Pomeroy did not want to leave Charlestown which, during his long im• prlsonment, had come to seem like home to him. Even 0101101 a hatter lite, in the country, awaited him, he was dissatisfied, peevish, almost surly, when the time came for him to start, According to Charles Druty in the Bos- ton Herald, where Pc read further: Deprived of the privileges of being conbldered "famous" and permitted to accept little revere from eisiLors, and to occasionally'thee a little flyer In the stock market; Dotnei'oy :was, listed at tete farm as • just "notorious,", and told that he will live out the remain. -der of hes life as alt ordinary 'donvIot- transtes'ee.

He said he had had ice-oream, but never saw it in a Couo_ before; then he munched it and enjoyed it, One stop was in front of a news. paper office, A huge bulletin board, with red and bide letters announced that •Pons/roy had :been transferred, and the bulletin described him' as 'Boy Slayer." Though he had lost • the sight of ono eye and the sight of the other is dimmed, he read' the bulletin, and. asked why eu much should` be made of so little an affair, and why the world persisted in calling him slayer. Ahead, obscuring the road, was a dense cloud.. Then it cleared a little and the transfer. officers told Pomeroy' it was the dust raised by an airplane which just landed'at the Brockton .air port. Billie Robinson slowed down to avoid the dust. The plane roared and lifted, and Pomeroy saw the big ewe rise gracefully and sail away.

' Garin Notes HOG- FEEDING TROUGHS. Three types of hog 'troughs have boon tried at the Experimental Farms of the Dept. of ,Agriculture at Ottawa. These were made of wood, galvanized iron, and of concrete. The wooden troughs have been found t0 be the meet eerviceablo and have the further advantage in that they 'tnay be ecu• structed.,at home. The Dominion Ani- mal Husbandman, in his report .for. 1928, favors the V-shaped trough be- cause it is more resistant than other shapes to hard usage and it simply made: The ttvc sides are :'nailed 'te- gethor in rho shape of a V and the ends nailed on. These ends it is re- commended, should be extended at .oast twelve inches beyond the edge or, lip of the lee tell in order to make it more stable and fess easily tipped over by the hogs when feedin,.,. Pine, spruce, hemlock," or other similar ,;Dods are ,suitable,; The ioaterial should be two inches in thickness and eight 01' ten inches wide for moot feeding purposes' The upper ...tee of the finished traegh' should be sheeted with galvan.zed iron eo preterit thein against the chewing of the hogs, These troughs . sitauld not be nailed; down but left so that, they can be tnov ed from place to -place and easily cleayed when necessary, Galvanized or othel metal troughs are more eas- ily broken and bent `hon wood and. are difficult' to repairs Concrete troughs that are sometimes builtinto a cement floor are more difficult to keep clean than: a moveable trough. hen these are installed the. Dominion Animal Husbandman recommends ,that the bottom' of the trough be slightly above the floor levet. To facilitate `the easy cleaning of the permanent trough a drainage hole should be left in one end and a wooden plug kept inserted in it, . The wooden trough has the further advantage over the cement or metal trough in that the feed does not _hill so quickly in it during ne cold Weather. SHIPPING CRATES'FCR,HOGS. Piro ExQerinhental.Fartns ship out a great' many hogs eor breeding pur- poses, using individual crates in most cases.. In his •eport.for 1928 publish- ed by the Dept, of Agrieelture at Ot- tawa, the Dominion Animal I-Iusband- man describes the metho•_' of cote structingea strongsattd rigid crate that is light in weight. The sine of the crate for hogs of different weights are: for hogs up to 75 pounds, 9 inches wide, 2 feet high, and 2 feet 10 inches long; from. 75 to 100, pounds the di- mensions have to be increahad to 10 inches in width, 2 feet 2 inches in height, and 3 feet in length. Hogs from 100 to150 pounds require a crate 1foot wide, 2 feet 6 inches high, and 3 feet 8 inches long. From 150 to 200 po.:ods the width sho'ald be 1 foot 2 inches, the height 2 feet 6 inches, and length 4 feet. In constructing a crate it ie first necessary to nail the floor firmly into the two floor skids then assemble each side and attach as a trait : ud nail in one end, The other end should con- sist of a removable gate set into grooves. Cross pieces should be placed' across the top binding the two sides together. Spr or pine is satisfac; tory 'wood to t,sb. The floor skids should be 2 inches square and of the required length, and the lower sats on each side and on the ends should be flush with the floor, The spaeing be- tween the side slats should not exceed 21/4 inches, Those -are bound together with two uprights, or for the large crates a third one may be placed in the centre. .The crate may' be constructed en- tirely of 4 -inch material, five-eighths of an inch in thickness, but for the lower slats on each side wider boards np to V or 8 inches may be used ac- cording to the experience of the Do- minion Animal Husbandman, SELF FEEDERS FOR HOGS. teal Husbandman, Tho methods and. results of the test'are gtvenin his Re- port for;1e28, puelishcd•by.the Dept; of Agriculture, Ottawa,' �anadi,.. h Saliyaori Prices Adv ..l nce Excessive Demand in Europe, Takes.

