■4: -4c ir fc )t Ample Room Secret To Broiler Raising Each Bird Needs 0.6 Square Feet oi Space There’s good money in broiler fs&ing, providing efficient and scientific production methods are (employed. Proper housing that gives (Sufficient room is a “must” for a successful broiler operation. The University of Delaware agricultural experiment station has found that In this sections lly-built poul try house, which is 16 feet wide sad 60 feet long, an Indiana broiler producer raises 1,200 three-pound broilers every 10 or 11 weeks. “broilers should be allowed at least 0.6 of a square foot per bird.” For the farmer who wishes to start raising broilers in a modest way and develop the business grad ually, there is available an “ex pandable,” sectionally-built poultry house that is ideal. The four-foot sections may be added as required. Some poultry raisers have such buildings 300 feet long, but they may be made as long as required. These arched-roof buildings are strongly built on a framework of laminated wood rafters and cov ered with Masonite tempered hard- board, which weathers well and is durable. Their curved shape pro vides ample headroom, and there are no interior pillars to take up room and impede movement. Summing up the effects of crowd ing, the experiment station says: “Rate of growth, uniformity of gr >wth, feed consumption, cost per pound of broiler, and pounds of broilers sold per chick started are production factors adversely af fected by crowding broilers.” Northern States Alerted To Cattle Health Threat Cattle owners in states along the Canadian border are warned to be on guard for outbreaks of bovine anaplasmosis. This is a malaria-like blood dis ease of cattle that was once con sidered mainly a problem of the south and west, where it causes multimillion dollar losses. Now vet erinarians also are finding the dis ease in northern states formerly considered free of it. Reporting on the problem, the American Veterinary Medical As sociation said that some cases re cently diagnosed in Minnesota were so mild they escaped the owner’s attention. Other cases were passed off as some sort of poisoning, simply because nobody figured anaplasmosis would be striking that far north. Cattle that recover from it re main as carriers, and many of them have been shipped from the badly infected areas to northern states. They look healthy but have ana plasmosis germs in their blood and are a ready source of infection for other cattle. Nine-Ounce Egg Rufus Jennings of Oak Knoll farm is shown wi'.h a nine-ounce egg laid by one of his 5,000 New Hampshire hens recently. Jen nings found no dead bird indi cating that the hen survived. The egg is the largest to be weighed on an ordinary egg scale and tops previous U.S. mark of eight and one-half ounces set by Windham, N.H., hen. The Windham hen died. Nebraska Radio-Active Phosphorus Test Planned Ot fertilizer tests with radio-ac tive phosphorus are slated for sev eral places in Nebraska this spring. Robert A. Olson, who will be in charge of the tests, said the in vestigation will be made to find how much phosphorus delivery power there is in several Nebras ka soils. Tests will also show what proportions of the phosphorus which is used by oats comes from the soil. Serve an Appetising Tray at Snacktime! (Set Recipes Below) Appetising Ideas ONE OF THE nicest ways to en tertain is just to ask friends to drop in for a snack.

[Stunning Daytime Dress Features Trimmed Tabs SCRIPTURE: 1 Kings 12:18-33; 16:21. 17:24- n Kings 17:1-18; Amos 6:1-7. DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalm 11. How Nations Decay ##mHE mortality rate of nations is * 1009k.” So Dr. T. W. Lingle used to put the fact that no nation yet has lived forever. They all die sooner or later. What kills them? The student of his tory may delve in to such books as Gibbon’s “Decline and Fall of the Ro man Empire” or Spengler’s pessi mistic “Decline of the West”, or Toyn bee’s more optimis tic six-v o 1 u m e “Study of History.” Dr. Foreman But when the juice has been squeezed out of these learned and interesting volumes, the Truth’s es sence turns out to be much the same as what we can find by read ing the Old Testament. True, the nations under the Old Testament lens are not big empires like Rome, still less like the British Empire; the kingdom of Israel was only about 106 miles long and 60 miles wide, while the kingdom of Judah was smaller than many an Ameri« can county. • • • Promise W HEN Solomon died, the king dom he had inherited from David had already shrunk. After his death, what was left immedi ately split into two kingdoms, the one on the south called Judah and the one in the north called Israel. The nation of Israel, which lasted more than 200 years, be gan with great promise. Indeed, one of God’s prophets (I Kings II) had given to Jeroboam, the first king, the same promise which had been given David, of an enduring kingdom on con dition of obedience to God. Everything seemed to be favor able. Israel had more territory than most of her neighbors had, a far more productive soil, and easy ac< cess to transportation. • • • Crash r RAEL should have succeeded; but it failed. Only a little more than 200 years afterwards, no very great age as nations go, it crashed completely, never to rise again. When the walls of its “impregna ble” capital city of Samaria, after a two-year siege, fell to the batter ing-rams of the Assyrian army, and over 27,000 leading citizens were deported, that was the end of Is. rael for £ood and all. How did this happen? Hie Hebrew historian ties everything into a few words when he says that they wrought wicked things . . . they rejected God’s statutes * . . they served idols. But what were the details? What, in particular, did the nation of Is rael do that was wicked? Reading the prophet Amos will give many of the answers. At the time he preached, by all chamber- of-commerce standards Israel was at the peak of production and pros perity. But he foresaw doom around the corner, and he gave reasons. He called a spade a spade. Read ing him, or even reading the bald er accounts in Kings, we can see the collapse was no mystery. • • • Other Gods a NE thing fundamentally wrong with Israel was idolatry. This was not the simple matter of making carved images; it meant taking some other “god” to be the true God. We know what the religions of Chemish and Molech and . Baal were like; they were thor oughly bad. In the law of the true God, life and purity were regarded as sacred; life and purity under these other gods were held cheap. But one can see from reading Amos that what the people of Israel real ly worshipped was still another idol to whom no statue was erected: their own pleasures. Too many citizens didn’t care what happened to the country, so long as they could get their liquor. Well, let us not read the Old Testa ment from mere curiosity. What about our own nation, our own peo ple and times? The United Steward ship Council (now the Joint De partment of Stewardship of the Na tional Council of the Churches of Christ in the U. S. A.) reports that every year since 1934, excepting 1936, has shown an increase in giving through the churches. But—the percent of this increase is not so large as the increase of annual income. The increase for contributions through the church of God is less, far less, than the in crease in spending for alcoholic liquors, soft drinks, candy, football games, jewelry, and a multitude of other things. We, like Israel, are putting God last! (Caprrlffct 1961 by U>« Division oi Christion ESnesUon, NnUonnl Connell of the Chnrehes of Christ in the United ftUtos of Amoriss. Released hr WNU renter os.) Prefabricated Celery They were entertaining friends in their new prefabricated home. Suddenly one of their guests sat up sharply and cried “Sh!” Then, he said, “Surely you don't have mice already in this nice new house?” “Oh, no,” replied the homeown er. “Those aren’t mice. Those are our neighbors next door eating celery.” Yuk, Yuk! Starch burned on to the bottom of an iron can prove a nuisance in ironing.
