EPROFITABLE POINTERS % PERTAINING m POULTRY By W. J. Blakeston. Stratiord Three years ago, we commenced‘ keeping poultry. Two years ago, I sent in a report of our first year’s experience at the business. That year, with a flock of 21 hens, we cleared $21. The second year, with a flock averaging 30 hens, there was a net gain of only $12, During the year just ended we made a profit of $24 with a flock of 35 hens. It will be readily seen from the foregoing results that poultry keeping is not an exceedingly profitable oc- cupation in the city. judging it from a pecuniary standpoint. Nevertheless, we feel quite jubi- ilant we came out right side up. We are repeatedly told by expert' poultrymen that good, Well-bred. hens, if properly attended to, will“ give their owners a clear profit of $1 a year. I have no doubt that any careful, Wide-awake farmer, can easily clear one dollar per‘ head on his (hens, because he gets; everything at first cost and has“ plenty of room for his flock, in the bargain. On the other (hand. the urban poultry keeper has to pay top-notch prices for every- thing. Whether he buys it direct from the farmer. or middleman. The latter also. as a rule, has very little room for .his fowl. It is well-known that ‘shade. with a large runway and cool. fresh water in summer, swell the profits im- measurably. On t.he farm the heme can easily supply themselves 'with a variety of food. and in doing so get plenty of exercise to keep [them in robust health. Not many rcity hens have the" benefit of a ggrass plot with plenty of shade strees. In fact the invirouments on Last summer I spent a great part of the holiday buying hay in {Huron and Bruce and came in con- ltact with many farmers. but found very few of them paying much at-, tention to poultry. Their henâ€"' (houses as a rule. were unsanitary! -â€"small. stuffy, dirty. cold. dark,[ gloomy buildings, that would efâ€"l ’fectually stop any self-respecting] hen from laying. One farm in Iparticular. Where I had my dinner, gone day, was building a cement ihen house, to keep out the skunks: iand minks. so he said. but he was' 'kecping out something else that' 'Would do more good than harmâ€"l 'nainely, sunlight. His hen house ‘was far "more fitted for roots than !for poultry. I gave him a few! "pointers on roosts. nests. etc., but‘ gwas too late to suggest any other' iimprovements, Just think of it E; {He built the south side of that, lhouse with a solid wall of cement% 'with the exception of a little Win-s lldow at the top, suggestive of a: Hail cell. Had he been a subscrib-i ’Ier to the Farmers’ Advocate. he, ’would have saved himself a good" deal of unnecessary work, and hadl ia better hen house, and better re-é sults in the bargain. A hen ‘housei ishould be roomy, well-lighted, iclean, dry, and free from drafts. iIt is not necessary to be frost- ,proof, but in my opinion should lhave a board floor, unless the I site is an extremely dry one. I tried an earth floor one season. and found it very unsatisfactory in the, fall and spring, The floor should; be covered With a deep litter of ‘ chaff. I use shavings. as straw is too dear nowadays. A big box of fresh ashes should be accessible to E the hens at all times, to enable them to keep free from lice. If a few barrels of road dust were gathered during July and August, and stored away in a dry place, near a furnace, one could furnish lhis hens With the best insect pow- lder ever produced. a farm are most excellent for.suc-, cessful poultry keeping, Stranger to relate. however, comparativelyi few farmers make poultry raisingl, a really profitable branch of agri-g culture. Why? Simply because they have a very imperfect con-z ception of how to feed and care for: poultry. I suppose there are" thousands of Ontario farmers lWho‘ do not take an agricultural paper]; of any kind, although these publi-i cations can be had for a mere song. Personally. I think the‘ Farmers’ Advocate the best farm iournal Md and I have ex- amined quite a number. I receiv-l ed several valuable hints on poul-l try raising from one copy of that Journal that I happened to pick up one day in .a farm house Where I was visiting. The advice I got that time was worth -a year’s sub- scription to the paper, During the winter, it is abso-l lutely necessary to provide thei flock with plenty of grit, gravel, oyster shells, charcoal, to, make egg, egg-shells, and to grind up the food in the gizzard. How many farmers in South \Grey buy oyster shells? Hands up, those who do! I would also emphasize the necessity for a variety of food.

I am iof'ten surprised that more farmersl ids not sow an :acre, at least, of1 llwuckwheat. as this cereal is con- sideredone of the most valuable {foods for hens when mixed with 1 other grains. 1 4 Our method of feeding is as fol- lows: Morning, mixed grain scatâ€" tered in litter; noon, a mash, con- sisting of shorts, greeen‘cut clover, kitchen, scraps, With occasionally a spoonful of condition powder: night. mixed grainâ€"a liberal sup- ply. so that hens go to roost With a full crop. --.â€" -.- The hens have access most of the time, to grit, oyster shells, leharcoal. cut bone and turnips. In ;the winter time we give them Rwarm, fresh water. During the isummer, We raised 22 chickens ifrom three settings. Thirty chick- ,ens were hatched out but rats got {away with eight of them.

