Thomas Cars
Are Well Tested !

les have regarded the block testing
department as Unimportant, and except
the function Of running in the engine,
so that II could be turned over or
started easily in the road test This
being the case, the department set
aside in most factories is dark room
poorly kept and lacking in attention
in every way. The Thomas designers
visited the different factories in the
United States for the purpose OF inspect
ing and acquiring all good points and
means of eliminating their bad points.
The result is that the motor testing
building is modern in every particular.
Visitors are impressed upon entering
this depa rtment with the large amount
of light. the general cleanliness of the
floor, and the alert activity of the men.
so that il is possible TO regard this de-
partfnent as a laboratory where the
design of the engineering department
and the practice of the shop come to-
gether for a test OF practical use.

HYMNS AND THEIR AUTHORS
LEAD KINDLY LIGHT.
By Cardinal John Henry Newman.

[John Henry Newman (London, Fei
81, 1801-Edgbaston. Aug II, 1890
we'll known as a writer and an eccesi
astic, has yet found far greater fame a
the author of this single hymn. He wa
educated at Ealing and at Trinity, OK
ford, and in 1924 was ordained to tn
ministry in the English church. Twenty
one years later, after a long period G
stress of mind and conflict with doubt, b
went inpo the church of Rome. A par
ticularly trying time Of religious perplexi
ty led to the writing of this hymn which
was first E published as poem, under tn
an experience it has become the hymn
not only of those who wander in relig
ious unrest, but of all who are in dark
ness of any kind. 1t is sung at by ia
general use after great disasters as /
the services following the Iroquois fir,
entities it to be known as our Nationa
Anthem of Consolation. Besides this. it
catholieity of spirit has caused it to b
sung in churches and gatherings of ever
sect under the sun. It is commonly sun
to the tune, Lux Benigna," by J. E
Dykes.l
Lead, kindly light! amid tn encirclint
gloom.
Lead thou me on;
The night is dark, and 1 am far from
home,
Lead thou me on;
Keep thou my feet; do not ask to SCI
The distant scene; one step enough fo
me.
1 was not ever thus, nor prayed tina
thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; bu
now
Lead thou me on;
I loved the garish day, and spite o
fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember no
past years.
So long thy power has blessed me, sur,
it still
Will lead me on

The night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces

WaSfefuI EcOnnmv.

The number of people is small, we
believe, who, knowing that through
their fault some mistake of an injuri-
GUS nature has been made, would want
only to attach the blame to innocent
parties. This is generally done
thoughtlessly and 1gnorantly, albeit in
good faith. The idea is to examine
ourselves and methods before condemn
ing another.
A patron of a Wisconsin creamery
recently sent in some vigorous pro-
tests against its products. It tran.
sptred that the creamery was not in
the wrong, except so far as the man.
agement put faith in a few of the pa.
irons of the creamery. Several OF
them had thoughtlessly turned their
herds into cabbage, rape and turnir
patches Immediately after the first
heavy frosts, and the milk thus tainted
was sent in, with the result of causing
1nferiority in the creamery's output
Aside from the fact that we should
not judge too hastily or be too ready
to charge moral turpitude, the discern
ing farmer will understand from the
case in point that feeding the stock
any old thing to prevent waste may
be the means Of producing greater de

Skim Milk.

At the West Virginia experiment
station it has been found that skim
milk for feeding laying hens is worth
from IL to cents a quart. Other
experiments have fully proved that it
mas equally as great value for feed
Ing pigs
Figuring at this rate, the milkman
who sells whole milk Is selling from
90 to 50 cents worth of skim milk to
zach can, and the general market
prices Of a can of milk is close around
A25 Now, this can of milk contains
enough cream to make four pounds
Of butter, which is worth about ST.,
leaving only about 25 cents for the
skim milk sold, or a loss of from 35
to So cents on each can over making
Inc cream into butter and feeding the
skim milk. Also, when the milk is
fed on the farm more fertilizer is
made, which makes the difference
still greater in favor of keeping and
teeding the skim milk.
Where Inc can secure select trade
Tor whole milk at extra price it will
pay to sell the whole milk and buy
extra feeds and fertilizers, but sell
ing whole milk at less than 81 for a
soquart can is not profitable when
one considers the future of the land
On which he is dairying.

