The young pig wants to be got qut Into the sunshine and on to the dirt j as early In life as possible. j Sheep at six years of age lose their j teeth; hence they should be fattened ! and sold before this period.

Have you considered how impossi ble it is for the half starved ewe to properly nourish her offspring? This Is a good time to put a square of tar paper in the bottom of each nest box for the benefit of lice. i Do not neglect to provide clean water for the poultry. Dirty water is dirty at any season of the year. If the strawberries have been picked ! two seasons, spade up the beds and i sow the land for some late-planted i crop.

Whenever hogs are confined to one feeding place a feeding floor should be provided. A lump of sugar or a bite of apple will do more in the training of a colt than a whip. Farming on a business basis elim inates small mules just as It displaces small horses. A lamb that is large and strong will stand weaning better, and also winter better. Many practical hog raisers are now using artificial wallows, built of either cement or lumber. A good plan, followed by many poul tryraen, is to mark the early monitor* for breeding stock. For aphis on sw r eet peas, use Insect powder or tobacco dust, applying with a small bellows. Five or six pounds of corn are usu ally required to produce a pound of pork in dry-lot feeding. If pigs are well fed they will usual ly wean themselves at the proper time, without any trouble. The key to the bee business is bee forage and the best bee forage known at present is sweet clover. If a man cgnnot feed hogs as well as they should be fed, he ought to sell them to a man that will.

To thoroughly clean milk utensils they first should be rinsed with cold w-ater to remove all particles of milk. Gather up the dead branches and burn them, as they are apt to harbor bark beetles, one of the worst orchard pests. - Move the colony houses and brood coops on fresh ground every day or two, and the chicks will grow faster. A chicken takes naturally to having feed handed it, but the turkey is al most self-supporting until cold weather. Turkeys always find a ready sale and are almost clear profit. There is always a demand. The market is never glutted. The little chicks do best on corn | bread made of sour milk, soda and cracked corn. They should be fed on something clean. The eggs from the matured hen will hatch better and produce stronger chicks than the eggs of pullets. They are usually larger, too. Unlike other poultry, the turkey never has been thoroughly domesti cated, but has remained practiqally a wild bird in its requirements. The meat of yarded poultry is ak ways more tender than that of fowls having free range, due to the extreme muscular development of the latter. Never let young chickens perch un- ; til their breast bone can endure the strain, as a crooked breast bone de creases a fowl’s market value, as well as breeding value. A yield of 12 tons of silage may easily be obtained from one acre of corn. Allowing 20 pounds of silage as a daily ration, one acre of corn will furnish four cows with silage for 200 days. New England dairymen find it prof itable to feed grain to dairy cows even when they are on June pasture. Can not we afford soma corn fodder for our western cows now that pastures are drying up. Chickens should have good, sweet j feed to make good eggs, the same as a cow' should have sw'eet grains to make good sweet milk.

The resurrection of Christ was s | the seal of God's approval upon the c | truthfulness of the 1 : ~ “J claims of ' 3 ’The claims of Christ imply eith '• ■W f er divinity or v blasphemy. Jesus ||B9j Christ. In view of 'JjfgafM his claims, was either God or the , ! vL. most colos s a 1 - Hgy fraud, or the t i M,’ T greatest impostor i ? ' that ever lived. I His claims stand J unequaled in the history of the hu- \ man race, and on I the absolute ful fillment, even to the very letter, of all these claims, ( Christ bases his right to divine recog nition. He claimed that it was his j prerogative to forgive sin; that he was the only way to God; that outside of him there was no peace and no way of access to the Father; that unless he was trusted and believed in with a j whole heart there was absolutely no : hope of seeing heaven; that he was j the divinely appointed Redeemer of | the world, and that the world's re ; demption and salvation depended ab- j solutely upon him alone; that the power of life and death was in his hands; and that all the Old Testament predictions received their fulfillment In him. So strong were these claims j that on one occasion the Jews were exasperated with him and said, “What sign showest thou us if thou be all j that thou clalmcst to be 1” In answer to this challenge. Christ referred to his resurrection and said, “If I do not rise again from the dead, do not be lieve my claim.” On his resurrection, therefore, Jesus Christ based the vin j dicatlon of all hls claims—as Paul says, “He was declared to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead.” So k long as Christ’s resurrec tion remains an accredited fact of his tory, then that Galilean peasant, Jesus of Nazareth, is indeed and in truth the Son of the Most. High God, and the Saviour of the world. ! Christ’s enemies realized the im portance of Jesus’ resurrection, and t because of this, bribed the soldiers to say that the disciples came and stole away hls body. What a comfort the resurrection is j {o the believer, who has placed his hope and confidence In the life to come In Jesus Christ the Savior of the world! The world may deride, and mock, and sneer, and ridicule, but the j believer exclaims, “I know that my Redeemer llveth,” and this is ample ! evidence that the believer’s faith has I not been misplaced. 11. The resurrection of Christ is a I guarantee of our own resurrection. j Paul’s thoughtful and inspired infer ence from Christ’s resurrection is ; this: “Because he lives, we shall live j also.” In the words of Dr. Parker, i the apostle is continually amplifying, j Place an acorn in his hand and imme- | dlately he feels the weight of a | mighty oak. Give him one little bulb, j and immediately you have touched the j fountains of hls eloquence and he de- ! scribes gardens and paradises and | heavens Paul saw the whole In the j part—he saw our resurrection in j Christ. If Christ rose from the dead, then the graveyard is not a permanent | thing. The apostle will have every little child brought back. The resur- ! rection shall be accompanied by a about—does this shout intimate or Big- | nlfy the spirits leaving heaven and go ing lo the graveyard claiming their j bodies? Who knows? Without the resurrection of Christ. ; there is no certainty of our own resur rection and that of our loved ones. If I Christ he not risen then all who have died have perished eternally. Then j we have no hope of seeing those who i have gone before. But we have a better hope than that. “Because I j live, ye shall live also.” As In Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive. "For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised.” We shall rise j again. We shall meet those who have | j gone before us and who have fallen | asleep In Christ. We shall meet be- I yond the river. Firm and fast as the grave now ! seems to held the bodies of our dear j \ loved ones, it is now doomed as a | | fruit of Christ’s resurrection, and will j ; be compelled one day to relax its | j grasp, and yield them up to us again, j i Empty as was Joseph’s sepulchre j | when the angel stood before it, so | shall one day be every grave on earth, | ' when another angel shall sound his trumpet and It shall ring through all I the regions of the dead, and still all to | life again. j , 111. The resurrection of Christ man- I ifests his victory over death and the ! grave. Up to this time, death’s claims had been undisputed. All opposition to j that dead enemy had been without \ effect. Sin reigned in the realm and covereignty of death, and death reign- | ed in sin. The purpose of Christ’s i coming into the world and assuming j human form was that he might by his j | own death abolish death as the wages ! > | of sin. It was when he rose and left ! i the dead that Satan’s empire fell, j | Christ’s victory over death was dra- j raatically complete on the day of his | ' resurrection. We are told that bees when they sting leave their sting In ! the wound which they have caused, and j go away to die. You can hold a bee that has stung you between your thumb and finger and let it buzz, but it can not any longer harm yon. So death left irs sting In Christ on the cross and it, no longer has any terror for the believer. Death has now been vanquished; the grave has capitulat ed. and he that believes in Christ shall never die. Sympathy. Sympathy is the power of putting i ourselves in the places of other peo- | pie. It is just In such sympathy that so many of us fail; and it is sympathy j that means wise toleration. We must 1 be able to oppose at times, and oppose j vigorously.
