 and religion have made the most progress in those communities in which intelligent stock farming has been most generally pursued"
 The United States Department of Agriculture has received a copy of MT. Hopkins recommendations for the future development of the live stock industry in Wisconsin. These recom- mendations point out that stockmen may well seek to increase their re- turns from live stock: CD by discard ing inferior animals. CD by strength ening their organizations, (3) by CO., operating when necessary in buying and selling, (4) by combating disease, (5) by supporting boys and girls club work, GO by studying live stock and milk marketing, CD by insisting upon more stabilized markets, and (S) working for the proper relation be- tween the price paid the producer and that paid by the consumer.

from the gloomy skies with mournful trumpet peals, and the white ermines that fitted over the moonlit fields of ice like moonlight themselves.
 "Alasi" said the old, sad King. Alas I am the King of dead world And I am the Lord of the ice and snow that kill all things. The world Is dim and still. I would that 1t laughed and were bright. I long for the Sun which is my death. For 1 am old and weary"
 King of the world" said the great est gray goose, liar, far away child has been born that they say will bring you deliverance. From my high places in the air I saw it once, a green plant hanging over 1t. And heard tale that when the child was ready to release you, the green plant would be sent to you as a token"
 "Go, then," said the sad King, "go, then, oh my heralds, and cry aloud that am weary and would rest. Call to the sun and the flowers to rule the world in my place."
  drove their great wedges to the south, where the green plant stood. There sat a girl, beautiful and gentle, with bright hair, and eyes that were the only blue thing in all the world, for the sky was not blue then, but gray and dark.
 Clamoring from the mighty throats rose the message of the sad old King, waiting for his deliverance in the dim north.
 At the sound, there was a flash as of a far-off white fire. That was the Sun, waking up and rubbing his fam ing eyes. The white beam fell on the girl and said: "Rise, little Spring. It is time, and you are called to rule the earth"
 The girl arose and there was a sound as if the little waters had begun to leap and splash. The girl stopped and picked a long, thick green leaf from the plant that had sheltered her. She formed it into a deep cup and kissed 1t.
 "How shall I send 1t to old Win ter?" she asked the Sun.
 "Send 1t by man," said the Sun. 'eHe is tall and strong and will bear 1t true"
 "Go, oh beautiful man," said Spring. "But beware how you lOiter on the way, for you bear great message. So man took the green cup and ran

toward the north. His heart leaped within him and his soul was full of the pride of his errand. He ran far and fast. But when he reached Asia, and climbed among the bearded mountains, deep in the holes where there was no snow he saw gleams of yellow.
 ''What is this strange color in the white world?" said the man. He stopped and looked. And then he went a little nearer. And almost be- fore he knew it, he had the yellow things in his hands. At once his green cup turned bright yellow and he cried out in amazement and fear. Then he saw that his hands were yellow, too. And he knew that he could not bear the great message.
 So he stayed in the mountains with the yellow things, which were grains of gold. And ever since then he will he sees the yellow gold in the earth.
 When man did not return, the Sun said: Make another cup, little Spring, and send it by white tiger. He is strong and fierce and will speed for you"
 bounded away full of pride. But he had not gone far before a white deer sprang heedlessly into him. "How dare you run into mel" cried white tiger. Do you not know that I am the bearer of the great message" And with one blow of his white paw he struck the little deer dead.
 Instantly it's blood dyed his green cup red; and white tiger, knowing that he could not bear the great mes- sage, fell down and rolled around In anguish. That is why the tiger is striped red now. And the red lilies are called tiger lilies because they look like him.
 Let me bear the great message !" cried the eagle when white tiger failed to return. 'I am greater than the gray geese and swlfter than the tiger and braver than man."
 Eagle fled, screaming defiantly, with the green cup in his fierce beak. For A while he swept faster than the wind but all at once, far below him, he saw a swamp and beasts creeping into it for the night. Then he could not mas ter his impulse to stoop for prey. Out of his beak fell the green cup, un needed. And to this day, the swamps are full of great fleshy green stems that grow high and long to blossom, but never can bear anything except the strange brown things that we call cat tails. And the eagles sit gloomily on dead trees and watch the swamps ever since.
 "Alas!' said the Sun. Little Spring, we have sent our strongest and bravest. Who can bear the mes sage nOw?"
 Let me try" cried a little bird, very

small and dainty. And Spring gave 1t cup.
 Off flew the messenger, twittering with joy and pride. But when it was far north it saw bit of bright blue high in the air. That was where the blue sky, impatiently waiting for the deliverance of the sad old King, had torn away just tiny corner of cloud and was looking down slyly.
 "Oh, beautiful skyT" cried the little bird. T know that should not stop, but must look at you and sing just a moment"
 And it sang. The green cup fell to earth, and became blue as the sky. So did the little bird. That is why the bluebirds always come ahead of Spring now and why the iris is so blue and beautiful early in the year.
 'There is none left now, little Spring, to bear the great message" said the Sun sadly. "There is none left now, and the old King must live on and rule the world"
 DO you think that could bear the great message?" asked a low voice. It was woman.
 "YouY said the Sun. You are weak and not brave and strong like the man, or mighty like white tiger, or swift like the eagle. What could you do, when they have failed?"
 "Let her try" said Spring. And she formed another green cup and kissed it and gave 1t to woman.
 f,rII 0f hn did not run like the man or sing like the bird. But, since she was afraid and humble, she prayed
 Weeping and bleeding, she came at last to the palace where the sad, old white King sat waiting. And when the woman appeared in the portals with the green cup, all the gray geese and the white ermines set up a cry that echoed through the world. IL was like glaciers rolling headIong into the sounding sea; it was like ava lanches shivering below; it was like the southern storms that break the ice; it was like grinding bergs and shattering foes.
 That is the cry that rings around the Noriu every Seal HO"; anu "Hen men hear it they say: ''Winter Is breaking up."
 The old white King arose with a glad face and reached his wrinkled hand out for the green cup. He pressed 1t to his face and inhaled the smell of the growing thing. And in a moment it turned white-snow white
 So the Easter lily became white.
 And whenever the world Is waiting for a great message. all things are well if woman bears 1t.

IMPROVEMENT OF PUREBREDs
Virginia Farmer Gradually Helps Quality of Stock by Using Those
 of Superior Type.

Of 151 head of live stock on farm in Shenandoah county, Va, all but five are of pure breeding, the United States Department of Agriculture Is advised. Cattle and swine are the principal classes of animals kept.
 In participating in the Better Sires Better Stock" campaign, the owner of these animals states that he cas- trates all inferior and surplus hogs, keeping none for breeding that can not be registered. q castrated 26 in one day" he adds. 'aThree of these were good enough yearling bOars to head most herds" By keeping only those animals for breeding which are of su- perior type, this farmer is gradually improving the quality of stock on his farm.

CONSIDERING OATS FOR HOGS
Not Worth While Unless Selling for Less Than One-Half as Much
 Per BusheI as Corn.

As a general rule 1t is not worth hogs unless they are selling for less than one-half as much per bushel as corn. In case the hogs are being car ried along rather slowly, however, or the tankage is extremely high-priced, 1t may be worth while to feed as much as a pound of oats per pig daily. In any case continue to depend chiefly on corn and tankage, feeding at least two or three parts of corn for each part of oats and at least one-fourth
