The tire', feyv years of our married lifwe kept a flock of mongrel hens. My husband, would frequently say: "These hens don't pay for the grain they eat." As with most fermers' Wives, the chickens were my only source of pin money, so I did not like to have them criticized. Upon further investigating the matter I was convinced that his statement was only too true, so I de- cided to make the chicken business paying propositton or quit it alto- gethee. , I clipped all the poultrar notes I comd fled in the farm magazines and supplied myself with pamphlets per - taining to poultry from the agricul- tural college, also some good poultry books.

It attacks cabbage, cauli- flower, radishes, turnips and rape, and sometimes even celery, beets and beans. A .pampin'et on root maggots and •their control, distributed by the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, gives the meth- ods of protection against this pest. The adults are small flies, smaller and more slender than the common house fly, but resembling it, considerably. In early spring they fly _close to the ground and deposit small, white, elongate eggs, which hatch in a few days into small white maggots, which at once 'burrow down into the soil, enter the roots or bulbs and destroy them. In Most sections of Canada few eggs are laid before the middle of May in a normal season, although on the Pacific Coast they are gen- erally raid considerably earlier. According to •the pamphlet -the most efficient method . of controlling the tnaggots is the corrosive sublimate is used to ten gallens of water. It shoUld be applied liberally to the stem and roots of each plant at week- ly intervals from the fourth day after egg laying has begun. At least two treatments in the spring or early 'simmer are necessary, but throe are tenerally advisable. • Quick Hot Water Supply. Ordinarily one can get no hot water from a hot water boiler con- • nected with a kitchen stove until the entire tank has become heated. Here • way to- get it as fast as it heats In the coil inside the stove, which means almost' as soon as the .kitchen • fire is lighted. `Cut the pipe that carries the hot water from the stove to the outside - boiler. Make this cut near the stove • and insert a tee, into which screw a faucet. It is necessary then only to • turn this faucet to obtain the boiling • water as fast as it heats. A plumber will not charge much for making this alteration; but any man who is handy about such things will not find Ft difficult to do -himself. • " Rhubarb may be a lowly vegetable, it it cair brighten up 'the spring menu wonderfully.

I did not }rnve xnuch read- ing, so would read while rocking the baby. The first question I had to decide was what breed of hens to keep. For these reasons I decided to keep the Leghorns: 1. Five Leghorns can be efficiently housed in the same amount of space as three hens of the dual-purpose type. 2. The Leghorns require less feed per head than the larger breeds. 3. The Leghorns make a profitable return for three or four laying years, against two laying years for the heavier breeds.. 4. The Leghorn pullets commence laying when about five months old, instead of seven months for the pul- lets of the dual-purpose type. • SELECTED LEGHORNS I chose the Single Comb White Leghorns because they are larger and showier than the Brown or I3uff Leg-. horns. I sold part of the flock I had at that time to supply myself with money to get started with the pure- bred fowls. We were living on a rented farm that had no suitable place for run- ning an incubator, and as my means were limited I could not afford to inve4t in an incubator and incubator house,. so I decided to buy baby chick's. I scanned the iribultry ad- vertisements in the farm papers and sent for several catalogifes. Finally I ordered 150 purebred 'Single Comb White Legliorh baby chicks from a heavy egg -laying flock. They arrived in good condition. • I had neither brooder nor brooder house, so had to contrive a home- made fireless brooder. I lost about one third of those chicks with white diarrhea. I attributed- the loss to chilling.. However, when fall came I had about fifty of the finest pul- lets hi the neighborhood, and for the first time got eggs during the winter months. • The next spring we moved to a farm -which had a good brooder house and I purchased a heater and hover, which is still giving. satisfactory re - silts. I take great care in feeding and managing the growing stock, for a stunted chick very seldonmakes a profitable hen. , As our henhouee is small, and I found from experience that crowd- ing does not pay, I usually keep about 150 hens. 1 ahn to raise enough pullets each summer so that I can sell most of the three-year-old hens each fall. The culls are included -in this bunch, as even the bestof stock possesses some culls. - I sent to the agrioultural college and the Department of -.A.griculture for pamphlets on culling hens,. and also obtained what information I could elsewhere. I studied it and practiced it until I would not take a back seat for any but the best pro- fessional poultry cullers. I not only give my hens a thorough culling each fall but also watch them closely and do some Gulling the year around. This means quite a saving, as tile Slacker hens cut down the profits. In feeding I also practice economy. I'd° not mean by this that I slight the hens in the :east, but try to feed well-balanced ration. I feed the !Trains we an buy the cheapest, inak- iii substitutos as the prices c arige, and use my own tommon sense in applying suggestions offered in vari- ous articles on poultry feeding.

