The effect of food on the strength Of bone in hogs has lately been dem onstrated by experiments at the Ne braska station, and It was shown thnt there Is a very marked Increase In the strength of bone when tankage or ground bone Is fed to pigs In addition to corn. In determining the strength of bones, the two principal hones In each leg of each animal were removed and broken In a machine. There were four pigs fed In each lot, making the figures given the average of the breaking of thirty-two bones In each lot. The average breaking strength per 100 pounds, live weight of hogs after twenty-two weeks' feeding was as follows: Lot 1, corn, 325 pounds; lot 2, corn and shorts, 396 pounds; lot 3, corn and skim milk, 609 pounds; lot 4, corn and tankage, 580 pounds; lot 5, corn and ground bono, 651 pounds.

Don't look upon the bull as an en emy and carry a club or pitchfork every time you go near him, writes W. M. Kelly in Farm and Home. His disposition toward you will be Just what you make it yourself. Treat him kindly, but with firmness. Ho Is sure to remember any kindness, and surer to remember any meanness that you may do to him, and will watch his chance to get even with you. Allow him but one service and then lead him to his stall, and he will soon learn what Is wanted of him, and will readily take up with the program. Well managed and properly fed, he will live to be eight or ten years old and get good calves. A well cared for bull instead of being a nuisance and disgrace will be an object of ad miration and a credit to your herd and farm. The Driver Is Half of the Team. We all know that anxiety and wor ry tire more than work, and the horse that Is not worried will do much more work and travel further, with less effort than the horse that Is In constant fear of his driver. It takes nerve to pull a load or to travel eit;ht miles an hour, and if these nerves are being constantly ailtated r.nd the horse is in continual fear of the whip, and frequently gets a trim ming that leaves him in constant dread he cannot do his best and soon becomes exhausted. The team han dled by the thoughtful driver Is at ease; their entire attention la given to the work they are doing. This Is Indicated by the manner In which their ears are tipped ahead, showing that they are not afraid. They seem to enloy their work, while with the brutal or thoughtless driver the horses' ears are laid back, and they pay no attention to where they are stopping. The nervous strain that comes from their constant anxiety caused by sharp cuts of the whip and Jerks at the bit tires them more than the work. It Is no exaggeration to pay that the driver la half of the team. Practical Farmer. Crude Oil For Mange nnd Lice. Pome nvi.iirlmanru Vi t, ,, l.r.nn ducted tinder the direction of the Bu reau of Animal Industry with a view to ascertaining the value of crude oil for removing mango and lice from cattle. Dipping was found very ef fective, but some loss of animals fol lowed, which was partly accounted for by the late season at which they were dipped. The experiment was conducted In Colorado, and toward the approach of winter. It was found that the Insects wore not only effect ively removed, but that the animals carried the disinfectant with them, I and thus they were protected for some time from any danger of rein fection. In some Instances whero the skin was scabby, the larger pro portion of the hair came off, but soon began to grow again. By this remedy It Is reasonable to hope that this eiceedlngly trouble some disease could be removed from the Western ranges. It Is one of the most disagreeable and costly diseases that the prairie farmer must contend with. The treatment of the dinted animals, however, Is sometimes lit tle over harsh. It may be that it will be found practicable to so dilute the preparation that It can be used for dipping without any danger and still prove Just as effective. It Is safe to assume, however, that crude nil could be used with great advantage by ap plying; It to animals in the farmers' yards when these are affected. It ap plied with a brush or sprayer, Just enough could be put on to effect the desired results without using so much as to cause the hair to fall out This would, of course, take some experi ence to learn how to apply It, but the fact that It seems to prove an effect ive remedy should commend It to the attention of our farmers in the East and South, or any others whose stock are afflicted with either mange or lice. -Weekly Witness. Anconns. The Anconas were first brought to public notice In the United States In 1S86 by the late Francis A. Mortimer. They were often termed a mottled Minorca. With many that Idea still prevails, but they nre not, nor have they any approach to the Minorca in size, nor color of shanks, skin, etc. The Ancona belongs to the Lee- horn family, and would have been rightly named "The Mottled Leg- born." The only resemblance the Ancona can produce that would approach the Minorca Is the size of their eggs and Immense production of the same. The Ancona Is in reality below the me dium size of the average Leghorn. They do, however, prove their ability to lay large sized eggs in proportion to the size of thelr"avolrdupoIs"' than any variety of Leghorn, or even the Minorca Itself. Anconas average three and one-half to five pounds each. They are In color of skin and In shape the same as the Leghorn, the description of which the reader is re ferred to. In color the beak should be yellow, the upper mandible being striped with more or less black. The eyes are red. Comb and wattles red. Ear lobes white, free as possible from a creamy appearance. The shanks and feet are generally mottled with brownish to black colored spits, In termixed with yellow. Clean yellow shanks and feet are preferable. The plumage Is similar to that of the Houdan, being broken with black and white or black feathers mottled with white, or vice versa. Feathers may also each be solid white or black, in some sections. A general effect of such coloring may be realized by a careful examination of the illustration. No. 32, given here with.

