We need not follow the antiquarians
eek into the era of, the cave dwellers
our search for the origin of religion.
.igion is reborn in the birth of every
.iba, says Lyman Abbott in the Out
ook. He needs no teacher to tell him
that he is dependent on his mother
Cor his food, and widening sense of
his helpless dependence on her grows
with his widening experience. Her
service to him awakens his gratitude,
her brooding love for him inspires In
him an answering love.
Ii she is wise as well as an affec-
tionate mother, he early recognizes
her authority and learns that prompt
obedience is one secret Of happiness.
IF she loves and honors her husband
her child's love and honor follows
hers to the strong stranger. II she
has piety as well as human affection,
he dimly perceives In her prayers
at his bedside an experience which
lie presently wishes he might share.
Thus there grows up in him spirit
of dependence, gratitude, love, rever-
cnce, obedience, falkland this spirit
is religion. It antedates all theology,
precedes thought, transcends dedni-
ton. The spirit OF faith, hope and
love toward father and mother is the
child's religion. The conception Of
God and his duties toward God comes
later.

Leaf vegetables, lettuce, spinach,
and cabbage that are largely water

valuable minerals which your body
needs as well as growth-promoting
substance that help make children

Minerals in vegetables keep your
blood as it ought to be and your
whole body in good condition.
Vegetables are better than medi-

Dealing With Contagious Diseases.

In dealing with contagious diseases
OF cattle the basic principle of pre-
vention is to keep carriers of infec-
ton away from the herd. Next in i'm
portance is maintaining the sur
roundings in a sanitary condition.
Following this, the animals natural
resistance to disease should be in
creased by natural and occasionlly
by artificial means. Ordinarily,
disease stalks about the country only
in the bodies of diseased animals or
attached to some intermediate object;
these may include healthy or recover
ed animals, contaminated feed and
water, infected cars and pastures, or
the shoes or clothing of some in
quisitive person who insisted on see
ing the diseased stock. Avoiding such
diseased animals and keeping healthy
ones away from carriers of infection
are the important methods of pre-
venting disease.
The lack of immediate action upon
the part of the farmer when he dis
covers animals that show symptoms
of disease or sickness often is re-
sponsible for the loss not only of his
own stock but for that of his neigh
bors. AT this time when every step
should be taken promptly to avoid
losses and conserve production, it is
all the more important that the farm
err with sick cattle should get in touch
at once with the local veterinarian or
county agricultural agent.

More attention should be given to
the fattening of growing chickens, as
most of them are marketed in a thin
and unfinished condition, although
both the weight of the chickens and
the quality of their flesh can be great
ly improved by short period of fat
tening, according to poultry special
lists of the US. Department of Agri-
culture. Hens which have been prop
erly cared for are usually in good
market condition, but If in poor flesh,
they may be confined to pens and
fatten for one or two weeks at
profit. The farmer has very good con-
ditions for producing well-fieshed
poultry, as he can utilize waste pro-
ducts from his farm in growing this
stock by allowing the chickens free
range and get them into best condi-
ton for fattening. Both the farmer
and backyard poultry keeper can
thus turn waste products and grain
into flesh while securing a large
amount of valuable manure from the
poultry. Skim or buttermilk, which
are great aids to the most economical
fattening, are available as by-pro-
ducts on many farms.

How Animals Swim.

Nearly all animals are better swim
naturally, while he has to learn to
propel himself. The rhinoceros and
hippopotamus are wonderful swim
mers and divers, while the Indian
elephant crosses great rivers with
heavy loads. The elk and the rein
deer are first class swimmers. The
elk keeps his head above water and
crosses directly from bank to bank
TO avoid turning. The reindeer, on
the other hand. turns as often as he
likes, keeping his head little above
the surface.
But of all the swimmers of all
climes the best, though not the swift
est, is said to be the polar bear, who
passes half his time in the water
swimming and diving. His swimming
power is nothing short of miraculous
If il be remembered that the water
in the regions he frequents is invari-
ably cold, and that cold is normally
prohibitive to good swimming. There
are bears that can swim from 40 to
so kilometres without great effort.
One of the swiftest swimming ami
mails is the squirrel, A sportsman on
one occasion, having at hand SPUR
rel born in captivity, which had never
seen water, wanted to see If it could
swim, and took it with him in a row.
boat to the center of lake The
squirrel turned toward the bank,
head and paws above the water, back
and tail underneath it, and began to
swim so rapidly that IL was with the
greatest difficulty that the man re-
covered il when 1t reached the shall |
low water near the land. 1t lis said |
that even many nonaquatic birds will |
swim like ducks if an attempt DE
made to drown them.

From the result of many feeding
trials with hogs 10 pounds of gain for
each bushel of corn fed, or pound of
gain for every Sc pounds of corn, is
all that should be expected from feed
ing corn alone in dry lot. A mix
ture of one part tankage and Q parts
corn gives much better results, usu-
ally producing 1 pound of gain for
every As pounds of the mixture fed.
The quantity of grain needed to
produce a pound of gain is consid-
erably lessened If the hogs have
acces to green forage. Corn fed Il
growing shotes on rape should pro-
duce l pound of gain for every 3.67
pounds of grain fed. The addition of
some highly concentrated feed, such
as tankage. meat meal, shorts. or
linseed meal, should reduce by one
half to three-fourths of a pound the
quantity of grain necessary to pro-
duce a pound of gain.

A hen which selects a new coat of
plumage before October l is unpatri-

er is loafer. while the later molter
is a heavy layer. Hens rarely mott and
lay at the same time and the early
molter has gone on a strike before
she should. The poultry man will do
well to rid his flock OF this kind, says
H. l.. Kempster, of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture.
Many people have the idea that an
early molter will be layer next win

In most of the sections producing
winter wheat early blowing results
in increased yields. This is especially
important when wheat follows wheat
continuously, but also is true when
wheat follows a green-manure crop,
or corn or other titled crop, or sum-
mer fallow. The wheat land should
have at least two months to settle
after blowing and befor sowing, so
that, with the help of the rains, 1T may
become firm and compact beneath.
The upper portion should then be
well worked, Just before sowing,
until 1t is fine, mellow, and a fit
place for sowing wheat.

Every boy and girl who has sad a
possible, save seed for next years
planting. In many cases IL is possible
to gather beans and peas that have
become to old for eating, thus assur-
ing a supply of good seed for next
years planting. AS a rule, with limit
ed garden areas 1t will not pay to
other vegetables for the production
of seed, but when a surplus is allowed
to become to old for eating it does
pay to save this surplus for seed.
Sufficient tomato, squash. melon, Gu
cumber, and corn seed may be saved
from the product of almost any gar
den provided little attention is
given the matter.
Seed should be saved only from
strong, healthy plants. In the case of
beans, peas, and sweet corn, the seed
should be allowed to ripen on the
plant. In the case of such plants as
tomatoes, cucumbers, etc, the fruits
from which the seed is to be saved
should be well ripened. Remove the
seed and spread it out to dry. All
seed must be thoroughly dry before
beng stored. Garden seeds must be
kept in a vermin-proof, well-ventilat-
ed receptacle. A tin bread box is
ideal, as it supplies the proper "a
mount of ventilation and mice cannot
destroy the contents. Care should be
taken to liable every package of seed
to avoid confusion at planting time.
Keep the seed box in a dry. well-ven-
tilated room, such as room on the
second floor of the dwelling.
