BIBLES FOR BUSINESS men.

The largest order ever given fol-
Bibles has just been placed with
the American Bible Society.
One hundred thousand Bibles are
to be furnished as soon as possible;
twenty-five thousand copies are to
reach San Francisco in time for the
triennial convention of the Interna-
tional Sunday School Association,
! in June.
In order to supply this demand,
the American Bible Society is work
ing its force of bookmakers on dou-
BILE time. W. E. Henderson, Sec
retary of the Gideons, the organiza-
tion of Christian travelling men,
which is distributing these Bibles,
says that a procession of members,
bearing Bibles, will march through
the streets of San Francisco during
the convention.
Each Bible will contain these
lines, pasted on the fyleaf:
eff lonesome or blue, and friends
untrue, read Psalms IL and 27;
Luke Is.
eff trade is poor, read Psalm 81;
John Is.
eff discouraged or in trouble,
read Psalm 1876; John ID.
eff you are all out of sorts, read
Hebrews II.
IF you are losing confidence in
men, read First Corinthians 13.
eff skeptical, read John 6, 49,; 7,
II; Phil. 2, GIL.
"If you can't have your own
way, read James 3.
eff tired of sin, read Luke Is,
36-43; IS, Ola; John 9.
eff very prosperous, read l Cor.
10, II, 13.
Happy conclusions, Psalm 121 !;
Matt. 6, 33: Rom. 12."
As result of the meeting of two
commercial travellers in a Chicago
hotel few years ago, the Christian
Commercial Travellers Association
was formed. Fifty thousand BIZ
bles are distributed free each year
among the hotels of the country by
workers connected with this Asso-
citation.

Dairy Doings.

Sameness in feed is no more con-
ducive to appetite in the cow than In
the human. and appetite is essential
to big production.
Treat your calves with considera-
ton. They should have grazing, plen-
ty of water and enough skimmilk and
grain to form balanced ration.
Kicking is very frequently caused by
sore teats. intiamed udders, long finger
nails and possibly at times by the gen.
eral awkwurdness Of the mixer.
The dairy barnyard should have
good slope, such as will insure good
surface drainage. and should have a
coed top layer of gravel or cinders.
When buying COWS for the dairy Sc
lect those having every indication OF
being milk producers. but determine
this positively by the use OF tie Bah
cock test and the scale.
1t is not the way the cream is sepa-
rated from milk. but the way it Is
handled after being separated, which
determines the quality of butter it will
:aake. If kept until it ferments it will
make Door butter.

WAS THAT You?

They tell a story of a man who
sat right still when a COW gave him
a blow square in the face with her
tail, which was wet from dragging
through the dew. Everybody ex-
pected he would scare the COW half
to death whenhe shouted "So-o-o!'
to her. But he didn't do anything
of the kind.
That same man, so they say,
called the COWS from the pasture to
be u.ilked, and when they didn't
come he climbed the hill half a
mile and brought them down with
out throwing a stone at them or
saying single thing he would be
sorry for afterward. He just said,
"Next time III call them with a
little meal in the manger.
Here is another thing about that
man: His COWS did not test quite
so high as they should when he got
the returns from the creamery. He
simply said, "We've got to have
some better cows!" Almost any
other fellow would have said, "The
fellow who did that testing was a
rascal. My COWS test more than
that, and l know it!'
But the best thing they tell about
that man is that the other day a
big cow in brushing off fly acci-
IDENTIFY stepped her foot into pail
full of milk. Now, there was a
chance for trouble, surely! Once
that man might have yelled so that
the neighbors could have heard
him, but he had learned better. He
just lifted the foot out carefully,
got clean pail and went on.
Was that man you?

spond with the rows Of squares across
the tray. These rows of ears should
be kept in dry. warm place on the
floor, on corn racks or on shelves,
where it can be certain that they will
not be disturbed or displaced until the
test is finished.
When ready to begin the test, two
children can work to the best advan-
tage. one to handle the individual ears
and the other to plant the tray. The
first takes up ear No. 1 in the first
row and, with the point of a pocket
knife applied to the edge of a kernel,
removes five kernels from each ear,
passes them to the second pupil and
carefully replaces the ear in its row.
The kernels should be taken In sue

it sometimes happens that one side or
one end Of an ear is sound. while the
others will not grow. The illustration
shows few ears with kernels remev-

MAUD SETS A HEN.

