A FARM WIFE
TS T
EN
By
Gwendotlne P. Clarke
If you ever find yourself tak-
ing part in a quiz program and
the question is asked: "What are
the stupidest creatures on a
farm?" take it from me, you
need 'have no hesitation in an-
swering: "Hens and chickens!"
I am sure anyone who lives on
a farm will agree with me but
those who don't may wonder why.
Well, I'll tell you.
Hens and chickens absolutely
refuse to co-operate when you
try to make them more comfort-
able. They will come back again
and again to the first home they
knew—the brooder house. You
tan shut them out and chase
them off to the nice new airy pen
you have prepared for them and
in half an hour they will all be
back to the brooder house, squat-
ting around outside if they can't
get inside.
Several weeks ago when our
brooder house became too crowd-
ed we took the roosters away and
put them in another. pen. Partner
said, "I guess if we keep them
shut up for a day or two and then
let them out again they will go
back all right." But I gave a
disgusted sort of grunt in antici-
pation of what I was sure would
happen. And it did.
After a week we let the roost-
ers out and that night every last
one of them was back in the
HARI-KARI GUN
brooder house. While Partner was
milking I had the grand job of
catching and carrying fifty-one
'roosters back to where they be-
Ionged.
Then we have a pen of year-
ling hens up in the barn. They
have been shut up in that same
pen over six months. Then came
moulting time and we thought it
might do the hens good to have
the run of the farm for a while.
So we let the hens out. Did they
go back to their pen at night?
Well, about half of then. The
others went to roost all over the
place—down in the stable, on the
manure spreader, in another hen -
pen, and even in the brooder
house from which I had so re-
cently ;.haled the roosters to
make more room for the pullets.
This went on for about three
weeks. Finally I went the rounds
one night and carried the hens
back to their pen. And believe
me when I was through with the
job I said to those biddies very
emphatically as I shut the door,
"Now you can just stay there!"
We also have trouble, but of a
different kind, with the pullets.
They would much rather sleep on
the floor than on the roosts.
After the roosters had been taken
away there was plenty of room
for all the pullets to roost in
comfort. But would they do it?
In the daytime, yes. But at night
half of them were on the roosts
and the other half hunched up
together on the floor. I tried
picking them up and putting
them on the roost. But that
was no good. As fast as I put
one bird up another jumped down.
So I tried to outwit them. The
next night I collected old stove
pipes and odd ends of wire net -

JESUS AND TIME SABBATH
Exodus 20:8.11; Isaiah 58:13., 14;
Mark 2:23, 3:5
GOLDEN TEXT—And He said
unto them, The Sabbath was made
for man, and not man for the
Sabbath. Mark 2:27.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Titre: The Ton Command-
ments were deliverer. in 1445
B.C.; the prophecy taken from
Isaiah was spoken about 698
B.C.; the words here quoted from
our Lord were uttered in the early
summer of A.D. ,28.
• Place.—The Ten Command-
ments were given on Mount Sinai;
Isaiah's prophecy, in Jerusalem;
our Lord's discourse on the Sab-
bath took place not far from
Capernaum.
The Holy Sabbath Day
"Remember the Sabbath Day
to keep it holy." Thie day was
set aside for the worship of God
that men might not forget their
Creator,
"Six days shalt thou labor, and
do all thy work; but the seventh
day is a sabbath unto Jehovah
thy God: in it thou shalt not do
any work, thou, nor thy son, nor
thy daughter, nor thy man -serv-
ant, nor thy maid -servant, nor
thy stranger nor the stranger
that is within thy gates." While
we faithfully 'reserve the Lord's
Day for worship and rest we must
also not. compel others to work
on the sabbath day.
Sabbath and` the Creation
"For in six days Jehovah made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that in them is, and rested on the
seventh day: wherefore Jehovah
blessed the sabbath day, and hal-
lowed it." The sabbath 1.5 sepa-
rated from other days and should
be a day of joy and gladness, of
rest and refreshment for body,
mind and soul.
Joy in the Sabbath
"If thou turn away thy fool
from the sabbath, from doing thy
pleasure on my holy day, and call
the sabbath a delight, and the
holy of Jehovah honorable; and
shalt honor it, not doing thine
own ways, nor finding thine own
pleasure, nor speaking 'thine own
words." We are to seek and do
God's pleasure, not our own, on
His day. We should seek the
good of others, not our 'own. We
are: to speak His word, not our
eivn, for the day should be used
for His glory, not for self glory.
God's Promises
"Then shalt thou delight thy-
self in Jehovah; and I will make
thee to ride upon the high places
of the earth; and I will feed thee
with the heritage of Jacob thy
father: for the mouth of Jehovah
hath spoken it." If we delight
to do God's bidding and observe
the Sabbath we will find increased
ting and I spread them all around
on the floor, making the place
as uncomfortable as I could. And
it worked. That night there were
far more birds on the roosts.
The next night still more, and
last night there were only five
on the floor. So I really feel as
if I had done something,
* * *
Of course I don't suppose peo-
ple who run a regular poultry
farm have quite as much trouble
as we do because they would have
their pullets and cockerels in sep-
arate pens right from the start.
But when you keep poultry just
as a sideline as we do—or as a
necessary evil — and have only
one brooder stove to work with
so that you have to keep mixed
chickens in one pen until they
are old enough to do without
artificial heat then you are bound
to run into some "kind of trouble.
So you people whose only
knowledge of poultry is eating
eggs and chickens, please remem-
ber that it meant a lot of work
before that chicken was really
for the oven, and the hen that
laid that egg you had for break-
fast was fed and cared for for
five months before she laid her
first egg—and that a very small
one. It took a week or twos be-
fore her eggs were large enough
to be marketable. But we keep
on—we don't quit just because
some of our work is not as easy
as we would like it.

