To catch In the hour of darkness Some gleams or eternal light, To cheer some heart In the shadows, To aid some soul in the fight. To feel that the darkest hour Precedes the roseate morn, That the amber and gold of cloudlaud Return with the sunburst of dawn; To learn In the world's great school room The lessons the Master will give Of fortitude, faith, and patience, He teaches His scholars to live; To believe In eternal goodness, That infinite love redounds Oreater than all the evil That on the earth abounds; This ls the sc QI: in the night time, The bursting of prison chains. That solves the mystery of suffering. That cheers In the midst of nins. Songs in the night God givetfc, As to His prophiet of old. Through tears we behold tho vision, While the heavenly arms enfold. Gcmany is-an Isl and of armies en tirely, surrounded by nothing to cat. The French are polite, even in "cuss ing" their misfortunes. 8EWEBAGE IN THE COUNTRY One great problem peculiar to the rural districts is that of the proper disposal of organic refuse and similar j waste matter. In the cities such mat ter 1B completely and satisfactorily itaken care ot in the modern sewerage systems, and thus the city ls enabled to preserve a cleanliness which Is of greatest aid in fighting disease. When such matter is allowed to stand in tho open, as every rural res ident knows, lt becomes a swarming place tor files and a hot bed ror dU easo germs; it polutes the soit and the drinking wator, and is always an un stahtly and embarrassing nuisance. Such conditions aro generally thc cause of BicknesB and disease. The Sanitary Septic Tank,- especial ly designed along improved lines, for use in the rural districts, ana manu factured by Weston & Booker, Co lumbi*. S ii., completely solves tho prollem of aowag? disposal for tho rural homes. It is of small size, made of reinforced concrete simple, easy to IjBtall, never gets out ot or der nor needs attention. Placed Just beneath the surface, and con nected with tile house by a Bhort pipo line, it securely keeps thc poisonous organic waste matter enclosed until by natural process, it disintegrates, and then aeops out into the ground, harmless mineral matter and water. There is no odor, no soil pollution. Approved by health authorities. Its cost ls small. It affords all thc conveniences and the full protection of the city sewerage system. It is well worth your -while xe know all about this Septic Tank, and you can do so by simply writing to Weston & Brooker, Columbia. - S. C.

INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS GOOD EGG LAYERS Those who have raised other breeds of ducks with good success sometime.* fall utterly with lud?an Runners and complain ol their being delicate, writes a correspondent of the Iturul New Yorker. If a few rules are followed there is no trouble in raising ti large per cent of thc hutches. Of course it begins with the breeding stock. Select vigorous mature birds and mate those not akin, five ducks to one drake, and not too large a flock, so every one has a good ciiance nt the feed and water. Let water be clean and shells kept be fore them always. Cracked corn ls good for a night feed, especially In cold weather, but the main feed, should be masb. never sloppy, but just to the Indian runner ducks are not mar ket birds. They are called the Leg horn of the duck family and are well worth raising for egg produc tion. However, they make Ano meat and aro much preferred by many to tho forger breeds. A swimming pond is not necessary for them, but a bath once In awhile greatly Im proves their appearance and ls much enjoyed. crumbly state and consisting of equal parts wheat brau und cornmeal, one fourth the bulk alfalfa meal, one-tifth beef scrap mid 1 per eeut oilmeal. Confine thuin In a house or small yard at night, und do not let them go before 10 u. m.. when all eggs will be laid and can bo gathered, wushed nnd put In tue cellar. Duck eggs spoil very quickly and must lie kept cool. If to be used for hutching turn every day, and do nut keep them over a week if a good hutch ls expected. Indian Run ners aro excellent layers. If fed for it they will begin at four and one-half months old and Joy steadily a good part of the year. The eggs bring as much as or more than fancy white hens' eggs in the city market. ' Duck eggs require much moisture during incubation. . If placed under a hen dip lu warm water every fourth day and the twenty-eighth day wet nest thoroughly. If in incubator sprinkle with warra water every other day. Ducklings pip the shell .and then lie idle twenty-four hours or longer be fore coming out When taken from the incubator place in a warm brooder or in a covered box in a warm room and never let them chill. If hatched with a hen do not let her .raise them; she will kill more than she saves. Tho first feed, given four or five j times a day, is equal parts dry bread j and oat flake moistened with warm water. After three' days omit !r.end and substitute equal parts bran and cornmeal. After thtee days more give the same feed as to laying docks, ex cept that 1 per cent grit ia added. Warm water la given with each feed m very shallow dishes. Hot ann, wind and wet are fatal. Ducks grow rapid, ly and get their' second feathers- at about twelve weeks. Weight ls about three pounds kt ten weeks, an? all culls and surplus drakes can be mar* keted at that time. Care of Poultry. A very little thing will make all the difference between success -and tallara to. the poultry business, and in either ?ase the cause ls. generally with the poultrymnn and not With the breed of chickens he keeps.' There is more ?A the feed than tn the breed, and there is moro in tbe proper care or fowls than the breed and feed both together. Thin prices too but fat values.
