r-r h* \ 1 " * m m Thursday, February 12, 1931' A good scratch ration for the poultry flock is 2 parts, by weight, of yellow corn, 2 of wheat, and 1 of good, sound oats. This ration is satisfactory for most of the year except in the warm summer months when it may be changed for equal parts of the three grains. Do not feed oats of poor quality— they contain too much fiber. Give the scratch ration morning and evening in about 3 inches of litter on the floor. Barley, or a locally grown grain such as kafir or sorg hum, is used in some localities in stead of com. Make the morning feed a light oiie so the birds will scratch most of the morning, and the evening feed large enough so the birds go to roost with full r-rops. McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA State forestry has shown great gains recently, according to the Forest Service. Kentucky, New York, Virginia, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Massachusetts have amended tax laws, improved fire protection, or extended the teaching of prac tical forestry in the public schools. The Federal Government expended $1,400,000 last year in co-operating with the States for fire protection for State and private forest lands. Some 25,000,000 young trees for planting were furnished to farm ers from Sftate nurseries co-operat ing with the Forest Service. A number of young men are following in Edison’s footsteps in the matter of sleep, but not when it comes to work. 3E $ Don’t Let Your Cold or Cough Linger Colds are annoying and dangerous to your health.

They all need it In large quan tities and unless it Is available, they wither and die. The building profes sion has taken cognizance of this Im portant principle in the construction of modem homes, factories, office buildings and farm structures. In each of these, light and ventilation is tremendously important—la the home it acts as a stimulant, disinfect ant. and bodjr builder; In the office It prevents the workers from becom ing sluggish, keeps them wide awake and healthy; In the factory it increases the efficiency of the help and last but not least in. the farm buildings it helps to Increase food production. The cows need it to keep up a healthy milk flow. But in this connection we should not overlook that neglected animal of the farm, the hog. Unheralded and un sung, this lowly animal contributes the bulk of the food of the nation. For merly hogs on the farm were allowed to roam at will and were given very connected with the raising of hogs. The feed carrier can carry the feed from the feed room to the various pens. There will be no need for the old style wheelbarrow. Instead of re belling against this task, the farmer’s son or hired help will not complain. “A stitch In time saves nine,” says the old adage and it certainly Is true of the construction and equipment of farm buildings. The right building and the right equipment will save the boy for the farm later on. There will be no lure to the city if farm life is made comfortable and up-to-date. What more efficient way than build ing labor-saving buildings? In the construction of this hog house another important condition was taken into consideration. Ninety-five per cent of the fires on farms are caused by lightning. It has been proved by government investigation that efficient lightning protection will prevent 90 per cent of these fires. This protection has been provided for this hog house in the form of lightning rods. ▲ little expense at the start will save not only money but prevent trouble later on.. The part that modern buildings and equipment will play in increasing the food production of the country in years to come will be very important. Hog houses built on the sunshine plan will do their share. INDIAN LEGEND OF CREATION Nez Perea. Hold Belief That All Man- kind Is Descended Directly From That Tribe.

Their food w’as a matter of lit tle importance. But with the devel opment of modern farming methods and the increasing emphasis upon the need for better farm buildings the hog came In for a share of the atten tion. Today the hog house is one of the important buildings in the farm group. In the construction of this building, sunshine is by far the most important factor. Sunshine to the hog Is better than any manufactured tonic that was ever devised. He thrives on It, gains in weight, and brings home the “ba con.” To get all the sunshine pos sible into the hog house special win dows are installed. They are ar ranged in such a way as to permit the sun at any time of the day to pene trate to every corner of the build ing. As an excellent example of how far this construction is carried into prac tice, consider the hog house shown here. Practically the entire front of this structure Is a wall of glass. It Is saw tooth in shape and the front wall of the saw tooth addition is made up of double hung windows. Below* In the main part of the hog house are smaller single windows and opening on a level with the ground Is a series of doors. Through these windows and doors the house is assured of a con stant and liberal supply of fresh air and an abundance of real sunshine. In construction this hog house is frame set on a concrete foundation. It Is 72 feet long and 24 feet wide and has eighteen hog pens. A feed room at the end Is large enough to take care of the entire drove.