SUNHAY SEHGUL Text of the Lesson, Mark ii, 23 to iii, ; 6â€"Momory Verses, 27, 28â€"Golden ' Text, Mark ii, 27â€"Ocmmentary Pro- parod by Rev. D. M. Steal-nu. Sabbath day incidents. the disciples plucking corn and a withered hand restored in the synagogue, is found in Matt. xii and Luke vi, as well as in Mark, so that it must concern Him not only as the Jewish King rejected. but also as the perfect servant, and as the Son of Man. to whom all things will yet be subdued. To understand Him and His words and works we must consider Him as Nathaniel spoke of Him, “the Son of God. the King of Israel" (John 1. 49), as “the King of the 2 Jews" whom the wise men sought 1 (Matt. ii, 2). and as the “Wonderful, ‘ Counselor, the Mighty God. the Ever- lasting Father. the Prince of Peace. ‘ who will yet sit upon the throne of David and whose kingdom shall know no end" (Isa. ix. 6. 7; Luke i, 32. 33). The late Dr, Weston in his “Genesis of the New Testament" says that the Jewish Sabbath was the one peculiar and distinctive ordinance of the na- tion. Other nations practiced circum- gcision and had temples. offered sacri- ‘ fices and performed religious rites. but the Sabbath was the Jewish national flag. In it they claimed a, peculiar rela- l tion to God as their Creator. Redeemer laud Rest. and. if by this man‘s treat- 1 ment of their Sabbath they are to be deprived of their distinction from other nations. what is the use of being God’s people? Considering this, it is not so surprising that the immediate occa- sion of the determination by the Jew- ish rulers to put Christ to death, as stated in all the gospels. was His rela- tion to the Sabbath. He claimed to be greater than Solomon or the temple or the Sabbath (Matt. xii, 6, 8. 42). but they would not so receive Him. They honored Him with their lips, but their heart was far from Him (lsa. xxix. 13; Ezek. xxxiii. 31; Matt. xv, 7, 8). They had a form of worship without any power. Jehovah, whom they professed to worship. was in their midst. and they knew Him not. I The record of today's lesson, two I l Matthew says that as the disciples passed through the corntields they were hungry, and Luke says that they rubbed the ears of corn in their hands and did eat. Our Lord Himself was an hungered on other occasions. as re- corded in Matt. iv. 2; xxi. 18. Concern- ing Israel it is written that He suffered them to hunger (Deut. viii. 3). but it was to prove them and teach them. The wicked are ever watching the righteous and seeking to slay them (Ps. xxxvii, 3‘2). and here they are finding fault and condemning the dis- ciples, and the Lord. too. because they knew Him not, nor the Scrip- tures. which they professed to rever- ence. He referred them to their own Scriptures. saying. “Have ye never read what David did when he had need and was an hungered? (Verse 25.) There is no word of condemnation here for David and his followers. He came not to condemn. but to show mercy. hence His quotation from the prophets in Matthew‘s record. "I will have mercy and not sacrifice" (Matt. xii. 7; Hos. vi. 6). The rest of the verse in Hosea says that the knowlâ€" edge of God is better than burnt oh‘er‘ ing. The primary idea in sacrifice is that God gives to us. not that we give to Him. for in the first sacrifice the Lord gave to Adam and Eve redemp' tion clothing which He Himself proâ€" vided. a foreshadowing of Christ lov« ing the church and giving Himself for it. purchasing'it with His own blood. We cannot give anything to God nor offer Him acceptable service until we have received mercy from Him as the One who saves sinners. Before ever sin entered this world God set apart one day in seven as a time when man might be free from all work and give himself up wholly to becoming ac- quainted with God. for there is noth- ing that can compare with knowing God (Jer. ix.\23. 24). The Lord of the Sabbath gave to man in His own im- age a day on which He might special- ly bless him by the revelation of him- self as the source of all’ being and blessing and life and love and peace. The man in the synagogue with the withered hand was strongly suggestive of the condition of the nation and of their inability to do anything for God until they would accept His mercy. In the record. in Matt. xii. ll. 12. He uses the illustration of the necessity of rescuing a sheep from a pit. even on the Sabbath day. but He speaks . of the owner of the sheep doing this. saying. “What’man shall have one lsheep.” not see a sheep. He loved ' these wayward sheep. He came to give them life. He was as ready to heal Vuvâ€" --â€"v- them as He was to restore that wither- ed hand. but they would not let Him, and the hardness (or blindness'margin) of their hearts was a grief to Him. Note the cry from His heart concern- ing them. “We would not.” “We will not," “If thou hadst known" (Matt. xxfii. 37: 31:11. 3: John, v, 40: Luke xix. 41. 42). Instead of having any- thing like a penitent spirit. a convic- tion of sin, their proud hearts so rebel- led against Him and His teaching - -_._...-‘ -vv v vâ€"v‘ Him not. they would not have such a one as their Messiah, but the time will come when they anal! say, “Our God." ‘9“ “bunâ€"w- .â€" that they went away and took counsel how they might kill Him.
