Some commercial poultry keepers—successful ones, too --clean the roosts only twice a year, in spring and fall, and aro skeptical of the Arae tical features of any other policy. It as not slovenliness on their part, either. They dispense with dropping - hoards and let the manureaccumulate in a boarded -off space on the ground. Occasionally they throw absorbents on the pile.

Deborah and Barak Deliver Israel— Judges 4: 4-5, 41. Golden Text —Psalm 46: 1. 4: 4-5. New Deborah. The first four verses of the chapter are the intro- duction provided by the editor of the book. They tell us of • the evil -doing of Israel and the oppression of Jabin, king of Hazor, and his. captain; Sisera, whose home was in the northern part of Palestine (see josh. 11: 1-15), and over whose king and people at an earlier time Joshua had won a great had recovered � victory. Now they h power and were using . it against Israel. The historian tells us that the king "mightily oppressed the children of Israel" (4: 3). The Song of Deborah (chap. 5), says, the high ways were unoccupied, and the travel- lers walked through by -ways for fear of ' their enemies; The people, held, miserably in, &tib- jection, lacked food; and they had not even weapotm of war with which to fight their oppressare. Deborah was a prophetess. She was inspired by Jehovali. Because .the people of that` part of the country believed her to be eo inspired they invested her 'with authority. They came up to her for judgment. . Her home was between Itarnall and Bethel, a little to the north'Of leruSalern. 67. Called Barak, Deborah had courage and fettle ifY" God.

The! give a list of pretty names for boys and girls; we want something un- usual. • In your - cutest for something "un- usual," avoid an-usual,"''avoid names that are made up by relatives or friends, and avoid also peculiar spelling of old and, familiar names. In every ease the child's last name should be taken into. consideration, for the given name and the surname should harmonize. 'Choose carefully before going outside the realm of such good 'old standbys as Margaret,, Elizabeth, John and Ed- ward, which combine well with most family names. A well-chosen name is an asset not to be overlooked, for eitherthe sight or the sound of it makes a pleasing impression, often paving the way to pleasant or advantageous things, while an a ;tame maybecome a b suxd n handicap; sometimes a veritable bur- den.

Therefore, she called Barak, whose home was in the north, near the Jordan river and the lake of Hulah, and who, no doubt, had been one of those to suffer, most at the hands of the Canaanite enemy. "Deborah" means a "bee," and "Bar- ak," "a flash of lightning." This cam-. binatien of the bee and the lightning gave promise of a stinging " blow against the oppressor. The busy activity of the woman, her • wis- dom and resource, and . the strength, determination and lightn- ing -like swiftness of the man, made for victory. . Mount Tabor, at the north-east end of the plain of Esdraelon, was chosen as the rallying point. Barak was bidden to call the tribesmen of Zebulon and Naphtali, over whom he had already some in- fluence and authority. The chosen battleground is the banks of the river Kishon, always treacherous in times of flood but well known to the mesa of Israel. Deborah's instructions to Barak are g':ven as the word of Jehovah,. 8-9. If Thou Wilt Go With Me. Barak didnot lack courage, but he saw with a soldier's • understanding the magnitude and peril of the enter-. prise. If this woman of vision and of faith, through whose. lips Jehovah spoke to him, would but go. with him, then he felt assured of Jehovah's blessing and so of success. Deborah's answer was prompt and spirited, "I will surely go." But, she said, the honor of the enterprise wily go to a woman. 10-11. At His Feet, that is, "after him." With his little army of ten thousand men, ill-equipped but stimu- lated to enthusiasm and daring by the presence of theheroic he oic woman who promised victory, Barak marched `tio Tabor. 12-13. They Told : Sisera: Nothing is said ofthe king's participation in the battle. Sisera appears to have put great dependence upon his chariots, but owing to the marshy nature of' the country and the river noon's fnere • were probably of little use. The He- brews had no chariots -until the time of David (2 'Sane, 8:4).'The c'haricit` had a light wooden body, open behind, a single stout axle with two six to, eight spoked wheels. Vie ,pole was fixed into the airle, beret up in front; and fastened by a band of leather to the front of the chariot. Two horses were harnessed to it; or rather yoked, for traces were tat used, Ia Sisera's chariot* of iron the woodwork was probably strengthened by metal plates. Two or eonietimes three men were Assigned to each chariot, one of whom was the driver, a second the shield -'bearer, and the third, the fighting mean armed with bow and sp ear. 14-16. This Is the Day . . Is Nat the Lord Gone Out Before Thee? De- borah's faith: was simple, direct and very great. She was led to believe that this was the divinely appointed day, and like Moses and. Joshua, she believed that Jehovah went before the armies of His people into the battle. For among the earliest ideas of the people of 'Israel about Jehovah was this that He was a God of war, fight- ing His people's enemies. "The Lord is a. man' of war," they said, He is "Captain' of the Lord's host;" He is "the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel," "the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in bat- tle." So even in Christian literature, in the imagery of the Apocalypse, Christ is "portrayed as a warrior rid- ing on a white horse to the final con- flict with Anti -Christ" (Rev, 19: 11- 16); The Lord Discomfited Sisera. The battle was fought, no doubt with courage and skill, but it was the in- visible leader who gave the victory. There was a storm, a heavy fall of rain, a swiftly rising flood, and the enemy was caught upon soft and treacherous ground, amid marshes and quicksands. It •seemed that heaven and earth had ,conspired to overthrow and destroy the enemy. it was surely the Lord's doing. The lesson story goes on to tell of the flight of Sisera, and of his murder in the tent of Heber, the Keriite, by Joel, the wife of Heber, a murder which seems shacking'to us but was regarded as justifiable and praise- worthy in the mindg of ;the people of that primitive unitive age (see 5: 24-27). It has taken the 'world a long time to learn the lesson of forgiveness to an enemy and to overcome the passion of revenge and hatred, and not •even yet .is that'great•lesson rightly learn: ed. The student will do well to eom- pare the Song of Deborah with the lesson story, and to notice its intens- ely, its passion, its grapivic puwui, -•ul. its dramatic 'qualities which fend expression in successive vividly pre - limited scenes, proceeding rapidly to a climax in which the tidings of defeat and death reach the mother of Sisera and her eompanions, who are eagerly looking through the latticed windows for the return of the victors. A ',well -kept woodlot or a plantation of forest trees on the deep rockyp ox- tions of the fame will help maks the place more attractive.

