Graham, of the Ontario Agricultural College, who has been at the head of the poultry experiments for a number of years, lays down some very pertinent points in building poul try houses and in the inside arrange ment. It is his opinion that every hen should have at least six square feet of floor space and that each bird of the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte and such breeds, require about nine inches of perch room; Leghorns, etc., 'about eight inches; Brahmas, ten inches Roosts should be made low and near the ground. The reasons are that heavier breeds cannot fly up on high roosts and lighter breeds frequently injure the soles of their feet in jump ing from high perches. When drop ping boards are used they should be moderately - low down to admit of cleaning. They should be made of matched lumber and should be twenty inches wide for one roost and three feet for two perches, the first being placed eight or ten inches from the wall. Most poultrymen like perches two inches square with the corners slightly rounded. .Nests are usually made from f5n to twelve inches square. Ground floors are more in favor than board floors and cost less. Houses with a straw loft are cool in summer and dry in winter. - IN TEXAS, TOO.

THURSDAY ni www xj- u ? vo v y P'.C COLLI MS. 7be QuL JA SERMON .1 Subject: The Gospel of Christ. uroofclyn, N. Y. Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, on the theme "The Gospel of Christ, a Partial Message to Its Messengers," the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text Romans 1:16, "For I am not ashamed of the gosnel f Christ." He said: The last and perhaps the greatest privilege which our Savior has given unto us is contained in that com mand which, it is reported, He gave to His disciples nineteen centuries ago: "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Paul writing, as we have seen, to the Church at Rome, but a few years after the death of the Master, has given to us a record of his personal and profound conviction of the worthiness of the good news of the Christ. This, the opinion of the pre-eminent , evangelist of : the Apostolic Church,- still - stands . unchallenged. Through all the schisms of the cen turies the Gospel has come down to us as pure and beautiful in its mes sage; as strong and as potent in Its power for good, as it was when first our Master preached, with His own ear lips, the message of salvation ana aDounamg love. . To-day, as we stand just within the threshold of another century, with the memories of mighty eras" lingering in our hearts, let us glance over the achievements of the church of the living God. Let us, as we stand at the parting of the ways, when to go forward is to accept new responsibilities and' to receive re newed opportunities for service, look critically at the field before us. Let us determine what course, as Chris tians, we must pursue. Let us con sider the message of the church to the men of to-day. Let us decide, as God may give us power, our duty as the messengers of the risen Lamb of God of whose gospel we are not ashamed. About the year of our Lord the thirty-second a certain Pharisee, Saul by name, journeyed from Jerusalem to Damascus, "breathing out threat enings and slaughter against the dis ciples of the Lord." His intent was to bring bound to Jerusalem all Christians whom he might find at, Damascus. While on his way and when but a few hours distant from Damascus the spirit of God came upon Saul and a marvelous conver sion, worthy of the mission and of the magnitude of the man, took place. Saul's question, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?rwas the mainspring of action in his life. In the answer of our Lord came a pro phecy of that work of evangelization which was destined to change the po litical aspect of the world, and to do much to ameliorate the social condi tions and surroundings of human kind. . Paul was the first world-evangelist. His mission was to sow the seed in all the first century world. And so in the outpouring of a grateful heart a heart thankful for success as a spiritual seedsman Paul declares, "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ." , This same gospel it is which claimed the allegiance of Paul and which holds the fealty of men in every clime to-day, which has taught' men the principles of right living and of eternal truth. To the influence of the gospel is due that esteem for woman which has raised her from a chattel to her rightful position as a forceful factor in society.. To the gospel is largely due that beneficent scheme of education and that grand er cpneeption of the liberty of the in dividual. v 1 . The words of Christ foretold the doom of slavery. The eternal princi ples of the new commandment. could not but be hostile to a system of hu man chattelhood. . The gentle teachings of the man of peace have entered Into hearts in every epoch and in every land, strengthening and mellowing the in dividual character and life. Wher ever the example of the Christ is fol lowed there is prosperity and peace wid purity of heart. Widely spread - v " ' S- i i MAl n ' WA AM . -.

