EPWORTH LEAGUE LESSONS
Accounting for Our Time.--Luke 12.
35-48.-Epworth League AnniVer-
sary Day.

Passages for Reference: John 9. a;
Gal. 6. $40; Col. A. 5; Pet. 3. 10, IL.
If a man assigns a task to his work
men and then goes elsewhere to attend
to other matters, every one OF us
knows how the time of the workmen
ought to be put in while the head man
is away. Every such one left in
charge Is supposed to be so occupied
that whenever the good man shall re-
turn all things will be in readiness as
he wishes them. The fact Of uncer-
tainty as to the time of his return has
no effect to relieve him of RESPONSE
bility. The character of the servant Is
brought out all the more in the fact
that he does not presume upon a long
delay and so neglects the work till
near the time when he expects the re-
turn of his lord, but faithfully fills
the time of separation as If the good
man were there all the time. Men re-
veal their nature in the use they
make of their time. Whoever Is found
unfalthful to his tasks when the Mast
er returns will have to suffer.
Jesus realized that as the time was
brief in which he could do work for
others, and so honor the Father, he
must not let any time go to waste. So
shall we as Christians feel that the
time Is so brief that we have to use
that we must be about our Fathers
business" There are men and women
in need today Tomorrow they may
be past help. We shall have to do all
we can quickly, that no work be left
undone. Galatians warns us against
hot a
our time as we please and have no
dire results. Many become impatient
In doing good, but the word warns
against being weary in welldoing.
We are won't to mark off the circle
of recurring years by anniversaries
This is the anniversary" Sunday Of
the organization Of the Epworth
League. In 1889 the society began.
These have by no means been barren
years. They have witnessed many ad'
yances among the young people of the
church We rejoice in the victories
that have been won. But these have
been days of transition. They have
witnessed marvellous changes in meth
ods in every line of work.
We may not record so many en-.
thusiastic conventions, where great
numbers have thronged together, but
there has been a deeper searching
after the real helpful things for inspir-
alton and practical Christian living.
There comes a time when growth by
extension must In a manner cease. But
real prosperity need not be retarded
thereby. II any chapter has reached
the practical limit for extension as to
numbers 1t need not cease to grow. 1t
may not broaden, but it can rise.

cows come out of the barn in the
spring as clean as they are when on
pasture. Make no mistake about the
stall; this stall is the ideal method
for tying up cows.
Next in Importance is the covered
pail. Mine Is made after my own
ideas, and looks something like an
ordinary milk pail turned upside
down-small end up. The top is
seven inches in diameter. A shallow
pan two inches deep fits tight in the
top and is fastened there. A few
holes one-sixteenth of an inch in
diameter in the bottom of the pan
near the centre let the milk run
through into the pail. The spout of
the pail has a tight fitting cover.
One or two thicknesses of strainer
cloth are slipped under the pan before
it is fastened in place, and the re-
suit is q dust and dirt proof pail.
There is no patent on this pail.
To work this combination / pro-
ceed about as follows: l take my
pail and stool and sit down by the
COW, tie her tail, milk out the fore
milk, wipe her sides and udder with
cloth, and proceed to milk into the
shallow pan. The milk strikes the
bottom of the pan, runs through the
holes in the pan, through the strainer
cloth and into the pail, where it is
practically sealed from outside condi-
tions. 1t comes in contact with the
air of the barn only while it is pass
ing from the teat to the pan-a dis
tance of perhaps six inches. have

irretrievably damaged. II such a
tree should survive, it will never
prove healthy or prolific in the yield
of apples.
After the trees are large enough to
be in full bearing, no efforts are
made to protect them by spraying
against the numerous insect enemies.
The bark of the tree cracks, and these
cracks soon encircle the tree and the
tree dies. An orchard, to be profita-
bic, requires the greatest OF care.
The land must be fertilized from
time to time. Weeds, brushes and
briars must be kept down. The trees
must be watched carefully, and any
appearance of disease must be ar
rested by proper remedies. Unless
the orchard receives careful atten-
ton, 1t will prove waste Of time and
cumberer of the land.-Richmond

The Yankee Milk Pail.

While cities are demanding a bet
ter quality of milk and health officers
are doing their best to make the
farmer sit up and take notice, my
method of obtaining the simon pure
article may be of interest. Dust proof
ceilings and walls, whitewashed in
teriors, clipped cows, white duck
suits, ETC., are all we'll enough, but
farmers are few who will pay any at

Farm Notes.

Whatever may be said for or
against the practice of dehorning,
breeding the horns off is the better
way.
The farmer should take active in
terest in the condition of the roads
of his town. Their excellence in
creases the value of the farm.
The entomologists of the Depart
ment of Agriculture have found that
the common red ant and the larvae OF
a wasp fly are the best parasites for
the boil weevil.
Probably not half the farmers give
lime in any form to their fowls.
Those who DO not can hardly expect
the fowls to be particularly generous
to them in the supply of eggs, OF in
thickness of shell on those they do
furnish.
Wherever sheep feed new sweet
grasses flourish and weeds are de-
stroyed. For this reason farmers

and equally good reasons why every
farm should have its flock OF these

1t requires a we'll kept life to do

Thinking Of an Orchard?

Numerous apple orchards are
planted from which no adequate re-
turns are made for the amount of
work performed. Oftentimes the
trees are purchased from some peri
patetic and irresponsible tree peddler.
The trees are planted according to
the best methods, but a failure to
protect them against rabbits or other
vermin causes the destruction of
probably a fourth of the number the
first winter after they are planted.
The following summer the land
may be planted in some crop requir-
ing clean cultivation. as potatoes, to-
bacco, cabbage or tomatoes, and in
the plowing OF these crops 1t often

Sell Poor Cows.

The figures of really representa-
tive herds must mean something to
the thoughtful farmer. The herd of
low production and the individual
COWS that do not return the owner a
net profit of $12 or SIS per year
scarcely justify this investment of
money, time and labor in keeping
them. A study of these herds shows
that the economical thing to do is to
sell the poor cows to the butcher as
fast as they can be replaced with bet
ter producers. The latter can be ac-
complished either by more judicious
buying or by raising the heifer calves
of high-producing mothers mated to
a pure-bred sire having line of such
mothers in his ancestry.
This is not so difficult to do when
once the dairyman sets his standard
of a COW, determines definitely what
kind of a COW he will buy or produce,
and goes after that COW instead of
taking something else that may be
cheaper or easier to get. The great
est practical difficulty is in discover
ing what cows are poor and how poor
they are. This is quite easily done
in just one way-by weighing and
testing the milk of each cow often
enough throughout the milking
period to get a fair estimate of her
worth. Scales and a Babcock test
cost but few dollars and their use
may easily lead to an improvement
of the herd that will add hundreds
to tie profit annually. Should not
every dairyman ask (and answer) the
question, "On which side of the profit
line-and how far from its my
herd and every individual in it?"--

one Of the reasons why pneumatic
tires gradually become exhausted,
even when unpunctured, is that the
compressed air within slowly escapes
through the rubber, and this. process
is hastened by the oxidation of the
rubber, which causes 1t to crack. As
at least a partial remedy for this, 1t
has been proposed to initiate tires not
with ordinary air, but with nitrogen,
an inert gas which does not AFFECT
the rubber. Tests Of nitrogen-in-
flated tires for automobiles have been
made in France, and the results are
said to be encouraging.
