nnr Greatest Need.

The need of the churches is a su-
preme moral motive. In some way this
nation must be lifted above the sway
of prejudice and selfshness and COM
PEELED to study all conditions as they
appear to him who looks at them from
above. Only the realization of God is
great enough for this task. Our great
est need is such a realization of God
as present and active in all the affairs
of humanity as shall make the mem
bers of our churches appreciate that
escape from Him is impossible, and
that the moral order is universal, in
exorable and Interchangeable. Difficult
les adjusted in the easiest way usually
have to be adjusted again, but where
they are settled Alright they are settled
forever.-AmOry H. Bradford. in the
Christian Work and Evangelist.

1t is when our faith in God the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost is quietly
expressed in daily action that it can
and does bear fruit in and tell upon the
faith and life of other men. The man
who should definitely regulate his re
ligious life and devotion with the
thought mainly before him of how he
will thus by example be influencing
other people is, 1 think, approaching
the whole question from a wrong side,
and is in grave danger of doing positive
harm first to himself and then to 9th.
ers. But it remains true that in this
as in other matters, mo man liveth to
himself" and that the attitude he Wis
IDLY and habitually takes in religious
matters must, whether he wishes it OF
not, tell. for good or i'll, upon those
about him. How infinitely that en-.
hances the Importance of what every
one of us believes and does!-Arch.

HONEST RELUCTANCE.

My dear, when | met you q summer ago,
l found You so dainty, SO pretty and
sweet,
That long l debated on whether or no
To lay down my hanu and my heart at
your feet;
But l had got used to a bachelor life,
And you were as lively as lively could be,
So l didn't thought you might prove as
a wife,
A trife too jumpy for me.
And now that I've watched you and seen
what you are,
| know that your heart is as true as your
eyes,
Your spirit as lofty and true as a star,
And gladly, oh, gladly I'd try for the
prize;
But my youth has left me alone in a
groove,
And yours is SO fresh and deliciously
new,
That l dare mott fear that, for life, l
should prive
A trife too stodgy for you.

Thwarted Plans.

unhindered in ones life by God. 1t is
no gift of freedom promised, but a
curse bestowed when it is said Of

final word of doom when the Lord
says. 81 let them go after the Stubborn
ness of their heart, that they might
walk in their own counsels." When
the prayer was offered. Suffer US to
go into the herd of swine" we may be
sure the request was granted solely
because offered by demons.
Ours be the joy that our wishes are
opposed. 1t is proof we are sons of
God. Let us rejoice we are not visited
with the contempt of divine indiffer-
ence. Let US write it on u hearts

Profit From Fall Pigs.

Last fall I had about seventy-ive
pigs come the last of September and
the first Of October. l let these pigs
follow the sows for about eight weeks
and while they were with the sows 1
used slop freely, also fed corn. When
l took them from the sows l used oats
and shorts and a little corn made into
a warm slop. They had a good, warm
place and O. good run on about four
acres of rye. 1 took the very best care
of them l could, but they did not seem
to grow. They were hearty, ate we'll
and were always hungry. I changed
their bedding about twice a week so
as to keep them clean and dry, and
did everything 1 could, but must say I
made a failure on that lot of small
pigs. l suppose if a man had a few
and used milk he could make them
pay a little better. But I End that the
cost of fall pigs is too great to make
me any money and I think the readers
of this article will agree with me.
On the other hand, 1 have had fine
luck with spring pigs. I had twenty
sows farrow about 200 pigs, and at the
last count 1 had IT'S head of good,
thrifty shotes, about 100 of them weigh
ing about 100 pounds, the balance
around 40 pounds. l think if a man
tries to raise a great many hogs he
better have them come in the spring.
He will have enough fall pigs out Of
his spring filters to keep him busy
through the winter, and in the spring
they Will go out and make a good
hog in O little while.
1 usually breed thirty sows for spring
farrow, commencing to pig about April
20 to May 20. I aim to nave all my
sows come in as near together as posi-

Marriage and Happiness.

We do not wish to be discouraging.

believe society will ever rest on any

A Summer Hog PEN.

A&O
Where swine are to be kept in a
somewhat small enclosure and fed in
the house it is not always easy to keep
the floor of the house clean. The plan
here suggested will accomplish this and
give the hogs something to keep them
busy besides. The hoghouse is built
with a slanting floor and in the end
at the high part is cut a trough the en-
tire width of the house, into which is
thrown leaf mold or broken sod. This
the swine will root down and it will
act as an absorbent to the manure, par.
ticularly the liquid portions. If the
floor is made quite slanting most of
this sod, ETC., will be rooted down to
the lower end by the hogs.
While the artist has not shown the
floor slanting, as it should be, in the
illustration, otherwise the cut will
show just how the pen should be built.
