Hob-White q Valuable Bird.

The ornithologists Of the department
of agriculture have been making an In
| yestigation OF the economy value OF the
b~ob-white. as a result of which II is
announced that that bird is "prohaJly
the most useful abundant species on
the farms" Field-observations. eXpe-
riments and examinations show that it
consumes large quantities of weed
seeds. and destroys many of the worst
insect pests with which farmers con-
tend. and yet it does not injure grain.
fruit or any other crop. 1t is Toured
that FROM September l to April 20 an
Italy in Virginit alone the total CON
sumption OF weed-seed by Dob whites
amounts TO five hundred and seventy
tire" tons. Some of tie pests Which
il habilrally destroys, the report says,
are tho Mexican cottou-b.l wt"Vll,
which damages the cotton crop 70 the
extent of more than fifteen million dol
lars o year: the potato-beetle, which
cuts off ten million dollars from the
value Of the potato crop; the cotton
worms. which nave been known TO
cause thirty million dollars loss In a
year: the c%hinch-bug and the Rocky
Mountain locust, scourges which leave
desolaticn in their path, and have
caused loss aggregating one hundred
million dollars in sOme years. The re-

Feeding Corn-Cob deal.
have heard it stated by some ex-
perienced farmers that the cobs
ground in the feed will hurt
THE stomachs of the horses, al
though they viii do no harm to rum
mating animals. Other experienced
farmers say that the eobs will not
harm any stomach, but give no nour-
ishment and call it useless trouble for
the stomach. 4 man near here VINO

COPS for his COWS, and claims he gets
from every half bushel Of boiled cobs
four quarts of milk. He is quite sat
isied,i and says 1t pays 10 feed corn
cobs if they are boiled before feeding.
There are, however. authorities upon
this subject who state that the only
advantage to arise from feeding cob
meal it attributable to the stimulus Of
the distention of the animals stomach;
the nutriment derived from cobs being
very dearly nought, and that beyond
the stimulus which cobs afford in dis
tending the stomach, there is nothing
gained by feeding it.-Cor. Epitomlst.

His glory to be see upon us! But, oh,
how often 1t is far otherwise! No glory
Of the Son shines through us. 1t is world

sion in our lives and shine forth to in
fiuence others away from Christ and
God. Lights in the world, and yet giving
out a false light. Set by God as those
who should reflect the Christ and failing
absolutely so to do, Think you there Ia
no need of the prophets plea? Think you
that to every heart into which the Light
has shined there should not come the
cry: Arise! Shine!" Yes. arise! You
need to get upon a higher plane. You
must rise u OF your life Of the flesh and
live in the Spirit. You must cruelty tho
affections and lusts of the old man, and
rise and put on the graces of character OF
the new man. 1t is a call to leave the
valley of the worlds life and to get UP
upon the mountain top, where you may
be seen as a light In the world guiding
men to the true Light which Is shining
through you. No man EVER thinks of
putting a beacon light on the low levels.
1t rises above every surrounding object.
1t stands away above the projecting
rocks of the coast, and the leaping bill
lows can only dash and foam In their
mad effort to mount the lofty pile Of
stone, while the faithful light shines out
unmoved far above. And so it should be
with the Christian. Arise! is the cry.
Garry the walls of the Christian graces

given you may shine out upon the dark
ness of the world. Below the storm and
conflict of life may rage. the darkness
may be appalling. and the rocks watch

light far above will shine out and guide
many a soul to the safe haven of Christ's
redeelning love. Think you that it does
not matter whether or no your light Is
shining? The command to all is to

Isaiah sees before his vision the revived
and re-established nation of Israel. The
Christ. the One Whom the nation re-
jacted when He first came to earth. has
returned and has been received by the
nation as its Messiah and King. And
the cry of the prophet comes to stir the
people to universal missionary activity
as the glory Of her King Is reflected upon
her and she goes forth to shine for Him.
AS one reads through the chapter the
glory, power and influence of the ma
ton is unfolded. All nations are to
come under the influence and sway OF
tire restored nation of Israel, and all are
10 come to know the Lord. This is the
great and ultimate fulfillment of this
prophecy. There is. however, a nearer
MESSAGE for the heart hat knows and
loves the Lord. Israel is no ready yet
to receive her King. She is not prepared
to cry: blessed is He Who cometh
In the name Of the Lord" But there are
Individual hearts all over this land and
throughout the world who have beheld
the Light which has come into the
world: who have received that Light
as the beacon ray which could light
them back to God, and eternity with
Him. To such the cry of the prophet
comes as a present appeal, a present
blessed story Of the Christ Who has
come into the world to saw sinners. a
present glorious privilege Of serving

lows the sun in its course 1t is con-

The Light that has come falls upon 1t,
and yet it feels no new impulses, it un-
Aergoes no change. it remains the same,

God does not want us to be like the

hear the prophets words without being
conscious of their wondrous message.
but it is not the fault of the mighty
aud glorious truth set forth, but the
result of the cold. unresponsive heart
which hears, yet is not conscious Of the
marvellous music Divine; which sees,
yet does not appreciate the exquisite
coisring which God has placed here. The
story is told of the celebrated artist
Turner that one day as he was exhibiting
one of his masterpieces to a lady she
viewed 1t critically and then remarked,
unappreciatively: "Is not this coloring
little unnatural and %overdone7 never
saw such sky as that" "Ah, Madam"
replied the artist, but don't you wish
that you could?" She did not have the
artistic eye that could catch the ex-
Quisite colorings that the artist was able
to see and put On canvas. But the tints
end colors were there just the same.
And the heart as it hears the message
OF our text may fail to feel the thrill of
Divine rapture. The lady critic Of Tur-
ner's masterpiece could never know the
artistic vision that would give her full
appreciation Of the beauties of the pic
