NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Thr fact of the resurrection is one
tof the cardinal poinU upon which
Christian fuith rests. "If Christ bo
not risen." snys Paul (1 Cor. 15:14-20),
Ithen is our preaching vain, and your
'faith is also vain If Christ he not
risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet
in your sins. Then they which are
fallen asleep in Christ are perisheil. j
If in this life only we have hope in '
H hnst, we are of all men most miser
able. Hut now Is Christ risen from
the dead, and become the first fruits
ot them that slept."
It is well to dwell upon the beauty
of the scene. It recalls at once an
other scene, when the babe Jesus had
Just come into the world, and the
whole heavens burst Into music:

"the upper hand, for "the wages of

did notions and corrupt morals often
court death in suicide, while the
thought of eternity Is coupled with
all that is pure, lofty, bright and beau
tiful. Death Is the "end of all for the
man of the world, for those of clearer
vision life has no end.
The various accounts of the resur
rection of Jesus are as follows: Matt.
IS: 1-9; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-3, and
John 20: 1-17.
The essential points of the lesson
are: (!) Christ was in the tomb three
i Impostors; (3) that Jesus did rise
Ifroni the dead, and (4) He showed
Himself at various times during a
period of 40 days to His apostles and
others. Read also the report of the
,gtiards at the tomb to the chief priests,
Matt. 23:11-15.
Christ In the Tomb. The commonly 1
accepted theory is that Christ was bur
ied Friday afternoon, probably about
four o'clock, and rose early on Sun- 1
Hay morning. Thus He was in the '
tomb only a part of three days, and
only two nights. Many have hesitated 1
to accept this theory, owing to the
(Statement (Matt. 12:40): "Foras Jonas 1
iwas three days and three nights in I
"the whale's belly; so shall the Son of j
fan be three days and three nights
In the heart of the earth." This state- I
ment would be literally and fully
substantiated if. as volumes have been
wT-.tten to prove. Jesus was crucified
ment sent him. without being able
to verify or deny it. Before com
plaininsr nsk yourself at what price
you will sell the chicks should yon
receive an order for them, and make
a comparison between their value
and their cost. Farm and Fireside.
THE HENS IN WINTER.
Do not let laying hens eat snow.
A good night feed is parched corn fed
hot.
A large flock crowded in a small
p'.nce will not do well.
A warm feed In the morning will put
hens, in shape for a day's work.
Plenty of warm water is as benefi
cial to laying hens as to milch cows.
Cold winds and draughts will cause
roup. Keep the house dry and close.

'body had been laid, thus leaving no

With the exception of taking hives
of bees to a cellar for the winter, bees
should not be moved during the win
ter. Their location must not be
changed from fall to spring, eith r
short or long; distances. The mos;
damaging change made is to change
for a short distance, as for instam
a few rods. Bees will not follow the
hive for even a few feet away, unlet-
there are no other hives of bees near.
If there ore hires near, the bees will
enter the nearest one, and in motl
cases are promptly killed by the vis
ited colony. This is frequently done,
and the result is that the colony i.
greatly weakened by the change.
During late fall, winter and earl
sprinp, the hives contain the lens
number of bees, and if a change is
made at any of these times, it endan
gers the loss of the colony by decreas
ing the numbers so low, for nenrlv
all the old bees will go back to the! -former
loention. On this account it is
much safer to move long distances,
not less thnn a mile, nnd farther is
better. When thus taken entirely
away from their former travels they
mark a new location and nil return
to it. A colony of bee may be taken
safely nnd without loss anywhere, if
the hive is moved a few feet each day
the bees fly, providing no other hive
is very near them, and they will thus
follow the hive to any required Rpot
we wish them to occupy. Dut It is
necessary that they take a full flight
after each removal, nnd thus mark
the last location. If no other hive is
near, they may be moved farther nt
a time, when they are liable to follow
the hive.
This trouble will occur at any time
of the year In moving bees. It may
lessen the number that fail to return,
if we close the hive nnd confine the
bees In It for a day or two, nnd then
smoke them before letting them out.
When thus filled with honey, they
will to some extent mark the new
location and return to their own hive.

SILVER GRAY DORKING.
A Breed That Is Very Popular In Fnajr
land nnd Hat Many Frleada la
Thla Country.
Here is the portrait of a Silver Gray
Dorking cockerel bred and owned by
Mr. Robert Fltton, of Ribby Hall,
Kerkham, Lancashire, England. This
bird is one of the finest ever produced
of this variety. He excela in size,
describe your wants, and do not ex

sires. A fair hatch from 13 eggs is
seven or one over half though some
are satisfied with five. Xo breeder
can guarantee every egg to hatch.
He knows no more about them than
the buyer, but he should endeavor to
send eggs from vigorous stock. A
customer would be fortunate if ho
got a pair of first-class standard
birds from a sitting of egps. Some
breeders do not get such a pair from
a dozen sittings. The customer is
responsible for the hen that sits on
the eggs, nnd her management while
on the nest. Some customers do not
know good birds when they see them.

Trained Ferret, on Farm..
We are asked how to train a ferret
to hunt rats. It needs no training.
It Is natural for it to hunt rats. If
it is placed at the opening of a hole,
it will enter it. and when it. has
driven the rat out or killed it it will
come out of the hole and can be picked
up. What Is called a trained ferret
will do nothing more or less. All
ferrets, howeveT, are not alike. Some
will hunt better than others. Some
will bite, and can hardly be broken
of the habit. Bat practically a fer
ret is a ferret, and is a fearless hunt
er. These animals are exceedingly
valuable on a farm that Is infested
with rats. Agricultural Rpitomist.
Pnnltry Majinrr I. Valnnble.
The droppings of poultry are better
for some purposes thnn any other kind,
as poultry manure is the only kind
that is free of the seeds of weed.. If
the manure is carefully saved it will be
found excellent for the garden. It is
better to broadcast over the surface of
the ground after the land is plowed' or
spaded, raking it into the soil. To ap
ply it in the rows or on the hills is to
incur risk of damage to tender pinnts.
It may be mixed with dry dirt, land
plaster ot kalnit, and if there are
lumps in the manure they should be
broken by beating with the track of a
spade.
