A Mighty Division.

n Mighty Division.
After the resurrection day and all
heaven is made up, resurrected bodies
Joined to ransomed souls, and the
entes which were so long open are shut
zhere may be some day when all the
redeemed may pass in review be-
fore the great white throne. If so, l
think the hosts passing before the
King will move in different divisions.
With the first division will pass the
mighty ones of earth who were as
good and useful as they were great.
In this division will pass before the
throne all the Martin Luthers, the
John KnOXes, the Wesleys, the Richard
Cecils, the Millions, the ChrysOstoms,
the HerSchells, the LenOXes, the
George PeabOdys, the Abbott Law
rences and all the consecrated Chris
tan men and women who were great
in literature, in law, in medicine, in
philosophy, in commerce. Their genius
never spoiled them. They were as
humble as they were gifted or Opulent
They were great on earth, and now
they are great in heaven. Their sur
passing and magnificent talents were
all used for the worlds betterment.
AS they pass in review before the King
on the great white throne to higher
and higher rewards it makes me think
of the parable of the talents, 'To an
other ten" 1 stand and watch the
other divisions as they go by, division
after division, until the largest of all
the divisions comes in sight. 1t is
hundred to one, thousand to one, ten
thousand to one, larger than the other
divisions. It is made up of men who
never did anything but support their
families and give whatever of their
limited means they could spare for the
relief of poverty and sickness and the
salvation of the world, mothers who
took good care of children by example
and precept starting them on the road
to heaven, millions of Sabbath school
teachers who sacrificed an afternoons
siesta for the listening class of young
immortals, women who declined the
making of homes for themselves that
they might take care of father and
mother in the weaknesses of old age,
ministers of the gospel who on mig
gardly stipend preached in the back
woods meeting houses, souls who for
long years did nothing but suffer, yet
suffered with so much cheerful pa
thence that it became a helpful lesson
to all who heard of it; those who serv-
ed God faithfully all their lives and
whose name never but once appeared
in print and that time in the three
lines of the death column which some
survivor paid for, sailors who persisted
in the storm while trying to get the
life line out to the drowning, perse-
cuted and tried souls who endured
without complaint malignity and
abuse, those who had only ordinary
equipment for body and ordinary en-
dowment of intellect, yet devoted all
they had to holy purposes and spiritual
achievement. AS see this, the largest
of all the divisions, from all lands
and from all ages, pass in review be-

GRAIN FOR TIRE COWS.
A Profitable Feeding system Which
Is Gaining in Favor Among Pro-
EreSSive Dairynen

The time will soon come when
many a dairyman viii be asking him
self whether it will pay to feed grain
to his COWS while they are in the pas
ture. Some will not be worried
about the question at all, having al
ready decided that it is folly to give
cows grain when they have grass,
and being very sure that grand
father never thought of such a thing.
In fact, they are little doubtful
whether it pays to feed grain in the
give milk more than seven months in
the year, anyway During these sew
en- months they are mostly on grass
till they begin ID dry up, and after
that, of course, e will not pay to feed
out good grain. These are the men
who say farming does not pay, and
that there is no profit in keeping
cows, which is very likely to be true,
as these cows seldom yield more
than 1900 pounds a year. There is
another class who will not be a mo-
ment III doubt about it. They will
feed grain both summer and winter,
excepting during about a month
when the cows go dry before calving,
and possibly will give a little bran
each day then. During the eleven
months that they are in milk they
expect each COW to produce at least
5000 pounds of milk, which will be
rich in butter fat, for fat cow
gives fat milk more surely than she
has fat calves. They will get more
income from one COW than. the other
class DC from three, excepting pos
Silly the manure from one well-fed
COW is worth about as much as that
from three that are poorly fed. 1t
viii be less work to handle it, even
as it is less work to take care of one
cow than three. Those who are in
doubt about grain feeding have only
to decide which class they prefer to
belong to. For ourselves we have no
doubt. We knew that when we fed
grain to them ever day in the year,
if we did not get more milk from
each COW in June than those who
trusted to pasture alone we got more
in the fall, and our cows were in
milk three or four months longer
and smooth, and when we wanted to
fatten one thc had grown old we
could do it with but little increase
in the grain feed, as she began to dry
of. and the beef was better tnan
that of a cow that had been kept in
poorer condition, having the fat bet
ter. mixed with the lean meat.-Amer-
lean Cultivator.

OYSTER SHE'LL ROADS.
They Are Quite Popular in New Jer
sey, Although Their Whiteness
DazzIes the Eyes.

