LIV? SiOCK Daily Rations for Draft Horses, Mares and Colts Experimental and demonstration work by the University of Missoifrl College of Agriculture shows: That draft horses averaging in weight approximately 1,G00 pounds and which did 4.8 hours a day aver age farm work, required an average dally ration of 14.91 pounds of grain ami 17.12 pounds of timothy hay. That brood mares may be used effi ciently for farm work, but the yearly feed required by them is 20 per cent greater than the cost of feed required by gelding or "dry" mares doing the same work. That brood mares .working and nursing foals required 47 per cent mo;* grain anil 32 per cent more hay ' daily during the suckliog period than dry mares. That foals during the suckling period consumed an average daily ra tion of 3.58 pounds of grain and 1.35 pounds of hay, in addition to their mother's milk. That draft colts consumed an aver age dally ration of 6.68 pounds grain, 7.42 pounds hay daily from weaning time until they were turned in pas ture in the spring, a period of 219 days, during which time they gained 830 pounds and weighed at the close of. the period 830 pounds. That it required 4.40 pounds of grain and 4.83 pounds of hay to pro duce one pound gain on draft .'colts from weaning time until turned on pasture the next spring. That in using a grain ration com posed of 2 parts corn, 2 parts oats, 1 part bran, it required 10.40 bushels of corn, 18.30 bushels of oats and 202.9 pounds of bran to keep draft colts in good growing condition from weaning time until they were turned on pasture. That 15 pounds of corn silage, 8 pounds oat straw, fed with 8 pounds grain is a satisfactory ration for horses doing light work during the winter months. Sows Must Have Exercise? as Farrowing Time Nears As farrowing time approaches the sow should be In good condition, but not fat. If growth?produclng feeds have been used during pregnancy and the ration kept bulky by using ground oats, ground alfalfa or skim milk, the sow should be In this shape. Watch her carefully, making her exercise each day. A few days before she Is to far row put her In a pen and let her be come accustomed to her surroundings. Include a little wheat bran or linseed oil meal In her ration to prevent cost iveness, which Is common at this time. The farrowing pen should be dry and -well ventilated. Spread straw on the ground, but not enough to let her build a deep nest. Pieces of 2 by 4 nailed around the outside of the farrowing pen about eight Inches from the floor and eight Inches from the wall will tend to keep the sow from crushing her pigs against the walls. After farrowing, the sow should re ceive no feed for from 24 to 30 hours, being given only lukewarm water. She should then be fed a small amount of feed for a day or so, and the ration can then be gradually Increased. The bulky feeds used during pregnancy are not in order now, for the gains secured on the suckling pigs will be the most efficient gains they will ever make. Skim milk tankage, ground oats, mid dlings and Unseed meal are all good to supply bone-and-muscle-maklng ma terial, while corn or barley may be used liberally in combination with any of the above mentioned feeds. Good mothem with large litters will usually lose flesh, despite the most lib eral feeding. ? T. J.

The general fertility and productiveness of the land will be materially increased through a deposit of an even coat of fertilizer and humus matter. Economical Production of Pork Depends on Grass Economical pork production depends upon plenty of good pasture during the summer months, both for the pigs and the old sows, and also upon seeing to it that not only the sows, hut also the pigs, are constantly supplied with a well balanced ration. Ago to Wean Lambs. '?' > Lambs should be weaned when they are about three or four months of age. Unless this la done they will nurse until late in the fall and cause the ewes to go Into winter quarters la poor flesh. C Milk for Pigs. Six pounds of skim milk to two pounds of corn-cob meal gives an economical feeding ration for growing pigs. A 100-pound shote will make very satisfactory gains on two sacb feeds a day. > IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SundaySchool ' Lesson 1 (By REV. P. B. FITZ WATER, D. D..

