Dear Folks:

the passing Of Mary and Joseph on
their search for refuge, the night
our Savior was born. You know
of that search and it's final

and seeing the light might try the
door, and finding it open might
come in and rest, and then indeed
would our house be blessed for
ever.
In this country the door is not
left Unmatched, but in many windows
candles burn all the night before
Christmas, sending cheering rays of
light to passers by, reminding all
that on this night so many years
ago a little child was born whose
life and sacrifice would save the
world.
In the big cities they do not put
stop to such a. custom because it
may bring fires, but the firemen
are on guard by their engines all
night, 81 if there is need for them
they will be ready. They do not
mind this vigil.
1 hope many candles will burn IN
many windows this Christmas eve.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.

the full care of incubator chicks. Ii
YOU will send a question to the man
ufacturer of the incubator you will
get a pamphlet covering this mat
fer. and from thar you can judge
whether you think the machine de-
sirable and also whether you are
her of chicks. You can raise chick
ems successfully with a incubator.
I've done it, but it means hourly
work. Unless you want to go into
the poultry business on a large
scale, depend on hens. If you are
willing to give your entire time and
attention for at least three months
to YOUR brood, don't hesitate to use
the incubator. Follow exactly the
instructions given; do not think that
YOU know more than the men who
have worked this out. Feed care
fully, give buttermilk in place OF
water for the first ten days at least,
and you've a good chance at a Dig
raise.
