A START ON HAVING.
F" 10 We'll 70 Nave Everything In ordss
Before heaviest Work osuios.

some day. when you have an hour or
TWO TO spare. make an inspection of
every tool and piece Of machinery to be
used In the bayfield,. Jot down in a
notebook every item Of repairs needed
sickle sections, burs, bolts and all miss
ing parts Of machinery. The next time
you go TO town buy or order these re-
pairs. together with q good supply of
first class machine OIL. Poor oil is dear
at any price.
In fact. 1t is advisable to lay in a sup
ply OF extras, to provide for any accI-
dents that may occur in the field. This
is especially true of sickle sections
rake teeth. stacker ropes and pulleys
Stopping the team and sometimes tho
whole haying crew till you drive to
town for repairs incurs a great ex-
pense through loss Of time, besides
leaving the hay in the swath too long,
causing Overcuring or damage BY
soaking rain. And in order to further
minimize the time lost by repairing
breakage these repairs should be car
ried right along with the haying outfit
in the field
An important accessory to the outfit
is canvas stack cover to leave on the
open stack at night or when a shower
is approaching. This makes It unneces-
sary to work till dark to top out a
stack IL the weather is threatening and
insures fine grade Of hay. Where the
stack Is left open and uncovered, even
though the rain wet but short dis
tance down, the damp hay on the sur
face never will make ideal feed. The
cost of these covers prevents many
farmers from owning them, but one
should consider that. with proper care,
the canvas lasts for years and years
and will save enough in time, labor and
roughage to pay for itself manifold.
These supplies being provided for,
take a half day off and see that the ma
chinery is all in perfect running order,
or. better still some rainy day may be
thus utilized to good advantage. Re-
place all missing bolts. tighten every
nut, give the bearings and every oil
cup an oiling.-Farm and Fireside.

Don't ovsrfssd the Calf.

Calves overfed with skimmilk or
roughage have tendency to become
potbellied. Such oyerfeeding is not
advisable. Young calves should not
receive over ten or twelve pounds of
milk daily. and it is never advisable
to increase the milk ration to more
than twenty pounds daily at any period
in the calls life. By supplementing
the milk ration with ration of
cracked corn, whole oats and bran,
given in such amounts as will be read

the world all sorts and conditions of
men. The gospel net attracts n great
number who are drawn by various mo-

of helpfulness toward them. "At the

Verses 51-53.-The true scholar.
"Scribe" The antaeonism
shown by this class of men to Jesus
must not blind us to the important
work which they rendered in prcserv-
ing the text of the Scriptures. Jesus
recognized their services when he COM
pared his disciples to them. Just as
the scribes We're first learners before
they became teachers. so must the dis
ciples Of Jesus be instructed unto
"made disciple to the kingdom of
heaven" (revisiOm. "Thiprs
new and old" The scribes were retail
ers in the old. and their method Of
learning was defective. The true
scholar confesses ignorance. and he is
willing to learn from those who are
wiser than he. and he is never through
with learning. So he keeps an open
mind to new light. Jesus came not to
destroy, but to fulfill. He recognized
what was of value in the established
traditions. but he also saw consider
able merit in new truth and expressed
1t in the language OF the day The
thoughtful disciple of Jesus will appeal
both to those who love the old and to
those who incline toward the new.
These are days, of transition and
change, but not on that account are
they goddess days. One of the pressing
needs is to have leaders in the church
who will conserve the best that there
is of the old and also appreciate what
is new. 80 l31 Al

Verses 4446.-The highest good.
We must not interpret the parallels
in all their details. Jesus was keen
observer and graphic reporter. and
he spoke out Of rich experience of
life. His parallels are pictures of the
customs and conditions of the times,
but they were spoken to illustrate re-
ligion. We should therefore seek the
leading thought In each parable.
Treasure hid in field" 1t was a
common custom for people to bury
their wealth in those early days when
there were no banks or bonds or other
ways of making investments. 1t often
happened that the secret was kept so
well that in case of death or other
misfortune to the owner the place of
burial was lost. Hath found" This
was Il happy incident, and so delighted
was the peasant that he promptly took
measures and bought that field" in
which he had left the treasure as he

claim to the land. We are not con-
cerned with the honesty of the man.
but with his readiness to know n good
thing when he saw it and his willing
ness to secure it at any cost.
Seeking goodly pearls" This was
probably at the pearl fisheries, where
the best bargains could be made by
experts. lone pearl of great price"
The merchant was looking for the best
investments in his business, and when
he saw an unusual opportunity he
seized it without delay "Sold all that
he had" This was speculation. but
that is not the lesson of the parable.
1t is his readiness to venture all that
he might win what he realized was a
fortune.
Verses 47-50.-The right attitude.
We must take the world as We find it
and then endeavor to do our best to i'm

they have usually been held to be