This is particularly so in the case of newly weaned pigs, although a well balanced protein ration supplemented with milk by-products: would appear to permit the use of the self feeder for the younger classes of bacon type hogs. .In -his report for 1928 publish- ed by the. Dept, of Agriculture at Ot- tawa, the Dominion Animal ufisband man states- that acme' surprisingly good results havebeen obtained from using the selffeeder throughout the entire feeding period, In too many cases, however, it is shown by exper- ience at the Experimental. Farms that. the uee of the self feeder has a tend- ency to result in a thinker type of hog than is usually produced by nareful trough feeding, BUTTERMILK COMPARED WITH BUTTERMILK POWDER.. In the feeding of hogs at the Ex- perimental Farm at Ottawa each of two lots of five pigs Was fed on an ordinary meal ration, while one lot received buttermilk and the other but- termilk 'owder. The teat was con- tinued for 98• days. The,. meal was fed at the rate of 4 per cent• of the live weight of the ewes, Buttermilk powder was mixed in water at the rate of two pounds to eight gallons of water, this solutior was fed at the same rate as the buttermilk, Gains made by the ..ors were net wisely dif- ferent,. Those rece,iving the butter- milk powder required 2,4,4 .pounds of meal ;ler pounds of gain, while those fed buttermilk made a pound of agin on 2,2 feetuds of meal, Tho total cost of the -teed in the ':ase of buttermilk powder fed lot was $44,55 and for the buttermilk $44.82, The cost per pound of gain, charging 8 cents . per pound for buttermilk powder and 80 cents per 100• pounds for buttermilk, am- ounted to $7.02, as compared with $6.47 from 'pigs that received butter- milk. In this test 1,616 pounds of meal and 152 pounds ;of buttermilk powder roved to be equal in feeding value to 1,460 pounds of meal and 3,970 pounds of buttermilk, or with meal valued at $42 per ton and, but- termilk at $6 per ton, the powder had a relative value of t',53 cents per pound 1. $70 60.;per •.ton.

