Wednesday a. m.-The exer-

scripture lesson was the latter
part of the 18th chapter Of Matt.
The keynote GO Do". When
God wanted to rescue Israels
millions from a degrading, debas-
ing bondage, He chose the man
Moses to do the work. When
He wanted the town of Sychar to
hear of the Messiah He chose a
woman to tell the story and she
did her work we'll. When lie
wanted to get glory to His name
in heather Assyria he used the
ready wit and the lips of little
captive girl to tell the story of
the power of Israel's God to heal
her master of the incurable dis.
ease, leprosy.
When God looked into Israel's
future and saw the need of man
of strong religious principles to
be the future Judge of Israel He
called a boy who answered the
call and so lived that he became a
man after Gods own heart and
Israel's best Judge No one is
exempt from duty, no matter
what our limitations may be. no
matter what our hinderance and
discouragements may be, God
says, GO Do"
Mrs. Burger then said that we
need to meet with discourage
ment-unbroken prosperity
makes lis forget God. Constant
success does the same. If we
never failed, we would be apt to
center our thoughts upon our
selves and forget our dependence
upon the Divine Arm.

A Mover Team.

The owner of large ostrich farm
In southern California has trained a
pair of these huge birds to drive as
he would drive horses, hitching them
to a light buggy or trotting cart,
which has in its design third wheel.
This is to prevent the vehicle from
turning over. 1t is by no means an
easy task to drive such a wierd team,
as you can not pull up your horses"
by reins. II you did 1t would probably
result in serious injury to the valu.
able birds. The only way to guide
the conveyance is to hit the offside
bird on the opposite side to that
which you want him to go. Another
objection to this kind OF horse" is
that II he should catch sight of bi,
of banana peel, or something equally
attractive, he does not hesitate tc
make dive sideways for it. AZ os
triches go like the wind. and car
make a sudden dead stop, the jerl
the rider receives is not pleasant
ont, IL piece of orange peel shoult
happen accidentally to meet the ey,
of his strange horses"

improved Dairy Cows,

Most of the dairy cows in the coun.
try are without pedigree, that is. they
are grades. The day of the "just
COW" has passed. The distinct breeds
have been used so widely ove1 tho
country that their blood is to be found
in almost every community. 1t has
been said Of the beef grades that q
good feeder is the one that shows
most of some distinct beef breed In
him. or the dairy cows it may be
stated as a general truth that the best
dairy grade is that one showing a
large proportion of blood of some
breed noted for milk production. This
truth is not put at naught by the fact
that many of these cows without pedi-
gree show Shorthorn blood. There is
the milking Shorthorn whose blood is
quite generally diffused over the coun-
try. The great trouble with Il is that
no effort has been made to keep it
distinct from that of the beef Short
horns. Dairymen should take the hint
from this fact and get as high grades
as possible. If they buy a bull to
place in their herd it should be pure
bred bull and not grade.

Mill<inq Machines.

or the various makes of milking
machines that are being sold on the
market the Thistle seems to stand at
the head, though Il has few friends
in the United States. We near from
1t however from time to time in Eng
land, Germany and Australia. In
those countries IL is being tested quite
extensively. with varying results so
far as making itself friends and ene-
mics. In recent tests in Germany it
has been used continually for year
or two but the cows where 1t is used
are not kept for milking purposes be-
yond a year and half Then they
are sold to the butchers and new cows
purchased. 1t has been asserted that
the milking machines dry up the COWS
and reduce the length of the milking
period. With cows that are only to be
milked to the end of one milking pc
riod 1t is impossible to ascertain the
truth Of this. A few cows purchased
would not allow themselves to be
milked by the machine. Some OF the
hard-milking cows had to be stripped
by hand after the machine had done
what 1t could, but the easy-milking
cows were MIXED clean by 1t. 1t
seems to be evident that IL we are
to have milking machines we will
have to develop a special class of
COWS with teats Of a certain conforma.
tion and with milk ducts that easily
and quickly give down the milk.

A Chemical Detective,

Truly the way of the transgressoi
is hard and his ingenuity is kept busy

methods of detecting him. Tie latest
device is extremely subtitle and 1t will
be clever thief who can see his way

tific mind has prepared for him.
II was invented by a chemist OF
Budapest. and is a chemical powder
of a yellow color. which has the
curious property OF dyeing the skin
of the person touching 1t deep blue
The color is not removable by any
known means, and washing 1t only
makes the color deeper. However
after about fortnight 1t begins to
wear off, and at the end Of about
three months all traces Of the colora
tion will vanish.

The sword bears the date 1929, dur.
ing the time when Christian. king OF
Denmark, was carrying on his thirty
years war with Sweden. II bears a
picture Of the warrior monarch. On
one side is an inscription in German
as follows: II am a good blade II you
use me we'll" Another inscription on
the reverse side says: HE who hath
no love for the beautiful hath no heart
in his body."-Kansas City Times.

Colts and Nutrition.

