Dat straw makes a good roughage
for idle horses when it is well saved,
but feed a little hay along with it.
To groom the horse we'll after hard
work does not only clean the skin, but
prevents various parasitic diseases OF
the skin.
A horse that is %hidebound will be
benefited if given q little oilmeal Dim
seed mcaD. This must be begun in
doses Of not more than a tablespoonful
at a feed and gradually increased to
nearly a pint with the other food three
times per day.
In feeding aged steers quality and
type are not so essential as in feeding
calves provided the purchase price is
p~roportionate.
The busy bacteria gets busy In the
milk almost at the moment it is drawn
from the COW.
As a rule, a large flow of milk is as

No man is in a better position to
build up his soil than a dairyman it he
uses wisely the forces at his command.
The calf that is expected to develop
into a strong and profitable cow should
be given all the chance possible during
it's early period Of growth.
1t is a source Of satisfaction to the
progressive dairyman to be able to
sum up at the end of the year just ex-
actly what every Gov has done.

gests how the shepherd rescues the
sheep from danger and even death and
restores it to safety. "Paths Of right

the precipice or keep the sheep from
places which confuse them so that they
cannot get back, but which take them
securely to their destined end. "He

shepherd must go before his sheep.

through such dangerous glens, there Is
no need for alarm, since the shepherd
himself is present. He is further Sc
curely armed with the rod" or club,
which he use on the Wild beasts,
and with the ''staff," on which he leans
when climbing or which he uses to
keep the sheep within the flock. How
%strikingly the relations between God
and the soul are conveyed in these
lines and how blessedly they impart
courage and comfort to those who ex-
ercise faith in God!

"Preparest a table" means providing
a meal by seeing that the pasture is
clean. I'm the presence Of my e
mics" Snakes are found in holes in
away they bite the noses of the sheep
as they nibble the grass. Hyenas and
wolves are also found in caves near
by. Thus does the shepherd guard his
flock a. God cares for the man who
is exposed to the fierce temptations Of
everyday life. "Anointest my head
with OIL" At the close of the day the
shepherd stands at the entrance Of his
fold and inspects each sheep as it en-
tiers. Out of his horn Of olive oil he
anoints the bruises Of the wounded
and bathes the face and head of the
tired sheep. "My cup runneth over"
The reference is to the full cup Of
water which is also offered to the
weary sheep. One whose lot can be
compared to these tender provisions
may we'll confess. "Surely goodness
and mercy the twin benefactors Of
the eternal God, 'haye followed me-
In minfstering attendance upon my
many needs. CAN the days Of my
life" The loving kindness Of God is
a continuous benediction, and whoever
enjoys it may we'll resolve to dwell
Gin the house Of the Lord forever"
not in the sanctuary merely, but in the
practice OF communion with God for
all time is the portion of those thus
shepherded.

Happy experience.
The elements Of romance and adyen-
ture which are found In David's career
have made him one Of the attractive
heroes of history. His behavior under
adverse circumstances, especially when
he suffered owing to the jealousy Of
King Saul, points to the secret of his
successful life. He was about fifteen
years Of age when he was anointed by
Samuel. Another fifteen years passed
before he was given the rule oyer a
part Of the nation. This was about the
most critical period of his life, for he
was treated by Saul rs an outlaw. and
his life was always in jeopardy. All
this was to stand him in good stead in
later life, and we cannot think of his
successful administration without re-
minding ourselves of the harsh prcpara-
ton which he underwent. This is the
man who has been acknowledged to be
the author of the confession Of trust
and faith which we are nov to study.
DR.. Alexander Maclaren has we'll said:

psalm. 1t has dried many tears and

ter Of this individual is happily drawn
IN this charming poem, and the writer's
conception Of God was suggested to
him by his own knowledge Of shepherd
life. The Lord is my shepherd" At
the very outset he strikes the personal
note and gives q vivid description of
his religious experience which was at
once comforting and encouraging.
Green pastures are the rare patches
of luxuriance in the midst of vast

the streams, few as they are, in search
Of a drinking place at some we'll or
fountain. The troughs are here filled,
and the thirsty animals after the days

Of the way in which God cares for the
needs of those who rely on him!

