HOW GOD WRITES HIS CHECKS


OTEwART c. MacFARLANE, of
y Pittsburgh. speaking before the
Harrisburg Rotary Club yesterday
on "The Higher Side of Rotary" made
a point of this thought:
Strive to be rich, not only. in the
mind and the spirit, but in the ma
terial things of the world, Tor you
must remember that God can write
His checks only through you and
me.
God can write his checks only
through you and me-" Here is truth
worth remembering. God has no
bank account save that of the individ-
ual man or woman. The possessor OF
wealth is not it's owner, but its stew
ard. Nc. McFarlane brings the par
able of the talents down to date. The
man who has wealth and does not use
1t for the benefit of his fellows may
he leading an exemplary life other
wise, but he is not letting God write
his checks through him and mighty
little can be accomplished these days
without the assistance, in some meas
ure, of checks.

That was my interest when start

80, who asked the right to work and

that he could not lift heavy things.

of sweetness, of patience and of

blind woman quivered.

She stopped and from her sightless
eyes two tears flowed over and down
her cheeks and she tried to control

Laughter.

We talk much about wholesome food, fresh air, pure air, the absence of infection, and other hygienic sub jects. But whoever heard of organ tzed attempts to promote laughter?
 Of course such endeavors are not often needed, but. really, there is hard ly thing that helps so much to pro- mote health as does good, honest, whole-souled laughter
 Laughter blows away foolish no tions, sweeps out the blues, shakes up the dry bones, stirs new life into every corner of the brain. Laughter fills the lungs with new air and blows cut the old; opens the eyes to distorted view points; clears the way for better logic with new basis; uneovers a multitude of sins. Laughter is the friend of the world, laughter is the only absolutely human characteristic. 1 mean, the laughter of humor and genuine fun. (It is true that some animals make faces and noises; that is about what some supposedly human folks call laughter. tool
 Promote laughter; not giggles, nor smiles, nor sarcastic grins. but laugh ter-honest. funny, side-splitting. rib twisting. friend-making laughter. So shall you be also friend of the world, and partner of gods. s."-Osteopathic Magazine.

FEEDING SlLAGE TO HORSES
Danger of Forage Poisoning Is Thought to Come From Portions
 Not Sufficiently Mostened.
By W. R. DoDsoN. Louisiana Expert

fBy W. R. DODSON, Louisiana Expert
 ment Station9
 There is little danger of forage poisoning in feeding silage to mules and horses. and because of the occa- sional bad results it is not generally deemed advisable to feed silage to these animals.
 If the feeding is carefully looked af. ter, however, and no moldy silage is fed, then it would be safe. The danger is thought to come from portions of the silage that are not sufficiently wet and mold in the curing, and it has the same ( tect as moldy hay. The same moldy silage, however, does not seem to have any detrimental effect on cat tie. On the other hand, if plenty of water is put in with the silage when the silo is being filled there should be no mold in any portion of it. unless there should be a leakage of air at some point of the silo, and then the silage will mold in the vicinity of the leak

depends somewhat upon the milker. the milk and record it on the weigh sheets, and know what your COW is doing.
 Strain the milk through two thick nesses of cheesecloth and into a five gallon can; and as soon as the can is filled, carry it immediately into your milkroom and pour over the cooler.
 You can purchase for five or six dol lars a good up-todate cooler that will bring your milk down to 50 degrees at once Set the eight.gallon can under the cooler, and as soon as it is flied place a piece of cheesecloth over the top and set into a vat of cold water If iced in summer so much the better
 Change the cheesecloth for every five-gallon can. as it is filled; and al ways have an extra cloth over the straining cloth. while the can is stand ing in the stable.
 These cheesecloths must be thor oughly washed. rinsed out in cold Wa ter first. until all the milk is out of them: then wash in good hot water and soap powder. after which they are rinsed in cold water and wrung out. placed in a porcelain-lined kettle with cover and taken to the kitchen stove to boil. Let them boil or re- main in boiling water until ready for use again.
 Often the farm cream-separator is only rinsed out at night by pouring water through the bowl. But the slime cannot be removed in this way

The first character of right child hood is that it is modest A wellbred child does not think it can teach it's parents, or that it knows everything.

