PROFITABLE DAILY TITHING. “Daily Heavenly Manna." This little book is having the largest circulation of tiny of Its kind and is conceded’ by Christians everywhere to be the most helpful. 1 1 If Christians allow the rush and crush of selfish ambition to 'deprive them of their daily portion of heavenly food, they must not be surprised If they grow spiritually leaner day by day, and if the peace of God gives place in their hearts to the discontent which is growing in the world, notwithstanding, the multiplication of our comforts and privileges. Daily Heavenly Manna contains a co’lectlon of Scripture texts with appropriate quotations for every day in the year. Surely the little tithe of time dally spent in partaking of its morsels of heavenly counsel cannot fall to profit all who partake. It is published to do good—not for profit.

Opposite each day of the year are blank lines upon which you can secure the autographs of your friends and be reminded of their birthdays as they occur. This makes the book more valuable yearly.

POULTRY

ONE GOOD FATTENING RATION Pennsylvania Station Makes Suggew tion as to Feed Where Different Kinds of Flesh Is Desired. The Pennsylvania station suggests the following grain rations for fattenIng poultry, as having been used with success: Where a yellow flesh is wanted a ration should be made of cornmeal, five parts; ground oats, hulls removed, two parts; animal meal, one part mixed with sour milk. Where a whit er flesh Is wanted the following ra? tions are recommended: Corn meal, two parts; ground buckwheat, two parts; ground oats; two parts mixed with sour milk. Another: Barley meal, two parts; middlings, two parts; buck* wheat, two parts; com meal, one part, mixed with sour milk. Another: The refuse from shredded wheat and sour milk. When birds are confined for fatten, trig sour milk aids digestion and keeps the system from getting (even ish. If no milk is available , sipms form of animal or food must be supplied to make the best gains, Should a chicken for any reason get off its food a good plan is to turn it out in the yard. It will usually re* cover in a short time. Water should be given once a day and grit twice a week. The rations should be fed rather soft, about like porridge. Ths food should never remain before th»rn from one meal to another Take It away twenty minutes after feeding,

CANDLING OUTFIT FOR EGGS

One .Can Easily Arrange Satisfactory Apparatus Out of Piece of . Tin apd a Lamp. (By BERT COHN.) Any person can make a candling outfit easily and cheaply. A cylinder of tin large enough to fit over a kerosene lamp or” lantern or a piece of ordinary slove pipe is sufficient. This should have a hole cut In It about the size of a silver dollar, cut so as to

Egg Testing.

stand opposite the flame of the lamp or lantern. The candling can be done In ordinary light, but better work can be done In a dark or semi-dark room. As a general rule If the egg shows clear, or in other words, If you can see through It, it is good. If it contains one or more dark spots, dark lines or dark rings, it is had,- and should be thrown away. If it Is several days old, ami has an air space at one end, it is not bad, but can be sold. The produce dealers receive the eggs as seconds. If you cannot see through the eggs they are bad and should be thrown out. Some: perfectly fresh eggs may show dark lines or rings. These are caused by unhealthy hens and the eggs are not good.

POULTRY NOTES

All houses and nests Should be clean. England hast one hen to the acre of territory. Sell off the scrub chickens and have only one breed. Collect all eggs from nest at least once a day; hot weather twice. Make ready a corner in each pen, that can be used as a dusting box. The surplus cockerels' and pullets may be sold as breeders and a fancy ' realized ■ - . ' ' Hens over two years of age are seldom good layers, therefore should not be held over. Keep eggs in a cool, dry place, but not in a cellar, as they are there Ml:ply to become musty. Care should be taken at all times never to permit moisture to come in contact with the eggs. When the hens are started in lay-, ing, great care must be used in not/3 allowing them out on stormy days, • Oats, bran and green food are the best stimulants to egg production. Corn is rather fattening for use at this season. A chick that is stunted because of lack of good food at any period of growth never is profitable as a layer or a breeder. A little' fresh meat minced fine is necessary for the laying hens during the winter months. This should be given about twice a week. An ideal bird for winter egg production is a pullet matured about November Ist, which is strong and vigorous and Is of a good laying strain.
