BALANCED RATION FOR EGG PRO-
DUCTION.

A good balanced ration for laying
hens can be made as follows: Kaffir
corn, 100 pounds; meat scrap or
ground cut bone, 10 pounds; alfalfa
leaves or alfalfa meal, 10 pounds; oats,
10 pounds; gluten meal or oil cake
meal. five pounds. The idea is to use
kaftlr corn in place of wheat and In
dian corn, presuming that Kaf1r corn
is more plentiful anG cheaper than
wheat or corn. Where the latter is as
easily and as cheaply procured as KAT
FIR corn, we would feed equal portions
OF the three grains rather than all
kafiir corn. A very advantageous way
OF feeding Kafir corn to chickens is to
cut off the heads Of corn and feed it to
them in this manner. It will do them
good in exercising while picking off
tn. grain.-Kansas Farmer.

ExPOSlTION.-l. The Baptism OF
Jesus. Mark /: Oil. Jesus himself,
the baptizer with the Holy Ghost and
fire." comes to John to be baptized
with water. Could anything make
more plain the great importance OF
water baptism? Matt. 3: 15). God
commands water baptism as a form
by which sinful man shall publicly
confess that he Is sinner, but now re-
nounces sin; Jesus was not a sinner,
but he took the sinners place. (Ro.
8: 8; Cor. s: 21, r. w.. When he
had thus humbled himself God gave
him the twofold testimony, the visi-
BILE dove and the audible voice comp.
Phil. 6: s, 9; Luke, 8: 31-35). The
dove was not sign to himself alone,
but to John as we'll (Jno. /: 33). 1t
was his own baptism with the Holy
Spirit comp. Luke 3: Fl, 20 with 4:
l, IA, Is and Acts 10: 3S), and indi-
Gated him as the one who should bap-
tie others with the Holy Spirit (Jno.
/: 80; 3: "a, r. W. The silence OF
ages was broken. God was we'll
pleased that one was found At and
willing to take mans place. He spoke
aloud from the open heavens. He
proclaimed Jesus my son, the be-
loved one" and he proclaimed his de-
light In him.

baptism with the Holy Spirit by the
repeated temptations Of 1.-The lust OF
the flesh" 1.-The vain-glory of life" and
the lust of the eyes" comp. Jno.
2: 16 r. W. Note we'll that 1t was
the spirit who led Jesus into the
wilderness to be tempted by the devil
(cf Mark /: 12). The temptation was
a necessary preparation for Christ's
work, just as necessary as the baptism
with the Holy Spirit (Heb. 2: II, IL;
4: Is, 16). Note that Jesus tempta-
ton was by the devil. 1t came from
without, not within. The personality
of the devil is clearly taught here.
Also his cunning malignity and de-
feat. The reality and completeness OF
Jesus human nature are plainly seen,
not only in that he was tempted, but
in his hunger and the way in which
the temptations were met and con-
quered. The preceding chapter has
closed with a remarkable testimony to
his divinity, this opens with an equal
ly remarkable setting forth OF his true
humanity The temptation covered
the entire forty days duke 4: l. -,

ELEcTRICALLY-cURED MEAT.

Some time ago we described in these
columns an electrical method of cur
ing hams, which was discovered by a
Cincinnati packer. He found that by
introducing an alternating current
through the picking brine the hams
could be cured in from thirty to thir-
ty-five days, as against 80 to 100 of
the ordinary method. A large plant in
Cleveland, Ohio, is now curing meat
by this process. Ten 5,O0O-pound watts
are in service. The current is fur
nished by 100-kilowatt generating
plant. The plant generates direct cur
rent for use in various capacities, and
portion of it Is converted into alter
mating current by means of a rotary
converter, to provide the energy used
in the curing watts.
