A POOR KIND OF FARMING.
BY s. NJ. Miller.

In March drove ten miles to a big
sale in another part of the county and
on the way I counted five owe one
new reaper, and six ploWS standing in
the fields or alongside barns without
shelter. III one ~barnyard which con-
fined about 20 Holstein cows q good
reaper stood at one side Of the barn.
Part of it was under the caves from
which had dripped rain and snow and
formed en- ice ridge six inches thick.
A big Plymouth Rock rooster stood
proudly on one Of the blades of the
machine and there was evid ence that
his was the favorite roosung place
Of the flock.
In one field a breaking plow had
been left standing at the end of a fur
row il q corner Of the field and tho
snow covered the beam. One handle
reaper and mower were sold. The
reaper was in a leaky shed but tho,
mower stood in a corner of an aifalta
field. The reaper brought Sl4 and
the mower 50. Both were new two
wears ago. I bought a likely lookinsl
Jersey heifer but when I got her homo

Perhaps he was right but it seemed
to me that if he had farmed his 40
acres right up to the handle in every
way he would have been better of

pense Of moving and e~auippin5 his

Very beautiful and very eneourag-

we be followers Of God as dear chill
dren." It IS because He loves us that
It is possible for us to follow Him.
He tells us His will in our hearts by
His Spirit, He lifts us up and en-
courages us when we stumble, gives
us light In darkness, courage In the
midst of perils, and strength to over
come obstacles. We are His little
children. We walk with wagering
steps. We cannot fly like His swift

that we are doing our best to follow.

considered large. The $1,000 fee when

$4,000 year. Larger fees are some
times given. The man of wealth, ,ac-

more to her intellectual than to her

world of tact. So skillfully did she

actually to turn him against some of
the most trusted of his own officials.
Once an order was made out for her
arrest ON charge Of heresy, but she
got news of the matter and so clev-

to effect complete reconciliation, and
when the officers came to serve the
order he drove them out with curses

was his revenge, to set the name Of
