dlye. - Fall rye is hnrdder than full
wheat and for -this reason can be sown 'profitably later in the season. on a greater variety of soils and und- er more severe climatic conditions.
_ lW:hflle rye does be-sit, like wheat, on well d-rained loam 'or clay-loam soils, it will produce fair yields on lighter sands and loams_ On very fertile soils rye is ilikely -to lodge and will produce -little grain. under such circumstances and if the district ls suitable for the growing of fall wheat, it would be advisable to sow wheat rather than -rye.
Otherwise the method of _seed-bed
preparation for rye is similar to that outlined for wheat. Tile rate of seed- ing is usually from 1%- ~'.to2 bushels per acre. The common fall rye .is the only varieLy` available which can usually be secured from most seed merchants.
COLLECTING THE BEST MARES
Although the draft horse 'business is
not lively, a quiet movement is undci
way which is of great significance til- the improvement of the breeds. Tlic best mares are gradually drifting. into the hands of the .best breeders. When- ever soma discouraged breeder docil- es to sell a high-class purebred mare. the offer is readily grasped by any of the men who are really successful breeders. Those who have made the most money producing .pedigree hors- es have built their careers largely' upon the best of their mares. Their success is in proportion to the charac- ter' of theldams used. Even the 'best of sires cannot overcome the deficiencies of infer-lor mares. The men who are shrewd enough to seek out and bliy the desirable females are also fully _alive to the importance of the sire There always have the best that they can secure.
A period' like the present, when
many a breeder' is getting dlscollrag- ed, offers a welcome opportunity for skilled ‘breed -builders to enlarge and perfect their foundations. They can

Many a deslraible brood mare is rais-

A HENHOUSE BUILT FOR

_ 'lo build e poultry house and build into meet the requirfameuts of tho hen under constantly _ varying conditions, and with no protection of ertiiliicial beet for winter or natural shade for summer is a problem that must be dealt with scientifically. Ventilation is the most important fastor in the conltruction of aill poultry houses. The body of the fowl -ie so construct- ed that tt can-stand neither too much cold nor too much heat. As in the dog, the body gases are mostly thrown off by respiration. Breathing is rapid. and large volumes of air rich in oxy-

A.t night she goes to roost ‘.\'l»th a full crop Efficient lighting ol' her working _quarters is essential for her to do her best. Aill parts must be equally -light- ed in order tha the floor space alloted to each fowl may be utilised.
To-construct walls for warmth in
_winter and' coolness in summer is an absolute necessity for eggs' at these tirn/es. The north, east and west walls ,should be built .tight for winter, but for summer they must not remain so. Ventilation must be provided.
Convcnlences _
_ Convenlcnccs and :rrrallgcnlent of in- terior fixtures so as not to iillericrc with floor or lighting, and to be prop- erly proportioned to -the size of the flock-. is another problem. Ventilation ln such a. house is accomplished in a way to prevcnt all possible drafts striking the birds. A wooden balflcr is constructed ill trollglllike fashion. Each hnffler is V~sllzlped| and to pre- vent drafts one fill-i over -tho otlicr, All windows ul-o on thc south siilc. Each window nollsists of two sasliva, both. easily removed, and -the upper ls so constructed as to full hunk into ai. speclnlly made slot of triangular shape.
lil this instance they are made of_
glailvanized iron, but can easly be made of wood, Any draft that may enter the windows is then forced up
next to .the roof, thus preventing sud- den chilling of the birds on- t-he floor. ( constant .temsprature is -ideal. Ally _appreciable variation one way or -the other should be guarded against; but
at the same time illere must be a. cer- .taln amount of circulation -throughout the pen. Bafflcr velltill-anion, wth win- dow ventllntlon, can meet this ile- mulld.
Each pen is follrtcen feet square
and accommodates fifty females and three males; is seven feet to the top of plates on the south side and five feet oil the north. Solid wooden part-. itions, boarded to the _roof every four- teen feet_ divide the pens. Double action doors 'lifted to -swing eight inches off the floor to clear- the litter, with a removable board beneath for cleanilng convenience, are used. The
location -of tl? door is_ best nearer -the north vm than the south. This. then, at alll -times allows the birds the floor space on the south side, which they prefer to that of the north mul which they ulse most. `
Storage Hoppers ln Each Pen A feed house is not necessary in
corlnechion with this poultry house. Each pen contains it-s storage hop- pers. ’l`lle grain hopper is flvc feet long and fifteen to twenty inches deep, and holds approxirnately 500 pounds ni' dry mash. lt is hu-ilt in. All llnppeirs, nests and rlropplngs llonrds are placed two and n. half feet off the floor. This allows the fowls fllll use of the floor space. The water stand, grit and shelil hopper are next to tho wind- ow. The entire north sldc is -token up by the,l'oostin-g -space and broody coop. Tile drooping-s boards are hing- ed to 'the wall, and the supports for the perches are likewise hinged so that both muy he swung up out of the
vvny.
That does away with the chickens
roosting on the porches during the daytime. The brackets supporting the boards are also lllngcd to swing iri- wurd and nrc out of the way. The opening below the boards is for ven- til-zuiinn and cxteilils to n similar open-
ing on the outside wall. Encll pon hai.-l it-s broody coop convenient to the nests where broody hens may be quickly and easily pnt in jail.

