a returiling to the ongmlll status There have been two attempts, dur rug the history of the church to put a sabbatic character upon the Sunday WIthout success The first was made dunng the dnrk ages

nae on Monday and as Dr H "sey remarks t s cunous to fiud the mstances of pUDlshment to c ustc around the later hours of Saturday (Sabbath.) In short, a complete system Of JudaIcal rIgIdities a.nd ab­surdities was founded upon the bas s of Church authonty Rlld en forced by n mberless frauds and falsehoods

The reformers of the sIXteenth century discarded such Vlews and went back to the loose no-Sabbath !SID of the third Rlld fourili centu nes ~at out of which Sunday keepmg was born and by which God s Sabbath was driven from the ROIlliBh church. As a result the present stat~ of the Sunuay m Eu rope s as much like the Sunday dunng the years of ts childhood as the chRllge of times and peoples willillow A German Sunday s as sabbatic as was U.e Sunday be fore the advent of the eccleBlasti:llll

WINTER FEED OF POULTRY The follOWIng s from the Par e

Farmer There s even greater need of attention bemg pa d to supply mg fowls WIth annnal food dnnng the later months of the fall anQI through the wmter than m the summer months because the fowls can then, m a measure obtain theU' own supply by catchino- wmged m sects, and p clring up 170 ms When a scarc ty occurs they will sc ",tch the ground lind unearth e'VlID' thmg that may be below the surf~ be t worm or seed, as every garden er knows to his sorrow

But m the wmter all such opel'lJr tons are suspended. The msects burrow deep and the ground f eez.­es over them or else they pensh outright The hens are henceforth put on an allowance of corn, bavmg less change m the matter of food than the state pnson con'Vlcts enJoy Now hens will eat corn and thri e on t, to a certain extent when they can get nothing e se to devour They ma-y keep fat and prepare themselves to be devoured at Cln st­mas, but they will lay very few eggs, and are liable to become unhealthy

To msure a good supply of eggs dnnng the mnter we must fee 1 our liens WIth materials that conts n " " good supply of those snbstances from which eggs are formed. Fresh meat chopped fine b ts of :fish, nuds of cheese and such like thmgs saved from the table to-day will come back to the table III due time m the form of new laid eggs

That the poultry may remam healthy durmg the wmtor they should occaSIonally be fed WIth vege­tables. Boiled cabbage s good and carrots. Too many farmers reverse tho food that shonld be fed to hogs and poultry They gIve the hogs all the warm cooked leavmgs from the table and furnish the hens WIth brea1das~ dinner and supper from the corn anb The oppos te rule would be he better one for both hen and .hog

As t reqUU'es about four ho"rs for the stomach to digest such a meal t must have rest after work, J st as the hands or feet reqUll'e rest after theIr work the e shou d be at least five hours between the meals of dyspeptics and not an atom of Imything should be eaten betwe n As therefore the e shonld be at least five hours mterval between meals for dyspept cs and t s not necessary to ellt at n ght for then we are asleep It follows tbat we shonld ellt .\lot oftener than tIu~ce a day \