They leash the boiled oats best and the boiling roftens the hulls, so that the ehickens have no trouble in digesting them, In • the winter I .feed them'while they , aro etill warm. To encourage exer- else I 'feed a small amount of wheat in straw litter and corn on the ear, ,1 keep a dry mash before my hens at all tinies. It usually consists of wheat middlings, commonly called shorts, and the best grade of digester tankage. 1 feed it in the proportioe , of ten parts Shorts and one part tankage, with the addition of a little fine table salt., •INCREASE THE TANKAGE When feeding core 1 increase the amount of tankage. About three times a week I moisten some of the dry mash with a little water or milk and feed it in the evening about an hour before their regular feeding , time. I always do the feeding my- self and always feed regularly. My greatest problem is eupplyine, the hens with green feed in the win- ter time:I steam the leaves of alfalfa ' hay for them. This provides them with succulence and is a source of considerable protein. I feed potato! Parings and some of the smaller po- tatoes chopped fine. These must be , fed soon. after cutting, as they grow talo and lose feeding value quickly. In the, summer the chickens have free range and do not lack for green feed. • Plenty of fresh water and oyster shell is kept before my chickens at all times. Oceasionally, I buy a little river sand which containa great deal of gravel, and give them free access to it. One of the most common causes of failure in the poultry business is diseaee. PreventiOn is better than cure, as a sick chicken very sialdora gets well. Cleanliness is the best prevention of disease. I keep the poultry -house and yards clean by the removal of manure and refu4. I rid the henhouse of mites by spraying occasionally with a strong dip applied with a bucket spray pump. By the use of old galvanized washtubs, wash boilers, bushel . and half -bushel measures for nests, and boards Jane' posts with' very few cracks and crevices for roosts, the mites have fewer harboring places. • For lice control I use the blue oint- ment treatment twice a year. I keep the feed troughs and drinking ves- sels clean by frequent scrubbings. I watch my flock closely, and if I notice a droopy bird I isolate it at once. II it shows symptoms'of a contagious disease I kill it and give it a post- mortem examination. I either burn or bury the dead fowls. Plasters and liniments will do the hack no good, for they cannot reach the kidneys whica cause the trouble. SEPARATE THE PULLETS ago reach the kidneys themselves, as they are a special remedy for the kidneys, and the kidneys only. They banish all the pains and aches by making the • kidneys false out all the poisons from the spawn. Your druggist or dealer sells them; put up only by The T, Milburn Co., t4mited, Toronto, Out. Since buying baby chicks each spring I do not keep male birds, thus saving feed and housing room. I sell most of the cockeiels at market price when they weigh about two pounds. The remainder I pen by themselves and keep for fries. By this method I reduce the feed bill considerably and the hens and pullets do much better when not molested by the male birds. Also the inferttle eggs* keep better during the hot • Occasionally I find a broody hen on the nest. I pen her in an •airy cram, and feed her inn -heat -produc- ing deed and plenty of fresh water. Biddy soon decides to begin laying again. • The hens are inclined to be bossy and the pullets timid, and I think the pullets will lay better if housed by themselves. I can accomplish this by convertinwa vacant hog shed into a henhouse and by using the two buildings can -increase my flock to about 200 birds this fall. We purchased an SO -acre farm re- cently, and, as soon as our finances permit, intend to build a mOdern hen- house large enough to accommodate at least 300 hens. We have no available market for graded eggs, so I sell them at the regular market price. This saves me time and labor, which 1s a matter of importance, as .1 have a multitude of household duties to perform each day,' besides caring fbr my ,chickens. Instead of getting eggs only in the spring and early summer, as 'I did when T. kept mongrel hens, I now have eggs to gather the, year around and the income from my hens keeps out family of five in food, clothing and incidentals, .