New Corn Feeding.

Not all farmers appreciate the value
Of feeding new corn. When handled
properly more good results can be OBJ
alned from it than from any other
crop grown. When fed in the green
stage, from the time when grains are
IN the milk till they become hard and
Inc blades dry up, horses and cattle
Will eat almost, if not all, of the en-
IRE plant, and sheep and hogs will
eat much of it, utilizing to advantage
oil there is in the crop. New corn,
just after it has passed the roasting
ear stage, is one of the best feeds for
poultry, both young and old, and hens
VIII lay eggs much better than on old
C0Fh. There is no feed much better
'VE r2ttenlng horses and colts, as well
Is cattle, than new corn.
We always plant some very early,
medium and the patches of corn to be
.ul and led whole in late summer and

Dairying in Winter

There are many advantages in hay-
Ing COWS come fresh in winter, when
all dairy products sell at a high price.
IN many places the price of butter
IS from rs to SO per cent higher in
winter than in summer.
When the cows calve in the spring
tney generally milk we'll until the pas
lures dry up, when the flow of milk
quickly falls off, so that by the time
stable feeds begin the cows are almost
dried up. Now, if the cows come fresh
IN the fall, they produce a good flow
or milk during the winter months,
and in the spring, when they are
turned on the grass, this acts as a
second freshening and thus lengthens
the period of milk production.
Another distinct advantage in win,
ter da1ry1ng is that during this sea.

most important, since one acre of good

as three acres Of pasture.

This passage in the Book of Kings

indicate what ought to follow after
the great celebration.

ress and development. But is this
after all the matter of greatest impor.
lance? We have a great many things
that the men and women of 800 years
ago did not possess, but are we any
better men and women than they
were?
We live a great deal faster thar
they did; but do we lead any better
or more useful lives? We have made
a great many improvements in oul
manner Of living but have we made
any great improvement in our charac
tiers?
These are the questions we ought tc
be asking ourselves if we are to make
any comparison between ourselves
and the men and women of 800 years
ago, for spiritual and not material
| development is the real test of prog
| ress. What does it matter if we have
| bigger and better boats than Hudson
and Fulton ever dreamed of if we are
not better fitted to sail the seas OF
| eternity? What does it matter If sol
diers do march in splendid array
along the streets if they are not good
soldiers in the battle of life? What
does it matter if men do learn to fly
| in the air? Will they ever be able
with their airships and aeroplanes tt
| fly up to heaven? What does it mat
ter if we are richer than the mer
and women of long ago if we are moi
richer toward God?
All this modern material progress
is of very little value unless it helps
to make better men and women, I'm
less 1t enables and inspires us to live
larger and nobler lives, unless ID
brings us into closer fellowship with
God and makes us more worthy to en-

The young WOman's sense of dissat

Appalling Reck1essness.

The late Gen. William Malone, we'll
known as a Confederate officer, and
later as United States Senator( from
Virginia, was both remarkably short
of stature and remarkably slight-a
fact which gives point to story re-
lated by Gen. Adelbert r. Burlington,
formerly Chief Of Ordnance OF the
army, and now on the retired list,
which is printed in the Troy Press.
General Burlington was relating the
occurrence to some old comrades with
whom he was dining.
General Mahone," he said, was
very thin. One cold and windy De
cember morning in '64 he was taking
a nap in his tent when his old colored
servant, Uncle Davy,' tiptoed in, and,
stumbling in the darkness, knocked
down the generals folding cot and
spilled him out on the frozen ground.
General Malone jumped up furiously,
seized a scabbard and made for Davy.
"Davy ran. The general gave chase
Uncle Davy tore up hill pr | down
dale till he was pretty wei ut of
breath; then he looked back over his
shoulder at his master, who bounded
after him on slender legs, blue and
thin, his long, white nightshirt futter-
ing in the chill morning.

ly, 'yo' hain't trustin yosef in dig
