After the lambs are-a "few'days old
they begin to look around for some
thing to eat , and they should be given
an opportunity to go out in search of
food , by making creeps which they
can go out and in as they please and
have access to such foods as oats
and bran with some of the finest and
most tender hay that the farm af
fords ; nothing is too good for the lit

Where large plantations of aspara

Sheep raising is a new thing to

To produce milk economically we

The stallion" should show strong
masculinity , as Indicated by vigorous ,
bold eyes and a massive , well crested
neck. The mare should be feminine
in character , as indicated by mild
eyes , comparatively small head and
slender neck , which together with a'
somewhat more roomy barrel should
constitute a breeding appearance.
In these days of exceedingly high-
priced concentrated feeds , it behooves
the farmer , depending principally on
dairying , to * produce on his own land
as much as possible of the rations
necessary for his herd to make a pro
fitable flow of milk. In order to do
this , it is not too emphatic to say he
must grow alfalfa.

Great Britain imports much less
live stock than formerly. In 1909 the
receipts of live cattle were 54,000
less from the United States and 9,000
less from Canada than In the previous
year. At the same time it imported
a greatly increased quantity of chilled ,
beef.
The cows should not be fed their
roughage , nor the bedding be stirred
up before milking , and as far as
possible the barn should be opened
and aired also before the milking
time , so that the foul air which
taints milk so readily may escape.

Any system of farming which pro

work for the horses will prevent the

Weeds in the lawn are an indica

from cultivated plants in that they
require poor land. If the lawn Is
good and rich the grass will grow

Don't feed dusty hay to horses. If

VERACITY OF THE BIBLE
After a Visit to the Holy Land Even
a Skeptic Must Be Con
vinced. *
* One thing cannot fail to Impress
every visitor to Bethlehem , and , in
deed , to the Holy Land generally , who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and a proper sense -of the sanctity
of the location and of { he events that
have transpired there , and that Is the
more than remarkable correspondence
between the things and places shown
us today as having een associated
with the life and work of the Saviour
*
and other events that enter Into the
structure of our religious faith and
the descriptions and accounts of them ,
as furnished us In the pages of the
*
' Holy Scriptures. They agree with
them in every respect and it Is im
possible , after carefully considering
and comparing them , to doubt their
Identity , so exactly are they in accord
with . .the Bible narrative.
The work in the fields , the arrange
ment of the buildings , the very arti
cles of diet and clothing of ancient
days are plainly recognizable in the
doings and surroundings of today. In
deed , where modern methods have not
become obtrusive the manners and
customs of the people remain much
the same as in the days of the pres
ence on earth 'of the Saviour. Be
tween the descriptions given in the
Bible of localities , climatic and geographical
graphical conditions , distances , etc. ,
of these times and those of today
there is hardly any discrepancy. Even
a skeptic , considering this remarkable
accord of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative , cannot but be con
vinced of its veracity ; to the believer
it comes as a wonderful conviction ,
a satisfactory corroboration or en
couragement to see things as those
who described them so graphically
saw them so long ago. Columbian
Magazine.
