The servant who was. left to wateh for the noteter's retutn must have the lamps supplied with oil, trimmed and hurting, and be heady for ieetant service. Me Like unto men that wait -Here and throughout this series of parables is taught the duty of watele fulness on the part of every person, for there os an event approaching that can- not be appropriately met or welcomed except by the watchful, and disastrous will he the event to those who Mien not be found watehing. From the wedding - oriental weddings were held in the night, and the time of the return of the guests was uncertain. Note the parable given in Matt. 25: 143. Immediately- No time is. required to make ready to open tile door to greet the master end to do his service. Earnestness and. activity are necessary to success in every kind of service. To be ready to open the door at once upon the arrival of their master, nutriced acceptable service. The Chris- tian is called upon to be at -his post of duty every day and every -hour. Noth. ing less than this degree of faithfulness. will please the Master or satisfy the smut 37. Blessed are thoee servants-- They are blessed bemuse .their 'diameter and acts are such as satisfy their own bowie of duty and receive the approbation of then- master. Blessedness "is the joy that grows out of the soul itself." It "is a fire within, that sheds 'Wit and warmth whatever the weather outside." Watching -Doing the very thing they wete appointed to do. They were ready for the tasks that were theirs. The Lord's servants are waiting for his com- mands to do service in religious work and in reform • work. -They are ready to strike the blowthat will tell for tem - ;Terence, as far ea it lies in their power. Shall gird himself _and serve -As a reward for the faithfulness of his ser- vants, the master gave them, for the time, the place of honor and he served nom. Jesus girded himeelf and served his disciples (John 13: 3-17). 38. Second watch - third watch -The Jewish division of the night was into three watches: the first, horn 0 °Week in the evening until 10; the second, from 10' until 2; tbe third .from 2 until 0 in the morning. The Roinene divided the night into four watches. The good servant is eemmended for being wateliftil at all times, even in the hours when the temp- tation to be off one's guard le.greatest. IL Watching against danger (vs. 30, 40). 39.., Goodman -Master, owned. Would have watched -Lf the East, eshieh knows not the happy and secure municipal arrangements of western lands, every one must be his own police- man. The state punishes, but leaves the prevention and deteetion of theft and robbery to the individual interest- ed. Hence the watchman is a necessary and important personage everywhere. - Tristram.. In this parable the idea of watehing is prominent, but the figure is changed front that of a servant watching for hie master's return, to that of a property -owner • watching against thieves. Suffered -,Permitted. House....broken through -The dwell- flgis in the Eat were largely made of enuch hardened by the sun, and they geoid easily be broken through, and that, with little noiee. 40.

Exhibit devotion. Very fittiegly does the admonition• to watehfulneee follow the admonition to confidence and freedom from eve, given in the preced- ing lesson, the disciples were in- structed to cast ail the care upon Gott in !espeet to events and consequences, tney wero tailed upcn to be atteritive to duty. True devotion naturally fole lows entire sulanission and trust. DUI; gent attention to their proper work would evidence their freecicen from anxi- ety conceining their subsistence. . Such devotion as prepared them for active service, called for a vioilant frame of mind, the laying aside. o°C every distact. ingengagement, as well as the exclusion i ' of mproper indulgences. It included the habitual exereise of faith and the •per- formance of good works. Happiness is the portion of tho faithful and wise _servant, who _delights in his work and gives himeelf contionally to it. The faithful seevant views God as An ever present Master. Ile' delicates his tal- ents to him -and employs all his powers in the advaneemeet of his cause an the earth. Alertnese, activity and circum- spection oive character to his life. Such was the give that Jesus prescribed to They wero called upon to be working and watching servants, to be watchmen over themselves ama watchmen expecting hie return • when life's duties were done. They were .to be light -beaters of his truth. They -should he examples to others as well as teach- ers. The holier their lives the _brighter would they efleet their Mester e na- ture.

