old Times, Old Friends, Old Love.
There are no days like the good old dayl,
The days when we were youthful!
When humankind. were pure of mind,
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before love Of sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion.
And before each dame and maid became
Slave to the tyrant Fashion,
There are NO girls like the good old
girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em!
As buxom and smart and clean Of heart
As the Lord knew how to make 'em!
They were rich In spirit and common
sense.
And piety all supportin';
They could bake and brew, and had
taught school, too,
And they made such likely courtin'.
There are no boys like the good old
When we were boys together!
When the grass was sweet to the brown,
bare feet
That dimpied the laughing heather;
When the pewee sang to the summer
OF the bee In the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip-poor.will
Echoed its night song over.
There is no love like the good old love-
The love that mother gave us!
We are old, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God save us!
En- c,I - r.
times,
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder,
As those dear old dreams bring soothing
CLEANS
OF heaven away off yonder.

When survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride
Forbid It, Lord, that should boast,
Save in the death Of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most,
sacrifice them to His blood.
See, from His head His HANGS, His fest,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down:

Experiment. with Lambs.
Some breeds Of sheep attain heavy
weights II pushed from the start. but
they must have rich pastures and be
given plenty Of grain. A full allowance
Of hay will be sufficient, with but little
grain, but some Of the mutton breeds
can consume over two pounds Of grain
each per day. An experiment with
lambs at the Iowa station showed that
100 lambs Of various breeds consumed
34,oO1 pounds of food In ninety days
and gained 4,678 pounds, while seven
selected individuals Of the breeds con-
sumed 23,792 pounds Of fool and
gained 1921 pounds. The gain was at
the rate of one pound increase In live
weight for each 1877 pounds Of food
(dry matter) & all breeds tested, and
one pound for each TBS pounds Of food
by the seven special breeds, the food
consisting Of corn. oats, bran, oil meal.
turnips, mansels, pea hay, clover hay
and timothy, the average gain being a
little over half pound a day. Tho
cost Of the gain in live weight was 2.SS
cents per pound for the selected breeds
and 2.93 cents for the others This
does not include the fleece. labor or
manure. The lambs sold at $4.75 per
hundred pounds, live weight. and the
yearlings at $4.25. Shropshire year
lings dressed over GO per cent Where
early lambs are gotten into market the
prices received are sometimes very
high. and the growth Of the lambs Is
promoted by liberal feeding and care.
The object In calling attention to the
mutton breeds is to show the impor-
lance Of feeding lambs and sheep. in
stead of depending on cheap lands and
scanty pastures In the summer give
the sheep good pastures and grain; in
winter, feed variety Of food, using
plenty of hay and grain, and give them
comfortable quarters at night.
