Like everyone else, farmers are taking a second look at their use df energy. Farmers are among the biggest and most efficient -- energy' consumers in the country. They are used to making the most of essential energy supplies to produce an equally important commodity -- food. Most farming operations are geared to save energy already, Agriculture Canada provides the following points to help farmers review their own plans to make the most of fuel supplies for the Gold, Frankincense And Myrrh were the Gifts of the Magi... "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treas- ures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankin- cense, and myrrh." (Mattheu? 2:11) Of these three gift,s, only gold is still today a familiar and precious commodity. However, in the time of Christ, both frankincehse and myrrh were equally valuable• and well-known commodities, used in trade between the Middle East and Mediterranean countries. Gold, because, of its rarity and beauty has been the world's most precious metal since its discovery more than 6,000 years ago, Then, as now, it served as a medium of exchange, and was considered a symbol of wealth and power. Because gold 'is soft and pliable, it was also used ' for making fine jewelry and artifacts. Both frankincense and myrrh are gum resins of trees, which grow only ,near the monsoon regions of Ethiopia, Somaliland and. Southern Arabia, Frankincense, which comes from a tree of the same name belonging to the balsam family, is an aromatic gum resin and was an important ingredient of an incense mixture used in.Hebrew re- ligious rituals. It was also used as an air purifier and as a remedy for certain physical ailments.

BUILVINOS --make sure buildings are, properly insulated, including ceilings and attics; check weather stripping around doors and windows; use storm doors and, windows. (It may sound routine,' but proper insulation can save you one-third to one-half , on heating expenses of farm buildings,) --use hay bales around the foundation or on the floor of the second storey of the barn; pile snow as high as possible around the foundation for extra insulation in cold, windy climates. --lower temperatures in the shop, milk house and garage will Myrrh is a fragrant, bit- ter-tasting gum resin ex- uded from any of several shrubs, which grow in the same sections as frankin- cense. It was used mainly as a base for ancient cosmetics and perfumes. It was also used medically as a pain• - killer, and in mouthwash mixtures. It is used in some mouthwashes today. Myrrh also was used in many reli- gious ceremonies.
