From them we can learn three prac-
teal lessons. From Adam we can
learn to obey God; from Noah to talk
to God; from Abraham to trust God.
At the close Of the service / gave
to each person in the audience a four
page folder, containing a brief outline
of my address, including the principal
facts, dates and outline, together with
the Sunday school lessons drawn from
the study Of the book.
I asked the people to read the book
Of Genesis through, and at our next
meeting to come prepared to pass an
examination upon the outline I had
given. At the next service I would
spend ten or fifteen minutes in ques-
tioning the congregation upon the book
Of Genesis, briefly reviewing what we
had gone over before. Then I took up
the book Of Exodus and gave an ad-
dress on that.
The Results.
At once there was q perceptible In
crease In the size Of the congregation,
and in q short time the attendance on
the night Of the book study was the
largest during the whole month. Peo-
pie began to read their Bible more,
and to talk about 1t more, not only dur
ing my social calls, but in the mid
week service, and young peoples
meeting. The young folks especially
were eager to get the monthly fold
er containing the outline Bible study,
and if obliged to be absent they were
sure to send by someone else to secure
a copy. These they stitched together
as the months went on, making them
into a little book.
Fruit Of Bible Reading Habit.
The habit Of reading the Bible con-
stantly, however, proved Of great
value. It kept me full Of texts and
themes and Scriptural illustrations. I
had no trouble in finding topics for
sermons. My greatest difficulty was to
find opportunity to use the wealth Of
material which was constantly accu-
mulating. Moreover in a few months
God gave US a season of spiritual re-
freshing which increased the church
membership about so per cent.
Moving to another church later, I
began the same method Of giving a
book study once a month, asking the
| congregation to read 1t in advance. I
began this time with the New Tesla
ment, and found the results to be prac-
tically the same as before. And again
In q few months there followed a re-
vival which transformed the church,
and added greatly to its usefulness and
power.
Doubtless I have made as many
mistakes and blunders as the average
pastor, but as I look back yer a long
and happy ministry I can see that my
highest enjoyment and what little serv-
ice I have been able to render to the
cause Of Christ, is largely due to the
book studies which I began In my
early ministry.

TO REBUILD COUNTRY ROADS
Present Rural System Laid Out Hum
dred Years Aao-Vast Change in
Traffic Conditions.

The nations rural road system
needs replanning, Prof. Frank a.
Waugh Of the Massachusetts Agricul-
tural college, Amherst, Mass, today
told the delegates to the convention
of the American Civic association.
sour present rural road system was
planned years ago and in some sec
tons they were laid out a hundred
years ago." he said. "Trafic condi'
tons were vastly different then, the
automobile had not been invented and
a large portion Of the crops produced
on each farm were consumed or man.
ufactured at home.
"Up to the present time major I'M
provements have been confined to d.
rect trunk lines connecting large CEN
tiers Of population. Such roads, there
fore, are especially valuable for the
movement Of heavy freight and are
now being used extensively BY auto
mobile trucks"

"Roughage should be fed to the limit
of the dairy cows capacity" says
Prof. G. C. Hayden Of the Ohio expert
Iment station. Relatively, the rough,
ages, like hay and corn and slower, are
much cheaper than grains and hay
hs Of unusually good quality. Rough
Iage, Of course, should not be fed exclu-
lsively, as such feeding might lead to
lcompaction and death even in dry cows
and heifers. Some grain is needed in
every dairy ration"
This dairy specialist also declares:
nChoice alfalfa hay at $40 a ton is
Icheaper than bran at $50. Our eX-
periments show that soy bean hay is
In the same class as alfalfa, and clo-
Iyer Is third. With corn at 81 a bush
lei, clover hay should be worth about
tS2O q ton, or SIS more than it is now
quoted"
Timothy hay Is recommended for
milking COWS only in small quantities
ito replace such grains as corn and
hominy. Leguminous roughages have
proved far superior in numerous e3-
Eperiments to timothy for COWS in
milk.

SILo OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
EHuge Receptacle Means Saving OF
(, From s to 10 Cents In Cost OF
Ea Producing Butterfat.

Practical dairymen who are silo
tasers say that the silo on the farm
means a saving Of from eight to ten
cents a pound in the cost Of producing
butterfat Beef feeders say that ensi-
Rage saves from 81 to s1.50 per hun
bred pounds in producing beef
Feeding experiments bear out these
statements. On this basis ensilage IN
der normal conditions Is worth 81 q
ton. with an increase Of SO per cent
in feed prices it is worth So per ton.
Reports from farmers show an Az
erage cost Of S2.75 a ton for corn en-
Isilage, including all factors incident
ko its production. The inadvisability
of doing without a silo seems to be
more important than the question of
whether to build one.
