throughout Pheygia and the region of
Galatia; at Troae a vdscon appeared to
Paul in the night; an the vision Paul saw
a man of Macedonia, who besought him,
ppaging, "Come over into Maeedoni:a, and
ltsl(i us"; Paul and. Silas went to • Phil-
ppu, which was the chief city of that
part of Macedonia; on the Sabbath°they
went out of the city to the river side,
where pfiayer services were held; there
they taught the word; Lydia'.:things
Thy -
ether., gave heed to the ttngs Paul
Spoke; she and her household were bap-
tized; •she urged the apostles to abide
at ber house.
II. Topic: The tumult at Philippi,
Place: Philippi. Paul and Silas were
followed by a fortune=teller, who cried
after theme; Paul was grieved: 'and com-
mended the evil' spirit to eoene out of
her; when the girl's mnasters saw the
hope of their gain was gone, they were
angry; they bad Paul and Silas arrest-
ed; a mob rose up; tete missionaries
were 'beaten. and cast into prison; at
midnight they prayed and sang praises;
suddenly there was a great earthquake;
the prison doors were opened and the
prisoners' bands were'loowed; the jailer
drew his sword; Paul called to him; the
jailer was converted; Paul stud Silas
were cared for.
III. Topic: The power of envy. Places:
From Thessalonica to Berea and Athens.
Paul and his companions, except Luke,
left Philippi and went to Thessalonien;
Paul entered the Synagogue and three
Sabbath days reasoned with them out of
the scriptures, proving that Jesus was
the Chest; some of the Jews believed
and joined themselves to the apostles,
but of the Gentiles, "a groat multitude"
:became Christians; the unbelieving' Jews
gathered a mob, set the city in an uproar
and assaulted the house of Jason.; Paul
and Silas were sent to Berea by night
and at once began to preach in the syna-
gogue in tilt city; the Bereans searched
the ecrijtures daily; the unbelieving
'Jews starred up the people; Paul went
to Athens.
IV. Topic: The gospel in Athens.
Place: Athens. Paul addressed. the phil-
osophers on Mars' hill; commended them
for being religious; called attention to
an altar "To an Unknown God"; told
them of the Gad of Heaven who created
all things; formerly ignorance prevailed,
but now all men should repent; spoke
of tike judgment and resurrection; some
mocked• a few believed, eanong whom
were Dsonysius and awoman named
Dasearis.
V. Topic: A rioh harvest -field. Place:
Corinth. Paul met Anglia and Priscilla,
who had lately come from Italy; he
abode with them as they worked at the
same trade as himself; Paul reasoned in
the synagogue every Sabbath; Silas and
Timothy came from Macedonia; Paul
preached Christ to the Jews; they blas-
phemed and Paul turned to the Gen-
tiles; Paul entered the house of Justus
and ta.ught; Crispus, the chief ruler of
the synagogue, believed, and many of
the Corinthians; Paul was encouraged by
a vision.
VI. Topic: Pastoral admonitions.
Place: Written at Corinth. The letter
to the Thessalonians was written A. D
B2. They had misunderstood Paul's
teaching on. the second coming of Christ,
In this letter Paul gives them various
exhortations and directions. They are
told to admonish the disorderly; to
encourage and support the weak; to
always do good; to constantly rejoice,
pray and give thanks; not to quench
the Spirit or despise prophesyings; to
prove all things; to hold fast the good;
to abstain from evil; they are calked
to entire sanctification.
VII. Topic: The gospel in Ephesus.
Place: Ephesus. Paul preached the
gospel boldly in. the synagogue for three
months; the unbelieving Jewe reviled
Christianity publicly and Paul with-
drew from the synagogue and preached
in the school of Tyrannus; Paul -wrought
many miracles in Ephesus and many
were healed' of their diseases; ,pertain
vagabond Jews .sought to imitate Paul
and cast out evil spirits; the man in
whom the evil spirit was leaped on them
and wounded them; many who praetised
sleight of Imand burned their books; the
word of God grew mightily and pre -
veiled.
VIII. Topic: The uproar at Ephesus.
Plaee: Ephesus. Demetrius caused a
tumult; he declared their business was
In danger of being brought into disre-
pute because Pani and his companions
had been preaching against Diana, the
goddess of the Ephesia.ns; Paul's com-
panions were seized and might have
been killed had not the town clerk
IX. Topic: The psalm of love, Place:
Written at Ephesus. Love is declared
to be superior to gifts; eloquenec, know]-
edge, generosity, self -denial --.these all
amount to nothing without love; love
is the prineipal thing; it suffereth long;
