Good Keeping butter.

not salable for four cents pound and
contains as much fat as another butter
which sells for Is cents a pound 1T Is

fixes the value. II is not the nourishinS

of butter The flavor Of Canadian butter
when fresh made is superior TO the havor
of Danish butter when fresh made-not

the Danes have beer getting the English
papers to write up their butter because
it Is fashionable to do so We have SUI
fered also. because the flavor was not
nearly so good in our butter when IL
reached the English market as ii was
when made. Danish butter gets TO the

Hints to Teachers.

Attention should be given to the time.
circumstances, and purpose of this epistlc.
the earliest of all Paui's letters that have
been preserved. One of it's principal
themes is the coming of the Lord. but
with this other subjects are touched up
on. In our lesson we note the following
divisions:
|. Concerning the Brethren. Verses 3.
TO- ''Brotherly Love- is. i'm the original.
The word philadelphia, word expressing
the relation which we hold toward all
the fellow-disciples Of the Lord. For all
men we should have a feeling of love. but
for them peculiar regard as members
Of the one body of Christ. :
III. Concerning Secular Life. Verses H.
L. We live in the body, and the body has
claims upon US. The Christian is not re-
cluse shut up in cell, hidden from the
world. He lives among men and in So
clety. Let him be an orderly. a peaceful
citizen attending to his own affairs. faith
full to his work, and by his character rec
ommendng his religion to the world.
III Concerning Those That Sleep.
Verses 10. II. Notice how tenderly and
hopefully tombs Of the pagan world were
covered with despairing. mournfu in-
scriptions: but Christ has abolished death,
and brought life and immortality to light
Those who sleep shall awake and arise.
and therefore we corrow not, though for
the time We miss our absent friends
". Concerning the Coming of the Lord
Verses IL. IL. That the Savior would re-
turn was the confident expectation of the
early Church: and evidently Paul looked
for the advent OF Christ I'm his own life
time. The details and precise manner OF
his coming are unimportant and these
sentences are not to be regarded az a
catalogue of the events to take place
with his appearing. But the fact Ia sure
and the Church i'm every age should wait
for. look for. the speedy return of it's

to belittle the doctrine as IL is on the
other to elaborate around 1t scheme Of

V. Concerning the Resurrection. Verses
1918 When Christ comes the two armies
of his followers shall be united around
him. the army of the saints who sleep
In the grave. and the army of those then
living upon the earth. Notice that no.
where Is stress laid upon the thought that
we shall meet each other. but every
where that we shall meet Christ. and bs
forever with him.
vi. Concerning the Times and Seasons.

lions the Church that we are to be al
ways ready for our Lords appearing.

clare just at what time and In what way

Must Have uuy or Die.

The Illinois agricultural sta tom has for
two Years been testing the Importance Of
coarse feed for cattle. Calves were al
lowed no grass, hay, or forage of any
kind from birth but were given all the
milk, Stop and ground grain, oil meal, etc,
that they would eat. Such calves ate
heartily and enormous quantities, almost
twice as mich as those that were given

blEhei of rich, concentrated ground feed

eager tor something bulky that it was
necessary to keep them away from their

months old. the Joints began 10 swell. and
they would occasionally walk with Il reel

The ships Bell.

Lieut.. John M. Ellicott. U. 8. r.,
writes an article for June st. Nicholas
on What is Told by the Bell" in
which he says:
Nothing in a ship becomes so close
ly identified with her throughout her
whole career as the ships bell OFF,
GERS and crew come and co. masts,
decks, engines and boilers become old,
and are replaced by new ones, but from
the same ships bell remains always
a part of her. marking her progress
all over the world, and finally going
down with her to a lonely grave at the
bottom of the sea, or surviving her as
a cherished souvenir of her existence
and achievements. On a man-of-war
the bell is usually inscribed with her
name and the date of her launching;
and as it is probable that it may some
day become a memento of glorious
history, the bell is often the subject of
special care in casting or selection.
Sometimes the hundreds of workmen
who have built the great ship contrib
ute each silver coin to be melted and
nodded into the bell which shall be the
token Of their love for the object of
their creation, and their interest in her
future career. Often the people OF a
city or state after which a man-of-war
is named may present to her a magnif-
cent bell appropriately ornamented and
inscribed with words of good will and
good wishes. Such bell Is usually
presented with ceremony after the ship
goes into commission.
Ships bells in general are made Of
bronze, like other bells. The addition
Of silver in their composition gives them
a peculiarly clear and musical tone.
They are placed in such position on
the upper deck that they may be heard
from one end of the ship to the other;
and are usually near the mainmast or
at the break of the forecastle. One
regularity exists in the ships bell,
which is necessary on account of her
motion at sea. The tongue is hung so
that it can swing in only one direction.
If it were not SO, the bell would be
continually ringing as the ship rolled
and pitched. The direction in which
the tongue can swing is another i'm
portant point. II it were athwartships
the bell would ring at every heavy roll
of the ship; and il it were fore and aft
the bell would ring at every deep pitch;
so the direction in which the tongue

Profit in Dairying.

In Jones county, Iowa, the farmers
have deposited i'm banks over $4,000 00O
This is attributed solely TO the COW. and
the creamerieS and dairies she supplies
with raw material.
In rearing cows for the dairy strive to
obtain a good milking strain. and one
that has been established through gen.
erations of ancestors.
In order 10 make dairying profitable II
must be run on truly business plans. The
best of COWS must he provided and they
should have the best care Stock that

incor TO the owner. Cows must be
well 4Jused and well fed and better
care of the milk before it goes TO
the creamery is absolutely essential.
Cleanliness in the barn. about the milk
rooms, with the pals and cans in which
the milk is handled, should receive very
close attention. Get the milk TO the
creameries in tirst-class shape. free from
the bad odors that are so often absorbed
by it, and the fault viii lie with the
creamery management if the finished
product is not of high grade.
In order that dairying may be made to
pay. the flow OF milk must be kept up all
the year round. This flow may be slim
ulated by iudicious feeding, breeding
and clean milking Succulent food. such
as good pastures and silage. tends to in
crease the flow of milk. therefore should
be used to fix the habit in young cows.
The young cow should be kept milking
long time before breeding a second
time. This practice tends not only to
fix the milking habit, but to enlarge and
develop the mllk-making glands of the
udder. Clean milking. that is, removing
from the udder all the milk at each milk
ing, tends strongly to stimulate the pro-
duCtion of more milk. while to leave milk
in the udder is sure way of drying up
a cow.

The dairy COW is an Individual animal

Probably when the Guernsey has had as

A heifer which has nc calf until three

Breed the heiter early. and cultivate the

The farmer who appreciates the value
of plump kernels of clean wheat for seed

worth OF pure breeding i'm the dairy, and
his cows are of the same high standard
as his golden fields of grain.

Has withstood Many sieges.
