If stored in the right place the time may come when they are real handy. Ripped apart and shaken out well, they make good blankets to throw over the cows at milking time. They may be served together so that they will come far enough to protect the legs. An old sack is a good thing to wipe off the horses with when they come ,in all wet and chilly. Get clear down to the fetterlb'cks and up' as far as the tips of the ears. Be careful when working round the ears. Some horses do not like it at all. I have thrown an old sack over my shoulders when, going from the barn to the house in a storm ° Better to keep an old coat at the barn for that purpose, however.

Especially if timothy hay is fed horning is to saw the horns off. There there should be some kind of a laza- tive grain given. I like wheat bran or areork.aws specially designed for the mixed feed as well as anything I ever ws tried. The bran makes muscle and at Dehorning clippers are also used, u the same time keeps the bowels reg- ular. It is not time wasted to brush off the calf regularly every day. It always seemed to me a well-groomed calf would grow faster than one that was rough and dust -covered all the time. It might not be thought that a calf's hide would get very mach clogged with dust and seeds, but if you haiie not groomed your calf, for a week or two, just part the hair and look: close. ly, and you will see that the pores of the skin are badly clogged, and when that happens the calf rennet grow as fast nor assimilate its food as it other- wise would. A clean skin saves feed, for the calf uses to better advantage what is given it. All the time we try to remember that we are dealing with a cow- of of herbaceous plants—that is, plants which die down during the winter and tome up again in the spring—are kil- led by improper covering. They should be covered as late as possible in the season, preferably alter the ground has been frozen. A mulch of straw, leaves, or well -rotted manure will not only help the plants through the win- ter, but will give them a start in fertilizer value when growth begins next year. Plants which retain their foliage through the winter should be covered very lightly; a solid mat of material is likely to kill them. Danger Signs.

A self -feeder for.•pens that costs practically soothing, never clogs up, and never wastes feed is somewhat of a boon, according to my experience. It consists merely of a light avooden box about four inches deep suspended four or five inches from the floor, and, a piece of one -inch -mesh poultry net- ting cut to fit loosely ,into it. This wire is to be put on top of the feed, It set- tles down as the feed is consumed, and effectually prevents any from being thrown -out. If a piece of 'heavier wire is bound in around the edge, this added weight will keep the piece of poultry netting in place even when the box is nearly full. The idea in having the whole thing suspended is to keep the hens out of the box, which. it does. These feeders are so inelpenslve that there is no excuse for not using enough of them to give even the more timid hens access to feed at all times, thus doing away with one of the chief causes of lowered- egg yield ,in • large flocks. Concrete Floors Returns. Cost. By increasing the value of manure produced, concrete floors for feeding 'stables will return their cost in about one year. The extra trop 'returns from manure kept on concrete floors is due to the soluble plant food saved. The cost of concreting floors gen- erally amounts to about 'i 5 an animal in the ordinary feeding stable, and the Saving in manure is equal to this amount of every 1,000 pounds in live weight of steers or cattle fed for the year,/as compared with animals fed on earth floors. ..Concrete floors also snake ,it eksier to provide sanitarv`}llaces for animals.

It is not so very commonrto fertilize new clover seeding, but the results obtained' seem to indicate that this is an excellent plan . to use. At first thought this may seem to be an am- necessary practice because clover is planted almost as muoh for the pur- pose of fertilizing the soil, by gathering nitrogen, as ,at is to ob- tain hay. There are three good reasons far fertilizing: First, a light covering of manure greatly helps to prevent the young seeding from being killed out by frost. To a great extent it prevents the ground from heaving. Second, a comparison of the nitrogen -gathering nodules of the roots of fertilized clover not fertilized shows that the nodules on the fertilized 'seeding are from eight to ten times as large as the nodules on the unfertilized seeding. Third, a much larger crop of hay is insured, not- only because a good stand of seeding is obtained, but'becuse the young plants have a supply of plant food. Clover, like all ether plants should have plant food. The manure should be applied light ly in the fall or early winter following the spring sowing.

Golden Text, Mark 9: 7. "About' an eight days. after." The .. reference is to Peter's confession and •tate conversation which followed. There had' been time for the disciples .to - think very seriously about and to dis- cuss with each other tate things which Jesus had said, See Matt. 16: 13-28 and Luke 9: 18-27. For the story of the Transfiguration compare Matt. 17: 1-18 and Mark 9; 2-13-. The purpose of -,their going into the mountain apart from theothers was, simply, "to pray." Jesus sometimes went apart alone to pray. He may often have associated one or more of the disciples with Him. ,The privilege of those'duiet ]fours in solitary places must have been great indeed. The., place was somewhere in the foothills or upon the slopes of Mount Hermon. Dr. William Wright, wile knows the mountain well, describes a iilaceupon the summit, 9,200 feet above sea -level, which he thinks may have been the scene of the disciples' vision. It is an irregular, angular space, four or five hundred yards from edge to edge, surrounded by a jagged fence of broken rocks. IIe says, "There is not another spot of earth so fitted for the Transfiguration as that plateau, the loftiest place on earth known to the menof the Bible; the land of Israel spread out below, and the vast king- doms of the world hemming it round." See Peloubet's Notes. - It is plain, from verse 32, that the three disciples were sleeping, and Luke says, "when they were awake, they saw his glory," In their dreams they the straps of. the Harness.

The face of Jesus Was shining with a strange and won- derful light, and His "raiment was white and glistening." Moreover, two men stood talking with IIim, Moses, great law -giver of the ancient time, and Elijah, most conspicuous of the prophets who did battle against Baal •'and all his works. To their astonished vision both the eaered law and pro- phecy of.their own earlier history bore testimony to their Master and spoke of His death: Though they remembered all this long afterandunderstood its meaning better after the experiences of the death and eesurreetion,.of Jesus, yet at this moment they were bewildered and excited. Peter spoke, impulsively as was his wont, but "not knowing what he said," Even as he spoke a cloud of mist eettled upon the moun- tain and hid the. vision from their eyes. Out of the cloud a voice spoke declaring Jesus to be the Son of God. When the cloud passed they were alone with Jesus. It was an experience never to be forgotten. Each of the three Synoptic DR. A. C.

Gospels tells the story. The vision must have brought comfort and strength to the heart of Jesus Him- self, burdened as He was and sorely tempted -by thought of the ordeal through which He was so soon to pass. For the disciples it was not merely a spectacle staged for their benefit, but an experience shared with their Master. They shared His temptation and His suffering; they shared also the revela- tion of -His glory, and the testimony borne to Him by their own heroic and marvelous past.
