from giving full expression to
their conscientious conceptions
Of the right. We thank God
that the rousing Of the public
sentiment confines to make II
more and more easy, for men
and women to boldly speak
against and condemn disuniOn
among the'members Of Christ's
Body. The household of faith
should at once embrace the ho-
ly privilege afforded, and en-
brace fondly every member of
the Family in ) q sweet soul
cheering reunion. We have
been alienated to long already,
and by our illwill and miscon-
duct made Satan and his emas-
safes glad. 1t is high time for
a family reconciliation to take
place and all gather around the
same great Father, and at the
same common hearthstone,
pledge eternal fidelity to Parent,
and the children all.
There is nothing humilating
about this Union of Christians.
Oh, no; thanks be to God, it

Those who Christ makes free,
are free indeed;p and if they

trick of Eek and LEO failed, land
LUTHER was in Worms ready to
meet the augustDiet of Charles
", began January %, 1921.
In this Council was Francis l.,
Charles ", Henry Will, the
Moslem Solyman and a host of
illustrious princes, all aaame
for renown and the full aggran-
dizement of their selfish pur-
poses. 4z4
LUTHER was met outside of
Worms and told to stop, that
the danger was too great, but
on he went. The termination
of this Diet proved LUTHER too
much for all the powers of
Rome combined, and he return
ed home to Wittenberg a victor
through God. a..
The secret of LUTHER's sue
cess was his belief in the power
of the Holy Ghost, and justf-
catiOn By faith. LUTHER was
hardly gone ere Eek, MILTITz,
TREvEs and LEO X, sent forth
the illustrious Extravaganza,
destined to ruin LUTHER and all
who adhered to him. LUTHER's
friends siezed him and incarce-
rated him at Wartburg,to shield
him from the wrath of the Ro-
man See. After a time Luther
came back to Wittenberg, allay-
ed the confusion that had bro
ken out among his own follow
ers; for Carlstadt, one Of Lu-
theirs bosom friends, had become
so fanatical that he was about
to ruin the good work by his
extreme measures. Thus it is
in every good cause, there are
those wild fanatical extremists
who run the true cause aground
by extravegant conduct and
measures. '
Carlstadt left Saxony, and
finally became more wise and
combined his efforts with Twin.

Luther and Melancthor
evinced the true steel save Lu'
theirs obstinacy in the matter
of the real presence in the Eu

was held in 1929. However
Luther had been attacked BY
Henry VIII, Of England, il

French system of Making zso,- Beds

The French do not make up bed for
a single frame or range of frames, but
the commercial gardeners collect large
quantity of material-manure, garden
refuse, weeds, ETC., and having mixed
and left it to ferment time, as soon as
it is in fit state, they form it into one
large bed, twenty to fifty feet square,
and then cover it with frames, just
leaving sufficient room between each
range of frames to get between them TO
perform the necessary work OF cultlva-
ton. The beds are made OF the depth
necessary to give the desired tempera-
ture. three to four feet, and they pre-
sent the following advantages: 1st, a
large mass of fermenting material in a
state of slow decomposition I'd, very
small space exposed to the cooling effects
of atmospheric changes, merely the path
way between the frames and, Sd, econ
omy of material, inasmuch as the dung
necessary for two-light frame with us,
would be sufficient for three-light one
on the French plan. The drawback is
that of inability to replenish the heat
when the first supply becomes exhausted,
and no Innings can be applied. Still, as
a means of growing a summer crop the
plan is worth following, especially for
market purposes. A bed twelve feet
wide might be made facing east and west;
upon this two ranges of frames might
be fixed back to back and close together,
and upon such bed it is fair to infer
crops of either cucumbers and melons,
or in fact any other crop requiring bot
tom heat, might be grown with a GER
tainty of success.

sensible writer on swine says :
.sTbere 10 not one single advantage to be
claip,cd in favor of largs hogs. There
pever was monster hog that did not
make the man who raised him pay for
every pound he weighed. They don't
furnish an ounce of meat gratis, but
charge full price for every atom OF their
carcass. When slaughtered, it takes a
long time to get cool to the marrow of
the bone, and when the hams are put in
salt, it is troublesome to finish them to
the centre. Four hundred pounds, live
weight, is as large as hogs should be in
order to make good bacon. Beyond this
size there is loss somewhere. Either
the feeder, butcher or consumer is beat;
and as general thing, any one who has
anything to do with the big hog will
find, if he observes closely, that they are
not SO profitable as the smooth, nice hog
of three hundred and fifty pounds weight.
Small head and little upright ears, and
with legs and feet delicate to perfection,
are marks which indicate the greatest
amount of flesh for any given amount OF
food consumed, and will more readily
draw the attention of the butcher.

Agricultural Pickings.

