Many of the most beautiful figures in
Holy Writ are taken from rural life. An
instance: 'The Lord is my shepherd;
shall not want. He maketh me to lie
down in green pastures, He leadeth me
beside still waters"
Trees for transplanting from the forest
should be selected, so far as possible,
standing apart from the others. In rails
ing them from the seed care must be
exercised to gather and plant the seeds
at the right time. It is impossible to
specify the time for sowing all kinds Of

SOW them soon after they are ripe.

from personal experience abundant
data showing that the law IS that the
older and: larger an animal the more
food it requires to make a pound OF
growth. This law is as immutable as
those that hold the spheres
in their courses. It has been said to me
that it is cheaper to make a pound of
growth on an l8-months-old pig than in
a younger one. That man that keeps a
pig beyond eight n onths makes pork al
a greater cost than necessary, and if
kept until eleven months, at say 20 per
cent. OF more beyond what is necessary.
