A -- With the oxy-acetylene welding blowpipe in the hands of I competent operator on sorts of worn and broken parts can be repaired-more than "re. paired" in the ordinary sense of the word-actually made as good on new. Cracked castings can be welded, min- ing gear teeth repUeed, worn sections and surfaces built up. Malleable cast- ings can b- brazed, and the part will be as strong as originally. Steel parts can be made over; plowpoints built up with an alloy steel welding rod will give service like new ones. Bent Ihefb ing can be straightened easily by heat- init with the welding blowpipe. New parts and new nquipment can also be fabricated by welding. One stock farm bought a number of old hot water tanks (range boilers) from 1 junk dealer, cut them into halves with a cutting blowpipe, and after welding pieces of o'.d pipe to them for legs, used them for stock-feeding troughs. On another place a chute for bags of strain was made by welding old piecns of steel sheet, bought very cheaply from a scrap yard. A new block can be obtained only from the factory, and this will take weeks. Added to the cost of the new block ls the freight or express and, unless the work can be properly done on the farm the cost of installing the new block. In the meantime the plow- ing waits, unless a man and a team of horses can be put to lt. Welding will do away with nearly all of this delay, and much of the ex- pense. The cracked block is simply removed from the tractor and taken to the nearest welding shop. There it is carefully preheated, the crack welded and the casting slowly cooled --all of this work will not take n day. And the results are very much worth while. The scrap pile ls cheat- ed. The cost of a new cylinder block is saved. But best of all, the plowing can go right ahead. This incident is but a sketchy illus- tration of the possible value of weld- init on the farm. Hundreds of similar instances might be cited of savings that are now being made, or that could be made were the value of this recla- mation process known to all who could take advantage of it. I met my neighbor's fine, big son. I told him how proud we all were of him. "Oh, it's mother who deserves the praise," said Throck. "I couldn't have done what I have without her. I owe it all to her." And I went away thinking, "That is true. He does owe it all to his mother. And I believe she is right, 'Failure is only for those who think failure'." The duiryman should know: That timothy hay lacks protein, is not very palatable to the dairy cow, and has a constipating effect. That, when combined with alfalfa hay, a limited amount of good corn fodder is, pound for pound, worth as much as alfalfa hay. That a good rule to follow in feed- me corn silage is to give each cow three pounds of silage and one pound of dry roughage per day for each 100 pounds of live weight. That there is no advantage gained in removing the ears of corn from the plant before putting the crop Into the silo. That a heavy ration of potatoes gives milk of inferior "vor, and but- ter that is salvy; but that the pota- Lnes can be satisfactorily used in mod- (Tate quantities if fed when cooked. and in still smaller quantities when rim" {not profits depend upon providing an abundance of succulent, palatable feed in a well balanced mixture which is fed under comfortable quarters that admit of a reasonable amount of ex- ercise for the cowa. That cows will not thrive unless they receive a regular supply of salt, at least a daily allowance of an ounce for each cow. That. other things being equal, cows return the largest profits when their owner, through his kindness has gain- ed at least a portion of the affection that these cows would naturally give their offspring. Every rural community would proflt by an inventory of its production farm by farm, family by family. Further, the school children would proflt highly through the gathering of the material of such an inventory.

Many herds of hogs will be better fed this winter for they will receive something besides corn. Corn lacks in protein and mineral elements.

I INTrtooUcrioN--..Wittt the confession' of Peter at Caesarea Philippi, them begins a new perio.d of deep and inti- mate communion between Jesus and his disciples. He is at last able to reveal what his Meaaiahahip, which they have new discovered, means. This is nothing less than death at the hands of the nation. Such teaching startles and dismays the disciples, who had cherished very different thoughts of the Messiah’s fortunes, but within a week three of them have a very won- derful experience on the Mount of Tramtthrurtstion, which confirms to them the truth both of what Peter had confessed, and of what Jesus had sub-, sequentl revealed. This experience forms the subject of to-day’s lesson. Let us remember that the whole pre- ,ceding week had been one of great lreligious emotion, and indeed excite- Iment. Jesus had announced in solemn ';terms that he must f." to Jerusalem land die, Luke 9:22-2 . He had said 'that the path of the Messiah must be ithe path of the cross, and that his [faithful disciples also must now be iprepared to forsake everything, to re- ‘nounce self, and accept, if need be, a Icross of execution. Th e was new teach- ling, and at flrtrt the thought that Jesus must die left them utterly aghast. What then, they argued, was !to become of his expected crown and kingdom? From these thoughts the, disciples are delivered by a supreme experience granted, as we have " ready said, on the Mount of Trans-; fhruratlon. In a great moment of spiritual illumination, they see Jesus in his real glory. They see Moses and Elijah bearing testimony to him, and to the fact that he must die. Finally, they hear a voice from heaven naming Jesus as the divine Messiah, and call- ing upon themselves to listen to his words. I. THE mschss' VISION or THE (:va or JESUS, 28-33. I v. 28. A week after Peter's confes- gsion, Jesus takes his three most inti- {mate disciples with him to a quiet ro- [treat among the hills. Luke alone tells us that Jesus was praying when the Trtuuiltruration occurred. Doubt.. I less, before the prayer, Jesus had been lspeakingin wemn terms about his The Sunday School Lesson t?/iiittiitt. and about the necessity of his dent . Va. 29-81. It would appear from v. 32, that during the prayer of Jesutr-- as afterwards in the garden of Geth- tsemane--the three disciples had fallen into a deep slumber. hey were ex- hausted perhaps by their long vigil on the mountain side, and by t strain of sad foreboding inspired by Jesus' words. But the evangelist ex- plains that meantime, as Jesus prayed, his face grew brighter,---a heavenly radiance spread over him, and he was no longer alone. For there before him, in heavenly vision, were Moses and Elyah. They were speaking to him, an revealing that he must indeed go to Jerusalem and die, The 'rranafururation, Luke 9: 28-36. Golden Text-This l my beloved Son: hear him.--Uke 9: M. V. 82. Suddenly the disciples became wide awake. They perceive the radi- ance of Jesus' face, and they are at once aware that he is holding converse with the two heavenly spirits. Instan- taneously. the elements of a vision come together before their eyes. They see Moses and Elijah by Jesus' side.

