swept slopes; from bookless Kedron
and arid Hinnom, to the poverty and
sQualor OF her streets.
Viewed from afar, indeed, some re-
hinder of past dignity still clings
about her. High-perched upon her
zion-mount, surrounded by her crum-
bling. massive crenelated walls, en-
forced with bastion and many an
ancient tower. there is a martial, an
tque grandeur in her look, not out of
keeping with her early pride.
But once within the walls. the SPLEEN

heavy on the spirit. Close-crowded.

houses rise on either side of narrow,
nlthy streets, each with It's door re-
vealing want and wretchedness and
dirt. each with fiat roof and tiny
upola-monotonously similar, mo-
notonously mean. No pavements dig
nifty the streets. and through their
mire foot passengers. camels. mules
and horses jostle each other in close
and unsavory contact, while here and
there an overspanning arch shuts out
the strip of radiant sky that alone
makes 1t tolerable. Now and then, In

meets the eye-a convent or church,
mosque with dome and minaret, a
bit Of Roman ruin, or a glimpse of
picturesque and Oriental arahesque.
Yet little by little Jerusalem spells
out her message for you-from David's
tower. which Herod built where
lDavid's palace stood, and in whose
shadow Christ must once have rested:
from Omar's mosque that fills the
ancient temple site with barbaric
splendor: from the Wondering ruins
that mark the enclosure Of the
knights Of st. John; from Roman tow
er. from crescent and from cross, the
city speaks to us.
Her fates and her vicissitudes be-
long to those historic moods that
make the whole world kin. Since
David built her first. on Canaan's soil,
she has felt the ambitious pulse alike
OF Babylonian, Assyrian, Egyptian. Ro-
man. saracen and Turk. BY all alike
has she been coveted. and fought for
and possessed. She has seen mighty
empires rise and flourish and pass
into the misty limbo of forgotten
things. Aud from her own ashes and
the dust OF falling nations she arises,
and while they vanish she remains.

hates Of kings! What wonder that
the land is desolate, and that the city
sleeps In wretchedness, with but the
dreams of vanished splendor woven
for crown?

Too much emphasis cannot be laid
on good seed as an essential to sue

All clay lands need clover roots to
penetrate and loosen their compact
strata. and to supply vegetable mat

To prevent backaches Maine

Corn for the Calf.

+ Corn and corn meal are carbon.
aceous matter. similar in compost
ton to that of cream, and there is no
feed that a calf likes SO well as shelled
corn or corn meal.
Cream is worth 20 to 80 cents a
pound while corn is worth only about
cent pound, hence the economy of
Its use. If corn meal is fed with the
milk 1t should not be stirred much but
allowed to settle to the bottom of the
pail SO that it will have to be eaten
rather than swallowed with the milk.

Start before the pig is weaned. The
SOW should be fed well with well
soaked ground oats or slop made Of
shorts until the pigs are about eight
weeks old. By this time they have
learned to eat fairly we'll. 1t is we'll
to feed the pigs near the mother, but
she should not be allowed to eat with
them. The pigs should be fed slop
and corn. together with some other
succulent food; If in summer time
blue grass pasture is good. No more
feed should be put into the trough
than the pigs will eat. Just enough
to keep them growing rapidly is
enough.