Driving, cycling and automobilins
tourists who return from their outings
on the South Jersey pixies this summer
are unusually enthusiastic in theiI
praises of these she'll roads, writes the
Philadelphia Press.
The process of constructing these
roads is of special interest because OF
its simplicity. There is 10 expense OF
digging ont the roadbed and filling il
first with large stones and then with
smoother top dressing as in the con.
struction of a macadamiZed road. The
shells are simply unloaded from the
boats (Which bring them in great
quantities from nearby oyster fields
to Buena Vista wharf,, and are then
carted out along the roads until hol-
low is found, or any spot that needs
repairing, and are then unceremon-
iously dumped and left without any
process of pounding or smoothing. I'M
til broken up and leveled off by the
passing carriages and farm wagons.
In constructing a shell road from
the beginning. load after load of the
oyster shells are dumped in an irreg-
ular bank all along the center of the
roadway; then with a road scraper
bank OF earth IS thrown up along the
edge to keep the shells from scatter
ing. This leaves narrow, smooth
space over which the scraper has
passed along the edge of the bank of
shells; and as this is used for driving
as long as the weather is dry it would
seem that the bank of sharp shells
would never be driven into smooth,
white firmness. But wait until there
is heavy storm, and the smooth road
at the side becomes a mass of heavy
mud and sand, then the rough shell
bank is gladly mounted. and although
ii is decidedly rough at first. the heavy
country driving and carting of farm
ing produce soon brushes the shells
and forces them into the rain soaked
soil beneath. A second or third bank
ing Of the shells Scattering them fur
Their over the sides of the roadbed each
time), with this process repeated,
forms a roadbed that is hard and firm
to the depth of foot or more and
beautifully smooth and white.
When these shell roads extend along
great stretches of pines, with even
rows of cedar and fir trees lining the
roadway Gas they Go throughout many
parts of New Jersey. one is reminded
of the palmline drives so alluringly
pictured in views of "our new posses
sions."

Care of Dairy Utensils.

The ordinary cleansing that is given
to pals, cans, strainers and other
dairy utensils takes out only portion
of bacteria. Just to the extent that
carelessness prevails in this part of
the dairy work, just 20 that extent
will these utensils contain a larger
number of organisms. The kind of
utensils has considerable to do with
the ease with which they are cleaned.
Wooden pals are to be avoided Tin
ware is now so generally used that but
little need be said az to the other kinds
Of vessels, but much of the tinware
now on the market is so imperfectly
constructed as to shelter germ life.
The sharp reentering angles to be
noted in pals, and the open seams in
the sides, are harbors of refuge for
the bacillus in its fight for existence.

WAR AGAINST INSECTS.
DnIers 1t Re Waged Continuously
There Is Danger That the
Pests Will Ruin Us.

DR.. L. o. Howard, entomologist of
the department of agriculture, has
just made public some startling
statements of the property losses
caused by insects. He believes they
aggregate over $300,000,0O0 a year.
Other agricultural experts have made
higher estimates, and in years of I'M
usual insect activity the total loss
has been doubtless much greater.
The Rocky mountain locust, or west
ern grasshopper, for example. in
1874 ate up 100000 eco worth of the
growing crops of Kansas, Missouri,
Iowa and Nebraska. The chinch-bug
alone, according to Prof. Webster,
has eaten $33O,O00,OO0 worth of corn
and wheat in the western states since
1s50-an average appetite of $1,000
600 a year.
AS for the mosquito, apart from
the losses believed TO be due to it's
"pernicious activity in the spread OF
yellow fever and malaria, it is an
immense depreciator of real-estate
values. A New Jersey newspaper re-
Gently estimated that it's eXtermina-
ton in that one state alone would
add to its real-estate valuation not
less than $1OO,O00,0o0.
1t certainly would pay to wage a
continuous war Of determination
against all these insects.-N. Y.

WEATHER FORECASTS.
Farmers VIII Hereafter Receive
Them Wherever Free Delivery
Has Been Established.

Prof. Moore's dream of carrying his
daily weather forecasts to the farmers
of the country in the travelling post
offices of the rura! free delivery sys-
TEN is about to be realized. Very soon
after the free delivery system was put
in operation Prof. Moore saw that it
could be utilized to furnish farmers
with the same information about the
weather that the residents of cities
enjoy through reading their morning
newspapers. He took up his idea with
Postmaster General Smith and the
postmaster general discussed it with
superintendent Machen, of the free
delivery service. After weeks of in
vestigation and preparation it has
been decided to install the service,
The rural carriers will distribute reg

along the country roads what the fore
cast is by observing the flags, but they
will also have the simple and more sat

Prevention of Glover HIoat

Glover bloat can always be prevented
by keeping the cattle off the clover
while it is wet with rain or dew, saws
Prairie Farmer. The usual cause of
death when an animal is bloated is
congestion of the lungs from pressure
of the stomach against them. The
flesh of such animal should be darker
in color from the stoppage of blood
in the small vessels than the flesh
of an animal butchered, but | do not
believe it would poison anyone 10 eat
the flesh of such animals. The best
remedy for clover bloat is to make an
opening in the upper part of the left
flank with poke tBnife and thrust
the fingers into the opening. Then
the gas will escape at the sides of the
finger. Or use some hollow tube 20
put into the opening.

Some Corn Crnu Eirures

The official crop report on corn is
variously interpreted. The statisti-
clan of the Chicago Daily Trade Bulle-
tin deduces an estimate of 1921 600. 900
bushels; the statis;:cian of the New
York produce exchange, 1898, 600, 900
bushels, and the Cincinnati Price Cur
rent, 1885, 000,0O0 bushels. Other esti-
mates range as low as LOO, 900, 900
bushels. Take your choice; but it may
be well to remember a pretty good
supply of cid corn, decreased ex-
portation and less feeding, when about
to sacrifice stock to save corn for the