Aftex much maneuvering the coyote finally secured a grip on the dragon just behind the left shoulder. Because oi its conformation, the dragon could not turn Its head to reach the coyote In this position and the little animal gnawed its way through the side of the monster and tore out its heart. “As the blood from the dragon’s heart was sprinkled on the sands of the river bar the coyote’s hot breath came in contact with the blood* moistened sand and vivified a sedi ment mass which took form and be came the race of the* Nez Perces, from whom have descended the people ol mankind. t Her Visit So Helpful.

Frank Fenn in the Idaho Statesman. “According to the Indians there was in primordial times a drag on which went about the earth destroy ing whatever came in Its way. There was only one creature capable of evad ing the monster. This was the coyote. When all other livings things had bees made victims of the dragon it deter mined to establish its supremacy by killing the only surviving antagonist After long search for the elusive Coyote the dragon finally met the little animal on the north hank of the Clear water river, at a point now marked by a conical mound of stone whfeh. In the I. A Penitent Woman’* Act of Love (vv. 37, 38). 1. The place (v. 37). It was in the home of Simon, the Pharisee, while Jesus was sitting at meat. When she knew of Christ’s visit in this home, she ' came to lavish upon him her affections. 2. The act (v. 38). She washed Jesus’ _ feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. Through some means .she had heard of the pardoning grace of Jesus Christ and God had opened her heart to receive Jesus as her per sonal • Savior, 3. Who she was (v. 37). Her name is not given. There is no good ground for assuming that she was Mary Mag dalene. The implication is that she ,was of a notoriously bad character. Though known to the public as a bad woman, something had happened which transformed hel^ She jeas a saved sin ner because she believed on Jesus* Christ. ; i II. The Pharisee’s Displeasure (v. 39). . r Simon felt scandalized by such a happening at his table. He was a re spectable man. For Jesus to tolerate such familiarity on the part of a wom an of such evil repute .greatly per plexed him. Though he believed in Jesus enough to invite him to dine with him, he questioned within him self as to whether, after all, he was not mistaken. He reasoned if Jesus were a real prophet, he would have known the character of this woman and would have either withdrawn his feet from her or thrust her back with them; or if he knew her character, his tolerance of such familiarity proved that he was not a good man. III. Jesus Teaches the Pharisee (vv. 40-50). He taught him by means of the parable of a creditor and two debtors. It is to be noted that Jesus made it very clear that he not only knew the woman but knew Simon also. 1. The common debt (v. 41). The woman was a siriner—so was Simon, though he was not the same kind of a sinner that she was. There were two debtors, though the one owed ten times as much as the other. This is still representative of all sinners. The Bible declares all to be sinners, yet recog nizes degrees of guilt. Full credit ought to be given to the man who is honest, virtuous, generous, and kind, yet such a life will not secure en trance into heaven. Much harm has been done by even evangelical preach ers through failure to recognize the essential differences in human char acter. On the other hand, the Savior’s words are a severe rebuke to the re spectable Pharisees who are sitting in judgment against sinners of a coarser type. 2. The common insolvency (v. 42). “And when they had nothing to pay,” Jesus freely granted the difference in the degree of the woman’s sins and those of the Pharisee, but drove home to him the fact that they were both debtors and had nothing with which to pay (Rom. 3:23). As sinners we may quit our sinning and hate our deeds but that does not make satis faction for the sins of the past. What we have done is irrevocable—it has passed from our reach. Every trans gression shall receive a just recom pense of reward (Heb. 2:2). We must come to our Redeemer, the Almighty God, and acknowledge our insolvency and accept the kindness of Jesus Christ who bore our sins in his own body on the tree (I Pet. 2:24). 3. The relation of forgiveness and love (vv. 44-50). Simon’s reluctant an swer to Jesus’ question showed that he got the point of Jesus’ teaching. In order to make his teaching concrete, Jesus turned to the woman, calling Simon’s attention to what she had done in contrast to what he had done. Simon had neglected to extend to Jesus the common courtesies of a re spectable guest, but tills woman had lavished upon him her affections and gifts. The measure of one’s love is de termined by the measure of the appre hension of sins forgiven. The one most forgiveir will love most. Frequently the worst sinners make the best saints. Become Lake Him The all-important thing is not to live apart from God, but as far as possible to be consciously with him. It must needs be that those who look much into his face will become like him.—Charles H. Brent. Pity Pity Is lore stooging, love drawn down by helplessness and want. Pity is love touched with sympathy, love sorrowing and suffering in our sor row.—Ci *H. Spurgeon.
