sible for him to alter his system In

cials advise that he get back to the
old plan which was aptly described as
‘living at home’ This means not so
much remaining on the farm as It
does deriving every practicable prod
uct for consumption from the farm
"The average American farmer
knows how to raise other crops than
those on which he specializes but It
has seemed good business or at least
expedient to devote bla energies to
very few or even a single cash crop
and buy his necessities just as Is
done In other specialized Industries

Satisfactory Than Seeding Larger
Areas— Smaller Lota Are
ConvenienL
(Prepared y the United State Depart-
ment ol Agriculture)
For health and for economical use
of the pasturage It Is undesirable to
keep sheep on the same ground more
than from ten to fourteen days say
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture In discussing
the question of raising sheep on tem-
porary pastures The most generally
useful size of lot Is one acre to -25
sheep This area on nn average fur-
nished In experiments 14 days’ feed
Arranging the size of lots on the
basis of one acre to 25 sheep Is more
satisfactory than seeding larger' areas
and using hurdles to permit advance
to fresh feed each day Less labor Is
necessary and by going to entirely
new ground after ten or twelve days
the danger of picking up parasite
larvae on ground grazed over earlier
Is prevented With a one-acre lol for
25 ewes or correspondingly larger
ones for larger flocks It Is an added
advantage If their length la two or
three tiroes the breadth
With a heavy crop of forage Chat
would last longer than was considered
safe to bold the flock on the same
ground a short piece of cross fence
can readily be put down to divide the
pnsture Into two parts The smaller
lots ore also convenient with purebred
flecks to provide for the separate pas-
turing of smaller lots of ram and
ewe Iambs
Movable fencing Is not likely to be
satisfactory for tbe outside-lot fences
unless the w-hote area to be used lies
In a long strip with side fences when
only two end pieces need to be In place
at one time for the ground being
grazed -

-A- fear's Teaching to Antioch
When God was about to launch tba
missionary enterprise among the Gen-
tiles lie arranged for a uew religious
center Antioch was admirably
adapted for such a center The upper
classes were Greeks and used the
Greek language The government
officials were Romans and used the
Latin tongue While the masses were
Syrians sprinkled among them were
Jews who bad come for commercial
purposes also travellera from all parts
of the world were In evidence
1 A Religious Awakening at Antioch
(vv 10-21)
L The occasion (v 10a) Tbe perse-
cut Inn at Jerusalem scattered tho
disciples abroad This God permitted ’
In order to separate them from the
home people at Jerusalem
2 The preachers (v 10a) They
were ordinary men and women not
officials hut they were filled with tbe
yearning desire for lost souls and
witnessed of tbe Lord Jesus In tbe
power of tbe Holy Ghost
3 What they - preached (w 19b
JO) They prquehed the “Word" and
he “Lord Jesus" All who preach tbe
Word will preach the Lord Jesus
for He is Its center The real reason
why there are Dot conversions today
Is the failure of ministers to preach
the Word i
II Barnabas Sent to Inspect the
Work at Antioch (vv 22-24)
This was a wise selection
L The character of Barnabas (v
24) He was a good man It Is
highly Important In sending a man
to follow up a work of the Spirit that -his
character he good He not ouly must
be of an unblemished character hut
his sympathies must be broad He
must be capable of entering into full :
ppreciatlon of the things about him
Much mischief often results from
'sending Injudicious men to look after
the Lord's work He was full of the '
Holy Spirit This Is an essential
qualification for pastoral work Only
Spirit-filled man can appreciate the
workings of the Spirit of God He
was also a man of great faith
2 Work done by Barnabas (v 23)
He gladly endorsed the work and -earnestly
exhorted them to steadfastly
continue In the faith clinging unto -the
Lord There are many allurements ‘
to tempt young Christians The re-
joicing of Barnabas shows that he
was a man who could rejoice in the
work of others '-He did more than
Inspect the work for many peopiq
were added unto the Lord Doubt
'ess he preached
III Barnabas 8rings Saul (vv 25v
20)
The work grew to such an extent
that help was needed Barnabas bad
the good ' juginent to seek Saul for
this Important work Barnabas knew
that the bringing of Saul would mean
Ills taking a secondary place It Is
ihe duty of Christian leaders to seek
out men who are qualified for the
Lord's work and bring them from their
places of obscurity setting them to
work In the Lord’s vineyard There
are many men In obscurity which It
requires a Barnabas to bring forth :
IV Tha Disciples First Called Chris-
tiane (v 26b) ' 4
They were not called Christiana lit
derision as is so often asserted It
was a consequence of Saul and Barna-
bas teaching there for a year that
they were railed Christiana The name
was a consequence of the teaching In
all Saul’s teaching he showed the
unique relation which the Christian
sustains to Christ Since the body
closely resembles its head Christ they
were called Christiana ’
V Tha Church at Antioch Sends Re-
llef to Jerusalem (vv 27-30)
The Holy Spirit through Agabus
made known a great dearth through-
out the world ' This came to pats la
tbe days of Claudius Cesar Every
man according to bis ability deter-
mined to send relief onto the brethren
which dwelt In Judea They mad up
money for the poor saints at Jerusalem
aad sent It hy tha bands of Barnabas
and SanL This act net only proved
the gennlneuena of the work at Am
dark but It emphasised the fact that