Statistics show that there were in 1871
about 80, 100000 sheep in the United
States, yielding an average of four
pounds of wool each, or 5000, 900
in the aggregate. In addition, the an
nual importation of wool amounts to
about 100000 600 pounds, at a cost of
nearly $10,000,000 Then we import
wooden goods to the amount of nearly
$44, $50, 900 per annum. There is room,
therefore, for an increase of 1900, 900
more sheep in the country to supply the
home demand for wool, and for about
10000 900 to displace the importation
of wooden goods.
The Tobacco Lent says that the tobacco
disease has had very disastrous effect
upon the tobacco crop throughout Con-
nectcut, and not more than one-third of
this years product can be used for wrap
pers, the usual production being two
thirds for wrappers and One-thrd for
filters. The leaves have been so much
injured by the rot that it is feared they
will not stand the sweating process at
all. The growers are sanguine of good
prices for the sound portion of their
crop, and they are asking fifty and sixty
cents pound for fine wrappers.
MILTON MeTIlHelQ OF Snefleld, caught
forty-rwo rats in one night recently, by
exchanging a barrel of oats that had
often been visited by rats for barrel of
water, covering with chaff The ro-

To effectually cure a sitting hen put
two or three chickens in the nest with

An Ohian who has three-fourths of an
acre of ounce orchard, from which last
year he sold 800 bushels of frst-class
fruit, spades the ground in spring, and

quart of salt, and another quart when
the ounces are half grown.

STAGNANT WATER = An impression
that when still water in pools and in
canals where is scarcely movement, is
extremely dangerous, and especially
when covered with confervR, admits Of
a question. AT the Hague, the capital
of Holland, threaded with canals in
which no current is perceptible, they
are so densely carpeted with thick
green scum, strangers turn away from
them in fear, as though they were pol
soning the atmosphere. But no such
apprehension as being charged with
mephittic gases is expressed by the inhab-
itants. They neither see nor imagine
any sanitary disturbance from such a
source. Investigation shows that the
conferve is vegetable growth, actual
ly modifying and purifying exhalations
passing up through the delicate cover
ing. So much for fact. With us, a
green pool near dwelling is denounced
as a nuisance requiring immediate de-
struction because it will generate disease
Skim off the purifying conferva, that
which excites apprehension and disease
from the stagnant surface would soon
work disastrous effects.

Melon Wine.


How true it is that it takes everybody
to know everything. Pumpkins and a
variety of delicious watcrmelons grow
spontaneously in Arabia. Perhaps they
develop more richly there than in Per-
STA where they are extremely good
In the great plenty, immensely beyond
the demands of consumers where they
most abound, the prudent lockers ahead
cut hole through the rhind, while on
the vine, down into the pulp. 1t is then
closed slightly with wax. Under a ge-
NAL sun the cone soon begins to melt
away till it all disappears, leaving the
shell nearly full of delicious fluid
which is called melon wine. Like the
drink of the gods, if is not to be com
pared with any other beverage on earth,
say the consumers. A hint here for an
experiment the coming year.

Autumn and Winter Dipping.


The Irish Farmers Gazette has the
following on the dipping of sheep for
scab and for the killing of ticks:
1.-THE necessity for, and profitable re-
suits arising from, more frequent dip
ping is generally admitted hence the
practice of autumn and winter dipping
is fast gaining ground, and, in compar-
ison with the benefit gained, the trouble
and cost of the process is inconsiderable.
The growth of the wool is promoted to
a wonderful degree (repaying four-fold
the expense of dipping the animal is
allowed to feed in comfort, unmolested
by ticks and other yermin which infest
the skin. 1t is a notable fact that sheep
thrive more rapidly after dipping, and
being relieved from irritation (Which
causes them to rub themselyes), the
fleece is preserved whole and in perfect
condition until clip day.
sit may not be generally known the
amount of risk that is run by exposing
sheep with scab in a public market or
fair. The penalty according to law is
ruinous, being e5 per heep, and it is the
duty of the police to bring all such cases
under the notice of the magistrates.

These purchases are usually made at the

MARKETABLE FIsH.-With us, fish die
in the boat soon after being taken by the
hook or out of net. When the fisher
men have caught freight, then they
sell the lot on arrival at the wharf
Consequently some of the fish have been
dead several hours Their decay is OK
ceedingly rapid. So no one knows in
buying a dinner whether they are pre-
cisely fresh or not. Ice water and ice
keep up appearances long enough to sell
off the days stock.
In Chinese markets fish are swimming
alive in tanks, so a customer makes a
selection. That excellent custom is be-
ginning to be introduced in many Euro
pean cities Some attempts have been
made here, but it is rather troublesome,
so fishmongers continue to consult their
profits rather than the stomachs of their
patrons. That is natural enough, and
perhaps in such a variable range of tenn
perature as we have hereabouts, fish do
not begin to decompose for day or two
properly cared for in shambles.
Arabians on the shores of the Dead
Sea are proverbial fish eaters, but few of
them ever see one alive. AS soon as

are also fed on fish all along the coast,
as they are in Iceland.

sidered a brain strengthened, while the
latter keeps down glandular enlarge

No matter what the inducement may be,
