I hardly dare touch anything with the tips of my fingers for fear they'll come through. AnA last fall, when I got a new pair of gloves to go to that reception to Mrs. Marsh, I had a hole in my shoe.

And if, by any almost impossible The greatest handicap in the com- mercial poultry business is the fact tliat the market price of eggs is de- termined by the thousands of flocks of mongrel hens which are running on the farms and producing eggs without the owners knowing anything of the cost of production. The bright spot in] the poultry business is the fact that! the farmer poultrynian can beat the| record of these mongrel flocks, which I are often poor layers, by improving! his stock and raiding quality birds! and then striving to keep them well fed on the home-grown feeds and waste pr.iducts which has enabled the farm flock to turn out eggs at a fairly, small cost of production compared with t';e commercial poultrynian. | There is no reason why the pure- bred flock of bred-to-lay fowls should' not be maintained as cheaply as a flock of mongrels. The difference in' the returns to the owner is worth con.-idering. A farmer can grow a crop of potatoes, raspberries, tree, fruits or corn o;i every acre of range used by his poultry. All the waste' products of the f.irm can be used to produce eggs. Th*. gravel pit will furnish the grit for the hoppers in the poultry hof.se. The necessary green food can all be raised in the garden and in the c'.over field. The day of the well managed farm flock has arrived as people are beginning to appreciate the value of fresh e.ggs as never before. Meat is scarce and high' and iggs -ivill probably follow the trend of meat prices. There is a good future for well managed poultry flocks in the hands of practical farmers, but the man who buys all his feed and sells eggs and poultry meat at market prices is not apt to stay with the business under present conditions, if he figures closely the cost of produc- tion of eggs and meat. â-  along the opposite wall from the door chance, I have new gloves and hat and or under the platform, where they, shoes at the same time, it's because may be darkened somewhat.

Here again the old adage that "an ounce of- preven- tion is worth a pound of cure" is doubly true. Sanitary measures be- fore the hog is put in the house will largely prevent epidemics of disease. Other diseases than cholera are often caused by unclean conditions in the hog house and pen. Some of these are sore mouth, bull nose, necrosis of the ears and tails, and the swine plague, or contagious pneumonia, which often develop in suckling or weanling pigs. A few hours spent cleaning out old litter and manure may save you a good many pigs later on. A reliable disinfectant should be applied to the walls of the houses, troughs, fences, and any other place where germs might be lurking. Creolin is efficient for this purpose, and lime is good. Dc not be afraid to apply plenty of the disinfectant, and see that all the corners, especially, are well treated. Tlie same sterilizing process is used by many successful feeders in the feeding racks whichjhey use for their sheep and cattle. Many times there are disease germs lurking around that cause serious losses which might have been prevented if proper sanitary measures had been taken. , , . ^ . t. , â-  ' em to be ahve with weevil and fuilj ^0^3 that I can't have, but I keep re- : bottles into the tester.

