We Bought Fall Pullets.
We made $244.38 net labor innorne
last year by bilying pullets in the fall
and breeding them for eggs. The care-
ful accounts we kept convince.me that
under similar ,conditions we would do
- the same again.
A purchase of additionaliand left
us with an empty laying house that I
wanted to use. 'So I read the classi-
fied adds in the nearby papers, and
started out with some coops. We
bought five dozen earlSr Brown Leg-
horn hens at 75 cents; 50 pullets (12
Tidies -.farther on) at $1 a head; an-
otherfour dozen at 20 cents a pound;
and ltler 30 Leghorns at $1.26 each.,
Our cir.ef problem was not the price,
but.to est' ,pullets old enough to begin
laYing soon.
The average cost of these pullets
and hens was 90 cents. We soon cull-
ed the flockdown to 150 head. The
November egg yield was 15 per cent.
This we thought good considering that
a, lot of the birds decided to do some
moulting, that their rations and homes
were abruptly changed, and that their
house Was being remodeled.
, In December the yield still stood
around 15 per centbut in January
it began to climb, and' in February
reached '42 per 'Cent. April was the
highest month with 66 per cent. After
that the .flock average continued to
drop off until late in August it was
only 20 per cent.
• Our own pullets were coming into
maturity, so early. in September we
sold the entire purchased flock to
make room for them. We got 12 and
14 cents a pound, selling on an aver-
age for 23 cents less a head than we
had paid ten months before.
Our accounts show that the •150
birds had returned a profit, over cost
of feed, of $278.88, or $244.38 after
deducting the $34.50 loss in selling
price. That was our net labor income.
Considering that the flock was pick-
ed up here and there and, consisted of
birds with no special egg breeding,
with many of them immature, we feel
that the investment .paid well. I also
believe that there is a field in each
neighborhood for someone to grow
pullets for sale. They should be
hatched so an to begin laying by No-
vember 1st, should be advertised, and
sold at a fair price. As a matter of
fact, we bought ours as cheaply as
we could. have raised them.

CHEATING TiE OLD SO'RAP
TILE.
Pew farms, indeed, have no grave-
yard for old machinery and parts. A
passerby, familiar with factory meth-
ods, wonders at the dismantled wrecks
of mowing machines, once resplendent
in shining red and yellow paint, now
rusting in a slump of burdock and
brarnbles.P rh• pe ell that is wrong
is a broken axle. A crippled tecider,
that might still be lacking out the long
windrows of hay in the low meadow
on -.July mornings hut for a stripped
and toothless gear, and a bent cam-
shaft, disc:onsolately forms a rusty
trellis for wild morning glories.
Dozens of smaller parts are always
there, toci."A flywheel from the thresh-
ing machine, with a chunk missing
from the rim. A broken pump handle.
Cracked transmission housing from
the tractor—how, long was the spring
plowing delayed while the tractor was
laid up waiting fog the new one to
come in? Plowpoints, dozen; of them;
and half a hundred smell wheels,
pars and pinioreee Parts from the
car and the trucks. Harvester parts,
cultivator parts, parts from the gas
engine and windmill ----no one could
name them 'all.
Such.a scrap pile nearly, always is
to be found on the best managed
farms as well as those run by the old
methods. In fact the better equipped
the farm, the larger is likely to be -the
heap of discarded metal parts: Mod-
ern machinery converts the up-to-date
farm into a well ordered tnanufacthr-
ing plant. This situation Is followed
by the manufacturing plant's problem.
—the maintenance and repair of ma-
chinery.
Besides the fact, that it is an un-
sightly heap of junk, possibly even
dangerous to children and to live
stock, a haven for field mice and a
possible' fire hazard from the tall, dry
stalks of the over -growing weeds,
what does this scrap pile mean? What
significance has it to the owner of
the place?
It is a monument to waste.
Every piece on the scrap pile has
had to be replaced. From -the mower
to - the smallest sprocket ever Y item
was once important and necessary,
and when thrown away a new part
had to be bought so work could go on.
Industrial plants, faced with the
same problem, would weld these im-
paired parts. Many scrap piles repre-
senting thousands of dollars in ma-
chinery have been wiped out, never to
reappear, and the salvaged parts not
immediately required have in many
instances formed a reserve supply to
he drawn upon as needed. The sav-
ings made in these plants have justi-
fied the investment in 'welding. equip-
ment many times over.
However, to reclaim worn or broken
farm equipment it is not necessary for

