BELSHAZZAR'S FEAST AND FATE Sunday School Lesson for No?. 12, 1911 Specially Arranged (or This Paper LESSON TEXT Daniel 5. MEMORY VERSES-25, 28. GOLDEN TEXT "God shall bring ev ery work Into Judgment, with every se cret thing, whether It be good or whether it be evil." Eccl. 12:14. TIME The event described belongs to the last years of the exile, 11. C. 639, when Babylon was taken by Cyrus and his generals. The decree of return, and the first re turn, occurred a year or two later. PLACE Babylon the capital, enlarged, beautified and fortified by Nebuchadnes zar. Under the great Nebuchadnezzar Babylon rose in grandeur, power and extent, till It became tho most mag nificent and beautiful city of anti quity. In those days Dabylon was the metropolis of the world, the center of commerce, art and wisdom. The wealth of the world poured Into Its coffers. Dabylon was the strongest fortress In all the world. Delshazzar was the acting king of Rabylon at the time of this lesson, while his father Nabonldus was the nominal and legal king who lived and warred outside of the city. Cyrus had been advancing toward Dabylon. He gained a decisive victory over Nabonldus, on his way to the capital, and his army entered the city without fighting, and peace was pro claimed. A portion of the city, prob ably the citadel Including the royal palace, held out for some time, being occupied by the army of Delshazzar as a rallying place. Two or three weeks later Cyrus made his triumphal entry into the city.' Seven days later, the general of Cyrus stormed that part of Dabylon which had held out against his army, and on that night Delshazzar was slain. It was during this week that Delshazzer made a magnificent banquet to encourage .his generals and princes in their struggle with the Medo-Persian foe. At his feast, therefore, Delshazzar ought to remind his warriors of the old campaigns their forefathers had fought. He had in his possession the treasures which these forefathers had carried from Jerusalem when they conquered Israel and, as it seemed to them, Israel's Jehovah. His conduct thus was not merely that of a drunk en debauchee, but partly of a cool politician, when amid the applause of a thousand courtiers and army com manders he ordered the sacred ves sels of the Temple of Jerusalem to be brought into the hall of feasting. Such a scene would fill the hearts of the wine-Inflamed warriors and nobles to overflowing with daring, and also bring a worthy occasion for the di vine interference to encourage his people on the eve of their deliver ance. In the midst of the carousal, the king saw the fingers of a man's hand writing strange words, "letters of fate and characters of fear," on the wall in the full blaze of the candlestick, perhaps the great golden candlestick taken from the temple. There is something blood-curdling in the visi bility of but a part of the hand and its busy writing. Delshazzar, in his terror and horror, Bummoned his wise men to declare what the strange apparition and the blazing letters meant, and promised great rewards to the one who should interpret them; but all failed. Either they could not make sense of the let ters, or could not perceive what mean ing they had. Then the queen mother, mother ol Belshazzar, came In and epoke ot Daniel as one who had shown great gifts at Interpretation to his grandfsv ther Nebuchadnezzar. It took place before this boy king was born, and he, naturally, knew nothing about the story. Daniel was sent for, and came into the festival hall. He heard the king's offer, and spurning it, spoke brave and true words which might easily cost him his life. lie told the story of Nebuchadnezzar's fall from the height of pride, and accused him of dishonoring the true God. Then he Interpreted the message written on the palace walls: "Thou art weighed in the balances and found wanting." The want of religious restraints and motives, exposes one undefended to the powers of temptation. Delshazzar would enrich the splendor of his feast by the sacred goblets and dishes of gold that Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple at Jerusalem. They were brought, and made to be instru ments for drunken revelry and lust, and worship of idols, thus declaring that the idols had given them the vic tory over the God of the Jews. The social power of the wine cup, Its connection with feasting, comrade ship, hospitality, good cheer, is one of its most dangerous attractions. And one of the chief defences against its power lies in showing that good cheer, fellowship, sociability, eating together, may bo enjoyed in the highest degree where men "eat and drink and In communion sweet quaff immortality and Joy," without the fascination of the wine cup. Delshazzar lost his city and his king dom. So still by intemperance are men continually throwing away the kingdom God has prepared for them, the kingdom of manhood, the kingdom of self-control, the kingdom of the world in which we live and of its laws which we can compel to aid us in all that Is good. Tho days of intemperance are num bered when all the boys become total abstainers. The wise young man sees to it