Hens Need Hard and Soft Grains
Only Cracked for Mature Fo,~Is-Preven
Gorging and Make Hens Exercise-Table Scraps Make
Mash-How to Feed Dry Mash

The best results in feeding hens for
eggs are obtained by giving the birds
several meals a day in such a form
that they eat about equal amounts of
soft and hard feeds. When it is not
convenient to hand-feed them in this
way, very good results may be obtain
ed by any plan that furnishes enough
feed, in the right variety, under such
conditions that they do not gorge
themselves at any tine, and take
exercise enough to keep them in good
condition.
Soft feeds for poultry are ground
grains and by-products, vegetables,
the flesh parts of animal feed sub
stances, and table scraps, which are a
mixture of such things. Hard feeds
are whole and cracked gra ms, and the
mineral parts of animal feeds. Corn
is the only grain that needs to be
cracked for mature fowls.
A soft feed mixture is called a
mash. Washes are fed either in a
moist or in a dry state. The form in
which the mash is given determines
the manner of feeding it, and-to
some extent-the method of feeding
the hard grain.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

OONDA1 SOhOOL LESSON
Whether It be In reference to our
Lord himself or to his followers, suf-
fering always leads to Glory, and the
Glory Is set before US as an incentive
to patient suffering. The prophets tes-
titled OF the sufrerings OF Christ and
the Glory that should follow Il Pet.

way to Emmaus, "Ought not Christ to
have suffered these things and to en-
ter into his gloryT duke "A :26).
The Joy set before him helped him to
endure his own cross (Heb. IL 10,
%; Rom. 8:iS). Now as he spoke of
his own and his disciples sufferings,
he also spoke of his coming In Glory,
and said that some Of those listening

they had seen the Kingdom of God

figuration following Immediately after
that statement I'm each Of the Cos
pels, and Peters testimony In 2 Pet.

to me that the events of the transfig-
uration were what he referred to In
Mark e:1; and the three disciples,
Peter, James and John. actually saw
that Kingdom in miniature. They
went up into a high mountain, and as
he prayed his appearance changed as
described: His face did shine as the

snow. Compare the account in each
Gospel and also Rev. 1916 Then
Moses and Elijah appeared, and talked
with him of his approaching death In
Jerusalem. The three disciples were
heavy with sleep, but when they were
awake they saw his Glory and the two
men who stood with him. Peter not
knowing what he said. talked of max
ing three tabernacles, one for the Lord
Jests, one for Moses and one for Eli
jah, for he felt that IL was so good
to be there. While Peter spake,
cloud overshadowed them, and a voice
out Of the cloud said: This Is my
beloved Son, in whom am well
pleased. hear ye him." When the
cloud was passed they saw no man
any more save Jesus only with them
selves. Now consider this, and see
the glory which was ever In that pre-
pared body. shining forth as 1t will
when he shall come again. See Moses
representing the risen saints, for no
doubt he had his resurrection body

translated saints, and the three disci-
pies representing Israel In the flesh.

A moist mash is usually given as one
of two or more regular meals, and in
such quantity that lis all consumed
within a short time. Table scraps
with enough ground feed to absorb
any excess of moisture make a good
moist mash. A dry mash is usually
fed in a hopper from which the birds
can eat at will at all times, or, at
least for several hours daily.
The dry mash method is most con-
venient for poultry keepers who are
away from home all day, and in short
winter days cannot attend to their
hens by daylight. With an ample
supply of dry mash in a hopper, a
days allowance of hard grain in the
litter of straw or other light material
covering the floor of the coop, a piece
of cabbage or of mangel wurzel where
the hens can eat what they want of it.
fresh water, and supplies Of oyster
shell and grit in small hoppers provi-
sion has been made for all needs of
the hens, and they will lay well,
though not, perhaps, quite as many
eggs as when handled two or three
times daily.
A good recipe for dry mash is:
Equal parts by weight, corn meal,
ground oats, wheat bran, and beef
scraps. A good moist mash may be
made of the same meal ingredients
with only one-third the amount of
beef scraps, because a larger proper
ton of concentrated animal feed in
moist mash may cause bowel troubles.
With such dry mash about a pint

