LESSON FOR MARCH 8 WATCHFULNESS. I (Temperance Lesson.) ! LESSON TEXT "Luke 12:35-48. GOLDEN TEXT "Blessed are those iservants whom the Lord when he eometh shall find watching."-Lake 12:37. The words of Jesus are the greatest authority the believer has upon which to found his belief in the Second Com ing. Some refuse to have much to do 'with this important theme because oth ers have perverted It or elBe "overly emphasized it" yet in the 260 chapters! in the New Testament there are 318 distinct references to this theme, a far , greater proportion than is placed upon some of the doctrines upon which whole denominations have been found' ed. Relative Value. I. The exhortation to watch, w. 35 40. This is the beginning of a new paragraph. Jesus has been showing the relative value of material posses sions and the Kingdom of God and epitomizes his teaching in v. 34. He now sets before his disciplines what shall their attitude towards him during his absence (II. Pet. 3:11, 12 R. V., Ti tus 2:13; II. Tim. 4:8). Thus to be watchful seems to contradict his sug gestlons about anxiety. We need to remember, however, that the child of the Kingdom is in entirely new .relationship with the world. His desire is not for self enrichment but rather to be in such relations with God as his rights demand and thus to bring to others their highest good. This par able epitomizes opportunity. Rightly to make use of none's opportunities spells happiness for the disciple when he the king shall appear. The evidence that we are watching for his appear ing consists of the readiness of the in dividual who is or Is not watching, v. 35; I. Pet. 1:13. Jesus knocks at the individual heart (Rev. 3:20) but when he comes 'twill be to be present at a feast, v. 36. We cannot contract this time and there is no call to service to morrow. Lions girt, ready for the bat tle or for the race, and lamps burn ing, (light Is always the result of some thing belug consumed), are today's vis Ible evidence of continuous service. Peter's Question. II. The explanation to Peter, w. 41-48. Between this parable and the one which fellows, Peter interrupts by asking the question, "Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even un to all?" That which follows is hlB an swer to that Question but it is also a continuance of the teaching just given In this part Jesus refers to stewards (bond-servants) that it is their su preme business to seek the Kingdom by selling in order to give. The one work of a servant is to give to the members of an household, each in due .season bis portion of the father's bountiful gTace. John 21:16-17: I. Pet 6:2; Jer. 8:16. There are many de ceitful servants who first feed thorn- selves, or feed only a portion of the household, or who feed chaff rather than bread, even the true bread of life, I. Pet. 2:2; 4:10, 11. Jesus teaches us that each bond-servant shall likewise be Judged and that suddenly. 111. The exhortation. Jesus Christ here presents to us the fact that we shall all be judged. That the measure of our reward or of our punishment is dependent upon the measure of our -knowledge and of our opportunity, James 4:17. To him to whom much is given, of him shall much be re quired. Our present responsibility is that of being ready for the coming of the King and of his Kingdom. The ex pression of that readiness is evidenced by our lives of service. There are of course many other phases of service not Included In this parable, but our Lord is emphasizing opportunity, stew ardship, service, watchfulness. In or- aerlo fulfill our service we must enter Into fellowship with the king in his reign, and those who enter Into that fellowship, who are faithfuL he will reward vv. 37, 43. The measure of our punishment is conditioned upon the measure of our knowledge (v. 48) and our knowledge can be enlarged as we use our opportunities. IV. The Golden Text, (v. 37). Is intended to fix our attention upon the acts of our Lord when he shall return It seems astonishing that he shall com pel those whom he finds watching to seat themselves that he may gird him self and serve them. Here we gird ourselves that we may serve him by serving others (Matt 25:40). But in that tomorrow the day ot his victory, be win gird himself and serve those who have been watchfulness and obe dient servants. This is a suggestion ot the exceeding grace mentioned by the Apostle Paul, Rom. 11:33. . V. The Temperance Lesson is sug gested by the conduct of those who are not watching for the King's ap pearing (v. 45). They were indulging- in the animal pleasures of the moment The Kingdom of God Is not in eating and drinking but consists of righteous ness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit Rom. 14:17. The effect of in temperance on the death rates, on the next generation, from an economic standpoint or viewed from any angle,, Is only the result of the most criminal shortsightedness. A clear apprehen sion of the fact of the imminence of his return would change all lives. LIVC c3 y wu SILAGE TO THE BEEF CATTLE Results Given of Careful Tests Made With Corn at Missouri Station Excellent Finisher. The Missouri experiment station has recently published the results of some careful tests of corn silage as feed for ' beef cattle. It was found that a ton of silage! was approximately equal to one-half ton of clover bay when fed in connec-' tlon with shelled corn and linseed oil meal, or with shelled corn and clover ' hay, or with shelled corn, linseed oil meal and clover hay. Estimated on the basis of net profit per steer, a ton of dry matter in the form of corn silage yielded 50.3 per cent, greater value than a ton of dry matter In the(form of shock corn. A ration in which silage and clover hay were used was much more profita ble than a ration in which silage con stituted the only roughage. Oue of the most conspicuous feat ures of the test was the notable su periority of the ration in which lin seed oil meal was used and those in charge of the tests concluded that "it is desirable to feed some high protein concentrate in the ration, if the most extensive use is to be made of corn silage in fattening cattle." The results indicate that fattening cattle which receive corn silage as the only roughage do not continue to do well for longer than about ninety days. A superior finish is obtained on fat tening cattle which are marketed in the spring when silage composes a part of the ration. The lot of steers which received a ration of shelled corn, linseed oil meal. corn silage and clover hay made the Excellent Beef Type. greatest gains in live weight, produced the most economical gains, were the best finished and, yielded the greatest profit. SORE SHOULDERS OF HORSES Young Animals Are Especially Prone to Cellar Bruises Prevention Is Best Solution. (By E. T. BAKER. Veterinarian, Idaho Experiment Station.) With the advent of spring work comes shoulder and foot troubles in horses. Toung animals, especially, are prone to collar bruises, on mo co'iut of jumping around, uneven pulling and jerking, which offsets the effect of the best setting collar. First of all, remember prevention is the easiest eolution of the problem. The old-fashioned method of bathing the shoulders with an oak bark solu tion, alternating with cold water, sev eral weeks prior to working, thereby hardening and "tanning" the skin, was a good one. This, of course, is a tedious job on a big ranch wih many. horses, but will repay on colts. A large collar is just as bad as tight one, and be careful that It is not lumpy. X firm, snug-fitting col lar, with rood Dads, of course, is best As" a substitute for the oak bark, try tannic acid in alcohol or glycerine, in a 10 to 20 per cent, solution.