that the whole question of the use of intoxicating liquors is weighed in the balances of reason, of science, Of observation. OH The Tuberculin Test for Cattle in Michigan By WARD GILTNER, State Veterinarian At times state or municipal regula tions have forced cattle owners to sub mit their herds to the tuberculin test. Interstate trade in breeding or dairy cattle requires that the shipment be accompanied by a tuberculin test. Cat tle breeders generally do not object to this testing of cattle for interstate shipment, but there is a very great op position to enforced state or local tuberculin testing. It is not our pur pose to discuss this phase of the sub ject. We wish here to present to the farmers of Michigan a review of the methods and means by which they may avail themselves of the tubercu lin test when they have voluntarily decided to have the same made, or when the shipping of cattle for breed ing or other purposes makes a test necessary. We have always believed that the progressive farmer, for his own finan cial interest if not from reasons of pride, is ever anxious to anticipate legislation or coercive measures in the matter of sanitation. The sani tary ideal requires the tuberculin test of every cow supplying milk for hu man consumption in any of its forms, whether as milk, cream, butter, cheese or other milk preparations. The pure food agitation Is tending to force the farmer to approach this ideal; the farmer's own interests suggest the ad visability of voluntarily making the test. To those who have no other reason for making the test than a desire to know the condition of their herds as to tuberculosis, we will say that this test can be applied in one of two ways. Either of these ways necessi tates having the test made by one who is trained to do this work. The grad uate of a recognized veterinary col lege licensed to practice in Michigan should be able to make the test for you. In order to make it possible for more farmers to avail themselves of the test, the laboratory of bacteriology at M. A. C. has undertaken to train competent agricultural students to make the tuberculin test under the supervision of the laboratory, and there are now a considerable number of such young men who have satisfac torily made tests both on their own and on neighbors' herds. To either of these classes' of men, the veterinarian or the agricultural student trained as indicated above, the laboratory of bac teriology will furnish the tuberculin and the charts for recording the tem perature and other data without charge. The only requirements are that the work be properly done and that a record of the test be returned to the laboratory. Requests frequently come to us for information as to how an official tu berculin test of cattle (or mallein test of horses) can be secured to meet the requirements of officials In other states to which such animals are to be sent or taken. Michigan provides a state veterinarian, or, more correctly, she provides a state veterinarian, but does not outline his duties very clear ly or comprehensively. However, certain other states require that the state veterinarian of Michigan shall Indorse all tests or health certificates of horses or cattle shipped from Michigan into those Btates. At the present, the state veterinarian is also a member of the staff of tho labora tory of bacteriology at M. A. C. Anyone wishing to have an official test made of cattle or horses for ship ment into other states 6hould secure the services of a local veterinarian who is a graduate of a recognized vet erinary college and licensed to prac tice ifi Michigan, and have him send to the state veterinarian at East Lan sing for tuberculin or mallein for the number of cattle' or horses to be test ed. The material will be sent without expense to either the veterinarian or the owner of the stock. After the test Is made, the charts should be returned Immediately to the state veterinarian who will indorse them, if properly made out, and return to the proper party. Correspondence relative to this mat ter will receive careful attention. Cabbages may be successfully kept by placing them heads downward In a shallow trench and covering them over with earth. The covering should not be thick enough to keep the heads overly warm, and no harm Is done by letting the roots stick out through the earth. The earth and the outer leaves may freeze, but the thin cover ing will allow them to thaw out and not decay from heat. Tools and materials should be kept In their proper places. Do not keep all sizes of bolts or screws mixed to gether In a single receptacle, but fit up suitable boxes or bins, so that the sup plies may be accessible 'on short no tice. Celery may be kept until late in the winter by packing In boxes of sand and placing In a cool cellar. For this purpose the roots and all outer leaves should be left on unless they already show signs of decay. The proper maintenance of farm ma shines not only saves money but avoids danger to those who operate them. Keeping the harness and vehicles in repair may prevent a dangerous run away. A serious defect in the wool may not be strictly a