Been EquaIed, a Yale Pro-
fessor Says

The bulk Of the people-businesa
men, lawyers, doctors and others don't
read the Bible, but writer's universally
recognize it as the greatest book, Prof.
William Lyon Phelps of Yale univer-
sity said In a recent address.
Being a serious book 1t Is weak In
humor," Professor Phelps said. "But
1 think Job intended grim joke when
he said: Would that mine adversary
had written a book
No narrative writer's can match the
style Of the Bibles Old Testament
stories-Hume, Gibbon, Rose-they are
all inferior. This is the day of the
short-story writer, Kipling, De Maupas-
SAINT, o. Henry, but their best efforts
fall short of the stories of the Bible.
So it is with its poetry In the Psalms.
Its wisdom Of the Proverbs is just as
up-to-date as the morning paper. and
there is no political economy equal to
the Book of Gospels.
ut is impossible to overestimate the
Bibles influence on English literature.
Bunyan wrote a great book because
he was saturated with the Bible, and
1T trickled out when he wrote.
Lincoln knew only two books-the
Bible and Shakespeare, and yet he was
splendidly educated man. To know
the Bible is to be educated. One Of
the finest metaphors in Keats Ode to
a Nightingale is taken directly from
the Bible; Nearer, My God, to Thee
is simply q paraphrase of the Bible"

REV. E. G.. M'KINLEY

At his home in Gambler at o'clock
on the morning of Nov. 18th, the
spirit of Rev. E. G. Mckinley passed
into the great beyond. This sad
message was expected, as Rev. Nc
Kinley had been in poor health for
several years, and during the past
several days of his life, failed rapid
iy.
He was born three-quarters of a
century ago at Moore's Prairie, ILL.,,
but spent the greater part of his
childhood in West Virginia, having
lost his mother during his infancy.
After supplying the pulpits of sew
eral different places in the state, he
came to Gambler to serve the people
as pastor of the Presbyterian church,
which duty he fulfilled until few
years ago. i'll health compelling him
to resign pastoral duties. But he was
active in church work, as being stated
clerk of the Presbytery and con-
tributor to a number of religious
magazines and papers.
The deceased was blessed with
three children by his first marriage,
namely: Mrs. Gutta Pankin of Can
nonsburg, Pa, Mrs. J. ]. Marshall,
who has been his constant nurse dur
ing his failing health, and son in
the north. He leaves number of rel
atives in the north. He was second
cousin of President Mckinley.
Thirteen years ago, he was married
to Miss Olive Mckinley, whose sad
death three years ago was mourned
universally.
Rev. McKinley's remains were sent
to Cannonsburg, Pa, to be inferred
in the family lot at that place.
He is gone from among US! We
shall see his face no more here, but
his words live after him.
Lives of great men oft remind us,
We may make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us,
Footprints on the sands of time.

Rats Destroy Quantities
Of Food; Government Has
Plan to. Destroy Rodents

1t frequently happens that losses Of
young chickens attributed to the depre-
dations of hawks and to other causes
are due to rats. There is no more de-
structive pest about the poultry yard
than these. Coming like the thief in
the night and usually leaving no visi-
BILE marks of their ravages, they es-
cape, in large measure, the relentless
hunting down that they deserve. Not
only are they destructive to young
chickens, but they prey upon the egg
supply throughout the year.
The United States department Of
agriculture points out that anyone, by
care and industry, may free his own
premises of these rodents, but that he
is helpless to prevent an early recur-
renee of the trouble unless he can Sc
cure the active cooperation Of his
neighbors. The department urges,
therefore, that wherever possible the
destruction of these pests be commu-
nifty undertaking.
The same effort, it is pointed out,
that is made by individuals working
independently, if organized on COM
munity basis would be many times
more effective. The department has
worked out and tested definite plans
for the destruction of rats, in common
with other rodents, and information
concerning the matter can be had by
writing the department.

Little Housing Is Needed
For the Raising of Sheep;
Fenced Pastures important

cient number and size to allow fire.
quent changing of fiocks to fresh
ground to insure health. Where win
tiers are longer and more severe build
ings and sheds are necessary to fur
nish protection from storms, though
no special provisions are needed for
warmth. Dryness, good ventilation
and freedom from drafts are the first
requisites Of buildings for sheep. Con-
venience in feeding and shepherding
must also be held in mind in locating
and planning such buildings or sheds.
Small flocks can be cared for In sec
tons of barns having stabling or feed
storage for other stock, but with a
flock of, say, 100 ewes separate build
ings are desirable. The interior ar
rangement of these buildings should
be such as to require a minimum of
labor and the least possible moving of
the ewes in doing the feeding and car
ing for them during the lambing sea-
son. A building of this type can also
be utilized for fattening purchased
lambs to be disposed of before lamb
ing begins in the regular farm flock.
A good supply of feed racks, grain
troughs, ETC., can be provided at small
expense and will save labor and pre-
vent waste Of feed.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS


Chickens will "pick up" a good part
of their living from waste that other
wise would never become of any value.
They will feed themselves to an ex-
tent from grass, weeds, insects and
crumbs and small scraps that If not
eaten by chickens would not become
of food value to man. They will eat
the eggs and larvae from which come
various destructive insects, particu.
larry orchard pests. In some orchards
where chickens range the brown-tail
moth has almost disappeared, while
nearby orchards where chickens do
not run are damaged by the pest.
Most of the attention required by
farm f1ocks can be given by the wom-
en- and children of the household. The
question of labor is not a puzzling and
uncertain problem I'm the poultry pro-
duction program. If the farmer in
creases his flock to a size suitable to
fit in as a by-product of his general
farming he will find that it will not
require extra help.
Because of these facts-that poultry
as a by-product of general farming
find much of their feed in waste and
require no extra labor-the farmer
win produce meat food at the very
lowest cost. Home consumption OF
this will cut down his living expenses
and enable him to sell more of the ami
NAL meat he produces. He will be
making more money himself, and al
the same time he will be helping Uncle
Sam win the biggest war the world
has ever known.