Their names were Jack Brown, Betty Brown and Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Jack wu a boy of eleven and was very fond of fun. Betty was a quiet child two years Jack's junior and she believed in fairies. One day Mrs. Brown told Betty to go to the orchard after some apples. Betty was very fond of apple pie so she went gladly. When she got to the apple tree she said, "Oh, I wish the apples would come down to me no I wouldn't have to climb the tree!" A high, smnll voice (very much like Jack's) answered, "If that is all you wish, little girl, I will gladly help you, for I am tt fairy." - betty cried with joy, "Oh, may I come up and talk to 'oy, Fairy?" _ The high voice tried to be alarmed, but it was a very bad attempt.

To me, tt young y oui farmer, cost accounts have proved ab- tt'" solutely practicul and essential.-- .'.A.C. H. R. I Our cost accounts have given me I Ithoroug'h und detailed nnnlynh of the .buIineu of which I am a part. For 'this reason alone I consider them ex» :tremely valuable, because we farmers lure all human, and our interest.

On balancing the books for the iyour imagine my surprise to find the gneat profit registered by poultry, which, when divided by the totat 'houn' labor spent on poultry for the ‘yenr, showed a net return per hour of 81.10. Such resulu, I Insure you, are conducive to better care for tha poultry and more time spent in the (poultry yard this year. only a few moments' time daily nnd a few hours at the end of the year to buhnce up, when the net profit or loan was determined for etch entprprlu. A. managing partner on I 240-aere dairy farm I with to any that we flnd eost-aeeountintt on our farm an in- valunhie met. Accounts of ail nep- urlte enterprises on the mm were first kept last year in an ordinary journal, along with the necesury rs- cord of an hours of labor expended on these enterprises. This necessitated Br the - method of t1gurine I wu thie to determine from the ac- countl that etch hour of labor spent with the com hnd returned 55 cente. Numerous other tlgurets of practical interest Ind value cen be gleaned from these sumo accounts. You can imagine with what interest I look forward tn the balancing up of another year's business, and the comparison with previous years to note the improve- ment, if nny, and how to make further improvements. We nude $244.38 net labor income but year by buying pullots in thy fall and breeding them for eggs. The care- ful lccounts we kept eonvinee mo that under similar conditions we would do the sumo again. A purchase of additional land left us with an empty laying house that I wanted to use. So I read the classi- fied adds in the nearby papers. and started out with come coops. We bought tive dozen early Brown Leg. horn hens " " cents: 50 pullets (12 miles farther on) at $1 a head; an- other four dozen at 20 cents a pound; and later 80 Leghorns at $1.25 each. Our chief pmblem was not the price, but to get pallets old enough to begin laying soon. The average cost of these pulleta and hens wu 90 cents. We soon run. ed the Boek down to 150 head. The November egg yield was 15 per cent. This we thought good considering that . lot of the birds decided to do soms moulting, that their rations and homes were nbruptly chnnged. and that their house wu being remodeled. In December the yield still stood ground " per cent., but in January it begin to climb, and in Februnry ruched 42 per cent. April Watt the highest month with 66 per cent. After thnt the Bock avenge continued to drop off until late in August it wu only 20 per cent. Our own pullets were coming into maturity, so early in September we sold the entire purchlsed flock to make room for them. We ttot 12 and 14 cents I pound, selling on an uver In for " cents less a head than we had paid ton months, before. The ooo in through for this "Mon. Help it at My M mm.
