Ai well-managed stock farm affords a better distribution of labor during rush seasons and has more of it - available at other times of the year., In no other type of farming in a northern climate is it possible to pro- vide a steady and prefitabie labor program throughout the year, and as the costs of living advance this situa- tion is becoming more noticeable from, mosnotmheofourtoinonthn.val economists argue, that the high cost of living will force men to return to the farms, but this is a question which has more than, one side. The high cost of living has thus fax compelled many rural work- ers to leave the country and seek steady employment in cities where, they could earn good wages every month in the year. • Years ago the farmers had little difficulty in finding day laborers when needed. In fact, the day laborer was at that time an important factor in rural life. Thou- sands of men who owned small farms worked by the day fax neighboring farmers during a &eater part of the egamen. • With the meagre income from their day labor they managed to live- and support their families. To- day the cost of living has reached euch fiigures thee these men have found t nenoesibie to live and support their families, for while their clay labor has brought them more money per day the average farmer has so managed his basitiess as to reduce the number of days of hired labor to the lowest possible notch. Cutting down on the number of days of labor has forced these men out of the coerntry. The loss of these day laborers has made it necessary for 'farmers to ad- just eheir business so that they must depend an their own labor, or change work with their neighbors. In either case it has necessitated a curtailment in certain crops and made it advan- tageous to plan their farming so that they could keep their labor supply busy at all times of the year.

Devid Briags the Ark to Jerusalem, 2 Sam, 6: 1-19; Pealm 24: 7-10, Golden Text—Naha 100; 4. 6: 1-10, To Bring Up . . the Ark of God. David was wise in desiring to make his new capital the religious centre fax all Israel. He knew, as Moses and Joshua had known, that the utility of the independent tribes cf Israel could only be preserved by a common faith and it common wor- ship', Per Jehovah was king, and, until Saul, the free men of Israel had recognized no other king. They rec. agnized Saul and David only as "the anointed of Jehovah." While there were local sanetuariee and altars everywhere throughtnit the landi the ark had a special mereeng fax the whole of Israel, and where the ark was, there was the national sanctuary and the Proper dwelling place of Je- hovah, and so alto of Israel's king, Jehovah's chosen: and anointed repre- Om-dative. The story of the ark ,,:,11aulet be re- called here'its place in the sanetuary in Shiloh, its (gesture by the Philis- tines, and its retail -he Judah (1 Sam. 4: 1-7: 2). It is very probable that, while in the territcler of Judah, it was still under Philistine control, until the Philistine power was broken by David in the two battles described in 5: 17- 25. Now at last it was poesible to reetore it to its proper place, and it was David's purpose to set it in the national sanctuary in kis new capital, as an object of reverenee and a sinnhoI of unity for all Israel. Compare the ; parallel story in I Chron. 13: 1-14, in which the writer says: "The thieg was • right in the eyce, of all the people." , It was an act of real piety, as well as of wisdom, on the king's part, and !, it was exceedingly popular with the people. The thirty thousand men wimm David took with him indicate that the, eetcrprise was pertly a military one, anti that opposition an the part of the Philistines was feared. Beale of Judah, or Battle Judah, 1,.'24.5 about nine milge , west of Jerusalem. It was also called Kirje.theicarim (1 Chron, 13: 1). The Name of the Lord of lIasts, that is Jehovah Saliaoth, WEIS Neu- : Laily sacred to the people of Israel, and was. associated in their minds with (the great work, of Moses and Joshua. He was the "Lord of hnsts, the God of the armies of brach" Perez-Uzzah. This name. which means "the breach of Uzzah," is ex- plained by the strange stgry of the death of Uzzah, a story difficidt fax us to understand. The act of Uzzah duct his business on a profitable bads as many months during the year as possible. As a general proposition there is more interest fax the good farm hand in taring fax live stock than in growing crops for market. The care of live stock is exacting and painstaking work, -but there is less drudgery in breeding and feeding op- erations than there is in tilling the land and cultivating crops. Another important factor in live stock farm- ing is the fact that it