With, the exy-acetylene welding
blowpipe in the hands of a competent;
.operator ell sorts of worn and broken
parts can be repairede--more than "re-
paired" in the ordinary sense of the

Cracked castings can be welded, miss-
ing gear teeth replaced, worn sections
and surfaces bniit up. Malleable east -
ins ecu be braed, and the art will
be as strong Lis originally. Steel parts
can be made over; plowpoints built up
with an alloy steel welding rod will
give seryice like new ones. Bent shaft-
ing can be straightened easily by heat-
ing with the welding blowpipe.
New parts and new equipment can
also be fabricated by welding. One
stock'fann bought a number of old hot
water tanks (range boilers) from a
junk dealer, cut them into halves with
a cutting blowpipe, and after welding
pieces of old pipe to them for legs,
I used them f dr stock -feeding troughs.
On another place a chute for bags of
grain was made by welding old pieces
of steel sheet, beught very cheaply
from a Scrap yard.
It is in the repair of damaged parts,
hoWever, that the'greatest savings can
'be made. The actual savings in dollars
1 and cents is a large figure, but the
greatest saving is the time necessary
to ,secure a new part. '
I • •
Take, for example, a typical in-
stance. There are ten acres to b6
plowed for fall wheat Disc -harrowing
will not do, the ground must be turned
over. The first morning an accident
to the tractor put it out of service
with a crack in the cylinder block.
A new 'block can be obtained only
from the factory, and this will take
weeks. Added to the cost of the new
block is the freight or express and,
unless the work can be properly done
on the farm the cost of installing the
new block. In the meantime the plow-
ing waits, unless a man and a team
of horses can be put to it.
Welding will do away with nearly
all of this delay, and Much of the ex-
pense. The cracked block is simply
removed from the tractor and taken
to the nearest welding shop. There
it is carefully preheated, the crack
welded and the casting slowly cooled
—all of this work will not take a day.
And ,,, the results are very much
worth while. The scrap pile is cheat-
ed. The cost of anew cylinder block
is *saved. But best of all, the plowing
can go right ahead.
This incident is but a sketchy illus-
tration of the possible value of weld-
ing on the farm. Hundreds of similar
instances might be cited of savings
that are noev being made, or that could
be made were the value of this recla-
mation process known to all who could
take advantage of it.
TRAINING OUR
CHILDREN

"How doe's it happen that Throck
is making such a finehsuccess of his
work?" Aunt Tacey Ellen, who is
anything but diplomatic, asked
Throck's mother.
"Happen?" little Mrs. Robers chal-
lenged; with a slight trade' of irrita-
tion, "whY, it could never have been
any other way!"
"But I - know plenty of failures,"
Aunt Tacey Ellen insisted.
"Yes, but my son isn't one," the
mother proudly answered. r',You see,
I never allowed the word 'failure' in
Sonny's vocabulary. From the _time
he was a little chap I taught him that
he must finish, and do well,eanything
and everything he -undertook. A task
completed develops lf-confidence,
You know.," n
"But, my dear," Aunt Tacey Ellen
objected, "he probably had a character
that wasee,asily rnolded. And, no doubt,
he was the type of child that would
have accomplished anything he under-
took, regardless of training."
"Indeed," Mrs. Rogers said crisply,
"Ile was the type of child who is in-
clined to procrastinate and to jump
from one thing to another. But I
made up my mind to help him break
this. tendency, which is not conducive
to success."
"How did you go about it?" I asked
.entcring the conversation. '
'First, as I said, we made it a rule
that whatever he undertoolc must be
finished. When the tisk was' finished
praised and encouraged if it
waswelt done. And he next and best
influence was instilling in his, young
mind the thought that he would ,be
succiasful at whatever he undertook.
I had,,tlie motto 'Failure is enly for
those who think failure' framed and
hung in his room. I searched -our
library and the public library for suc-
cess stories of great men who had
overcome 'handicaps.
"Didn't Throcle's own handicap ever
worry him?" Aunt Tacey Ellen in-
quired.
"If it ever did, I never heard of it,"
Mrs. Rogers replied. "Seine way, I
don't believe it ever occurred to him
that he would ever be anything but
successful." .
"And h" hasn't been anything else,"
I added.
Some weeks later 1 was spending
few days in the great city in which
Throek is making a name for him-
self.. Coming out of a store one day,
.1 met my neighbor's fine,, big son. -I
told him how proud we all were of
"Oh, it's mother who deserves the
praise," said Throck. "I couldn't have
done what I have without her. I o-ive
it all to her." n '
And I went away thinking, "That
is true. He does owe it all to his
mother. And I believe she is ,right,
'Failure is only for those -who think
failure'."

