¥*>-
Open up the hen house on bright
days.
Intensive methods are needed in the
dairy as well as in othef lines of farm-
ing.
Clean, dry bed fo'r the horses should
be the rule. A horse that has been
compelled to lie on bare boards or
upon wet manure Is in no condition
for work the next day.
Do your hauling from the fields or
to the fields in the morning before the
sun has had a chance to soften up the
ground and cause the wagon wheels to
pick up lots of sticky mud.
Don't put off until the last minute
the looking over the incubators and
brooders. Be sure they are in good
shape. If they need new parts or old
ones need repairing, attend to it now.
Keep picked up around the home-
stead, and around the stock buildings,
too. Nothing is so sure an index of
the character of the farmer as the
condition of the grounds about his
place.
Are you carelessly letting the liquid
manure go to waste? It is the most
valuable part of the manure. Save it
either by tight gutters running to a
cistern, or use plenty of absorbents to
soak it up.
Foot-rot in cattle should be treated
with water three parts and sulphuric
acid one part after the affected part
has been thoroughly cleansed, or it
should be smeared with pine tar and
a bandage tied between the claws and
about the pastern to keep out the dust.
Have a manure shed where you can
keep the manure spreader standing.
Have it handy to the barn so that the
manure can be dumped into the spread-
er when the barn is cleaned each
morning. Then when the wagon is
full haul to the field and put on the
land at once.
Money made by farming is the clean-
est, best money in the world. It is
made in accordance with God's first
law, under honest influences, away
from the taint of trade, or the fierce
heat of speculation. It fills the pockets
of the farmer at the expense of no
other. His gain is no man's loss; but
the more he makes the better for the
world at large.
Plan for a little early lettuce next
season. Seed can be sown in hotbed
or greenhouse in February or March
and transplanted to open ground out-
doors as soon as a piece of land can
be put in thorough working order.
Some time may be gained by growing
the plants in hotbed or cold frame
covered by glass sash and protected
by mats or shutters when necessary.
Make the farm and the home some-
thing besides just a place for work if
you would tie the boys and the girls
to it. The farmer who thinks only
of the work he is going to get out of
his children and who thinks more of
the farm and the stock than he does
of his boys and girls need not be sur-
prised that they are anxious to break
away from the farm when they are
old enough to choose for themselves.
"The time is at hand when the farm-
er will wake up from his Rip Van
Winkle sleep and look after his busi-
ness interests the same as other busi-
ness men do," writes one of our farm-
ers. Yes, some of them are already
awake and are pushing methods and
measures by which farmers are get-
ting closer together and forming plans
whereby they may have something to
say as to the prices they will get for
their produce.
Not much fun pulling the frozen
cornstalks from the outdoor shock.
Remember last winter when you were
doing the same thing you promised
yourself that you would either build a
silo and put it up or you would shred
it and store it in the barn loft, but you
didn't, and now you are having an un-
comfortable and disagreeable task of
getting the fodder to the stock and
they are not finding it very good eat-
ing. Let it be a lesson to ou, and
be sure and plan to have tilings dif-
ferent another winter.
Push the fattening pigs to nitukel
condition.
Feed green bone if you would tet
best results from your flock.
Best rerults in fattening hogs are
obtained where the basis of the ration
is corn.
Is your hog pen filthy because of im-
proper drainage. Remedy the defect
at once.
.Ease the burdens of the wife by
cleaning your boots thoroughly before
entering the house.
Part of the winter leisure ought to
be used for the repairing and painting
of the farm machinery.
If you cannot get a stand of alfalfa
grow red clover or blue grass as pas
turage for your hogs.
Remember, the best seed is none
too good. It is a losing game to labor
over seed of low germinating power.
Begin a course of reading for the
winter months which will better
equip yon for the farm work next
season.
You need grit and so do the hens.
The right kind of grit in you will
make it certain that the right kind of
grit gets into the hens.
While sheep are growing wool and
making mutton for you they are clean-
ing the fields of weeds and spreading
valuable manure over the land.
Study your flock so as to know
which are your best birds. Then use
the selected stock for breeding pur
poses next spring and thus build up
your flock in quality.
The sheep that are left fo fill up on
the frost-bitten, snow-covered pasture
will not thrive, you may be sure. Give
hay and grain ration if you want tn
make your flock profit earners.
In feeding growing stock remember
that there is need of a constantly in-
creasing ration. They need food to
build the larger frame and they need
food to supply the daily bodily needs.
The right treatment will remove
ring bone on young horses. If the ani-
mal walks on the toe use a high-heeled
shoe. When inflammation is active
adopt soothing measures, and then se-
vere blistering or even firing may be
resorted to.
The form of the skull of the hog de-
pends on nutrition, health and the em-
ployment of the muscles of the head
and neck in rooting. Where hogs are
well nourished, their skulls are round
er and firmer than in the case of hogs
poorly nourished. Rooting helps to de-
velop a longer skull and snout.
It is claimed by a French naturalist I
that if the world should becofne bird-
less, man could not inhabit it after |
nine years' time, in spite of all the
sprays and poisons that could be man
ufactured for the destruction of in-
sects. The insects and slugs would
simply eat all the orchards and crops
in that time.
Dried refuse from tomato canneries
analyzed by the Ontario experiment
station shows a content of 2.54 per
cent, nitrogen, 3.28 per cent, phos
phorlc acid hnd 0.64 per cent, potash.
Assuming 75 per cent, of moisture for
the material as it leaves the factory,
the amounts would be: Nitrogen.
