Many Churches suspend.

1.-THE effect Of this treatment varies
in different localities. In some places
worship is entirely suspended. church
officers not under arrest are in hiding
and the congregations are scattered. In
soute places church meetings have been
forbidden; In others the services are
continued, but with reduced attendance
and with police detectives and spies
present; in still others the disturbances
have had no effect on the congregational
gatherings and many new inqulrers are
present, attracted doubtless by the repu-
tation fof patriotism which Christians
have acquired. .
1T may be said that the local officials
are always ready with some absurd ex-
PLANTATION of the destruction of church
property such az that the Christians burn
their own churches to show their ADAM
donment OF Christianity or that nom
Christians burn them in hostility to
Christians.

cluding Mr.. Kinard, who had been
notified, surrounded the building tt

Hair came around tha corner Mr.. Kin
ard shot him with shotgun thinking
him as one OF the burglars.
The load took effect in the Gbdo-
men, puncturing the intestines ove'

his life were made, but the intestine
and stomach were literally torn
pieces, making it impossible to save
him.
Mr.. Hair was one of the most pc,

CROPPING PLAN FOR POULTRY
PENS.

Green food for poultry may be pro-
viGed throughout the year in a large
part Of the country by using two yards
alternately; that is. crop is pastured
n one yard while another crop is
growing in the second yard. The fol-
lowing plan is suggested by poultry
specialists OF the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture as adapted to
moderate climatic conditions. The crop
grown should be the one best suited to
the particular locality. For the ex-
treme North and South the dates
should be modified. Thickly sown
crops furnish succulent food and sum-
mer shade.

RABBIT FOR MINCEMEAT.

OLIVE OIL" FRAUDS; READ

Several seizures have been made
and number OF prosecutions instituted
as result Of a campaign inaugurated
by the officials charged with the en-
forcement Of the Federal food and
drugs act against the Interstate ship
ment of adulterated and misbranded
olive oil
Consumers are advised to read care
fully the labels Of all containers Of
fered to them as containing olive oil

turer actually claims that the product
is olive oil or merely suggests II by
misleading devices. Some of these
deceptively labelled products arc sold

Cottonseed oil, corn OIL, peanut oil.
soy bean oil and other vegetable oils
are wholesome, palatab.e oils, but they
should be bought under their own
names at prices much lower than the
prices at which olive oil is usually
sold.
Owing to the scarcity and high
price Of olive oil a number of dealers
were putting on the market cottonseed,
corn and other vegetable oils labelled
as olive oil. As the result OF large
number Of seizures 81 these products
and prosecutions pending against the
responsible parties the practice has
been generally discontinued. Some
dealers, however. are endeavoring 10
continue to reap the large profits in
volved and hope to escape the penalties
Of the food and drugs act by so word
Ing the labels OF their product as to
convey the impression to the consumer
that the product is olive oil without
stating directly on the label that IL
Is olive oil.
These products are commonly
labelled as salad oil" or table OIL" or
, some other indefinite kind OF oil. On
the labels are displayed conspicuous
pictures of olive trees or maps of Italy
or other devices intended to suggest
olive oil. In some instances the words
"cottonseed oil" or corn OIL are
printed in very small type in an in
conspicuous place on the label A cur
sorry reading of the label. such as is
usually given by retail purchasers,
would lead the average person TO be-
lieve that the product was olive oil.
Only the most careful scrutiny and
exact reading will reveal that the

fact Is not olive oil.
The practice of deceptive labelling,
even though no directly false state
ments are made. is. In the opinion OF
the officials, a violation Of the food and
drugs act, Seizures are being maus
and prosecutions instituted to check

FEED CHICKS FREQUENTLY.

When the chicks are a few days old
II Is well to begin to feed a little grain.
Miilet seed, finely cracked corn and
wheat, "pinhead" oatmeal. and broken
rice may be scattered In the litter or
short grass about the coop or brooder.
It will pay to sift the cracked corn
and wheat through sleeves, so as to re-
move both the meal and the larger
pieces A very good mixture Of cracked
grains for chicks is two parts wheat,
two parts "pinhead' oatmeal. one part
corn, one part rice, and one part millet
seed. Another good mixture is ten
pounds cracked wheat, four pounds
cracked corn, two pounds millet seed,
two pounds cracked hulled oats or pin
head oatmeal, and one pound fine beef
scraps. There are also many prepared
chick feeds on the market which are
very good
Young chicks should be fed o little
at a time and often. They should be
fed early in the morning and just be-
fore going to bed at night, and not
less than three times in the interview
ing period. For the first two weeks
they may be fed three meals Of soft
feed and two Of hard, and after that
age two of soft and three OF hard, feed
ing less soft feed as they grow older.
No more moistened soft feed should be
given at one time than they will eat
up clean. If any is left It should be
removed, for nothing causes more
bowel looseness and dysentery among
young chicks than sour feed. The
finely cracked grains may be safely
used from the start. but the chicks do
not as a rule grow as rapidly as when
part Of the feed is ground When
the chicks are from four to six weeks
old the frequency OF feeding may be
decreased to four times a day.

WHEN TO HATCH.

Leghorns and similar breeds, under
best conditions, require from five to
five and half months for maturity,
which means Matching from April IL
to May Is for October and November
eggs. Birds Matched earlier may go
through a fall moult. 1t may some
times be advisable to hatch a small
part OF the flock from four to six
weeks before this date with n view
OF getting enough early fall eggs to
warrant the subsequent losses from
fall moult. The Reds. Rocks and
Wyandottes usually take about a
month longer to mature than the Leg
horns. consequently their Matching
dates should he about a month earlier.
In general, more chicks are hate he'd