SHEEP WILL KILL W00DTICK Grazing of Animals on Infected Grounds Would Rid Them of Plague, Says Government Expert. That sheep are sure death to the wood tick, cause of the dreaded spot ted fever, seems to be borne out by an experiment conducted by Dr. L. D. Prick, a government expert. Doctor Flick placed about 150 woodticks on six sheep,' dividing them equally among the animals. Of the ticks placed on the sheep all but six waie found dead 48 bouFs later, 'and the six are believed to have dropped to the ground. The grazing of sheep on in fected grounds, it is suggested, would rid them of this plague. Twentieth Century Farmer. Feed Pigs Separately. It Is always a good plan to feed pigs In a separate pen.

V!t$$-ynf Vji 1 ML, INCREASED VALUE OF LANDS Advance Is Due Essentially to De creased Cost of Hauling Different Farm Products to Market. It is a matter of common observa tion that, when any community has passed from a condition dominated by bad roads to a condition which la characterized by good roads, land val ues in that community advance. It is plain that no system of good roads can directly improve the soil fertility or the quality of farms. It Is equally true that good roads can and do di rectly improve the site value, or ths value which accrues to the farm by A Southern Road Before Improvement. virtue of Its situation with respect to markets, schools, and towns, and the accessibility of these. In dealing with this matter of in- creased farm values from a strictly ctuuuuiiL Biauuiiuiui, ii uas ueeu pointed out and It is worth remember ing, that where farms have advanced In value the advance is due essentially to decreased hauling costs. The ad vance in farm values, In other words, measures partly the Increased value of the farm as a plant for the business of fanning. That increment of value which is due to those things that are described as social advantages or im proved social conditions has no nu merical measure. When his road Is Improved the land owner appreciates the improvement and frequently sets an increased value upon his land. It is difficult, however, to analyze the entire Increment ot value which follows good roads. There Is no doubt that the cost of good roads Is met by some form of taxa tion, which, in many instances, oauses the land owners to add to the selling price of their land that amount which they estimate the Rood .road has cost. them in taxes. 1 This process is more distinctly ob served In city property transfers, where direct assessments for sewers, sidewaPks, and pavements are Invari ably added to the original cost of the property. The important point that is becoming more and more understood by land owners is that good roade re quire a considerable investment of capital, and furthermore that such an Investment Is a paying one. Here are a few Instances of actual conditions which have been observed in various parts of the country. In Lee county, Virginia, a former owned 100 acres between Ben Hur and Jonesville, which he offered t sell for $1,800. Two or three years ago this road was improved, and although that farmer fought the improvement, he has since refused $3,00 for his farm. Along this same road a tract of 188 acres was supposed to have been sold for $6jD00. The puKhMer refused the contract and tine owner threatened to aue him. After the road Improvement, and without any im provements upon the land the same farm was sold to the original purchas er for $9,000. In Jackson county, Alabama, the people voted a bond Issue of $250,M0, for road improvement and improved 24 per cent, of the roads. The 1900 census gave the value of all farm lands In Jackson county as $4.90 per acre. The selling price at that time, The Same Road After Improvement. was from $6 to $15 per acre. The last census gives the value of Jack son county farm lands as $9.79, and the selling price is now from $15 to $25 per acre. The price of farm land, like that of any other commodity. Is ruled by the relation between supply and demand. When the price of farm land advances it measures a readjustment between the supply and the demand. This re adjustment, In some cases, is sharp and immediate. One distinct item of increased values is becoming more, evident from year to year; that Is, immigration into the rural districts where road conditions are favorable, especially is this true with regard to owners ot automobiles. There are repeated instances of this kind in New England and those states which have been active in improving their roads. Favors Immigration. Immigration is particularly marked where road conditions are favorable; in fact, the figures of the department Beem to Indicate that good roads in directly increase the demand for rural property; and the price of farm land, like that of any commodity, is ruled by the relations between demand and supply.
