FOR THE BUSY FANCIER
Treatment of Sick Fowls.
In the majority of cases the sick
fowl should be killed, says the Far¬
mers’ Review. Generally it does not
pay to doctor sick fowls, and often
the sick fowl that recovers is not the
one that amounts to anything, after¬
ward.
This is particularly the case wit!
fowls sick with the roup, This
_
disease seems to permeate every fi¬
ber of the birds, and if they recover
at all they are of little value for a
long time. It is doubtful if they ever
fully recover their old vigor. If one
owns a high spirited bird it may
prove to be profitable to cure it for
the sake of the eggs it may produce
which may be used fc^ hatching oth
er high priced birds. But a fowl that
has been sick and has been cure
should not be sold to an unsuspect¬
ing customer. The fowls that are to
be doctored should have good food
and good surroundings rather than
anything else. Their native vigor will
j help would them to recover detriment. when Sunshine medicine

Barred Plymouth Rocks.
The BarredPlymouth Rock has been
termed America’s idol. There is no
other variety the product of America’s
skill and breeding that w T e acn put
on the market of the world with so
much pride, and no other is received
from our shores by foreign fanciers
with so much favor. They need no
booming. They stand acknowledged
without an equal as the best gener¬
al purpose fowl bred. They thrive
anywhere, are rapid growers and
make plump,juicy broilers at 8 to 12
weeks old. As a market fowl they
have no successful rivals among the
pure breeds. They are great favor¬
ites with the farmers and market
poultrymen who breed this variety
extensively, more so than all other
fowls.The Plymouth Rock has reache
a popularity in this country never be¬
fore known. Utility and actual worth
are the basis of this popularity, and
make the Barred Plymouth Rock the
bird of destiny—a 1 breed coine to
stay.
SCIONS OF THE SIGNERS
TO MEET AT YORKTOWN
The Descendents of the Signers
of the signers of the declaration of
independence, contemplate celebrating
this year, in an impressive mnaner, a
Yorktown, Virginia, the 128th anni¬
versary of the surrender of Lord Corn
walis and his British forces to Gen¬
eral George Washington on October
19, 1781.
The program ■will probably cover
three days—October 17, 18 and 19—
the first day to be devoted to patri¬
otic services in the famous old Epis¬
copal church at Yorktown; the secon
day to be known as “Thomas Nelson
Day,” the main feature being a re¬
union of the descendants of Thomas
Nelson, Jr., and the 19th to be known
as “Surrender Day,” to be devoted
to a parade of military and naval
forces in the morning, literary exer¬
cises on the surrender ground in the
afternoon, and fireworks and illumina
tions of the harbor at night, together
with numerous other attractive fea
ures. '
Farm Wagons.
To some farmers a wagon is a
wagon, says Farm Life.
Yet there are wagons and wagons.
It is true that, looked at from the
[ outside or from across the alike,but street,
j the best wagons look much and
down underneath the paint var¬
nish, out of sight of the unsuspect¬
ing buyer, is the stuff that makes
some wagons different from others.
Much of the rough, hard usage can¬
not he avoided, and for that reason
the wagon must be well built or its
life time will be limited to a single
season.
There must be “old fashioned hon
esty” in its construction or its
span of life will be brief. The best
wood, properly put together and well
flanked and braced with the requi
site amount of steel and iron, costs
| money, and the reasonable farmer
| j will take this into consideration when
he comes to purchase. It does not

tion at a reasonable price.

THE NEW RELIGION.
What is true of religion is not
new, and what is new is not true,
God is the same yesterday, today
and forever—-and human nature
is the same, $tiqfe feeing tfeg
CU96, there is no foundation fox'
that “new religion,“that “fluent”
religion, that “changes with the
centuries,” as advocated by Dr,
Eliot.
But for the presttge of his uame
as a prominent citizen and educa¬
tor, the recent deistic, not to say
atheistic, utterances of Dr. Eliot
could do no harm, as they have
been long since exploded; bur. w ith
1 e nut Uinkina and speculative
his words may have weight, and
the more the t>n >
Dr. Eliot has said nothing n^w.
It stead of going forward he has
gone backward and revived effete
heres-* slim 10 those nt the
reign of atheism in France which
resulted in bloodshed and shame
and which sophistries have been
> xposed by snch great thinkers aa
Bishop Butler in his irrefutable
reasoning found in his “Analogy”
between natural and revealed re¬
ligion.
In one sentence Dr Eliot
would seem t ■ recognile God, and
m another would relegate him to
the mummies in denying him any
pan in 1 urn iii affairs—to use his
own illustration, “Trusting to the
surgeon's knife. 7 7
This is practical atheism de®«
pite his espousal of deism. Chris¬
tianity would use both prayer and
the surgeon’s knife, the supernat¬
ural and the natural. Dr Eliot
may say there is no such thing as
the supernatural “as he knows
of”—for instance, the operation
ot the Holy Spirit; and we would
not gainsay the statement ho far
as he is concerned, but he mu9t
not speak for others. John Wea
ey, for instance, when he said of
himself: t ( While attending the
\ dcs_ate meeting, May 24,
1738, and about a quarter before
une, while a iaytuan was reading
Luther's preface to Romans, and
d scribing the change which God
works in the human heart through
luitb in Christ, I felt my heart
strangely warmed.” Are we to
disbelieve John Wesley’s rich re¬
ligious experience and discount
his wonderful work (more won¬
derful and far reaching ».ban that
>f Dr Eliot), because, forsooth,
Dr. Eliot does not believe in such
things—the supernatural? There
is nothing me re real and assuring
t ii u the attestations of our own
consciousness, Unimportant and
inconsequential as I may be Dr.
Eliot, and no one else can shake
the belier „ that the oth

a.udeui at McKenzie College and
bowed at the alter of prayer as a
penitent seeker of religion, at
about ten o’clock at night God for
Christ’s sake blessed me, even me,
and made me to rejuice in con¬
scious salvation from the guilt and
dominion of sin, and my subse
q uetlt life took s 'naP« coloring
from that wonderful transforms
tion. One case of conscious sal¬
vation, one life beautiti d and
pdorned by the Spirit an-1 power
of God, is worth infinitely more
than all the deietic speculation* of
Dr. Eliot and his sympathizers.
I It is unfortunate that one of Dr.
Eliot’s po ition should Lave

principles of Christianity and at
tempt to uproct the very f .infla¬