This is a deformity of one of the toes that consists of flexion of the middle joint so that it projects above the level of the other joints, and the toe itself rests on its tip instead of on the padded under surface. Looked at sidewise, it is suggestive of a tack ! hammer; whence its name. .•^ny of the toes may be thus de- formed, hut most frequently it is the second one; the trouble is caused by the big toe being deflected outward. This displacement of the big toe, cal- led in medical Latin hallux valgus, is usually the result of wearing pointed â-  sjioes. The inner side of the shoe,; instead of being straight, as it should . be, bends toward the centre, and so forms a sharp point that is supposed to give beauty. The shoe may be , regarded as beautiful, but the foot in- ! cased in the shoe is in process of | becoming deformed. I The deflection of the great toe is not necessarily painful, but it results usually in the formation of an en-' larged joint and a bunion, and also! displaces the second toe. which rides) over the great toe or bends into the ' shape of the hammertoe. The bending makes three prominences â€" the tip of the toe, the ball of the toe. and the- top of the middle joint â€" which are! exposed to friction of the sole and the ; upper of the shoe, and become the] seat of corns; the middle prominence is also sometimes afflicted with a bun- ion beneath the corn. The treatment of hammertoe is not usually satisfactory, for by the time the physician is consulted the flexed joint is usually stiff. If it ij stiU movable, a cure tnay he effected by strapping the toe down to a splint made of a thin, flat piece of wood or gutta-percha or padded tin. That, of course, can be done only when the oig toe. if that is the cause of the trouble, has been straightened and the patient has been persuaded to wear a proper shoe. Usually, however, thd only thing that brings complete relief is to amptJtate jJje offending toe. Another operation that lias been proposed with a view to saving some or the toe con- sists in excising the middle joint and in uniting the severed ends of the two bones to make a short but stiff toe. INTERXATIO.NAL LESSON S^PTEMIiER 11. The Future Lifeâ€" .Matt. 23: .31-46;] John U: 2, 3; 2 Cor. 5: 10; 1 Peter j 3-5. Golden Text, 2 Cor. 5: 10. I A Parable of Judgment. â€" Matt. 25: 31-4(5. The parable represents the con-j summation of Christ's Kingdom, when; He shall "sit on the throne of His; glory" to judge the nations. There] will then be a separation between tiie sheep and the goats, between the good and the bad. The good are invited to "inherit the Kingdom" and enter "into] eternal life." The bad go away intoj eternal pun'shment. j The parable makes !' clear that the determining factor in judgment is to be what m.en have done or neglected to do to and for each other. Even where they have not known that they were! serving Christ their ministry of kind- ness to those who were in need re- ceives its reward, and their failure to exercise this ministry, its punish-! ment. To feed the hungry, give drink! to the thirsty, entertain the stranger, clothe the naked, visit the sick and the prisoner â€" this is to serve Christ • and qualify for the eternal reward. Not to do these things is to m.erit condemnation. j The Bible unmistakably teaches sal-' vaticn by faith, but it is a faith that works. See James 2: 14-18 and 2 Cor. 5: 10. True faith finds expres- sion in all good works, and it is thus that faith is tested. The judgment of God, we may be very sure, will take account of what men do in their re- lations with each other, and no pro- fession of faith will ever be complete in itself without the doing, or the will to do, deeds of mercy and kindness. On the other hand, a latent, u' expres- fort to troubled hearts. Be no troubl- in deeds of self-sacrifice and self-for- getful kindness, or in heroic devotion to some great a-nd worthy cause, as we have seen again and ;'.gain in the experiences of the great war. Surely many men and women who, in an hour of high devotion, putting aside life and what life had to give, offered themselves Upon the altar 01 freedom and humanity, will be found among those surprised by the recognition of Christ and His saying, "Y'e did it unto. Me." I The Father's House. -John 14: 1-2.' This is Christ's great word of com-' commit our spirits into the hands of ed. A place is prepared for you in the Father's house. There is plenty of room, room for each and every r one, a place prepared by our Lord and Saviour. Jesus Christ. And He who has prepared the place will come again and take us each to be with Him. Therefore we look forward to that last event of life without fear. Like our Master Himself, we shall commit our spirit into the hand of God. We shall go to dwell in the Father's house. '• ".â- ^"ter all," as one great man has said, "immortality is a dreary pros- pect if our Father is not in it." W. Adams Brown (The Christian Hope) says truly, "If, we wish to make faith in another life credible we must fill this life with value. And the one sure way to do this is to discover with Dr. Rainy that "our Father is in it" â€" the Father whose loving purpose for us and for all mankind Jesus has reveal- ed, and in whose >?rvice, which is at the same time the service of our fel- lowmen, we find our freedom and our peace." ] An Incorruptible Inheritance. 11 Peter 1: 3-5. The apostle gives thanks to' God for the "living hope" to which we have been brought through our faith in Christ, a hope based upon the resurrection of Christ from the dead. Because He is risen we believe that we. too, shall rise again. Because He has entered into the glory of the life eternal we also shall enter and live with Him. Richer than any earthly inheritance is this inheritance in heaven, "incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away." For this we wait in steadf.ist hope, and "by the power of God are guarded through faith." The full significance of it is not yet revealed, but it will be re- vealed "in the last time."
