Indicated liy tlif results of u recent In
vestigation conducted by the United
States department of iiKrlctiltiiru ns
part of it comprehensive study of the
nii'iit situaUon In which Its specialists
have boon engaged for some time. The
direct profit from the raising of
calves In this section, the averages
Koom to establish, Is usually small, hut
the, InvcMlgutors point out that there
are other factors which make the prac
tice more advantageous than would
uppear at first sight
Among Uiese advantages are the
fact. Unit live stock on the farm pro
vides a homu market and n means of
utilization of farm roughage, some of
which might he wasted If not fed, and
the use of pastures which could not
lie employed profitably In any other
way. hive stock also alTords n ready
home market fot certain other crops,
which at times would have to be
hauled considerable distances to be
sold. Kinully, the presence of live
stock on the farm gives productive
employment throughout the year to
labor which at certain seasons might
otherwise be Idle. Live stock also
gives some Interest on capital Invested
on equipment which would produce
nothing If not utilized lit all seasons.
The fertilizing value of manure also
must be considered. When the-nj fac
tors are taken into consideration,
even though there appears to be
little or no profit as shown by cost
figures, It Is believed that in most In
stances tho farm Income Is greater be
cause of cattle having been kept on
the farm. Tho keeping of live .stock,
therefore, l.s to be recommended on
farms having large quantities of cheap
roughago available or having laud
which can be best utilized as pas
ture. Summary of Results.

In discussing the different costs the
Investigators point out that the differ
ence between the net cost und tho
gross cost for the different groups Is
partly duo to credit for manure und
largely to credit for milk products
from the cows that were milked. The
high cost of maintenance of bulls
where baby heef calves ure produced
is largely due to tho fuct that breed
ing bulls of high quality are neces
sary. Tho hull clmrgo Is determined
largely by the number of calves pro
duced per bull. While the cow churgo
for raising a calf was lowest In the
dual-purpose group, the addition of tls
cost of feed and labor for tho skim
milk calves makes tho cost of the calf
somewhat greater than In tho double
nursing group. Winter feeding costs

galed. The Investigators obtained in
11)1 1 and l!)lfi, fUH'.il records from farms
in Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa,
.Missouri, South Dakota, Nebraska and
Kansas. These records dealt with
Il.iKII cows, ti'Jl bulls and I'.'.MU
calves produced from them, of which
'-'.(i't were classed as baby beef.
Classification of Records.
These were arranged in six groups
based on six distinct practices fol
lowed by the farmers of this region.
These are:
(1) Heef. Farms where all the cows
are kept strictly for beef (except
baby heef), In which there 's no salt'
of milk ami butter.
('') Huby beef. Furiosi devoted to
the production of high-grade calves
fattened and sold at from 11! to 18
months of age.
(") I Mini purpose. I'lirais on which
all the cows are milked and the calves
weaned at birth and raised on skim
milk.
(I) Mixed. Farms where Hie best
cows are milked, their calves being
weaned at hlrlh, while caWes from
other cows run with their dams. ThU
Is a combination of beef and dual
purpose.
(5) Partially milked. Farms on
which calves are not weaned but on
which a part of the milk Is drawn
from the cow, the calf taking the re
mainder. ((5) Double nursing. Farms where
some of the cows are milked and their
calves given to other cows.
Summary of Results.
The following Munmnrles are based
on these six classifications and arc
given as averages from the records
of the farms and live stock actually
reported. The conclusions are averages
for the entire section studied and the
reader must bear In mind that there
are wide divergences In cost In the
several states. For this reason the
report, after considering the general
problem, deals in great detail with the
range of costs In the several states ami
the averages for the several sections.
The following are the more Important

To Paul God gave one of tho greatest
tasks over committed to mail, viz., tho
planting of the gospel In heathen
lauds; founding churches; teaching
them thu gospel truths of tho Lord Je
sus. He wrote to these churches two
fifths of the New Testament, thirteen
of Its twenty-seven books, and this
work wns accomplished under the
greatest difliculty, trials nnd suffering.
To sustain and guide, tho Lord gave
him "visions and revelations" (v. 1).
These revelations came to him from
the very beginning of his Christian life
and continued In every great crisis.
Tho first was given ut his conversion,
twenty years before this letter was
written, when ho saw Jesus In Hid
glory and received his marching or
ders. Again (vv. 2-1), fourteen years
before, or about A. D. 4'.l, wlrun he was
In Antloch nnd first entered upon his
foreign missionary work. He obtained
his gospel directly from the Lord. Sub
sequently ho had other visions to sus
tain nnd guide him.
Teachers ought to study this entlro
section beginning at chapter 10. Paul
snys that us an apostlo he did not la

He was not much concerned by what
his enemies might say.
As to his opinion of them, read
chapter 10. Ashumcd to boast, yet for
their sakes he meets their foolish
charges by giving us this record.
