Peake says, "The authorities had probably forbidden him to speak there again." m | _ Leeson Forewordâ€"Jeremiah had twice ‘been hindered from delivering his prophecies. Once he was arrested T | in the temple and barely escaped with his life (see ch. 26). Some time later he was arrested again by Pashur, the priest, because he uttered an unâ€" pleasant prophecy in the court of the temple (see 19: 14 to 20: 3).

The Sunday School Lesson At five to six weeks of age cracked corn and whole oats can be fed and a little later whole corn s=d oats make a good ration to keep the pigs growâ€" ing. As early as pos .ble, the sow and litter should have pasture. Good green clovers or other legumes should be available throughout the lummer.‘ Profits in hog feeding depend not a little upon the manner in which the young pigs are started on their career. When from two to three weeks 'old, the little fellows should have a ‘yard where they may be fed. This yard should be so arranged to keep the older hogs from interfering with the youngsters. A little grain can be fed at this age. Skimâ€"milk is also very good and may be used with flour middlings. _ Later. ground oats and standard middlings can be mixed with the skimâ€"milk. Corn meal is also a valuable substitute. Plenty of shade should be provided the calves during the summer. Give them all the clean cool water they will drink during the hot weather. My experience has been that calves do much better where they have access to drinking water at such times when they need a drink than they do when watered from a pail twice daily. Calves should not be put on pasâ€" ture until the weather is settled. Adequate protection against â€" cold storms and sudden changes of weaâ€" ther should be provided. Calves that have been housed in warm barns are sensitive to the chilling winds. It has been my experience that calves do not do well if compelled to sleep at night on cold damp ground. ‘ Calves dropped in the fall and early winter should be allowed to run on pasture during the summer. Pasture, however, should not be depended upon altogether, as it contains too large an emount of water in proportion to the food nutrients to insure the calves a satisfactory ration.

As an aid to the farmers in his problems of farm marketing and as an instrument of lessening rural isolation, its possibiliâ€" ties are particularly promising, and undoubtedly the next few years will find farmers everywhere profiting by the material they are receiving vi.' their wireless sete. _ The same practice can be used in the marketing of perishable fruits and vegetables, grain and live stock. With a capable directive agency, an extenâ€" give radio system and growers who are willing to follow directions, produce can be put on the market so that heavy receipts at one terminal and dearth of J receipts at others will be a thing of the past and more uniform prices willJ be inevitable. § Frequent Weather Reports. ;I For years it has been possible to _ obtain market news promptly through j the use of the telegraph but such mesâ€" | sages were much less frequent than the radio offers and their cost was | prohibitive to the individual farmer. | With the radio in general use, it will, , no longer be possible for a buyer to slip out into the country after the market has gone up and buy live stock _ or grain on the basis of old quotations. Weather reports are now being broadcasted to farmers in many secâ€" tions. The immediate receipts of such material is of immense value in the production and harvesting of crops when an hour‘s delay in the cutting of hay or the harvesting of grain may ‘ mean the loss of many dollars.

Without the radio service, the news of the unexpected lower prices would not have reached the farmer until after his load had been shipped.
