If, well fed during this lime they will nol only mature earlier but will develop into larger animals. A convenient arrangement is to havc a small enclosure of onc or two acres, preferably near Ihe farm buildings, for lhe little lambs. Thc field may be sown to a cultivated grass, such as bromc or western rye, and the aftermath1 from thc hay crop used for the pasture- In this case it will be necessaiy for the hay to be taken off comparatively early in thc season so that the aftermath will make good pasture. If, in addition, the lambs have access to a small lot of un- harvested ripe oats they will progress favorably. If it can be arranged, a plot of rape will be found most useful in furnishing a large amount j of succulent feed. Thc rape may) bc cither pastured off or may! be cut each day and fed to the; lambs. Bolh methods were tried out at the Scott Station last season. A plot of the Dwarf Essex rape in the dry season of 1917 gave in one cutting. 7 tons 1,840 pounds per acre of green feed. Swine For fall pigs, half-grown pigs> and brood sows, some fall-pasture is necessary for economical feeding. The rape will give an abundance of feed during ..the autumn months., In light soils brome grass will help.out later, and earlv sown fall rve will provide pasture late, in the, autumn. The threp kinds of crop might be in the one, small field. A little patch bf ripe oats and peas will give-the.young, pigs, a start off for the cold weather. For this a a. Mcculloch, vernon,bc.

Gregory The coal measures down in the earth may or may not be near the point of exhaustion, but it would certainly look as if the "phosphorus," which is thought to be the rough material out of which thought is born, cannot be made to last much longer. At any rate, the aforesaid phosphorus is being consumed with an alarming rapidity. Go into almost any one of the libraries, public or private, and what an array of strange titles you will behold on the backs of the books! What strange, new subjects men and women are reading and thinking and talking about ���������������������������Theosophy, Socialism, Anarchism, Christian Science, Spiritualism, Mental Science, Science of Being, the Single Tax, Materialism, and every othcr sort of ism conceivable! There it is all spread out before you, inviting you to take your choice���������������������������every ism and ol- ogy that was ever thought of or dreamed of in the seething brain-pan of the "biped without feathers!" In these days there is no excuse for a person being without a theory, cult or a creed. They exist by the thousands and they are as free as the grace of God. Not only so, but the devotees of these innumerable propagandas arc full of the zeal which makes them more than anxious to help the novice into the possession of the blessings they advocate. Thinking of all this, wc are forcibly reminded of thc ancient proverb, "In the multitude of counsel there is safety." If the proverb is true then we are safe, or will bc pretty soon. Of course the mischievous thought will.forcc itself in, "To what do- all these theories amount, anyway? Are they not "one and all mere will-o'-the- wisps shining but to deceive and to bewilder?" Such thought is not altogether Avithout its justification. Truth? Shc is still where she has always been���������������������������a I the bottom of the well- Panaceas?

Just as it is better to have "loyccl ancl lost than never to have loveel at ail," so it is better to think, even though you shouhl think, yourself up against a problem which, for the time being, you arc unable to solve, than It wou|c| he for vou to sit down, ahel not attempt to think at all. - t It.is something to have discovered that there is q problem; and when, in addition to this, we come to see that the problem is a hard one, all the more earnestly will wc buckle ourselves down to the task of mastering it. And so wc can sav nothing hut "Welcome r_ Jo Jhe _multi-. fudc .'of propagandas���������������������������even if for the present time they prove to be the propagandas of confusion. Before the planets became a "svstem," they were a mass of wild-whirling star-dust, which was more like chaos than cosmos; and before wc reach truth wc must expect to be played with and tantalized by a multitude of dreams and phantoms, which, though ghostly and unreal in themselves, may have in themselves the seeds of eternal vtruth. -���������������������������**,& Men Who Do Things The joy of creation more than returns all the pains of labor; and, as the conscious labor against external obstacles is the first joy of awakening life, so the completed- work is the most intense of pleasures, bringing to full birth in us the sense of personality, and consecrating our triumph, if only partial and monetary, over nature. Such is the true character of effort or will in action. A man is a miracle of genius because he has been a miracle of labor. Strength can conquer circum-* stances. The principle of action is too strong for any circumstances to resist. It clears the way, and elevates itself above every object, above fortune and misfortune, good and evil. The joys that come to us in 4this world are but to strengthen us for some greater labor that is to succeed. Man's wisdom appears in his actions; for every man is the son of his own work.���������������������������F. R.