Without doubt the size and vigor OF
colts depend largely on the nutrition
OF the mare before the birts of
the colt. A well-nurtured mare will
bring forth vigorous colt. II the colt
have a perfect ration he will develop
into a strong horse. Bad nutrition is
the cause OF physical and mental in
feriority in the human family and the
same is true of the equine race The
mentality as well as the physical force
OF the horse is governed by the food
question. II is certainly true that
some OF the animals that are depend
ent on man are more poorly nurtured
than they would be II turned out to
hunt grass for themselves. Who has
not seen brood mares worked so long
on poor food that they were merely
skin and bones," to use a common
expression. Yet such animals in such
condition were permitted to bring
forth colts, The prenatal influences
of such animals are against them.
They will be backward in physical de.
velopment and will be to consider
able extent more stupid than other
colts that have been born under better
conditions.
The mare must be well nourished
II good colt is to be secured from
her. The owner will need to study
the laws of nutrition little If he is
to get the best results. Too many of
our brood mares are given only corn
and timothy hay, which is a very bad
ration for an animal expected to in.
crease the horse population of the
world. Where timothy hay is fed
oats should be substituted for corn
That is. the protein element in the
food should be supplied. When tim
othy hay and corn are fed the protein
| is painfully deficient.

The Magnificent State Capitol Building at Salem, Oregon.
PRAISE FROM THE EX-GOVERNOR or OREGON.

DERUNA is known from the Atlantic
i TO the Pacific. Letters of conprat-
ulation and commendation testify
ing to the merits of Peruna as n catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
of the Union.
DIR. Hartman is receiving hundreds
of such letters daily. All classes write
these letters, from the highest to the
lowest.
The outdoor laborer. the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise and
testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning OF
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds
is to cheat catarrh of its victims
Peruns NOT only cures csfarrh, bul
prevents n. Every household sh0uic
be supplied with this great remedy fol
coughs, colds and so forth.
The Ex-Governor of Oregon is ar
ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps Il
continually in the house.

Cow With First Calf.

The COW with her first calf is not
generally a large mixer. and often
she does not give enough milk and
butter fat to pay for her keeping.
This lie no proof that she will not be
a good producer of butter and milk
in the future. Doubtless many a
good COW has been lost by reason Of
the owner passing judgment on her
when she was heifer. Some of the
most renowned mixers in the world
we're small mixers with their first
calves. The same COW at eight years
u age may be worth double what she
was at three. and may give twice as
.huch milk and butter-fat on the same
amount of food she consumed when
a heifer.

The Goat and Disease.

One thing in favor OF the goat is
that II is little subject to disease.
Whether this is true OF all of our
common diseases we do not know.
Doubtless the goat is subject to some
disease. At least 1t is asserted that
the goat does not have tuberculosis.
II this is so it is a strong factor in
its favor. Its milk should, In that
case. be used more and more. and
new and better breeds of milk goats
should be developed. We are sup
posed to have about two million goats
in this country. A physician says
that we should have twenty millions
just to supply milk for tho babies Of
the country.

Cattle Breeding.

Cattle breeding is not the easy
science that 1t seems to be. 1t is
fraught with problems that the strong
est minds have studied and have not
entirely settled. Among them are the
great questions of in-breeding and
atavism In-breeding Is one of the
obstacles we/ place in the way of
atavism. that is. the tendency of ami.
mails to revert to the primeval type.
This matter Of in-breeding is one that
must be handled In the most careful
manner. though 1t is not as necessary
now as 1t was in the early days of
the breeds. Then 1t was used as a
means OF securing continuance of type
and the quality known as prepo-
tency.
IL Is an encouraging thing that our
agricultural colleges are making the
exhaustive study they are of the sci.
ence OF breeding. 1t Is more encour-
aging to know that the experiment
stations are backing up the agricul.
tural colleges by carrying on expert
ments to set at rest some of the great
controversies of the past. The world
has benefited greatly through the work
OF the men that founded the leading
cattle breeds. That benefit is to be
increased by the work of the stations
In hiking the lessons that are to be
taught. The whole tendency is to stop
the methods of bad breeding that have
done so much to deteriorate the stock
OF the country. A minister recently
said that many men know what is
right, but that few men do what is
right. We may say the same of cattle
breeding. More men know how to
breed right than do breed right.

The Thoroughbred palryman.

II takes the thoroughbred dairyman
to produce a good herd of dairy cows.
This is because there is no rule that
may be laid down by which the work
of dairy herd producing may be uner-
ringly accomplished. The work is not
one that may be cut out by machinery
after some particular pattern, but. to
use common phrase. we must "cut
and fit." The whole thing comes
back to the quality of the man that
does the cutting and fitting"
We have had very small number
Of thoroughbred dairymen in the past,
and that is why we have SO few real.
ly good dairy herds. Fortunately the
state dairy schools and the progress
sive dairymen in all the states are
now laboring to produce a large num-
Der OF thoroughbred dairymen and we
lave reason to hope that in the fu-
ture the tribe will not be so small as
it has been in the past.
The thoroughbred dairyman is al
ways trying to educate himself in
dairy knowledge. He finds this a hard
task with the present sources of in
formation; for the information itself
Is but just being accumulated. Much
he learned yesterday he is compelled
to let go of to-day, and some part Of
what he learns to-day will have to be
discarded tomorrow. But the thor.
oughbred is not discouraged by this
state of things. He is not only not
sht'shei with the amount of informa-
G3r that he can get from others but
he sets to work to do some expert
rnenting on his own behalf. He finds
enough to keep him busy in trying to
solve the problems that are yet un.
solved or that have been solved in a
very imperfect manner. This kind OF
dairyman is making his impress on
the country because he is worker
and knows how to intelligently direct
| his operations, whether they relate to
the work Of his dairy or to the expert
ments he is conducting.
The thoroughbred dairyman learned
| long ago to control his temper and to
be gentle with his dairy animals. He
also insists on the other men having
the care of the cows being gentle. He
has learned perhaps by instinct that
rough manner or boisterous voice
does not increase the milk flow OF
the production of cream. Gentleness
is one of the things that marks him
as distinct from most of his fellows