Their personal hap- piness . requirea pereonal union with Christ. . . IT, Require inceettive. Josue alluded to his own ascension to heaven, his coining to call kis people to hint by death and his return to judge the world. The diseiples were directed to keepIds instructions before themfoul to pattern their lives accordingly. Beyogd the watchfulness of servants and the duty of light -bearers 'the disciples were given• the weighty responsibility of steward- ship. Being assured that the hooseholn of God will always need the food few rdshed by the ministry, a new incentive filled their ,souls as Jesus replied to Peter'is question. On the faithfulness of their working dependod the gracioes re- ward of the servants of the kingdom of God. To be always found in the doing of good works was the best preparation for eternity. W. -Receive reward. The servant oi Christ is hero seen to have the noblest of all masters, the holiest of all ser- vices, the most honorable of all posi- tions. The honorable occupation ds - scribed is that of a servant diligently ene ployed inThis master's work, recognizieg his obligations and carrying then; oat with pereeverance, upon the promise of obtaining his master's approbation as bis reward. The' coming of the Master is regarded as a solemn event, when ivory servant will be called upon to make re- turns of duty to God, when the la wof neettnotability will be the try -square. Thnpeealty of disregarded duty will be fixed. Responsibility is in proportion to the amount of knowledge. Duty will be messurea by ability. The friendly and beuntiful kindness of the master repre- sents Christ in ths manifestation of him- self to his faithful diseiples, as he tom- municates to them a settee of his pres- ence, and brings them into ilitimate com- panionship with himself. This blessed- ness the dieeiples were to know after the ascension of Christ. As the gradation of crime always rises in proportion to the "known dignity of the character .offend- ed,".e.o the punishment to be inflicted on those whote opportunities have 'been: many wilt be ntore grievone than on those whose opportunities have been few. God's judgment takes account of all that 1 ean lessen or augment guilt. God mea- sures the faults of men by their wills. Thus God's mode- of dealing with men is here represented in the deVottvion, incen- tive and reward of servants. God's plan is to bestow rewards freely upon those who are faithful. --1, R. A.

BROOD MARE. . During the winter there is aestrong, tendency to do one cif two things lu the management of the brood mare on the farm The one tendency is to give her extra care and feed and keep Lee more cumfortable than is for her good or is destined to produce strong, 'healthy foals. The Other is to go to the Opposite extreme with the idea that to produce healthy foals It is necessary Tor the mare to get out and rough it with the .rest of the beeses. .These ideas are based upon sound logia to it certain extent. The one idea is based upon the fact that the mare requires extra care, the other, that she requires exercise, and plenty of IL The ode feature that is not given enotigh consideration is that these two requisites should be corabined. There is no particular way in which brood mares mustebe' handled to en- sure strong, healthy Male. A score of methods of managetnent and feed- ing on as many different farms will be found to result in strong, healthy youngsters, but on all these farrns these three factors, comfort, feed and etercise, are invariably given consia. Ienr aftoiAboutoanl.this season of the year, mares w al develop a crabbed nature, and will kick or chase any horses about the yard that they happen to be turned out with, particularly is this so of horses with evhich they are not familirtiooWhile 'they may not be dir- ectly injured through kicking, it slip or the sudden jump at another mare or horse will otten resultin abortion, for which there is no apparent ease. Mares turned out for exercise should be put in a .yard by themselves with• ,their stable mates only, or with one or two colts. A .good many mares if fed in the stable will, when turned out, stand at the yard gate or stable poors for hours. To ensure exercise wnen possible feed all roughage, hay or oat sheaves out- side scattered around the yard. A little may bP lost, but it will be worth while if it ensures the mare taking exercise. However, it is taking rather heroic measures to turn the mare out to get her entire feed on the Prairie or . on the stubble, and around the straw stacks to obtain this exercise. • When it is possible a box stall is an ideal place for•the brood mare, but as this can not always he given the ordinary stall with plenty of straw for bedding will serve the purples°. She should, howeVer, during reasonably fine weather spend only the nights in, the stable, speadipg the eutire day out- sidein slieiter of straw stacks or build- ings, and with plenty of roughage to trek over. • • In feeds, absolutely nothing should he fed that is not clean and free from mustiness or plant diseases. Dirty or diseaged fodder is another of the sources of abortion for which the own- er cannot account afterwards. As to what constitutes good feed, clean, whole oats inemoderation, not exceed: