AT Christmas time We celebrate the
birthday Of our King. The wise men
came from the far east, attracted by
the light of the star, to find and wor-
hip the King. This blessed day is
ilghted by a star that ought to at
tract our attention and lead us in the
same direction and to the same end.
lnls time of music and glad festivities
mould lay especial emphasis on the
klnship of Jesus of Nazareth. 1t is
cur privilege to see, in the Babe of
bethlehem. the King Of kings and
LORD OF lords. That vision should be
more clear to US than to the wise
men OF old. They had none of the
helps that quicken our eyesight. We
may remember the life he lived, the
work he did, the sacrifice he made,
n the influence he has exerted and
is exerting to this very hour.
Never man spake like this man"
concerning God, man, sin, life, death,
truth. immortality. and the FAST for
ever" He has drawn the intellect Of
the world to himself.
His ideals have inspired civilizations
and turned the currents of history into
new channels. He has compelled the
world to accept his ideas of greatness
and the value of human life. He has
drawn the art Of the world to him
self, for the greatest paintings of the
ages reflect his glory. He has drawn
the music of the world to himself, for
the mighty masterpieces of this realm
tell the story Of his work and in
fuence. He has drawn the thought
OF the world to himself, for there
never was n about whom SO many
books have been written. His life
and words have been the inspiration Of
the modern altruism that is doing so
much to lift humanity to higher and
better levels. He Is rapidly draw
ing the heart of the world to himself
is drawing the lives of men to
himself.
He shall reign, king Of kings and
Lord of lords" Because he humbled
himself and made himself of no repu.
tation, and took on him the form Of a
servant, and became obedient unto
death, wen the death OF the cross.
therefore God hath highly exalted him
and given him a name that is above
every name. If we will not crown him
Lord of all in our hearts here. we
shall yet be called upon to crown him
King Of eternity. Let us crown the
Christ Child our King in the here and
now.

Keeping Christmas Joy

Christmas is a day Of Joy, but JOY
should not be allowed to die out of our
lives next morning. 1t should stay
with us ever after. We should sing
the Christmas songs all the new year.
We should carry the peace of God in
our hearts continually hereafter. We
should learn from this time to find the
beauty and the good will in all things,
and to show the world that we believe
what we say We believe-that since
God loves us, and Jesus Christ is our
friend, "all's we'll with the world"
They who receive and tell of Gods
~unspeakable gift Of Christ as a Re.
deemer may carry the gladdest sort of
Christmas around with them all the
year in their hearts.

DAIRY NOTES.

COWS that give the richest milk are
more apt to produce offspring that
will do the same.
For his own good the farmer should
be sure his herd, whether beef or
aa1ry, is free from tuberculosis.
Immediately after separation the
cream should be cooled to the tenn
perature of the water direct from the
we'll.
If in any milking a part of tho milk
is bloody or stringy or unnatural in
appearance, the whole mess should be
rejected
Separators have become commonly
known through the use of power ma
chimes at creameries and separating
stations.
A COW that gives rich milk and is
kept in good condition will produce a
butter that does not need coloring
matter at ALL
II after churning the butter is not
firm try leaving it in the buttermilk a
few hours. This often makes a won.
derful change.
The breeder of Shorthorns to pro-
duce mixers must actually engage in

handling OF his cows are concerned.

COW is supposed and expected to do a

Stunning the same ration.
Milk quietly, quickly, clearly and
thoroughly. Cows do not like unneces-
sary noise or delay. Commence milk
ing at exactly the same hour every
morning and evening, and milk the
cows in the same order.
The dual-purpose COW will produce
only about one dollars worth of milk
for one dollars worth Of feed. The
successful dairyman must have the
cow that is especially built for the
production of milk; the COW that will
produce two dollars worth of milk for
one dollars worth of feed

For feeding purposes he did not use
brewers grains, as he thought they
had prejudicial effect on the, milk,
but oil cake, with a fodder made by
chatting straw and hay
A quantity of the natter was placed
in rack just above each COW, so that
she could nibble at it If not satisfied
by her ordinary meal, and what re.
manned in the rack was turned into
fodder.
The place bears all the outward
signs of prosperity. The buildings are
by no means new, but they are kept
in state of sanitary cleanliness! At
terticn was given to the admission of
plen;' Vi fresh air, without draughts,
and the farmer held that to keep q
COW in health a certain amount of
light is necessary for the winter
months.
All liquid sewage was carried off by
means of a drain: The dairy itself
was model of spotless cleanliness.
This, of course, was = virtue in itself,
but the farmer explained that he did
not expect it to be its own reward.
He had made a good circle of custom
ers and was in the habit of charging
them somewhat more than market
prices for butter; In return, he In.
sured that it would be of the very best
quality, and of course made under con.
ditions of the utmost cleanliness.

DAIRY HERD IN THE WINTER
Close Study Of Individual Cow 10 Nee
~ ossary If Results Are to BE
.. Profitable.
, (BY w. r. GILBERT.)

(BY w. R. CELEBRITY -
Not long ago was looking at .
herd of cattle used for the production
Of milk and butter in winter. 1t has
the merit, at all events, of yielding
. handsome profit to the owner, and
differs in this way from many similar
herds.
1t was the more interesting, there
fore, to look over the arrangement OF
herd by which this feat is accom-.
plished. There was, as the owner
smilingly said, no secret to disclose.
He is man who lives on the prod
uce of his herd, and has made butter
a much greater factor in his prosper
ity than is the case with his neigh
bors. What he insisted upon as re-
CARDS feeding might be comprised In
two parts.
The first was that which may be de-
scribed as individuality; in other
words he paid no regard to the ''ra-
tons" which many textbooks give for
the COW.
There was no such thing, he said, as
the average cow" Some eat more
and some eat less, nor did their eat.
ing bear any proportion that he could
fiend out to the amount of milk they
yielded.
1t necessitated the employment of q
man who knew the idiosyncrsies OF
each cow and gave her what he knew
she should take, and nothing more.

Keen the Cow Clean.

A COW should be kept as clean or
cleaner than an Individual by being
thoroughly bathed at least once or
twice a week. Only the purest water
should be given to her, for if allowed
to drink from the impure stream Of
the pasture or from pools of water
she may in this way infect the milk
and thus carry the germs Of disease.
The attendant should not only be a
healthy individual. free from disease
of nose and throat, but should wear q
white suit and should have hands
thoroughly washed before milking, the
udder of the COW should at every
milking be thoroughly washed and all
vessels intended to receive the milk
should be thoroughly secured. The
stall where the COW Is to be MIXED
should be of cement finish and thor.
oughly cleaned before the milking
process begins. After the milk Is
drawn is should Immediately be put
upon ice and the utensils kept ope,,
to prevent the development OF tyro-
toxicon. aa
