Of recent years nearly every town Is provided with an electric pent rat ing plant, and frequently the wires src fctrunjj alonfr the country roads from town to town. This one fact 'lone lias led a man named McNair to attempt the use of electricity on Ithe farm. He has derised a curioui pen some 15 feet square, built of wire Und mounted on broad, flat wheels. J'h:s pn is designed to run in any Eusture, even though it be hilly.

I A machine of this type is beinp ex IeriiTu nted with at the agricultural xperimi nt station at lnnsin(f, Mich 'Two lambs, and part of the time an old ewe, hnve been pastured in the pen during the summer. The field is iplanted with lucerne growing thick ,and hrsvy. The pen is so arranged that it crawls the full length of tin .pasture in one month, traveling about two feet an hour; at the end of thit time it is switched nround and trav els back again. A it moves the lbee eat every bit of the pasture, eagerly cropping next the forward side of the jpen as it runs over new ground. A it of canvas duck is husg over tht icorner of the pen, so that the sheer.

When the pen has passed, the lucerne that hat been cropped Immediately grows up and hy the time the pen makes it monthly circuit the posture is again in good condition.

HOG-LOADING CHUTE. Devlne br Which a Disagreeable Job Is Untitled of Sane of Its An- uylns Kestirti. Loading hog is usually a disagree able 1ask. This Job is greatly simpli fied where an elevated pen with a floor on a level with the wagon bed is available, but there are few farm ers whose feed lota are thus ar ranged. The only way to load th porkers is with an improvised chutt. which is always more or less of a nui sance. A substantial chute with an inclined floor -the longer the floor the better, as the ascent will be leas steep i made of four-inch fencing, spiked to a CHUTE FOR LOADING HOGS. frame of 2i inches, with posts of 4x4 inch stuff. To add to the solidity of the affair, the 2x4 and 4x4 should be bolted together. The floor can be made oi plank or rough lumber of any kind. It is necessary to nail cleats upon the floor to prevent the hogs from slip ping. One end of the chute rests on the ground, while the other is on s level with the wagon bed floor. This chute should be made of as light ma terial ns stability will allow, for it is often convenient to change its loca tion. The rest of the arrangement is two sections of slat fencing, to be HM'd a wings. One end of each sec tion is fastened to a side of the chute and unrolled. When set up the two wings will make a large V, of which the point is the chute. The hogs can be? easily driven inside the V; then the two ends of the slatting can bt brought together The hogs will thus be confined in a small pen to be load ed. Orange Judd Farmer. How nrrrda Were Developed. By comparing the up-to-date bred hog with the wild razorback of the south, is it auy wonder that the breed r of improved hogs feels proud of bis success? These men, the improvers of hogs, have been very careful in the se lection of their breeding stock. In se lecting their brood sows they picked :1ho.-e that had the qualifications for thrif tiuess, short wide nose, which de notes strength, wide between the eyet and enrs, which denotes intelligence, wide between the forearms, a full neck a well-filled heart-girth, and a well; sprung rib, which denotes good lung power and active heart and a robust constitution. Then comes the straight wide, slightly arched back and shoul ders and hams to compare, all put upon four straight legs, well set out ou the coi ners. Farmers' Iteview. Nnaal Catarrh In sheep. A reader in Pennsylvania has Ox fords that are troubled so badly with running at the nose that it annoys him. None of the English breeds can endure ur sudden changcsiof weather. NsiaJ catarrh is one of the ways in which they suffer it. There is no prevention ex cept by protecting them from our cli matic changes through housing, and there it no cure without the same pro tective measure. Inhalations of the fumes of tar will relieve it. Most shep herds who keep the Knglish breeds ig nore it. It is an affliction that does not kill rapidly. Ewes so affected may be d three or four years and then fat 3.-H. P. Miller, in Ohio Farmer. 5tock. A COVERED BARNYARD. Uandr for the Storage of Msisrtaal a Hnn I'nder Cover for Cattle In ttlnlrr. The shaded part of the accompany ing cut (Fig. 1) shows an addition to on old barn that gives a covered space for the storage of manure and a run under cover for cattle in winter, while providing also a large amount of storage room above the hay or other fodder. This addition is built upon F.4 l ADDITION TO BARN. the end of the barn that contains the cattle quarters, bringing these adja cent to the covered barnyard. A base ment barnyard is ahown in Fig. 2. A covered barnyard of this sort at small expense can be had by those who have basements under theii barns, or who have bams so located that they can be raised and base ments thus secured. The side toward BASEMENT BARNYARD. the south can then be left open, in suring a warm place for cattle to get tbe air, and a place for the stor age of manure where it will not lose any of it valuable qualities. The ma nure esn be spread aver tbe basement floor daily a little straw or other litter thrown over it, when the cattle will keep it packed tightly down. The idea is illustrated, in Fig. . N. V. Tribune. PROFITABLE PRACTICE. Soaking Cora for Weeding Is Said tm Re.alt la (he Savins ef 20 Per Cent, of Grala. For two years we have soaked all the corn fed to hogs, whether shelled or on the ear, writes O. C. Wiggin, Charlotte county, Va., in the South ern Planter. We were led to the prac tice by the reporta of experiments made by the Kansas experiment sta tion. I take it that the chief advantage in sonking corn lies in the better mas tication which the animals give the kernels. 1 find that the teeth of pigs sv)on become sre when fed contin uously on hard corn. When fed on the ear, the front teeth become so sore that they can hardly shell it. The excrements of animals fed on dry corn contain a large prcvportion of un digested fragments. This is apparent to the most casual observer. All lsst year we had been feed ing our horses and mules on soaked corn witJi decided gain. Many horses hnve a vicious habit of bolting their grain, while old animals have faulty teeth, which prevent them from crush ing hnrd grain. I believe we nre wiving twenty per cent, of grain by this simple prac tice. We never allow the soaked corn to become sour. It is well to have two barrels to use on alternate days. If the weather be very hot, the corn should not remain in soak more than 12 hours. In cool weather it may remain 24 honrs or longer. Nothing can so certainly and quickly derange the digestive organs of any animal and throw it off its feed as sour corn or meal. HINTS FOR HORSEMEN. Look out for musty hay. Clean the stall floors daily. Never jerk or yank on the reins. Again the market reporta a shortage In horses. "Shoulder lameness" is generally is the foot. Heavy horseshoes and big nails are dangerous. Remove warts by putting a tight rub ber band around them. Did you ever notice how quick an ill fitting shoe will take the grit out of a man? (iood winter colts are always profit able. Give them a warm, roomy box stall with a ground floor. Midland Farmer. Live Stock on the farm. If the animals on a farm are consid ered as customers, and everything they consume is charged against them, the , value of the "home market" will be ap J predated. No farmer ever fed an ani ! mal because he intends to give such food free of cost. He looks forward to the time when the animal is expected to pay for what it receives. The live stock offers a market for many articles that could not profitably be shipped, and if the animals only paid for the food they received, with no extra profit, the farmer will succeed in selling much watte material In that manner. 89 SB g I THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

