It is said that when Michaelangelo was carving his famous statue of Moses, his friends noticed that an im- pressive dignity came into the sculp- tor's features. It was the result of lofty thinking. For long weeks and months, Michaelangelo sought to understand the inner life of the great Hebrew patriarch, and then he fried to chisel in marble what he believed Moses must have looked like. lief in God, and our worship of Him must have ennobling influence over our lives, Dr. L.

If she foals in the spring much of her usefulness tions for the foal, the heavy brood mare should spend several weeks or the better part of the summer on pasture. By foaling in the fall the mare will maise her offspring at a time when ordinanily she would be idle or comparatively idle.
