HOG-PROOF GATE IS HANDY ARRANGEMENT Cattle and Horses Permitted to Pass at Will. Two Low Fences, About 18 Inches High, Serve to Keep Swine in Their Own Pasture - Other Animals Can Step Over. A funner uses thlB arrangement to keep the hogs In one lot, while allow ing his cattle and horses to puss un restrained into another pasture. The gate was removed from the hinges, and the space from post to post was boarded up solidly to a height of 18 inches from the around. About 18 Two .Low Fences Across the Gateway Will Stop the Hogs, but Allow Horses and Cattle to Pass. Inches from each gatepost, inside the lot wdiere the bogs were confined, a short post was driven. Irfmg boards nailed from one to the other of these posts made another panel of board lenee, 18 Inches high and parallel with the boarded-up gate, with ran 18-lnch space between the two low walls. When ;a hog comes to this detached panel, lt Will go to the end and pnss round Into the nnrrow pnssage be tween the two board walls, continuing on through and out at the ?other end till lt tires of the performance. One that 1? Short enough to turn In the 18 lnch passage ls too small to Jump or climb over the boards before lt, and one that cannot torn ls unnble to face the wall and make the attempt to climb. All otlier stock, except smnN calves or colts, will step over the low .walls. No wide cracks, offering footholds, should be left between the boards. H. F.

Tn phoo^ing * faViij ?n'?? has thc op; Mons of buying >ci"\ vhe Intention ?i operating th< pince as his entire busi ness, buying a small farm and renting enough additional land to meet his needs, or renting a farm either on the share or cash basis. One's choice in the matter ls usually determined by the funds available. If one has only a small amount of capital and wishes to undertake farm ing ns a business from which to de rive his entire Income, he should, In nearly all cases, begin ns a renter. However, If he wishes to buy a farm on which to live, deriving n part of his income from other sources, then, pos sibly, purchasing ls desirable, even If capital ls limited. Whatever course ls followed, it ls highly desirable that one thoroughly understand the basic principles gov erning the farm business before de ciding some of the finer points. A dis regard of these basic principles ls re sponsible for a large proportion of farm failures. A man may unconsciously work all his life against some economic barrier when success would have been com paratively easy If he had selected a farm where the economic principle would aid him Instead of working against him. \ AGRICULTURE A NATIONAL , PROBLEM / A sober national thought with * regard to the Importance, the * absolute necessity, of a BUS * talned agriculture In this conn i try ls imperative.

PAGE li Teacher of Bible Doctrine, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. j TEX1. - They that were scattered abroad went everywhere preachlns the word.-Act H 8:4. Propagandists for the Chi.. faith are greatly needed nowi A distin guished und trust worthy writer on "The Effects of Gie War on World Religions" pre sents evidence to prove that Shinto I s in, Buddhism," M ohnmmedanlsm, Hinduism, a n d C o u f u c i a nlsm stlmulutcd by the wtir have already inaugurated world wide cnmpnlgnsv especially for Europe and America. These are to be largely promoted by preaching and by the printed page. There ls also a propaganda of law lessness preached on the street cor ners of our cities, and pushed by the distribution of printed matter, with tho caption "Head and pnsa lt on." The advocates of false religious doctrines and false social theories are going ev erywhere proclaiming their teachings. Our Lord planned that the Word of ! Life should be proclaimed everywhere I by earnest propagandists. This ls tm j piled In His pnrtlug words: "Go ye i Into all the world and preach the gos pel to every eren tu re." The power to do this was promised and the prom ise was fulfilled on the Day of Pente cost. The power of the Holy Spirit has beeu and Is available for all who determine to be witnesses unto Ulm. The early Christians accepted this i work and became propagandists of the most urgent type. Tlhey "went every where preaching the Word." The message of Christ has not changed, nor has the meaning of His, command. Christians are called to be propagandists. He is still saying, "Go." Tho Christians of the New Testament time went everywhere preacblRg the Word. There uro many ways lu which we can follow their example: 1. By llviug lives thut Illustrate the redeeming power of God's grace. Next to the direct power of God ia the pow er of a holy life. Tt preaches and witnesses everywhc >!. By an unfaltering testimony, un ashamed and without apology. To maintain thlfy one must baye tho si ' convictions that issue from i ...?.ul Christian oXi>erJeiice und fr? n fellowship with God in His Word. The man on the fence leads us no where, but the man of strong convic tions ls always recognized as the com mander of the day. The men and wom en who are doing the most for the salvation of the world are those who are unashamed of the gospel and un afraid to say where they stand. 8. Personal soul winning. , In this matter the one who takes the offensive wins the day. Henry Clay Trumbull said that when he had the opportunity of shaping the conversation he always directed lt toward ?hrlst and his sal vation. By this method of personal soul winning he gained more lives for Christ than In all his public preach ing and teaching. 4. Christian efforts and enterprise. This calls for the expenditure of time and effort and money, but the true Christian propagandist does not hesi tate to spend both himself and all that he has in the work of making Christ known. The work of the Christian, propa gandist calls for courage and devo tion of the highest order. It involves much more than church membership and regular attendance at church services. It demands an abandonment of ont's self to the orders of the Com mander with perfect trust in him con cerning the consequences. "Beware" said an old Christinn war rior, "lest you lose your enthusiasm." This quality Is absolutely essential In the work of the Christian propagan dist. When our government called for men to serve In the hour of our coun try's need, the men responded. When the Red Cross asked for millions to take caro of the sick and wounded, they were given more even than they asked for. When the cry for help came from the desolated countries across tho sea, the response was Ubernl and gen erous. What shall bo our response to the call of Christ? The early Chris tians- went everywhere preaching the Word. You too can do tho same either In your own person or by the hearty support of the task through money and prayer. A mere lad In the army overseas was rather hard to mnnnge because of lils failure to respond readily ty> discipline, but when thu call for actual service came he developed Into a man. On one of the closing days of tho war he bad to go out twice in the face of the enemy's fire but both times came back and saluted with these words: "Captain, your message was delivered." We are entrusted with the great mes sage. It requires courage and sacri fice to deliver lt. At the end of our day lt will be a glorious achievement if we, looking Into the face of our Lord, c.-.n say to Him, QS the Captain of our Salvation, "Your messnge was delivered."
