Farmers from various sections OF The State
have been writing asking about the advlsa-
biIity OF feeding horses and m ules on cotton
seed meal and hulls and also asking Ior
cheaper ration than corn.
The following prices are given 10 letter
from Scranton, g. e.. Corn. $50 per ION oats,

The first dollar that q boy earns by
his own honest efforts Is likely to be
one Of his pleasest memories through

out communion with Christ, to get
bis strength, Joy, and peace, into our

Each human life Is a whole Orches

before we can begin to make sweet

brought into harmony. This is the
work Of spiritual culture. 1t Is achiev-