is kind; euvieth not; vaunteth not; is
not puffed up; behaves properly; is un-
selfish; is not provoked; does not think
or meditate upon evil; rejoiceth not in
unrighteousness; rejoieeth in the
truth; beareth, believeth, hopeth and
endureth alI things.
X. Topic: The record of a holy life.
Plaee: Miletus. Paul sent to Ephesus
foe the elders of the church; he • ad-
dressed them; he showed that his min-
istry had been one of faithful service;
that he had taught publicly and from
house to house; he had preached re-
pentance toward God and faith toward
Jesus Christ.
XL Tapia: Paul's shadowed pathway.
Places: By ship- from Miletus to Ptole-
mais; by land to Caesarea and Jerusa-
lem. Paul and his company Iauded at
Tyre; they found disciples and tarried'
there seven days; Tani was urged not
to go to Jerusalem; Agabus prophesied
that the Jews would bind Paul and
deliver him into the hands of the Gen-
tiles,
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
I. The word studied. The Bereans were
noted because they searched the scrip-
tures. Prayerful study of the word of
God brings the consciousness of the pres-
ence of God. A man •who did not be-
lieve in the,seeond coming of Christ and
who had no real, conscious assurance of
salvation was induced by his pastor to
systematically and honestly investigate
the subject by a personal study of the
Bible. When next his pastor met him
his face was aglow with light. He said,
"The truth has made a new man of me.
I have no doubt now of my acceptance
with God nor of his coming again to
reign,"
II. Paid counselling. "Prove all
things" (Thess. 5:21). "Every promise
of God is built on four pillars: God's
holiness, goodness, truth and power," In
every hour of difficulty, need or longing,
let us search out a promise of God and
prove it; then shall we esteem thee
"words of his mouth more than our ne-
cessary food" (Job 23:12), and "rejoice
in his testimonies as much as in all
rielwes" (Pea. 119;14), and be able to say,
"There failed not ought of any good
thing the Lord had spoken" (Josh. 21:
46).
I11. •Christian love. Every virtue is
but the expression of the divine love
flowing through us. "Love suffereth
long" Love is patient; waits; never
gives up; never gives out. "Is kind,"
benevolent, tender. Love serves (I Cor.
9:19.22), "Envieth not;" is contented,
generous. Love is a born heiress (1 Cor.
3.21, 23), which finds happiness, not in
getting and saving, but in giving and
serving. "Not puffed up;" love hides;
cares more to be good than to be prais-
ed. Knowledge puffs up; love builds
up, denies self and lives for others (1
Cor. 8:13); does not stand out for her
rights. One day I sent a little niece two
satin badges; one for her and one for
ber cousin. She said to her mother:
. "The red is the prettier; I will give that
to Roy, because he didn't have them
sent to his house." She waived a right;
she gained a privilege. "Not provoked;"
sweet -tempered. Love restrains; bears
and forbears; is never in a huff; never
blue, nor dumpish, nor despondent.
"Thinketh no evil;" guileless (Zech. 1:
10), Refuses to take evil on credit with-
out positive proof. "Whatsoever things
are lovely," we are bidden to "think on"
(Phil. 4:8).
IV'- Jesus magnified. "The name of
the Lord Jesus was magnified" (Acts
19:17). The apostles loved the name of
Jesus. They delighted to preach this
name. Peter, knowing our Lord on
earth, as the hunmble One exalted, speaks
of him as Jesus Christ. Paul, seeing
him in the third heaven as the exalted
One who has been humbled, writes of
him as Christ Jesus. His divine title of
stepped in and quieted the mob.
personal glory is Son of God; his human
title of earthly glory is Son of man; his
kingly title of Judaic glory is Son of
David. He is called Christ, because he
was anointed to be prophet, priest and
king; Lord, because God has exalted his
name above every name; Jesus; because
he shall save the people. The personal
name. Jesus, is the dearest of all, occur-
ring seven hundred times in the New
estament,
Ir. Paul comforted. "The whole city
was in confusion" (Acts 19:29). but Paul
was calm. At Corinth he had been de-
jected, discouraged and afraid, but the
Lord cane to him in a vision by night
and comforted him and the comfort re-
mained. Nothing can hurt God's chil-
dren without his knowledge and his will.
Our worst enemies can only "kill the
body, but after that have nothing more
that they can do" (Luke 1214), .And
God will miraculously interpose to save
our lives, if it be for our good and his
glory.—A, C. M.