KIEV: RUSSIANS RET JR N TO UKRAINE CAPITAL
Kiev and the Dnieper . .
The Russians can see the gilt church domes.
Kiev street . , . as the Russians left it in -1941.
!Kiev_, metropolis on the Dnieper
and . capital of the rich Ukraine,
had been in German hands just
two years to the day when Sep-
tember 22 dispatches told of the
Russian advance to within sight
of the city's glistening church
domes. Kiev is the third city of
Russia—Moscow and Leningrad
alone are more populous. How
many of its 850,000 people have
survived the two years of Nazi
terror will be revealed when
Soviet forces march back down
the city's broad, modern streets,
left. A centre of agriculture, in-
dustry, and cattle raising, Kiev
is built. on a cliff overlooking the
Dnieper. This lofty position com-
manding the broad plains to the
east, above, may give to the
Nazis a last defensive advantage.
• joy in the existence and service
of the Lord. The thought of vic-
tory; prosperity and security is
undoubtedly implied.
Jesus and the Sabbath •
"And it came to pass, that he
was going on the sabbath day
through the grain fields, and his
disciples began, as they went, to
pluck ears. And the Pharisees
said unto him, Behold, why do
they on the sabbath day that
which is not lawful?" The dis-
ciples were charged with a breach
of the sabbath law which forbade
working.. Reaping was a for-
bidden work and under reaping
was included the gathering of a
few ears of corn.
"And he said unto them, Did
ye never read what David did,
when he had seed, and was hun-
gry, he, and they that were with
him? How he entered into the
house of God when Abiathar was
high priest, and ate the show-.
bread, which it is not lawful to
eat save for the priests, and gave
also to then that were with him."
Since David's action was not con-
demned it proved that, in urgent .
cases, human need was to come
first. So the necessity of the dis-
ciples justified them in doing on
the Sabbath what would have
been otherwise against the law.
Man's Day of Rest
"And he said unto them, The
sabbath was made for man, and
not man for the sabbath." The
• sabbath was not evade to bring
about a state of suffering, but
to provide for man's rest and
communion with God.
Miracle on the Sabbath
"And he entered again into the
synagogue; and there was a man
there who had his hand withered
, and he stretched it forth;
and his hand was restored."
Christ scornfully dismissed the
Pharisees' question. To Him to
cause a man to suffer longer than
is necessary is an evil thing. 'They
held their peace.' In their silence
they confessed their hypocrisy
and cowardice. Christ looked
upon his critics with grief and
anger. Though angry He grieved
for them. Anger, as righteousness
against evil is justified but it must
be tempered with compassion for
. those who have offended.
In this' case Jesus did not even
touch the man, The sufferer
showed courage in standing forth
among the hostile Pharisees, but
the faith that made him stretch
forth his dead hand and attempt
the impossible vas greater still.

A Nice Salvage
Job On Bomber
Fortress Forced Down Flies
Out of Small Field
Salvage of ships and cargoes is
common around the British Isles,
but a nice job of salvage was done
recently on land when a big Fly-
ing Fortress bomber had to make
a forced landing when returning
from an operation over Germany.
The bomber came to rest unharmed
In a small field surrounded by
trees. There seemed no way of
getting the plane out except by
taking it to pieces which would
have meant a long job of rebuild-
ing. But, said an American colonel
of Engineers, if the Air Corps got
it here the Engineers can -get it
out.
So his men got to work with
bulldozer, grader, caterpillar and
dump trucks. They built a road
through the trees, removed a wall
and row of hedges extending 120
feet, and made a runway about
800 yards long. As an additional
safety factor they cleared 1,000
feet of fields at the end of the
runway and compacted it.
Then with about 3,250 feet of
clear space the Fortress was tuned
up and away she went.
