2 cents and 30.4 cents re-
spectively. This means a profit over
feed cost Of S.5 cents in the first-named
period; 109 cents in the second, and
14.6 cents in the third, or during the
past year.
Doesn't it look like there's still
profit in producing eggs on the farm?

Walking With GOD
0my Those Redeemed by the
Blood of Christ Can Enjoy
That Privilege.

This has been the uppermost topic
In my mind, and my constant medita-
ton, and the theme of several Bible
studies, during these past summer
days. and I can think Of nothing so
glorious while we sojourn in these NOR
tai bodies. Such q life is the privilege
of every true believer, and gives fore
taste Of heaven even here on earth.
We cannot begin this walk, this heav-
enly life, till we are redeemed for the
spirit through Micah, when he eXhorts
to do Justly, love mercy and humble
ourselves to walk with God, is speak
ing to those who had been redeemed,
Micah GA, s. 1t is impossible for
those who are not redeemed by the
precious blood Of Jesus Christ, as
Israel was saved from death by the
blood Of the Passover lamb in Egypt,
to walk one step with God. 1t Is the
height of folly and unbelief to think
or talk Of serving God, or worshiping
him, or holding communion with him,
unless we have been born from above
and become children Of God by faith
in Christ Jesus. The sad thing is that
so few Of his redeemed ones seem TO
want to walk with him, for 1t Is so
costly, and the way is so narrow, yet he
is ever looking and longing for such,
that he may show himself strong on
their behalf, and be glorifed in them'

now TO LOVE IN GODS WAY
The Infinite Everlasting Never Failing
Love of God Is Our Perfect
Pattern.

Love that depends on circumstances
is not love. Love that grows deeper
and better under the loved ones re-
sponse is not love. Perfect love, SO
perfect that it cannot be improved up
on, alone Is real love. God loves US
with that unimprovably perfect love I;
and we can love others with the same
love. To have Gods own actual life
as our literal life is the secret; ana
Gods perfect love offers to us his only
son Christ, who is God, to be not only
our Savior but our life and our love.
When we accept Gods gift in entire
faith in him, then "God abideth in u.s.
and his love is perfected in US" Il
John 4:12). b. G. Guinness has de-
scribed this perfect and perfected
love: "There is therefore love which
Is infinite in its measure! There Is q
love which is everlasting in its dura-
ton; which is omnipotent In its power,
which is Interchangeable in its character,
which is all pervadlng in its presence
which passeth knowledge! There is n
love which has creation for its theater,
earth for its footstool, Heaven for its
chief abode, its everlasting home! OF
all created love it is the source, and or
all blessings it is the giver!" And it Is
with exactly this supernatural love
that God asks and enables us to love
others,--"because as he is, even so are
we in this world" II John 4:1T.-S.

Early Destruction of Stalks Destroys
Food cf Insects and Their Hi
bernating Places.

In all cotton sections where the boil
weevil is present farmers should gath
er the cotton crop as rapidly as possi-
BILE In order that the fields may be
cleaned up and the stalks destroyed.
Early destruction Of stalks serves two
purposes-it destroys the food of the
fall crop Of weevils and it destroys
the alternating places. Where posi-
BILE cut the stalks after the crop is
harvested and plow them under, max
ing sure to cover all the stalks COM
pletely. If the farmer has not suffi-
cient team power to do this the safest
plan is to burn the stalks.

been culled, and you know to be good
stuff, will bring larger returns in the
end.
It is very important to look after
the ages Of the fowls to be mated. AS
q rule cockerels are mated to hens,
and cocks to pullets. This is all right,
yet one can get good results by mat
ing fowls of the same age, provided
they are we'll matured. 1t is never
advisable to mate pullets with cock
erels. A male bird two years Of age
is best.
Twelve to II hens should be mated
with one male for best results. 1t is
sometimes the case that male may
be mated with larger number Of hens
with good results, but it is risky to
experiment.
You should be sure that you have a
good male bird at the head of your
flock. IF the male is strong and Wig
orous at all times, you will at least,
be half certain Of strong eggs for
Matching.

cANKER INDICATIVE OF COLD
Also Results From Injuries Received
Fightins-?Ian for Treatment
Outlined.