Maud Muller on a summers day
Set hen in a brand-neW way.
MAUD, you see, was a city girl,
Trying the rural life a whirl.)
She covered a box with tinsel gay,
Lined it tsnugly with new-mown hay
Filled it nicely with eggs, and then
Started to look for a likely hen.
Out of the flock selected one,
And then she thought that heI
work was done.
1t would have been, but this stub
born hen
Stood up and cackled "Ka-doot!''
and then
Maud Muller came, and in hurt
surprise
Looked colby into the creature
eyes;
Then tied its legs to the box. "You
bet
I know how to make you set."
But still it stood, and worse anc
worse
Shrieked forth it's wrongs to the uni.
verse.
Kicked over the box with its tinse
gay,
And ANONYMOUSLY tapped away.
Then a bad boy, over the barnyarc
fence,
Tee-heed: "Say, Maud, there's q
difference
Tween hens, you KNOW, ana IL Is
that
One says 'Ka-dootH and one 'Ka'
datn "
Then Maud recalled that the ugly
brute
She tried to set had said "Ka-doot!
And ever since that historic day
She bushes in an embarrassed way
To think of the hobble she made
once when
She tried to set a gentleman hen.

Seed corn testing as school exer-
Use, especially In the rural districts, Is
recommended In bulletin issued by
the United States department of agri-
culture for the following reasons:
First. 1t furnishes an easy and inter-
esting study in seed termination and
plant growth; second. the extended
use of a good method has vast eco
homie value in improving the produc-
tiveness of American agriculture, and,
third, the teaching Of 1t in the rural
school eyerts strong influence to-

ents in the permanent worth Of good
school work.
The only materials needed are
shallow wooden tray, small handful
Of carpet tacks, few yards of wrap
ping twine. sand enough to fill the
tray and three or four quarts of wa
ter. The tray Tor several of them) can
easily be sawed from an empty soap
or cracker box. When finished 1t
should be about one and one-half inch
es deep inside, fifteen inches wide and
twenty-three inches long, but any Of
these dimensions may be varied slight
ly. This tray is divided into small
squares by a checkerboard lac1ng OF
twine across the top. 1t is convenient
to have these squares about one and
one-half inches on a side. ten Of them
In a row across the narrow way OF the

HEALTH Proverbs
TELL PLAIN TRUTH

For the purpose of keeping be-
fore every family a daily reminder
of the way to prevent diseases, the
State Health Department has issu-
ed "Virginia Health Almanac. "
1t is entirely unique in it's make
up. Under the usual heading of
important days. may be found a
list of events in the world of medi-
cine and surgery and chemistry,
with the days of the birth and
death of many men who have dis
tinguished themselves in these
lines.
For each month their is a little
dissertation on the disease which
may be generally expected at that
season, with some very plain-spo-
ken comments on prevention.
But the most striking feature,
perhaps, is a collection of what
might be called health proverbs, at
the bottom of each page. They in
no case mince words, and some of
the assertions are little short of
startling. Yet, the preface says,
the volume contains "only the
known and tested facts of sanitary
science. There is no speculation,
no therorizing. Any man can ac-
cept as tried and proven every as
sertion made here regarding dis
ease."
Among these proverbs are the
following:
THE man who says he had rath-
er have smallpox than be vaccinat-
ed, never had the smallpox,
"An open window is better than
an open grave"
"Warm rooms have killed more
people than ever froze to death"
eff you let the child have measles
when it is young, you may save a
doctors bill later on, but you may
have to pay the undertaken now"
"a good iron pump costs less
than a case of typhoid" ;"
eff your milkman brings you
warm milk, make it hot for him."
"Wire screens in the windows
may keep crepe from the door"
"a fly in the milk often means a
member of the family in the grave"
eff some people were as much
afraid of flies as they are of bad wa
ter, there would be less typhoid.
when you see a child looking
like an angel, do not kiss it; you
might make real angel out of it,"
"Scarlatina may not sound so
dangerous as scarlet fever, but ask
the undertaken" :"

TEST FOR EDUCATION.

