WISE WORDS.

Our obscurity Is Gods opportunity.
The restless are seldom rcsstless.
The bread of service feeds the soul.
Yokcfcllows make the best friends.
Pharsaism is known by its phrases.
To live Is more than TO make living
Gods power depends on no plebiscltc.
Honor is the first element in honesty.
A sore head is sign of shallow
one.
sctbacks are often the secret Of sue
cess.
To reject the bad is to receive the
good.
The supernatural is not prefer
natural.
Better an honest Lazarus than n sue
cessful Dives.
Only n small man is satisfied with n
superficial superiority.
Most people are caught by sin trying
to take the bait without the hook.
There may be wiser worlds where
souls pray to be delivered from un'
broken Joy.
There is great deal OF difference
between owning business and being
owned by one.
You cannot burn the fire of lust IN
your own heart without kindling and
consuming other hearts.
There would be greater trade II

advertise the good In others.-Ram''

HANDLING he HEIFER.

For a long time it was our rule not
TO allow the heifer COWS or yearlngs
to run with the cows. AS a conse-
quence when they arrived at the milk
ing age, we always experienced some
trouble in handling them, says n cor
respondent of the National Stockman.
At one time circumstances necessitat-
ed our keeping n two-year-Old helfer
in the herd Of cows. We stabbed and
fed her as we did the others. When
we went to milk we always strOked her
kindly and with pail in hand pretend
ed to milk her at the same time. Nor
we're the few moments spent thus vain.
When she became COW we did not
have the old trouble Of breaking the
heifer," as heretofore. We have no
kicking heifers or nervous cows in
our herd, which we attribute to this
kind treatment. as we follow out the
plan with always the same good re-
suit.