Applied to' the lives of men and women in whose hearts the love of God's law was uppermost it has given to us our Luthers, our Wesleys, our Lincolns, our noblest and our best. ' But It is within the space of the past century and a half that the true mission of the gospel has been com prehended and advanced. Little more than a century is it since our first plans were considered to send Protestant missionaries to the East. To-day we have the missionary of Christ in every land. The message of salvation through the Son is reach ing round the world. But let us for the moment forget the things which are behind and look rather upon the present condi tion of humanity. Let us consider our duty as those who are "not ashamed of the gospel of Christ," to carry that gospel into every acting, longing soul. What application has the gospel to the needs of to-day? How can we make it a force in the lives of men and of nations. We find ourselves confronted by diverse and distracting social condi tions. The tendency of the times is toward congregation in large cities. The olden country life becomes dis tasteful, and men in the rush to gain a livelihood flock to the cities. Let us take as an example the City of New York. Here are some of the richest of the rich, the poorest of the poor; palaces, hovels; luxury and ex travagance, penury and destitution; costly cathedrals erected to the glory . of the living God, and beneath their very steeples disreputable dives dedi cated to all that is bestial in man. Commercialism is the watchword. The city, as the land, is money wild. The spirit of combination is abroad, and we see huge gatherings of untold capital to control the industries of the world. Capital fears labor and combines against it. Labor distrust the concentration of wealth and at tempts, with but moderate success, to protect itself from its fancied en emy. The immensely rich live their lives with but small care for or thought of the wretched existences worked out by their fellows in the slums. Vice shows it evil head at every turn. There is in New York a single square, within the bounds of which reside over 2000 human be ings, who live under the most dis? heartening conditions. To our shores have come multitudes from every Eu ropean nation, from nearly all the countries of the world. We have our "little Italy," our German colony, our French quarter, our Chinatown. Upon the same page of a daily news paper we may read heart burning ac counts of the unutterable misery of multitudes of our poor, and the story of how one man is attempting to con trol the supply of the diamonds, or the gold, or the steel, or the rubber, or the railroads of the earth. Thus, in briefest, are described some of the conditions that make the social problem so disconcerting. Let us consider now our duty as men and women who love our Lord to carry His gospel, of light and of life to a world that is so sorely in need of it. The prime duty of the church, here as elsewhere, is to instil into the hearts and minds of men the aeces sity and the joy of the presence of the saving power of the Holy Spirit in tne maiviauai are. mats me spiritual function of the church. The ethical duty of the churen is to im press upon mankind the true relation of man to man and to God. In order to impart her fullest influence it is necessary that the church be filled, individually and collectively, with the deepest grace and the noblest love for man. By the exercise of the true principles of the Christ 'ideals in the commonplaces 01 iiie, iub &c inconsistency must be nullified. As a body and as individuals the church must be a brotherhood which; meas ured " by its own ideals, is worthy. To the church do the people look for the purest, the most unselfish leader ship. That the depth of the spiritual life within the church is a sure indi cation of the height of the morality of the people is demonstrated by the ages past. Upon us as Christian men devolves the privilege so to mold the national mind that the law of the universal .brotherhood of man may become the law of our national and international life. We must con vince the poor of their duty, to the rich; we must convince the wealthy of the dignity of labor.- Ours is the obligation to -1 hasten the millenium of peace through the universal applir cation of the law of love. To accom plish this purpose we. must obey, m our daily lives, that Command of the OF Ay WOOD x CH AS. A- SCOTT, DEPOSITS FROM Master, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God and thy neighbor as thy self." The church must exercise jher pre rogative as the natural leader in all moral reform. That reform which has not the support of the church must sooner or later fail. She must insist on a clean public conscience as the logical sequence of her demands for purity in the private life. It is mot the province of the church as an ecclesiastical body to claim temporal supremacy over the government of the city or the nation, but it is her duty as composed of voting individ uals to demand, and to enforce the demand, , that municipal and national government be undefiled. The poll, tics of our large cities; will he only so bad as the church cares .to allow. In a country where the citizen is king and the ballot alone is supreme strenuously to maintain the honor of the sovereign people should be the high aim of the church. The church must, however, keep strictly in mind the prime object of her existence, Her mission it is to preach the good news throughout the world. In the cities is her mis sion most difficult to fulfil. Here, by .reason of the multitudinous obsta cles that beset her path, she must use extraordinary measures to reach the people. It is not enough that the spiritual needs of the immediate con gregation of any church be minis tered unto. That the pastor preach regularly twice upon the Sabbath, that the- exercises of the Sabbath school progress without1 Interruption, that the prayer meetings occur as is their wont, that the church be prompt in her financial affairs, Is not enough. A yearly contribution to missions in the foreign fields and the support of a city missionary do. not constitute the whole responsibility of any church. The grace of the gospel Is for all - UlCli CfrXl IUvU iUUOV ()UG feAVLAULh? 