Otherwise we have only the story of a marvel, not the revelation of a great divine mys- tery. The truth which Jesus wished to jmpress for ever on the hearts of the' Galileans was that God would yet weet up his kingdom. The feast in the wilderness was clearly intended to point forward to the feast in tho Mes-| -#iah's kingdom. ; I. JESUS' COMPASSION ON THE MUT/ TUDE, 81-84. A V. 81. The words of Jesus to the | disciples, "Come ye, yourselves, apart into a desert place, and rest awhile," were spoken at the moment of their return from their mission to the cities of Israel. The disgiples came back flushed and excited as the result of their labors, and Jesus saw that they needed to have their minds composed. He, too, was weary, and--though the disciples did not yet know this--he knew that his davs in Galilee were! numbered. So he proposed to them this quiet retreat beyond the Lake. ire was rest, rest for his dis- ciples, and pest Zor himselt, We shall see presently that this hope was not to be fulfilled. Meantime it may be of interest to observe that in the judg- ment of some modern scholars the words of Jesus here given have been handed down to us in another form in the great passage, Matt, 11:28-830: "Come unto me, all ye who labour and are heavy*laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart," etc. : Vs 82, 83. The plan of Jesus was quietly carried out. But the unexpect. ed happened. A multitude of Gali- leans, who had followed Jesus from place to place, noticing his departure, and euspecting that perhaps they would seek Him no more, hurried on foot round the lakeshore to the oppo- site side--a journey of several miles --and reached the landing-stage be- fore Jesus and his disciples, who were cruising on the lake, 'arrived. It is a strange and aff roof of the power of Jesus over r spirits that on this occasion they could not let m go. V. 84. So Jesus, instead of rest, found labor. When he saw the multi- tude on the shore, instead of feeling Sisappointment as he might well have done, he "was moved with compassion towards them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd" The thought of leaving that great multi- tude, blind and ignorant and aimlese as so many of them were, without spiritual vision for thelr needs, went to heart of Ji and we again "he an to Lord has and contrasting. read that once teach them many things" Our return mail. was always pati ways ho always willin ig spend yy patel spent in his Father's servi IL THE GREAT SACRAM WILDERNESS, 35-44. apni the whole approach of tude still this stage IN TAB ioners, night overtopk the pedple in that soli- tary place. ; the dis- missing of the people to the nearest villages that they might _.

'When finely ground it has been proved by oxperiment to be a very valuable feed for growing and fatten- ing pigs and for fattening steers.

Besides these three grades, a fourth grade, called elevator screen- ings, is used, It includes any screen- ings not falling into the first three classifications, provided the required minimum 'percentage of wild buck- wheat and wild oats are put into this class. The pamphlet, which gives an account of the Experimental Farms experiments to ascertain the feeding value of the different grades of screenings, may be obtained from the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Roots As a Feed For Horses. Roots are a valuable feed for horses under many conditions. For instance, they are good for horses doing moader- ate farm work during the winter. Two or three turnips or a few carrots thrown into the manger when the horse comes in at night will be great- 1y" relished. Turnips or carrots ares) more acceptable to horses than man- gels, and they should be given whole. According to a new bulletin of the Dominion Department of Agriculture on Growing and Feeding Field Roots, the merits of roots as a feed for horses may be summed up ag follows: They increase palatability, increase the digestibility of coarse fodders, benefit the teeth and gums, form a splendid tonic, and cheapen the ra- tion, the front convertible col- Roots In Horse Rations, Idle horses during the winter sea- gon receive benefit from roots as a part of the ration. Feeding tests at some of the Experimental Farms indl- cate that a very good maintenance ra- tion consists of one pound ow mixed hay, one pound of clean cut straw, and one pound of turnips for every one hundred pounds of the horse's weight. This constitutes a day's ra- tion. Carrots are even better than turnips because they are more relish- ed by the horses. During a 160-day period from November 1st to March 81st, six work horses keut on this feed gained in weight an average of 28 pounds. During the first two weeks of the test the ration that had been used while the horses were working was dually reduced to the winter quantities, With the approach of spring the last two weeks were used to build up the ration to a nor mal working diet. Bulletin 94 of the Department of 'Agriculture at Ottawa, wing and Feeding Field Roots," deals very thoroughly with the sub- ject indicated in the title, The report | states that for brood mares there ls no: better adjunct to the ration than Iroots, the succulent tonic and laxative properties are then of pecullar value as is the ease of digestibility. Roots For Sheep. A moderate ratidn of roots, particu- larly swede turnips, are of great bene- will benefit accordingly. In a new bulletin of the Dominion Department of Agriculture on Growing and Feed- ing Field Roots it is painted out that since for sheep, roots are mainly use- ful as a source of succulence, a rela- tively small quantity is sufficient. Oc- casionally as much as 4 pounds per (head pér day may be profitably fed but 13 to 23% pounds of roots are sufficient when feeding, say, 1% to 2 pounds of hay. Mangels are not as safe 8 feed for sheep as turnips. Car- rots may be used but they are more difficult to grow than turnips. The Cost of Raising Dairy Calves. The cost of ralsing calves from birth to one year old or over varies, of course, with the quantity and quality of feed given and the prices paid for the feeds. Nevertheless the record, kept at the Dominion. Bxperi- mental Station w@t Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere, of the cost of raising young cattle should {be of interest.