what it is he is feeding, k it a boy or

that the animals like th feed. The
first thing is to give thtsomething

Turnips, ,angels, sugar -beets, ensil-
age, are all good.. We have tried all
kinds of ensilage and roots, but a com-
bination of the different :succulent
feeds is beat. A preparation o. corn -en-
silage, roots and straw will give you
first-class results with a . pound of meal
a day to start with. A. man who is go-
ing to make a success of steer feeding
must start them well at the beginning;
must shove them right ahead and. keep
there going; if he does not he is making
a mistake. To give them the rightkind
of a beginning ration he mast give
them something extremely succulent,
say ensilage or roots or rape. Rape will
stand quite a bit offrost and so may be
cut and fed quite late in the season.
Roots improve with keeping. Ensilage
does not materially change and may be
fed even more advantageously later on,
because roots lose in 'weight, although
they improve in quality. Now get this
succulent 'ration into them for the first
month and unless you are catering lar
the Christmas market, give them no
meal the first month, just give this sue.
culent ration and they will eat it free-
ly, and you will be astonished at the
gains they will make. I have seen steers
make a hundred pounds in two weeks, <n -
credible as that may seem. Quick gains
and cheap gains arethe gains that will
make the money for you, because there
is a certain maintenance ration that you
have got to feed and what you can ptr.
auntie them to eat over vend abovethat
is the feed that makes the gain.
Start off with a Iittle .seal- Do not
start off with cornmeal or gluten or
wheat or barley or peas. Start in with
something light. Mix up equal parts
of oats, bran and barley. The steer's
digestive organs are not in a condition
to fully utilize a heavy meal; therefore,
I say, start in with something light to
get them going and gradually 'increase
it until at the end of a couple of months,
or say three months, they should be
getting three or four pounds a day. We
fed No. 2 frozen wheat to one bunch and
we found that we were not making
good gains, not as good as they were on
gluten and bran, and we had to increase
the quantity of frozen wheat very ma-
terially. It does not seem to have the
nutritive value that other grain has. It
seems to be quite palatable, but not so
valuable as a food. When we did in-
crease it by a pound a day we got about
as good results as we did from gluten
and bran. A man who is feeding for
about six months should never feed more
than eight or nine pounds of meal a day,
and that daily ration should be fed dur-
ing the last month only. He should
start in and gradually increase until he
ends up the last month with that quan-
tity • of meal, and that should be largely
cornmeal or gluten or oil meal, or if
feeding barley and oats or peas and
oats add a small amount of oil meal to
the ration during the last moth, and
that will give you more satisfactory re-
name. There is nothing neuite so good