The text was those words, taken from 1 Corinthians 16:13. Dr. Clark said: ! When Paul said to the Corinthians, ; "Quit you like men," he must have recalled an Incident In the history of ( the children of Israel. The Israelites I were encamped at Eben-ezer and the Philistines at Aphek. In the battle . that followed Israel was defeated with ! a loss of 4000 men. As a remedy for their weakness It was proposed that I they bring the Ark of the Covenant of j Jehovah out of Shiloh. There was ; great rejoicing as the ark was j brought into camp. The noise of the ! great shouting alarmed tho rank and file of the Philistines, for they be lieved that God had come Into Israel's camp. "Woe unto us! Who shall deliver us?" they cry. The answer came from their strong-hearted lead ers. "Be strong and quit yoursolves like men and fight." The result Is told in a few words: "And the Phil istines fought and Israel was smitten, and they lied every man to his tent; and there was a very great slaughter, for there foil of Israel 3 0,001) foot men.

Paul had at this time a quite uniform mode of procedure. : First, he began with the Jews at their regular place of meeting, the syna j gogue (comp. vs. 10, 17; ch. 9:20; i 1 'J K la. 4 . 4 tl .

But In or. der to reach the Jews. Paul wlseiv i made use of their day, as missionaries among the Jews still do. Third, he : reasoned with them from the Scrip '. tures. Nothing else has the power to convince, convict, convert and regen j erate men than the Word of God has I (Eph. 6:17; Jer. 23:29; 2 Tim. 3:15 I 17; Jas. 1:18; 1 Pet. 1:23; Luke i 8:11). There were three principal points in Paul's preaching: (1) The j Christ must suffer. The Old Testa ! ment Is full of this doctrine.

