GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



BILLY SUNDAY AND THE SALOON CROWD. 



We clip the following (from Ridgway) 

 in the " Busy Men's Corner " of the Sunday 

 School Times : 



Only this very day I have read an intemperate 

 attack by a minister upon Billy Sunday — to the 

 great joy of every saloon man in the town. This 

 very same paper prints a list of saloons that have 

 just lost their licenses thru this same Billy Sunday's 

 stirring and searching evangelism. This Pennsyl- 

 vania Pharisee would undoubtedly have heaved his 

 rock at Stephen as joyfully as he stabs his pen into 

 Billy. Billy Sunday di-aws thousands to strike the 

 sawdust trail. These stone-throwing critics draw 

 little beyond their salaries (Rev. 3:14-18). As I 

 write we are busy fighting rum here in Pennsyl- 

 vania. The saloon-keepers give us no anxiety. They 

 are in front of us fighting their best. But our "good 

 Christian temperance friends " give us our wounds. 

 In fact, the saloon crowd is printing sermons by 

 " Christian ministers " defending their cause. 



The Dollar Hen 



My opinion is that "The Dollar Hen" is 

 not only one of the best books on poultry 

 that we have at the present time, but it is 

 worth nearly as much as a dozen other 

 books. Perhaps this is extreme, but we 

 have very few books that are strictly up 

 to date, and still fewer that pitch right 

 into the superstitions and humbugs scat- 

 tered thru all our poultry books and jour- 

 nals. — A. I. Root.
