The Sanhedrin feared to punish the
apostles. They feared the people would
rise up against them, for the people

(v. 21). The apostles were accordingly
again threatened and set at liberty. Af-
ter Peter and John were released by the
Sanhedrin, they returned to their own
compauy and gave a report of all the
priests and rulers had said and threaten-
ed. A prayer -meeting was held, and the
whole company besought the Lord to
give them boldness and power to preach
the gospel and to work miracles in the
name of Jesus, in order that His church
might be built up. Their prayer was
answered and they received a special
baptism of the Spirit.

THE INTER HOUS-
ING
OU -I G OF SWINE,
It is at this season of the year that
the 'housing of swine becomes ••a( mom.
or less difficult problem. 'This is more
particularly true in regard' to the hous-
ing of sows due to farrow in the spring.
It is chiefly on the housing that the
vigor of spring litters depeudt?•The re=
vised edition of Bulletin N. 10 of the
Live Stook Branch, Ottawa, txeats this
question in a very praotieal manner, It
says:
"Much of the success of hog raising de-
pends upon suitable housing, Suitable
housing •does not, however, demand ea -
pensively built houses and pens designed
so as to provide summer temperature
during the winter season. In au ambi-
tious desire to treat swine with due con-
sideration for their comfort many pro-
gressive hog raisers have, altering the
past few years, practically wasted large
sums of money in building elaborate
warm houses for their Herds. Having
wintered their stock of all ages and con-
ditions in these structures for one or
two seasons, the mistake they had made
became apparent by reason of the fact
that the swine instead of showing grea-
ter vigor, exhibited signs of ill -health in
the form of coughing, lameness, scurf:-
ness of skin and other evidences of lack
of thrift. The chief diffieulty from
these close houses is due to the lack of
exercise taken by the swine kept in
them. After rising from, their comfort-
able beds to take their food, whioh is
usually provided regularly, near at hand
and in palatable condition, the pigs fill
themselves and again return ti their
resting places. This mode of living fol-
Iowed for weeks and months at a sea-
son of year when outdoor life is uninvit-
ing, even ehould the pen door be left
open, is attended with indigestion, eon-
stipation and other forms of sluggish-
ness, causing weak litters, lack of a
good milk flow in dams, stunted wean-
lings and slow gains in alder hogs. Ex-
ercise is one essential for swine of all
ages if hog raising is to be made a suc-
cess, and it is in not providing this that
the warm pen used for both sleeping
and feeding fails. Por young littera coin-
ing in cold weather a warm pen is ne-
cessary, and rather close quarters are
also conducive to the most profitable
gains during a hog's final fattening per-
iod, but at no other time in a hog s life
is close housing advantagecue.

late winter or early spring menthe

The "Wonderful" Name.
T. The life-giving name. "They
()matched through ,]esus resurrection
from the dead]" (v. 2). We "have life
through his name" (John 20: 31).
"'1'hrongh his name whosover believeth
m him shall receive remission. of sins"
(Acts 10: 43). We "are justified in the
name of the Lord Jesus" (1. Cor. 6: 11).
"Who shall say anything to the charge
of God's. elect? It is God that justifieth.
Who is he that eondeinneth? It is Christ
that died, yea. rather, that is risen again
who also ma.keth intercession for
us" (Rosh. 8: 33, 34).
II. The exalted name. "Howbeit many
believed" (v. 4). At Pentecost
more than one hundrd and twenty were
gathered in the name of •7csns. .That
day three thousand more acknowledged
the name, and after the healing of the
lame man the number was increased: to
five thousand. '1'hrvngh all the cen-
turies the number has been inereasing,
until to -day, the wide world aver, mil-
lions bow the knee and lift loving hearts
in grateful homage. and some day all
men shall acknowledge Christ's steprem-
aey, For God "bath highly exalted hint,

