Q MAKING MONEY WITH F!?ifwrrT Prame Used to Protect Feed of Small Government Poultry 'Prepared liy the I'nllfil StnU-s l part-' ment of Agriculture.) A recent fanners' bulletin (No. (521) Issued by tho United States depart ment of agriculture, entitled "Natural and Artificial Brooding of Chickens." contains some Interesting suggestions regurdlng tho feeding of young chick ons. Tho accompanying figure Illus trates u. frame cover with wire netting to protect feed of young vhicku from the older fowls. Young chickens should bo fed from three to ftvo times dally, depending upon one's experience in feeding. Un doubtedly chickens can b grown fast er by feeding five times dully than by feeding throo times dally, but it should be borne in mind that moro harm can be dono to the young chick ens by overfeeding than by under feeding, and at no time should they bo fed moro than barely to satisfy their appetites and to keop them exercis ing, except at the evening or last meal, when they should bo given nil they will eat. firenter care must bo exer cised not to overfeed young chicks that are confined than thoso that havo freo range, as leg weakness 1b liablo to result in thoso confined. Farmers who havo no experience In hog raising but who wish to start a herd on their farms are urged by tho United States department of agricul ture to make haste slowly. It will bo real economy, they say, if tho begin ner can secure tho advice and assist ance of an experienced breeder. Whether he succeeds in this or not, ho should stnrt with a small herd. Five sows will be enough for the first year if these are really good animals. The chief points to bo desired in a brood bow are Bet forth in farmers' bulletin 205 of the United States de partment of agriculture, published un der tho title of "Pig Measurement." The sows selected should bo nearly tho same age and uniform in type. The forehead should, be broad between the eyes, tho throat clean nnd trim, tho neck moderately thin nnd the shoul ders smooth and deep; tho back should bo fairly wide and straight, and amplo Head of Herd of Duroc Jerseys. ,'oom for tho vital organs should bo provided by a good width aud depth of chest, well-sprung ribs and straight, deep sides a deep, capacious bod., from end to end. Depth of chest aud sides uro specially Important in n brood cot,-. Pinched chests and waists 'siust bo avoided. Brood sows should, of course, show quality, but this should not becomo overreflned and delicate. Extremes of refinement usually lead to delicacy of constitution and often accompany sterility. The selection of tho hour 1b oven moro important thun that of the sows. It Is possiblo to obtain success from the uso of a good boar with inferior sows, but nothing but disaster can pos sibly como from tho uso of an Inferior boar with sows of high quality. Ono method raises tho standard of tho herd, tho other lowers it. If, ub is apt to bo the case, the farmer's herd at the beginning is not of sufficient slzo to Justify buying a high-grade boar for his excluslvo use, it will bo far better for him to join with his neighbors in obtaining ono in common, then to at tempt to get results from an inferior nnlmal. One boar can servo fifty or sixty sows n seayon, so that co-operation will bo found profitable In u great majority of instances. A boar with strongly developed masculine characteristics should bo se lected, preferably as a yearling, or else as a pig that has been purchased at tho same time as the sown and al lowed to como to maturity beforo be ing used. He should have a strongly masculine head and a well-crested neck. Ills shoulders should bo de veloped according to age; but shields on the ehouldors In pigs under a year ,or eighteen months aro objectionable. Tho samo indications of a good pork producing carcuss that tho sows re quired should bo seen In tho boar a broad, straight, deeply flosliod back, much depth and length of side, and well-doveloped hind quarters. Tho boar should bo selected to correct any de fects that may bo common to tho sows, for oxamplo, If tho bows aro rather coarso In bono and loosely uuui.hj3l ftiiLiiiiiiiiiiiiiiLVakiiflBLibLflEiat 4f - - jflHBHB t! i ism . tssWssssBtVV v'R'" 'VSMOTV' KZ3RHVHsVBHBisHtMKcKBi1isiiiiHiiK aV.uk.