Thou , knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Preference material ? .John 1:15-42; John 18:10-11; 20:1-10. 21.1 23. ^PRIMARY TOPIC? Peter, the Helper ?'jlJNIOR TOPIC? The Leader of the Intermediate and senior top rp Peter's Failures and Successes, 7ounc people and adult topic ?Peter's Weaknesses and Strength. I. His Name. (John 1:42). The name which lie bore when In troduced to Christ was Simon, which means "hearing." But Jesus gave him a new name? "Peter," which means "rock." This showed what he was to become. ( II. Hi* Call. (John 1:41. 42). His brother Andrew brought him to Christ. This brought him into fellow ship with the Lord. From ordinary dlscipleship lie was called to special ministry (Luke 5:10). From being a fisherman he 'was called to catch men. III. Peter's Character. 1. Sincere. What Peter was at heart could be read on his face. He was free from duplicity. People could understand him. Because of this., characteristic they could tell when he was lying. Vet even when people knew he was in error they could be lieve in him. He seems to have been Ignorant of the word "diplomacy." 2. Prompt. He had the ability to decide end act quickly, as the occa sion demanded. This made him a real vleader. His action at the empty tomb 'was an example of his promptitude. John outran Peter, but Peter was the first to enter the tomb. When Corne lius sent for him at Joppa he respond ed without delay. 3. Courageous. While Peter played the coward sometimes, he was for the most part a brave man. No doubt it was through cowardice that he denied (he Lord, but It was his courage that brought him to follow the Lord into the palaca of the high priest. 4. Intense. He felt keenly and acted with vigor. Whether right or wrong, what he did he did with all his might. When he preached it was with passion. No finer example of burning eloquence can be found than his Pentecostal sermon. IV. Peter's C<}pfe6sion of Christ (Matt. 10:13-18. 21-23). The disciples had been with the Lord for several years. They had j heard His mighty words and seen His | mighty works. Various opinions were extant about Him. It was now neces sary for them to have a definite con ception of Him. The Master-Teacher knew the necessity of having the dis ciples get the right conception of Him self. 1. What it Was (v. 10). It Involved His Messiahship? "The Christ." and j deity? "Son of the living God." This j ts the burning question today. Those who have the right conception of Christ's person and mission have no trouble in the realms of science, philos ophy or ethics. k 2. Christ's Commendation (v. 17). He pronounced him blessed. Truly he was blessed, for he both possessed and confessed the Christ. The evidence that Peter was blessed was that he was in spiritual touch with the Father In Heaven. 3. Peter's Blessing (v. 18). unrist declared that he should be the founda tion stone In His church. Christ Is the chief cornerstone on which the church Is built. Christ's person and Messlah shlp was confessed by Peter, and on tills rock is laid the foundation of apostles and prophets (Eph. 2:20). All believers are living stones of this house (I Peter 2:5). V. Peter's Restoration (John 21 :1$ 17). Peter grievously sinned in denying the Lord, but he made a confession, shedding bitter tears of penlten?e over bis sin and folly. The Lord tenderly dealt with His erring disciple oiittTe stored him. In this restoration He brought to Peter's mind the essential qualification for his ministry. Love is the pre-eminent gift for Christ's serv ice. To impress this upon him, he three times asked the question. "Lovest thou me?" Three classes of people were to be served : (1 ) Those be ginning the Christian life ? "Feed my lambs." )(2) The mature Christians? "Shepherd my sheep." The shepherd needs to protect and feed tfce sheep. Love Is the one essential equipment for this service. (3) The aged Chris tians ? "Feed my sheep." Love is needed in dealing with the fathers and mothers in Israel. Injuries. Rather wink at small injuries than to be too forward to avenge them. He that to destroy a single bee should throw down the hive. Instead of on? enemy, would make a thousand. Trust in the Lord. ? Trust in the Lord and do good: so shalt thou dwell in the land, and ?erily thou shalt be fed. ? Ps. 37 :3. The Student. Don't despair of a student If he haa one clear idea. ? Emmons.

Nlcol, a mis sionary In Syria, was In this country, he was addressing a Sunday school on the subject of the country where he lived. He was endeavoring to make the sniall listeners of his American audience understand something of the strange land and the si range people of Syria. He said that the Syrians were queer people. Realizing that some of his smaller hearers might not under stand what he meant by "queer" peo ple, he asked: "Do you boys and girls understand what I mean by queer people? What sort of people are queer people?" Then he waited expectantly for an answer. After a little time a little girl six or seven years old timidly p"t up her hand. "You know, little girl?" asked I >'?<?* tor Xlcol. "You may toll us <vliat sort of people queer people are.' "Please, sir." began the tot, "queer folk ure folk who ain't like us."