II. THE FEAST OP TH: SEVENTH NMONTI, vs, 13-18, INTRODUCTION—Ezra seems to have brought with him from Babylon a new edition of the ancient, taw, the origin of wh.ot• was ascribed to Moses. It is difficult foil us to understand why the priests and the people of Judah should have been ignorant of this IOW, We are told In Exodus of the "book of the covenant" (24: '1),which contained the laws in ells. 20-3, or part of then, and of the "two tables of testimony, tables'of stone, written with the finger of God," "tables of the covenant," which were put in the ark and pre- served there (Exod. 24: 12; 31.: 18; Dent, 9: 10, 11; 10: 1-5), We are told also in Deuteronomy that the !sing must "write im a copy of this law in a book," and "read therein all the days of his life." In this case the law referred to may be the code con- tained in chs. 12-26, and may be the lost .>r forgotten book King Josiah (2 I{ings 22: 8-10), whose reforms, based upon this book, coincide closely with the requirements of Deuteronomy. There' le also the story ,of Samuel, last ofthe judges, who chose, under divine direction, the • first kings of united Israel, and who "told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and -aid it up before the Lord," (1 Samuel 10: 25; compare 8: 10-22). During the long period of exile in Babylon there must have been great danger that these ea'•iier books would be lost, and it seems to have been due to men re the Spirit and mind of Ezra •that both history and late, of the'early times war nresereed and copied and made available for the estored commur-ity. r 1, THE READING OF THE t.AW', es, 1-12. In this chapter Ezra. the priest and Nehemiah the ' governor appear he: gether in a great religious service con- tinuing eight days, in which, the people are instructed in the arreent law, and the custom of celebrating the feast ..f tabernacles, long neglected, is renew- ed. Ezra had come to Jerusalem on his mission of teaching and reform fourteetlyears before, and at first, ap- parently, had had some measure of success (Ezra 9-10),. But, on the whole, his mission does not seam to Mee prospered. He may have lacked Power to enforce the law which he pro- claimed, and which at first he per- suaded some of the people to accept. Or there may have been a determined and well organized oposition to its enforcement. The Water .ate (v, 1) was on the eastern side of the city, overlooking the Virgin's Spring, The book of the laws of Moses, wltuh Ezra brought, robnbly contained most, if not all, the laws of: the Pentaterch, andrepre- Sents the first collection of canonical • book of the law (the Pentateuch); and to this day it is their only sacred apd authoritative- Scri•,ture, The Greek, "First Book of Esdras" (,that is Ezra) says of him, " Esdrrs had very great skill, so that he omitted nothing of the law and commandments of the Lord, but taught all Israel the ordinances and judgments," Ezra stood upon u pulpit of wood, or rather "a wooden platform," upon which .others also were sta;,ding, At the beginning Ezra blessee the Lord, the great_ God- _t, is not easy I,., under- stand just how the reading and teach- ing was done. Most robably Eera read first for all who could understand and tallow his reading, and then chosen men (v. 0) gathered the people in groups aid caused them to understand the reading. It' nest have required som, such organized plan to; convey instr•iction . to some thousands of ,peo- ple. However it was 'dorm, Ezra and his helpers were able to snake clear to all the demands of their law anti. religion, and to make them realize that this was the most important thing in their 'eves. Tirshatha is a Persian word and is here the title of the governor, The statement made in some commentaries that this reference to Nehentiat is an interpolation and does not roperly be- long to the story seams to be quite without foundation. All the people wept, realizing how, ignorant and neglectful they had been of. these important matters (compare' 2 Kings 22: 10-11). Weeping and laughter are often closely jwned, and these simple folk, when comforted by their leaders and bidden make the day a holiday, soon tinned their veepieg into great mirth, Their mirth, we may be sure( was not lessened by the dis- position to send porti,>t,s to those who were el need, For, they_learned, the joy -if the Lord is your strength, that is, r' doubt, the joy experienced in doing the Lord's w111, II, THE FEAST OF THE SEVENTH MONTH, vs, 13-18, For the taw governing the time and order of this festival see Lev. 23: 38- 36 and 39-43; Exod- 23: 16 ("the feast of ingathering"); anti Nut. 16: 18-15. The ritual is set forth' in de- tail in Num. 29: 12-38. The festival seem_ to have had, like the Passover, a double meanir ;, Tt celebrated the ingathering of Nee ft harvest and so the et. of the old economic year, and it also commetnnr'ated the dwelling in tents during the long period of their life in the wilderness before the con- quest and settlement of Palestine, The going out of the narrow, crowded quarters of the ei}la>.ee and towns into the fields, orchards, and vineyards, where they liver: in booth's made of olive branches, pine, myrtle and palm, must have been both healthful and delightful. The statement in v, 17 that since the days of Joshua .(Joshua.) they had rot done so must have been made by a writer unacquainted with'2 Kings 7: 8-10 aim 8: 13, See also Ezra 3: 4 and 1 Dings OE: 2, 65, 06, Or, it is pos- sible, that he means to say that the feast had not been kept since Joshua, Strictly according to the law.