, Until a few years ago 1 believed
that on is •a mighty" poor feed for
young pullets, especially just before
they are to be pieced in winter quar-
ters. That fall, however, it was a
case of "corn or no grain" as I was
unable, to Procure anything better at
prices that I could afford to pay. Ac-
cordinglY I began, s'ernewhat reluc-
tantly, to fted corn to the flock of
pullets from which I hoped to select
my winter layers
A neighbor, far more experienced in
poultrycraft than I, declared that the
fowls would accumulate so much fat
that they would be worthless for any-
thing but market purposes by the time
cold weather began. But I was des-
perate and concluded to give corn a
trial.
The pullets were on an extensive
range at the time. In November they
were placed in winter quarters, and
from that time forth I realized that a
more ,balanced ration" should be pro-
vided and began feeding a commercial
scratch feed. To the astonishment of
inyself and neighbor, these pullets be-
gan laying in December and kept us
in fresh eggs during the balance of
the winter; and not a single pullet
went into molt.
• Some months later I happened to
mention the matter to a poultry ex-
pert. He merely laughed and replied,
"Nettling. remarkable about that. In
fact, I always ma.ke it a rule to feed
corn to my free-range pullets as soon
as the extremely hot weather is Past.
and I continue to feed it iiberally until
the fowls are placed in winter quar-
ters. .By such a system the pullets
put on sufficient flesh to begin winter
laying without experiencing a loss of
vitality, and thereby escape the win-
ter molt.
"As long as the young stock IS on
free range there will be plenty of
bugs, worts' is, weed -seeds and waste
grains about to balance all the corn
they will consume,. and it i almost
impossible at that period to induce
them to eat more of it than is good
for them. The time to cut down on
corn in the poultry ration is when
the flock is confined to close quarters
where'the birds can not get sufficient
exercise."
•
' Many herds of hegs will be better
fed this winter for they will receive
something, besides corn. Corn lacks
in protein and rnineral elements.
Tankage, buttermilk, skimmilk, oil
meal, fish meal,. shorts or middlings
fed with corn makes a better ration.

Betty was very fond of apple pie so
she went gladly. When she got to the
apple tree she said, "Oh, I wish the

wouldn't have to climb the tree!"
< A high, small voice (very much like
Jack's) answered, "If that is all you
wish, little girl; I will gladly help
you, for I am a fairy."
Betty cried with joy, "Oh, may I
come up and talk. to you, Fairy?"
The high yoice tried to be alarmed,
but it was a,very bad attempt. "Oh,

