W*»want to *o to church and we want our children educated. But there are a great many country churches which ate either missions or struggling along to meet expenses just because the roads, which lead to them, are so mis­ erable that half the time the member# of- the congregation can not attend service and put their hit in the col­ lection box. “Tike Jhe country schools, largely the backbone of the country.

POULTRY RELISH SKIM MILK Oas of Vory foot of Foods for Grow­ ing Chloks, ffupin.fi Digestion In Qbod <5rdsr,' (By B. G. WJ8ATHSRJ3TONEJ Very few people understand the value of skim milk as a food for poul­ try. They rejiidt it and it is very good for them, either sweat or sour or bub ternilk, if it is not too cold. JdJIk take* the place of meat scraps to a certain extent. Ip, fact, the feed- lng of meat oan be put down one- fourUi when the fowls have all the skim milk they can drink, and the re­ sults obtained wilt be the same. Milk is fine to feed laying hens and will materially Increase the egg yield. It is one of the very best of foods for the growing chicks; keeping thejr digestion In good order and hastening their growth, as it contains the ele- manta necessary for their develop- raent. ■Where milk la fed regularly and a teaspoonful eaeh of ginger and soda added to each gallon every third op fourth day, there will be no cholera or other bo.wel troubles. Stir the mix­ ture until thoroughly dissolved before feeding; This is very easily prepared and will keep their digestive organs: toned and sweetened," When fattening fowls, skim milk should bo used to mix the maSh., They like It better and. in this way are in­ duced to eat just as much more, as the milk while,serving as moisture to wet the mash is also a hearty food,1 The food for young ducks should be mixed with milk a a curds mado from sour milk are indispenBible for young turkeys. Remember that milk will*not take the place of water, as it bo soon turns to solid food in. the crop. . Keep water before the chickens the same as ever, no matter how much milk they may have. 'Oh every farm there is more or lees milk for feeding and it will pay to see that the chic&eng get their share of it. SPROUTED GRAIN FOR FOWLS Green Food May Also-Bb Supplied In Form’Of Any Surplus Supply of ' Vefietabiei bn Hand. Where'it is possible a winter crop should be planted to ,‘furnish green food for the fowls: it does not take a large arpa to furnish green food fpt the fowls» and usually plenty of space may be found for this purpose. Rut where' one has only a city lot, and a green crop is out' of the question, ar­ ia gements should he made to sprout oats, rye, wheat or barley. If no other space- m avkHablb a'box of soil will suffice. The .box may be fitted with grow, If the grain is to ba fed as Soon as the seed sprouts a box of Shad is. sufficient The box may be set in a collar o r ht the kitchen*near the stove in very cold weather. . ', Green food may also, he supplied In the form, of any surplus vegetables that you may happen to have on hand. The best plan for feeding them is to place a nail Iq the houses on the wall just high enough SOthat the hens will be compelled to jumpa little to reach i t Than take a beet or any other veg­ etables that you desire to feed and stick them on the nails. It Is a handy little arrangement, and, compels the fowls to exercise for their food. PREVENT CROWDING ROOSTS Difficulty Encountered Where Many Birds Are Kept Together Is Handily Eliminated. . When a great many chickens arc roosting, together the tendency Is to crowd until a part of the fowls are pushed, off the roosts, Roosts made as illustrated will guard against this trou­ ble, says a writer in the Missouri Vai- - j - l *r ' ^ - x v _____ U • y *LJ *■ * Said. "When you stop to think of It Ohto hr, after all, only a huge cooper­ ative enterprise in its governmental aspect, and every citizen is a stock- holder. I am a business man and live in town. To my mind I regard good roads from the standpoint of an In­ vestment and I am looking for profit­ able Investments all the time. If the highways, which lead from the rural districts to my store, are in good con* dltioa and the farmer can come in without’his wagon and buggy, horse a&d harness being put to the hard­ ship# imposed by poor and muddy ‘ rc^A H ts aMy to * ^ that,he will. thetr neighbors, attending occasional meetings of clubs to which they be* long Or the grange; perhaps an occa­ sional party or a journey to town for a part of a day. Sometimes they geL away for a visit of a .week or so, but not often, With roads as they are all of these are denied many of them at so1’sons of the year and they must re* audit patiently at home endeavoring to-find contentment in their lot, and it takes the patience of a Job to do it, liea'ly Xdo not see how a farmer can look his wife or daughter In the face when there is a poor road before hit home Or la the neighborhood. . . . Tho facts relating to life on the farm and the highways will bo driven home as probably they were never driven before. Two of the presiding officer* st tho congress Will bo Lieutenant Governor Hugh L. Nichbts and Speak­ er Charles L, Swain, both of whom are enthusiastic in favor of the things for which the congress stands. The program will bo equally Inter­ esting' to those who live upon the farm or in tho city. It is to he An event unique in the history of the state and will combine features which while most Instructive wni not lack In entertainment.

An egg to belong to the strictly fresh egg class, should not be over J days old In summer weather, and a week old during the winter. But In either case they mbit be kept in a oool temperature. Heat very quickly stales eggs. Crates of eggs allowed to remain in the hot sun for several hours will quickly change their con­ dition. Turkeys for Ma.'Ket, The hen turkey# sell first, and mo- dium-sised carcasses sell best in mar- ket. The market turkey should be shorter in leg# and neck than Is ordi­ narily the Case, and very full in the breast,- With a compact body, meaty and fat, rather than of a large Size and coarse structure.
