the hoofs do not wear down naturally and should be trimmed at regular intervals once a year and oftcnor if required we call a local blacksmith and trim the hoofs of all the bulls we throw the animal by means of the usual rope hitch cows can bo treated with a litte more consideration there are now men who make a specialty of hoof trim ming but any blacksmith of common sense is able to do a good job a par ing knife and hoof clippers are about that goes into the teat orjairthe tools needed in fact for the vill result and cause the loss cows we often do the work ourselves w a f buying feeding cattle the type of feeding cattle purchased and the price paid for them on the market is important in successful cat tle feeding some feeders purchase cattle of good type and quality because they plan to finish quality cattle they find that the better grade of catte require less grain and roughage to produce a hundred pounds of gain other feeders purchase a lower grade can tolerate very much larger quanti ties of salt than has generally been supposed it has been found for ex ample that eight or nineweekold chickens could be placed on a ration containing as high as 8 per cent of common salt without serious results salt poisoning so many instances have been report ed in which chickens have been killed by eating feed containing a consider able quantity of salt that it is a gen era belief among poultrymen that chickens are very readily poisoned by common table salt recent experiments seem to indicate that under certain conditions chickens of feeding cattle and contend that the inferior grade of cattle make more money in the feedlot than the better cattle the poorer cattle do not make as good use of the fesd consumed as the better cattle so the only condition under which they can be more profit- in fact as soon as the chickens be came accustomed to the disagreeably able is when there is a wide spread salty jation they consumed it in suffi- between the price paid for feeders and c quantities so that they grew just the price received as fat cattle about as well up to five months of age desirable feeding cattle should have as did chickens getting only 1 per cent a good head they should possess 0 salt in their feed width between the eyes and not be too this does not mean of course that long in the face they should possess sa in large quantities is not poison- a wide muzzle large nostrils and j 0 to chickens for if salt is injected strong full jaw the back should be directly into the crop it appears that straight from the neck to the rump half an ounce is sufficient to kill a the animal should have a wide back i chicken weighing three or four and a deep chest the body should be pounds deep fairly low set as an animal that is high off the ground usually possess es a long narrow rangy body and will not produce a desirable carcass uniformity in a load of cattle is very important when marketing the cattle therefore a feeder should try the danger to the chicken so far as salt is concerned is apparently great est under conditions which make it possible for the chicken to get a con siderabe quantity into its crop at one time either dry or in solution any reasonable quantity well mixed in ths to obtain animals of similar type if f j no at nil likely to cause a good grade of cattle are purchased trouble they should be as near the same grade as possible if a poor grade of cattle are secured it is better to have them all pcor a few good cattle especially if purchased at a higher price will not materially improve the whole load when shipped to market

zu whispered little hannah in his car zu zu purred so long nnd so loud that little hannah felt sure he was trying to tell her what he thought about it n account of the closing scenes of the life of joshua he is as throughout the whole per iod of his leadership still earnestly solicitous for the present and the fu ture welfare of his people joshua is wise enough to see that there lie before the israelites greater dangers than those which they have encountered from canaanite armies or sons ofanak there is the elabor ate and highly sensuous worship of the canaanite gods against which he now warns the people of israel be ye therefore very courageous he says to keep and to do ail that is written in the book of the law of moses that ye turn not aside there from to the right hand or to the left it is by strict observance of the laws and usages of their own religious faith that they will best guard them selves and their children against the perils of this heathen civilization and culture with which they are now so cosely in contact i the teoples choice 1418 now therefore fear the lord in old testament religion fear is rever ence and is inculcated as the begin ning or foundation of right living the fear of the lord is clean endur ing for ever says the psalmist and the wise man declares that the fear of the lord is wisdom or is the be ginning of wisdom and- is identical with a good understanding and with departure from evil psalm 199 job 2828 prov 17 eccles 1213 here the exhortation to reverent fear is accompanied by the exhortation to sincere and loyal service and to put away all false gods such as their fathers served in patriarchal times and in egypt choose you this day if the ser vice of jehovah seem to them irksome or disagreeable let them choose de liberately and thoughtfully between him and the gods of the people of canaan here called the amsrites joshua declares that he and his house liave made their choice they will serve the lord jehovah the flood v 14 15 is the river euphrates from the other side of which their father abraham had come where joshua says they served other gods 2423 the answer of the people is at first negative rather than positive god forbid that we should forsake the lord to serve other gods therefore will be also serve the lord for he is our god so far the answer is satisfactory but it laclcs the positive note which joshua desires they will serve the lord only because it is unthinkable to them that they should serve any other than their own gcd joshua would have them make deliberate choice of two possible serv- ices god of israel or the gods of the canaanites ii tub covenant bond 1925 ye cannot serve the lord a mere acquiescence is not enough he re quires positive and wholehearted obed ience he is a holy god separate and apart from all others they his people must also be holy and separate themselves from every form of false worship that which belongs to je hovah isholy like himself and cannot be given even temporarily to another he is a jealous god he will share the love and allegiance of his people with no other they cannot profess to serve him and then forsake him that ho will not forgive the positive declaration of choice comes from the people in response to joshuas challenge nay but wewill serve the lord the choice is made they themselves are witnesses there must be no going back on that solemn declaration and pledge else they would be selfcondemned the moral is driven home put away the strange gods which are among you having made their choice and renewed tht covenant bond they must now act ccordingly the people reply the lord our god will we serve and his voice will we obey coniparo the story of the covenant made by moses in exodus chap 14 and the story of elijahs challenge to the peoplo of israe at carmel in 1 kings 181989 the conception of a covenant bond between israel and jehovah put the religion of israel upon a high plane both legally nnd morally the coven ant freely entered into and ratified by a solemn promise and oath involved an obligation of the highest order as jehovah was true to his covenant promise so must thy be true as he was faithful so must they lie faithful as he was bound to keep hi pledged word so were they bound to keep theirs a covenant people must be like its god is type of tourist rea n asset to ontario l iquor advocates claijtn that

started laying one is to get them to eat the proper allowance of mash and the other is to maintain body weight whilo they are laying so they will not go to pieces early in tho year due to their being in poor condition one way in which to encourage mash consumption is to have sufficient hopper space about six inches for every two birds two sixfoot hoppers allowing birds to feed from both sides will be just about enough for a pen of 100 layers but three such hoppers will surely be enough a wet mash fed once a day just what they will clean up in about fifteen minutes will also j help in the
