ALUEOF POULTRY PRODUCTS ior Methods of Preparing and Mar keting Deprive Poultryman of Much of Hla Profits. (By F. H. STONEBURN.) Poultry products of various kinds rm one of the greatest crops pro ced upon American farms. The er Increasing number of farms and ants devoted exclusively to poultry eplng produce large amounts of gh grade goods, although these are aonslderable when compared with a vast supply coming from the small cks scattered upon the farms and the villages throughout the coun 7. Unquestionably the great bulk poultry products has come in the st from the latter sources, and this ndltion is likely to continue. Many farmers concede that their cks of poultry yield them a fair oflt, although any Intelligent ob- j rver has but to spend a short time Investigating the great markets to j irn that poor methods of preparing d marketing alone prevent the pro cer from receiving much greater re- ! rns. The majority of poultry raisers ; il to realize that their profits could I largely increased, first, by the oduction of better and more uniform od»; and second, by improved meth s of disposing of them. Not infrequently It is stated that ?h-grade goods sell themselves, d In a sense this is true, but it is t enough to turn out superior ods: much Is lost If they are not irketed in the most careful manner, le poultry man who receives e highest quotations for Ills prod ferent Styles of Egg Cases. -roughout the year Is the one udies "how, when and where" ket. He learns that during cer lontlis in each year there Is a ge in different kinds of poul jducts, and he plans to produce ge a quantity as possible of products during the season of supply. He then ascertains In markets he can dispose of goods to best advantage, and es and packs them according to quiremente of those markets, try products are concentrated iluable, although not extremely , ible. Therefore, improved means j isportation make it possible for j ultryman to place his goods in e nest markets without greatly In eased expense. Feed During Molting. The molting of fowls is a natural ' ocess and not a-disease and no i *ical treatment is necessary or de- j t»le. Feed molting fowls just as ; would feed them at any other j i, only remember that molting ia I > during hot weather, and less car- ! aceous food should be given than ?n the weather Is cool. Oats, wheat, clover or alfalfa or any leguminous jds may be used more because the :ather is warm than that fowls are altlng. Any sort of green food Is od; so are beets, turnips, bulbs or bers of any sort that they will eat. sy should have little corn or other t-produclng food. low turnips for poultry food, ibis is the month to wage war on >.

HEAVENLY HOME FOR LOYAL Pastor Russell Says the Jews Hoped For Earthly Paradise Restored—Jesus' Teachings Concerning a Heavenly Nature and Home Were New—His I Leaving Was Necessary, but He As sured Them He Would Come Again. Meantime the Spirit of Truth Would Comfort Them. Buffalo, N. Y., ■Bfefe «H I'astor Russell's dls a courses here today lljrJj wns from the text: House lirt! many For more than four thousand years before the Savior cauio, no suggestion bad been made re specting any home for humanity aside from this earth. The paradise of Eden, lost through disobedience, and God's image In humanity, almost obliterated by sin and death, God promised to restore. The right to life forfeited by Adam for himself and his race, God purposed to restore to all the willing and obedient. But all these blessings were to come through a Be deemer, the Mediator of the New Cove nant, (lie Messiah. Humanity knew not the possibilities of Restitution, but Israel had the fact typified in their Jubilee year of Resti tution, which occurred every fifty years. They also had typical sacri fices of a Passover lamb and Atone ment Day offerings, representing some means by which God justly met for them tlio requirements of Ills own Law. They realized not that this satisfaction of Justice would be ac complished by the death of the very Redeemer who subsequently would be the Restorer. Their minds naturally dwelt espe clally upon the great fact that Mes slab was to be of Jewish stock; and that Israel was to have the first chance of the choicest blessings In connection with Messiah's Kingdom. As they | waited for Messiah and His Kingdom, j they fondly anticipated their own na tional blessing. Seemingly, they over j looked the fact that the blessing would | be an Individual one, in harmony with i the Divine arrangement. They hoped for a resurrection from the dead "at ! the last day,"—in the great Seventh j Thousand-Year Day or Epoch, and ex j pected it to bring them from the sleep i of deatli back to earthly conditions. Some of theui hoped for a "better j resurrection" than the majority, be | cause of their loyalty to God and their j willingness to suffer for righteousness; i but even these expected to be, not an | gels, but men. Was not Abraham