FREE GIVING.

BLEssES THE GIvER.-The people re-
sponded generously to the call of their leader
for means and materials to construct an ap-
propriate house of worship, and to maintain
fitting opportunity for their spiritual edu-
cation. Having been duly notified of the
work to be done and its needs, those
"whose hearts stirred them up" and "whose
spirits were made Wiling" all who were
"willing- hearted" both men and women,
contributed freely and generously. gold,
and silver, and brass "COPPER" and wood,
and jewelry, or precious metals and stones,
and yarns and woven fabrics, and leath-
or and skilled labor, and whatever was
needed to accomplish all that COP had COM
manded through his servant Moses. The
women who were skilled in the art = wise
and willing-spun the wooden and faxen
yarns. and the men who were like minded
and hearted wove them into cloth for the
draperies and covering for the sacred tent.
Other men gave precious metals, stones and
wood. The princes contributed the jewels
for adjoining the sacred vestments, and the
precious ointments and costly perfumes to
be employed in the ceremonies of conse-
Grafton and worship. All who contributed
appear to have given freely and according to
their station and means. They were willing
to contribute more than was needed ixxxvi.
SD, though the tabernacle when completed
and furnished was magnificent, elegant and
costly. The estimated cost was more than a
million dollars. The Israelites we're not i'm
poverished. though they had been greatly op-
pressed, but were thrifty and prosperous,
characteristics that distinguish their descend
ants in our times. The precious metals were
marvelously abundant in the ancient world,
according to the testimony of the historians.
So generously did the people contribute that
the individual gifts were not necessarily
large, nor could the aggregate have been felt
really burdensome. We are informed in the
account (xxxviii, 26) that the whole amount
of silver contributed was half-shekel (hf-
teen cents at most) per capita of the enum-
Grafton which included all males over TWEEN
ty years of age. When the people really have
mind to work great and blessed enterprises
are not only possible, but are easily accom-
plished. The workers themselves are blessed
in doing. The faithless murmurings of the
Israelites we're silenced by their oonsecrated
interest and activities. The surest remedy
for discord and encouragement in Chris
itan church is to engage in some enterprise

MRS. AsENETH WEAVER MILL1KEN.

MRS. ASENETH WEAVER MILLIKEN.
Mrs. Aseneth weaver Milliken, mother of
Rev. G. S. and A. j. Weaver, departed this life
in Alstead. N. H., June 17th at the advanced
age of eighty nine years and seventeen days.
Mrs. Milliken. nee Wiley, was native of the
town of Rockingham, VT, having been born
and reared near the village of Cambridgeport,
and continuing to reside III this and an adj DIN
ing neighborhood for fifty years. Here she mar
ried John Weaver. and unto them were born
nine children, eight of whom reached adult
life and five of whom are still living useful
and honored lives. In 1916 Mrs. Weaver mar
ried James Milliken and moved to Alstead. N.
H., where she has resided for forty years,-for
the past fifteen years widow.
Mrs. Milliken was noble Christian woman,
genuinely Christian in her thought and
faith, and nobly Christian in her life. Her
faithfulness in her home to her family, her
kindness and even tempered cordality to her
friends, her patience, thoughtfulness, and use
fulness to all who came within the circle of
her influence. endeared her to every one and
made her life a blessing to the world. She
was member of the Universalist church of
Alstead, and continued to give the influence
of her presence at the services until her last
sickness. although latterly she was unable to
hear word spoken from the pulpit. She was
notonly thoroughly Christian in faith and con.
duct, but also woman of great natural intel
lectual ability-keen to perceive and grasp the
truth and wise to execute. She kept her in
tellectual powers unimpaired in her extreme
old age, and impressed all her friends as a
wonderful mental and moral character. She
died as she had lived, calmly. and sweetly, con-
scious to the last. Not only in her own life,
but also notably in the benefcent and infuen-
tial lives of her children has the world been
made richer and better. 1t seldom falls to
the lot of mother to perpetuate.the sterling
qualities of manhood and womanhood through
large family of children, and live to see
them take such marked and useful stations

Winter shelter For Cows.

