BORAX in THE DAIRY
A Matter of Profitable Interest to
the Farmer and Dairyman

The problem Of keeping sweet all
the utensils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making, has been q serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest faint or hint of staleness
left in a can, tin or churn may ruin
a whole output; that the faint which
is left is in the form of bacteria
which grow and multiply in milk or
butter, producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue Of it's own which is, If any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it Is little wonder that
that there has been a constant clamor
that will meet modern requirements.
A few Of the largest creamery es-
Establishments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a prod
uct of nature which exactly fills the
bill-boraX.
Scientists have long known borax as
a cleanser, a sweetener and an anti
septic destroyer of bacteria and germ
growths. Destroys all that is harm
full and promotes and preserves fresh
ness, sweetness and purity, relieving
the dairyman and dairy housewife of
drudgery and Of needless work and
worry.
Its cheapness and value should give
it first place in the necessities Of
every dairy.
The cows udder is kept in a clean,
healthy and smooth condition by
washing it with borax and water, a
tablespoonful Of borax to two quarts
of water.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness or cracking teats, which make
milking time a dread to the cow and q
worry to the mixer.

THE STORY.

THERE was a dearth in the land, es-
L pecially in that portion of the coun-
try surrounding Gilgal. Successive
crops had failed owing to little or no
rain falling, and the people were much
distressed. In their impoverished con-
dition they were unable to make the
accustomed offerings to the school of
a result the students enrolled there
had but a scant living. AS a result of
this, there was much disbursement
and not a little murmuring, and it
seemed inevitable that the school must
close. But in the darkest hour of the
experience the prophet Elisha had
come and had cheered and encouraged
them to hold on yet a little longer, de-
claring that if the school should close
1t would be a reproach upon the land,
and the religious influence which the
school exerted would be destroyed.
The land is apostate enough al
ready without III leading it still fur
Their into forgetfulness of God.
Yea, is not the present distress of
the land due to the wandering of the
people from God? And what will fol
low If even the religious teachers and
leaders are scattered? Rather, let us
wait patiently until the Lord provide
deliverance."
Thus they had been encouraged to
wait patiently, and Elisha had re-
manned with them, sharing their
scanty fare and setting them an exam
pie of sublime faith and patience. And
so the days had passed. But the sit
uation had grown darker and darker.
To be sure thu land was beginning to
bring forth its fruits, but harvest day
was yet far ahead, and the supplies in
the school were practically exhausted.
YES" disconsolately

in the barrel had been used, Eve

there to provide for our needs? Can
it be supposed that the people who
are likewise suffering should bring to
us what they will need for them
selves"
But the first fruits belong to the
Lord and to those who minister in the
Lords service" was the response.
True" exclaimed the first speak
er, but what seem the people to care
for the claims of God upon them?"
And for that very reason let us
not by our conduct make it appear
that neither do we fear God"
But our last meal is gone, and we
shall starve even while we wait"
Thus was there murmuring and dis
enlargement throughout the school,
and it seemed as they went s~upperless
to bed that night that there remained
nothing for them to do but abandon

BUYING PAINT BLINDLY.

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as a lottery and so it is, the way
they do it. 1t is not necessarily So,
however. Pure White LeaI and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
a be easily found by the use of a
5lowpipe. Authorizations in linseed oil
can be detected with a fair degree of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly pat on and the
paint will stay put.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge, Building, New York City, will
send a blowpipe outfit and instruc-
tons for testing both white lead and
linseed oil, on request.

God will always make the Of
fering fit the need.
II Is the good things we pass
along, not the good things which
we keep, which are multiplied
many fold.
According to Gods arithmetic
the o w give the more we
have for ourselves.
First consecrate thy gift to
God and then let him direct in
The distribution thereof. Thus
shall thy offering be multiplied
many fold. This devout man Of
Baal-Shalisha brought of the
first fruits of his fields that the
man of God might be fed, and 10,
he hath fed not only the prophet
but the hundred needy sons of
the prophets gathered there.
Ii is the first fruits God a
use, not the left overs.
Too often we make certain u
own needs are satisfied before
we are willing to make our Of
ferings to God. 1t is this
reversal of the ScripturaI order
which not only destroys the
power of the gift but loses us
the blessing. Remember Gods
claims upon you first, and not
only will your offering be null
tiplied to the blessing of others,
but verify that which remain
eth unto thee shall be sufficient
for thy needs.
will a man rob God?" is a
question asked of old. And the
sad ansWer rings down the
ages: ayes, he will and does"
But in robbing God man robs
himself. In his blind selfishness
he clings to what he has and
misses the treasures God would
pour out upon him.
Listen! Bring we all the
tithes into the storehouse, that
there may be meat in mine
house, and prove me now here
with, saith the Lord of Hosts,
if | will not open you the win
dcWs of heaven, and pour you
out a blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive
it,"
There was a dearth in the
land. Why? Undoubtedly be-
cause the people had withheld
from God, and had consumed
time and thought and substance
upon the qualification of their
own desires and Iusts. But
there was one man who with
held not from God and blessing
came to that man and his Of
fering.
There is a dearth in the land
to-day in respect to the king
dom of God. Why? Because
Gods people are withholding
the first fruits from him and he
cannot send the blessing. If peo-
Pile would the order of
their giving, and remember
Gods claims upon them before
they sought to crafty their own
desires and needs, not only
would there be an increase in
the offerings to the Lord, but
the offerings would be multi
piled by God so that there
would not be room to receive his
blessing.
