The Laws of Nature.

The universe Is under the reign of
law, which is everywhere-in things
mean and minute as well as in things
uoble and great. So far as we have
come into an understanding OF these
laws we have found none defective.
No sound philosophy can concede
that a law Of nature can be out Of bal
ance or in any way less than true and
perfect. When we advance II theory to
the point where 1t would prove that
law of nature is out Of balance and de-
fective. we should know that tie con-
cluslon Is wrong; that 1t Is our reason
ing. and not the law, that Is out OF
balance and defective.-From Bal
ance: The Fundamental Verify" by

An Old Cows Worth.

Thirty years ago Canadian farmer
invested in a good but not fashionably
bred Shorthorn COW. He bred her and
her descendants to good bulls. This
year he sold his herd, all bred by HIM
self except the herd ball and all descend
ed from the original COW. They num-
bered 90 head and brought, exclusive Of
the bull, slO.l45. No doubt this herd
had more than paid its way ever since
it was founded, otherwise the breeder
would not have kept it up. It would
be interesting to know what the old COW
brought this breeder, but certainly she
proved a good investment. Another
example of success from humble be-
ginning. A man does not need to be
wealthy to make start in breeding live
stock. Ii he has the ability and is will
ing to give the business the attention 1t
requires he can build up good herd
that will some day make him independ-
educational StOckman.
