Management of Sheep at Shearing

When sheep are sheared, as soon
as the fleece is off. take q stiff brush,
dipped in a solution of salt and
soap (whale-oil soap is the best,)
in water, and rub them all over
with saturated brush, which will
produce a white lather or foam.
This stimulates the skin to red
ness, and prevents the animals from
taking cold; it loosens the scurf,
and promotes the future growth of
the wool, and also improve its quail
ity. And the application is a sure
exterminator of the vermin. For
want of the brush, a woolen rag
might answer the purpose. The
application, if used, will be found
productive of many good results

he finished his translation OF the
New Testament.
The next translator of the Holy
Scriptures, was born in the year,
1883, and his name was Miles
Coverdale. He followed Tyndale
to Hamburg, and there they as
sisted each other in translating the
lvofdo OF the Lord, fneo the English
language.
There were several other trans
lations made during the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries. But to
give you better idea of the various
versions, and of the progress made
by our language, 1 will here insert
q verse of Scripture, that you may
see at a glance the history of the
English translations of the Bible.
Wiclifs translation, 1880, John
18th, 1st verse
Be not you're herte aAraied; ne drede it,
yc bileuen in God and bileue We in me"
Tyndale's translation, 1884, John
14th, 1st verse
"And he sayd vnto his disciples! Let not
you're hertes be troubled. Believe in god and
believe in me-"
Cranmer's translation, or the
Bishops Bible, 1889, John IA, L
"And he sayde vnto his disciples; Let not
you're herte be troubled. Ye beleue in God
beeue also in me.
The Geneva translation, or Bible,
1851, John 14th, 1st verse
"And he sayd vnto his disciples, Let not
your hart be troubled ye beleue in God: be-
lcue also in me-
The Rheims, or Catholic trans
lation, 1882, John 18th, 1st verse
"Let not your hart be troubled-You be-
lceye in God, believe in me also
The Authorised version, or trans
lation, when the King OF England,
and the Bishops of the English
Church, agreed, and decreed, that
the people should have the Scrip
lures in their own language, 1911,
that is the year when the transla-
ton as wenow have it was finished.
John 18th, 1st verse
Let not your heart be troubled, zee be-
leeve in God, believe also in me"
You will thus see, dear young
friends, that our language has I'M
proved since the last translation
was made, and brought to a close,
in the year 1911. We do not spell
many words now as they did then.
What blessing it is that we have
the Scriptures; let us take care to
make wise and right use of them,
and look up to the ministers Of
Christ, who are appointed to explain
them to us, and to teach us the way
of salvation.
In the time of Wiclif, man
gave good milch cow for one of
the Epistles, and another man paid
two hundred dollars for a copy of
the New Testament. Now, you
may buy both the Old and the New
Testaments for thirty cents, and in
England, the whole Bible is sold
for twenty cents. Surely we ought
to be much wiser and better than
our ancestors, but | fear we are not
as good as they were.

NEVER SAY FAIL.

KEEP pushing-tis wiser
Than sitting aside,
And. dreaming and signing,
And waiting the tide.
In life's earnes battle
They only prevail,
Who daily march onward
And never say fail.
With on eye ever open w.
A tongue that's not dumb,
And a heart that will never

Though thousands assail:
How strong and how mighty
Who never say fail
Ahead then keep pushing,
And elbow your way,
Unheeding the envious,
And asses that bray;
All obstacles vanish,
All enemies quail,
In the might of their wisdom
Who never say fail
In life's rosy morning,
In manhood's firm pride,
Let this be the motto
Your footsteps to guide;
In storm and in sunshine,
Whatever assail,
Well onward and conquer,