That It is possible to develop a i breed of turkey hens that will lay ' eggs from spring until Christmas is j the contention of W. N. Irwin, of the I United States Department of Argicul- ture. He says that the only reason this feature of the poultry Industry ' has not been developed Is that farm ers have paid no attention to it. "I have been eating turkey eggs and tur key for many years," says Mr. Irwin, i "and have found them better than any other article of food. The thing ! that started me looking Into the pos- slbllitles of the turkey was this liking j for the eggs. For several years I have been haunting the Central Mar. , ket of Washington three times a week and buying up turkey eggs. Most of the farmers who bring them Into town to sell for food save the eggs for me. I have bought as many as 145 dozen in a year. In the spring, of course, I i can not get the eggs, since they are too valuable to sell for food. So I have found that the eggs can be kept very easily all winter. Experience i has shown me that turkey eggs kept for that length of time by ordinary , means will poach nicely. An egg that poaches is a good egg. I do not put j the eggs in cold storage, but keep , them cool and dry. j "I believe turkey eggs are as much ' superior to ordinary hen's eggs as is turkey meat to that of chickens. It took 200 years to get white Leghorns , to lay 200 eggs a year, and not many , of them come up to that standard even now. I do not be-Ieve It will take anywhere near that long to de velop 200-egg turkeys, for there have . been many changes and advances since experiments were begun with Leghorns. Besides, I have found at least one man near Washington who has a 200-egg turkey, and dozens who 1 say they have birds that lay upward i of 100 eggs. Even a 100-egg bird I would be a distinct advantage. ! "The time has passed when the ; farmer can afford to raise turks for one setting of eggs. The man ' who told me he had a 200-egg tur- i key' hen killed his bird for the mar- ! ket. I told him he killed at least 1 $100. and he, of course, did not real ize it at the time. One gentleman told me the other day that he has two turkey hens that have laid upward of 100 eggs this year and are still at It. He can not get them to stop long enough to fatten them for Thanks giving. I told him noByto think of fattening them, for theyVare worth vastly more to blm for breeding pur poses. "At the least calculation a 200 egg bird should bring 125. If a farmer raises 100 such birds In a year his gross Income from them would be $2500. Such a breed of turkeys can be developed only by patient, careful selection from year to year. "This industry must be undertaken with reasonable conservatism. I be lieve the results are certain, but per sons who go into the work must ex pect to wait patiently for the prom ised result If farmer had from fifty to 100 birds ihaA laid upward of 100 eggs a year he would have no trouble in getting his price for them. It would not be necessary to wait un til the birds get up to the 200-egg class to make big money out of them tor their laying qualities. "The Rhode Island experiment sta tion has become interested In the i work. First they started with eggs from birds that laid upward of 100, but for some reason the experiment failed. Now they are working with some young birds. I would advise any farmer who thinks of going Into the work to start with young birds from late broods." i selves like men, the Philistines were smitten before them. "Then Samuel took a stono and set it between Miz pah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, naylng. Hitherto hath Jehovah holped us." Corinth was a city of 600,000 in habitants when Paul first visited It. It had a cosmopolitan population. It combined culture and vice. While it was a Gentile city, many Jews were there also, and had their synagogues. Corinth was a sort of ancient Paris, with some resemblance to London. The athletic contests In the stadium, the garlands worn by the victors, the courts of Justice and the theatres fur nished Paul with many figures of speech. The sensuality of the city was indicated by the consecration of 1000 girls to the vile worship of the patron goddess Aphrodite. Other evils which Paul vigorously corn batted were dishonesty and drunk enness. The apostle's one remedy for all Corinthian evils was Jesus Christ and Him crucified. No more pandering to prejudice, as in Athens, by preaching the "unknown God." One of the first converts is Crlspus, ruler of the synagogue, who, with all his house, Is baptized. But Jewish opposition finally compels them to vacate the synagogue and worship In the private residence of one Justus. He is assisted by the faithful Aqulla and Prlscllla. He remains in Corinth for a year and a half and makes many converts, establishing other churches in Corinth and other parts of Achala. This episode is believed o have been written from Ephesus. After speaking plainly on many other subjects, the apostle exhorts them, "Quit you like men." It iB Interesting to note the Greek conception of a man. He must be a man as opposed to a woman. The Greeks had no use for an effeminate man. Neither did Paul. He was to be a man as opposed to a god, and, as a matter of fact, most of the men of Corinth did not exhibit many Godlike characteristics. He must be a man as opposed to a youth, one who had "put away childish things," a man indeed. He was not a man In tho true sense of the term unless married. They were hard on the wicked and selfish bachelor. He must be a man velops forever. We know the glow and earnestness or a new Presence .in our llfo, but do not fully understand that this Pres ence Is ready to serve us day by day. In song and Joyous testimony we give witness to the coming of the Savior Into our lire, but fall to grasp the fact that this is the event that gives ac cess to God and)a part in the spiritual character of our l,ord and Master. Perhaps ours Is the Bhoro exper ience. We hear the parables of the Master, we learn the secret of the kingdom's growth, we relolce In the many consecrations possible for the exuberant lire of youth, but we fall to recognize the working power of what we hear and learn. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES JULY EIGHTEENTH. Whv the ennst must suffer we see in Isa. 53: 6; Matt. 26:28: Heb. 9:22; Jno. 19: 36, 37. (2) The Christ must rise again from the dead. This, too, he proved from the Old Testament, as Peter did, on Pentecost. (3) That "this Jesus whom I proclaim unto you, is the Christ." There are many in these days who wish to substitute some other Jesus for the one whom Paul preached; some JesuB of their own conception or fancy, and not the actual historic Jesus. This Jesus be ing the Christ it is of the hlchent 1m. portance that we accent Him. If we Ps. 91: 13. do not an awful weight of guilt rests i n good company, upon us (Acts 2:34-37; 3:22, 23). Paul sets an example In what he preached worthy of all imitation by modern missionaries and preachers. Politics In Thessalonlca were In a bad enough way, but Paul went at the root of things.

