among his trees, instead of toasting his
shins at the fire indoors. Pruning to

Nearly all the disease of stock are

cheapest method of treating it is to

The statement will bear often repeatc
ing that warm stables save food, and

wherever aDiixials are kept. One'of
es the most important among the various
purposes which feed serves in the animal
economy is the maintenance of
animal beat, and it is economy to pren
serve it by outside means.

? Men often hesitate to do in some
surroundings what they do with
freedom elsewhere. But Jesus taught
and worked before the highest
JHe dignitaries as calmly as among the
pi,s of men.
By simplest acts of obedience by

truth, to follow truth, you are to prove
oo? that Christ's word is speaking to
you, speaking in you; you are to show
r- forth his risen life.