NATURE MAKES MISTAKES.
Some Animals Do Not Tlrrive Best In Their Habitat.
The habitat of u. species of animal
is the region in which it is found in il state of nature. It is currently believed that tho iiabitnl of any crea- ture is the region for which. lt is best adapted. But the reverse of this is often true, says a writer ip a Belfast paper. There are many cases ln which a specie introduced in a new territory through the voluntary or in- voluntary iniiuence of nlan has shown a marvellous adaptation and power of persistence. The- rapid spread cf rabbits and pigs as wild animals in Australia, of horses and cattle in South America., of the Eng- lish sparrow in North America, of humble-bees and house-files in New. Zeuland, are illustrations of this. Not one of these animals has maintained itself in the wild state in its native land as successfully as in these new countries to which it has been intro- duced. The work of introduction of useful animals illustrates the sullle fact. The carp, originally br'oughi to Europe froul China. and thence io America as a'i'0od-fish becomes a nuisance which cannot be eradicated, destroying the eggs and the food- stuff' of far better' fish. The ways lu which species may cross barriers in a state of nature are as varied as the creatures themselves, and fur more varied than the actual barriers. By the long-continued process of ad- justment to condltions,'wlth the in- cessant destructlon of the unadapted, the -various organisms have become -so well fitted to their surroundings that the casual observer may well suppose that each inhabits the re- gion best fitted for it. Men have even thought that the conditions of life have been fitted to the creatures themselves, so perfect is this rela- tion.
Alcohol l~‘l'nm Brcrul.
Through the seizure of a still in a
bakery in New Mexico, where a quan- tity of alcohol was discovered that had .been distilled from bnke-oven fumes, considerable discussion has taken place concerning the fensilfll- ity of lllmlufnctllrillg alcohol as a by- product of bread.
This still was a. crudely construct-
ed affair. the vapor' from the brad being comlllciod from the oven lnin il worm, which was cooled by ‘passing through a barrel of water, condensing the vapor. The baker' was ilot arl' sl- ed, as it was clearly shown thai no "evasion of thc law was lnicntfcd. However, possession of zl still lf: in violation of the law, and this one \- its seized by thc Internal Revenue Sal"- vicc. This baker states thai. qunziil- ties of alcohol can be lrrnnufnctlzred for wal' use at a very srrinll cosi b_v army hnkssllops and bakers in lil* ge cities. The prnctlcnbllliy uf the plan remains to be worked out.
“Service Flute." _
National kitchens wllcre really rc-
flncd and good cooking is done may in part be the remedy; and illiglli "coilic to stay." There are in London and clan-‘where "sl-.rvlco flats," where tenants llnve their own ful'nlture and private roollls, but go lo n corrilrluii diningroonl for meals, and-have thi-li' apartments kept clean by the scr- vants of the proprietor. These are most successful; it is almost impos- sible to find such a flat vacant, though the terms are very high for rent, service, and food. The exten- sion of this system and national kit- chens may make an imrlrense differ- ence to wolnen’s lives lu_ the future.

