OIKKENS CARING FOR MOULTING HENS To Hurry Fowls Along They Must Be Fed Liberally—Feed Them Mash and Plenty of Grain. Some people make a dreadful fuss ibout the poor moulting hen, while this moulting process is just as natu ral as It la for a hen to live and breathe and no more critical than the laying stunt, provided the hens are fed enough to keep up the waste of the body and at the same time manu facture the new feathers, says the Field and Farm. The sooner the feath ers are grown the sooner the eggs will come and to hurry them along as fast as possible the fowls should bo fed liberally. Give them all the maßh they will eat and a good feed ing of grain at night. ' To many folks It looks like throw ing away money to practice heavy feeding while no eggs are coming in, but this is one of the secretß of get ting winter eggs. The moulting sea son is the most critical period in the life of a hen. Orowth of new feathers is a heavy strain on vitality. As the hen Is fed on the average ranch it requires from two to four months to recover from the effects of it By giving the necessary materials with which to make the feathers so that a hen will not have to take them from the tissues of her body, she will bo ready for work as soon as she has her new plumage and often before. Pullets should be handled In the same way. They are not yet fully devel oped and will not begin to lay until the amount of food they consume la enough to support growth with a sur plus to go into something else. SECURE PROFIT FROM DUCKS Eggs Can Be Bold at High Prices snd There Is Always Good Demand for Their Feathers. A nice flock of ducks Increases the profits on the farm every year. The eggs can he sold In the spring at good prices, for setting, and there Is always a good sale tor feathers. They are much less trduble than chtckenß or turkeys'because they sel dom die from any kind of disease. Ducks will always take care of them selves after they have been hatched a short time. As soon as the ducks are large enough to eat sprinkle thick curd In their boxes. Shallow vessels should be used for watering. A good plan Is to All a flat pan Trio of Colored Rouen Ducks. nearly full of pebbles, and pour In water. They will drink In the little pools between the pebbles and be kept from getting too wet After they are three to four weeks old water will not hurt them. The Peklns, Rouens and Indian Runners are the three most popular broeds, the latter being a perfect egg Xachtne, but small in slie. The Pe klns lay well and are excellent table ducks, making a very desirable mar ket duck. They weigh: Adult drakes, 8 pounds; young drakes, 7; ducks, 7, and young ducks, 6. In all there are ten varieties of standard bred ducks. HEAD LOUSE ATTACKS CHICKS Poulterer Must Look Closely for In jurious Little Insects in Order to Qet Healthy Birds. (By A. C. SMITH, Professor of Poultry "Husbandry, University Farm, St. Paul, *Ulnn.) The head louse attacks young chicks generally before they are feath ered out, and is first found on the head with its claws or feeders sunk into the skin of the head. As they become more numerous, they attack tW throat and neck as well. The remedy Is simple, but it takes a little time. Each chick must have Its head greased with lard, cottonseed oil or olive oil. You will have to look close ly to see these insects. They are very destructive to chickens and must be controlled or exterminated If the chick la to be healthy. Setting a Turkey. In nearly all cases it will be best to allow the turkey hen to hatch out her second laying of eggs. The weather is usually warm and settled, and she will raise them with very little trou ble.