liini j self promised that all tho land which he could see should, eventually, be his? . What could this mean except that he ! would be resurrected, as an earthly being, to enjoy this promised inheri tance? St. Stephen points out that Abraham never received, in fulfilment of God's promise, as much of that land "as to set bis foot upon." (Acts : vit, 5.) Undoubtedly, therefore, the en i tire promise of the land is future. The possession will come to Abraham, and will be given to his seed, bis posterity, after him. Heavenly Promises —"Like Unto An gels." God's plan was allowed to rest as though forgotten until Jesus began to accomplish another and different work. He began to ( all the Bride class from amongst mankind both Jews and Gen tiles. Without explaining the full de tails, He invited all WHO desired to be- I come associated in His Kingdom to take up their cross and follow Him He promised them a jolnt-heirship with Himself in His Kingdom. He told them that those who tittaln unto that Age and the resurrection, would nei ther marry nor lie given In marriage— "like uuto the angels"—sexless.—Luke xx, 35, 30. No wonder the Apostles were sur prised! No wonder Xicodemus hesitat ed to endorse something so different from what be bad anticipated in the way of blessing; and he came to Jesus by night to Inquire further! No wonder the Master's words were perplexing when He said, "Ve must be born again!" No wonder Xicodemus, in per plexit.v, asked about this spirit birth and found the answers perplexing! Jesus did not attempt to give him a full explanation, but merely said that If he bad difficulty in understanding ' earthly things, how could he expect to I understand Heavenly things.—John ill, 12. Restitution Waits, but Not Abandoned. The whole matter is plain in the light , of the New Testament teaching. Be i fore the time for blessing the world. ! God is selecting therefrom a class to | constitute the Bride of Christ, the faithful I.lttle Flock. The Church is to ; be associated with lllm in blessing the human family with Restitution. But the Bride class itself is to experience u I change of nature from human to splr | Itual. This was difficult for the Apos | ties to understand. Their minds would i continually revert to nil earthly king ! dom, but the Master repeatedly drew j * i their nttentiou nway from the earthly. m i He declared, "M.v Kingdom Is not of j this Age," and told the disciples that He would come again in power and | great glory, and all the holy angels j | with Him; and that~then lie would sit ' upon the Throne of His Glory—upon which they would sit with Him, if faithful even unto sacrificial deuth. Tha Heavenly Mansions. The Lord endeavored to draw the ( minds of His*followers away from the earthly hopes of an earthly kingdom, which they held in common with all j j Jews. The disciples knew of various t I orders of lieings on the angelic plane— -1 I cherubim, seraphim and ordinary an ' I gels. .Tesus made no suggestion of 5 , changing His disciples into any of these • I angelic orders. Rather, He gave them . j to understand that they would const 1- i tuto a new order of creatures. The questions then naturally arose, Is there a possibility of having a still different , order of beings on the Heavenly plane? 112 j Did not the creation of man a little lower than angels imply a sufficient va ,* rlety of creations on the angelic plane and higher? s These questions would seem propel ; enough; and to these our Lord's words. I make answer: "In My Father's House i are many mansions"—many apart ► ments, many divisions. Yet all are i holy, all are In full accord with Him and with each other. "I goto prepart . I a place for you," My followers—a j Heavenly mansion, i St. Peter, discussing the subject, tells 1 us that in God's providence the Church is not only a New Creation, but a crea tion on a higher plane than any other of (Jod's creation. St. Paul says, that! I our Lord Jesus, having finished the work which the Father gave Him to do, I "ascended on High," to the right hand of 1 lie Divine Majesty, to the place of , chief favor. He declares that this po I sition ta "far above angels, principal! ties and powers and every name that is nnmed."