To Obtain q Dairy Herd.

Professor Err, of Kansas Station,
tells how to obtain a profitable dairy
herd, as follows; BY keeping a year.

making fat test every seventh week,

an idea which COW you should SELL
Reduce the herd down to those that
pay. Improve the conditions that
surround the cows; make their milk
making condition comfortable; venti-
late and tighten the stable. Study
the principles of scientific feeding;
don't be scared at the idea of doing
little hard reading and study. Learn
the principles of right feeding for
milk. Get a bull of some decided
dairy breed; buy a good one; COM
mence to raise well-bred dairy heifers
and develop them into good profit
making COWS. Half Of the cows were
not born to produce milk profltably.
They are the product of the uncow-
like ideas of the men who produced
them. There was no thought or brain
work put into their breeding. How
can they do any better? Amy man
who will travel the road we have in
dicated will in a short time see a
wonderful difference in the profit of
his dairy labor and then he will see
that 1t is mighty important to know
his cows and what their butter costs.

Cold or Catarrh.

This complaint is one of the COM

young stock. Although not serious,

OF the young birds, and is very catch

are a slight watery discharge from
the nostrils, which, II neglected, be-

moisture. Under this treatment birds
improve rapidly, but with some It is
impossible to get rid OF the affection

Feeding Grain in sheaf.

There is quite Il saving of labor
when the hens can be made to do a
portion of the work for themselves.
A poultryman who has excellent sue
cess finds it more profitable to feed
sheaf oats and sheaf wheat than to
thrash the grain for the hens. He
states that when he throws one or
two sheafs on the floor the hens are
compelled to work to get the grain.
They do not cease their operations
when they have secured all of the
grain, but continue to get more if
they can, and work the straw over
and over. He always cuts the bands
and mixes the sheafs. Now, that is
an idea that is not new to some and
it is not known to all. 1t shows how
easily one may provide work for the
hens and also save labor to a certain
extent. The fowls are always willing
to work for the food received if not
given to them in a manner which
requires no effort on their part. 1t is
not inferred that such a mode of
feeding is the best, as the hens should
have something more than grain.
Where one must purchase grain, let
1t be thrown in cut straw, so that
each hen can work and get her share,
instead of one domineering hen Sc

Pull Your pont Up stream.

To drift with the current or to
pull against it--this is the problem
which is born anew with each new
day. Some of our daily duties are
easy to perform. We turn to them
as easily and naturally as water seeks
a level. There is no conscious eX-
penditure of will-power There is no
resistance in our nature that must
be overcome. But these are the du-
ties of the day in whose performance
there is found the least merit.
Fortunately Tor us we cannot. or
at least dare not, always drift. Each
day has its tasks which test the will
and try the heart. Their PERFORM
ance requires stern determination.
They afford the lest discipline and
develop the latent powers of the soul.
Inclination is not always-in fact, not
often-a true test of the thing we
ought to do first.
Sometimes it has been a source Of
wonder to find preacher very -eady
In the use of language, and yet max
ing no Roadway in his chosen profess
sion. In more than one case the eX-
planation has been found in a dislike
OF study and reading on his part. To
talk has been with him as easy as
to drift. To study-well, lie has been
unwilling to pull against the current,
and he has failed.
To pull against the current devel-
ops muscle, lung and nerve. II in

man. hand and bond servant as II is
to all the hosts OF sin. profanity dis
integrates the unity OF individual

without dishonoring God and dam

in word to the evil that is In us
without spreading contamination not
only through our own lives but also
through the lives of men and women

But the last and the worst charge
that may be upheld against profanity
Is that It Is ungodly. Thou shall

horridness of profanity you need but

We need to-day strict lnsistence
upon cleanliness of language. No
man can be a friend of Jesus who is
ungodly in his talk. Christ proved
divinely the possibility of forceful
speaking without the use of profan-
ity. And to-day men are most force
full, most manly. most convincing

In the story Of the demoniac who
was healed, and the attitude OF the
owners Of the swine that were lost
in the sea, we have a sad revelation
OF human nature, and an exemplih-
cation of our subject. 1t shows us
that human nature is the same in
all ages, and that the commercia-
lism that we are alarmed about In
these days had its beginning far
back in history. They had no objec-
ton to the demoniac being healed,
but they did not want II at their ex-
pense. IL the coming of Jesus to
their borders meant any loss OF
money to them they wanted him to
go, no matter how many men were
put in their right minds by his COM
ing. The same thing is found in
the story in Acts. The silversmiths
made their living out of the manu-
facture Of idols-images OF Great
Diana of the Ephesians. When Paul
preached the vanity of idols, and
men forsook their idol worship, It
meant no sale for their goods.
Their business would be affected.
Accordingly they became angry with
the one who proclaimed the gospel.
Commercialism is the spirit of the
age. 1t is the spirit that measures
everything with money standard.
It Is the money-mad spirit of the
times which measures success In
dollars and cents. The great aim OF
men in these days is to make money.
II is not money that is wrong. 1t
is not itself an evil. But the Give
of money" is the root Of evil. The
passion for money seems to hold
some men in its grip as firmly as
other men are bound by the appe'
tite for strong drink. This spirit is
at the basis of most of the evils or
our day. We know how men are
willing to traffic in the bodies OF
men through the saloon and the bro
thel in order that they may fill their
Golfers with money. Little do they
care that by doing it they are con-
signing their victims to eternal de-
struction.
Such spirit in the community
cannot help being a menace to the
welfare of men.
Commercialism does not seek
first the kingdom of God" but
seeks first for money. Not In the
form of the calf, as in olden times,
but in the form of money, gold be-
comes mems god 1t is too desir-
able for anything to stand in the
way. Principles of the kingdom are
if no account when this passion
seizes upon men.

Ensilage.

Is It proper to feed ensilagc to
poultry in winter?-S. w. e., Phila-
delphia. Answer: Chickens will
eat ensllage to a certain extent dur
ing the winter months; they love to
scratch among 1t, and eat little, but
waste more than they eat. Corn en-
silage Is not considered a valuable
food for poultry. When ensilage Is
recommended for fowls, the writer's
usually refer to that made from
grass, clover. rye or other like green
stuff. Formerly they used to store
away ensilage of this kind to feed
to poultry and other stock. Very
shortcut clover or alfalfa hay is
much better than ensilage of any
kind. Cut this in half-inch lengths
and throw It in the houses, and they
will consume all except stems and
wood fiber Mangel-wurzel, the large
sweet beet, is often grown, cut and
fed to poultry in ter.-Country
