That extends for three inches, or more,
Then I nudge myself inwardly, thinking,

While inditing small verses for you,
And I often have wondered if, reading my

You were thorn as a resident, too.
ONCE WE WERE STRANGERS TO
CHRIST.
Onoe we wore strangers to grace and to
Go&
We knew not the danger in which wo then
trod ;
Though friends then did point us to Christ
on the tree,
In that blessed Saviour wo nothing could
see.
We oft road for pleasure, to soothe or en-
gage,
Prom t bt blessed Book, that now snored
page;
But e'en when they pictured that blood
sprinkled tree,
In Jesus our Saviour we nothing could
BOB.
Like tears from the daughters of Zion that
roll,
We wept when the waters went over some
soul;
Yet thought not that our sins had nailed to
the tree,
That dear, loving Saviour who died there
so free.
When free grace awoke us, by light from
on high,
At the terrors of darkness we trembled to
die;
To no refuge, no safety in this world could
sure flee,
In Josue our Saviour we all things could
nee.
Our terrors all vanished at that clear sacred
name,
Our guilty fours banished as with boldness
we Dame
To drink from the fountain that flows
there so free,
Now in Jesus our Saviour wo all things
can see.
Jehovah is now our treasure and boast,
While safe on Rio bosom wo neer can bo
lost,
In him wo shall conquer through lies and
blood,
BOB'our Cable, our Anchor, our Trust and
our God.
When we trend the dark valley, the shadow
of death,
Thi,i watchword shall rally our last filter-
ing breath,
As from this world's trials our God sets no
free,
Jehovah, our Saviour, our death song shall
be. W. Il.

Recent experiments with feeding
for mills demonstrates that ensilage
gave as much butter as hay, bran
and meal fed together, and therefore
ranks as an economical food. It is
best however to use it as a supplement
t0 other foods. The churning qual-
ity of milk was found to bear no ex-
act relation to the chemical composi-
tion, and the churn is therefore the
only reliable implement for determin
ing the butter quality of milk in pl'ac-
tiaal dairying.
