WATER REQUIRED FOR SHEEP
Animals With BountifuI Supply Pro-
duce More Mutton Than Those
That Are Deprived of It.

Experiments carried on with cattle
showed that cattle given plenty of
water with their pasture contained
more moisture and less dry matter
than did the carcasses of cattle given
pasture but no additional moisture.
1t is generally accepted principle of
feeding that it costs more and more
to produce meat as the moisture de-
creases and the dry matter increases.
From this we are able to deduce the
fact that it costs less to grow the
steers that had plenty of water, and
SO made watery carcasses, than it did
to grow the steers that had no water
other than that in their food and re-
produced dry carcass.
What is true in the case of steers
would hold equally true in the case
of sheep. Sheep given plenty of water
will produce mutton more cheaply
than will those deprived of it. Muscle
expansion will be more active in the
one case than in the other, and that
is another reason why mutton pro-
duction would be cheaper.
There is considerable water in any
of the pasture crops that sheep eat,
and they get still more moisture from
the dew that collects on the grass
blades in early morning and late eve
ming; but from these two sources,
while it gets enough water to keep it
alive, a sheep still does not get
enough water to keep it in the very
best growing condition nor to keep
all its bodily processes going on in
the most effective manner possible.
There is not an organ in the body
that can function properly without
water to aid ii. Being one of the
chief constituents of blood, water is
carried to every part of the system,
and not alone helps it in getting its
nourishment, but also in Kidding it of
its impurities. 1t is obvious that a
large amount of water must be neces-
sary to keep the sheep doing well.
Enough is not gotten with the food
even in summer, and this amount
should be supplemented by all that
the sheep will drink when given con-
slant access to it.

Not Our Own.

There must be something sad and
solemn in partings. They remind US
that there is nothing in this world
which we can call our own; that all
which God gives us is his, not ours;
lent, not given. At the best, we, like
our fathers, are only dwellers IN
tents. Here and thereby some sweet
we'll under some spreading tree. on
some green spot-we linger for a
time : but the evening comes at last.
the stars come out, the encampment
is broken up, and we must move
away. And very soon we shall have
made our last stay of all; the sky will
flush with the crimson of its last sun
set. the last long shadows of the twi-
light will lengthen round us; the last
farewell will be sighed forth from
weary lips. After that our tent will
be moved no longer; for then we hope
that it will be pitched. for the last
time under the walls of the heavenly
CITY. and the sun shall go down on us

Vat for Dipping Hogs.

provided the sleeping quarters are
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
In dipping to kill lice.. the coal-tar
dips of the creoline type are better
than lime and sulphur. If the hog
wallows are kept we'll filled with wa
ter, to which some of the creoline
dips are added every ten days, the
swine will usually free themselves
from the lice. Another good way of
combating the parasites is to tie
gunnysacks or other coarse cloths
around rubbing posts and keep these
cloths saturated with crude petrole-
um.
There are many coal-tar dips on
the market. They are made from the
products of the distillation of coal tar
and have a variety of trade names.
Creoline is one of these preparations.
They are all dark-colored liquids
with a strong coal-tar odor and when
mixed with water form a milky white
or slightly brownish emulsion. We
have tried several kinds with ex-
cellent results. Practically all drug

advise using dip made by a we'll
known and reliable firm. These dips
should be used at the strength of
one part of the dip to forty or fifty
parts of water. If rain water is OBJ
tainable it is preferred to hard" wa
ter. These dips should be used warm.
There should be a dipping vat on
every hog farm. They may be made
of wood, galvanized iron or cement
They. are set in the ground at a con-
venient place so that there is good
surface drainage away from the vat
A good size for a large vat is ten feet
long on top. eight feet long on the bot
tom, and two feet wide on top. The
end where the hogs enter should be
perpendicular and the other end in
clined, with cleats, SO that the hogs
can emerge after swimming through.
The entrance should be by a slide.
Such tank is very useful wherever
hogs are kept in numbers, as frequent
| dipping tends to keep the hogs healthy
| and free from parasites.

matter a little carefully?
Our thoughts are presented from
the evangelical standpoint as to the
nature, manifestation. and outcome OF
sin. The widely prevalent modern.
though erroneous, view of sin makes
it rather an advantage than disad-
vantage. Adams fall being upward
rather than downward.
One Of the first suggestions is that
sin is self-perpetuating 1t is COM
mon saying that one sin leads to an
other-that sin follows sin somewhat
automatically. Sin, however, is not
in outward transaction, but in the
motive that is behind it. When a man
dies his personality with it's stamped
character continues, and reason would
say that his course of action with re-
spect TO the moral law is to continue.
Professor Denney says: The very
conception of human freedom involves
the possibility of fits permanent mis-
use, or what our Lord himself calls
eternal sim"
The punishment of sin is not today
held up before the transgressor, but
rather the sin itself. Is not the sin
really the great evil? 1t may be said
that if man can cease from sin out
wardly in this life, sin may not be-
come permanent. But this ceasing
from sin is by almighty power alone,
and this power is denied after death.
If it is further said that man by the
mere force of his own will can cease
from sin. we reply that the ceasing is
only in the outward manifestation.
and not in the real SHINING, which be-
longs to the motive.
Meager light Is thrown on the actlv-
ity of the wicked after death. but we
who die in sin go to dwell with the
devil and his angels. What is the en-
ployment of the devil? Does any one
who believes in a personal devil be-
lieVe that he does not continue to sin ?
Is he not intensely active, the instiga-
tor of all the cruelty, oppression. wars,
denominations, lies and Indebtedness
in the universe? If so, what about
those whom scripture calls his chill
UESus 0SSUS SdAu IACS w InC OOOoS
of their father, and are they any less
children after death than before?
There is no evidence that after
death there is a cessation from sin II
we consider the employment or expe-
rfences of the inhabitants of the other
world. As to heaven, about which we
know much more than about hell, we
learn the employment of the right

Do Not Feed Moldy Corn.

Moldy corn will produce blind stag
gers in horses, and it should never be
fed to them. Every year there is con-
siderable trouble with this disease in
the west, and in almost every case
the cause is moldy corn. If this
corn does not produce blind staggers.
It will tend to iniure the physical con-
dition of the animal. So don't feed
it, and be careful about pasturing the
horses in stalk fields where there is
moldy corn.
