Scotch Egg Preserving.

A favorite mixture for PRESERVING
eggs in Scotland is described by Con.
sui Maxwell Blake. Twenty gallons OF
water are added to half a bushel Of
lime and half peck of salt. After
standing a few hours the liquid is
poured over the eggs, which are usual.

preserved in this way become rough
and brittle and must be handled care.

Improbable Cows.

The improbable COW may be a
product of her owners lack of wis
dom in feeding her, or she may be
naturally OF beefy kind and unfit for
milking in any case. If the first be
the cause it can be mended easily by
change of methods. If theslast be the
reason, the remedy lies in exchanging
her for cold cash at the butchers or
stock yards. Many good COW does
not pay her way because she is not
fed right.

Duty.Eoim0

The great duty OF life is to serve
God and men, to render personal serv.
ice, to give personal sympathy, to be
kind and generous and unselhsh, to
control ourselves and to help others to
control themselves; to be faithful with
duty-doing wherever we are and at any
cost, to set God first in our lives and
90 get for him the first place in other
lives. Our material task is the shell.
The motives and purposes and spirit
Of the soul within are the life. En-.
folded in the material tasks to which
we are called is a higher, more endur-
ing work-the love and service of the
truth of God

Feeding Hay.

1t is mistake to fill the hangers
full of hay and allow the horses to
eat all they will at all feeds. The
only time a horse should be allowed
to eat full feed of hay is at night
while he is resting, and when there is
long time for digestion. Hay is a
bulky feed and distends the digestive
organs. A horse with his stomach
stuffed full Of hay must undoubtedly
suffer discomfort in working under
such conditions. Hence, the morning
and noon feeds Of hay should be light,
so that the horse may not be com.
PEELED to work with sense of undue
fullness all day.

Tree Onion.

The Egyptian or perennial tree
onion Is usually planted in September.
where it is allowed to remain until
spring, when it produces numerous
stems which are used like set onions.
If allowed to mature it produces a
small cluster of bullets instead of
seed. It is not as highly esteemed as
onions raised from sets, but is often
grown as substitute therefore.

A three-cornered board is placed as

strained While Feeding to Pre-
vent All Kinds of Trouble.

When one has quite a few calves to
raise by hand it is very essential to
have some way of fastening them
while they eat. They are such lively
and greedy little creatures that they
will cause no end of trouble If man
has no other way of holding them
while they eat than by straddling their
necks. This drawing shows stanchion
that is very easily made and proves
very effective.
Poles are fastened at the floor so
that they will rock back and forth be-

Take few pieces of boards two

Based on the Apocryphal Book of
Tobit. chapter IA

Based on the Apocryphal Book of
Tobit, chapter IA.
The Book of Tobit.-vIew OF the Book
It is held by Bible students that this
Book of Tobit cannot be regarded as a
true history. 1t is a didactic narrative,
and the whole point of the story lies in
the moral lessons which it conveys, and
not in the supposed historical incidents
which are mentioned. In fact, like the
Book of Judith. which follows Tobit in
the collection. it is considered as belong
ing to the earliest specimens of his
tor1cal fiction. In modern times, the NOR
al excellence of the book has been rated
highly except in the heat of controversy.
Nowhere else is there preserved so COM
plete and beautiful a picture of the do
nestle life of the Jews after the return
from captivity to Jerusalem. There are
IA chapters composing the book.
