soNeBIRDs OF GREAT VALUE
Rarest Varieties Command Large
Sums When They Are offered
for Sale to Fanciers.

The recent international bird show
has provided some astonishing facts
and figures regarding the value Of
songbirds. There are nearly one. hun
dred classes of canaries. That they
can be Norwich or Lancashire, Border
or Yorkshire variegated, lizard, I'M
fiighted, clear, cross-bred, created, self
or foul conveys very little to the aver
age mind but leaves one marveling at
the variety of chirping little creatures
whose feathers are every conceivable
shade of yellow.
One marvels also at the variety Of
birds that could be kept as pets.
Finches, linnets, redpoles, tomtits,
robins, wrens, stonechats, babblers
and long-tailed, short-tailed, wag-tailed
and crested varieties of all of them in
every size, from the minute hummina
bird to the plump scarlet cockatoo, all
vie for that popularity which up to
the present has been the monopoly OF
the canary.
And these little birds are all quite
cheap. A few dollars will buy most
of them, but on the other hand $2,50t
would be asked for gorgeous Grim
son bird of paradise, or $4,000 for the
canary bullflnch white Rose" the
most expensive songbird in the world

might just as easily, and with much
more satisfaction, have attained the
glories of the Divine nature had they
kept their robes unspotted from the
world. The fact that they will receive
palm branches indicates that they final
ly come Off victors; but their lack OF
zeal hindered them from being accept
ed as of the more than conquerors- >
Thus they fail to receive joint-heirship
with our Lord In His Messianic King
dom. But In His infinite mercy the
Heavenly Father has another, though
inferior blessing for them; for appar-
emily they will attain a place similar
In many respects to that occupied by
the angels.
Here is the difference between being
In the Throne and before the Throne.
Each spirit-begotten child of God de-
cides the matter for himself If we
walk with Him in white. we shall sit
down with Him in His Throne of glo-
ry, honor and Immortality If we do
not SO walk, we shall have our portion
with the other class. Dear Brethren,
permit nothing to separate you from
the love of God in Christ. If we walk
with Him in white, all things shall be
ours-things present and things to
come. No people in the world should
be so happy as we are; no people are
SO happy. 1t is worth a fortune to re-
alize that our God is God of Love and
to realize what He has in store for US

FEEDING ROOTS TO CATTLE
English Stockmen Feed Enormous
Quantities Of TurnIps and Beets--
Best Methods of Feeding.

Turnips and beets are grown and
fed in enormous quantities by English
stockmen and farmers. They do not
have silage because of climatic condi-
tons unfavorable to corn. American
farmers who use roots to some extent
can wisely profit by English experience
in feeding them.
An authority advises that they
should always be cut or pulped. and
never fed whole to cattle. When fed
whole there is greater danger of chok-
ing. especially with the last piece. and
also greater loss or waste by tram
ping under. foot.
The best method of feeding is to cut
or pulp the roots and mix them with
cut hay, straw or chaff, allowing the
pile to heat for few hours before
feeding. This has the merit of warm
ing up the roots, which are generally
a cold feed, and of making low-grade
roughage more palatabie. Cattle fed
in this manner through the winter
come out in much better condition
than II given the same amount of feed
uncut and not mixed

the Lamb. (Rev. 7:9.17) All these
will be washed eventually In the great
Time of Trouble such as was not since
there was nation. They will not be
counted worthy to escape those things
coming upon the world-the Time of
trouble just before us. They have not
been walking with our Lord In white,
not walking with Him at all-Rev. S:4
There is no way to keep our gar
ments white except by continually be-
Ing In relationship with the Lord. In
this way We shall gain the victory over
sin. But those who do not remove the
spots as they come, cannot walk with
Him In white, cannot go in to the wed
ding, not being part Of the Bride
class. (Matthew 25:1012) They will
miss the promised glory, honor and i'm
mortality.
But God in His Wisdom has some
thing even for them, for In one sense
they are really overcomers Even
when besmirched with sin, they were
not in sympathy with sin. In their
minds they were fighting against sin,
even though not getting rid of 1t. The
Lord will put them to the final test;
ana II then they deny the Lord, they
snail die the Second Death. But If in
that test they say from the heart, "Oh,
now see my mistakel 1 see where /
should have done differently. / win
now be faithful to the Lord; / win
stand ready to die for Jesus instead of
denying Him." they will receive the
palms Of victory. But they win not
get the Crowns Of Glory; for they did
not become more than conquerors."

a great deal and if was on my feet long
or took cold, my kidneys were affected.
Then my back bothered me more than
