In earliest times the altar was simply a large natural rock, Judges 6:20, 21 and 1 Sam. 6:14; later it was artificially built of stones but the law directed that the stones should be unhewn, Deut. 27: 5, 6. An iron instrument used in hewing the stones would deâ€" stroy the sanctity of the altar. The altar, thus built, formed a sort of raisod platform which separated the sacrifice laid on it from common things. In the name of the Lord.

A tobacco sack, filled with powdered charcoal, was then brought into use and pounding with this over the penciiecd letters sifted enough through the perforations to transfer them, in dotted lines, upon the board beneath. With the paper spread upon the clean bench, {e then drew his carpenâ€" ter pencil heavily over the lines to spell out the words, CLOVERâ€"HILL FARM. This, of course, produced a somewhat square style of lettering, but with these for a guide he quickly trimmed of the corners and the reâ€" rult was neat and readable. "I did that by laying the yardâ€"stick on the paper and spacing the l‘nes just as far apart as the width of the stick," he explained. "Didn‘t take me but a few iminutes that way." In the workshop, my farmer friend drew from beneath the bench a strip of wrapping paper eight feot long and twelve inches wide This had previously been ruled off in oneâ€"inch squares over its entire surface. Well, sir, it‘s sintple enough when you know how," the old gentleman remarked, with a knowing wink "I can‘t explain it very clearly by just telling you what I did, but I‘m paintâ€" Ing a sign for my brother‘s farm toâ€" day and, as the board is ready to work upon, I‘ll let you observe an artist in action." f With a fecling of illâ€"concealed curiâ€" osity I dropped in to learn how it was done, for I had seen enough sign work to know that, aside from the difficulty that would confront an amateur in the lettering, a job like this should require more than fortyâ€"eight hours for its completion. It cccurred to me that the "trying" would prove a somewhat discouragâ€" ing experience for a man who had never wiclded a paint brush except to smear a few farm implements or a section of board fence; but I didn‘t feel that I had any call so to expregs mysolf, and my surprise may well be imagined when I passed the {arm again next day and saw a handsome, plainâ€"lettered sign (black letters on a white background) conspicuously disâ€" played over the entrance. One day last summer I stopred at the home of a neighbor and found bim preparing to paint a sign. "Taking up a new trade?" I asked. "Well, not exactly," he replied as he brushed the shavings from a nice white pine board, "but it is getting so nowadays that a man is considered a backâ€"number if he doesn‘t christen his farm and display the name where passersâ€"by may read. Accordingly, having named my farm and having a few hours o% duty, I‘m going to try my hand at the art of sign painting." There is little to add.

The infected hens should be kept separate and disposed of as The blood samples are tested as soon as they are received at the Inbâ€" oratory and are incubated for two days at a temporature of 37 der. ‘_ We may well paraphrase the saying of the Jewish merchant, "Vat is life mitout some dea‘!s?" and say, "What is life without some ideals?" It sureâ€" ly must be a humdrum existence to live a life without hopes and ambiâ€" | tions. Ideals are to life what oxygen is to the flame; they make life‘s fires burn brighter. One of the most serious chicken disâ€" eases that poultrymen have to conâ€" tend with is bacillary white diarrhea. Out of 500 chickens placed in a broodâ€" er, the white diarrhea will often leave only 100 at the end of three weeks, There is no cure for chickens infecteA with it, but it may be prevented by eliminating all hens in the breeding flocks that are infected with it, and by breeding only from hens that are shown by the blood agglutination test to be free from white diarrhea infecâ€" tion in their ovaries. The idealists who do not work are usually not found on the farm, for work is too much a part of farming for them. _ But sometimes we find workers whose ideals have gone to sleep. _N6t only in farming is this so, but in many other activities of life. It is so casy to give up our hopes and mmbitions and just plod along through life. Work and ideals are two opposites. Work belongs entirely to the physical realm which ideals have to do almost entirely with the mind and the spirit. The typical idealists dream their way through life often without thought of physical comfort. On the other hand, the typical work, of the manâ€"withâ€"theâ€"hoe type, plods along without hopes or ambitions. Normally, we as human beings, are physically, mentally and spiritually constituted. So, both work and ideals are necessary to the greatost fulfill ment of life. The idealist who refuses to work and the worker who refuses to idealize, are abnormal and are not accomplishers of great things.
