CEDARS OF LEBANON.
Trees Famous in Ancient Times Now
Almost Extinct

The cedars of Lebanon. famed
throughout Christendom because of the
reference made TO them frequently in the
Scriptures and by early classical writer's
as well, seem destined to suffer the fate
of other decaying species, such as the
buffalo, which once roamed the plains in
countless numbers, and the Sequoia gil
gantea. the giant redwood of California,
which seems doomed to rapid extinction.
The cedars of Lebanon belong to this
class of nearly if not quite extinguished
species, but the few remnants which still
are accessible have double interest be-
cause of their history, their central To-
cation and future possibilities.
David, 5000 years ago. is recorded as
having built in Jerusalem a house of
wood from these trees. Through the CO.
operation of Hiram, King of Tyre, Solo
mon brought great RATS of cedar from
Lebanon to Joppa, and carried the tim
Der up the steep mountain slope to Je-
rusalem for the first temple, while in the
building of the second temple, under
Ezra and Nehemiah, the same source of
supply was resorted TO. Ezekiel refers
to the use of this wood III shipbuilding,
and Isaiah for the manufacture of idols.
The principal grove of cedars now eX-
tant consists of about 400 trees. grow
ing in an amphitheater at the head of
the Kadisha river, at an elevation of
$500 feet above the sea and only about
twenty-five miles distant from it. The
preservation of this group of trees is
due 10 the sacred character it is pre-
sumed to bear. The word "kadisha' is
the Hebrew for holy" The grove is
now protected by a neatly built high
stone wall, and viewed from every point
stands out like an oasis in desert, pre-
senting striking contrast to the gen
eral barrenness surrounding it.

The Z~oroastrian faith acknowledges
Ormazd, Ahura Mazda, Lord Wis
DOM" as the supreme god, with six
archangels, AmeSha Spenta, and a
company of angels, Yazata. about him
to rule and guide the world. The in
fernal host of fiends and archliends
who wal against heaven and strive to
destroy the future life of man is led by
Anra Mainyu, the evil spirit. In dis
GUESSING with these Zoroastrians the
Fubject of the origin of evil | found
that they look upon the supreme being,
Ahura Mazda, as comprising within
himself the two powers OF good and
evil-namely, Spenta Mainyu, the holy
spirit, and Anra Mainyu, the evil spir-
II. This is similar To the monotheistic
view held by the Parsis of India in
opposition to the statement frequently
made that Zoroastrianism is pure dual
ism. They believe also in the resurrec-
ton of the dead, which their faith has
taught them since early times, and this
doctrine is connected with the belief
that there will come a saviour or mes
siah, called the Saoshyant.-A. V. VIII

America" being Dutch. He gave an

inspired the Idea that II was not I'M

that the Dutch, Ia spite Of their stolidi-
ty. had a great deal Of humor them
selves. For instance" he would say.

SHIPPING CATTLE.
some Points on Grating and Sailing
by Express and Freight.

Express is always preferable TO
freight where the expense is not too
great. Express companies require the
animals to be Grated, and generally |
use a short, light slat crate for little
calves. with head protruding from the
crate-that Is, the body alone is cased.
With older and larger animals / use a
large, strong and heavier crate, full
length of animal, with the animals
neck placed in a sort of %stanchion
made of two hardwood sticks that run
from floor to top and are secured at
each end. Feed can then be placed
before the animal and water will be
given by the express company's people.
In shipping by freight it is generally
necessary for some man to accompany
the stock as an attendant, and then
feed, bedding, etc, are supplied for the
trip and the attendant is expected to
care for. feed and water the stock.
The animals can be placed in stalls
that are made in the car or in stan
chions which run the length of the car.
These are made by taking two four or
five inch pieces at top and two more
at bottom and at regular intervals
place an upright which is securely fas-
tened to these pieces and also to the
floor and the roof of the car, her in
between these pieces or uprights place
a piece that reaches from floor just to
the top of the frame, being pinned at
the base so that ii will move enough
at the top to allow the animals head
to enter the space, then close the space
and put in another pin at the top to
hold it there firmly.
The animals, of course, stand side
ways in the car and unless exception
ally large will have ample room in the
ordinary eight foot wide car and leave
a space in front of the stanchion for
feeding. Hay in small bales can be
carried owe the animals by building a
sort of floor over them. Water can
be carried in barrels near the door
ways to be used In case of necessity or
haste. Where only one or two ami
mails are to be shipped by freight they
a be tied in the end of the car or a
cheap stall made. Almost all railways
require the presence Of an attendant
and generally give free fare at least
n way and sometimes both ways

blind From birth.

1t would be of great interest TO know
how much Helen Keller, losing her
sight at nineteen months, really retain
ed Of the sense of sight. With Laura
Bridgman, a woman of much less in
~tellect, there was evidently little or
nothing left, even as a memory. With
her taste and smell We're very feeble,
SO that communication with the world
was, indeed, through a narrow pas
sage. Her sensitiveness to vibration
was so fine that without any trace OF
the sense of hearing she was aware Of
the tolling of a bell. But her biogra-
pher, giving us In detail the record Of
the slow steps Of her education, tells
US little of what idea she vas able to
form of things. 1t is S~chopenhauer
who gives one hint of what we all
want to know of the born blind. He
says that a man blind from birth to
whom sight was given by an operation
put his hand to his eye to grasp there
and not In their place the things he
saw.-London Chronicle.

Save Surplus Forage.

When the season Is a prolific one for
grass, instead Of allowing immense
quantities to go to waste during the
summer, farmers would be wise to con
serve a portion Of the surplus In the
form Of ensilage for their cattle. AMI
mails which chew the cud differ from
all other classes In requiring their food
comparatively juicy and bulky. Their
digestive apparatus is formed to suit
this kind of food; hence the cow or
bullock cannot thrive exclusively on
dry food as well as a horse does. Any
method by which green folders can be
preserved in the s%ucculent condition is
well worth the attention Of the farmer.
1t will enable him to utilize his hay
and straw to advantage and carry his
stock through periods of drought with
comparative ease. BY a combination
Of dry and succulent food the largest
amount of nutriment is extracted from
both. In some places where roots are
grown they take the place of silage.
but in all cases II Is a great advantage
to be able to secure the crop just when
1t is In its best condition, and there Is
no question that the silo should be re-
garded as Indispensable on every pro-

Raising Hol.tein Cattle.

The Dutch system of feeding and
rearing the famous Holstein-F riesian
cattle is simplicity itself. The calves
are given whole milk until about FIVE
weeks old, when the ration Is gradual
ly changed to skim milk and grain.
The grain Is cooked Of steamed and
fed with the milk at first and later is
fed dry Immediately before the milk is
given. When grass Is available 1t
forms the entire ration for heifers, and
during winter the rations are only suf-
tcient to keep them growing. Bulls
ire fed In the same manner until they
Ire a year old, after which they are
closely confined, but regular exercise Is
given daily. Bulls used for breeding
Are kept in stables or paddocks and
are well fed, but not allowed to be-
come fat. Roots In winter and green
forage In summer are largely used

Care of Breedins Ewes.

We feed our breeding ewes literally
with roots and plenty Of clover hay,
says a writer in the American Agri-
culturist. We have large, well yenti-
lated sheds and let the ewes have plen-
ty Of exercise, keeping them out of all
storms. 1t does not do a sheep any
good to get wet. We aim to have our
ewes in a good healthy condition. al
ways use the best rams we can secure
and mate them with the ewes early In
the season. We find that early lambs do
far better than late ones, provided they
can be cared for properly. We Gull our
lambs and fiocks carefully each year,
sending all inferior animals to the
butchers block.
