Accurate data regarding the value of gllage in & ration for fattening sheep and lambs. §8 scarce, but what there is indicates that it is useful. As far back | as the early niuetics the Michigan ex- periment station fed some lambs on sl- lage and other foodstuffs. 'Lhe gist of their findings is to the effect tbat a mixture of fodders composed largely of a good guality of silage proved a cheap and guccessful ration for fatten | ing lambs.

The Pastor claimed that the repul- siveness of the creeds hinders people from looking for the truth which they contain. This is well, be said. Why should we search for Truth in various creeds when we have the Bible? He urged Christians to abandon he, creeds and unite ds Bible students, intent on knowing God' Berg snd © aining the ol tbe Holy Bpirit in the understanding of it. Bo doing, true' Christipns would be so united that outward forms of federation. would be as useless and as absolutely ignor- ed as in our Lord's day. Je held up to scorn the incon- gistencies of His day. If here to-day, He would show us many inconsisten- cies in our estimation of ein and righteousness, the Zastor believed. Our Lord declared that while the religious leaders of His time were careful to tithe all their increase, they outraged the very spirit of God's law of right- eousness; that in mean wa) s they took the bread from the poor, arl to divert attention from their course they hypo- critically lengthened their prayers. It was not that praying was wrong, or that tithing was objectionable, but their recognition of these showed them" all the wore responsible in '"'devour- ing widows' houses," and other sharp Dimctiose, whereby they took advan-' age of the unfortunate. This prin- ciple still operates, said Pastor Rus- sell. The same sins lie at the door of many professing godliness. To-day, as in our Master's time, there isa way of keeping within the law and out of the penitentiary, while at the same time the spirit of the law. is outrazed and trampled in the dust of avaricious money-getting. Now, 83 then, monty-lovers pose 88 hilan- throptsts, and hold honorable p : churchianity. The Pastor spared this class. He declared that x hypooritea are the worst of God's sight.

Not one species of microbe has been found that Zam-Buk does not kill! Then again. As 80On a8 Zam-Buk is applied to a sore, or.a cut, or to' skin discage, it stops the smarting. That is why children are such friends of Zam-Buk. They care nothing for the science of the thing. All they know is that Zam-Buk stops thelr Mothers should never forget five Again. As soon as Zam-Buk is ap~ plied to a wound or to a diseased part, the cells beneath the gkin's sur> face are so stimulated that new healthy tissue is quickly formed. This forming of fresh healthy tissue from below i3 Zam-Buk's secret of healing. The tissue thus formed is worked up to the surface and literally casts oft the diseased tissue above it. This is why Zam-Buk cures are permanent.
