How TO FATTEN A Poor HoRsE:---
Many good horses devour large quail
titles OF grain and hay, and still con-
tinue thin and poor. The food eaten
is not properly assimilated. If the
usual feed has beeu unground grain
and hay, nothing but change will
effect any desirable alteration in the
appearance of the animal. In case oil
meal cannot be obtained readily, min:
gle a bushel of faXsced with u bnshel
Of barley, one OF. oats, and another
bushel of Indian corn, and let it be
ground into fine meal. This will be a
fair proportion for all his feed. Or the
meal of barley oats, and corn, in equal
quantities, may first be procured, and
one-fourth part of oil-cake mingled
with it when the meal is sprinkled on
cut feed. Feed two or three quarts of
the mixture three times daily with a
peck of cut hay and straw. If the
horse will eat that amount greedily let
the quantity be gradually Increased
until he will eat four or six quarts at
every feeding, three times day. So
long as the animal will eat this allow
once Che quantity may be increased u
little every day. But avoid the prac-
tice Of allowing n horse to stand at a
rack well filed with hay. In order to
fatten q horse that has run down in
flesh, the groom should be very par
ticular to feed the animal no more than
he will eat up clean and lick his man
ger for more.

Why Not Advertise in Dull Times ?

Since the very nature of an advertise
ment is to secure more business and greater
re,. -. it would seem as if the above
ouast;o, vas practically unnecessary, yet
onr exnerienc1 thus far proves the oppo-
site. There is la,... class OF advertisers
who, when dull times aprrcach, instead OF
exercising the usual sagacity sSmoiteo at
other seasons, tie an additional k;ac~ ID
their purse strings, withdraw their Names
from before the public, and then sit down
to lament their sad fate and wonder why
$50 little is going on" We have often
endeavored to expose the fallacy Of such a
course, and point out its ruinous conse-
quences, yet, neither the example of the
wise and prudent who heed not dull times,
and consequently are not afflicted with
them like others, nor their own ill success
las as yet convinced them of their error.
1t may be laid down as an indisputable
fact, that if in good times it is necessary to
advertise to secure business, in dull times
1t is all the more SC. Why? Simply be-
cause the fact of advertising at all is proof
conclusive that such course will and does
bring business hence the more one
patronizes the press the greater will be'his
revenue, and the moro certain his success
Many men are dependent entirely upon
advertising for success. Suppose they
were to refuse to advertise at all /? "Dull
tines" would be the inevitable result, and
no one would wonder at their failure.
OF course some seasons of the year are
better adapted to particular classes of nd
vertising than others, yet the general adj
vertiser can never afford to withdraw him
self from the public, even for single day,
aud the judicious one never will. Persis-
tency and energy are always requisite, and
their fruits can be gathered by no other
incentives, much less by inaction and
lamentation. If then, you find that bust
ness is dull, or profits are growing beauti-
fully, less instead Of ,hrusting all the blame
upon the poor public, look closely to see
if it is not rather in your own self, and If
convinced of this act, as you would at any
other time, and obyiate the cause by nd
vertising.-[ Rowell's Advertisers Gazette.

christian. This makes the brightest
paragraph in his obituary, the most lu-
minous page in his history. He be-
lieved in and acknowledged the claims
of his God upon him. With his whole
heart he received the Bible rs the
word of God, and embraced the saliva
ton therein revealed Said an Apos-
tie. to one who asked "what must I
do to he savede believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ and those shalt be saved"
The bitten Isrcalite turned his eye to-
ward the brazen serpent and was heal
cd by only looking. The sinner looks
OIL, Jesus-the sacrifice of Calvary and
is saved by only believing. And be-
cause he believes, he is by looking saw
ed, then from gratitude and love to
Jesus he goes on to obey God, to do
what he finds the Savior commands.
Such is the salvation Mr.. Tanner found
in his Bible, believed with all his Heart,
and acted out in his life:
In the Summer of 1926 Ge was bap-
tized upon a profession of faith into the
fellowship IF New Providence Church,
Mississippi; by Elder Marsh. In Oc-
tober of the same year he united with
Bcnlall Chutcll; Cheneyville, by letter.
In August, 1914, ne was elected Dea
con by his Church, and ordained to
that Office ip October of the same year.
At some time, date not remembered,
he was licensed to preach the Gospel.
Occasionally during his life, he adj
dressed his fellow men upon the great
Importance of preparing for future
world, but never attempted to preach
regularly. He has been known to cx-
press regret that when licensed he did
not turn his whole attention in that
direction. -
In his denomination ho held high
aud honorable position. The doctrines
Of his Church he read in his Bible and
believed with all his heart, His honsc
and his heart were open to tho Minis
tiers of his denomination and his broth
rem in Christ. He loved all who gave
evidence that they loved Christ. In
his own Church, in his Association, and
in the State Convention of his own de-
nomination, he always held an honora-
bio position. Remarkably clear in.
Judgment, well read in the scriptures,
interesting and able in debate, good
presiding Ulcer, he was eminently a
useful man. TO III Tie objects of ben
evidence, such as Missions, Sabbath
Schools, Education and Temperance,
he was warm friend, advocating their
claims with zeal and ability, and often
contributing to support them by hun
dreds of dollars.
In giving he often followed the in-
junction, "let not thy left hand know
what thy right hand docth, = and bound
the recipients Of his liberality to So
cresy. He fed the hungry, clothed the
naked and educated the ignorant. We
who win say-"uerily I say unto you,
inasniuch as ye haze done it unto one Of
the least Of these my brethren, ye haze
done it unto me-" lil l..

Aud their blood flowed ont inthe rain for us
Red, rich and pure on the plain for us;
And years may go.
But our tears shall flow
Ger the dead who have died in vain for us.
And their deeds-pround deeds-shall re-

And their names-dear names-without

And the glories they won shall not waue.

Three Persons Perish from Thirst.

+ A correspondent ofthe Salt Lake Telegraph
writing from St. Thomas, Pah Unite county,
June 10th, gives the following mournful par
ticulars of the death of three persons Oh the
desert:
Brother James Davidson, with his wife and
son, the latter about IL years of age, left ST.
Thomas on the 9th of June, intending to
travel to st. George in company with Presi-
dent Erastus Snow and Elder Jos. W Young.
but failed to connect with them, as these
brethren went on ahead, not knowing of their
coming. The family then started alone, tho
unacquaintcd with the country, and about the
middle of the forty mile desert, on the new
road to st. George, their carriage broke down.
1t is supposed that the old gentleman, who
was rather feeble, was unable to fix it up, and
sent his son with one horse and key for
water. They were within five miles Of the
Coquap Wash, where there is water little
off the road, which the boy looked for, but
failed to find. He then started for Beaver
Dam Well, twcnty-three miles off, but when
he got within half mile of it he must have
fallen off the horse exhausted, as his body
was found two days after. The horse went
on to the Well, where were two men from st.
George cleaning it out They tied him up,
and thought no more about it for a day and
two nights, when, as they were taking their
mules to feed they found the body Of the boy,
which they buried On the 18th, Bishop
Lorenzo Young was coming over the same
road, and found father and mother lying dead
in the bed.
