"The publican" was a tux collector, in the employ of the Roman Govern- ment, and so was looked upon as a traitor to, or as an outcast from, his own people, who hated their subpec- tion to a foreign power. The Phar- isee exalted himself in his prayer, the publican humbled himself. !he parable illustrates well the saying of Psalm 51: "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a con- trite kfeart, 0 God, thou wilt not de- spise." Compare alsii Ise. 57: 15. The old English poet, Richard Crashaw, writes: "Two went to pray? Or rather say One went to brag, the other to pray. One stands up close, and treads on high Where the other dares not send his eye; One nearer to God's altar trod, The other to the altar's God." Perhaps no prayer of penitence has been more often repeated than that of the publican, and it has often been the last uttered prayer of the soul about to meet its God. And it has many times been the wisest and best to whose lips it has come. They have put to the test and have proved the Savrour's words that "he that hurnbl- eth himself shall be exalted."

After one of PDT hired men had been with us a few weeks, I noticed that the horses began to look a great deal better than they- had before. They not only looked sleeker, but they took on flesh and did their work more easily; that, too, without using any more hay or grain. It was simply the euro the new man took of theme, He was always quiet when around the horses, he kept the pores of their skin open by the use of a good comb aud brush, and he was regular in doing his work. Seeing these things, I thought it was no more than fair that I should say so. And you should have seen how much higher the hired man step- ped after that. It was very plain that my good words had warmed his heartlie not only took better care of the horses after that than he had done; all the work he did on the farm was better. e 1 icy& Tires WILL SERVE YOU WELL EIVERYTHING that you could 1:4 ask for, in easy riding, extra mileage, staunch wear and freedom from ordinary tire troubles,you will find in.

Why iso't it just as reasonable to employ short cuts about the barn, in the chore work as in the regular farm work in the fields? A great many farmers are coming to decide that eib is, and your tip -to.' date farmer is using modern equip. ment about the 'farm buildings juet as ho is using modern equipment ix the field work. One of the 11105t ince portant of the time and labor saving forces he is using to -day is electrie- ity. Generally he gets it from ontj of these small, individual electric plants that can be installed in the tool house or garage, or in any abet convenient place about the premfees. This electricity he uses to light his home, first of all, of course. Then, if he and his hands are to work effec- tively, he will light his barns anti stables and the surrounding yarcle Most of the chores in certain seasons are done after dark, by aid of a lantern,. More of them would be done after dark if bright electric light were provided and that much more time would be saved for work in the fields. Then the 'farmer with electricity will use electric power to save steps, save work and save time. He will use electricity to pump the water. He will have this water stored under pressure eo that it is forced to the faucets, either at the house or barn, and no pumping or carrying is neces- sary. If there are many COWS to milk he will run the milking machine with an electric motor, and the farm boy who otherwise would be tempted to leave the farm to escape an uncon- genial job will be satisfied to stay and supervise so interesting an op- eration as milking by mechanieal means. Then this electnic power the farmer will use to turn his grind- stone, the corn shelter or grinder, the clippers for clipping horses, for cleaning seed, for a dozen different uses that will suggest them- selves wherever electricity is avail - Of course, the women folks will not fail to reap a benefit from it, too, for besides the modern lighting, the bath and indoor toilet, that electricity makes possible, the electric power gives them the vacuum sweeper, the electric vibrator with its healthful, beautifying msseage, and such house- hold machinery as electric washing. machines, churns, and the like. Then there is electric heat for repair jobs. like soldering, for the electric toaster 'or percolator, for the electric warm- ing pads for the sick room, for the flat iron and various devices all cal- culated to bring comfort, saving or pleasure to the farm family. How I Save on Roofing. "Nearly every year I used to have an old shed or outbuilding that need- ed repairing," says a farmer. "This was especially true of the roofs, which I noticed were the first things to go. It seemed to me that I had more leaky roofs than any other man in the country, and I always had some extra expense in the way of roofing. But I have now found a way to overcome this trouble and get my leaky roofs repaired at a much lower cost. "If the building happens to be an old one I never go to the expense of puttingan shingles or galvanized iron roofing, because thee, are too costly. The plain sheet -iron roofings that are not galvanized are not satisfac- tory in the way of ,service, After several years of experience with vari- ous roofings, I have discovered that the prepared roofings are the most serviceable of any, besides being much cheaper "When I apply this prepared roof- ing I never take the trouble to tear off the old roof fleet, because I have found it to be much easier and much more desirable to lay the new roofing right over the old one. I cut the roofing into strips so they are con- venient to handle, end 1 allow enough in the length so ,they can be turned down at the- ends. I then cement them at the laps with roofing cement, and also nail wooden trips, called battens, over these laps, making them more solid, • I Safety First. • i A handy method -of dieposak for. the gasoline tank on the farm is to" place the tank under proper shelter underground, with facilities for filling - the tank from the ,surface and a pump with which to force the gasoline from the tank to the automobile gas reser- voir, Such a system places the gas- oline out of danger ham a stray match, and puts it in a place where children cannot tamper evith it A force pump which will be very con- --'1-in temtransferring the gas from .0 -- motor or other the suppiy tank to receptacle may be purcimair at i' sliebt expense,
