By September it bad drifted about six degrees farther north and 22 degrees j further east with the Gulf. Stream, and it may have evenually landed on the coast of Europe. ire ( lues of Geography. Scientists feel the lure of the se CI-- is these drifting islands hold and cudgel their wits over the part they ru'ght have played at various times in the history of the earth. Some be lieve these tangled masses of trees, brushwood and water plants, when they floated away and finally landed ! upon the shores of some other land. ; hav<“ been instrumental at various ! times in transmitting .squirrels, field mice, inseits and land shells to other parts of the earth’s surface where i certain species did not originally ex ist. j ne Torniation of these ‘ jack-o’ lanterns’ of the ocean's and rivers comes' about in a very simple way. | The grasses and rushes which grow along the edge of the waters begin a/hing their way farther and farth er out from the shore and in time moss grows over this decaying vege table matter. Soon water-loving plants Such ns alder , sheep-laurel and sweet gale grow with the moss, and then cranberries and pitcher plants push their way out on the shelf un til t hemat becomes about three feet thick. When it has become firm, black spruces and larches begin anchoring it together firmly with their roots. Floats Frequent in Tropics. "When the water rises the float ing mass rises also, but the surround ing shore cannot, and when the wrench is great enough the mat breaks o!f and floats about. These ‘ilouts are often met with in tropi cal waters, particularly in the Ama zon, among the Moluccas and the Philippines. “On the Mis issippi and its tribu taries these islands are called ‘rafts’. Along the seashore they are often broken off by the action of the waves. In ponds where the mats have sur rounded the edges, this vegetation sometimes breaks off and forms an , atoll or ring shaped island. “One of the most remarkable of the Mississippi rafts began forming in the Atchafalaya, a lower arm of the river, in 1778. By 1810 it had be o.,rae ten miles long, more than 000 feet in width, about eight feet dee]), and had become solid enough to sup port a growth (if tree*, some of which W' re 00 feet in height. Finally tfto state of Louisiana had to remove the obstruction at great expense, the work occupying four years. I’ncle Sam Removes “Raft.” “The United .Stales government has since that time removed a raft which blocked the channel of the Red river for 45 miles “The mysterious bits of floatsani were known in the days of Pliny who wrote that there was a dark wood in the lake of Yadimonis which was never seen in the same place for a day and a night together. He also described some islands made of reeds in Lydia which were driven about by the wind and which could be pushed about from place to place by poles. “There are thousands of floating islands in Klamath Lake, Oregon, upon which the tules grow 12 feet high but which will seldom bear the weight of a man. Island ( hangcs Shares. “In Sadawga Lake, Whitinghani, Vermont, a large floating island broke off from the west shore, drifted across the lake and has now become attached to the eastern side. “Floating gardens, which are the cultivated variety of floating islands, have been known in various parts of the world from early times, particu larly in regions where gardens plant ed on terra firma would be flooded, such for instance as the floating gardens of Kashmir and of Xochimil co. The latter supply Mexico City with practically all its vegetables and flow ers. “Sometimes these mats are so firm ly anchored to the shore that they do not break off with high water but be come submerged. For them to appear above the surface the water must sub side or some agency must push the vegetation upward. Marsh gas, which has a light specific gravity, occasion ally docs this, when it is present in large quantities and can escape only by the surface. After the gas has es caped the island again becomes sub merged. “One of the best known islands of this type is the floating island in Der wentwater, one of the loveliest of the YV hore the Delegates W ill be Enter tained at King Mountain \ss« ci.iti«»n ut Double Springs. i ^ • W nshlurn.