—Epliesians 1, 21. St. John, speaking of the Church, de clares that we may not yet fully appre i clnte what we shall be, but we may "know that, when He shall appeal [our Redeemer), ve shall be like Him for we shall see !L: i as lie Is." (I John ill, 2.) St. Peter, however, tells us the real height to which the Church, tin Bride of Christ, Is to be exalted. He says, <Jod hath given "unto us exceed ing great and precious promises, that by these (working in us His will 1 wc might become partakers of the Divliu nature." — II Peter i, 4. The Heavenly Three. Following the testimony of the Word of God, we recognize Jehovah God Himself, from everlasting to everlast ing God, the Head, the King, the Fu ther, of whom are all things. Next to the Father we recognize our Heavenlj Lord, whose name at first was the Lo gos, the Word of God, His Messenger, who subsequently was made flesh | dwelt among us and redeemed us; and | who, as a reward, has been exalted to 1 the Divine nature and is set at the right hand of Jehovah God, to begin ! Ills work of blessing mankind. He; waits also until the Church, His Bride. ; shall have been completed and shall j have passed beyond the veil, to be for j ever with Iliiu on the Divine plane. ! Ills Joint-heir. These are the Heavenly Three—all of the Divine Nature, far above all j other natures, all other planes of ex- , lsteuce. Vet always we are tore- ■ member that the Head of the Church j is Christ, and the Head of Christ is God, as St. Paul declares: for although i all of God's blessings are by the Son. ! yet those blessings are all from the i Father.—l Corinthians viii, C. In passing, we should note how these Scriptures and air the Scriptures continually show that the Heavenly Father was not Ills own Son and that the Heavenly Son was not His own ! Father. In our text the Master de clares, "In My Father's House are j many mansions." Jesus, the chief Son. ' has special privileges and special pow er; audit is by tlie Father's arrange ment that (he Bride, the Lamb's Wife, is to be brought Into the highest of Heavenly mansions, the Divine na ture, to be Joint-heir with her Lord in j His Messianic reign and In His ever lasting glory thereafter. "I Goto Prepare a Place." But why did Jesus need togo to pre- ' pare a place? Ills disciples did not j wish Him togo and leave them. When- * ever He spoke along this line they j were grieved and perplexed; and on j one occasion St. Peter brought upon i himself a special rebuke by saying. J "Be It far from Thee, Lord; these I things shall not happen unto Thee." ' The disciples were like children. They hnd absolute confidence that they were to share with Messiah the glories of Ills Messianic Kingdom. They won dered why Jesus did not stay with them and attend to the establishment of the Kingdom at that time; or if It j were necessary to wait for a season. I why He might not tarry with them | instead hf going to the Father, as He j had often told them that He would do. \ Our Lord did not wish to give them. any intimation respecting the length of i the Gospel Age, lest the knowledge-j should discourage them. Therefore He-' merely said, "It Is expedient for you. J thnt I go away"—necessary for you ! l.'nless He should go away, the Holy J Spirit would not come upon them. They j would not receive Uiat power from on i High, of which He had told them., j which they saw exemplified In Him.] and which they experienced when lit- i put Ills power upon them aud sent: ! them forth as His representatives to* | work miracles and to proclaim the Gos ■ pel of the Kingdom. After Pentecost, when enlightened by the Holy Spirit, they could understand the necessity for Jesus' leaving and for ; His receiving the Holy Spirit begetting to the Dlvlno nature. They, like all j mankind, were children of Adam aud | therefore Inheritors of lilrs death sen tence. The Father could not, according ' to His own just laws, recognize sinners as sons. Before they could receive tlie Divine begetting of tlie Holy Spirit ihey must first be justified in the Di vine sight. If was to Justify tlie Household of Faith thnt Jesus ascended on High, "there to appear in tlie presence of God for us." lie Imputed to us before the Father the merit of His own sacrifice, and proposed to adopt us as Ills mem bers. Then Divine Justice accepted the Advocate's proposal, and that meant the acceptance of our proffered sacri fices, as the members of Jesus. Ten days after our Lord left Ills Apostles, the Pentecostal blessing came upon them. St. Peter explains that It was the Heavenly Father's rec ognition of His acceptance of the fol lowers of Jesus who were entering Into covenant relationship through Him by the covenant of self-sacrifice. The transaction involved all subsequent k members of the Household of Faith to the end of this Age. As a result, the Holy Spirit came upon the consecrated. They were to be made ehilireu of (Jod; and "if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, our Lord, if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together." j —Romans viii, 17. Growth In Grace. Mistakenly, in the past, many of us j have supposed justification to be the j goal of the Christian—merely the for- ; giveuess of sins. Now we see that tills was a great mistake. Now we ! see that Justification by faith Is only i a stepping stone to sanctiflcatlon—the , beget I In# of the Holy Spirit as New . Creatures in Christ. Moreover, we | see that even our sanctiflcatlon by the begetting of the Holy Spirit is not sufficient, nor our goal. The Spirit-begotten ones must grow- In grace, In knowledge, In all the fruits and graces of the Holy Spirit. They must be