Esau is the more sensual, a creaturo of appetite, seeking always the im- mediate good, caxelees and improvi- dent as regards the future. Jacob is the =life spiritual, shrewd, provi- dent, far-seeing, and ainbitious. ' ISAAC'S BLESSING AND JACOB'S DECEIT, 27:1-40. It Se8MS to have been a recognized diatom, that the patriarch, before his death, should bestow a blessing upon his sons and successors. • The bless.; Ing must have been regarded as hav- ing peculiar value and importance, and, perhaps, as designating the place and rank which each shoild held after his death. It may have been that Isaac had not heard of, or had disregarded, the selling of Esau's birthright to Jacob, for he quite evi- dently intended to give Esau the greater blessing. The blessing, when given, was regarded as irrevocable, ..and as prophetic Of the future. IL . JACOB'S DEPARTURE FOR • HARAN, 27:41 to28:9,. Two reasons are given for Jacob's departure: (1) that he may escape she wrath of Esau, who has declared his intention to kill him, and (2) that, like his father, and -unlike Esau, he may get a wife of his own kinsfolk. The story of the blessing of Jacob in 28:1-4 is probably from a different source from that told in chap. 27, and supplements it. So also the brief account 'of Jacob's journey in 28:5 is supplemented by the longer and more detailed narrative in our print- ed lesson. III. JACOB'S VISION AT BETHEL, 28:10-22. Toward Hagan would be in a gen- eral northern direction. The distance to be traveled would be between four and five hundred miles. Whether jamb had traveling companions or not, we are not told. • One of the stones, It is not an un- common' thing for an Arab traveler or tent -dweller to use a stone for a pillow. A. /adder. Near Beitin, a small village on the site of the ancient Bethel, there is a hill which rises in steps, or terraces, of stone to its top. It- may- be that this -shaped itself fir Jacob's dream into a ladder, or stair- way, rising up to heaven. Ryle (Cam- bridge Bible) suggests , that it may have "resembled the ascent to Baby- lonian and Assyrian temples, in which the shrine Or sanctuary on the summit was reached by steps leading through seven terraces." - The angels of God (compare 32:1), are sometinies described in the Old Testament as an armed host watch- ingover God's servants. See 2 Kings 6:17, Psalm 34:7, 68:17. Here they are shown as holding communication between earth and heaven. The Lord stood above it and repeat- ed the covenant promise made to Abraham and to Isaac. To this young man in his first loneliness, Con- scious yet unrepentant of a great wrong done to his brother, there comes this gracious vision. God does not abandon the wrongdoer. His promise is, Behold, I am with thee. God will yet lead him to repentance and acknowledgement of the wrong. His purpose through him for Israel and for the world must be fulfilled. The Lord is in this place. Jacob is learning that the God whom he serves, and who is watching over him, though he knew it net, is not confined to one place; but is in all places the same. He, therefore, calls this place Bethel, which means in He- brew "Hots° of God." He sets up the stone upon which -is head had rested, and makes of it a sacred p11 - tar, pouring oil upon it as an offer- ing toJecGod. Jacob mooed a yew. The yew makes reference to God's promise made to him in his dream. If God will really be with him, and keep him, and give him food and raiment, and bring him back again in peace, then he will ,recognize him as his God, he .will make this place a sena- tua.ry, and he will give to God a tenth of all that he receives. There is a flavor of bargaining in this vow, characteristic of Jacob, but, never- theless, there is recognition of the leading and care of God and of his own consemeent duty and obligation, I CARE OF TABLE LINEN MAKES ITS BEAUTY LAST When laundering clothes, one of the important things to be remem- bered ftboet linen is that the flax, of which it IS made, is a very pole. nus material. Each thread in the sloth is somewhat like a spenge in that it will abeerle water very readily, • but its pores are so mach mailer Ithan those of the sponge that it is riot easy to express all the water I absorbed, and if the liquid is not per- ' featly clean, the tiny pores retein'the minute particles that gave the water its color, LINEN MUST BE WASHED ALONE Linen is put through e. long, slaw, tedious process at the bleachery,to take from it everything that will prevent its being • dazzlin.g white ivben it is first spread upon our tables. And for lack of sensible care in just one washing,. all the gook gained from the expeasive process of bleaching niay go for nothing. Put in with the rest ofo the soiled white clothes in the family waeh, the por- ous strands will soak up all the dirty water they can absorb, and what was formerly a spread of daz- zling whitenese will emerge from, the process clisa,ppointingly grimy and unattraotive. That is the reason why linen should be washed by itself, in clean suds, and rinsed in several clear waters that have been used for noth- ing else. If the cloth is very much soiled, several dippinge beforehand, each