disease, but It may be the result of a poor condition of the sheep due to some mistake or neglect in the management. Prepare the Chickens for the Market By J. 0. LINTON, Michigan Agricultural College Instructor in Poultry Husbandry Just now is a time when the chick ens are about ready to come in from the range. The pullets should be in their winter quarters that they may not be disturbed later when they are In laying, and the extras all those which are not to be used as layers or breeders, and the surplus v cockerels should be made ready for market. It is not expected that range cattle are in market condition without a few weeks finishing, nor can It be expect ed that range chickens are ready for table use without softening of tho muscle and adding a little fat. No ticeable charges can be made in a few days time and if from ten days to three weeks' careful feeding is prac ticed a neat profit may be realized as a result of the Increased weight and the superior quality of the meat. Most fatteners feed twice a day, 12 hours between feeds, and are care ful to have the food of such a con stituency that it will drop not run from the end of a wooden ladle and not lumpy enough that the birds can carry it away from the troughs. Feed ing may be done three times a day if preferred, the birds allowed all they will clean up in a short time and then the troughs cleaned and turned over. For ordinary fattening, whether it be done in crates or in small pens where the birds can be kept reason ably quiet, a mixture of two parts ground oats, two parts ground buck wheat and one part corn meal may be used; a mixture of equal parts ground oats, ground barley, and ground buck wheat; or If preferred, a mixture of two parts ground barley, two parts low grade flour, one part wheat bran. In either case the meal should be mixed Into a thin porridge with sour skim milk or buttermilk, but If It Is not convenient to procure the milk In sufficient quantities, meat and raw vegetable foods may be added to the ration. If the chickens have been on free range and had only hard grain foods It Is well to starve them 24 hours, then start them on the wet mash In small quantities, six or eight ounces for a dozen birds, and gradually in crease this amount till they are eat ing all they can. The appetites must be kept sharp, which may be done with variety of foods and addition of plenty of grit and charcoal. Thin shavings of tallow may be added the last few dcya and Is readily convert ed Into chicken fat which not only adds weight but gives the carcass a more finished appearance and assists greatly In cooking. After the birds have been properly finished off they should be killed as soon as possible or they will lose weight. However care should be taken to have them starved for a few hours before killing so as to leave the Intestines empty and the carcass In the best condition lor the market. Even the leghorns, which are hard ly meat type, may be made to take on a very delicious quality and addition al weight sufficient to realize a good profit. Method of Roasting Meat ' The principal difference between roasting and boiling Is In the medium In which the meat Is cooked. In boil ing, the flesh to be cooked is surround ed by boiling water; in roasting, by hot air, although In roasting proper much of the heat comes to the Joint as radiant heat. In both cases, if prop erly conducted, the fibers of the meat are cooked in their own Juices. When the meat alone Is to be eaten, either roasting, broiling or frying in deep fat is, when properly done, a more rational method than boiling, foi the Juices art) very largely saved. The shrinkage In a roast of meat during cooking is chiefly due to loss of water. At the same time small amounts of carbon and nitrogen are driven off and a little acid is produced which dissolves some of the constituents of the meat. The fat undergoes a partial decomposition into fatty acids and glycerin, and a little of it is volatilized. It is interesting and at the same time important to remember that the smaller the cut to be roasted the hot ter should be the fire. An intensely hot fire coagulates the exterior and prevents the drying up of the meat Juices. This method would not, how ever, be applicable to large cuts, be cause, meats are poor conductors of heat, and a large piece of meat ex posed to this Intense heat would be come burned and changed to charcoal on the outside long before the heat could penetrate to the Interior. Hence the rule: The smaller the cut to bo roasted, the higher the temperature to which It should be exposed. The broiling of a steak or a chop Is done on exactly this principle. An Intense heat should be applied to thor oughly coagulate the albumen and stop the pores, and thus prevent the escape of Juices. A steak exposed to an In tense heat for ten minutes Is thorough ly cooked, and has yet that rare. Juicy appearance which Is so desirable. Quoted from U. S.

Day City. Returning to the house after feeding the chickens, Mrs. A. Debbowskl, wife of a Deaver town ship farmer, found her seven-months-old baby lying dead on the floor, with Its clothing burned off.