And the rulers also with them derided Him, faying: He saved others; let Him save Himself. If He be ChrUt, the chosen of God. 36. And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming- to Htm. and altering Him vinegar. 37. And saying: It thou he the King of the Jews, save Thyself. 3. And a superscription also was writ ten over Him In letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew : This Is the King of the Jews. . And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on Him, saying: If theu be hint, save Thyself and us. 40. But the other answering rebuked him. saying: Dost not thou fear Ood. see ing thou art In the same condemnation T 41. And we Indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath dune nothing amiss. 43. And he said unto Jesus: Lord, remem ber me when thou ceimest Into thy king dom. 43. And Jesus said unto him: Verily I say unto thee: To-day shalt thou be with me in 1'aradlae. 44. And It was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth un til the ninth hour. lb And the sun was darkened, and tbe Veil of the temple was rent In the midst 44. And whtn Jesus had cried with a loud voice. He said: rather, la to thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus. He guva up the ghost. 47. Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified 'God, saying: Cer tainly this was a righteous mati. 44. And .all ihe people that cume together to that eight, bnetdlng the things which were done, smote their breasts, and re turned. t: And all His acquaintance, and the women that followed Him trom Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. 60. And. behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor; and hs was a good man, and a Just: 61.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. The culmination of the life work of Jesus came on ihe cross. What a thttSg it is t contemplate Jeaus, the Son of Ood and most perfect among the sons oi men, dying the death of a mean, degraded criminal. Cicero, speaking of death on the cross, says: "It was the most cruel and shameful of all punishment. Let it never come near the body of a Roman citizen; nay, not even near his thoughts, or eyes, or ears." Too low for a Roman to even think upon, yet the greatest Benefactor ef the race ef man there found His end. No, not end. It waa only the beginning. "For I, if I be lifted up, shall draw all men unto myself." The cross itself became transfigured by the death of Christ upon it. Now it is so longer the in strument of a degraded death, but the emblem of service, of devotion o duty, of sublime self-sacrifice. The priests, scribes and phariseei thought they were getting rid of Christ; instead, they gave Christ to the world. To get an appreciative view of the events connected with the lesson, read the various accounts of the crucifixion and burial, aa follows: Matthew IMl-M. Mark 14:11:17. Luke B:N-eS. John 18:14-12. A careful compilation from the four records gives the various events in the following order: The superscription placed on the cross in Greek, Latin and Hebrew: "THIS IS THK KING OF THE JEWS." This was a subtle sarcasm, for Pilate himself did not believe it. The Jews had not accepted Him as king. In fact, He waa being crucified for claim ing to be a king. It was not in mock ery of Jesus' claim. For this I'ilate eared not at all. But it waa a sort of public proclamation of Pilate's notion that a malefactor dying on the cross was a fit claimant for the title of "King of the Jews." Naturally the Jews objected. They wanted the su perscription te be that He said: "I am King of the Jews." But Pilate left it as it was. The first word from the cross was: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." The next event is the easting of lots by the soldiers for the garments of Jesus. It is now the Jews begin to mock Jesui, saying: "He aaved others, let Him save Himself." The second wvjrd from the cross is spoken to the penitent thief: "To day shalt thou be with me in para dise." The third word is to His own moth er, Mary: "Woman, behold thy son." This He said of Johrn, the beloved disciple whom He saw standing near. And to John He added: "Behold they mother." At the height of Jesus' suffering at midday darkness suddenly settled over the earth. It was at this time He uttered the cry of distress: "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" This was the fourth word from the cross. The fifth word uttered was: "I thirst." The sixth word showed the now fast approaching end: "It is finished." The last words of Jesus on the cross were: "Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit." Terse and Trae, Exertion earne excellence. Look out for the roan who looks out for himself. There is a great difference between a stiff will and a hard heart. A truly christian life has greater power than all Christian literature. You will not make Heaven less your home by making home heavenly. The tense of sin committed must come before the assurance of sins re mitted. The only way to have the very pres ent help is to have the ever present Helper. Ram's Horn. There's Health In Strong nerves.