creates a greater family interest in the affairs of the farm, thereby affording an incentive for the young folks to stay in the country. Many progressive farmers recog- nize the attraction which good ani- mals hold for the young people and cater to it by giving them a share in the proceeds. In many instances they have found it profitable to give the boys a share in the live stock raised on the farm'such as every tenth pig, lamb or calf, which is fed by them in the same manner as the others, but becomes the property of the boy who takes eare of the herd or fleck! In a like manner giving the girls orphan lambs, or every third ox fourth egg, for linking after these interests is sure to stimulate activity and give them a better idea of farm life. While good live stock helps to solve the complicated labor problern on many farms, it requires careful plan- ning to keep the different branches operating smoothly, utilizing stock, crops and labor to the best advantage and steadily improving the property. The greatest benefits are obtained when labor-saving methods are em- ployed, and when plans are made so that the greatest amount of labor in caring fax the live stock comes at seasons of the year when work in the fields is not pressing. Making farm work steady, profitable and interest- ing is one of tire essentials andkeep- in help on the farms. Farmers must eliminate, as much as passible, the hum -drum phases and give the young folks and hired help a high mark to shoot at, or better still, a set of high rna:rks. This, as well as -financial re- ward, will help to keepthe boys and girls on the farm, and help to keep the farm hands buy and contented. tosommeas.,,,serawmqrwanarir seems to have been right and proper, fax he sought to hold the ark in its place when the stumbling of the oxen on the rough road might -have upset it. To the Hebrew of those days, how- ever, the mere touching of so saored an object by an ordinary, unconse- crated person, was an act of sacri- lege, and for that they believed Uzzah to have been punished. David was, aft* of the Lord that day,. The death of the driver of the ort seemed to, him an evil omen. The time was not prim/douse Jehovah was angry. He would, therefore, leaie the ark in the house of Obed-edom, the Gittite, that is a native of Gath, and probably a, Philistine, until a more faverable time. 11-10t The Lord Blessed Med- Edom. This men was, 119 double a convert to the Jewish faith and must have lived not far from Jerusalem. The fact that Iie was prosperous at this time seemed to indicate the favor of God.

The tools he turned out were well liked by those veleo had occasion to use them. There wae some-. thing about them that led carpenters especially to seek them. On a certain day sone one said to the maker of these good hammers: "You make a good hammer, sir." ' • "A good hammer!" came back the quick response, "I never made a good ,hammer in my life. I make the bot hammer in the world." And yet, after that he put a number of touches to his hammer that made it still more perfect and more to be desired. He was not satisfied with the hammer he made to -day, to -1 morrow he must make a better one. If we could know the truth of the matter, the probability is that he kept right on making his hemmer leiter and better. ; That is theeeway it ie with every farmer who really loves hie Work. Of one farmer we know, the neighbors say: "He is not happy 'mien21 lie is do- ing something to melte hie place leek better and the land more, productive." Ambition always prods, men just that way. It won't let them sit down at the halfway pose. The world owes all it is to -day, and ell it ever will be, to the men who are deternmed to make a better hammer to-dity than they made yesterday. Getting Rid of Ants. When ants are objectionable becouse they make holes in the greund around plants, they can be killed by putting a little gasoline or bcnz:ne into the holes, or by dusting the sell abundant- ly with tobacco, or lie- pouring into the holes hot water or a telmeco de- coction. If there are large ant -hills to be destroyed, the best and eateleet method is to use earbon bisulphide, as follows: Thrust a crowbar Or sharp stick to a depth of eight or ten inchee. into the ant -hill. Pour in one ounce of carbon bisulphide and quickly close the open- ing with dirt. Ae ecion as this is clone, throw a wet blanket over the hill to keep down the cat bon bisulpidde fumes, so as to increase their effi- ciency in suffocating the ants. Do not remove the blanket for at least an hour. If the hill is large, it will :be advisable to make two of these holies, ten inches or a foot apart. Trimming the horee's toe -nails is one of the jobs that should not be for- gotten.
