There is scarcely a farmer in this country who uses any fertilizer for his 0rchard,s.i.npy because he has always been taught that the old orchard would take cam of itself. And what a misâ€" take! It needs the same care and attention as the land devoted to other crops. W'hy not renovate the old or- chard? Cut down the worthless trees. Plow the whole area, sow to white clov- er and timothy. put on about 200 Pounds of muriate of potash and 200 pounds of dissolved bone per acre. Keep the orchard trimmed and each year apply chemical fertilizers in about this proportion per acre: Nitrate of soda, 100 pounds; ground bone, 200 pounds; mur'ia'te of potash, 300 pounds. By alittie systematic work and study every farmer could materially increase his profit with a little extra work, and perhaps a little outlay of money. If the old omhard is hard and unproduo- tive, first put it in fit condition for the grgwing of craps and the trees. oats will serve an excellent purpose. In truth, oats should be fed before the diet of skim milk is withdrawn. It :8 far from impossible to ruin a heifer so far as milk production goes by f39d' 1913' too much rich food, and it is POSâ€" sible to hurt her seriously by withhold- mg 8» sufficiency of food. 0f the two evils too much food is worse than too little, but it is less liable to occur, for where one is injured by too much food probably ahun-dred are injml‘ed by too little, and it is a safe guess to make that at least half of the heifer calves are fed too much like steers for them ever to make the best kind of oows. Choose corn and Timothy bay for the steers, and oats and clover hay for the heifers. In feeding hay, early out bay.' for heifers anal later cut for steers 18 in the right line. THE MOTHER OF THE COW. The heifer is the mother of the dairy cow. and the heifer will be what her antecedents and your care make her. It is too late to look after the anteced- ents of the calves already born. but not too late to keep them in a growing condition. and growing into what they ought to be. If designed for beef says a writer, feed freely with corn; if de- Signed for the dairy, oats are a most excellent food. They will not be so fat as they would if fed on corn, but fatness is not what is desired in a dairy animal. On the contrary, it is something- to steer clear of. If you teach. the heifer to fatten she will not depart from the habit when she is a COW- If You want her to excel at the will give her food that is rich in mus- ole-making" elements rather than a fat- tening food.

Spiced Beef.â€"Place one anzl one-half pounds of beef on the fire in a kett!e. with just enough water to cover, and boil slowly until it is so tender that it may be readily torn to pieces.

An ingenious Frenchman has patent- ed an article which he terms " a hot and cold penholder." The holder consists of a cylinder pierced with three small op- enings at its upper part. and inclosing for winter use a combustible carbon cylinder. or for summer a wad of sponge or cotton impregnated with a solution of 83.1 ammoniec. To "start up the works " in winter time the car- bon cylinder is lighted and placed in the holder; the other cylinder with the nib is slid on) the latter. and the pa- per tube is then fixed over both. In summer. the chemically saturated wed produces sufficient cold to keep the hand cool by using the pen. \Ve’ve had a very large congrega- tion, this morning, Mr. Brown. remark- ed the preacher. Yes, sir, replied the guileless and out- spoken brother, a. very fine Congrega- tium. You see, sir. we wasn’t expm ting you this morning. The feelings of the rim-tor must have been akin to those of another minister who was preaching in Rochdale. [he morning was fine, and the congrega- tion large. At. the foot of the pukit stairs one of the officials. met him. The doctor smiled and eXpressed his gratification, and the man left the vestry. No sooner was the door closed, however, than one of the deaconslook- ed up and remarked: Some pPOple have a. facultm for tak- ing off the edge of a, neighbor’s plea- sure. A writer gives a. case in point it happened to a doctor of dixinity WI 0 was preaching some special sermons He had scarcely got into the vestry after one of them, when: in rushed a well- dressed man who greeted him most effusively.