OF JESUS, 28-33.
IL .rifE CONFIRMING VOICE paolvi IIEAV-
,
EX, 34=36.
INTRODUCTION—With the confeseion
of peter at Caesarea Philippi, there
begins a new period of deep and inti-
mate communion between Jesus and
his disciples. He is at last able to
' reveal what his Messialiship, which
they have now discovered, means. This
is nothing less than death at the hands
of the nation. Such teaching startles
and dismays the disciples, who had
cherished very different thoughts of
the Messiah's fortunes, but within a
week three of them have a very won-
derful experience on the Mount of
Transfiguration, which confirms to
them the truth both of what Peter had
confeesed, andof what Jesus had sub-
sequently revealed. This experience
forms the subject of to -day's lesson.
Let us remember that the whole pre-
ceding week had been one of great
religious emotion, and indeed excite-
ment. Jesus had announced in solemn
terms that he must go to Jerusalem
and die, Luke 9:22-27, Be had said
that the path of the Messiah must be
the path of the dioss, and , tiLat his
faithful disciples also must now be
prepared to forsake everything, to re-
nounce self, and accept, if need be, a
cress of execution. This was new teach-
ing, and at first the thought that
Jesus must die left—them utterly
aghast. What then, they argued, was
to become of his expected crown and
kingdom? From these thoughts the
disciples are delivered by a supreme
experience granted, as we have al-
ready said, on the Mount of Trans-
figuration. In a great moment of
spiritual illumination, they see Jesus
in his real glory. They see Moses and
Elijah bearing testimony to him and
th the fact that he must die. Filially,
they hear a voice from heaven naming
Jesus as the divine Messiah, and call-
ing upon themselves to listen to his
words.
I. THE DISCIPLES' VISION OF THE GLORY
•OF JESUS, 28-33.
V. 28. A week after Peter's confes-
sion, Jesus takes his three most inti-
mate disciples with him to .a quiet re-
treat among the hills. Luke alone
tells us that Jesus was praying when
the Transfiguration occurred, Doubt-
less, before the prayer, Jesus had been
speaking in solemn terms about his
Messiahship, and about the necessity
of his death.
Vs. 29-31. It would appear from v.
32, that during the prayer of Jesus—
as afteriVards in the garden of Geth-
semane—the three disciples had fallen
into a deep slumber. They were ex-
hausted perhaps bytheir long vigil
on the mountain side, and by the
strain of sad foreboding inspired by
Jesus' words. But the evangelist ex-
plains that meantime, as Jesus prayed,
his face grew brighter, --e heavenly
radiance spread over him, and he was
no longer alone. For there before him,
in heavenly vision, were Moses and
Elijah. They were speaking to him,
and „revealing that he must indeed go
to Jerusalem and die.
V. 32. Suddenly the disciples became
wide awake. They perceive the radi-
ance- of Jesus' face, and they are at
once aware that he is holding converse
with the two heavenly spirits. Instan-
taneously, the eleneents of a vision
come together before their eyes. They
see Moses and Elijah by Jesus' side.
The two representatives of the law
and the prophets are bearing witness
to Jesus' Messiahshipe,
V. 33. Like a man only half -awak-
ened froin a dream, and riot properly
distinguishing what is vision and what
is everyday reality, Peter wish to pro-
long the scene, and blurts out foolish
words about putting up shelters on
the hillside for Jesus and the two
heavenly Visitors. The evangelist ex.. -
plains that Peter at that moment did
not know what he was saying. But
while Peter is confused, there is no
mistaking whet the vision means. It,
means .that Scripture, in the persons
of Moses and Elijah, is new seen wit-
nessing to the truth of what Jesus has
said regarding. his 1VIessianie destiny
of suffering. Jesus had perhaps spo-
ken earlier in the evening of the
Messianic predictions associated with
the names of Moses and Elijah, and
now in a flash of heavenly insight,
the disciples see the truth.
11. TIIE CONFIRMING VOICE FROM HEAV-
EN, 34-36.
V. 34. At this moment a cloud over-
shadows the disciples,—a symbolic
way of saying that they become sud-
denly and strongly aware of the di-
vine presence. -The impressions of the
hour have culminated, and the truth
comes powerfully home to them that
God is present, confirming by his own
voice, what they have seen and heard.
V. 05. They hear the voice: This
is Mx Son,11,1is
beloved; hearken toj
IIim. This s practically identical!
with the voice which Jesus heard at
his baptism, and signifies that what
God revealed to Jesus at the beginniegl
is now revealed to Jesus' 'followers.;
(Compare Mark- 1:11.) Thus the;
Transfiguration experience is the]
heavenly confirmation of the truth Of)
Peter's confession. /int it is alsoj
understood As a clear siren that Jesus',
prediction regarding his death -1
which had hitherto been a great,
sturnbling-block---is to be, teceived 1)yi