Because it shows definitely that many
Men have wasted precious time on cows
that 'do not produce enough milk and
fat to pay the coat of feed. Thus, the
very. leen who say they have "no tines"
to take up cow testing are the very men
who unconsciously waste thousands of
valuable hours. There is time, appar-
ently, amongst the unthinking class of
farmers for attending to thousands of
profitless cows. With a herd of twenty
unselected cows (out of which probably
three are not making any profit) it
would take the small total of twentry
hours during the whole year, spread
over three days eaeh month, to keep
such simple records as would enable the
owner to select with certainty the most
economical producers. Why waste time

plus a little brain power, will materially

TESTED COWS.
Exhibition time will 'see some of the
finest looking cows on the fair grounds
that the admiring public could possibly
wish to see. Sleek appearence, general
thriftiness and show condition will be
appraised, continuity to type will he
judged, and point by point various char-
acteristics will be valued. Excellent as
they may be, these cows on exhibition
must submit to a further examination
before the ordinary patron is prepared
to award them first place in his estima-
tion. He will ask, and rightly so, can
this cow give a large yield of milk and
butterfat at a low cost? He cannot af-
ford to accept just a two days' high re-
cord; he needs a cow that will attend
strictly to business, the business of
making money for him, three hundred
days in the year. The one vital point
for hiin to ascertain is, does it pay ins
to keep this cow, is her profit sufficient
ly large? To this end he keeps records
of each individual cow in the herd; re•
cords of feed consumed. and milk and
fat produced, so that no doubt may lurk
in his mind as to each cow's capacity.
Cow testing associations make this as
easy as possible at a minimum expense.
The dairy division, Ottawa, beats the
oost of testing. and supplies blank forms
free. Several hundred cows in July had
over 850 lbs. milk and 28 lbs. fat to
their credit. Man+ individual records
total 5,000 Ibs. milk this season, while a
few choice specimens are already up to
7,000 and 8,000 lbs. milk, and 280 lbs.

FARM SCHOOLS IN BAVARIA.
Travelling Teachers Who Form Clubs
and Deliver Lectures.
"In order to promote agricultural
interest the kingdom of Bavaria has
established agricultural schools in al-
most every town," said Franz J.
Hofa.uer, of Munich, Germany.
"These schools are in charge of
teachers who in addition to an acad-
emic education must be versed in bot-
any,
otany, geology, chemistry, physics, zoo-
logy and natural history. At a time
when nothing is doing in the fields,
from November to March, these
schools are open, and the peasants
for a nominal fee can attend courses
on cultivation and fertilization of the
soil, the proper rotation of crops on
the same land, the best resources for
good seeds, irrigation and the raising
of stook. They are made acquainted.
with improvements and new inven-
tions in agricultural implements, the
adoption of which can be recommend-
ed. They ars taught the rudiments
of bookkeeping and other commercial
knowledge essential for the up to date
farmer.
`In the spring after these farmers
have returned to their work in the
fields it becomes the duty of the
teachers who instructed then during
the winter to travel from county to
county and to act as advisers to the
farmers. Much good results from the
travels of these teachers, By prac-
tioal suggestion to the farmers they
induce thein to make valuable im-
provements in the cultivation of their
farms.
"The wandering teacher helps to
form cooperative clubs for the joint
interests of a number of farmers in
one district. From time to time the
teacher has to lecture in these clubs
on any subject which might prove of
interest to the members, These visits
and lectures to the different districts
are entirely free to the people, since
the States assumes all expenses,
There is probably no other country
the world in which so much is
one by the State for its rural in-
abitants as is the ease in Bavaria,
Other German States have these agris.
) ultural schools, but their teachers
are not sent in such a practical way
direct to the places where they can
do the most good, as is done in Ba{
varix. The results of this commend,
able care have been very gratifying,"

AGE LIMIT.
(Rochester Herald.)
The wire plant of the United States
Steel corporation at Fair Haven, Conn.,
has withdrawn the ban against the em-
ployment of men over 45 years of age,
on account of the scarcity of help. An

offerings were 000 cattle, 500 sheep, 601
lambs, 1,000 hogs and 250 calves. There
was no important change in the condi-
tion of the market for cattle since Mon-
day, prices being well maintained at the

to absorb theta, a steady feeling pre-
vailed
