POINTS TO

No class of grains will bear a
turing closer than rye.
Send the corn to market by way
OF the fat hog or steer.
The good farm horse is of medium
size, well muscled, active and of
good disposition.
It is not what is eaten, but what
is digested that furnishes the
strength and muscle.
Growing animals especially like a
variety and do better thus than to
be fed on one kind of grain.
Most farmers can raise young
colts and develop them into mature
land thoroughly broken horses.
II a hog is worth keeping at all
1t is worth keeping we'll; therefore
1t should be well fed and cared for.
The man who raises hogs for a
profit should raise good hogs, SO az
to have the largest profit possible.
Don't get the idea into your head
that anything is good enough for a
hog. The hog is a good friend, and
should be treated as such.-Prairie

NEWLY RICH ON PARADE.
People Not Accustomed to Wealth Try

is given a new toy every day. He is
glad to get the machine, but it is only
one of a thousand novelties, and he
thinks little of it.
"But, look at the man and woman
in that carriage. I've seen him a
few times of late. I don't know
what his name is, nor his business,
nor where he lives, but he hasn't
been used to money very long. See
what a front he is trying to put

WORDS OF THE BIBLE COUNTED
Spanish Prisoner Confined for Thirty
Three Years Performed the
Remarkable Task.

1t is well known that the number

LEGATION, entitled "Curiosities of the

prince of Granada. fearing usurpa-

posed would-be usurper, and by or
der of the Spanish crown he was
thrown into an old prison called the
place of skulls, situated in Madrid,
where he was confined for 80 years,
with no other companion than the
rats, mice and other vermin that
frequented his dismal cell, says the
Boston Herald.
During his confinement he counted
the letters, etc., contained in the BIZ
BILE, and scratched the several mum.
bers on the stone walls with a nail.
When his work was discovered he
was furnished with writing utensils
and ordered to make a copy of the
results of his long and tedious task,
and, on its being completed, he final
ly received his liberty.
The following is a correct copy OF
his great work:
The Bible contains 1866, 4S0 letters,
773, TAG words, 31,173 verses, 1,195
chapters and 66 books.
The word and occurs 1864 times,
the word Lord 1853 times, the word
Jehovah 6,S55 times, and the word
reverend but once, which is in the
ninth verse of the One Hundred and
Eleventh psalm.
The middle verse is the eight verse
of the One Hundred and Eighteenth
psalm. The twenty-frst verse of the
seventh chapter of Ezra contains all
the letters of the alphabet except
the letter j.
The finest chapter to read is the
twenty-sixth chapter of the Acts of
the Apostles. The most beautiful
chapter is the Twenty-Third psalm.
The nineteenth chapter of II. Kings
and the thirty-seventh chapter of
Isaiah are alike.
The four most inspiring promises
are to be found in the sixth chapter
Of St. John, thirty-seventh verse, and
fourteenth chapter, second verse:
also eleventh chapter of st. Matthew,
twenty-eighth verse, and the Thirty
Seventh psalm, fourth verse.
The longest verse is the ninth verse,
eighth chapter of Esthe- The short
est verse is the thirty-fifth verse, elev-
enth chapter of St. John.
There are ten chapters in the book
of Esther in which the words Lord and
God do not occur. The eighth, ff-
tenth, twenty-first and thirty-first
verses of the One Hundred and Seventh
psalm are alike. Each verse of the One
Hundred and Thirty-sixth psalm end
alike. The One Hundred and Seven
teenth plasm contains but two verses,
the One Hundred and Nineteenth psalm
contains 176 verses. There are no
words or names of more than six sylla-
bles.
1t has also been discovered by some
person unknown that in Joel, third
chapter, third verse, the word girl &C.
ours, and in the eighth chapter of Zach
ariah, fifth verse, the word girls is
mentioned for the only time in the
whole Book.
The eighth chapter of Esther, ninth
verse, contains SO is. The word snow

MODERN CORN BREEDING.

That great results may be attained
in plant breeding may be easily seer
by comparing some of our house

wild flowers from which they were

in the breeding of corn that are re-
cognized by the live stock breeder, of
which the two most important are

In selecting the ear of corn the cob
should be comparatively small, the
stem small and the ear should taper
as little as possible and still retain its
cylindrical form. That is. the smaller