Ability tii flioone b*twt*<*n tlu» laying hen and the mmluyer is easily devel oped by poultry owners and should bn put Into practice In culling the flock if the best returns in both eggs and meat are to bn had. In any think sonic hens will lie found which are .such poor producer a Itliut they are tin* prolltabln, and these should he the ones to eat. All linns molt In thn full or early winter. This molting characteristic is easily observed and. when It starts to take place, means that the hen list about finished her laying season and Is turning her attention to grow tug a new crop of leathers for u vacation be fore starts her next year's work. 1? It is desirable to use a part of the flock for meat, says the United Staten Department of Agriculture, tire curly tnoltcrs are ihe ones to setWT for eat ing first I,m uuse they are laying very few or no eggs during this molting season which usually lasts about three months. The hens In the flock should not lie killed until they begin to molt and their combs begin to lose size, col or and flexibility, for If these changes have not taken place the hens will probably still be laying when eggs are especially valuable. As u rule liens of the general-purpose breeds are not profitable layers after they are two yeurs old, and Leghorn liens rarely lay profitably after three laying years. Many of the bens should be culled before they reach these ages and replaced by Well-matured pullets In the fall. Oyster Shell Required by Egg Producing Hen§ Oyster shell .should he kept con stnntly before laying hens. Experl inelils show that fowls will draw lime from the body skeleton If oyster shell is not obtainable In sufficient quanti ties." That oyster shell Is an essential part of the feeding ration and that it should ho kept before fowls con tinuously is clearly shown In the fol lowing excerpt from circulur '.’7 of the West Virginia experiment stution, en titled. Feeding for Egg Production, by Prof. Horace Atwood: “A relatively large i“.m>unt of lime Is required fc the formation of egg shells. Wheeler found that erushed oyster shell when fed to laying liens was the principal source of the lime present in the shells, and he advised feeding oyster shell, especially during the laying season. That hts conclu sions were correct Is indicated by the almost universal use of oyster shell for tlds purpose. One pound of oyster shell will furnish lime for about seven dozen eggs. “In a recent Investigation ilalpin finds that, contrary to popular belief, a lack of calcium or lime In the feed has not caused the production of soft shelled eggs, the hen apparently draw ing on her skeleton for the needed calcium. Soft-shelled eggs, therefore, appear to he due to some pathological condition rather than to u luck of cal cium In the feed. A scant supply of calcium seems to decrease egg produc tion. This result is important from the practical standpoint, since many poultry raisers, believing that soft shelled eggs Indicate a lack of cal cium, do not feed oyster shells unless their hens lay soft-shelled eggs. It la thus possible that a lack of egg pro duction during the lHte winter months may be due to a lack of sufficient cal cium. "Since oyster shell is relatively cheap and since fowls need Ume from this or a similar source, at least when they are laying, it is good practice to keep a supply, constantly availalto.” Poor Ventilation Will Weaken Poultry Flock Give the layers ttie same sir tbey would yet if they were roosting out In the trees, but protect them from the wet and wind. Too low houses or restricted roost lug closets are liable to limit the amount of pure air as well as cause the breathing and rebreathlng of foul air. It is well to consider this in the use of cloth curtains for the roosting quarters. Disease and weakness follow In the wake of impure air. That nteuns the vitality of the laying stock will be low ered, which. In turn, diminishes the normal egg yield.

DR. j. F- WOVE, See. Foreign Mission Board Indicating tin- intent to which tho , foreign mission work of the Southern Baptist Convention has boon sot tor ward by the larger proceytls that have come to it from the Baptist 7T. Million Campaign, 1 >r. J F. Love, secretary of the Foreign Mission Hoard, reports that since 1913, when the Campaign , was projected, the tallowing increases j in the work of that boa id have been made: Number of foreign mission aries on the field baa increased from \ $28 to 540, number of native work i ers from 027 ' to JS.830, number ol I churches from 605 to 891, number pi church members from 49,053 U j 103,928, number of gelt supporting church'd# from 143 to 211, number irt baptisms ;ht year from 5.635 to 12,611 number of Sunday schools from 76i j to 1,447, number of Sunday school pupils from 36,115 to 67,407. numbei of day schools from 512 to 796. numbei 1 of pupils in day schools from 15,721 - to 32,789. and contributions per yea) ; from $173,372 to $437,56x. Baptism* Qaia Rapidly Nearly as many persons have beet baptized by the missionaries on tin foreign fields since the Campaign b*' pan as bad been baptized during al the seventy-five years of mi.-islonar: operations prior to the Inception o this movement, Dr. Love reports, ThJ: dives not include IltiBsia, where mart than one million members have conn into the liaptiBt churches in recen1 years. Nearly one fourth as manj persons were baptized on the fon igt fields last year us there were mem bers, all told, on the foreign fleldi when the Campaign benan. At the time the Campaign begat Southern Baptists were operating on!) in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile Uruguay, China, Japan. Africa ant It lay. As a result of the larger pro ci etls made avalahle from the Cam paign the board has been enabled t< enter the new fields of Spain, Jugo Slavia, Hungary, Rmunanla, and Bus sia in Europe, and Palestine and Si beria in Asia. This gives to Southeri Baptists a total missionary a.udienet of 900,000,000. or more than one-ha)1 the total population of the globe. Viuci r iciua nc-tm tcu But of more significance than th( entry into these n£w fields is the re tnforccuumt that has come to the work in the older fields, in the esti niation of the officials or the Foreign Mission Hoard. This reinforcement consists not only in rending out many new workers hut providing large! equipment in the way of church houses, missic. 1 resident ej, schools hospitals, orphanges, publishing houses and the like. Summarizing the growth thut has come In the forces on the older fields since the Campaign began the following results are pointed out: - Number of churches, 76% Increase; number of church members, 109% in Crease; number of church buildings 45% increase; n timber of schools, £’<% increase; number of pupils, 108% Increase; number of residences foi missionaries, 94% increase; number of foreign missionaries, 69% increase: number of native missionaries, 2C4% increase; number of hospital build ings, increase; number of treat ments given, 61% increase; number oi hospital beds, 104% increase. Much Remains To Be Done With all the Increases that hav« come in the foreign mission work only a port ton of the program that was con templates! for foreign missions as a result of the Campaign has been ac ronipllshed as yet. It is in the hopt Of completing this program through more effectively equipping the work and workers on both the older fieldt and the new ones that the represent atlves of the Foreign Mission Board are cooperating with those of the ti Million Campaign in an effort to com plete the payments of all subscription! to this movement at tills time.
