FEEDING YOUNG ILEIFERS.
Good breeding will not make well de-
veloped heifers unless they are well fed.
It is absolutely folly to expeet that
heifer calves will develop into first
class cows if they are stunted When they
are young. It ti perfectly legitimete to
get a good ration at as low a cost as
poeeible, but nothing but failure can
eerie from trying to 'wee money by feed-
ing re, poore or insufficient ration.
The average daily ration fed two-year-
old heifers is as follows: Hay. eight
pounds; silage, twenty pounds; grain,
one,and a lialf patures. Tbe grain mix-
ture made up of 300 pounds of bran, 100.
pounds of eorinneal, and 100 pounds at
linseed meal.—Storr's E'xperiwental Sta-

SOMETHING NEW IN BARNS.
S. Yoder, a farmer living at, Ship-
eliewana, Indiana, is the designer and
builder of a unique cement barn. Be -
Bidet drawing up the plans and ,supen-
intending the construction, 'Mr. Year
invented a hay -carrying device that, pen-
Veya hay front the mow to any part of
the barn by gasoline power.
The barn iteelf is remarkable in shape,
ea it is a polygon with 12 equal sides
.and contains in its structure not a stiek
of wood from ventilator to cellar. One
of the unusual features of its construc-
tion is that the reinforcement in the
concrete is simply junk iron, mostly
from an old. bridge, but which served as
well as the material made and sold for
that pui pose. This iron was wound
with wire feneing to hold the cement
to the beams. and girders. Another
praeeworthy feature of the barn is the
entire absence of wooden doors and
evindow frames, for the doors are all
hung on the outside and the windows
are .attached by bolts imbedded in the
cement .while it was, soft.
The roof of this barn es of conclete'
tie well as the Wallis and it conforms- to
the shape of the sides, giving the struc-
ture a pleasing appearance. The ground
floor is arranged for caftle, and honees.
30 horses and vows. The second floor
is a thrething floor and is approached
by an old highway bridge, used as re-
inforcement with the cement. The hay
mow is very -roomy, and the ventilator
is eaet cn an iron wheel tins, made by
lenockire out the spokes of an old: spur-
red bar ineter Wheel: In mixing and
conveying the cement the farmer called
his gasoline engine into use, with nous
siders.ble saving of labor. The barn
complete eoet $1,700, not ineluding the
work of the farmer and his horses and
help. --Canadian Farmer.
SOIL IIOISTURE AND 'WEEDS.
Moisture is the limiting factor in crop
production—that being the case it is im-
portant to make good use of the rain.
It is not how much rain that counts.
but now nut& of it gets into the eat
anil is held there till the crop needs it.
When wheat erop ean have 15 -in. of rain-
fall in the soil it can produce 40 bush -
cls per acre, and corn can make 50 bush-
els. A. A. half pound of dried weeds on
each squareyard will take up enough
moisture to reduce the wheat 20 bush-
els per acre and corn 24 bushels. There
is only (me way to make sure of the
amount of weeds in a field, and that is
to cut them on a square yard and weigh
them. If this is done at harvest time,
the weed's dried. mid then weighed, a
very accurate meaeure will be secured
of the damage done by the weeds. The
moisture that the weeds take is just
where the crop Can get it.—North Da-
kota College.

• —Robert Louis Stevenson,
Many farmers are grazing all their
stock itt the same pasture fields. Where
sheep are kept in conjunction with other
istoek, they pasture the grass so closely
that the cattle tray have trouble in ob-
taining enough to satisfy their appetites
and their needs. Where grass is abund-
ant, no bad effects linty follove the prac-
tice of pasturiing all in the same field,
but as the season advances the amount
of herbage will beconle lees ani less, and
the elose-feeding sheep, if kept itt large
numbers, will crop it so elthely duet the
rattle Will be unable to obtain leaflet-
ent feed. As fields are cleared of hay
or grain, they can profitably be used as
;sheep pasture, save where there •is clo-
ver to preserve against their dettroyhig
nippers. Sheep feed so elosely and at
so many of the different kinds of weed
that they are very profitable to use ris

or how, that it Was beat for them to

• On thie one point we are ail agreed
—we would like to hear 'of aome •power
able te east out fear,-
- Very well, flien, let us think first of
St.. Paul and then of that Master from
whom -St. Paul learned alt that he ever
knew of noble Bring, Who better then'
St. Paul is able to say whet power is

