Since sawdust or other insulating
material costs so little, 1t would seem
advisable to increase the thickness of
the space for insulation In cold
climates to four or even six inches,
allowing the beekeeper to fill this

MALES FAVOR SCRATCH FEED
Better Plan to Have Medium Sized
Fowls Than Too Large, Espe-

Cockerels usually eat more scratch
feed and less mash than the pullets
do. Feeds which develop a medium
sized bird are better than to have the
cockerels develop into too large roost-
ers, especially those to be saved for
breeding purposes.

It's far cry from fighting death disease and privation in the almost impehatrable jungles of Africa to the pastorate of a quiet Baptist church in a modern New England city, but such ts the remarkable history of Rev, William Ross, postor of the First Baptist church in this city.
 MT. Ross Is a mild hammered, quiet and unassuming man, with fund of brilliant humor, unsuspected by those who do not know him well, and n merry twinkle in his eye. which bellies tho implication of age conveyed by his thin white hair and his snowy Van Dyke beard He is perfectly content with his flock and his pastorate here but sometimes reminiscent express sion comes over his face and one can almost detect the far away look in his eyes.
 There First as Boy
 When he was but boy, two score years ago or more, William Ross was residing with his father in Africa. The elder Ross at that time was on mis- sion for the British government. Talk ing his son up to the top of Table Mountain the father said, pointing off into the dense wilderness to the north beyond that jungle friend of mine went and never came back" The friend he referred to was the famous David Livingstone. The boy did not realize at that time that some day he to would penetrate that self same jungle.
 Necessary to Return
 But time changes all plans and later he found 1t necessary to return to England. He set sail from an Afri- can port on one of the slow travel ing combination freight and passenger steamers of that day. But the steam CT was ill-fated. They struck a gale which buffetted the boat back and forth on the waves until finally some-

slack in the chain while others on ropes would pull the steamer ahead. Credit for handling the mechanical work of the steamer is due Grenfell, who was n member of the Royal Geo. graphical society, of London, and whose reports to that society were pronounced more complete than Stanley's.
 Took steamer, Apart.
 Tn this way the boat was taken up some of the rapids, but finally 1t be- came so difficult to navigate that un- der Grenfell's directions the boat was taken apart and carried by the 800 natives, each man taking 60 pounds to a load. Along the way the mis- sionary with his men was busy open ing roads, building supply stations for missionaries to come later, and con- structing bridges over small streams.
 50 Per Cent Die.
 The way was difficult and extreme ly perilous. Stanley has said in one of his reports that "So tall were the time they made the forest so dark 1t created eternal night" The deadly mosquito and the tstse fly were among a few of the foes to guard against which the little caravan had to be vigilant. Chlggers, small parasitic insect, made much trouble. In fact. so much damage did these insects do in causing blood poisoning in the feet and toes of their victims that MT. Ross on his journey was forced to perform many amputations. In two
New Britain herald., 1922-01-20

coast of Africa he began preparations for his expedition into the interior. The only white man with him at the time, was George Grenfcll, an en- gineer, who died within a year.
 Many months were consumed in getting ready to start II was necessary to get together an expedition of na- tives, which sometimes numbered as many as 800. Provisions had to be procured Rifles and ammunition were needed before starting, Medical sup plies and means of transportation were necessary.
 Grcnfcll Proves Valuable.
 Here it was that Grenfell proved his worth. The steamship Peace, built by him, afterwards became an important figure In the history of Africa, and is referred to many times by Stanley in his reports. This steamer, a small portion of which Rev. MT. Ross now has in his study was unique in navigation annals. It was made in 800 pieces and was car ried on the heads Of negro burden bearers 300 miles inland to Stanley Pool, Before deciding to carry the steamer, an attempt was made to pull it up stream. Great difficulty was en- countered in this undertaking because of the dangerous whirlpools.
 Time after time, 1t was necessary to throw long chains from the boat around trees on the shore to keep the swift current from carrying it back down stream. Then gang of ne- groes would keep busy taking up

again set sail for Engalnd, leaving it's passengers behind on the island All the provisions the boat could spare were also left,
 Three Months on Island
 II was n trying time for the band of Isolated passengers, but they might have feared worse There were friends on the island, Soldiers helped find them shelter, Fish, guls' eggs, turtles and tropical fruits formed the princi- pie articles of food. The island itself was an extinct volcano and frequent trips were made to the craters edge by the marooned travellers. For three months they lived thus, and then one day relief ship sent for them hove in sight.
 Was at St. Helena
 The next stop made by Mir. Ross was at the island of St, Helena. where this island was seen at that time the beginning of the combined efforts Of civilized governments to break up the Kidnapping and selling of African negroes for slaves. II was customary for slave traders to sail into St. Helena asd here dump their cargo of human freight on the market. One time while MT. Ross was on this island he saw a British vessel steam in and iberate a load of negroes taken from a slave trader.
 Livingston and Stanley
 Some time later the world was ex- cited over the failure of Henry More land Stanley to bring back to civiiza- tion David Livingstone the mission ary who had disappeared into the heart of the unknown African country
 Stanley, who had been sent out by James Gordan Bonnet, Jr., owner of the New York Herald, to find the lost had located his man but had been unable to prevail upon him to return to Europe.
 Baptists Active
 Other expeditions were being fitted out by various organizations. The most active among these was the l3ap- tist church. Rev James Stewart, D. D.. M. D., in his book on Dawn in the Dark Continent" in 1902 says; ITO the Baptist Missionary Society be- longs the honor of having led the way in one of the greatest movements, either in the last or in this country the modern missionary enterprise of the Christian church.
 Its last and greatest effort was in the Congo valley where it now has S6 European missionaries, 56 native

years, 30 per cent of the expedition had died from fever and other jungle terrors,
 Tropical storms.
 But there were other perils that menaced the caravan Tropical storms were serious things, There were no candles, or other means of light except small cotton wicks burned in peanut shells. More than once, with this meagre glow to give them courage, the pioneers sat in their tents or huts In the midst of tor nado so terrible that words cannot describe it. Preceded first by death- like silence there would come a sud- den rush of wind and a downpour of rain which seemed as though the very heavens were opened.
 Islands Uprooted.
 Trees were uprooted like 50 many match sticks. The great Congo, from one and one-haf to two miles wide at normal times, would rise with the in- creasing rains and rush madly about with the fury of watery demon. Roofs were swept from huts and dis appeared in the turbulent waters. Sometimes chunks of earth, so large that they made veritable islands spac- ious enough to hold small summer resort, park hotels and all, would be torn loose from the waters edge and carried floating down stream. Whole forests disappeared this way. So vo- lent does the river become in one of

cvangelists, 10 main stations and nearly 50 sub-stations, with over 5000 native children in school"
 Helped by Moffatt
 Young Ross, now the Reverand Will liam Ross, although young man barely out of his teens, volunteered to go to Africa as a missionary. David Moffatt, father-in-law to Livingstone was instrumental in financing several expenditions and after suitable prep arations, including two years in a medical college, Rev. Mir. Ross de- parted for his second trip to the Dark continent. He was fortified with many maps and much information secured from MT. Moffatt.

did not sink, although badly crippled.
 However, it become necessary to make repairs at once, so the vessel was grounded at Ascension Island, at that time a military outpost on the seas. Temporary repairs were made and the damaged boat, with only it's crew.