time in plenty of clear, fresh water. in which borax has been dis- • solved, will be a great help, but the cloth should not be allowed to soak even a short...time until the water in • whieh it was dipped looks quite clean, Then it is safe to leave the cloth half an hoer or so in suffi- cient fresh Water to cover it gen- erously, and in which about a table- spoonful of borax has been dissolved. Wash quickly in fresh, clean suds, WHEN MING OUT TO DRY. ! A linen tablecloth is best dried on the grass in the sunshine. However, it should never be allowed to become drier than is necessary in order to Iran it ideal.. If allowed to become thoroughly dry, there form in this material creases that become so set that it is next to impossible to get them Oat before the next washing. So a linen cloth should be watched, brought in when just right to iron, and pressed immediately. When linen meet be hung on a line te dry, the best way is to bring two corners of the cloth together arid lay them over a wash cloth, or some other thick, small Piece, on the line, place a similar et -ii ver the coenera and, with the elothes pin, fasten in parto the fem. thicitneeses of ma- terial. Repeat the process with the other two corners of the cloth, etretehing the edges so the linen will wrinkle as little es peesible. Fasten the folded edges sineilarly at one PT two places between the, pins Already in position to help relieve the strain of the wet linen, at the corners. BLEACHING LINEN Freezing is one of the best methods of bleaching linen in the winter, but a frozen tablecloth roust be handled very carefully. Folcling the material when it is stiff from the cold will snap in two many a the fibres and so weaken others that the wear fit the cloth will be considerably ehortened. If a cloth freezee to the line, pour a little hot water where necessary in order to remove it, The action of the sunshine on the acid le buttermilk has long been recognized as another excellent bleach for linen. Our grandmothers used to soak their homespun from 15 to 20 tirnefi in buttermilk, each time spreading the heavy wet len.gths out on the grass in the sunshine to bleach. Lacking buttermilk, the modern housewife sprinkles the cloth well 'with water each time if; is arta and leaves it to dry again in the sunshine as many times as is con- venient. The last time this is done, she wrings the cloth out after int- nsersing it in warm water—to get rid of all wrinkles—then lets it dry enough to be in a good condition for ironing, and presses it immediately. The expert really "presses," she does not iron her linen. This is the method by vvhich those country- women overseas bring out all the rich beauty of their linens and pre- serve tbe rn,aterial so that lovely tablecleths are handed down as heir- looms from one generaan to an- other. As everybody knows, it is while the cleth is being washed and ironed that it endures the most wear, not while it lees in a drawer or is even spread over the table. So those women who treasure their linens press them with long, even strokes with a cold iron—something the hustling woman finds it hard to do •because it takes one well over an - hour to do a small cloth by this method. But the reward is an ap- pearance in the linen that can be obtained in no other way; as if it were fresh from the loora, with the Pattern standing out in. bold !relief against the satin sheen of the rest of the material. WILD STRAWBERRIES BY HELEN M. WHITNEY Mabel and Line had quarreled. And the tears came info !duel's Neither of them could quite tell eyes. She raised herself Oil the bed, and looked out of the open window to- ward the fresh, green woods and hills. As she did so, she caught a glimpse of.Lina, with a basket in her hand, walking slowly down the path acmes the glade. "She's going after the strawbeerice. now," thought Mabel, sadly; and thou she wondered if Line. would not give her one—just one --of the bright scar- • let berries, if she asked her. "I'll watch till she comes back," thought Mabel, "ana get mother to go out and ask her for one." So Mabel lay, with her face toward the window, watching the path by which Line. would come on her way home. S'he watched for •a long time, but last she fell asleep. It was late in the afternoon when she awoke, end the shadows thrown by the tall trees had grown very long, and were still stretching ott toward the setting sun. A cat -bled had perched on a hop - vine, near the house, and was sing- ing hi$ evening song. Mabel had been dreaming about the strawber- ries. Her dream was so vived she almost fancied she could smell the luscious fruit.M "Mabel, are you awake?" asked her 'nether. And opening •her eyes, Mabel saw, not only her mother, but Line!. Lina -,with sunburnt cheeks, and berry - stained fingers, and in her hand a -little -willow basket, heaping full of ripe, scrodet strawberries! 7 1 "I didn't eat a single one, Mabel," sh,e said, kissing the sick girl's cheek., "but saved 'em every one tor yeul" Arid the' bl the pear - tree peeped out of her nest, and twit- te ied soft' y to herself, as Line trip- ped gaily through the clover, with the empty baekte in her hand.
