Proprietor. Editor,
It was night in the heart of the
,Sudan. The stars cast their .thin
streams of light serenely down upon
a circle ofsten who were gathered on
the outskirts of Khartum. In the
centre at the circle stood a tall, young
missionary, athletic of build and pow-
erful of voice. For sic weeks or more
he had been patiently instructing the
natives seated round him in the first
principles of the Christian faith.
They were (nen who were drawn
from about twenty inland tribes. In
thatpart of central Africa which
Gordon and Kitchener made famous
there are many millions of natives
who have scarcely heard the name of
the Lord Jesus Christ. With infinite
labor these men who . formed the
circle "'rad been brought together and
induced to undergo a little training'
before, returning, to• their people.
The task.: of commending Christ to
their respective tribes. was not light1.
but; on the contrary; was:fraught with.
the utmost -peril, Occasional canni-
balism was still a characteristic of
these dwellers in the heart of Africa.
The young missionary knew that it
would require enormous courage for
the .natives who accepted Christ to
play their part.

One of the impdrtant factors in the
success with hatching eggs during
the spring is the care of the breeding
stock during the winter. Hens that
are forced for eggs in the winter can-
not produce the most Hatchable eggs
in the spring. Birds that are too fat
will produce eggs lacking in fertility.
If they are enclosed in small yards
and do not have sufficient exercise it
will injure the hatchability of the
eggs.
Green food is a tonic to the hens
during the winter and helps rki keep
then( in condition to produce fertile
eggs during the season of incubation.
Exercise in a deep straw litter helps
to ]seep them in good physical condi-
tion. Year-old and two year-old hens
produce the best and most vigorous

He waited in the darkness for a

silence. He knew that for many of
them th'b promise alone might mean
death. Suddenly one of them spoke
in a strong, clear, voice.
"Ina so," he said. (I will.)
Then another and another spoke,

Many pigs and calves are lost' each
year, especially in the winter, because
the breeding stock was kept confined
too closely and not allowed to exer-
cise freely. Annual's seldom refuse to
go out when given the opportunity;
if they do, they need to be forced.
They will maintain'a•better appetite,
their health'will be 'better, and the air
and sunshine is highly beneficial.
Some farmers force the breeding •stock
to take daily .exercise, making them
go certain distances to get feed or
water. The little lot back of the barns
makes a'good winter range and yard
for breeding stock.