Inv dear Scouts is the first word of
advice I want to give you. Learn the
thirteenth chapter of St. Paul's first
letter tie the Corinthians by heaet.
You tan easily do it. Take two verses
a day for a week, and learn them day
by day, and then you will learn St.
Paul's secret, and little by little, as you
try to lie -e your lives in the spirit of
Perfeet love. which Pbearethall things,
believed), all thing, hopeth alt thing's,
endereth all things," you, too, will
cease to be afraid,
But latest of all, look up from the
fears whieh beset you to the life of
your Master. See how greatly He loved!
See how absolutely fearless His love
made him! Try for one moment to mens
tion the word "fear" in eonneetion with
any word or net of theme How absurd,
how impossible, the thought seems!
The fear of "danger"? Wiry, His
whole public life was spent in passing
from one scene of peril to another.
The fear of "public opinion"? Jesus
never lost an opArtunity of exposing
what was mean and narrow and base
in those who were most popular and
most powerful.
The fear of death? Jesus lived the life
He did, knowing that for suclt a life in
Jerusalem there could be only one end—
a death on the cross.
In the books which Scouts read you
will come upon many a record of splen-
did heroism; but you need read only
one book, the Bible, you need study Only
one life, the life of esus, to see how
'perfect love easta out fear.' 11 was the
Master's unquestioning, unfaltering
obedience even unto death. '
It eves the Master's absolute forget-
fulness of His own sufferinge, His
own sorrows, and His own pain which
made St. Pani know that there is "no
fear in love."

THE COMFORTER.
(By G. licLuekie, B. A. of Great Yar-
mouth.)
You will find the words of OUT text
this morning in Psalm ladie. 20 "I
looked for comforters but found none."
'We have gathered from our lemons this
morning something of the mood of the
Pealmist when he made his uttersinee,
and I fancy it is easy for all of us to
appreciate the Psalmist in this mood
of his. It is a mood of despondency, of
broken gpiritedness with the murky
elouds banked heavily about his life, and
he feels himself to be the butt of many
an adversary. At any rate, I am sure
of this; there is one type of man in par-
tieular who finds it very, very difficult
to give the Psalmist hie sympathy. He
Li the hale and hearty man, the man
who is strong of limb and sound of
wind, who knows not a dare illness,
the man who hes never had to *go
through the mill, who has not yet dis-
covered his powers, the man who is fond
of the openetir life and who goes hunt-
ing, fishing, golfing or yaehting, and
i
who revels n the bracing wind, that
blows over moor or sea. He has never
tramped the hot and dusty pavement of
le city day after day looking for work
and not finding it. He has never heard
his children crying for bread and felt
stung by the thought of his powerless-
ness to respond to that appeal. He has
never awakened to the discovery that
his favorite bank has gone crash, and all
the careful savings of a lifetime have
disappeared.
Now, the temptation of this practical
type of man when he reads the 69th
Psalm is to say 'Oh, this fellow's got
the blues.' I sometimes think that it
is 'very doubtful Wisdom on our part to
have dropped dhe occasional practice of
fasting,. not from the point of view per-
haps of disciplining our appetite, 'but
from the point of view of sympathizing
with the man who fasts because per-
force he has got nothing to eat. But
let us make no mistake. If we could
run through the whole world to -day
and hold epetele with men of every tang,— enesesses'
clime, social grade, we should find 'any
in whose hearts there was the echo of
the Psalmistle condition, ,men full of
heaviness looking for some to take pity;
looking for comforters and finding
none.
ANGEL REAPERS.
"The angels are the reapers," I am
glad they are the revere, because they
have a three -fold vision, and because
they have, been with tete from the be-
ginning. They see the tides of heredity
and mark the strain, the stress and the
stmm. They see the submerged part of
me, which is unexploreble by man. They
see the environment acting on the soul,
and the soul rising in its might and
expelling uotriendlyarisitors. They dis-
criminate; they see what helps,what
hinders; where men blame mueh, they
blame little, what mete deem heavy, they
deem light. Thi
They see men like cebergs