This se lection should bo madn as early at possiblo. Ono celebrated breeder used to select his show lambs nnd cnlvct when they wero three doys old. This, of course, Is unusual, but tho decision should not be delayed any longer than Is absolutely necessary. No animals should bo selected for breeding pur poses except for good reasons and unless tho breeder Is quite suro that ho Is right In his selection. RAISING THE COLT BY HAND Youngsters Should Be Fed Cow's Milk Weakened With Water Mixture Should Be Sweetened. (ny w. D KHALll) An orphan colt can bo raised by hand successfully if a llttlo care is taken.) It should bo fed on cow's milk, but tho cow should bo fresh if possible. Do not feed tho milk nt Its normal strength, but weaken with one-third water that is, to two parts milk put ono part warm water. Tho mixture should bo sweetened a llttlo with sugar and given when about tho temperature of a mare's milk. At the end of two weeks the quan tity of water may gradually be re duced and tho amount of milk in creased until tho water is left off al together. Don't forget to sweeten tho milk at all times. Whenever possiblo tho milk should bo given immediately after milking it from tho cow. If it is dozlrod, a freBh egg may bo added threo times a day. It will bo a strengthenor and will mako tho colt's1 hair sleek and glossy. Tho quantity of milk given should bo governed by ono's judgment. Somo colts requlro moro than others, but bo careful not to overfeed, for tho colt may get tho scours. Until tho colt is n month old It will bo necessary to feed it threo or four times each day. To teach tho colt to drink from a pall is not a very great taBk. Put your finger in his mouth and Ipwcr your band Into tho milk. Ho will got a tasto of tho milk aud soon you can slip your finger from his mouth and ho will proceed without you. If ho proves obstinate, wrap a gooso quill with a strip of cloth and uso it as a nipplo In a bottlo or purchase a nip ple from tho drug storo. Good caro must be taken of tho pall from which tho colt drinks. It bhould bo scalded each time it is used. Never uso sour or skim milk, it you would avoid bowel troubles. Glvo clean water between feeds. Let him run In tho yard, and Boon ho will bo nipping tho green grass. After a whllo ho will bo eating dry bran from your hand if you put a llttlo sugar In it. Soon you will bo ablo to focd him somo grain and thon your hardest work Is over. PoultpyNotes IkSfob, V &m, 1 Roots of all kinds can bo fed cooked or raw, but they should bo chopped lino. Tho legs of dressed poultry when shipped to market should bo perfectly clean. By "largo roaBtor" 1b meant a plump, soft chicken, weighing about four or fivo pounds. Always turn tho heads of tho birds back undor tho wings in packing dressed poultry. When tho mornings aro cold, take tho chill off tho drinking water, but do not mako it warm. s During tho months of April, May and Juno tho highest prices aro paid for a first-class soft roaster.

