before the broader and deeper doctrine. 1t re-
CARDS inspiration rather as working through
and by the human nature of the Biblical writers.
The editors Of this Bible are all devout believ-
ers in the Bible and its inspiration; but as
scholars they refuse to close their eyes to mis-
takes which they say have crept into it and
misunderstanding which have become part OF
the popular consciousness. The theory OF the
composite structure of the Hcxateuch 0he first
six books in the Bible) they regard as estab-
lished and proved by all evidences that appeal
to scholars. The original Hebrew gives unmis-
taxable proof OF having been written at differ
ent times, by different men. and edited and re-
edited. These and other conclusions were not
arrived at hastily by single generation of stu
dents in any one country. but follow from the
panstaknG Investigations Of men of all creeds
and natlonalities during the last century. The
first scholars to announce that they did not be-
eve that Moses wrote every word or the
Pentateuch were considered atheists, enemies of
the Church and of society. But to-day there are
Catholic priests, Anglican bishops. Lutheran
cergymcn and Jewish rabbics who substantially
accept the so-called higher criticism Of the
Bible.
What was TO be done? Should the Bible re
main in a chaotic condition out 81 mistaken
reverence for the letter Of the law? II scholars
were agreed upon a trucr shape for the Biblical
writings. was it not time for the people To have
this truer Bible, so that they could understand
it better? So these scholars. thrty-cight OF
them, agreed that the work should be done, and
they first prepared a revised and corrected text,
guided by their increased knowledge of the
Semitic languages and a careful comparison
with the most ancient versions in Greek, Syriac,
Ethiopic and Latin. The next step was To pre-
pare new translation-a great dcsidcratum.

WOMAN ON TUE FARM.

Will the new woman" desire to be q
farmer. and do the work on a farm
that it has been supposed that men
alone could do? asks The Ploughman.
Why not? Modern farming does not
depend upon strong muscles nor an
iron constitution. as it once did. We
doubt whether it is any harder to ride
u moving machine than 10 bend over
a sewing machine or wasltGD uIl day.
If she can run a sulky plow she can rs
easily operate a disk harrow, Il corn
planter or 4 riding c%Hltivator, She can
hire boys TO do the rough work as well
as the men can. She has Icing been
allowed the privilege Of doing the irk-
some, tedious work of milking, churn-
ing and caring for the butter, and SO,
with the aid Of modern appliances,
what is left that III cannot do on
the farm! There are thousands Of
women in cur conscSted cities who are
working vastly harder. and putting in
more hours in close, air-poisoned quar-
tiers than the hardest work OF Il farm
would entail. While We believe the
highest work Of woman is hoInenaking.
yet il it is her destiny to be compelled
to work for the living the world is said
to w her, we would rather see her
cooperate with nature than greedy,

STOLEN BROODS.

Most farmers pay very little atten-
ton t. stolen broods OF chickens which
are brought out from tome hiding place
late in the autumn. They are scarcely
considered worth raising, are neglected,
get wet aud muddy. are half starved,
and as q natural consequence, do not
amount to anything. They live a mis-
cradle little existence and perish. u.s.
ually, before Christmas. This is a
waste Of the good gifts of nature.
1t is possible to raise svch birds and
make them highly profitable by a little
care ami ~forethought. An old barrel.
fastened up against the side of q shed
or barn:and covered with paper on the
outside, may be used as Il home for
such chicks. The barrel should lie
raised from the floor, and ought to have
4 door or some cross sticks to keep the
hen in. The chicks could jump down
from the box, and in pleasant weather
could. run about for their. food. When
it storms they should be shut in. After
they are the size Of quail they lrSy
at their pleasure, wen though
the ground be frozen, unless there 10

Snowstorms and young chickens do not
affiliate. ar1 should never be brought
in contact. An abundance Of good food
and a perfectly dry place will keep
chickens growing ut any time OF the
year.

Those huge stones that lay in the field

ss,t4i a stone in a way to be rid Of 1t for

clude one-third Of its volume, and make
the hole big enough and deep enough
to take the entire stone In and sink It
below the reach Of the pillow. When the
hole ts finished, undermine the stone
till 1t gives way aud falls into the pit.
Be sure that you take no chances with
the rock. as 1t may slip before you ex.
pect 1t. Keep out Of the hole and use
q crow, or sharpen a long hardwood
pole to pike away the dirt till the stone
falls. Be careful and keep the rich