An Acid Resisting`NletA\l.
According to the iron Age, a. new
metal known by the registered name of "Bario" has been put upon the market by the Bnrio Metal Corpor- ation, New York, as a. heat and acid resisting material. The makers claim that this is the only commercial metal of its kind that does not rust, tarnish, corrode, or deteriorate. it is, they state, non-magnetic; it ro- mains clear and bright, and is not- uttucked by sulphuric, nitric, or nlu- rlatio acids, resembling in this re- spect_ gold and platinum. Its melting point is high, beginning at 8,100 deg. Fahr, and increasing according to the grade of metal mixture used. It is manufactured in nine dilerent grades. '

Remember the words of the Lord
Jesus. that he himselfsaid it is more
The verses from Luke 6 -belong to the early ministry of our Lord. They largely parallel the Sermon on the Mount, and many belleve'it° to be an- other report of__i.be same discoifrasi The incident of the wldow‘s mite oc- curred lli the Temple during the last week before the crucifixion.
The Bible has much to say about
the nrt or giving, but if we rightly un- derstand and fully practice ali that is said about it in our two selections
from the Gospel of Luke, we shall -lol well.
"Give to every one that asketh
thee," is the first statement. Long ago Augustine explained that this means, “Give to every one that asks, but not everything he asks. lf our men of wealth carried out the wishes
which same to them in every begging letter, ull their money would very quickly -be in the hands of the un- deserving. How to give is restricted by the Golden Rule. To give to every beggar would be ag harmful to him as
it would be vexatious and impover- ishlng to us. Our gifts and loans are to be measured. not -by the asker's wish, but by his welfare. An opportun- ity to earn the money is -far better for u man's welfare than a'glft of the money itself. Jesus was wont to speak in fig-lires of speech which have u de- finite -but not a literal meaning.
Gifts are to he made in the spirit or
Christ. lf you love thelrl that love you, if you do good to them that do .good to you, what kind of thanks have you, what 'kind of rewards do you deserve. Almost anyone would return a kind- ness; a Christian should do more than thai, he should give where be has rec ` eiveil nothing, where he has no ex- pectation of a return; should do good even to his enemles.The giving should be generous-good' measure, pressed' down, shaken together, running over. This is a llgure of speech taken -from the way grain was measured for the purchaser by the professional meas- urer. lt is so' measured today in Pal- estlne.
Honor God, by recognizing him as
the source of all good gifts, and by
returning. u goodly portion for his ser- vice; honor hlm with the ilrst fruits 'lt the very beginning of your haryelil, not waiting till you have gathered it all, till you have amassed what seems to youu competence; this is the way lo have overflowing barns and vate. abundance, riches enough for yourself :ind for others. Do you say you cannot afford to give? Jesus says you c_an’t afford not'to give.
How and what shall we give?‘As
the opportunity offers? As we happen to feel about giving One impulse? By
our credit. As it is not the amount but the sacrifice that counts, so it is not the promptness or the timeliness of lr _gift but the motive that inspired it that is taken into account, in heavenm arithmetic. God' so loved the world that he gave: giving that is inspired by love to God and~ our .fellow men ls- ti'ue giving.
Gifts of money are but a fraction of
what is meant by Christian giving. Christ gave all that he had, he gave hlniself. Self-giving is much harder and ilobler and lilore 'blessed than lnoney giving.-Adapted from "Tar- bell's."
The Great Giver ‘brought no money,
clothes or food with him. No man over hnil less' at his command of those
things of which lilen usually make slits, he was during the wonderful. years of his active life. pennlless and homeless; but he was incomparably the greatest Giver who has appeared among men. No one of all the great benefactors of inanklnd has approach- ed him in the reach, power and eter- nal vallle of his gifts. The secret of his Divine generosity is told in a sen- iendaz he was lrlmself a gift_!-The “0utlo`ok."
Give 'and God's reward to you will
be tho spirit of giving more. ln these ilnys of unparalleled suffering and necd, thc irppeirls for the relief of irluropeail sufferers multiply daily, nnd'they have been met by such giv ing as the world has never lbefore‘ seen. At tile some time, gifts for for- _ sign missions have been far' larger than ever. The reward of giving la the desire to give more.