While canker is usually Indicative OF
cold, it is also the result OF injury.
When male birds have -een fighting,
cankers are likely to form from injury
to the mouth. Germs get rooted in
these wounds and set up ulcerating
sores. Digestive disorders will cause
canker. Look to the diet of birds that
are affected; clean out the cankers
and Apply pure soda, or creolin, if at
hand. Make q swab of cotton on q
toothpick, and touch every spot of the
sore. Peroxide Of hydrogen, diluted
with an equal amount of water, will
cleanse. The sore should then be
touched with carbolized vaseline.

FEEDS FOR DAIRYING
High Prices Cause Farmers and
Owners to Hesitate.
kafir, slIage and Alfalfa Hay Make
Nearly Balanced Ration for Cows
Grain Needed for Heavy
Milk Producers.

(By A. C. BAER, Department Of Dairy
ing, Oklahoma A. and M. College, Still
water.)
Farmers and owners Of dairy COWS
are lamenting over the high price Of
feeds, and are wondering If there Is
any profit in dairying under these con-
dltions. The farmer cannot do any
thing more patriotic than to keep the
COWS. The nation and the state need
dairy products-the best of all foods.
Cows can be profitably kept even at
present high prices of feeds. kaflr,
silage and alfalfa hay make nearly
balanced ration for dairy COWS. One
ton of alfalfa hay per COW, along with
good silage, should keep her in milk
flow until the pastures are again avail
able.
Many dairymen are grinding up al
falfa hay and feeding it instead Of
bran.
Heavy milk producers should have
some grain. but COWS can be fed less
grain If some form Of legume hay Is
provided.
National necessity requires that milk
production must be maintained or the
necessary food for our nation will not
be available.
The prices received by farmers for
butterfat and milk are comparatively
as high as the price Of feed, and dairy
ing is almost as profitable as it ever
has been.
Dairying, or the keeping of COWS, has
many advantages to the farmer. 1t af-
fords steady cash income throughout
the wear, and it keeps all labor on the
farm profitably employed. 1t enables
the farmer to utilize much rough feed
material which otherwise would find
NJ; market. Dairying helps to provide
manure for other crops. Most of the
talk about dairying not being profit
able at present prices Of feed is net
based on fact.
Dairy farmers should prepare to
grow their own cow feeds. Plant al
falfa or cowpeas or soy beans. Build
q silo and fill 1t with corn or kalr, and
the feeding problem is solved. High
priced grains need not be fed in large
quantities.

1t may not be possible to tell when

be impossible unless records are kept
But no chances should be taken on

KING BASE BALL YIELDS
1OVOLLEYBALL IN CAMP
Popularity OF voIIey Ball Among Sol
diers Surprises All Old Base
ball Fans.

What are the favorite games with
the soldiers in training camps in the
southeastern division? The immediate
response would naturally be baseball.
However, this is not correct, according
to the latest statistical report com.
piled by R. C. Cubbon, Army Y. M. c.
A. physical director for the southeast
ern division, aided by the the 1875 phys
ical directors in the camps. Their fig
ures of the number of games played
and the number of men participating
show that yolley ball is the most pop
ular of all sports.
There was time when baseball was
the most popular sport in the camps,
and in the month of March it was
three times as popular as any other
game. but in the following month the
newly introduced game of volley ball
was taken by the soldiers with the
greatest OF enthusiasm and the report
OF the physical directors in the camps
of the southeastern department show
that, commencing with the month of
April. volley ball has easily held first
place as the most popular sport with
the soldiers.
This is very easily understood when
II is explained that volley ball can be
played in very small space about
The size OF a tennis court. The SOL
diers with little practice can become
quite expert in the game Another fea-
ture is that all of the players on both
sides are playing the entire time, (no
bench warming) and the games do not
last nearly so long as baseball, in fact
not much longer than the average
baseball inning The only equipment
needed for this game is one ball and
one net.
Playground baseball is another game
that is making great hit with the
soldiers and now ranks fourth in pop
ularity. This game also can be play
ed in small space, the distances be-
tween bases being only thirty feet.
In this game large, soft ball is used
and the pitcher is required to use the
underhand throw. All the skill of the
parent game of baseball is required
for playground ball and the playing
has all the thrills and tense moments
that is to be had in the national past
time.
AS an entertainer boxing is very
much in the limelight in the camps
and like baseball has an immense fol-
lowing of devotees. Providing games
of entertainment is Of no small import
ance in the camps as it is shown in the
physical directors report that 905,375
spectators were in attendance at 49,
348 games in which 662,056 soldiers
participated in Y. M. G. A. games.