every name; that at the mule of Tesus
every knee should bow and that
every tongue should confees that leans
Christ, is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father" (Phil. 2: 0-11),
ITT. The mighty name. "fn the name
of .Jesus Owlet . doth this man
stand here before you whole" (v. 10. R.
V.) The rule for a holy lite is. "1)o all
in the name of the Lord. Jesus" (Col. 3:
17). 1. Gather in his name (]Hitt. 18:
20), 2. Pray in his name (John. 1.4: 13-
16). 3. Preach in his name (Acts. 9:27).
4. 'Trust in his name (Matt 12: 21).
5. Give thanks in his name (T ph. n: 20).
6. Heal in his name (Mark 16: 15-16).
A young merchant doing a successful
business went to New York to buy goods.
He called on a large firm and selected
what lie wished. "]rave you an ae-
count?" the clerk asked, "No, I have
never bought any goods from you."
"']'hen you must see the firm. We must
have their authority before we open
a new account." In the office be told
how much stools ite hod and how little
Ise owed, His statements were antis -
factory, but they did not know whether
he told the truth. They declined to give
him tire goods, even if he gave them
his note. The next morning the young
merekent returned a.mt presented a note
with an endorsement. The manner aft
the firm changed instantly. "Youmay
have as large a credit aieyou like." they
sas,id, "if you bring us notes with that
]came on them."
IV. The powerful name. "They saw
the boldness of Peter and John" (v, 13).
Peter filled with the Holy Spirit -(v. 8)
was firm and fearless. Ile told them
they bad murdered the Lord. (v. 10),
mad. quoted a prophecy from their own
scriptures to confirm his words (v. 11),
and declared there was ne salvation ont-
aide of the name of the One they de-
sliised (v. 12). Whc nthe name of Jesus
is dishonorer] we shoutd boldly show our
disapprobation, and by act, if not by
word, confess that we love it.
Y. The only name, "None others same"
(v. 12). Jesus said of himself, Ne man
eometh unto the leather but by elle"
(John 14: 6). There is no salvation
apart from Jesus. Every little babe is
Saved by the bhoocf Jesus. The great-

EATON'S CRUSADE.
An Attempt to Live as Christ Would
Through the Years.
New York, Jan. •25. --To live as Christ
would, not for a week or a month, but
through the years! That is the new
movement just initiated in this city
along the lines of the heralde,l tempor-
ary efforts in Cleveland and Beaton. And
it is being led by Rev. Dr. Charles A.
Eaton, the militant new pester of the
Madison Avenue Baptist: Church.
"No person can ever life. as Christ did,
for Ile was divine'," said Dr. Eaton.
"But there tan be a genuine effort, Leveed
upon sound reason, wllie') should ]asst
through the life of each human being."
Dr, Eaton outlined Itis rules for Chris-
tian living as follows:
`First ---Approach your problems from
the eternal side. This makes very few
things that we struggle after worth
while, and, would at once reduce the
strain and tension of life.
`Second -Remember that the Ch.rietJa.n
life is spiritual, not -form or formula. It
is the spirit hi whish nen perform their
tasks rather than the tasks themselvess
which ec stitnte the Christian life. At
conversion men are not taken out of the
world, but the world: is taken out of
them. A Christian is a man who does
small things in a large way.
"Third ---The C=hristian man has a. di -
vino standard of values, so that a man is
worth while for his own slake. To accept
this completely would very largely elim-
inate our artificial elless <l'stvinetions. To
be a Christian is to lonk upon the world
ass Cleist did. 1esus died for the sake of
showing the world thee men are twee -
tures of eternity. that time is may an
ins:idrrrt, in their existence, a short p+'ried
of discipline. and that men tsike with
thea,•, sitnpIy what they are and leave
behind. what they haute."

The Ontario Agricultural College. has

since 1605, and has inrrettscd in amount
each year, It has been known for many
years that the nodules tet subereles on
the roots of alfalfa. clovers, peels, beans,
etc., are inhabited by bacteria that have
the power of taking nitrogen from the
vast amount in the atnlospiiere,, and
storing np this valuable fertilising ele-
ment in the plants, thus es>.riohing the
soil when these plants ate plowed under.
In the college laboratory these bacteria
are cultivated rimier artificial conditions,
their full power of nitrogen a menntila-
tion being conserved, and these cultures,
as they are called, may be applied to
the seed to be sown. An old established
fields where clovers ar alfalfa hare been
previously grown, the soil is well sup-
plied with these desirable bateteria, and
the use of artifia]n1 inoculation would-
be of little benefit. On new ground,
however, or where the crop 'to be sown
has not been sueeessfnily grn:vn. before,
the inoculation of the seed neually helps
to, secure a better stand„ ::Dui!* LIN