In the winter it is necessary, thinks q
wri.er in the Mirror and FdrNer, to con
fine cows much in warm shelters and
even in summer, especially when soiling
is the practice, the COWS will be in their
shelters not little. The successful dairy
man viii give the greatest attention to
stables. In fact, the success Of the dairy
man, while by no means altogether due
10 it, is usually measured 10y lis study of
sheltering and the WISDOM and care he
shows in the building and care Of COW
stables.
The frst point is ventilation. Without
II. foul air will soon collect in the stables
air fouied not only by the matters
from the lungs and eutaneous glands Of
the animals, but by the exhalations, not
altogether ayoidable, from their excre-
ment. This foul air will so poison ami
mails, reduce their thrift, and therefore
their production, and favor the appear
ance Of disease to such an extent that
this alone would justify the necessary
ventilation. But the dairyman, more
than the beef grower, loses by foul air in
the stables. It seems necessary 10 milk
in the stables; at least, it is very incon-
venient, and occasions an expense of la
Dor, not TO do so; and the foul gases in
the stable will begin the contamination
of the milk as soon as it leaves the udder
The absorptive power Of milk is almost
surprising, and If exposed, for only
short time, 10 the matters that must exist
in an unYentilated shelter, the best but
ter cannot be made from it. The loss 10
the dairyman is generally more than he
imagines.
II the dairyman also rears his own
COWS there is a further reason for ventila-
tion. The poisoned blood Of the COW is
the blood Of the fGtus. The COW con-
fined in a foul shelter cannot drop a
vigorous, thrifty calf.
For the same reason that he has an IN
usai interest in ventilation, the dairyman
has an nnusaI interest in light in the COW
stable. Light IS as essential TO the
health and thrift of cows, as it is 10 the
health and thrift Of nearly every one of
the higher animals. But, besides this,
sunlight is an important agent in puri-
fying the stable. Filth and foul gases
breed in darkness; sunlight Is their foe.
The more light admitted into the stable
the less dampness and contamination.
And why should there not be an abund-
ance Of light where glass is cheap and
can be protected by few barsi have
no excuse for basement stables so situated
or put so far down in the earth that they
cannot be well lighted; and I am free to
say that l think a majority of the base
meut stables are Of decidedly doubtful
economy. In the management OF dairy
cattle the handling Of their excrement is
= matter of importance, and is intimately
connected with their stabling. We eau
not afIord 70 waste this excrement.

Sheep Raising.

A farmer writes to the " ise0nsin Agri-
eiilturst as follows: On every farm where,
what We may term mixed farming is car
ried on, variety of crops raised and
different kinds Of stock kept with the
view of feeding, out upon the farm, as
much Of toe products Of the farm as
possible it is an item to keep few sheep.
Just how many should be or can be
kept. viii Of course depend upon cir
cumstances. But many farmers will find
that few can be made TO increase the
profit, and in many cases will consume
what in most cases would otherwise 20
o. waste. As it is what we can and do
save thus adds TO our wealth. Sheep can
be regarded as something that will aid
US 10 save. Their products, the wool,
and the lambs can, if desired, be mar
keted in the spring at a time. when the
average farmer has usually but few pro-
duct TO market. A cheap shelter Is all
that is needed during winter weather,
and II this is made reasonably warm,
and kept dry, very little grain will be
necessary. Like all other stock, 1t
pays 10 keep sheep in good thrifty
condition. And during the winter
some grain will be found necessary; but
If plenty OF hay or good fodder is sup
piled the amount of grain needed will be
found to be small. If the hay or fodder
is run through a cutter and bran mixed
with il, there need be but little grain fed.
During the summer they need but very
little attention, if they can have the run
Of a good pasture and have plenty of
water convenient.
In many respects they consume what
the rest Of the stock leave in the pas
lures. and during the winter they can be
kept on roughings, principally, rather
than gram. and by planning ahead
large supply can be secured at small ex-
pense. nice flock of sheep upon the
farm may be considered in much the same
light as the poultry. A great part OF their
living they will pick up, while what we
are obliged to feed them during the win
ter is a small item as regards the per cent.
Of profit that may be secured
OF course, even with them it pays to
use reasonable caution to keep them in
good condition economically; but a
good shelter and feeding hut can be
provided and the manure we can secure
will pay well fer the trouble of feeding.
Care should be taken to keep reasonably
young stock, and a large proportion
should be ewes, so that in addition TO
their wool the increase may be secured.
With anything like ordinary care
either the wool or the increase should
be Of sufficient value TO pay for the
cost, leaving the other for profit.
In this way they can be made as prof
liable as any other stock upon the farm
so thst instead of selling the grain or
other products, they are fed out to stock,
not only increasing the profit but also
aiding. very materially, to increase the I
fertility Of the soil.
