Economical Heating.

The sun itself heats the hot water
used by many residents of Monrovla
and other places in Southern Califor-
MIA. The sunshine water heater con-
sists of coil of pipe arranged in a
box about four inches deep with a
copper bottom and glass top. The
apparatus is usually placed on the
roof or ill similar exposed location
The rays of the sun heat the water in
the pipe and thus set up circulation
that carries the water to a storage
tank, from which it is drawn for
household uses. The storage tank is
so thoroughly insulated that the loss
of temperature during the night is
not usually more than A or 5 degrees.

excessive carbohydrate ration. After
freshening, they should be worked up
to full feed very gradually, receiving
all the rOughage they care to consume
without waste; alfalfa or clover hay
fed in connection with silage or roots
being very good combination.
Amount of Grain to Feed.
The grain should be light In char
acter to begin with and gradually
changed to a mixture of grains that
will supplement the roughage 800
pounds ground oats, 300 pounds ground
corn, 100 pounds wheat bran and 100
pounds gluten feed being a good COM
binatiOn to go with the rOughage men,
toned above. The grain can be In
creased a fraction of pound day so
long as there Is an increase In the
milk flow, but as soon as there Is no
response to the increase it must be cut
down until there Is a falling OF in the
milk flow and then the increase may
be begun again. When on full feed
they will be consuming about one
pound Of grain to every Sh pounds of
milk produced.
In the absence of silage or roots,
dried beet pulp may be used, but II
none Of these are available or are too
high In price, oilmeal can be used in
the grain mixture to advantage. In
the absence of silage and roots, the
cows will consume large quantity OF
alfalfa. Sometimes 1t is advisable to
chafr and mosten a portion Of 1t when
fed under these conditions.

The attractive, not to say startling,

to eating them. No breeder can ex'

the desirability of the meat of young
rabbits to his neighbors and sometimes
to other agencies. If a breeder is not

FERTILITY IN DEAD LEAVES
Contain Large Amount of Potash and
Are Useful as Mulch or Fertll-
izer for Garden.

Because leaves contain relatively
large amounts Of potash, chemists at
the Ohio Experiment Station point out
the economy of using leaves as
mulch or fertilizer for the garden,
rather than burning them in the
streets or cutters. They show that
100 pounds of leaves are worth about
sc cents for their fertilizing value.
When leaves are burnt the ash still
contains considerable amount of fer
tilizlng materials; but as the ashes
are generally swept away by the wind
or washed away by the water, their
value Is lost. To secure the best re-
suits from leaves as fertilizer, it is
best to pile them in the garden and
let them furnish mulch for the
ground during the winter; then they
may be spaded in the spring and In
corporated with the soil.

.REARRANGE PERCHES

Birds Of Heavy, Large Breeds Should
Not Be Compelled to Jump Too
Far-Dangerous to Permit Hens
to Crowd at Night

When making readjuStmentS in the
poultry houses 1t isaalways we'll to
look over the perches and see If they
meet the requirements Of the birds. If
fowls are Of the heavy, large breeds the
perches should not be as high, for
many i'll effects are the result of jump
ing from high perches. The lighter
weight fowls are usually better flyers
and can assist themselves In getting
up and down much better than can the
heavy ones. The two kinds should
never be kept In the same house at
night If for no other reason than the
above, says writer in an exchange.
The height of the perches also brings
trouble if every one Is not on the same
level. In endeavOring to secure the
safest place In the house all fowls will
try to reach the highest perch and the
lower ones are practically useless ex-
cept to the ones that could not fight
their way higher.
Always aim to have the perches at
the same height and have room enough
on them to avoid crOwding. There are
dangers In crowding the hens at night.

High jumping from the ro0sts Is

to deformities. 1t is the natural in
stinct Of the fowls to want to rOoSt
high. away, as they suppose, from
their enemies, as they do In the wild
state; and while rats should not be
permitted to infest the houses there is
less danger from them when the fowls
are high up. Then, too, the little
streams of air (that should not be al

When 1t comes to marketing grain,
hay, silage, green crops, etc.. the
dairy cow is almost indispensable for
economy. She consumes these bulky
feeds, converts them into finished
products easily and economically
marketed and at the same time saves
much of the fertility in the manure.
Where hay, corn, fodder, etc, must be
hauled to market there is considera-
bile expense. If most of this expense

Your son died gloriously, fighting

Have Raised Quota Of Centenary
Drive and Parsonage Debt A.
Well.
The great Methodist Missionary
Centenary drive was launched last
Sunday in all the churches Of Metho.
dism. The goal in view was to reach
a total of one hundred and five mil.
lion dollars payable ia the next five
years. The local church in Willmar
was asked to raise thirty-four hun.
dred and twenty-five dollars az their
share Of the $105,o00. 900. To this
Centenary asking the Official Board
of the church added a parsonage
debt of over two thousand dollars. At
the close of Sunday evenings service
it was found that over flfty-six hun.
dred dollars had been subscribed. In
other words, the local church went
over the top to victory with both the
parsonage debt and their full Centen.
airy quota. Every dollar of the q.
mount subscribed was received. from
the people in the church, thus max.
ing it unnecessary to ask any help
from the general public. The pastor
made almost constant use Of the loo.
al papers in bringing the Centenary
Movement before the public, and the
editors are given public recognition
for the generous way in which they
gave space to this great cause.
It is too early yet to know the re.
suits of Victory Sunday In the other
churches of Methodism: but It may
be of interest to the public to know
that over $59;000,000, or nearly one
half of the Methodist Centenary goal
was subscribed before the week of
the big drive had been launched. June
the 10th has been set as the closing
day OF the drive. and reports now
coming from Centenary headquarters
point to one big rush over the top
to victory.