tested and proved as to their loyalty and faithfulness. Fiery trials, testings, tribulations, must be allowed to come against them to prove the depth and sincerity of their love for God. Graciously, their testings are not along the lines of the flesh, which is acknowledged to be Imperfect, weak, and which Is acceptable as a sacrifice only through the merit of .Tesus. Their testings and acceptance are according to their mind, their will, as New Crea tures in Christ. "I Will Come Again." The Master would be absent during the period of the selection of the Bride class—ln Heaven Itself. Yet by Ills Spirit or Power, the Holy Spirit, which is also the Spirit or Power of the Father, lie would have full knowl edge of all the affairs of Ills people and would providentially make "all things woi together for good to them that love Him." Suffer they must; en- I dure trials and testings they must, in I order to prove their loyalty even unto i death; but His grace would be suf j flclent for them, and Ills strength ! would be made perfect in their weak ' Tiesses; and He would never leave ; them, In the sense of abandoning j them. So long as they would abide ; in Hlni by faith aud by loyalty of I heart-intention, lie would overrule all i things for their good. After tlie selection of the full num | ber of the Bride class, He would come again to receive them unto Himself. | He would con;e relatively in the same I sense In which He went away, in the ' sense in which He has not been pres , ent throughout the Age. lie would I come In the sense of taking charge of ! the affairs of the world. He will take to ITliuself His great Power and begin His reign. His first kingly office will bo In respect to Ills Church. He will" call His own servants aud reckon with them first, lie will reward the faith ful by allowing the unfaithful to pass ' into tribulation with the world. As Satan has for a long time been i"the prince of the power of the air." "the prince of this world," so Messiah, after binding Satan for a thousand ! years, will assume Ills rightful title | as the King of this world, the King of | Glory. Ills Power will also be the I "Power of the Air," or a spirit power: ! but, unlike that of Satan, it will he » i Holy Spirit power. Ills saints will be called away with Him, to share IPs i Throne and Empire, "the Power of the Air," His Spiritual Kingdom. Thus (lie Bride of Christ will he completed, when the foreordained number of the Elect shall have been found and proved worthy by trials and testings, and shall have gone be yond the veil. Then the glorious King dom of Messiah will begin its work for mankind, restoring nnd blessing, very much as Israel had understood end as all the Holy Prophets had ex plained. Describing the coming bless ings, which will begin with Natural Israel and extend to all people. St. Peter says, "Times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and He shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you, whom the Heavens must retain until the Times of Restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all the Holy Prophets since the i "world began."—Acts 111. 19-21. ' I exhort you, brethren, lu the words j of the Apostle Paul, "Let ns fear, lest j a promise being left us of entering \ Into Ills rest, any of us should seem I to come short" (Hebrews iv, 1). If we have been begotten by (lie Holy Spirit, j let us walk In harmony therewith. Let ' ns endure faithfully the necessary I trials and discipline, that we may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing. I"For If ye do these things, ye shall never fall; for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly luto the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."—ll Peter i, 10. 11. MISSOURI CURE FOR GAPES Disease Most Prevalent In Damp Weather, Caused by Worm In Chick's Windpipe. (By MRS. JOHN J. MOORE, Missouri.) A most common disease among chickens and one which causes great loss in the summer is gapes. This disease, which is most prevalent in cool, damp weather, is caused by worms, which get in the young chick's windpipe, causing it to gasp for breath and if not dislodged, shutting off Its supply of air. Sometimes the worm can be twisted out with * horsehair, but this Is a severe remedy and other worms may j take its place. The following is a preventative and will check the trouble at once: Obtain the leaves of the common woodworm, sometimes called Jerusa lem oak, a plant which grows wild in most places, having an erect shrub bery stem and small, yellowish flow ers. Its leaves when crushed have an unpleasant odor and are used in the manufacture of vermifuge and to i protect clothing and furniture from moths and other insects. Mash the leaves and mix in a small quantity with the chicken's feed or putin the drinking fountains. Or, after the seeds have ripened, i they may be used instead of the , leaves and a quantity gathered for future use.