One of the Professors at the Uni
versity of Chicago says that a man
is truly educated if he can answer
''yes" to all the following ques
tons:
Has education given you sympa-
thy with all good causes and made
you espouse them?
Has it made you public-spirited?
Has it made you brother to the
weak?
Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them?
Do you know what it is to be a
friend to yourself?
Can you look an honest man or a
pure woman straight in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in a
little child? -
Can you be high-minded and
happy in the meanest drudgeries of
life?
Do you think washing dishes and
hoeing corn just as compatible with
high thinking as piano playing
golf?
Are you good for anything to
yourself?
Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out on the world
and see anything except dollars and
cents?
Can you look into a mud puddle
by the wayside and see the clear
sky?
Can you see anything in the pud-
die but mud?
Can you look into the sky at
night and see behind the skies?

HORSE TALK
BY TIM

IlURSE iALh
BY TIM
The fact has developed during
the past summer that most people
are looking for long-tailed driving
horses.
Good-gaited, good looking horses
of the right type are very hard tc
find and do not 60 begging when
found.
Don't forget that there are days
when your horse is out of sorts just
as you are.
Be considerate in your treatment
of him, and give him chance.
The sucking colt needs water
Don't forget it.
As weaving time approaches, see
to it that the young colt is taught
to eat grain, first with its dam and
then in a little manger by itself.
1t is serious loss to let a colt
run down at weaving time.
Some horses never seem to know
how to back. That shows the lack
of early education. Begin early
and stick to it.
The hay ration should never be
increased with increased labor; on
ly the grain.
With hard road-work hay should
be fed sparingly.
Too much hay bloats a horse;
crowds his lungs, makes his wind
short, and may produce heaves.
Do not feed corn ut all to road
horses, and carefully to work horses
If a horse is very tired from a
hard drive or heavy work, rub him
all over and let him rest an hour
before feeding.
Water often, few swallows at a
time, when horse is tired.
Too many horses have sore shoul-
ders just because their owners fit
the horse to the collar and not the
collar to the horse.
A good way to cure a skittish h
horse is to take off the binders.
There should be as much care
taken in shoeing farm horses us
race horses.
1t is cruel to tack on any old
shoe, in any old way, and expect
hard and constant work.
The feet should be perfectly lev
eled and the calks short and even
The shoes should be reset every
four to six weeks.
Keep the feet soft and growing.
Both the road and work horses
should be treated to q foot-bath
daily.
Simply plunging each foot into q
pail of water will do wonders in
keeping the feet moist and in q
growing condition.
When you find out that one of
your horses frets working double,
better exchange him for one that is
not so disturbed, or else keep him
for a single driver.
1t makes some horses ugly to
work them with horses that do not
travel up with them. Match them
as to gait as we'll as to other things,
Good feed will put life into a
horse a hundred times better than
an eight-foot whip.
To develop a colt properly never
allow him to lose his colt fat.
1t costs, sometimes, to keep him
growing, but it is more expensive
not to do it. Better feed a little
extra as the grass in the fields gets
short. Green rye, oats, sweet corn
are all good to keep the colt NOV
ing in the right direction.
For a halter-puller double a half,
hitch rope, put the loop under the
tail like a crupper. Bring the rope
along the back and on each side oi
the neck and through the halter
ring, but not fastened to it. Tie to
a strong ring. When the horse
pulls he will get a big surprise.
