1t is $50 great salvation because it
is an eternal salvation Man measures

uses measuring rod which Is not linn
tied to time, but extends on and on and
on through the endless years OF eternity.
Eternal salvation. A salvation that
knows no end. remember hearing of
a man once who was saved from death
by drowning half dozen times. and
then at last met his end in watery
grave. He was saved from death in the
water, but that salvation did not pre-
vent his finally losing his life by drown
ing. God does not save man and then
leave it possible 70: him to be lost.
Gods salvation is of the eternal brand.
This is the reason it transcends the
mere human. It becomes operative in
this life and continues in force through
out the endless ages to come. How
could God call it other than go great

The Draft Horse Business.

Some say the draft horse business
is going to be overdone again. want
to say there never has been time ia
the history of the draft horse when a
good one was not wanted at price
considerably above his reasonable
cost, even when the market was at its
worst, not to mention the. more profit
able period. In Europe. where the
improved breeds have been kept con-
tinuously for centuries, The draft horse
is considered the most profitable ami
NAL on the farm, and this with land
worth 20 times as much as ours, ard
feed much more expensive In study
ing the draft horse, we must not over
look hts twofold relation to agricul-
ture. first, his great usefulness in
actual labor performed in the pursuit
of agriculture; second, IS being him.

WHAT " ! j I FARMERS ] NEED E ] MOST
Sensible, Practical Education, to Be
Continued Through Life by
IN Constant Study.

-. & =
The farmers greatest need is educa
ton. He should have as good educa,
ton as our public schools can give a.
foundation for the special knowledge
of the different branches Of farming
which he pursues. The farmer needs
to read and study more than he does
It is not uncommon to hear farmers 50
discuss matters pertaining to their hus.
bandry that it is clearly evident that
they are uniformed about things which
they should understand in order to gel
the best returns for money and lab0l
expended. Fs4ss
In the United States there Is no ex-
cuse for farmers to be without consid-
cradle knowledge of farming in its diff
ferent branches. Our federal govern
ment does great amount of investiga-
ton, the result of which s.given gratis
to every one. The different states have
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations, where Investigations and ex-
periments are constantly carried on.
and in different ways do those insti-
buttons seek to interest the farmers in
their work that they may learn the
truths which science has revealed. The
farmer must be able to see which crops
will, as rule, be most beneficial for
him to raise. He must understand
what different crops require in order to
yield the most, and he should know
how to SO work his land that 1t grad
ually Will come to be In the best con-
dition, and he needs to understand how
to maintain it so. TIE farmer also
needs to know how to feed and care
for his animals; know the value OF the
different feeds he uses and their effects
on the different animals in the differ
ient stages of their lives, so as to get
the best returns for what he expends.
Knowing these things, 1t will not be
difficult to produce in abundance There
need not be such thing as an aban-
doned farm because It is exhausted :.
The farmer also needs to know how
to market his produce. Having &C.
quired the knowledge and worked dill
gently and produced in abundance, the
farmer still stands hopeless; he cannot
market his produce at any time, when
the markets happen to be the best the
roads are often impossible. One of the
greatest needs Of the farmer is. good
roads. The loss to the nation from
having bad roads is incompatible.
Good roads benefit every class Of peo-
pie. directly or indirectly. We are
wealthy enough to build good roads:
the farmer alone should not build
them .ty
With better knowledge of farming
and good roads we would have a far
better country than we have. Our. pe-
cuniary circumstances would be greatly
improved. There would be greater So
and more contentment among
the farmers, less congestion in the
cities and higher inteliects; this would
very materially help to guide the ma
ton safely through political campaigns.
Only the uniformed can be misled. Il.
Let us acquire knowledge and work
faithfully. With good roads, produc-
tive soil and abundant resources we
can prosper as. no other nation on
earth.-N. c. Jorgensen, in N. Y. TIL

experimental extensively in wheat cul-
ture, has come to the conclusion that a
great deal depends upon the time of
cutting. When green wheat begins to
swell the first thing that comes into it
is albumen, and the last packing is al
most pure starch II, therefore, it Is
possible to shorten the ripening period
and prevent the starch element from
entering the grain, the grain must OF
necessity be much stronger. Mr.. Hall
is inclined toatheso opinion that farmers
would do well to cut wheat while it is
yet in a green state, as by SO doing they
will get the grain richer in heterogeneous
elements and richer in gluten-a
stronger what in fact.

discovery the other day that he was
harboring lambs and foxes under the
same roof without either attempting
injury to the other. Nj. Kimbrell had
noticed fox about his place a good
deal lately, but as he had no gun and
had not missed any of his lambs, he
made 40 effort to kill it. One day he
noticed Reynard creep into the straw
shed. where he kept his lambs, and he
ran to SEE what the animal was about.
In nest In the straw OF which the
north wall was built he found the old
fox and three little ones comfortably
ensconced The lambs had been play

How to Handle Barb wire.


Wire fence is the fence of the present
day. and likely to be for some years to
come. A farmer often wishes to move
a string of barb wire fence to some other
place. To do SO is a job that tries the
patience and cuts the hands. Let me tell
you how to handle it and have no more
trouble. Take the spool on which the
wire was originally rolled, run good,
strong, smooth stick through it and
drive wedge in firmly at one end to keep
the spool from turning on stick; now fix
a crank firmly to one end Of your stick
and fasten one end Of wire to the spool.
Two men take hold OF the stick. the
right-hand man holding the stick with
his left hand, and turning the crank with
his right hand. Walk right along and
you will be surprised how easily and rap
idly you can take up wire. A little differ
emit form Of spool and a crank on each
end will take up woven wire the same
as barb.-Farm Journal.

blood-bought. 1t is the finished work
of Christ. But the salvation which the
Christian may continue to know is
that Of development and growth Of the

plant must keep on growing, It must
continue to drink in the sun and the

reach down and out and draw UP the
nourishment it needs, or else it will
wither and die. And the law of life
and growth is as binding upon the
Christian as it is upon the little plant

must drink in the sunshine of Gods
love, and the rain of His discipline.
He must send out the rootlets of de-
sire and purpose into the rich soil Of
Gods Word and Gods presence and
draw the nourishment which he needs.
if he would keep In health and vigor
the spiritual life which Christ has
given. And this Is the salvation
which the Christian is admonished
