Clean milk is the best of human foods; filthy milk is criminal. You can produce clean milk at the least possible cost, only by observing the following essentials: 1. HEALTHY CATTLE. Healthy cattle are those which are free, first, from tuberculosis, anthrax, or similar contagious troubles. It will pay you, on account of your children, your customers, and your future herd, unhealthy ani- mals. Healthy cattle must, secondly, gently and thoroughly, that is, clean out. 5. CLEAN FOODS.

"`The waters saw thee, 0 God, The waters saw thee; they were afraid Th depths also trembled. The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound: Thine arrows also went abroad. The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook. Thy way is in the sea, And thy path in the great waters." V. 25. Took off their chariot wheels. The Hebrew probably means "bound." We should, therefore, translate, "He bound, or clogged, their chariot wheels," that is, by making them sink in the wet sand or mud of the bottom, and so made them drive heavily. V. 27. Returned to his strength; or rather (as in margin) its "wonted flow." It is probable that the inflow- ing tide was accompanied by a change of wind (see ch. 15: 10). The Lord overthrew (literally "shook off") the Egyptians in the midst of the sex. From earliest da s three great roads have led out of Egypt towards the East. The north route was short- est, easiest and best watered, but through the . country of the warlike Philistines. The central road led straight into a long stretch of desert, with no water or food for the people and their flocks. The south road went for some distance by the Red Sea thence amid mountains, with good grazing. This region was 'also fa- miliar to Moses, being the home of his forty years of exile. The people ex- pected to go the short Philistia road. But they were not prepared either to face Philistine warriors, or to settle in the new home. Hence the discipline of the Red Sea road.

Which is more of truth than the cyni- cism of Napoleon, that God' fights on the side of the strongest battalions. Pharaoh and his host are symbols of despotic power. What of Israel?—"a poor, overwrought band of bondsmen." Tyrants had oppressed them through four hundred years; a feeble mixture of women and children diluted their thin ranks; their masters were arm- ed, horsed, and carioted, the poor He- brew wanderers were afoot; few them, it is likely, had better weapons than their shepherds' crooks, or ma- sons' building tools; their meek and mighty leader himself had only his rod."

After the little stranger squirrel came to RoilyRabbit's with Bruin's message for help, he: knew he must do something right away if he were to aid his friend. And he could not do it alone. To get Bruin out of a big trap, he must have help. "Little squirrel, run as fast as you q , can to Willie Woodchuck's house and bring him with you to the.big tree where you left Bruin.
