anced ration. If it is more conven-
lent for you to feed corn. or corn
chops, be sure that your hens get
some sort of dry mash and some
beef scraps or a good grade OF tank
age. Wheat bran is as good as mash
if your hens have a really good run,
not Just plain ground that has not
a sprig of grass nor a hiding place
for a bug.
There is a difference of opinion
as to whether it is more profitable
to sell January eggs or to set them
and have spring broilers. Ones To-
cation has much to do with that.
Baby chicks in January are a lot
of work, inasmuch as one must not
let them get chilled nor TOO hot,
but if one can push them till they
weigh a pound and quarter when
six weeks old, and live close enough
to some Zig hotel, it is almost clear
money.
Here is where the incubator ques-
ton comes in. The size OF the IN
cubator depends on the size Oh the
flock to furnish eggs, unless one
can depend on the neighbors to sell
enough eggs to fill 1t with eggs not
more than a week old, and does not
mind the hatch looking like 10
seph,s coat" True, one need not fill
it, but it takes the same amount OF
oil and the eggs must be turned and
the lamp looked after if the tray is
full or only b few. With three in
cubators sixty or a dozen more
eggs, a dozen hens can give as many
Young chicks in succession as the
average woman can look after In
the language of the school boy,
"don't bite off more than you can
chew" And if you expect to hatch
so, make a brooder for 100; they
cannot stand crowding.
A letter lies before me asking
what I think of broken crockery in
stead of oyster shell. I think that
it is very expensive substitute
Of course some dishes are broken IN
every home. but too many children
are allowed to walk all over the
house with a plate, cup or saucer IN
their little hands. Twenty-Five
pounds of crushed oyster shell will
last a year if you have 100 hens.
and I believe any seed house will
deliver it for less than rs cents. 1
bought 100 pounds, | gave away
pounds and pounds of it, and then
it lasted me three years. Put it in
a shallow box where the poultry can
get it any time and you will be sur
prised to see how often you have to
fill the box | had q load of gravel
hauled here five years ago, and the
hens are as busy there as they are
at the shell box.
Get your purebred cockerel now,
| if you failed last fall. and build up
| a first-class flock. Scrubs eat as
much as purebreds.

SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON
For January Is. Matt. 10: 1850
BY DIR. MARION NH. HULL

than for rich man to enter the
Kingdom Of Heaven"-that is, it Is
impossible "But with God all things
are possible" for salvation-eternal
life-is a gift; and God can give it.
to a man with a million as well as
to a man who is a million in debt:
1t doesn't depend on what he has, as
on what he becomes-God can only
give it to him who is childlike-
dependent trustfuI. obedient. A mil
lionaire and pauper may each be
that.
Rewards
That prompted Peter to ask what
they were ding to get for having
left all for Him. The very fact
ward was evidence that he was not
forgetting self. If you are looking
for what you are going to get for
serving Christ you have your eye
on yourself instead of on Him, you
are first place. Forget the reward
therefore.
Oh yes, it will be, given. God
never forgets those who give Him
the first place in their lives. for
"eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither hath it entered into the
heart Of man to conceive of all that
God hath laid UP for them that love
Him" And Jesus told Peter here
he needn't worry about that for
in the regeneration when He should
sit with Him and judge the twelve
tribes of Israel And there any man
who had left houses, or brethren.
for His sake and the gospels should
receive 10000 per cent on his In
vestment now, and eternal life to
boot.
Is not it worth while to let Jesus
Christ have all that YOU have?
There is so much joy in the serv-
ice of the king now that we never
think of the rewards that will come.
They will surely come, for no man
can outgive God. These rewards,
however, will not be in the nature
of remuneration. Even the rewards
will be all Of race, as the sue
perfect right to do with His own
as He pleases, and those who had
right to expect the least got the
most. We are taught that after we
have done our best we are unprof1t-
able servants. So no reward will
be Of merit; but all will be Of grace.
Did the young ruler ever rea-
lie and rectify his mistake? l
think he did. L believe that he sur
rendered all-may be not until after
the crucifixion-and found what his
self righteous but unsatisf1ed soul
craved. God does not ask you to do
what he had to do, unless money
or something else is making you
feel independent of Him. He asks
sist on saving yourself-you will
find it impossible. If there is any
thing that is keeping the gift of
God out of your life, give that up;
for 10000 per cent now and eternal
life are on the other side.

