MARKETING OF LAMB CROP

mails In Proper Condition.

Every flock owner should devote
particular attention to the handling
Of his flock in such manner that his
crop Of lambs will be In proper con.
dition to market when the price is
right to sell.
The increasing demand for fancy
mutton at times during the year has
given flock owners a much better op.
portunity to sell their lambs when
prices are on a higher level than dur
ing the ordinary season.
The man with a flock of high-class
mutton sheep has a field of operation

demand for all the lambs he can pro-
duce at any season Of the year and at
prices that insure a fair margin of
profit.

lambs In good condition when the
markets are not overloaded with the
products from the large feed lots. In

TREATMENT FOR LUMPY JAW
Removal Of Growth While In Tissues
by Use Of Knife 10 Considered
Satisfactory Method.

The most satisfactory way Of treat-
ing lumpy Jaw is to remove the
growth with a knife when in the
tissues only. The animal is thrown;
the skin is cut over the tumor, and
the swelling removed by cutting
around 1t In the healthy tissues. II
hemorrhage ia large the vessel may
be tied or taken up with the forceps;
bleeding from smaller vessels may be
scared with a red-hot Iron.
The wound should be washed with

then packed with antiseptic gauze or
cotton, and the wound stitched up.
The next day remove the stitches
and treat as an open wound.

WATER REQUIRED FOR FARM
Consumption VIII Vary From Day to
Day and With the seasons-Pro-
vide for Fire Protection.

According to the department of agri-
culture, each member Of a farmers
family requires for all purposes from
rs to 40 gallons of water per day;
each COW IL gallons, each horse 10
gallons, each hog 2h gallons, and each
sheep 2 gallons per day. The water
consumption will vary from day to
day and with the seasons. Fire pro-
lection should also be considered, and
in determining the size of tank the
maximum amount likely to be required
should be provided.
For a family Of six persons a 200.
gallon supply should be sufficient IL
the water is used in the house only.
On a farm where water is supplied
to a family Of 8 persons, 10 horses,
IL COWS, rs hogs and 15 sheep, the
daily storage supply should be at least
500 gallons, with whatever additional
amount the farmer deems necessary
for fire protection.

METHODIST TO HAVE
WEEK Of PRAYER
CALL ISSUED UPON TWO MIL
LION MEMBERS FOR MIS-
SION CAUSES.

Two million Southern Methodists
are asked to observe the week begin
ming January as the week Of prayer
and self-denial for the cause of for
eign missions. This Is In pursuance OF
an annual custom and one watch the
leaders feel reaches far deeper than
the financial answers to the appeals.
While the financial returns from
the observance OF this season OF
prayer and self dental last year were
great--ten new missionaries having
been sent cut as RESULT Is in
Me deepening OF the spiritual life OF
the church and the concentration OF
a great and mighty force upon reach
ing toward highest and best ideals
that has made the observance OF this
week so well worth while.
In an announcement recently sent
out from the mission board of the
Southern Methodist Church Southern
Methodists are reminded that they
give an average Of less than one cent
a week. although the Master gave his
life. The announcement continues:
''If our great task is ever done we
must not leave II to the crumbs from
the table OF our luxuries. 1t must share
in that which costs; II must go to the
quick OF our self-deniai. Yet it Is
easy. Only little effort for 30 big
task. One cent a day from every
member OF our church would mean
100000. That would more than sup
ply the fund we are asking you to
give. Even FIVE cents apiece would
carry our specific appropriation to ma
tive evangelism. Who will do less?
The following are given az some OF
the available specials for evangelistic
work:
Scholarships in Bible schools. $50
to $50.
Scholarships in theological schools,

RELIGION Of JOY
AND FORGIVENESS
REV. y. ). WICKER PICTURES
THE BEAUTIES OF
CHRISTIANITY.

"The religion Of Jesus is the only
religion that provides for forgiveness
of sins" said Rev. ]. ]. Wicker last
night in an appropriate sermon Tor the
Christmas season. at Leigh-Street bap-
fist Church. TT is the only religion
of Joy"
After describing in beautiful Ian
ruage Bethlehem and the scene OF lor-
mer Jewish glories the pastor said:
suddenly there was rift IN the
heavens Music. the sweetest music
earth had ever heard; countless cnoir
Of heaven is singing.
Glory to God in tina highest
And on earth peace among men OF gooo
will
TT was the song of incarnation.
David had made these hills immortal
centuries before. but now the solos
Of the psalmist were converted into
the oratorio of the angels What
strange thing that the choirs OF heaven
should sing the song OF incarnation to
a few humble shepherds minding their
focks by night on the Judean Hills.
But we will understand the mystery
when the babe becomes a man. He Will
give His saving ministry to one fallen
woman He will weep over Jerusalem
and will save even poor prodigaL
He will weep over Jerusalem and Will
save even a poor dying thief. The
humblest neediest and most sinful man
has the love OF God revealed to him
through Jesus.
"The religion of Jesus is the only
religion that provides for the for
giveness OF sins. 1t is the only reli-
gion Of JOY. Christianity Is the only
religion with q song. 1t began with
an anthem. II Is the only religion
that can meet the needs of the human
heart. 1t gives peace. good cheer and
Joy, and II also gives cross. but over
the cross there is crown. 1t Is the
only religion that adequately meets
the demands OF the human soul In
regard to the future life. Other reli-
gions are leap in the dark, but Jesus
Christ is the light of the world.