1 t,e told. To the unhearing and the men. Unto all men must the tidings uncaring must the inspiration of the Infinite Son be carried. Christianity must be proven a practical force in the common life. For the Christ life is practical life written large. As the onl correct system of right living, as the ultimate scheme of salvation must the gospel be presented to the people. To them we must show that the promises of Christ are real, that Christianity is a synonym for broth erly love, for the deepest consecra tionfor the highest purity of life and motive, - that Christianity is Christli&eness. ' The church must carry to the mul titudes of the unsaved a gospel unsul lied by her own insincerity and in consistency. Her creed must be sim ple, her differences dismissed. Her forces must move in unison toward the "common end. '. Sect and party strife must be eliminated. It may be that the great divisions always will exist. Always the Catholics and the various Protestant denominations. J But like a mighty army in which the different r.egiments have each their duty and their position under a com mon generalship, so must the church in waging the peaceful battles of the moral war march, side by side, sect by sect, creed by creed, in full panor ply and with solid front, forward to the victory under the common lead ership of the King of Kings, who is Christ the Lord. , 1 And now a word upbn the manner of the preaching of the good news. The gospel should be preached at tractively. Water street missions and Salvation Army rooms may suit the preferences of that class to whose spiritual natures the workers may wish to appeal. "Wonderful is their influence and to them be all honor. The average self-supporting poor man, however, does not care to feel under any obligation to the- richer portion of the community for his spiritual sustenance. He feels, and all too sadly with some justification, that the mission the very name of which is distasteful to him has been established so that he may have no cause to intrude his unwelcome pres ence upon the mother church. May God sDeed the day when the church will see her duty in this matter. The poor, whose only, sin s is poverty, whose piety is often more genuine than that nurtured in a protected home, should be given substantial opportunity to worship. The Moody revivals prove that the common people respond eagerly and in force to the appeal of the man in whom they can see and imagine only love. The common people heard cnrist gladly when the learned -scorned Him. 1 . " ' -. We often speak of the wilfulness of those who listen to our discourses upon the duty of every man to ac cept Christ as the personal Savior, Ay JISk iy Jly o Vice-Preoidont S100 UP TAKEN. and who do not heed our words. Gen erally we console ourselves with the thought that we have done our dutx at any rate. Perhaps we have. Buf are we justified to say that Christ has been rejected. May it not he that the rejection has been, not so much of Christ as of our presentation: of Him. Might it not be that another? plan with a different personality, with! a different manner of expression. With a something in his nature that would bring him heart to heart with his listener, would convince this sin per, over whom we have tried and failed, of his absolute dependence upon the God who gave him life. The whole power of the body . of Christ must be exerted to save men. Too often men are unconvinced because of our non-appealing presen tation of -the truths of the Bible gtory. Unto all people must the church of the twentieth century ad dress herself. To all men must ,the gospel be preached. But this gospel of the Christ is not merely a system of ethics, not mereljj a scheme of life. It is more. Stv Paul tells us that he is "not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for," says he, "it is th power of God unto salvation to every one that belie veth." Through? it we know not only what God expects of us, but we have a knowledge of the nature of our heavenly , Father. Christ came to preach the kingdom. The outworking in practical life of the principles of the kingdom will make such conditions as we have dis cussed impossibleA r ' With the entrance of Christ into the heart man will become right to ward God.' Being in harmony with! God he will be in harmony with hia brethren. Let us apply ourselves, then, steadfastly to spread the gospel of salvation. A .Th -gospel of our Lord and Sa vior Jesus Christ is the urgent, the immediate need of this world. With in its principles are contained the so lution of all our most perplexing so cial problems. Let us bring our wane dering brethren back from the dis tant country into the father's home. For ourselves let us strive to attain unto that perfectness which, was in. Christ. Enthrone Christ in the hearts of men and the law of love, which is the ruling force in the kingdom of our God, will sway mankind. Then will come peace and happiness and joy. For then shall have come to pass the beginning of the endless life within God for us all. Save men to Christ and you have saved the world. ' The church is confronted with the most stupendous problem with which, she has had to contend since the days of the apostles. But with the prob lem God has given us the power unto victory. His gospel is our shield, ouc buckler, our guide. He doth lead, we need but follow. Let us then as men who are "not ashamed jot the gospel of Christ" go forth to carry; that gospel unto every needy soul. Let us live the Christ life that we preach. Let the church,' relying upon the promises of our Lord, strike out boldly into new fieldsL Praying for divine guidance and trusting to the omniscience of divine love, let us find our duty and live up to it. "7Att nil vour eves and look on the fields. . for ; they are white already to harvest." Are you ashamed of the gospel ot Christ?. . FATTENING CHICKENS., The fattening of chickens can ba hastened in many ways, but the part grain diet is the safest, method.; If only a small number of fowls are to be 'fattened, quick results can often, be obtained by feeding them on baked jbhnny cake or corn meal, with an occasional scrap, of beef containing fat, or pork cracklings. It - would be too much trouble to feed a large num.. berof chickens on such a diet. Heavy mash feeding exclusively should not be tried by novices, as the fowls are often not in condition to stand it. It doesn't pay, as a general rule, to try to fatten old hens. When they have completed their service for you, it is better to dispose of them at once.. If it is desired to fatten old hens, how ever, they should: be confined closely and fed a ration similar to that they received when" laying. If more corn and meat foods are added, be careful not to give them too much, as old heng cannot tand as much heating food as young chicks,, says Journal of Agri culture. , v
