It costs money to feed poultry, and
with feed at its present value, the
consumption of feed by mulles kept
for no particular purpose is a serious
economic waste. During the summer
the price declines, and by the early
faII when many producers decide to
market their male birds, a lower price
than prevailed in the spring has to be
accepted; the producer thus losing the
amount per pound the market has de-
c'l'ined, plus the value of the feed con -

Moss Roses.
This is the story of the first moss
rose. One day the little daughter of
the Wise Chief fell very ill. No one
knew how to make her well again,
for that was hundreds of moons ago,
before wise men had found so many
ways to Ileal the sick.
All the people were sad, for they
loved the beautiful Little girl.
After they had held a council, the
grandmother of the Wise Chief said,
"I will go far away into the fields and
woods and search until I find' healing
herbs that will (take the child well
again,"
So, just as the Moon Mother put the
stars to sleep under the fleecy clouds,
the old woman set forth on her jour-
ney.
She first went into the big, cool,
friendly woods. There all day long
she searched, first beside a singing
brook, where the little fishes played
in the sunshine and shadow, then at
the foot of the tall forest trees, among
the bright red berries and dark glossy
leaves. But she did not find the heal-
ing herbs.
After that she went into the fields.
On the slope of a hill in the distance
stood three little pine trees, side by
side. They looked as if they 'were
marching up the hill; their long top
branches, like fingers, touched the sky.
"I, too, will -climb the hill," the old
woman) said to herself.
While she searched the elope of the
hill the moon came up, big and round
and beautiful, behind the tall pine
trees, One long silver 'beam pierced
the dark pine boughs and seemed to
point to a bush a few yards away.
The old woman went over to the
bush and found it covered with clus-
ters of little roses, smooth and pink.
She parted the branches and peered
in. Lo, the ground was covered with
soft green velvet moss, and, rooted in
the moss, safe and flourishing, were
the healing herbs!
The grandmother was very happy,
She said to the rosebush, "Because
you have guarded so well the healing
herbs for the little sick daughter of
the Wise Chief I will snake you more
beautiful than any other rose."
Then she wrapper each smooth pink
rosebud in a little piece of the moss
and went away. '
She carried the healing herbs to the
Wise Chief's lodge and steeped them
in water in the sun and gave then)
to the daughter of the chief. Then
the child got well.
Soon afterwards the same little girl
went hunting for wild flowers on a
certain 'hill. And in the slope of that
hill she found, blooming shy and
lovely in the shadow of three slim
pines, the very first moss roses in the
world.
This You Cm Do to Boot Yol:ir Cosa Yield
Big yields of corn are not grown a poor variety of 00114 is grown, or

rotation, the preparation of the soil,

the flurry the crop is cultivated are
the 'important things within control
that affect the yield.
Corn is very sensitive to soil condi-
frons, It requires a deep soil well
supplied with plant food for its beat
growth. At the Ohio Experiment Sta-
tion, where corn, wheat•, and oats havo
been grown continuously for twenty-'
five years on the saute fields, the yield
of corn itis declined 1110re rapidly than
either wheat or oasts. Where c0011
has been grown with these crops in
good rotations, winch include closet,
and when barnyard manure and con-
mero!al fertilizers have been used to
supply plant food', corn has made the
greatest increase in yield.
Corn should not be grown many
year's in sueces01011 ell the ;mine field,
The best yields are obtained where it
is grown after the clover or some
other leguminous crop, and when
bargyard manure, reinfored with at
phosphatic fertilizer, is applied.

What To Observe in n Baby.
Babies eannct talk, but they have a
sign language,
By crying and. by movements they
can explain a great many things.
Well Baby—A normal, healthy child
gains regularly in weight, has a warm
moist skin, breathes quietly, eats
heartily, sleeps peacefully, has one or
two regular bowel movements daily
and cries only when he is hungry, un-
comfortable, ill or indulging in a flt
of temper.
Posture When Sleeping --Quiet,
limbs relaxed, sleep peaceful, no toss-
ing about.
Facieli Expression ---Calm and peace-
ful. If baby is suffering pain, the
features will contract from time to
time and the fists will be clenched
tightly.
Breathing—Regular, easy and quiet.
However, during the firelt weeks of
family weakness for carping and
criticizing those of the household, It
'.s many a long year since Eternal
Wieeom said: "A prophet is not with-
out honor cavo in has own country."

and rugged country which in • those
days had still patches of woodland.
The Z;ipites had at an earlier time
shown hostility to -David and had
offered to give him up to Saul (28: 14-
