The pastor will week attending Platte. The sessions do not begin till the evening of tho Gth, but tho Brotherhood meeting begins Tuesday, The Woman's Missionary meeting be gins Monday night, and while we are going so far we are going to take in the whole of the meetings. Ar.d then Mr. Learner has to bo there on Tuesday, and so as to have company wo go with him. at that. What, after .all, doe.s a man have savo the lovo oC God that makes him anything at all? Unlives bo absent this. and dies and plays n very Utile part synod nt North in the affairs of tho world. It is Uoil that aliiiles anil is over nil. ine affairs of man after all are but small in tho great world of the ages, and smaller yet In the sight of God. Ho provides, he gives, and ho takes, and what is n man that he should ignore God. It is noblo to fear Him.- V.e have in mind tho beginning of the catechism class some -time for the early fall. Wc also have in mind a coursd tif study which will be different than any wo have over undertaken, and the method of it will be different than any wo have ever used, but we believe it will be a good change. There ought to no n good number for tho class this fall. If any of the parents havo children whom they think ought to bo in that instruction class, you will consult the pastor and confer n favor on him, us well i' otting the young folks in line n . le work. A good deal of the s. . s of the class instruction depends un tho parents. Remember Farm Bureau Field Notes C. It. Young, County Agent For tho past three months tho hogs of this county have been un usually healthy. However, with the cooler nights and, on most farms, the change In feed to now corn, com plaints of sick hogs are becoming more general. Investigation shown that most of these arc cases of pneu monin. A view of tho swine yquar ters on farms where calls come from generally reveal tho fact that tho sheds are very full of fino dust and that in most instances tho hogs aro sleeping along tho. side of buildings or hay stacks. This dlscaso charac terizes itself by heavy breathing, wnmr fnvni mill n lnss of nlinntlto. ..W... . v. ........ ., . . - 4I .

Wo pre sume you have been doing this all the time, btt this is n special in struction, and it ought to be the "finishing" of all tho teaching you have given. This leads directly to the confirmation, when the child takes this baptismal vows upon him self. All of our parents ought to desire this for their childion, this is the way we enter tho Lutheran ciiurcn ordinarily, when wo tire young. Wo heard a pastor say tho other day thnt there were none re ceived at all in the church of which he was pastor unless they had re ceived their instruction in the cate chism. We have never been as strict as this with adults, but it is good. We lay a great deal of stress upou it for tho young. We have them in structed in tho things of life and give years to their schooling. Wo ought to give some time to their instruction in religious things. The life and conduct, tho inner spirit is worth more than tho outer attain ments. To havo n good education is a good thing indeed, but it would no better to have less education in the tin ee Its and have a godly .spirjtjthau to have n lot of learning and be lost with it. We better teach the young to fear God. Every man ought to fear God. Ho has made us and all there is in the world. Sometimes wo think wo aro pretty big and worth a lot. Wo wonder how many ever stop to think what they arc in comparison with the world, say, for size. I know wo go around it, and we build cities with skyscrapers, and we do n' lot of things, even fly up into tho air. Suppose the world were the slzo of an egg and every thing was of pro portional size. Tho mountains would disappear, and could, not bo found, You could not find n man with a microscope. We crush an ant, and do not think much of it, but a man would have to be 85,555 feet high to be n mean between tho ant nnd the earth. When David wrote of men that they were but worms of the dust, if he meant size he made it big over until the assessment has been in tide G. A. Thurston, treasurer of the Equitable Trust company, ol Oma ha, is in Sioux City, and is endeavor ing to borrow the money from Sioux City business men. Mr. Thurston last night said he expected to have the deal closed early next week, o West Point Democrat: By n !) to 0 score the local high school foot ball team defeated Homer high scho.il in a game played here Friday after noon, September 24. The teams were (ulte evenly matched. However, the visiting team had the advantage ol having older and more experienced men. They also havo the record of only qno defeat last year. The game started with West Point kicking off, when Homer carried tho ball back tj her 40 yard line. Hero they made their downs by end runs ind fakes through center. Wes,t Point then held them for downs and Honor had to kick. The first half ended with a tio score, 0 to 0. In the second half McDonald scored a touch down and ICnse kicked goal, which gave West Point 7 points. Later on in tho game West Point punted and McDermltt. Homer's' quarter back missed catch. Lothrop, Homer's ing half back, picked up tlio ball on his own 10 yard lino and tried to run but was forced back across his own goal line, .scoring 2for West Point, and the game ended 1) to 0. This Is only the second" fjamq of the season and the West Point team showed a great improvement in their tactics of playing. If they keep on as well as they nnvo started they will have pry little trouble in cleaning up their schedule in flnu shape. Curl l.niulis Aihocalcil Where tho sheep raiser is fairly well equipped breeding ho that the lambs come in March is advocated by tho Stato College of Agriculture. A gestation of uround 150 days menus that breeding must be done in Octo ber for March I limbing. Where ivi moderately warm barn will be avail able nt lambing time, ths lambs should not come probably before April, foi chilled lambs ty;u hard to save. There aro several advantages In having early lambs. Early lambs are not so subject to worms as late lambs; early lambs are big enough to eat tho first grass in the spring; early lambs are ready for ninrket bo fore the western sheep begin to beai down on the price; the farmer has more time to euro for lambs that come in March than ho has in April. Tho College recommends the use of purebred Hampshire, Shropshire or Oxford rams to breed up the farm flock. A College circular called "The Lamb and the Farm Flock" may be obtained freo, en out. If it comes from earth it should bo leveled and wet with water enough to. make it pack. This should then be heavily bedded with clean, bright straw. Every few days the straw should bo removed and new added. In wetting the dust it is well to add 12 or II per cent of a goqd coal tar dip which will serve as a disin fectant. Hog houses should always have good ventilation whore largo numbers aro quartered together, but they hsould not havo u draft blowing on them. Hogs that havo pneumonia aro al ways more or less constipated. They should therefore bo given n heaping tablcspoonful of salts for each 100 pounds livo weight. If they are shut off feed, and tho salts put in good slop, no trouble should be ex perienced in getting them to tnkoit. Judicious feeding is also advised in cases of pneumonia. But, let us not feel too sure that our hogs have somo minor disease whon they become sick, for nt pres ent eight counties in Nebraska aro reporting numerous csaes. Sick hogs should be Isolated until bonieono has had an opportunity to diagnose, tho case. In case" of doiibt 'tho wise thing to do is to vaccinate the herd with serum and virus. When onco tho disease has gained ontrnnco into n neighborhood the only asfeguard is for everyone to vaccinate.
