• 12: 9-10. The Rebuke of Nathan.
Thou hest killed Uriah the Hittite.
The story of David's crime is told in
-chapter II. He has caused this brave
soldier to be sent to certain death -be-
fore the walls •of Rabbet,. the capital
city of the Ammonites, 'which his army
was besieging, in order that he might
take to himself Bathsheba, Urian's
wife. For this crime he was fittingly
telobuked by his loyal friend and coun-
t ...`Alor, the prophet Nathan, in the par-
able of the•poor man's lamb. Nathan
showed superb courage as well as tact
in thus bringing home to the Icing his
fault. His courage and fidelity Might
well have coat hint hie line. He doei
xiot heeitate to charge David with a grow and remain in good condition,
breach of the sixth commandment in
theffeilling Uriah, and declares that,
as a consequence, the sword shall
never depart from the house of -David,
a peedietion most unhappily, fulfilled
up later. This is a mistaken idea—a
stunted colt will never fully recover.
The young horse should be fed liber-
ally of the right kind of feed.. The
mineral content of the ration, as well
as the protein, carbohydrates, and fat
should be considered carefully. The
bony framework of the horse demands
a considerable amount of calcium end
phosphorus; the blood needs sodium,
potassium, and iron; the nervou$ tis-
sues demand phosphorus. These, to-
gether with sulphur and magnesia,
are the important forms of inorganic
matter that are needed.
Experience has shown me that colts
make a better growth on a ration of
corn and Alfalfa bay than on corn and
timothy or prairie leay. This is due
as much to the difference in mineral horse matures

content of the two rations as it is to hoofs and often poorly set legs.

and eanitary, however, there win be
very little trouble from this source.

in hot weather, that the growing ani-
mal have a plentiful supply of clean,
pure water as it is that they be well
fed.
Aside from, feeding, probably the
most important coesideration in de-
veloping growing colts is the care of
the feet, Many of the poor feet seen
on horses are the result of neglect
while they were Young. The toes
should not be allowed to grow abnor-
mally long and in -shaped.- Serious
trouble may result from cracking or
breaking ef the hoof. Neither should
the heels be allowed to become bigin

If theee shape $ are not corrected,

or three sheaves Should 'be collected
in the -field to allow for waste.
The majority .of persons have the
idea that all the etraws should be the
same letigth and the heads all placed
on the same level, This would give us
the square head in vvhich, when tied,
the majority of the straws would
break off below the head. The ideal
sheaf has a rounded head with a grad-
ual curve. This rounded head is pro-
cured by allowing the central straws
to stand a little higher than the sur-
rounding straws and each layer of
heaels that are 'added, to .gradttally
slope away from the centre. The large
sheaf may be conveniently formed by
firet making a number of small
sheaves end then placing them to-
gether as th.ough they were individual
heads, gradually sloping them off in
the pante manna., To 'finish the sheaf
'a layer 'of individual heads. should be
placed around the whole, producing a
finished exhibition sheaf. All the
loose leaves should be plucked off the
outside of the sheaf with a jack-lenife,
leaving only the white shining straws,
and all heads that do net conform to
the .symmetry of the head may be cut
off, leaving a perfect sheaf. Colored
ribbon about % ae-inch wide may
be used with good effect to cover the
• binding strip.
The remainder of the plot should
be threshed by hand. This will form
the bulk ,sample for the Fair. If the
plot .was kept. pure in the field there
will 13e very little that will need to be
done to the threshed sample. A good

nese is the secret of a good sample,
the fanning mill should not be .spared
even if it means fanning away 50 per

• The bulk _sample should be double
bagged for shipping to the Fair. The
'sheaf should be shipped in a box, %-

deeper than the sheaf. The sheaf
should be wrapped in paper and tied,
fitted into the box and kept in po-
sition by supports.

Ten Shekels of Silver. A shekel was
not a stamped coin,, but a 'weight of

Joab's character aright when he said
that Joab would have "stood aloof"
(revised version) and would not have
protected him from the king's wrath.
Verse 13 should be rendered as in the
revised version: "Otherwise if I had
dealt falsely ag-ainst hie life (and
there is no matter ihid from the king),
then thou thyself wouldst have stood
aloof." ••
But Jab was not lacking in cour-
age. He had defied the king's anger

grower Olean up an old orchard, cut-

ebould be done to a good many farm
flacks. Not only will culling reduce
the feed bills in direct proportion aa
to the number of hens taken out, but
it will give the refraining flock more
room and a better chance.
In every 'healthy farm flock there
are some hens that are laying 200 or
more eggs se year, while there are
others, if they have never been culled,
that are laying hardly two dozen. In
eacent years accurate 'methods have
been worked out for distinguishing be-

If you have ever kept an. egg record
you probably have noticed that in
June or July, about the time when the
weather begins to get disagreeably
warm, the eggs will begin to drop in<
number.
On studying individual records of
the average flack, it was found that
even the best of hens tend t� let up
a little at this time. But the factor
which causes most ilock reoemds -to fall
is the fact that eorne hens stop laying
altogether. These hens usually loaf
from early summer until mid -winter.
They seldom lay enough eggs in a
year's time to pay their board.
The hen that stops laying in the
early summer can. be easily detected.
She will usually be found. to be molt-
• ing, and either half bare or growing
new feathers. On handling her, the
lay bones, the two small pin bones on
each side of the vent, will be found
hard and stiff and often very close
together, hardly more than half an
inch apart. • The vent will be small,
puckered, and dry. If this hen is fat
and in good flesh, kill and eat her right
away, before she eats you out of
house and ho -me. If she is thin, con-
fine her for a week or ten days and.
feed her plenty of corn and skim
milk or buttermilk. She will fatten
up in a hurry, and then let her have
the axe.
Occasionally a good hen is found
to be resting at this season. It will
take but a second to recognize her, as
she will have, if a yellow -thanked
varier, pale yellow or ivory -colored
shanks ,and beak. One must be sure
that this pale color is due to heavy
laying and not illnes.s. A description
of a tickly hen is not necessaey here,

The prescription which the physi-

called the formula. As baby grows
older he requires a greater quantity
of food, so the fonnula, must be
changed, using more milk and less
water. It is on the correctness of
these formulas that baby% health and
growth depends.