O. 8KI..M3H8, ActliiR Director ot Sunday School Course Moody llllilo Iiw stltute, Clilrngo.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 24 GIDEON AND THE THREE HUN. DRED. I,1:RS0N TICXT-JiiiIrcs 7:1-8. 1G-23. OOl.nr.N THXT-Not by mlKht, nor by power, but by my Spirit, snlth Jehovah of hosts. Koch. 4:C. U. V. This was tho period of Israel's transition from a nomadic to an ag ricultural life. Tho record wo havo is an nltornato succession of Idolatry nnd subjugation with a return to Je hovah and to liberty. I. "Gideon and All the People," vv. 1-8. Hnllylng about him his clansmen Gideon chose n position nt tho spring of Hnrod nenr Jezreel, his back to Mt. Gilhoa and the Mldlntiltca to the north next to Mt. Moreh. Ho thus con trolled tho fords of tho Jordan and could prevent tho enemy from return ing to their homes In tho desert coun try. Outwardly tho great discrepancy of numbers mado tho situation look dubious for Israel, but In reality the danger was that tho army woa toe large, slnco when tho victory wne gained they might "vaunt themselves." Individuals and churches usually count their Btrcngth according to num bers. (Soo II Cor. 12:9.) If wo desire God'B strength It must bo ns wo our selves aro weak (Isa. 40:29). God 1b sometimes limited by having too many nnd not enough of tho right sort. When God delivers ho loaves no room for boasting (Eph. 2:8, 9; Rom. 3:27). God can save as well by tho few as by tho many (I Samuel 14:C), and fre quently uses tho weak and despised things to confound tho mighty (I Cor. 1:27, 28), that "no flesh should glory in his presence" (I Cor. 1:29). Thetfe wero two tests whereby Gideon wos to select his warriors: (1) "Go to, proclaim . . . whosoovor is fearful . . . let him return" (v. 3). It te not well to crltlclzo too sovcroly the 22,000 who returned; oven In tho Gar den not only Peter, but all the disci ples forsook tho Master and fled. God docs not chooso men becauso they are heroes, but to mako heroes ot them by tho power of his might. (2) There Is yet another sifting. God gives Gid eon tho clue (v. 4), viz., to decldo by their method of drinking. Thoso who drank "aa a dog lappeth," were thoBe not to bo taken off guard even wnllt drinking. II. Gideon's Second Assurance, w. 9-15. It was absurd, humanly speak ing, for 300 men to expect to defeat! 135,000. God "strengthened" Gideon (v. 11). Gideon and Phurab, at God's; command, entered tho valley and drew near tho Midianlto host. Avoiding tho guard, if any, they drew near enough; to hear a man telling his dream td "his follow." Tho latter Interprets; this as nothing olso than tho "sword of GIdeort" (v. 14). Gideon worshiped God nnd nt onco returned to arouse tho camp of Israel. III. The Sword of the Lord and of' Gideon, vv. 16-23. In nil probability theso men wore their usual weapons as soldiers and enrried food for their uso in pursuing tho enemy. Howovor, for this midnight attack thoy needed only threo weapons, lnmps, pltchors nnd trumpets. Each of theso havo a spiritual suggestion for tho Christian. (Beo Matt. 25:4; Ps. 119:105; also II Cor. 4:G, 7, and Ezok. 33:3, 6; I. Cor. 14:8.) Gideon's stratagem of dividing his men into three companies and then as tho pitchers aro broken to blow tho trumpet caused a lively panic among tho Midlanttes. That Gideon had faith and courago In himself, and in tho word of Jehovah, is suggested in his words, "Look' on mo and do likewise." Wo aro to look to tho "cap tain of our salvation" (Hob. 13:2) and by our lives of obedience provo tho devotion of our llfo (John 15:14, 14:21). As already suggested, thero wero probably no defenses surround ing tho enemy nnd in tho darkness Gideon and his men easily approached tho camp. It Is easy to lmnglno tho scene the midnight hour, tho army suddenly awakened by a deafening shout, tho blasts of trumpets, tho 300 torches flashing forth amid tho crash of earthenwaro, and all of this In tlenso darkness. Tho Mldlanltcs in tho confusion turned their weapons against ench other and flod toward tho Jordan and into tho regions be yond toward tho desert. Others fol lowed by tho ten thousand, fleeing to ward Succoth nnd Penuel. Wo of thlB day havo our wars and battles against tho wrongs, tho principalities and powers of ovll, which aro around us and within us. Such battles re quire the samo courago, and skill, and conBocrution of ourselves, as did tho wars of thoso ancients against tho enemies that threatened tho very ex iBtenco ot tho people of God. God's work in this world Is often ' done by a few persons who have had a vision of him, who have grown In character and devotion, and who uso tho slmplo weapons of lamps, pitchers and trumpets, oven ns that small com pany of ono hundred and twenty on tho day of Pentecost, filled with tho Spirit of God, led tho forces which ultimately overthrew Invincible Homo.
