placed, resulting in a great incon-
venience in milking. At d may be
seen an udder deficient in the fore
part; at e an udder that is also lack
Ing in balance, the teats are not even
ly placed. and there is not sufficient
development Of the anterior region.
AT f is shown a small udder. There
is not enough room here to permit
the rapid elaboration of milk, which
is of prime Importance, as 1t Is a we'll
known fact that a comparatively
small quantity of milk is in the udder
when milking commences. 1t is like
wise thought by scientists that the
ability of COW to produce milk
abundantly is determined by the num-
ber of cells, and hence the area avail
able for the distribution of blood and
other fluids through the udder tissues
is too restricted In this instance. A
small udder is therefore a poor sign
of deep milking powers. though a
large udder, owing to the character
of tissues that may enter into its for
nation, Is not always a sign of good
mixer. At G is shown an udder
much cut up, with very large and
poorly placed teats; 1t is what may be
termed restricted udder, though
rather elongated. At II appears an
other form of udder often met with.
which, like that shown at G, is some
what funnel-shaped in character. 1t
has not sufficient rotundity, does not
come well forward on the stomach,
and Is lacking in development in the
posterior region.

Indications of vitality in Corn.

Brightness is not always sure
guide of the terminating power of
seeds, although 1t is one of the things
that will help us in selecting good
seed. Many ridicule the idea of max
Ing terminating tests to determine
the vitality of seed corn. They con-
tend they have selected seed corn
without testing unerrlngly for years,
and they get good, strong seed.
Maturity is the first thing to look
for The thoroughly matured ear of
corn has the germ we'll encased, and
1t will take unusual heat, with mois-
ture, to hurt 1t. The we'll ripened ear
shows rather a duh color, rather than
bright. smooth color. The butt and
tips should be bright and we'll dried
out; the rows should set firmly and
the grain should be dry enough to
she'll easily. All these are outward
indications. Then go still further;
dig down into the germ, and even If
this Is firm and bright better be on
the safe side and make a careful test
in dirt. The outward signs OF good
seed ears are all right to so by when
we are selecting out the ears, but
they are not safe to plant by.-L. G..

are of the importunate sort.
The more one prays the more he

essence Of prayer is confession and
submission. When we come to, God
for his gifts. whether of pardon Or OF
other spiritual or material blessings,
we must come into court with clean

Persistence in prayer In this case
moved an unjust man to do a just
deed. He was not affected by the
righteousness Of the Widows case;
his own character had no influence
upon his decision and yet he decided
Justly. When men pray to God their
persistence has added to It the things
which did not influence the unjust
Judge; there is the righteousness OF
the claim which is presented, for
God always considers that; then
there Is Gods own character, which
: Is pledged to hear and answer such
prayer.

great crisis of his life his deed came
first Israel was smitten with
drought that seemed to have no pros

rael, was eager for its end to come,
but he knew that first he must do a
great work for righteousness In Israel,
no that the nations heart would turn
again to God. That explains the
dramatic scenes on Mount Carmel. In
the midst Of them he stopped to
pray. And while he sat on Carmers
summit, the answer to his prayer
came in the clouds on the wings OF
the western wind.

The surest evidence that we are

God leads us through our con-
science,--by knowing things (scio)
with (con) US.
1t is not necessary to be conscious
that we are led, but to fulfil the con-
ditions of being led, and trust that
We shall be led.
God leads men by leading the lead
ers of men. and often we disobey
Him by disobeying them.
Illustrations.
The Eastern shepherd leads his
flock. going ahead of them and not
driving them. So God leads us.
Sneep are gregarious; II one is led,
others are likely to be led. So do you
be led for the sake of others, an
well as for your own sake.
The sheep are safer with a shep-
herd outside tho fold. then inside the
fold but without shepherd. Trust
In God rather than In circumstances.

sheep. or as wolf.

Rodman Clark Held over.

After a hearing before County
Judge 1.ightfoot, Rodman Clark.
charged with the murder of Vernon
Davis, seven-year-old child. by Civ
ing him whisky, was held to the
grand jury on a charge of involun-
tary manslaughter, and bail fixed at
81 900. At previous hearing before
Magistrate Gholson which was illegal.
Clark was held for murder under
$500 bond.
In his summary of the evidence
Judge Lightfoot said there was no
reason to believe Clark had forced
the child to drink the whisky. but
that the court was of the opinion he
gave the child the whisky and the
child did not get the whisky from
Clarl1's pocket and drink II, as was
contended by the defense.
Clark himself testified he did not
give the child whisky and the child
must have gotten II while he was i'm
drunken stupor. He said that the
child's head was resting on his knee
when he awoke and was In that posi-
tion a few minutes later whenia sister
of the child came along the road
where they were.
Dr. Davis, who attended the child.
said he got about an ounce OF whisky
from the child's stomach by use of
stomach pump. He did not believe
the child could have drank that
amount OF whisky voluntary. DR..
Davis testified that he gave the child
a hypodermic injection of atrophine
and strychnine in efforts to stimulate
and revive him, and also gave several
minute doses of morphine TO ease APP
parent pains in the stomach.
Clark testified he and the child, a
son Of Ike Davis. went to the home
of Andy Clark. the child's grand
father, and there procured a quart OF
whisky. Clark had been intoxicated
the night before and after taking a
few drinks from the bottle fell by the
roadside while returning to the
child's home, and when he awoke the
child was also drunk. but ne denied
any knowledge of how the child got
the whisky.
Judge Lightfoot said he did not be-
lieve the defendant could be charged
with murder, for there was no malic-
lous intent shown; but that Clark
gave the child drink while he himself
was drunk which mitigated the Of
tense, though ii did not excuse II.
II was brought out by the defense
hat the child had an appetite for
whisky and the defense hopes to
prove on final trial that on one other
! occasion the child stole whisky from
witness. who was not present today.
On the other hand the commonwealth
sought to prove that Clark had made
another child drunk with whisky.
