the moan of his penitence, the pathos
of his sorrow, the triumph of his vic
tory, the despair of his defeat, the
firmness of his confidence, and the
rapture of his assured hope" In these
psalms many travellers of every age
and cline have found rivers of re-
freshment and wells of consolation.
Here God opens the door, shows US
his secret dwelling place, and tells us
how we may get close to him in fell
lowship. Here he speaks to US; but
more, here we speak, telling our own
experiences and anon crying to God;
we have written many of the psalms
out of the experiences of our own
lives
This first psalm Is regarded as a
sort of preface to the entire collection,
specially 1t is picture of the pros
porous life, and by sharp contrast a
picture of the life without God in it.
There Is really only one life worth
considering or cultivating; that is the
life hid with Christ in God, and it
should be our utmost concern to make
that life blessed Consider the ele-
ments of such a life as set forth in
the entire psalm.
Refusal.
The prosperous life is sheltered be-
hind wall. Verses 1-3 set forth the
great character, and it is marked by
great refusal l. Evil practice
walketh not in the counsel of the un-
cody; q Evil habit--nor standeth in
the way Of sinners; 3. Evil charac-
ter-nor stitch in the seat of the
scornful. The prosperous life must
not think wrongly, nor speak wrongly.
If God is not in all your thoughts,
loose thinking soon will lead to loose
living, and things that would eat away
the fiber of will and conscience and
feeling OH the blessedness-the
happiness-of the man who can say,
will not deffle myself; who will not
take these three downward steps in
the evolution of sin; and God pity
the man who has taken the third de
gree in sin.
But refusal of evil thought, practice,
and habit is not enough. One does
not acquire physical health, vigor and
power simply by refusal to eat poi
sonous foods or drink damaging liq
uors. The physical life requires food

wire from eighteen to twenty-four
inches high, and tack it to these pieces

such a corner, an animal is pgetty apt
to quiet right down and allow one
to capture it, where. if it were an or

TIMELY NOTES OF sHEEPFoLD
Patience, Tact and Perseverance Are
Among Essentials In Making Sue
cess With Sheep Flock.

No use to go into sheep-raising un-
less you have patience, tact and great
PERSEVERANCE,.
In selecting sheep pasture, avoid
low, damp ground, because sheep will
not thrive on it.
Soil underlaid with limestone or dry
Sandstone makes the best sheep
ground.
Old meadows with a variety OF
grasses are much better for the sheep
than artificial meadows which are FREE
quently changed.
Sheep are probably more delicate
and more easily affected by climatic
changes than any other farm animal.
The wise shepherd does not wait I'M
til his whole flock is affected before he
begins to attempt cure, but takes
every precaution to prevent the dis
ease getting a foothold.
No use trying to make profit out of
sheep on very high priced land.
Rough, billy land that hold grasses,
makes; the best sheep pastures.
During the hot summer months,
sheep often suffer from the want OF
clear, cold water. This should always
be supplied.
Marsh water will sooner or later
cause disease in the flock. It general
ly abounds in parasites.
To stuff the flock one week, starve
it the next, is sure way to produce
very bad effects.
Men to whom all sheep look alike
will never succeed in the business.
Every successful fockmaster viii
know each individual animal and learr
something of its peculiarities.
Sow plenty Of turnips for the sheeI
this fall One hundred head will con
sumo an acre OF turnips In about tel
days.
/ Some farmers allow their sheep tt
harvest the turnips, but this Is poo
economy. Better pull them and stor,
them in the cellars and pits and fee,
as needed.
Sheep thrive in the air and SUNSHINE
and quickly pine and fall away whel
| deprived Of these essential elements.
1t is a great mistake to overlook
pasture as the sheep will lose the lai
ter part of the summer all they hav
gained while pasture was good.
Better keep the ram in the paddoc
by himself out of sight of the ewes i
the daytime, turning the ewes into tn
rams paddock at night.

Hens DURING MoxInn.

Hens cannot lay and grow feathers
at the same time. 1t has been said
by some writer's that their hens laid
righs through the melting season.
This is not so. A hen can lay while
she is shedding her coat, but when the
work of growing the new feathers
fully starts it requires all the food and
strength to properly perform that
function.
