Rats and Vermin. by the United States Depart(Preparedment of Agriculture.) The kind of a floor to build in your poultry house whether of earth, wood or cement will depend on several conditions. Each kind of floor has Its advantages and disadvantages under certain conditions with which the poultry keeper should be familiar. Where the soli is light and well drained, earth floors are economical and sufficiently comfortable for the fowls. Where drainage Is not good and on heavy soils, especially those containing much clay, floors of wood or cement are generally preferred. Earth Floors. A floor of earth needs to be renewed at least once a year. If the droppings that fall upon the floor are carefully removed at frequent, regular Intervals, much of the earth Is removed with them. If the regular cleaning of the floor Is superficial, the earth of the floor to a depth of several inches becomes so mixed with droppings that its condition Is very insanitary. When the poultry keeper has a garden, the manure obtained by removing the earth floor of the poultry house will compensate for the labor of renewing the floor, and the new earth required can be taken from a convenient spot on his own land. When the poultry keeper must pay someone else to take away the old earth and bring In new, the cost will in a few years exceed the cost of a cement floor. Cement Floors. The principal fault of a cement floor is that it is likely to be cold and damp. These conditions may be corrected by covering the floor to a depth of an inch or two with dry earth or sand, using over this scratching litter of straw or wood shavings. Floors so treated require as much routine work to keep them in good order as earth floors, but the supply of clean earth required Is much less and the work of annual renovation is eliminated. . Wood Floors. Floors of wood are not now much used In poultry houses except when the space under the floor Is high enough to be occupied by poultry. A wooden floor close to the ground soon rots, while any space under a floor not high enough to be used for poultry makes a harbor for rats and other ver- The Quinine That Doe Not Effort Head Because of Its tonlo and laxative effect, Laxative Bromo Quinine can be taken by anyone without causing nervousness or ringing In tbe bead Tbeie Is only one "Bromo Quinine.

In regions where severe freezes occur it is doubtful whether the cutting and burning of asparagus tops is advisable. The old tops hold the snow and prevent deep freezing and the blowing of soil. Some growers thoroughly harrow the bed after the tops are removed, others throw a slight ridge over the row, but ridging is not necessary unless there is danger of Injury by severe freezing during the winter. Where land Is inclined to wash, cultivating and ridging In the fall are objectionable. Moment by moment. Difference In Profit and Loss In Farming Often Represented by Good Implements.

A glance over the past discovers much to regret in the way of failure and duty, and lack of earnestness and Christian living, and the future is faced with a sense of responsibility to meet which requires serious consideration and special preparation. So the feeling arises : I must reconsecrate myself to God and enter upon the year ahead with new purpose of Christian fidelity. But how shall this be done? The usual way is to attend a consecration meeting, some special device appointed by the church for just this purpose. It may be a watch night service, or an early prayer meeting on New Years morning, or some other religious service intended to deepen the impression of Christian obligation, and lead to a new resolve of Christian faithfulness. The meeting is attended in all sincerity,' and the effort is made to bring oneself Into harmony with the idea or purpose of the proceedings. No doubt an added momentum in the Christian course may be obtained by the effort to secure for oneself a firmer purpose of fidelity and devotion to God at the beginning of a new year, but this should be regarded as an uplift to a higher plane on which to start out for the coming year, rather than as laying In a supply of spiritual stores sufficient to last throughout the year. If one can gain a fresh sense of the presence of God, ever ready to dispense the needful stores of grace, and in this consciousness start out on a new period of Christian living, determined to avail himself of these supplies waiting for him at every stage of the journey, he will have gained a permanent advantage, and not a mere temporary elevation of feeling. To attain the realization of a present God, a helper in the time of need, in the sense of whose presence and sufficient grace life is lived moment by moment this is the condition of a consecration which will outlast times and seasons and give to Christian character an increasing divineness, the reflection of Gods own light. To get upon a level at the beginning of the year that will Insure the companionship throughout, In the Joy of which all the days and months shall be traversed, this is a new consecration worth while. God may seem to come nearer to the Christian at the beginning of the year than at other times, but this is only because then he stops to listen to his approach and waits to talk to him more familiarly and seriously than at other times. If he will do this day by day, the consecration meeting will be indefinitely repeated and prolonged. A New Years Wish.