And 1t is always asking questions. and wanting to know more. We'll. that is the first character of good and wise man at his work. To know that he knows very little; to perceive that there are many above him wiser than he; and to be always asking questions, wanting to learn. not to teach.

 By all means have a small upright boiler off your milkroom, with plenty of steam for sterilizing your tins. Be sure that your we'll water is free from contamination.
 Use shavings for bedding. if pessi- ble For the gutters, put in clean straw. and before milking. morning and evening, turn under the manure, the fresh straw coming to the top, and draw the shavings around the COWS.
 It pays to run into the stable once or twice during the day and turn un- der the droppings.
 Try to keep the cows clean; it is easier than cleaning them. For few dollars clipping machine can be pur- chased clip the long hairs from the udder, Hanks. legs and belly on the milking side, and tails to the brush.
 If you can have sufficient help. brush and curry the COWS once a day; if not, at least once or twice week to get out the loose hairs.

 I should then take an open pail with a piece of eheesecloth over the top and milk the fore milk into this pail from every COW: not only will you have a lower percentage of bacteria in your milk for the market, but this enables one to see the condition of every teat, whether there is garget blood, watery or stringy milk on the cloth. and if so. that particular quar- ter can be avoided in the milk pail.

FISHES TREMBLE WITH FEAR
Inhabitants of Water, 1t Is Asserted, Show the Same Emotions as
 Do Domestic Pets.

To most people whose opportunities for observing fish life are limited to occasional visits to an aquarium. the thought rarely occurs that these finny inhabitants of the water are capable of as many varied emotions as are our domestic pets, the cat and dog, says Popular Science.
 In an account of the investigations conducted by Dr. Francis Ward, an English zoologist, into the behavior and life of fish in their natural en- vironment. the following appears:
 We are accustomed to think that only we humans become pallid with fear or agitated with joy. But some experimentsswith perch in the artifi- eial pond show that when their repose is suddenly disturbed by tapping on the glass, the fish visibly tremble and the bars which are characteristic of this species actually disappear for the time being only to reappear when the disturbance is removed and the equa- nimity of the fish is restored
 Sometimes a pike that is rapidly advancing on his prey becomes suspi- cious about the latter's character. The pursuer will suddenly stop, in an at titude of doubt, his back will arch and he will remain suspended as though studying the cause of his suspicious. Only when he is thoroughly reassured does he become rigid, to advance to the final attack; if his suspicion is not allayed he drops to the bottom of the pond or swims off in disappointment"

and the bacteria grow rapidly, get into the next mornings milk and may cause undesirable fermentation changes.
 The separator should be taken apart. well washed and scalded after each period of use. Much loss is caused to the farmers by dirty farm-separa- tors.
 In the barn, the dust from the feed, bedding or dry manure settling into the milk pail, contaminates the milk with bacteria. To have the minimum of dust at milking time, do not feed hay or dry fodder just before milking. nor bed the cows, sweep or otherwise stir up the dust before milking
 It is most essential that the milkers hands be clean, for some milk is cer. tain to come in contact with them on it's way to the pail The suit worn during milking should be kept espe- eially for that purpose and should be washed at frequent intervals The milking should always be done with dry hands.
 Milk should be kept in a place free from all pronounced odors. It should always be removed from the stable as soon as is is drawn. and ensilage should be fed after milking
 Certain weeds found in the hay will frequently taint the milk. as will green rye and strong ensilage. Cattle. in summer, should not have access to places where they become soiled with mud.

SHEEP DESTROY MANY WEEDS
Besides Returning Good Profits From Mutton and Wool Animals Aid in
 Clearing Pastures.

Sheep are the great enemies of weeds and where sheep can be turned into a field, or flock herded along the roadside, they will effectively clear up waste vegetation and in addi- ton the trampling of their feet will destroy many insects. The sheep at the same time turn waste material into mutton and all they require is a little grain for finishing.
 Frequently when sold they return a profit, but the entomologists hold that if they merely pay for the extra grain they eat their function in destroying weeds and keeping down insects makes their use we'll worth while.
