Feed 3 Per Cent Grain Ration
Figs on alfalfa pasture will mum
more profit per pig If fed a grain ra

weight, according to data of the
North Platte Experimental Substa
tion. The pig Is a pork-producing
machine and like other machinery
is most nrofitable when run at full
capacity A pigs stomach la bo

alfalfa alone to make a profitable
growth. Pigs cannot produce the
best gain when on pasture alone or
when on pasture supplemented by
only a small a noun t of grain. Testa
made at the North Platte Substation
show clearly thAt two and one-half
to three pounds of corn dally per 100
pounds of live weight of the pigs
produced not only the greatest gain
but the greatest profit. The higher
the price of corn, the smaller the
profit In favor of the heavier ration
However, on a market quoting corn
at 70 cents and hogs at 7 V4 cents, the
3 per cent ration Is still the most
profitable.

LESSON FOR JULY 2

BERIA.
LESSON TBXT Acts ITH-tf (. I
TbM. a:l-U). I
GOLDEN TEXT Him did Ood mU !
with his right hrnd to k a 9r.n0 ami
a Savior. Acts IL
To plaoe a modern war map by tha
aide of the ancient one will help to
make the places Paul visited mora
real. In both of the events of this
lesson reference is made to the read
ing and use of the Scriptures, and
teachers should use that to emphasise
the reading of the Bible by both old
and young. There is real patriotism
as well as safety and a liberal educa
tion In Bible study. Paul reached
Thessalonica about twenty years after
the establishment of the Christian
church, remained perhaps five or six
months and then went on to Berea.
Modern Salonlki has been since tha
Roman days of Thessalonica an Im
portant center, thriving and prosper
ous of later years till the recent Balkan-Turkish
war.
I. At Thessalonica (vv. 1-9) (1) Rea
sonlng (vv. 1-5) (a) The place. On
this second Journey Silas and Timo
thy (v. 14) were Paul's companions.
Recently driven from Philippl (I
Tbess. 2:1-2) they at once repaired
to the synagogue upon reaching tha
city, knowing that there they could
gain a foothold with both Jew and
Gentile. It was Paul's usual means
(v. 2 Am. R. V.). Doubtless during
the two weeks the disciples used every
opportunity for discussion. Paul made
use of the Sabbath day of assembly al
though Christians met on the first day
of the week for their own distinctive
service (Acts 20:7). He also reasoned
from the Scriptures which the Jews
so highly revered. The best agent
for doing personal work Is the word
of God (Eph. :17; Jer. 23:29; Jaa.
1:11; I Pet. 1:23). (2) The method.
Paul employed three, (a) He rea
soned that Christ must suffer. Why?
(See Isa. B3:: Math. 26:21; Heb.
9:22; John 19:36). Paul had only tha
Old Testament We have also ths
New to bring to our aid. (b)That
"Christ must rise from the dead" Ilk
Peter at Pentecost Paul proved this
from the Old Testament. If we wfH
allow the Holy Spirit to "open ths
Srrlnf uras" to us we .will find blgy
new and old and vxciaim tmrt wiiutb
as "once I was blind now I see. (0)
He "alleged and affirmed" (set forth),
e. g., gave testimony that "this Jesus
whom I proclaim unto you Is the
Christ." Paul knew that the histor
ical Jesus was the glorified Christ, for
he had met him "in the way" to Da
mascus. Paul's manner of life in tha
city as he lived and preached Jesus
was much that It contributed greatly
to his success. His "manner of Ufa
was blameless" (Acts 26:4); he sup
ported himself (T Thes. 2:9; II Thes.
3:8). (1) Reception (v. 6-10). At
first these men were received as frost
God by large numbers (v. 4. Sea
I Tbess. 1:6-10). But tha gospel then
as now causes divisions. Not all pro
fessed followers of God know or ac
cept the gospel. Paul's success
aroused the envy of the Jews Just as
every successful servant Is envied by
those of lesser light The charge
brought against Paul and Silas (v. 6)
was In large measure true, and It was
a good testimony and tribute to their
effectiveness. It was also in accord
with Christ's prophecy. (Math. 10:34;
Luke 12:53). It Is the business or the
gospel to accomplish Just such re
sults. We need more of such as shal
turn the wrong side down and the
right side up. These men were ac
cused of "saving that there is an
i.ther King, one Jesus."
II. At Berea. (v. 10-15). The dis
ciples' departure by night was an act
of prudence (Math. 10:23). and Paul
onMnued his great Interest In the con
verts he had left. See the two letters
nddiessed to that church. Reaching
itcrea Paul began as usual to preach
' fiis first of all to the Jews. The
'ittzen8 of Berea were "more noble"
: . :id have continued to this day as a
-eat inspiration to Bible students
1 witness the Rerean series of lesson
helpsi. (l) They "received the word
v ith readiness of mind." There was a
hunger for spiritual food and they
partook of it with a relish. Some re
ceive truth under compulsion while
others hunger for it. (See I Tbess.
1:7: 3:10). (2) "Searched" (exam
ined) the Scriptures dally. (2) Each
day they sought the mind of God.
Much of our present day Bible study
Is interesting and enlightening, but la
not energizing nor evangelistic be
cause it looks upon the Bible merely
as literature.
We need to study the Bible as did
the Bereans to know love and obey
Jesus as our Savior and king.
We need to study It as our guide
and counsel through Ufa
Those who "believed" as the result
of such preaching and study were
well grounded (I These. 1:10).
After several weeks of such blessed
ministry the Thessalonian Jews In
terfered, "stirring up and tinubllng tb
multitude" v. 14 Am. R. V.i
