The acquisition of this land makes
possible for the first time the es-
tablishment of r systematic rota-
ton; it,enables the station to en-
large its experimental work with
cattle aud hogs and with forage
crops and to undertake,oa a more
extensive scale the improvement
of cereals.
A feeding experiment with beef
cattle was recently begun which is
a duplicate of that conducted last
year. lG grade Herefords and IG
grade Shorthorns are being used.
The Herefords will be fed to 90 on
the marketnextspring; the Short
horns to go on the grass in the sum-
mer. The 30 animals are divided
into eight groups of four each
which are given different kinds
and amounts Of food. The expert
ment last year indicated that sor-
ghum is especially valuable for
stock cattle, the gains of the groups
fed sorghum being next to those Of
the silage groups.
Grazing experiments with hogs
were conducted through the sum-
mer and fall, and at present feed
ing experiments in the pen are be-
lug carried on. Corn, barley, sofa
beans and combination of corn
and soja bean meal are being fed
against each other While it is
too early to draw conclusions, it
may be said that the SOFA bean
gives promiseof being particularly
useful for pork production.

THE SPREAD oE CHRISTIANITY.

A christian friend said to us a
short time ago that he felt greatly
disheartened because there was 50
much sin and corruption among
the people, and he was afraid the
world was not being converted to
christianity.
We reminded him that "God
moves in a mysterious way his
wonders to perform" and that fast
time had never been a character
istic Of his work.
But still statistics show that in
four centuries the power of the
Roman Catholic Church has more
that trebled; that of the Greek
Church has increased six times;
that of the Protestant Church has
sprung from nothing to control
of600,000,000, or more than a third
Of the worlds population, and the
spread of christianity in heather
lands is now tenfold more rapid
than ever before.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
OF food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsionlreallyfee
and gives the chilli growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 70 find
it and set the matter right.
