In the Synoptic account (Mark 11. 17--which is aseociated with the end of the ministry--Jesus quotes the words that make the place "a house of prayer for all the nations."

We say nothing of the thousands of tons of brown paper used by the tradesmen in every shop in the coun- try.

Length of Proposed Channel Tunnel : Would Eclipse All Others. However opinions may differ on the proposed English Channel Tunnel, it certainly would eclipse all others where the question of length was con- cerned. Even the famous Simplon Tunnel through the Alps would have to take a back seat, with its 12% miles. An interesting fact, however, would still accord it a certain place in the tunnel world. Such was the exceeding care and skill of the engineers responsible for the work that, when their plans were put into practice, the Caner proved accurate to the minutest frac- of an inch.

The magnet is pivoted to the front end of an extending arm attached to the front axle wheel spindle, so that it will swing with the wheel during steering and always "remain in front of it. Increased Egg Production. With eggs retailing round five cents | apiece, the hen is receiving a good deal | of publicity, If it holds true that the supply and demand rule the market, "it is a safe conclusion that the major- ity of hens are off duty at this season of the year. It is really unnatural | for a hen to lay eggs during the cold | winter months. However, by care- ful selection, breeding, housing and feeding, birds have been produced | which lay every month of the year. It is especially desirable that "biddy" be induced to lay when eggs are high in' price. To do this it is necessary to start the bird on its journey in life | early in the spring. It has been | proven that the April-hatched pullets is much more likely to lay during the cold weather than the chick hatched the latter part of May or June. The | pultet must be developed before she can turn the feed she receives to the; production of eggs. With good feed and attention this development should be reached by thé time the bird is six' months of age. - However, many pul-| lets do not commence laying at this age, for the reason that they have not rec fved the »roper amount of the right kinds of feeds, It is too late now to rectify any mistakes made along this line for this year, but an, endeavor can be made the coming; snoring to hatch chicks early and feed them properly. There are certain treatments which are essential for winter egg production, even with the early-hatched pullet. In the first place she requires to be fed feeds which contain the material found in Wheat and corn make sat- isfactory grains for winter feeding, but good results follow the feeding of a greater variety. Oats are an excellent grain for poultry; their chief fault being that they contain too much hull. However, we know of poultrymen who feed no other grain through the winter and yet they are able to secure a large per- centage of eggs. One of the best ways of feeding this grain is to crush it and keep it before the birds, in a hopper. They will seldom cat too much of this material. It seems strange that two poultrymen can be located side by side, keep the same breed of fowl hatched about the same time, and feed the same varieties of grain in the same proportion, and yet one secures a large percentage of eggs while the other gets hardly any. Give Poultry Proper Care. There is a good deal in how the birds are looked after. It is the lit- tle attentions which count a good deal; for instance, one poultryman will heat the drinking water and give a warm mash every day. Another will sprinkle # little pepper in the mash, and it is possible that this may act as a stimulant to egg production, although one must be careful not to overdo it. There is a difference in the way mashes are prepared, and it fod spot Ee he vo Tice 2 ens as it is for © Kinds of live stock. Too many neglect to supply meat and green feed during the winter. With- human consumption which may be cooked and hung up in the poultry house for the birds to pick at. Some- times an animal is accidentally kill- ed and the carcass can be cut up and frozen and fed to the birds during the winter, care being taken that the meat is not diseased. There is usual- ly a supply of green feed about the farm, Mangels, turnips, cabbage, clover leaves, etc., are all good. The ration may be varied by sprouting some oats, which will be much re- lished by the birds. A little char- coal might profitably be added to the feeds. It is really necessary to the health of the birds. This material may be purchased, or it may be secued from wood ashes from the cook stove. It has often been noticed that where only a few bitds are kept, so that the table scraps furnish a considerable portion of the feed, a higher percent- age of eggs are produced than in a larger flock. This goes to prove that the proper feed for a laying hen is similar to that on which humans subsist. A dry, well ventilated pen is es- sential, and it is advisable to cover the floor with about a foot of chaff or straw. Scatter the grain in this, and the birds get necessary exercise in searching for their feed. If milk is available, by all means let the poultry have a liberal supply, and this will permit of decreasing the amount of meat feeds. A large portion of the egg is water, which points to the fact that the hen requires a constant supply of clean water, Grit, oyster shell and a dus! bath are other things which should be found in every poul- try house. Poultry requires atten- tion and good care if it is to be a pay- ing proposition.--Farmer's Advocate. i THE FLOOR OF THE OCEAN. Dust of Meteorites Found at Bottom of Deepest Seas. It is believed that to an enormous extent the bed of the ocean is covered with lava and pumice-stone. Still more remarkable is it to find the floor of the ocean covered in many parts with the dust of meteorites. These bodies whirl about in the heavens like miniature comets, and are "for the most part broken into innumerable fragments. We are all familiar with these heavenly visitants as shooting- stars; but it has been only lately dis- covered that this cosmic dust forms layers at the bottom of the deepest seas. Between Honolulu and Tahiti, at a depth of two thousand three hun- dred and fifty fathoms---over two miles and a hulf--a vast layer of this material exists. Falling upon land, this impalpable dust is indistinguish- able; but, accumulating for centuries in the sea depth, it forms a wondrous story of the continuous bombardment of this planet by cometary bodies. % rom seit Breaking The News.
