Reverence.


Reverence is one OF the Indian 5
strongest traits. His language con
tains no oath, nor any word to express
even disrepect to the Great Spirit. II
he swears, it Is because white men have
taught him to do so. \ missionary
said that one need never TO hesitate to
preach to Indians In their own tongue
for fear that his mistakes may be ridi-
culed. Their reverence for God Will
not allow them to laugh at His mes
senger.

Pasturing the Teams.
Thr Republic.

Thr Repubic.
1t requires some management at
this season to keep the teams in good
condition. Farm work Of all kinds is
pressing, the teams must do their part
and this is often the hardest part
A II animals. at this season, crave some
thing fresh and green and supply is
very beneficial after long feeding on
dry grain and roughness.
But the teams need all the rest they
can get and for this reason it is not al
ways best to turn them in the pasture
at night. There are two serious OBJ
jections to this. One is that 1t de
prives them Of needed rest, and the
other is hat it is an unpleasant task
tramplng through the wet grass early
in the morning after them to say moth
ing of the time lost Yet this plan is
followed by many farmers. As soon as
the horses are done eating their grain
at night they are turned into the pas
lures and are put back into the sta
bles the next morning. In their de-
sire to satisfy the appetite for some
thing green the horses will tramp the
greater part of the night, and while
the grass does them good the loss of
rest does not.
One of the plans is to have good
but small pasture convenient to the
stable and then after they have eaten
their grain at night they can be turn
ed into this pastvre tor and hour or
two and then be put back into the
stables.
Another plan that is often followed
is to have rye or clover growing con
veniently near, cut good feed at night
for them and feed it in the stables
While some grass Is good thing
too much Of it is harmful on accoun,
of its weakening effects. But when tho
teams are not at work they can near y
always be turned into the pasture with
benefit.
1t paws to use all reasonable care
to keep the teams il good, thrifty
condition.. They must have siren 9Th
if they are to stand up we'll under the
work that is to be done at this time,
and, while grass is a good feed, plenty
Of gram with some hay is needed TO
supply material for bone and muscle
1t is possible for teams to do cOnsld-
cradle work on grass alone, but they
..annot be pushed as is often necessary
flthout liberal supply Of dry feed.

GODS NEARNESS.

1t is not high above the stars God
walks,
Removed far flom al my grief and
care
1t is not from an unknown height he
looks,
And listens to the pleading of my
prayer.
But with all His loving strength most
dear.
He walks with me these pathways
lone and dim,
His mighty, mighty love close bent to
hear
The faintest thought my soul breathes
out to Him.

mad scramble for money There is too
much sham in business Too many
they are even on the brink of financial
ruin. The inordinate desire for mon
ey causes many people to overreach.
They get in debt. Teey become the
piness flies away. The Nation, all the
States, and a large proportion of the
people of this country are in debt No
wonder there is so much restlessness.
The farmers who own their farms
and pay as they 60 are the most indie
pendent people On earth, and, as rule.
that class are not so restless If the
rising generation of farm boys could
see things as they really are, they
might be willing to start on small
scale and extend their borders as they
are able. The boy should not expect
to start in life as "well fixed" as his
father is, after working for a lifetime.
Farm life has more sunshine, balmy
breezes, good health, bird songs, lus-
cious fruits, pure water and air, whole
some food, than any other, and if the
farmer is out of debt and has a clear
conscience, he has less anxiety than
people of any other calling

Sincere and honest, faithful to the end.

Drinking Water.
RALEIGH, n. c..

DEAR SIR The evidence that ma
1arial diseases are introduced into the
system, in many if not most instances,
through the medium of the drinking
water. is to my mind, conclusive. The
wafer containing the germs OF plasmo-
dia is surface or superficial soil water
Those living in malarial districts who
confine themselves to water from cls-
terms or wells driven or bored beneath
the stratum of mall or in1pervious clay
in other words, beyond the water
which sOaks down from the surface
are to large extent free from attacks.
