WASTE TURNED INTO PROFIT
Skim Milk When Fed Alone OF, Little
Value, But Given With Corn In
creases Hogs Weight.
(Ry II. r FLINTl


Sweet milk, skim milk, sour skim
milk and buttermilk are Of practically
equal value when fed in the proper
ton of two and one-half to three
pounds of milk to one pound of shelled
corn. A bushel of shell corn when
fed with water produced an average
of 11.9 pounds of pork, but when fed
with 153 pounds of milk the average
weight of pork produced in the same
length of time was III pounds. While
this is no indication Of the value Of
milk when fed alone, it seems to show
that when fed with shelled corn, 153
pounds of skim milk of little or no
market value on the average farm,
produced 5.S pounds of pork worth
about 40 cents at last years prices.
In many factories the secret Of sue
cess has been found in the discovery
and application of some method Of
turning former waste into profitable
by-product. The same principles can
well be applied to the farm and farm

Possibly the number Of wild arc.
matte plants which are used in the
manufacture of volatile oils exceeds
that of those which are at present Gull
tivated. The extent of the production
of the oils, is much less, chiefly be-
cause Of the more or less scattered
condition of these plants, and there
fore the difficulty of gathering them
in large quantities. Usually these
wild aromatic plants are distributed
over wide areas confused largely with
other volatile or nonvolatile species,
thus causing the rapid collection of
the plants to be seriously hindered.
A specific example of an important
uncultiyated plant which yields a
volatile oil of considerable value is
the sassafras tree. Sassafras oil was

What Gods Love Does.

Gods love connects His power with
our need. Without His love, His ON
impotence and His omniscience would
be of little value to u.s. 1t is because
His power is used in our behalf that
we are blessed by it. And it is Gods
love that puts His power at our dis
posal. So of His infinite knowledge:
1t is His love that brings this also into
our life. Do we realize that the love
of GOO, in offering up His only Son
Jesus Christ for our sakes, literally
made God, with all His resources, the
servant of men? A servant is one
who ministers; and "the Son of man
came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister" Moreover, not only are
Gods power and knowledge infinite,
but His love also is perfect. By an
unfailing, unbreakable link all that
God is and has is ours-if we are
Christ's. His inexhaustible resources
are deliberately used by Him for our
best interests all the time. Why,
then, if we have accepted God in
Christ as our Saviour, Master, and
Life, should we ever fear or be anx-
ious?

because there is such thing as the
form Of goodness without its power"
The thought of this text is addressed
to young man who was already a
Christian; who had already believed
on the Lord Jesus Christ, and had
been regenerated by his Holy Spirit:
and that to which he is urged is SIM
ply to conform his daily life more to
the gospel he had thus embraced. To
practice godliness, therefore, one must
first be godly, and to be cody In the
Bible meaning of that term, involves
clean heart and right spirit which
God bestows on them who accept him
and confess his Son. HE that hath
the Son hath life and he that hath
not the Son of God, hath not life"
Il Jno. V. 12). The first principle of
godliness is obedience to God, and the
first principle of that obedience is
submission to the yoke of Christ.

CULTURE OF THE BURBERRY
Much Land in United States Suited for
Nothing Else-BerrIes Stand
Shipment Well.
By r. 6. wEArHERsroNE.)

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE)
Blueberries thrive in acid soils and
there is a large amount of naturally
acids lands in the east United States
that are fit for nothing else on which
blueberries could be raised proftably.
There are two methods of propa-
eating the BURBERRY plant The first,
which Is suited to upland soils, is to
set the plants in trenches or separate
holes in wellrotted peat about foot
deep and mulch the surface well with
leaves or clean sand.
Give plenty of room for the roots.
The soil should afford good drainage
as the ideal condition OF the peat
about the roots is one of continued
moisture during the growing season.
The second method of field culture
is to set the plants in peat bog after
it has been drained, turfed and deeply
mulched with sand just as for cram
berry culture, except that no provision
need be made for rapid flooding of the
bog for winter. The ground water of
the bog might be kept little lower
than is usual with cranberries.
There is great difference between
the genuine BURBERRY and its counter
feit-the huckleberry. The BURBERRY
is plump, large and its seeds are SO
small as to be almost. unnoticed. The
huckleberry's seed is surrounded with
bony covering like minute peat
pit which crackles between the teeth.
The blueberries stand shipment
we'll and if growers will take pains to
insist that their product be not con-
fused with huckleberries and sold at
the same price they will be better off.

yania, and even as far north as New
York and the New England states. It
Is quite abundant in the south-central
states. especially Kentucky, Tennessee
and Arkansas. The production Of this
oil attained commercial significance
early in the last century, and it Is dis
titled extensively at present in Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Virginia, also to less ex-
tent in Ohio, Indiana and New York.
Although the distillation of this
very fragrant oil, which is obtained
principally from the bark of the root
of the tree, has assumed strong com
mercial aspect, the tree has not been
grown, strictly speaking, for oil pur-
poses.
Sassafras bark is used for it's tonic
properties. 1t forms a popular do

spring market women and men dis
play their bundles of sassafras on their

remedy.
