WATER OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Cows Must Have Access to Ii in Win
ter So They Can Drink All That
They May Desire.

Water is fully as important to the
dairy COWS as feed during the winter.
They must have access to it so that
they can drink all they want, whether
they have it in automatic water basins,
or in the yard tanks Cows giving
milk need great quantities Of water.
Careful experiments have proved that
it requires more than five pounds of
water for every pound of milk pro-
duced by the cow

punishment as the school provided for
hardness, learned within one semester
to do what was necessary with suit
liable despatch. And now she isn't
late at ALL
This was quite an achievement, and
Mrs. King made no effort to conceal
her pride. But she did not tell us at
whose cost her daughter had learned
to dress herself; nor did she develop
any principle that might be of general
use to large numbers of mothers.
In the first place, the frequent tar
dineSs of this child in school is a
serious burden to the school. The
alternative, of helping the child at
home with reminders, or even with
direct assistance in the tedious process
of diSpoSing of the clothes properly
about the body, is no doubt a serious
burden upon the home And there is
no doubt that by placing the whole
burden upon the child and the school
the mother was able to show good
record for improvement in Maude's
habits. But it is worth while to con-
slider whether it is fair to make the
school bear the burden that Mrs. King
Imposed upon it.
In the second place, the device used
cannot be of general applicability, for

tuality of the school would break down
completely The irregularity resulting
would make it impossible for the
school to establish and maintain any
standards, and the homes would be
without the moral support they now
get from the school in the effort to
accelerate the children'S habits OF
regularity and punctuality.
This suggests that Mrs. Kings reli-
ance upon the school was in this case
parasitic and contrary to the spirit
of mutual help that should character
fze our social relations. Yet the pur-
pose was laudable, and there was no

Men who have tried other cures for
enslaving habits, but in vain, have
found help here.
After virtue comes knowledge"
How appropriate that this should fol-
low virtue, for no man is more dam
gerous than he who has a strong will
but is not instructed in the use of it.
He is related to the mule rather than
to the ideal man. But the new spirit
which comes through faith in Christ
brings light as to our duties and the
word of God is found a lamp to our
feet. (The knowledge referred to here
is practical rather than speculative;
we may not be told the dimensions of
heaven, but the way to get there Is
made plain.)
Temperance" or self-control, comes
next. What a commentary on our ma
tional sin that the word suggests abb
Stinence from drink But it's meaning
is much broader, for our judgments,
our tastes, our speech must be con-
troued, (Here is found one of the Sc

full or hopeful endurance. 1t is far re-
moved from the stoical idea it is not
the patience of the Indian at the stake,
but of the Christian who sings as he
suffers. 1t grows out of faith but is
nourished by the hope of Christ's ap-
pearing, for we read often of "the pa
thence of hope"
The next grace is '+godliness," the
fundamental idea of the word being
reverence toward God. There is no
table lack of this virtue today. Would
that we could keep ever before US such
revelation of God as is found in
Isaiah 40, where we see him holding
the oceans in the hollow of his hand,
weighing the mountains in scales, call
ing the stars by name, and accounting
the nations as the small, invisible dust
of the BALANCED
Following goodness is 'fbrotherly-
kindness or as the Revised Version
reads, 'love of the brethren This is
distinctively Christian. for those who
are near to Christ will love one an
other. Many young Christians have
been helped to assurance by the text,

seems to be out of harmony with the
gospel of salvation by grace, yet our
text appears to favor it,
1t will clear up matters considerably
to note the change of translation in
the Revised Version which instead of
saying, add to your faith reads, 'in
your faith supply virtue" etc. In 9TH
er words, faith is the root from which
all these graces blossom forth. They
are not entities to be added but flow
ers which will bloom if we care for the
root of faith. We shall notice these
graces in order.