Delighted to see you. doctor. he said, You have given us a grand sermon It. has been a treatâ€"a tea! inspiration to us all. But now comes the strange part. of' the story. Atout two weeks ago ai herd of about 2,000 sheep was found; on the plain in San Miguel county in‘ New Mexico. with no one in charge of, them, and to all ammarannes belonging; to nobody. The parties in Arizona. heard i of this'faet and wrote to an officer‘ in the Territory. giving their marks: and explaining how the sheep could he! identified. It was found beyond doubt that this was the herd that had dis- appeared from the range in Arizona! about. the lst of August. The ani-i mals had been shifting for themselves for more than three months. and turn- 1 ed up at a point. fullv 500 miles from~ the place where the border was killed. They had crossed the Rio Grande on the way. wolves. The sheep had never been heard of and no trace of them could be found anywhere in that [fart of the country. Av further search revealed the bones of a human being scattered about over the ground, some of them more thana hundred yards from the tree. having evidently been carried about by wolves. A prospector who had passed that way had camped for a night with the man about the 1st of A‘ugust and said the herd was then moving northward. This tree around which these articles were found was just about far enough north to have been the next camping place, and when it was remembered that there was a severe storm of thunder and lightning in that section one night about the time referred to. it was clear that the man bad man: his ramp under this tree and had been killed by lightning and his bo'ly_ devoured by A Flock of 2.000 Wamlerea 500 Miles After Ile Wan Klllml by Lightning. 'A herder .n charge of a flock of 2,000 sheep. which were grazing near the base of the San Francisco Mountains. in Arizona, was killed by lightning during a terrific storm which visited that section about the lst of August. As the herder was not expected to come in with his sheep until the let of 00- tober, his absence during August and September attracted no attention. \Vhen the middle of October came and he did not show up.. messengers were sent out to find him. Afier a search of some days in the vicinity of where he was last seen. the remains of a camp were found under a tree which had been riven by the lightning. The cooking utensils were scattered about, and the remains of a blanket were found, which were iden- tified as parts of one which the man had taken with him. The water keg also was recognized by a mark which had been burned into one of the staves. Progressive housekeeping means a willingness to accept new ideas. awill- ingness to do old things in new ways. It is not confined to the kitchen or pantry. Further investigation shows many new fields in which the house- keeper may save time. labor. money. and nerves if she be only willing to try something new. “ Mothers way " was very goodâ€"for mother. There are better ways now. unpleasant as well as to the pleasant features of it; then stick to it. work for it and sacrifice for it. Remember that the crowning of your life-work is not in youth. The years this side of thirty must be spent in preparing for the opportunity which comes to all. It may be at thirty, or it may he at fifty. Be ready for it; grasp it with a master hand; and success, in large letters, will be added to your name. HOT AND (‘OLD PENHOLDER SHEEP OF A DEAD SHEPHERD. NOT ELATTERING. BE PROGRESSIVE. it was here. then. according to the Bielical account. that. the deeeentlants of Noah journeyed, and began the building- of a, «My. the crowning glory of which was to be the Tower of Babel. According to Biblical students. the tower was undoubtediy a temple. But it never reached thic. point. Long be- fore its completion the Lord intt‘rten- ed. and by confusing the tongue; of the people compelled the abandonment of their colossal undertaking. REBUIL'I‘ ON 0!.“ lVUl'NUA'l'ION. In: considering tlw etitlent-e hearing upon the existence of the tower. it must not be forgotten that the Baby- lonians, like tlw tillt'ifinl Egyptians. re- imilt their temp!“ on the original foundations. Thus on the spot where the tower was begun, great, temples were suteequently erected. the lust of whirl: was that, at” the famous NGhUCh- adnezzar, and which was doubtteee not a. great tower constructed to escape the terrors of another flood. but a. magnificent; temple rising up in the midst of the new city of the plain. alike for worship and to commemorate the glory and pride of man. The preheat ruins. known as Eire Nimrod. consist of a huge irregular mound crowned by the remains of a tower. which rises 150 feet from the plain below. In the excavations of the interior of this mound many in- scribed bricks have been unearthed. and most of them leer Nebnchednez- zar’s name in cuneiform characters. On one of these bricks is an inscription that the towar- wns never couple and that it‘hnd Mounds-ed line. a very remote period. ' This is e, perfeot pen picture of the Babylon of toâ€"dziy. THE TOWER. MOI' ND. All is gone. and in the entire world there is toâ€"day no place so drear and uninviting as the scene that breaks upon the vision of the traveller as he first looks out over that Bab Ionian plain. But not for long does t e feel- ing of desolation hang over him. for in the distance rises a mound that in- stantly attracts his attention. send- ing his thoughts back to the dawn of human history. It is the mound that tradition points to as marking the spot where stood the tower so famous in history. “And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms. the beauty of the Chuldees' GACEHCHC)’, shall be as when God oxerthrew Sodom and Gomorrah It shall never te in- habited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation; nei- ther shell the Arabian: piuh tent there; nor shall the shepherds make their fold there. But the voild beasts of the desert shall lie there. and their houses shall be full of dolelul crew- tures, and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. And the wild beasts of the islands shell or) in their desolate houses. and dragons in their pleasant plmes, and her time is near to come and her days shall not. be prolonged." But Babylon Was not destined to last in all the glory of its imperial grandeur. and in the thirteenul chap- ter of Isaiah the destruction of the great city is vividly pictured by no prqphet in the {0110M ing words:â€" “And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men builded. And the Lord said :â€" Behold. the people is one. and they have all one language, and this they begin. 90 do. and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down anl there confound their lan- SWISS. that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence up- on the face of the earth, and they left off to build the'city. 'l‘hereiore is the name of it calied Babel, because the Lord did there confound the lan- uage of all the earth. and from thence id the Lord scatter them abroad up- on the lace of all the earth. ’l'hese are the generations of Shemzâ€"b‘hcm was a hundred years old, and hegat Arpâ€" haxad, two years after the flood." BABYLONIAN PLAINS THE SITE. All scholars agree. however. that if such a building was ever undertaken. and in part erected. that it was on the Babylonian plains in the neighbor- hood of, or within the ancient limits of. Babylon. From the dawn of cixiliza- tion Babylon was regarded as a :acred locality. the name itself signifying the “Gate of God." On' the other hand, it is claimed that the story isasimple statement of fact; and that there really took place in the early history of the human race the building of such a structure. the circumstances of which are carefully recorded in the Bible as follows:â€" THE BIBLE STORY. “And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech. And it came to pass as they journeyed from the East. that they foundaplain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. And they said. one to the otherzâ€"Go to. let us make brick and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone and slime they had for mortar.

A pivotal point in the current dis- cussion by the critics of the Bible ro- garding the authenticity of the lxix- torical statements of the Old Testa- ment is that relating to the Tower of Babel.