SELLERS, Director of Wwmm- Ins Department The Moody Bible In stitute of Chlcaso.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 31 ISRAEL AT SINAI. LESSON TEXT—Ex. Vt-tL GOLDEN TEXT—"Let u* have grace whereby we may offer service well-pi— Inr to Ood with reverence and aw*."— Heb. 12:23 R. V. The securing of water at Mount Ho rob, the battle with the Amaleldtes and the visit of Jethro, Moses' father in-law, are the intervening events be tween this and last week's lesson. A suggestion as to the historicity of the Exodus story is indicated in verse 1 of the lesson. "In the third month," these are not the words of an impos tor but of the careful historian. The place. Mount Sinai, was a familiar one to Moses. It was at ths base of this range or mountains, "at the back of the desert," that he bad met and received his commission from Ood. (Ex. 3:1-12; Acts 7:30, SB.) Let us consider the entire chapter. The Highest Source. I. "A peculiar treasure," w. 1-S. Thus far there has been no law to guide the Israelites except the yword of Ood by the mouth of the prophet As a nation they must have laws and the proper time has now arrived to promulgate those laws. But it is nec essary to Impress the nation with the source, the sacrednees and the strength of law. Its source Is the I highest—Ood; its sacredness Is in the nature of its source—Ood; its strength [ is in the matter of their obedience. "Moses went up" and "the Lord called." When we seek the place of separation from man and the place' of seclusion with Ood we may expect 1 to hear him calling us. (Jas. 4:8.) j Once before Ood had called to Moses in this placo (8:4) and Moses was i taken by surprise Now it is the man of experience who Joyfully seeks the Lord that he may receive a message for his waiting people. Ood begins; by reminding him of hie acta in Egypt and at the Red Sea (v. 4) and by his figure, "eagle's wings," he empha sizes the fact that none else but Je hovah wrought this deliverance. Even | as the eagle bears Its young upon its wings so has he borne out of Egyptj this nation which is as yet but a babe. It is yet to be, however, his peculiar treasure and upon one condition only , —obedience. They are to be a king-1 dom of prloets, persons with a right access to God, spiritual sovereigns and a holy nation set apart to pre serve the knowledge and worship of Ood if they obey his voice. "A peculiar treasure," on the con- j ditlon of obedlenco Israel was his peculiar people, how sad that they ever departed from that lofty prlvl- j lege. In this present age It is the church which Is called out to be • chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation and the people for God's own possession. (I Peter 2:9, 10 R. V.; Tit. 2:14; Epb. 1:11 R. V.; Rev. 1:6; 5:10; 20:6 R. V.) 11. A sanctified people, w. 7-15. That the Israelites might believe Moses forever, Ood was to come and converse with him from a thick cloud. Before this took place, however, they must cleanse themselves, set guards about the mountain lest any draw too near and be put to death (v. 12). Ood's revelations to men are never made to those who with lust in their hearts cling to their sins. Trumpst Not Material. 111. A wonderful revelation, w. IS -25. Ood's descent was signalized by every object of grandeur and awe that Imagination can conceive. The burning mountain suggests the con suming fire to the transgressors of the law about to be revealed. The booming thunder and flashing light ning amid the stillness of the wilder ness would arouse universal attention, and has not the law thus attracted the attention of ages? The enveloping cloud reminds us of another moun tain experience, see Matt. 17:6. The trumpet emphasises the supernatural, that it was other than a material trumpet blown by human breath. Read in connection with this lesson Isa. 6. Our Ood Is not alone a Ood of love but he Is a being of Infinite majesty and holiness, "a consuming tire," Heb. lft:29. Too often ws presented an emasculated Ood; we need to em phasise. in this day* 'hatH sides of his character. At least two locations are pointed out, each of sufficient area to acoommodate those gathered un der Moses' leadership (v. 17). Though he trembled (Heb. 12:21) yet he ap proached with confidence, I John 8:21, this Interview with Ood. No sooner had he gone a little way up the mountain than he 1s ordered'to re turn In order to keep the people from breaking through the bounds to gaae, rv. 21, 22. Summary. The murmurlngs at Re phldlm (eh. 17) seem incredible so soon after the song of Meses (ch. IS) and the supply of manna (ch. 16), yet how soon darkness makes us for get the brightness of bygone light, Im minent danger to forget previous de liverance. Man alone cannot cope with these, emergencies; Ood alone can provide. Ood's revelation and declaration have In this dispensation been repeated in almoet Identical lan guage to the heavenly people, the church of Christ (I Pet 8:9. His methods, though seemingly stern, are those of grace and mercy. v I Write I to Smith When your shoes wear out what do you do kick and go barefooted? No, you o'et new ones.