But It theological professors and ministers are "tossed about by every wind of doctrine," can we wonder that our pews are empty and that we have but few accessions to our churches? "Strike the roots of your faith deep In the soil of eternal realities," and then stand fast, set yourself in battle array for the defense of the faith, and fight ou the offensive as well, and victory is sure to follow. There never was an age when peo ple were so hungry for what some re fer to with a sneer as the "simple gospel." Again Paul says, "Be strong." It means to be confirmed. While the apostle did not have In mind a mod ern confirmation class, he certainly does mean that we should be con firmed In our Christian character. It means also to rule or govern. "He that is slow to anger Is bet ter than the mighty; and he that ruleth Lis spirit, than he that taketh a city." It means to become master of, to got possession of, to conquer. The first and most difficult conquest is that of self. Alexander the Great could conquer the whole world, but himself was conquered by his evil appetites and passions and died a young man In drunkenness. When self has been conquered, then the fight is to conquer others for Christ and the kingdom of God. The strangest weapon in this warfare Is en' own experience. , Word of God (comp.

The Word of God Is worthy of such reception (Prov. 8: 10). Thus received It brings salva tion and blessings (Jbb. 1:21; 1 Pet. 2:2). Woe to the one who does not receive it (2 Thess. 2:10-12).

They have but little or no use for the local boards, their calls being over the long distance. They do not put In a call for the Individual. They do not ask for White Eagle at Canton or Flying Cloud at Darling ton. The call Is for "Any Cheyenne." The same Is true as to the Arapaboes. Any member of the tribe serves, says the Dallas News. An Indian puts in a call for any member of his tribe at Canton, Dar lington, Colony, Lawton or any point. It Is "up to" the manager to go out on the street and pick up an Indian. Any one will do, so he Is of the tribe asked for. He is put up to the tele phone and the talk proceeds. The talk being in Indian, no one knows what It is about.

J had a pecullnr dream last night. I dreamed that I saw Jesus. I did not see Him as Daniel did, coming with "the clouds of Heaven," nor as Stephen saw Him. "standing on the right hand of God." I dwelt upon His coming glory in my sermons last Sunday; but In my dream last night I saw no royal throne, no angelic at tendants. It was not the Christ tri umphant that I saw In my dream, but what seemed to be a prisoner; and yet that prisoner wna Jesus. He was sick and lying on a sort of cot. His eyes were closed, and from His Hps groans were escaping ns though He were suffering. I looked on His up-turned face as He lay there. So pure It was I stooped over and kissed Him. When I awoke these words came to me: "Inasmuch as ye have done It unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done It unto Me." nnd these words also: "I was sick and In prison and ye visited Me." And the negative side of tho question came to me also: "Inasmuch as ye did It 'not.' " and "ye visited Me 'not.' " I do not think I slept much after that, but I kept running these things over In my mind. It was a dream, and yet soma dreams have a lesson In them, and this was one; and may I never forget the lesson that it taught: "Inasmuch as ye have done It unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done It unto Me." We may not see Jesus sick and In prison as I saw Him in my dream; and yet to some He will say when He sits upon the throne of His glory: "I was an hungered and ye gave Me meat; I was a stranger and ye took Me in; naked and ye clothed M6; 1 was sick and ye visited Me; I was In prison and ye came unto Me." Yes, "the Son of man shall come in His glory;" but while we wait fot that glad day let us not forget that there are those to whom w may min ister. And if we could but feel that in ministering even "unto the least of these My brethren" we minister unto Him, how willingly would the service be rendered, and how often would the heart overflow with joy at the thought of doing something for Him.

