The Huron Expositor, 1935-12-06, Page 3II yF; Lle`arth (Fire Stories Of Israel (By Charles Malcolm) (Continued from last week) Chapter VIII A NARROW ESCAPE There were five people in the fam- ily where Abram lived. There were -five, at least. Abram, his wife Sar- ah, his (brother Haran and Haran'.% little boy Lot, beside the old grand- father Terah. The neighbors came in frequently and they had Islome serious discus- sions about .their religion. The peo- ple always looked at Abram with an expression of wonder that he was really alive --they thought he should have :been a burnt sacrifice long ago! The neighbors' brothers had been sacrificed — the oldest from every house! Why not Abram? So, ,they began to look at the little 'boy as a possible sacrifice in a few more years. And they asked Abram and his father about it. But, Terah and Abram were determined' that Trot would not be a sacrifice! Absolutely NO! One day the neighbors turned to Haran, Lot's father, and inquired what he thought about it. "Well, so far as I am concerned," he said, "I can see no harm in it, but my father and my brother seem to think there is, so I guess ,that is what I think too." From that time on it was most un- comfortable for the family in Ur of the Clhalclees. Every time Sarah went down the street, she met some of her old neighbors, and they just turned their 'little noses up in the air .and walked right past her without noticing her at all. When the men went to the market place the men on the street shook their fists at them .and muttered something that sound- ed like, "We will get you yet!" It was most uncomfortable. Well, there is only one thing to do when things get like that. And Abram and his father decided to do that one thing. They packed their goods ready to move away. The peo- ple heard about it and didn't want them to go! They wanted to torture them a little more and then kill them 'but—let them go? 'Never! Of course, there was some excite- ment, and some confusion. Abram did not want to leave anything be- htind. They would (burn all their bridges! That is, they would burn 'their home, and their household goods and have nothing to come back to. Then, go! When everything was ready—it was evening time—they touched the snatch' and the house began to :blaze. LIQUID -v-- PASTE,. STOVE POLISII LASTING ,.

A noisy, angry crowd was gather- ing strength as they moved from street is street. Harem began to tremble! '.'It is because We are burning our god's!" he shouted -and r rushed into the house to get his gods. Albram and Terah stood (helpless, waiting for (Haran to come out again. But he did not come out! The roof fell in; the flames leapt high, and made the might like day. The niob was there, searching for Abram to kiln him. "He has made the fire," they said, "and we will have him -for a saeriiice yet!" There was no, time to lose. Abram turned around, tossedthe little fatherless sad across his shoulder, and with his wife and his old father ahead of him,' he ran down• the dark narrow streets 'of Ur. They found the city gate, and stumlbling along in the night, they made their way up the River RoaR. By morning they were twenty miles away. They rested till night came again. A month or so later, four ,people sat down one evening, all tired' with their long journey, and decided to make their me* home just where they were. And they called the place Haran.

Mr. and Mrs. Elmore Keys have returned home from their trip and are nicely settled in their home on the Babylon Line. The young people of the commun- ity met at the home of Mr. and 1VIrs. Elmore Stephenson on Friday even- ing and presented' them with a shower of niseellaneous articles and the following address: "To Mr. and Mrs. Eimbre Stephenson: We have gathered here to -night, to spend a so- cial evening with you, to express our congratulations and to show the es- teem in which you are held among the young people and in this com- munity. We therefore ask you to ac- cept these gifts as a token of our good wishes' for the future. We sin- cerely hope and trust that you may both have a long and happy 'married life. Signed on behalf of the Young People.—T. S. Beattie, President Y. P. S.; George Anderson," Crate Feeding Increases Poultry Income By a si.mlple method of crate fat- tening on a ration of finely ground home grains, boiled potatoes and sour milk, there is no reason whatever why a very barge percentage of the poultry marketed should not be m d> to qualify for grade Special and grade A, and thus return to the farmer a better revenue, states a circular on "Poultry Revenue," issued by the Do- m•inion Department iof Agriculture. There is an evident need for this cir- cular as only 23.93 per cent of the chickens inspected in Canada during a recent period qualified for grade A, and the reason for this very small percentage was that the chickens were not sufficiently fattened before they were marketed. There are various fattening mix- tures that give good results, but, as the circular explains, the point is to make use of the feed produced and available on the farm.

Tests show Kellogg's ALL -BRAN provides "bulk" to aid elimination. ALL -$RAN is also rich in vitamin B and iron. The "bulk" in ALL -BRAN is gen- tle. It resists digestion better than the fiber in fruits and vegetables, so it is often more effective. Isn't this food safer than risking patent medicines? Two tablespoon- fuls of ALL -BRAN daily are usually sufficient. If seriously constipatedc-, use with each meal. See your do tor, if you do not get relief. Use as a cereal, or in cooking.

The crates should be put in reasonably warm quarters free from draughts and the birds should be fed morning and, ev- ening, and the following ration is recommended: Equal parts oats, wheat, barley br rbuekwheat. Add boiled potatoes at the' rate of one- third of the total weight of the meal mixture. Mix with sour milk so that the mixture will pour easily. Fur- ther detailed information on crate fattening .may be secured by writing the Publicity and Extension Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, for 'Pamphlet No. 125 on pre- paring poultry for market, or inform- ation may be obtained from the var- ious provincial Departments of Ag- riculture. The crate feeding of the birds places the production of poul- try an a substantial financial basis. The winter feeding of the farm horse requires sbmewhat more thought than when he is engaged in heavy work art other times of the year. The horse in his attitude to man differs from all other clasees of stock, in that he produces energy and not food. This fact alone ex- plains to a large degree the greater prevalence of disease with horses than with other animals. The proper realization of the relation of feeding to work done, the avoiding of over- feeding and watering, or making sud- den radical changes, and regularity in working and feeding generally will go far towards the prevention of common ailments in the working horse, caused in many eases by fail- ure to observe the essential points every horseman ought to know. For the horse which is not working dur- ing the (winter, er for horses which merely require what may be termed a maintenance ration, it is recom- mended that for every hundred pounds of the horse's weight one (pound of clean oat straw and one pound of turnips should be fed. v/ _' x w I pµj1#11x I;Yj1 i SI I w K • b .. �<... .. ,, .
