the Y.M.C.A., being without a propa-

instantly to nay needs that may arise,
either at the battle -front or wherever
the boys may be located. It meets
them ot all hours and in oil places with
a.spirit of good cheer, comfort and help-

"Theo you are of the opinion that the
man who supports the war work of his
church is not doing all he caa to help
the boys?"
''Assuredly. Tile Y.I.C.A. is able
to go a little farther. Though the work
of the church may be nearer to the ideal
of what I want to see done, the V,lq.C.A.
gets nearer to the boys.
That struck me as a very important
point. and I decided to questioa lain
from an angle that might not be pleasing
to a clergyman.
"You know," I itsinuated, in a spirit
of half confession, that there are a lot
cif boye who would be inclined to look
at a at borne as a sort of
sissified institution, beneath the notice
of young men of the world who like to
affect a sort of manly wildness. Does
the Yht\I.G.A. get near to them?"
"Yes. The helpfulness of the 'Sten",
C.A. has won out, over every obstacle.

Ves. It stands nearer to them than
anything, else except the military organi-
zation under whose discipline they live
—and die. You sea they are specially
organized, trained and outfitted for this
kind of work—and they are a mighty
spiritual force, too,"
When leaving him, I stopped to talk
to several other clergymen who appeared
in the olling—it was a place of clergy-
men—and be stepped front the room.
Shortly afterwards he returned with a
copy of hialateet book, on the ily-leaf
of which Ith had w-ritten in memory of
the men, we had ktiown in our boyhood:
"There were giants in those days,"

',IMPORTANT POINTS
TN HATCHING CHICKENS
During the hatching season the
ponitry house and particularly the
nest !should be kept: clean. Clean wa-
ter and a supply of whole grain
be: .accessitild to the sitters and a dose
bath should be provided also. If more
than one 'hatch is being taken off
clean ioat and disinfect the nest al-,
ter each hatch and nut in new ,,sod
fresh litter, Dust the hen with in-
sect powder before putting her in
,the nest clad again a day or two be-
fore leaving the fnests with the chick-
ens. It is a good phut to put into the
;neat 'bath a little dry- salphar or
ground. tooacco,
Be sure also that the house is ,frere
from inites,, These little _pests get into
the cracks and corners of the buildr
tag, and at, as :the 'hens are resting,.

Care of the Freshening Cow.
This is the month when a large
number of cows freshen. Both fresh
tows and newly -born calves should
• .
receive special attention Cows sae-
-
pected to freshen should be placed
In 9. box stall for a few days before
• anti' after freshening. Manyrvaluable
cowland calves are lost by ne-glecting
to provide box stall accommodation.
This should be found in every dairy
stable; or else have a special barn
for the purpose. A few hours "sun-
shine bath" each week will make far
more healthful stock and improve the
dairying.
Feeding, the E
On many farms lambs will begin to
arrive about this time. If ewes have
been liberally fed for a month before
lambing they likely have more
milk. FromI/2 to 1 lb. of grain fed
per ewe per day for a month before
lambing is generally good practice,
especially if ewes are somewhat thin,