Youngstown, Ohio, was the first place the notices were posted, as the drinking there had be?n very gener. al among workmen. Sharon, New. castle, McKeesport, Duquesne and Homestead mills are more or less af. fected. Not only Is the corporation barring drink from Its mills, but it fought to make Youngstown a local option town. Colonel James Wick, the. Youngstown steel king, and a large holder of Corporation stock, who has been considered as tho reoresentatlvt of the Corporation in that part ol Ohio, financed the fight against liquor, a fight in which brother vai arrayed against brother, and in some cases father against son. It is esti mated that $500,000 was spent by the two sides in the Youngstown fight one. A Maine Paper's Comments. It is strange that men should be lieve that they can stop the progress of omnipotent and eternal good. Human thought swings back and forth like a pendulum, but unlike the pendulum it does not measure exact distances with both stroke! Its backward stroke never goes quite as far back as the last one went, and Its forward stroke goes forward a little farther with each swing than it went before. This is due to the influence of the principle which works constantly for good among men. It is not probable that the progress now being made toward the elimination of the liquor traffic will be maintained at the rate It is going now. We are reaching the hours In human history when the forward stroke of the pendulum is taking ns Into the very best davs the world has ever seen In its effort to rid It self of the greatest evil with which humanity has to contend. It fol lows, since human thought vacil lates, that there will he a retrograde swing, but the pendulum will never go back to the time when the saloon predominated in all our affairs, and the tools of the traffic were the chosen servants of the public. And when - again the forward stroke comes we may be sure it will mark a still greater distance than that registered to-day. The parasites un on our. civilization, who spend their energy In "laboring to the end that the liquor traffic may be In the as cendant In Maine, may read the hand writing on the wal'. The Dlrigo State will take no backward etc; nnder these circumstances. -Port land (Me.) Express. Denn Farrar on the Judgments of God It Is cuBtomary to quote Farrar as the great exponent of the larger hope, in spite of all that he has said about the wrath and anger of God against sin. Before his death, however, it Is said that he gave utterance to the fol lowing remarks in the presence ol the Cambridge students: "Is there, then, no hell here, that we can be so very certain there will be none hereafter? Nay, seeing that indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish fall upon every soul oi man that doeth evil; seeing that the Scriptures from the beginning to end, and whole books of them, blaze like the walls of Belshazzer's palace with messages of doom; seeing that God declared His wrath against Bin as clearly as though He had engraven it In the sun or written it in the stars upon the midnight sky this pre sumptuous ease about the after' life, this growing indifference to the thoughts of the future punishment, this philosophy, which is so treacher ous and so timid, seems to me, and 1 say it deliberately, at once an aberra tion of the Intellect and an Infatua tion of the will. "Ah, better, surely, that a slnnet should tremble with agony, as the leaves of the aspen shudder in the late autumnal wind, than that he should thus falsely presume that he knows more of God than God Hlmeell has taught him, and seeing, that wrath is written in Scriptures against his way of life, should hope that It is not wrath, but mercy, and so rush upon the bosses of the Almighty's buckler as the wild horse rushes into battle." Rev. T. M. Fottercell, In the Expositor. Herald Blasts, ft we love man as God would have ub to do, our conduct toward them will be Just what God would have it to be. The man who would please God Is on the wrong track when he shuts himself up in a cell and puts on a hair shirt. The business of tho Christian in this world is not simply to keep It from becoming worse, but to help make it better. It does not require great ability to do great things. The poor widow with two mites gave more than the rich. The man who asks God for hla dally bread will not get it with butter on it unless he will do bis best to honestly earn It. Ilemember This. Remember that charity thlnketh no evil, much less repeats It. There are two good rules which ought to be written on every heart never believe anything bad about anybody unless you positively know It Is true; never tell even that unless you feel that It Is absolutely necessary and that God Is listening while you tell It.
