MUCH REVENUE
FROM MILK COW
What Produces More Steady Income
On The Farm

This Is a question many farmers
have asked themselves. The best
answer yet found Is this: Milking
cows brings in a regular weekly sal
airy that pays family expenses. and
removes the element of doubtful or
uncertain returns that exist In almost
every other source of In
practically every five year period in
the past quarter OF a century a small
bunch OF good milk cow on the farm
would have produced profit than
twice that amount of capital and
labor invested in wheat. Prior to
that time the facilities for shipping
butter and cream were so inefficient
that the product of the COW vas lin
tied to a local market. Today the
world is the market.
These facts, without the why's and
wherefors of details, are becoming
apparent to producers of the north
west, and 1t means changed con
ditions In South Dakota, just as it has
in other states. For instance, the
creameries OF Minnesota in 1913 sold
$34, 955, 1854 worth of butter. In 1922
Minnesota's creameries sold $72,92S,-
773 worth of butter-more than
doubling the returns in a ten-year
period.
To make the success claimed for
the milk cow il is not necessary for
everybody to establish a dairy. Nor
is ii necessary to frantically rush into
debt to- buy fancy cattle. But 1t is
necessary to secure a small bunch
of good milk cows, the best n can
get, and then take care of them. II
will be found to- be as profitable, or
more so, than any other department
of a we'll diversified farm.
This is the tendency today in South
Dakota, and successful experience of
the next few years will greatly ex-
tend the general study and use of the
milk cow. In fact close observers
are now noting the presence OF real
milk cows in many pastures, as well
as the purely beef strains of cattle,
and milk testing associations are
being organized in several localities
of the state.

By Rev. Paul Gardner.

Her whirlwinds are reused into
wrath o'er his head;
Meath his feet roll her earthquakes
Her solitudes spread to daunt him:
Her forces dispute his command;
Her SHOWS fall To freeze him;
Her suns burn to brand;
Her seas yawn TO engulf him;
Her rocks rise to crush,
And the lion and leopard, allied,
turk to rush on their startled
invader"
But hat is not all. We find a law
in nature that says The soul that
sinneth 1t shall die" Yes, God has

not because he made 1t SO, but be-
cause 1t Is naturally SO. Nature. be-

character of man, hath decreed IL. IL

remedy for it, no way to avoid II.
Moreover, natures God, Creator.
seems either unable or ~indisposed to
prevent 1t. So far as nature or the
God nature reveals is concerned man
must bear his penalty unpitied and
unaided.
Thus Nature with all her charming
beauty fails in the great essentials OF
the soul. She has no satisfying
answer to mans deep question.
What is God" She can not speak of
him nor reveal him as Love, az
Heavenly Father. She has no mes-
sage for the sin stricken heart. She
holds out no hope. She offers no
pardon. She reveals no fauntain for
cleansing. She knows no mercy
iseat. She answers no heart cry and
regards no prayer. She offers no
atonement for mans sin. To her CAL
vary and the Cross are unknown.
With her immortality is hardly a
guess. She says OF the tree IF 1t be
cut down there is hope that 1t may
again grow (spring up from the root
but man dieth and where Is he?" IL
has but a question mark at the best.
Redemption alone meets the needs
of the human soul. 1t is a redeeming
saviour that satisfactorily reveals
God, not nature. 1t is the Christ Of
God that declares God is Love and is
Father, not Nature. Not nature but
Jesus who offers pardon and forgive
ness for sin. 1t Is He who lifts the
ban of death and makes IL possible
that sinful, guilty man may live. Not
Nature but Christ who says. II am

Nature may say:

That made the mountains rise.
That spread the flowing seas

but 1t is another who puts 1t into tbs
sad heart of man to sing,
There is a fountain filled with
! blood,
Drawn from Immanuel1s veins:
And sinners plunged beneath thai

The dying thief rejoiced to see

NATURE AND REDEMPTION

The Christians Holy Book pays
high tribute to the beauties, the won
ders and the eloquence of nature.
The psalmist was SO lost in wonder
and admiration as he WED the heav-
ems, the moon and stars that he de-
clared there was no speech nor lang
uage where their voice was not heard
and as he compared man with these
things he wondered that God would
be mindful of insignificant man.
The language of Jesus abounds
with fine references to the birds OF
the air. 'the flowers of the grass"
1.-The lille of the valley" etc. Things
animate and inanimate were called
as witnesses and as illustrations. He
lived close to nature and loved it.
The Bible exalts man. II puts him
at the head of all creatures. 1t sees
him made in the image of God. 1t
makes him but a little lower than the
angels and crowns him with glory
and honor. Yet Notwithstanding all
this the book sees the natural man
natures mani In a less complement
tary light. The ant al teach him
go to the ant, thou sluggard and
consider his ways" The natural IN
stinct of the brute is sometimes OF
higher order. "The OK knoweth his
owner and the ass his masters crib,
but my people do not know, my
people do not consider" THE natural
man natures mani does not know
the things of God, neither can he
know them for they are spiritually
discerned."
In the Book nature is called upon
to illustrate and to teach not so much
to extoll nature as to point to nat
ure's God. The same usage Is follow
ed in Christian ~hymnology. Some OF
the stateliest verses ever written are
of this order. Joseph Addison's great
hymn, Creation is such. Hear his as
he sings:
THE spacious armament on high,
With ali the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining
frame,
Their great Original proclaim.
The unwearied sun, from day tc
day,
Does his Creators power display,
And publishes to every land
The work of an Almighty hand.
What though in solemn silence al
MOVE rOuiu tuC uaIh sOttSos
ballb
What though no real voice no
sound
Amid the radiant orbs be found?
In reasons ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice;
Forever singing as they shine,
The hand that made us is Divine.
But Nature, stately, beautiful, ma
~jestic, as she Is, has her limitations
,"Nature, you point to God. You sa,
that you are of God, that without hin
you would not be and we would no
be. But nature, what is GodT' Smil
ingly she replies, God is Creator.
but Nature, that does not satisf,
Is that all you can say?" The radiant
beautiful one replies THAT Is all"
The trouble is Nature seems col
and heartless. She can not answe
the deep questions of the soul. He

: He leaps with a wall into beinl