CHICKEN RAISING
BY LIZZIE O THOMAS
JUST ABOUT CHICKENS

I sold three roosters last week,
md that changed my pens, so l have
been working in the chicken yard,
md as I looked over the flock and
changed some of them to other pens,
or to a coop, I thought of dozen
things that I wanted to tell the
poultry raisers~
But first of all, I want to let you
share a letter that encourages me
to write at this time on this par
ticular subject:
Dear Mrs. Thomas:
"I miss your chicken chats in The
Journal. Your part is the first thing
that I look for. I am sure that my
success with poultry is to a great
extent due to you, for [ have learned
so many helpful things from reading
your articles, and L have found
that it will not do to order from the
common run of ads
Last year feed was SO high ana
the uncertain spring made 1t hard
for a great many to raise even half
of theirs, but this lady had fifty
hens. She marketed 532 dozen eggs,
lacking just two; the young hens
and the fryers that she sold brought
$225.47; her expenses were S23l.36,
so you see that the egg money was
all clear, except a few dollars, and
she does not tell of some that she
gave away
And this is what 1 especially want
to call your attention to: She spent
money for her hens. Don't you see
many a man simply having spasms,
and foaming at the mouth If his
wife were to buy feed or get 1t out
Of the barn? The poor hens and the
poor woman tied to that sort of man
have to scratch for a living.
This lady cleared more on her
poultry than some four-horse farms.
and the family had the sort of food
that all of us need, and L want to
see how many of you will do as we'll
as she did. Even if you make two
dollars profit on a hen, you will
clear more than the so-called money
CROP" be it tobacco or cotton, for
you are not working like a house
afire all the time.
1 hear people say that their hens
are too fat to lay. 1t is not the fact
that they are fat that makes them
stop laying, but the sort of feed and
their environments. 1t takes flour,
lard, sour milk, soda to make bis
cults, and the better the material,
the finer the product. Try batch
of dough with one or more of these
ingredients omitted. and the result
is a miserable failure. So it is in
egg making. There must be bal

What to do With
Old Clothes

An enterprising woman, whose last
years coat had grown too small,
inserted a For Sale advertisement
in a local paper. She sold the coat
for half Of it's original price. Many
Of her friends also adopted this idea
and thus are able to get new clothes
more frequently. The people who
buy are glad to get much-needed
clothes at a low price. There is
quite demand for such clothes and
a clever woman can make her old
clothes earn quick profits for her.

 , EXODUS FROM THE ARMY
From the Washington Star

From the Washington Star
 Judging from the applications for discharges from the army that have been reported from various posts there will be no serious trouble on the score of the reduction ordered by Congress- concerning which Secre- tary Weeks recently expressed him. self with apprehension.
 For example, dispatch from New port News states that more than 50 per cent of the several thousand en- listed men stationedgat Fort Monroe, Langley Field and Camp Eustis have asked to be mustered out, This IS but one of numerous cases. It woul.l, appear that the enlisted men are dis posed to get out of the army regard less of their terms. by taking ad vantage of the necessity of reducinp ranks. Just why this should be is n matter of speculation. UnempIoyment prevails to an unusual degree throughout the country, Yet men are aski,g by thousands to be diseharg sl before their enlistments have expired They either have specific employment assured or they find the army condi- tions so distasteful that they are willing to take d chance.
 The motives of these men who are seeking discharge should be ascer- tained officially. If there is any, thing in the service conditions which makes men want to leave it should be known and if possible corrected. The fact that there are more, men n the army today than Congress has provided for and that a reduction is necessary does not lessen the need If an Nquiry into the motives of those who wish to quit. Even if disarn,a- ment is effected and the land forces
 the United States are reduced--ir reduction is effected through interna- tional agreement-a segular army es- tablishment must be maintained Of some size. It is highly desirable tn tt the terms of enlistment and the con- ditions Of service should always be such as Ito insure fulk ranks.
