Corn for seed should not be chosen When going over the hens in the late fall to eliminate the undesirable breeders, there are a number of deâ€" finite things that we should look for. First of all, it should be the purâ€" pose, in examining the birds, to be wure that they are physically fit; in other words, that they show no signs of disease, either past or present, which would incapacitate them as fuâ€" ture layers and breeders. The eyes should be examined careâ€" tully for evidences of roup and colds. The inside of the mouth and throat should be examined for evidences of canker. The general fleshing of the birds should be determined to see that they are holding up well in weight.

We must always remember that it is the standardâ€"bred birds which posâ€"| sess production qualitiee for which there is the greatest demand and the most profit. t When looking over these hens, all of which are superior birds, because they have stood the test of an allâ€"‘ summer culling, be sure to lay special emphasis upon a few very important characters which designate their proâ€" ductive capacity. | Pick those hens, first of all, that have good big bodies with great body capacity ; good width of back, with the width carried well back; a back which is free from large accumulations of E. fat. Be sure and select birds with bodies that are deep, front and rear. Select ones that have large, soft abâ€" domens; large, soft, moist vents, it they are in laying condition ; .ldn‘ which is thin, soft and oily to the touch; pelvic bones which are well apread. ‘ Lastly, do not forget the head.

The Sunday School Lesson ‘The Parable of the Sower, Mark 4: 1â€"20. sower soweth the word.â€"M But on the other hand we see the gradual formation round Jesus, of a new believing society of disciples, who are dearer to Jesus than home and kindred. These believing ones have seceived the "mystery" of the kingâ€" om. This now is the stage marked by the | teaching of the parable of the sower. We might interpret the teaching of this and the other parables in this chapter ‘s follows: Though mnny‘ hearers t®rn away, and refuse to beâ€"; lieve the message of Jesus, this does | not mean that the message is not diâ€"| vine, or that the kingdom will not | ‘come as Jesus has said, Indeed, on | the contrary, God‘s own wisdom is reâ€" ]vealed in the selective process by \which only the fewâ€"those who, like \ the disclsles. are spiritually mindedâ€" \have laid hold of the message. For ‘this is what happens wherever seed is sown. Much of the seed that the farmer scatters yields no return at all. What Jesus therefore says in these parables of the kingdom is that disciples are not to be discouraged. The seed is sown, and the harvest will surely come. x 4 mt Mc uieA We should never be discouraged.\‘ What a fine lesson to lay to heart when we think of the difficulties which lie in the way of the gospel, and of the Christianizing of the world. I. THE SOWER AND THE SEED, 1â€"8, 10â€"14. V. 1. The crowding on the shore makes it necessary for Jesus to preach from a boat, which for this purpose is moored a few yards out on the water.

If a heart is hard or secular, if like the common roadway, it is a mere thors oughfare for worldly thoughts and purposes, the word of the Kingdom has not a chance of taking root. _ Vs. 5, 6. There are hearts which are like "stony,"â€"that is, shallow soil. V. 2. Jesus addressing the multiâ€" tude, used parables, that is, comfi-r- isons or illustrations of divine laws and truths drawn from familiar feaâ€" tures of ordinary every day life. V. 8. The lesson is in short, as we see by v. 14, that Jesus‘ message of the kingdom is the seed from which the actualized life of the kingdom is to proceed. But, like a sower, Jesus needs a soil adapted to the mesang, and not all hearts are of this deâ€" seription. II.