0.64 per cent., phosphoric acid 0.82 per
cent, and potash 0.16 per cent., a com-
position comparing favorably with that
of barnyard manure.
Dairy farmers will watch with inter-
est the joint investigations of the Wis
cousin and Illinois experiment sta
tions on tuberculosis cows. The work
of either.station will serve as a check
on that of the other, inasmuch as the
experiments at Madison will be similar
to those at Urbar.a. The bacteriolo
gists of the tw(V stations will be in
charge of Ihe work. Inasmuch as Illi-
nois and Wisconsin are the two great-
est dairy stations in the country, the
co-operation of these two stations will
be of great significance In the new
movement to eradicate tuberculosis
from the herds of the country.
ASCENSION OF
OUR LORD
Sundiy School Lenon for Jan. 3, 1909
Specially Arranged for This Paper
Here is a move in the right direc
tion. It is nothing else than a pro-
posal on the part of the Kansas ex-
periment station to begin a study of
boys and girls. As Prof. McKeever
puts it: "If a farmer has a horse that
balks in the harness or a cow that
acts queerly and runs off the reserva-
tion he can write to the nearest gov-
ernment experiment station ana
secure a printed bulletin or
a letter on the subject from
a high-salaried expert, but if the
refractory creature chances to be his
16-year-old son or his fledgling daugh-
ter he has no recourse other than to
fight the case out alone, assisted per
haps only by a despairing wife." Ten
or more bulletins will be Issued ileal
ing with the best way to handle this
best crop cd the farm."

l'LACE IN HISTORY The close of Ihe
earthly life of Jesus Christ. Tile birth
of the Christian religion.
Comment and Suggestive Thought.
The life of Jesus on earth, including
(1) What he was; (2) What he did;
(3) What he taught; was an essentia"
condition of all his power during the
centuries of Christianity.
It made him a real being to us
while unseen on earth.
It illustrates his teachings for all
ages.
It was a perpetual ideal, by which
to test all we are and do and teach.
It is in itself a supreme power to
influence character.
Illustrations.—I know of no discor
dant note among educators in the tes
timony that "The greatest thing a
teacher ever brings to a child is not
the subject matter, but the uplift
which comes from heart contact with
a great personality."
President Charles F. Thwing records
the results of "a very interesting
study of 50 reprelentative men to
questions involving the best thing col-
lege does for a man." The entire drift
of the testimony was that the most
these men got from college was inspi-
ration from life contact with great
leaders.
"No nobler feeling," says Carlyle,
"than admiration for one higher than
himself dwells in the breast of man.
It is to this hour, and at all hours, the
vivifying Influence in man's life."
The promise of the Father was the
special, overflowing gift of the Holy
Spirit, as we learn from verses 5
and 8, and the fulfillment of the
promise in the next chapter. The Fa-
ther had promised this gift through J
Joel (2:28, 29) as shown in Acts 2:
17, 18; through Isaiah (32:15; 44:3);
Haggai (2:5); Zechariah (4:6; 12:10). J
12:10).
The promise is called The Promise, j
for it really includes all the promises
of the coming of the kingdom of God. j
The disciples were the instrumen-
tality used by the Great Leader. Gcxl j
works not only directly on the hearts
of men, but through his people on
other men. God in men is the power i
through which the kingdom of God has J
so far come, and is to come in its
fullness. "The agencies he employs j
must, by their very nature, be the J
Divine Spirit and the human disciple." j
—Klrtley. The achievements of the
apostles in the story of the Acts were j
the account of what Jesus continued i
to do after his ascension. The author j
of "The Fifth Gospel" (I. e., Saint j
Paul's gospel as recorded in his epis- j
ties, many of them written before the j
first of our four gospels,) shows that j
the apostles not only preached the facts 1
of Jesus' life, but the significance of |
the life which Jesus continued to
teach them through Iheir own ex 1
perience guided and inspired by the
Holy Spirit.
1. They had their ideal in the prom-
ise of the Father.
2. They were imbued with power by
the Holy Spirit.
3. They were changed, transformed,
by the Holy Spirit, into new men
fitted to carry on the work of Christ.
4. They knew the facts about Christ,
and they experienced liis presence and
his teachings, so that they could be
witnesses to the whole world.
It was ai this time, doubtless, that
the great change came over his body
described In 1 Cor. 15:51-53. For such
a change is signified by his appear
ance as John saw him (Rev. 1:12-16) j
The Importance of (he Ascension.— j
1. It is the one fitting ending to the
earthly life of Jesus. Coming from
the Father he returns to the Father.
2. The last view of Jesus is not on \
the cross, but going home in glory.
3. It kept before the disciples the
fact that he is their ever living Saviour.
We do not worship and serve and
trust a dead Savious, but one who Is
alive forevermore.
4 He can rule and guide his people
infinitely better there than on any
earthly place, where but few could
come into his near presence.
5. It places Jesus before all men as |
their ideal.
6 "It enables us to realize his di
vinity, without losing his humanity."
7. It gives us the (rue idea of his j
kingdom as a spiritual kingdom of j
righteousness.
8. The doctrine of the ascension
with its hope of future glory, with its j
transfigured son of man I not son of I
Jew or Greek, but of man) on the j
throne, "adds new dignity to life," for
the lowliest shall be changed into tho
likeness of his glorified body.

$20.00 per acre as a result of one crop.
Spring wheat, winter wheat, oats, barley,
flax and peas are the principal crops, while
