Gibbon In his history says that Mo-

thought that, mounted on the horse
Borak, he assembled the seven heavens
and approached within two bow shots
of the throne and felt cold that pierre
ed him to the heart when his shoulder
was touched by the hand Of God. That
might do for Mohammed's heaven, but
not for Christian heaven. No cold
hand put upon your shoulder there, no
cold hand of repuise or doubt, but the
warm hand of welcome, the warm
hand of sanity communion, the warm
hand of God.
Youth Renewed.

~ the water anywhere needed. The
sketch shows the arrangement Of the
system.
About six or seven years ago. during
very dry spell, the water in the
reservoir became very low and the
old ram afforded us considerable an
noyance on account Of there being
only one stroke, which necessitated as
much supply water at one time as an
other, therefore we had to keep the
ram turned on until the water was
needed in some Of the buildings.
About that time at the county fair.
happened to see another hydraulic ram
which looked % simple, and having a
governor to regulate the strokes in
pumping, which means everything
when the reservoir is getting low. that
purchased one and placed it in posi-.
ton and have had no trouble since.
On one occasion in particular its USE
fulness was very prominent. A fire
originated in the bottle department
OF my dairy, between the inner and
outer sidings, which was impossible to
reach without the use of thrown
stream, but by breaking little of the
outer siding and inserting the nozzle
of the hose the fire was overcome in a
very short time, thus saving every
building on the place. which otherwise
would have surely burned.-T. W.
Stewart, in Farm and Home.

FARM WATER SUPPLY.


Al near as can remember, there
has been hydraulic ram on this farm
for 30 years. The first ram put in was
used to force water to q watering
trough in front of the buildings and
also through pipe leading to the
kitchen of the main house. For the
past 16 years, the time we have lived
here, it has been greatly changed and
we have furnished water to every
building on the place. Water is sup
piled on every floor, including bath
room, water closet, etc. The tank in
the attic holds 600 gallons. The pres.
sure of it makes sufficient force to car.

PLANT MORE TREES.
Sections where Timber II Scarce
SuMer More from Drought Than
Wooded Regions.

More even distribution of the for
est growth over farming sections il
needed, for ~ IL now is the forest
growth In mountains and other sec.
lions il unfit for agricultural pur-
poses. The sections best adapted to
farming are largely void of trees. In
time of drought the sections which
suffer most severely are those where
timber il most scarce. Southern In
diana, which has been cleared too
much. years ago when there was still
much timber standing. produced far
better crops than now. Rains were
then much better distributed through
the growing season and showers were
frequent and mild but now rain too
often falls in heavy. sudden down
pours, often doing damage to growing
crops. These severe rains are usual
~ followed by hard winds that soon
dry the moisture from the land in
the growing season, and in winter
the wind having uninterrupted sweep
drifts the snow in great banks along
fences and leaves wheat fields bare.
We cannot undo the harm done BY
too excessive clearing, but one can
improve matters by planting trees in
shelter belts on the south and west
sides of our farms. For perpetual

evergreens not to let the roots get
dry, as this means certain death to
the tree. Robert Killins, in Farm