dome of st. Sophia was on the eve Of
realization.
Constantinople Is to the Russian
church and to its adherents what Rome
is to the Roman Catholics, and for the
last 200 years in particular it has con-
stituted the principal object Of all Mus
covite religious and political aspira-
tons. Without attaching any credence
whatsoever to the purely mythical tes-
lament Of Peter the Great about Con-
stantipole, a document which was new
er heard Of until the beginning Of the
nineteenth century, nearly q hundred
years after his death, and which Is a
forgery concocted by the Pole Sokol-
Mkt and the Frenchman Lesueur at
poleon, there is no doubt that Car Pc
ter had set his heart upon the acquisi-
ton Of COnstantinople and had i'm
pressed this idea upon his people as q
national ideal.
Catherine the Great was equally bent
upon transferring the capital of her
empire from Petrograd and from Mos
COW to Stamboul. and when Napole-
on /. and Alexander !. planned togeth-
err their sharing the dominion Of the
world the Muscovite ruler insisted upon
the possession Of Constantinople on po-
litical and religious grounds, declaring
it to be "the key to the door of Rus
sia." Napoleon would not and could
not consent to this, giving utterance
to his celebrated and historic phrase:
NO. The possession Of Constantinople
by Russia would mean the mastery Of
the world"
1t was this question about Constan-
tinople that caused the break of the
friendship OF the two emperors and an
ennity which resulted in N%apoleon's
disastrous invasion of Russia with his
grande armee, in the destruction of
Moscow by fire, in the coalition Of Rus
sia with Great Britain, Prussia, Swe-
den and Austria against France. i'm the
invasion Of the latter country by the
allies, in the disastrous defeat of Ma
poleon at Leipzig and at Waterloo, in
the loss of his throne and in his exile,
first to Elba and then to st. Helena.
While it is an eXaggeration, at any
rate in these modern times, to ascribe
the mastery of the world to the pos
session OF Cons+antinople, it cannot be
uenled that the city occupies from a
political. from a strategic and from an
economic point Of view, one of the
most valuable and important sites in
the World. 1t is a natural fortress of
great strength, protected as it Is in
the rear by mountain and Wamp.
which make it difficult to attack by
lahd, and by those wonderful straits,
the Dardanelles and the Eosporus,
which furnish q so matchlcss defense

rope Il Asia meet, and which con-
meets the Black sea with tie Mcditer-

Even the existing trade route to In
dia via the Suez canal would be en-
dangered by Russia's possession of Con-
stantinople. for although today Great
Britain and Russia are allies it by no
means follows that they will always be
friends. Indeed, Sir Edward Grey and
those intrusted with the direction Of
pire would he wanting both In patriot
ism and in farsighted craftsmanship
were they to neglect to take into con-
sideration the possibility of Russia and
England drifting apart and even re-
verting to their oldtime enmity.
There are other reasons too, which
render not only England, but also
France, reluctant to see their Russian
ally established in possession Of Con-
stantinople. Both powers have mil
lions upon millions of Moslems subject
to their rule. The followers OF Islam
who accord their allegiance to the
British crown in India and in Africa
may be numbered at neal 10000, 600.
Rightly or wrongly, Russia has al
ways been regarded by Mohammedans
in all parts Of the world as the chief
foe Of Islam, largely in consequence
Of her numerous wars against the
Turks and her well known determine
ton to possess herself of Constantino-
pie.
Were England and France to lend
themselves to the establishment Of
Russia at STEAMBOAT and to the substi-
tuition Of the Muscovite cross in the
place Of the crescent on the great dome
Of the mosque Of St. Sophia they
would incur the bitter resentment Of
all their Moslem lieges, a resentment
which could not fail to become a
source not merely of weakness, but
even Of grave peril to their respective
nations. Moreover, neither Of these
powers is particularly anxious to ex-
change the military terrorism which
Germany has for the last forty years
exercised on the concert of Europe for
the domination Of the latter by Russia.
1T must be borne in mind that there
! are other nations which are equally

tinople and consider that they have
quite as great a right thereto as Rus
STA. 70 begin with, there are the
Greeks, who yearn for the realization
or their national dream Of the restora-
ton of th" ancient Grecian or Ryan
tine empire, with its capital, not at
Athens, but at Constantinople. They
regard themselves as the lawful heirs
OF the Greek dynasties that reigne,l at
ConstAntinoplc before it fell into the
hands of the Turks in the fifteenth
century, and have a popular prophecy,
according to which the city is to pass
into their hands when they are ruled
by Il Constantine and a Sophia, which
are the names of their present king
ana queen. The Greeks at Constanti-
noIle form the richest, largest and
most important element of the popula-
ton, who have contributed in no small
measure To its prosperity and develop
mcnt ana who therefore look upon the
city as to Il great extent their property.
Then there are the Bulgarians, who
are also bent on getting COnstantinople.
In fact King Ferdinand, at the outset
OF the first of the Balkan wars, made
no secret of his ambition to be crowned

For the Farmer's Eve
II DAIRYMAN.

Remember that the heifer is
the dairy COW Of the future.
Feed her accordingly.
The dairy hog brings in the
money faster than any other an
1mal on the farm except the
dairy cow.
Sunshine is necessary in the
milk house in the winter time.
One Of the most important
things in running a dairy sue
c%essfully is brains. Brains must
be applied to every branch OF
work If the best profit is to fol-
low.
No COW can produce her max
fmum unless she has the right
kind of care and food, and If she
does not produce her maximum
she will not give the best profit.