ing two gallons a day unless the mare is doingl- ight work, and all the hay the mare will eat will make a Satis- factory ration, -Keep salt where she can take a portion at will. If oat sheaves are fed instead of bay, re- duce the oats fed very materially, unles sthe oats were cut before any, grain whate,Ver had formed. One farther point, sanitation, of the stable should be maintained. The stable should be disinfected from time • to time, and it would be well to wash the stalls of any brood mares with a two per cent. solution of creolin or carbolic acid frequently. See ahat any strange mares or horses put in the stable are not put close to the brood mares. These strange mares may have aborted recently, to both the mares and horses MAY be curlers of contagious abortion bacteria. .When one bas taken the trouble to breed a mare, pay the service fe.s and get tfie' Mare well along in the gesta- tion period, it is worth while to spend a littlb extra time and exert a little extra care to ensure the mare carrying the foal to the end en! the gestation period and delivering it strong, normal Yeah -Farmer's Advocate and Home Journal, Wirinipe_g, Man. FARM NEWS AND Tim's. Regularity in feeding and milking is an intportant point in keeping up the milk flow. One cannot milk and feed in the morning at any time between half - past five and half -past nine, and in the evening between half -past four and sev- me and expect the cow to do her best. Experiment shows that there is it dif- ference of at least 10 per cent. between regularity and irregularity. Having a regular hour in the morning, to milk it will not answer to lie abed until all hours on aunday morning, If more sleep is wantel milk the rows at the usual time and creep back to bed again. Dairying inept:or ,:enducted is an exacting 0111. pluslueLt. There are many chores about the farm that two or thiee hours eviler OS later in doing them makes no par- t :tufa' difference, 1).t t,,, ntid feeding the milk cows is not one of them. A yield of thirty bushels of corn is not a. profitable crop.. A. yield of 40 bush- els usually shows at fair profit, a yield of 50 bushels a good profit, and 80 to 00 bushels at handsome profit. We all want good crops, and. some work to that end, Mit the wrong tactics are followed to get the desired results. The season can -- not supply what should be done by the cultivator and the owner of the land, We have just read a eoltunn article itt a horticultural paper on manuring the vegetable garden. It is strange how simple a process 'may be mystified by too many Avon's. ,Cart the manure to the garden, spread it and plow it in, and ee enre to use enough of it. This is the whole law, and all the prophets, and most. of the profits, of gardenipg, For special growths that require special treatment special fertilizers may be kept in it convenient place.. But with plenty of good barnyard manure, the liquid portions fixed with vegetable matter, and the whole properly applied, there will rarely be any need for special fer- tilizers. .A. few year's ago there was a demand for heavy lard hogs. Now the tendency is toward smooth, even hogs, of medium weight, of Irmia 225 to 250 pounds of early maturity. Hogs of this weight stould be free from surplus fat, posseee smooth ehoulders, well laid in with the line of the body, hams moderately heavy and a firm flesh with flanks well down so as to furnish a large development of belly meat. The back should be of good length,' width and smooth, showing an absence of large patcbes of fat hams. The best cuts of the aog are taken from the back, loinoind sides, hence the im- portance of good length and depth to the sides, The careful breeder of pure- bred swine keeps informed on just such points and Mule .to produee ID his herd those goalities that most nearly produce the market demand. The scrub hog has no place on the farm, and since the packer and his trade have called for at certain type of hog, it stands the hog raiser well In hand to meet the demand through careful breeding -and feeding. Medium - weight hogs, through the demands of trade, have disposed of the old-time • 500 or more pouud lard hog. Don't le afraid of putting too mien manure on the garden. Six mehes deep and plowed in wili not burt. 1Ve have all heard of manure burning up please but that is it mistake. Manure can made a very rapid and tender growth, and midi growth may not stand drouth as well as plants that will grow sick- er. Rapid growth is what is wanteti in a vegetable garden, and if drouth comes it will be after the plants have become hardened by proeess of nature. Re- member this -manure does not "burn" crops. :THE LAWS VICTIM Pathetic Scene When Ger- • man Woman is Freed. .Berlin, Mar. e. -A frail, toterIng wo- man in black Stepped front the train in the village of Fle.ndersback, in Rhine- land, yesterday afternoon, and half car- ried, half led, passed down the garlanded .HIgh street to a house on which hung it wreath with the inscription ,"Welcome home," She was Frau Hamm, middle- aged, the widow of a farmer, and had just been released after serving 5 1-2 years' penalty servitude in Siegberg Prison, where she Waft undergoing a sentence of fourteen years for alleged complicity In the murder of her hue - band.