Questions and Answers

@. Why do my sponge cakes rise
around the sides and fall in the CEN
ter? Is the heat of the oven at
fault?
Al. A very light cake put into an
oven that is too hot rises rapidly
around the sides, but leaves hollow
ia the middle. An excess of sugar
may also cause this, but there are
other causes. Ii a cake is made too
light with eggs or baking powder
and an insufficient quantity of flour is
added it will drop in the center. An
other frequent cause is the moving of
cakes while IN the oven before the
mixture has properly set. The same
defect is produced If the cakes are
moved from the oven before beng
baked sufficiently. If the oven door
is slammed careiessly the shock may
make the cake fall, and a quantity of
cold air will be shut in which will
check the baking.
@. What causes egg whites to
curdle while being whipped?
A. There are several causes to ac-
count for whites curdling while being
whipped. This generally happens if
weak, stale eggs are used, the whites
of which are very watery. Curdling
is often the result of beating the mix
ture all over the bowl instead of keep
ing it well in the center. Particles
of the meringue remain untouched by
the beaten; these quickly separate,
the small cells burst, and when mixed
in with the remainder of the mix
ture cause the whole to become soft.
The whites should be slowly beaten up
first, and the speed increased as they
become firm. If they are made under
proper conditions no sugar need be
added until the whites are almost
ready for use.

two-fold reply, to the effect that he
had already come in the person of
John the Baptist, who came in the
Spirit and power of Elijah, but being
rejected, the real Elijah would truly
come in due time (vss. lib; Matt.
17:10-13). What John the Baptist was
to the first coming of Christ, the real
Elijah will be to his second coming,
after the church has been caught up.

Of the disciples unable to deal with
a young man who was possessed by
demon, and had been so from child
hood. The father of the boy said to
Jesus, "If thou canst do anything,
have compassion on us, and help u.s."
The Lord Jesus replied: eff thou
canst believe; all things are possible
TO him that believeth." In answer to
the fathers confession of faith the
Lord rebuked the evil spirit and
healed the boy. There Is here fore
shadowing Of the Lord delivering Is

The Food Value of Nuts

Not very many years ago nuts were
considered so difficult of digestion
that no one but squirrels and children
with cast-iron stomachs attempted
their assimilation. Today nearly ev-
eryone knows that they should be eat
en- with salt to aid their digestion and
that if thoroughly chewed they can be
cooked in a variety Of ways and can
be depended upon to reduce the week
ly butchers bill.
The scientists have proved that
nuts contain more food value TO the
pound than almost any other food
product known. For example, pea
nuts contain 1914 food units to the
ounce, which is twice as much nour-
ishment as beefsteak, rice, beans or
cheese, and about eight times as
much as potatoes.
The chestnut is so starchy that it is
almost a bread. In Italian kitchens
it takes the place of cereals and many
of the finest grades of macaroni are
made from it. Chestnuts are also
made into soups, purees, and all man.
ner Of sweet desserts.
Almonds are exceedingly nutritious
but as the coarse brown skin proves
irritating to the bowels, they are bet
ter blanched. This can be quickly ac-
complished by pouring boiling water
over them and letting them stand for
three or four minutes. The skins can
then be easily slipped off. Dried and
sailed in the oven, they make an ex-
cellent digester. Three of them,
carefully masticated, will frequently
relieve indigestion caused by other
foods.
English walnuts, hickory nuts and
pecans come next in nutritive value.
Stronger in flavor is the black wal
nut, which is growing in favor for
cakes salads and pickles. The pecan
is said to be the most digestible Of all
nuts, while nut growers claim. it has
a greater future before it than any
other nut raised in this country.
If old nuts which have become
brittle as they dried, are boiled for
few minutes and cracked as soon as
cool they can be more easily removed
whole from the shell.
Nuts are highly concentrated food
and so they should be eaten with 9TH
err foods not so rich. 1t is an excellent
plan to eat crackers or bread with
nuts, for they will absorb the oil from
the nuts and supply bulk.
