at the proper seasons.
Navel il. is a disease which is OF 4
fatal character not only TO lambs, but
also calves. and appears shortly after
the birth of the animals. Outbreaks
of the disease also occasionally occur
among foals, the joints being the chief
seat of the disease. The disease is
one which can only be successfully
dealt with by the practice of strict
cleanliness on the part Of the shep-
herd or other person in charge of the
animals, combined with q system of
antiseptic treatment of the navel cord
shortly after birth. Lambs are born
vigorous and healthy, but within a
few days their sprightliness disap-
pears and stiffness of the joints be-
comes apparent, followed by the for
nation of assesses on the joints. in
the Emphatic glands and on the lips
and muZZle.
1t Is not probable that any prevent
i've measures will entirely eradicate
this disease from an infected district,
but attention to the following may do
much to prevent losses from that
cause:
"a Large focks should be subdi-
vided for lambing purposes. Instead
of n lambing yard, three or four
smaller yards should be provided. If
the disease appears in one of the
smaller yards. it may be prevented
from spreading.

septic and a%stringent lotion. This kills

Cir Had Running Sores from Eczema
-Eoy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by C%uticura.

Last year, after having my little
xirl treated by a very prominent ply
sician for an obstinate case OF &c
zema, | resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies. and was so well pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks We had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence oil
the trouble.
In July Of this year a little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands m arms were
a mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment. and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolyent. In
about three weeks his hands and
arms healed up. So we have lots OF
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu
ticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Liz

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.
Satisfactory Yields of Wheat and
Good Prices.

Dundurn, Sask.. Sept. 80, 1906.
Mr.. w. H. Rogers, Canadian Govern.
ment Agent,
indianapolis, Ind.
My Dear Sir:
When you we're at our place in July
| promised to write you what my
north quarter made per acre. You
will remember it was all sown TO wheat.
Well, | finished threshing yesterday
and received from it an average of
43A bushels per acre-testing 64la
pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat
is the best sample | have ever raised
SO uniform and even in size. You
may know it was a good sample when
/ tell you that | have already sold 1000
bushels OF it for seed to my ~neighbors.
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life. My wheat
totaled $3.50 bushels and my oats
nearly 5000.
II you remember ] pointed out to
YOU a half section lying just west OF
our house and joining my upper quar-.
ter on the south. which ! said | should
have in order TO make one of the best
farms in western Canada. | am very
glad TO be able to tell you that | now
that half section. Ny ambition
now is to be able TO market 20, 00O
bushels of wheat next year. If some
of those good, honest HOosiers could
have been with M during the last two
weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seen it in
great piles in my granaries, | feel sure
hey would have been forced to
acknowledge there is no better farm,
ing country in the world than this.
may just say that ] have done all my
farming with eight head of horses and
me hired man except during harvest
and t~hreshing. This year | proved to
my neighbOr that the HOOsierS, when
once woke up" car raise grain equal
to the best Minnesota farmers. His
best yield was 42l2 bushels per acre,

Two errors in operating separators

first consists in allowing too much

Hogs may be Srazed on alfalfa the

would be TO supply the soil with the
bacteria. L~eguminous plants, cow.

THE STORY.
 HERE seemed no way but for the ! Gibeonites to joint forces with the federated kings in the proposed war upon Joshua and the armies of Israel Never before had the entire country between Jordan and the great sea been so aroused as at the present time. Tidings of the coming of the hosts of Israel had reached the land while yet the Israelites were in the wilderness far to the south and west, but since the miraculous crossing of the Jordan and the destruction of ter icho and Ali the vague fears which had filled the minds of the inhabit- ants had taken definite form in the desperate resolve to unite and give battle to Israel.
 That very day a deputation from the kings of the Hittites, the Amor ties. the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, and others of the less CT tribes of the country urged them to make alliance in the common cause against Israel.
 Tt is plain.' the messengers said, "that these Hebrews seek war. They arrogate unto themselves great i'm portance, and have openly declared contempt for our gods. They have destroyed Jericho and Ali with the in- habtants thereof, and they would do so to us. And because of this. oh, men of Gibeon, the kings of all the country to the north and south and along the coast of the great sea are raising great army to give battle to Israel. and have sent us to urge that your fighting men join them in this war"
 This speech of the messengers was received with evident favor by the chief men of Gibeon who had been called together in council, and they would at once have given assent to the plan, had not old Second-Thought as he was called-because of his in variable habit of saying: Don't be in haste.

Cheering news comes to hand of the progress in Japan. Bishop liar. ris, who has charge of the American Methodist Missions in Korea and Japan, says that during the recent war the churches made great gains in membership, and that they are now unusually active in evangelistic efforts. As regards audiences. minis. ters of churches, baptisms, and the circulation of the Scriptures, things have not been so bright for a long time; and the gospel IS receiving a better hearing than at any period since its introduction generation ago. Another very healthy feature of Japanese Christianity reported bv the Record of Christian Work. is the steady progress towards independ. ence of foreign aid. In a short time it is hoped that the Japanese churches will be self-sustaining. and even become missionaries, sending at native teachers to China and Korea

SEPMONEfTE.

And they asked not counsel , at the mouth Of the Lord."- These words explain why Israel : failed to keep herself free from ' unholy alliances, and it is the : explanation of every misstep of the Christian today.
 [ The world is able to bam- boozle the children of God be- cause they look on the evidence { which the world submits, rather { than looking to God who giveth wisdom to all men for the ask { ing.
 To Israel the case seemed SO [ plain, |! suppose, that it seemed : positively silly to ask God about { it. Like the little boy who ! prayed for the protection of { God only at night, because dur ! ing the day he could take care { Of himself, so the Israeites thought that in the present situ- ation they needed naught but { their own judgment in deciding { their course of action. [ And it was just when they felt the Wisest and most able to I take care of themselves that
 the enemy turned the trick upon 1 them.
 ! Life is full of mistakes and tragedies because everybody
 else and everything else is con- { suited rather than the source
 of all light and all wisdom. { But how is God to be consult I ed about everything? ! By subordination of the per- I sonaI inclination and the con- ! scious recognition of higher 1 will and higher purpose than our
 own.
 : By diIigent use of our God ! given powers, while at the same 1 time there is an appreciation of { the Limitations of human wis
 dom and judgment.
 ! By the exercise of patience. 1 Take time to decide a point at
 issue. A misstep is taken { through haste which prevents a
 clear reading of the sign-post at { the intersection of the ways. [ By the spirit of prayer per ! vadng the life. Pray without 1 ceasing is the Scriptural admo-
 milton. How? Surely not stay I ing on pended knee in the se- cret chamber and audible repe- tition of words and phrases.
 Surely not by going about with
 closed eyes and mind absorbed
 in spiritual contempIations. Sure 1 Iy not by any outward cloak of
 sanctmoniousness. No. What
 then? Prayer is communion with ! God. And that communion con- l sists in the conscious and un-
 conscious domination of God in ] the life. 1t marks the perpet-
 uaI attitude of the soul, so, that ] whether immersed in business
 for the time being, or what not, ! Gods spirit is operative in the I life. This is prayer without
