1908 greeting: Dear sisters Of the w.
G. 7. o., although two months have
gone by we send New Years greetings,
earnestly desiring that the year 1908
may bring rich experience OF grace and
Astounding happiness to each. In seek
ing for happiness let US remember that
Jesus Christ came into the world to save
sinners, and the story Of his life is
summed up in three sentences: 40,
come to do thy will" "He went about
doing good. !" at is finished" Herein
has he left us an example that we should
follow in his steps, with Paul, until our
work on earth is ended. We must say.
mot as though | were already perfect,
but follow after" and like Him, also
may we continually press towards the
mark for the prize of our high calling Of
God, in Christ Jesus. But let us ever
bear in mind that we can make progress
towards this work only when found in
the path of Christians walking in the
footsteps of our Divine Master, who
came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and who, Though he were
rich, vet for our sakes became poor.
and returning to the bosom OF the Faith
er has left with all his followers the sac
red trust of carrying forward the work
He began. We are to feed the hungry,
clothe the naked, minister to the sick,
comfort the sorrowing, rescue the perish
ing, and proclaim to the lost the way of
salvation. "If We know these things
happy are we if We do them.'
80, dear sisters, let us begin with
this new year. What we cannot do our
selves we can do through representa-
tives, whom we help to sustain with our
sympathy, our prayers, our substance,
walking thus with Jesus, doing heartily
as unto the Lord the work entrusted to
us, and we may rest assured that the
"well done" of the Master will be ours,
and 1908 will prove that "bread cast
upon the waters will return to us after
many days, not void, but fraught with
much good to ourselves, as well as those
we are seeking to help Let us work
this year for God, and home, and ma
tive land" If we do this 1908 will
prove happy new year indeed.

RAISING HOGS
FOR MARKET.

Writing I'm American Cultivator on
his method of raising hogs for market.
]. T. Fletcher, the New York breeder.
says:
/ always raise my own feeders. l get
better bred pigs. No one can afford to
buy pure breds for market, and yet no
pig will fatten as profitably as one that
is well bred from mature stock. am
more sure of healthy stock with pigs
that have been raised in my own pens
Then, too, 1t is cheaper to raise the
pigs than to buy.
The feeding should be begun as soon
as the pigs will eat if it is to be done
for the largest profit. Keep the pigs
growing from the very start They
have good sized pasture with excellent
grass. | keep them on this until about
six or eight weeks before selling. All
this time l feed them we'll with slop
and dry corn, so when l turn them into
the yards they are well started in the
fattening process.
While they are in the yards l keep
increasing the corn ration until the
hogs are getting all they will eat. /
supplement this with slop made from
some meal, such as ground corn, oats
or rye. This Is mixed with skim milk
from thirty cows and what l can buy.
find that mixture of cornmeal, rye
and skim milk Will make more growth
and the meal aud milk fatten the hogs
faster, thus making pork cheaper than
when grain is used without milk or
milk without grain.
l regard skim milk as valuable
part of the hog ration, worth at least

With Using Mails to Deiraad

Sears, Roebuck & Co.. the great
Chicago mail order house, must stand
trial in the federal court at Des
Moines, says the Leader of that city,
on charges of using the United States
mails to defraud. An Indictment
containing three counts was returned
against the firm by the federal grand
jury. The penalty upon conviction
will be fine of $500 on each count.

cases in which it is alleged the COM
pany misrepresented articles listed
for sale in its catalogues, which were
out through the mails. Besides the
catalogues, it is claimed that the con-
Germ used letters, circulars, pamphlets,
order blanks and letter heads to de-
ceive it's customers.

"One Touch Of Nature Makes
the whole World Kin"

When a rooster finds big fat worm
he calls all the hens in the farm yard
to come and share it.. A similar >tTait
of human nature is to be observed when
a man discovers something exception
ally good-he wants all his friends and
neighbors to share the benefits of his
discovery. This is the touch Of nature
that makes the whole world kin. This
explains why people who have been
cured by Chamberlain Cough Remedy
write letters to the manufacturers for
publication, that others similarly ailing
may also use it and obtain relief. Be-
hind everyone of these letters is warm
hearted wish of the writer to be Of use