The way lay through a cheery hart of the city, down, a long hill. Masi, plots and flower beds bordered thepath and sonizetxnes little children played among them. The sunlight flashed an arrow of gold down the incline, and I . could see a child alone, sitting upon the • pavement. Apparently he was most latent. ' Ilia hands were busy and hie sunny head bent close over his under- taking.. As soon 'as I approached he seemed to realize my presence, though he was .too busy to look up until I was quite close to him. He was very smallt brown -eyed, and very winsome. His hand grasped a piece of crayon and as his eyes critically surveyed his drawing on the walk, he said, in. eluding me now within his glance: "I've made another kind of an 'Ss." "So you have," I replied, but the questioning look in his eyes made Ise inquire; "What troubles you?" "It's -it's another -kind," he replied uneasily. Before him was a well - drawn letter -"S" about a foot high, exexcuted with the swinging stroke of a strong and skillful arm; beside it executed with the swinging stroke of the letter. He saw the difficult curve '# to the left, but he could not make its so turned to me for help. • "Shall I finish: it?" I asked. With a sigh of relief he yielded the crayon. "Who made this one for you?" "A span," he answered. Evidently he was acquiring his instruction as the opportunity permitted. "There!" he cried with •satisfaction when I made the required stroke. "There it is! "How old are you?" I ventured, for he looked too little to be concernedwith difficult curves. "Most three, I think," he said. Later I learned from his proud lit- tle mother that he knew "nearly all of his letters," and that he had learned the letter "5" soon after he was two Years old. An unusual child? Yes, but with greater possibilities come graver re- sponsibilities. , Parents soinetimes fail to that the young child needs widely ur led activity and constant direction to awaken and broaden his interest rather than. the over -stiff ` latic - which induces him to "go fe' 4vithi te some one kind of play. The ordinary interests of a three- year-old boy lead him to convert the dining room ehairs • into horses, or the sofa into an automobile, He first takes an interest in things that move, then in things that make a noise. By imitating in his play the life about him, a child unconsciously develops some understanding of it; then when one phase of activity ceases to inter- est him, he turns to another to "play" that while his interest lasts. The young chikt is- tremendously alert, vital, experimenting at life first- hand: LIVING! For most of them ex- perience must be the great education- al factor. Froebel appreciated this fact and chose the windmill with its attractive motion as a symbol of the child's experimental interest. The wise parent always avoids ex- tremes with even the "most unusual" three-year-old; but has care far his normal development, since that is the raost urgent need for Iittle folks. Encourage the experiments of children, but never force them; let thein keep trying. It Pays to Plan Your Work. In present times of high production cost, many farmers are finding that it pays to re -arrange their farms with regard to economy and efficiency of operation. It has been noted in a number of cases that well -arranged farms have brought a higher price on the market, particularly where there is easy access to the fields from build- ings and highways. It takes an aver- age of 58 work hours to produce an acre of corn on rectangular fields, containing 10 to 15 acres, while the time required in irregular fields of the same area was 61 hours. Where tractors and large horse-drawn im- plements are used, the advantages of the long and regular shaped fields are very evident. Many farmers are now draining wet epots, removing trees, stumps andbr brush, and straightening fences so as to make their farming operations easier. In the olden days it didn't matter if it took a few inorerdw hours to do a certain jet). With the present scarcity and cost of tarns labor it does.
