TN this day and age the proper equipment is necessary for success in any kind of business and the farm is not an exception. Every farmer uses up to date machihery snch as binders, mowers, corn planters but stilllacks many conveniences that cost comparatively nothing. A BOUT the handiest thing around the farm or barn is a good wheelbarrow. They save many a useless step, many a heavy load and many an hour’s work. TA7*E have wheelbarrows made of hard wood with remov- ” able sides, others with steel bodies. The frames of them' are stiff, and well braced. Don’t forget to come in and price them the next time you are in town.

POULTRY

POULTRY HOUSE FOR FARMER Expensive and Elaborate Structure is Not Necessary, but Dry, Well Ventilated One is. (By J. W. GRIFFIN.) The size of our home poultry-build-ing is 16x40 feet, 6 feet at the front eave, and 7 at the rear eave, and 8 feet at the comb. The floor should be the natural’’earth if the house is located on a well drained place. If not, there should, of course, be a plank floor. For the convenience of the keeper, the building shjgfcld be divided into three rooms in the front part; the hallway at the rear should run the entire length of the building. The hallway is 4 feet wide; this will leave the three rooms 12x13 feet. The partitions between these rooms should be made solid two and onehalf feet high. The rest of the partition can be of poultry-wire netting. The upper part of the partition between the hallway and the rooms is made of wire netting. In the hallway we keep the supply of - food for the poultry, and a few’ barrels of roaddust that we gather up during a dry time in the summer. This is for the dust-boxes during the winder, when the hens should not be out on the cold ground. The Watering and feeding troughs are set along the slatted partition, just inside the hallway; the chickens reach through betw’een the slats for their food and water. The nests are placed on a platform just above the slatted part of the partition, and the dropping-board is

placed on the and the perches on the dropping-boards. The platform for the nests, the dropping-boards, and the perches are put in in divisions, three of 13 feet each. This facilitates the cleaning as all of the interior arrangements are removed at housecleaning-time, which is twice a year—spring and fall. This is the general cleaning time; the pens are cleaned each week, and the dropping-boards each day. The manure saved by cleaning the drop-ping-boards each day from a hundred hens pays handsomely, not only in the value of the manure, but in keeping the house'cleanly, The, boxes, are each one complete within itself. The openings of the curtained windows are covered with poultry netting. The house is made perfectly tight except the curtained Windows. There is a ventilator in each end at the gable •or summer ventilation. The floors of the pens should be covered with cut straw, or better still, dry leaves gathered in the fall and stored away to lie used through the w inter. The grain food w’hen scattered in chese leaves or straw gives the fowls

the much needed exercise. The dry mash-feeds and meat-scraps, etc., are fed In the troughs. The interior should be thoroughly sprayed with lime-and-sulphur solution. Use equal parts of lime apd sulphur in making the whitewash and you will not be troubled with liee, chiggers or mites that trouble the poultry.

Corrective for Overeating.

Chaircoal is an excellent corrective of the evils of injudicious overfeeding, and is also a good remedy in bowel disorders in poultry. Having wonderful absorbent powers, especially for gases, only a small quanity should be put into the feed hoppers at a time on account of its abs'orptive naturd. . ; ... 1 It should be kejtt In a thoroughly dry vessel with a close-fitting cover, so as to exclude the air. If charcoal is heated w*ell before given to the poulty, it will have a tendency to drive off the impurities which may have become absorbed, and it will be equal to fresh charcoal.

Keep Off the Grass.

Little chickens should be kept off the grass as much as possible, when it is wet with dew. The hen should be well fed and watered, so that she may rest content in the coop; then if the little ones range far enough on their own account td get damp, they have a dry mother to return to and will take no hurt.

THE SAVIOR'S TEACHINGS BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDIES

APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION UNSCRIPTURAL. Mark iii, 7-19; Matthew v, 13-16—April 21. Text: “Ye did not choose Me, hut I chose l ion and appointnl you, that ye should go and bear fruit.”— John xr, 16 ill. VJ. CODAY'S lesson shows the particularity with which the twelve Apostles were chosen. Some of the things said to and respecting them are equally appropriate to every one of Jesus’ followers, hut other things said to The Twelve and respecting them apply to none otto ers of their day nor since. As for instance. the Savior said to The Twelve, and to none others, “Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.’’ The import of these words clearly is that the persons indicated were assured that they would be so specially

guided of Divine providence that they would set forth as the Divine will amongst men nothing to whi c h Heaven would not assent; and they Would declare not binding upon the followers of Jesus

only such things as in God's sight would not be binding. In those twelve men," therefore, we recognize a plenary inspiration, or special guidance not accorded in this particular degree to others of the “brethren.” Surely there is no intimation in the New Testament that as one after another of the Apostles died other men were recognized as succeeding them. On the contrary, the Scriptures repeatedly refer to the “Twelve Apostles of the Lamb.” Moreover, as the Jewish 1 Dispensation began at the death of Jacob, -in the recognition of his twelve sons, so the Christian Dispensation began at the death of Jesus, in the recognition of His twelve Apostles. And as one of the tribes of Israel was cut off, and is not mentioned in the enumeration in the Apocalypse, but the tribe of Manasseh substituted, so amongst Jesus' Apostles Judas is dropped and a successor is appointed. St. Paul to Succeed Judas.

In the past we may have read too carelessly the account of how the eleven faithful Apostles exceeded their authority in th.e selection of Matthias to take the place of Judas. They should have remembered that the Master specifically told them to do nothing until after receiving the heavenly benediction. Accrediting them with the very best of heart intentions, it was, nevertheless, effrontery on their part to select two names and to determine that one or the other must be the successor of Judas. They had no authority for so, doing. As for the one upon whom the lot fell. Matthias, we hear nothing further of him. In God’s due time, lie Himself brought forth Saul of Tarsus. St. I’aul tells us that he found evidences that God had chosen him for a special service from his mother’s womb. And such special preparation and supervision we doubt not was applicable to ail of The Twelve. “A Crown of Twelve Stars.” The Lord's specialization of the twelve Apostles is variously referred to. He said. “Have not I chosen you twelve?’’ And again, “l’e shall sit on twelve thrones.’’ In the symbolical book of Revelation He pictures the Church as a tcoman clothed with sunlight, standing over or near to the moon, which symbolizes the Jewish Law Covenant: and upon her head was a crown of twelve stars, representing the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. Again, later on in the same book, we find pictured the Church in glory beyond the veil, the Bride —the New Jerusalem. Of this City we read that it had twelve foundations, and in the twelve foundations the names of the twelve Apostles. -o The recognition of successors to theApostles was one of the first errors

"Apostolic succession” Unscriptural.

same Divine authority up-to-date, latter great Churehffouncils were called in which as claimed successors to the Apostles decided what should and what should not be believed by the Church, what was and what was not orthodox: It can be readily seen that this exaltation of false apostles (Revelation ii, 2), contrary to the Divine arrangement. opened a flood-gate of error, however well intentioned all concerned may have been. It is surprising that so many still hold to, the creeds thus formulated by pseudo-apostles. The need of the hour is a recognition of these facts and an abandonment of all those creeds and a return to the words of Jesusi and the Apostles and the Prophets. Only thus can we extricate ourselves from the multiplied errors represented in the six hundred di-vi-gidons of the church of Christ.

after their death. Every bishop was recognized as one of the successors and hence as possessing Apostolic authority. It was not long until the words of the original Twelve were neglected. The living bishops were, acknowledged as ppeakiug with the