V: 86. The vision passes. but the
truth remains. The disciples canned
yet reveal all that they have seen and,
heard, but they • ponder it in their,
THE GLorty. ;
. The "glory of God"' has in Scripture
great 'fullness of meaning.. It, means
hi eitalted and laaly charaeter and
being which he reVeals to Men' but
there is always, .or nearly always, a
background of nature. The. glory of
God starta out from the brightness
and splendor of the.sley. God used to
come SWeeping on in the thunderstorm;
with the lightning as his e'leisma
arrow or flashing speae, and the thun-
der his voice. In the thuaclerstorm he
came to the relief of the distressed
psalmist (Psalm 18), "hicidee in the
cloud, it is true, but none the less
darting out fiery death upon his ene-
mies. In the temple, leaiale saw the
king of kings upoe his throne, and
even the courtiers who stand by ham
, are fiery beings (the seraphim), Iso.
6. The vision of Eeekiel (ohs. 1-8, is
of a being so resplendent that the
<clouds cannot hide him. The glory of
God is described in Exod, 24:16-18 as
:if it were a great fire breaking,"
• through the cloud that hangs over a
volcano. I have seen an irradiated
'cloud at Vesuvius bY night. The Tsai-
' ites got glimpses of this glory of the
God a the bright heavens, and Moses
• did often (Exod. 83:17-23; 84:6, 7).
And when God tahernaclecl among
men, his presence was oe more than
one occasion marked' out by shining
light and cloud. When Jesus was born,
"the glory of the Lord shone round
about" the shepherds, Luke 2:9. When
• he was transfigured, his white and
glistering presence was encircled by
clouds. • On the way to Dareascus,
Paul saw at midday a "light from
heaven, above the brightness of the
size" Acts 26:18. • The early Chris-
tians expected Messiah to come in
glory—that is, le dazzling splendor—
on the clouds, Matt. 1627. And in
the heavenly life, no light of sun or

I Put My Farm Name on My
• Mail -Box.
It is now about three years since 1
purchased my farm. About the first
thing I did after building a house was
to set up a mail -box with an attrac-
tive, short farm name printed neatly
on its sides, -vvith mY name beneath.
I never saw a more pleased expression
npon the face of a person than ap-
peared upon the features of our mail -
carrier who came along just as I had
finished 'nailing the box on the post.
"By golly," he said, "you've got the
right' idea. You're the first man in
here to give his place a name, but it
means a lot th me as well as to you.
If all the fainters would get busy and
do the same, it would speed up niail
delivery nearly 50 per cent."
• "Well;" I replied, "I hadn't thought
• of it in that light but I wanted a way
of letting people know where I lived."
"Well, they'll know where your
farm is before they know you," he
said, as he left. •
I watched him until he turned the
corner, and thought of what he had
said. If they knew- where my place
*as,. in time they ,would get to know
me and my name would be linked
inseparably with the name of my
place, and this in the long run would
'be good advertising.
Now it is getting so that when any
of the dealers in our town make my
acquaintance they say, "Ohl Are you
the fellow that lives in `Northaven?'"
and want to know- what I intend to
raise on the farm. So taken as a
whole I feel that the 10 cents I spent
for paint th put my farm name on
the mail -box has been a good invest-
ment.—H. 0. Hall.
Seed Ears.
The corn seed ears are best selected
from the standing plant. For those
that neglected to do this, the next best
practice is to aelect the best ears at
the time of husking. Good seed corrr
will in all probability be scarce in this
,province next spring, so every real
good seed type ear should be carefully
saved. After husking, the seed ears
should be kept in a place of storage
that provides a uniform temperature
good air circulation and freedom frorn
moisture.
Paper Chiefly 'machine Made.
Of the paper now manufactured,
telly 99.,per cent. is machine -made.
The clerk -who hopes some day te
become a merchant and the traveling'
salesman who hopes te be a success-
ful executive or manufaeturer Should
learn how to use imagination in the
retailing of, any commodity which he
may handle..
