CoME!-If you have led sinful life, and
are now ashamed and weary of it-if you
arise and 20 to God, He will receive you gra-
ciously, and will abundantly pardon. All
his assurances are to the same affecting tenor.
"He is long.suHcring, not willing that any
should perish. As live, saith the Lord
God, 1 have no pleasure in the death of
the wicked, turn from his way and live.
Turn ye, turn ye, from your evil ways" And
here He is represented as the merciful Father,
whose pity survives the longest provocation,
and whose love is such that, when the prodi-
gal at last returns, He presses him to his
bosom. Such is the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus, and if you are wise, you will let
no cold suspicion or subtitle casuistry cheat
you out of the strong consolation. You can
not err in believing what the Lord Jesus says
you cannot err in doing as He directs. Be
assured that God is as kindly disposed as in
the parable of the Prodigal Son Heis repre-
sented to be- The calls, invitations, promises
which He has given us in the gospel mean
the utmost of what they express and God is
as earnestly desirous that sinners should return
unto Him, and as much pleased when they
actually return, as the strongest language OF
the Gospel declares.

To AVOID Cur Worms IN CoRN.-This
is the experience of man in Indiana, as told
in the Cincinnati Gazette:
"a few years ago my father had fifteen
acre field, well set in timothy, which ne
wished to put into corn. We commenced
breaking it up in February, and finished be-
fore the grass began to grow. When the
ground was dry we narrowed it, and cross
narrowed it, until it was in fine order, being
almost as dry as an ash heap. We planted
in good time, and it came up nicely; but the
cut-worm destroyed it all, so that it had to be
planted over again, and then replanted after
the second planting, before we could get any
thing like fair stand of corn.
"Our neighbor had a field just across the
fence of about the same size. 1t was on the
same slope, and was the same kind Of land
exactly. 1t had been in timothy the same
length of time that our field had. He broke
it up late in the spring, and planted it in
corn the same day that we did. The grass
had gotten such start, before he commenced
breaking up, that after the field was planted
it looked almost as green as pasture. His
corn came up nicely, and there was so little
of it destroyed by the cut-worms that ne did
not take the trouble to replant it.
"He raised good crop of corn on his field
while we raised poor one. His good natured
remark was that he fed his cut.worms on
grass, instead of corn"

Bound TO GET A SUBSCRIBER ANY WAY.
An editor was once out on jaunt in town
ship out west sticking to every farmer until
he got his name and money, and it so hap
pened that he came to house where death
had called few hours before. The farmers
wife was laid out, and the husbandman and
children were grieving over her loss when the
editor knocked at the door.
whats up?' inquired the editor, as he
saw the farmers solemn countenance before
him.
"My wife is Dead" replied the farmer.
"Is that so ?" mused the editor, a little dis
appointed. did she die easy?"
"Dropped off like lamb"
"Did she say anything?"
"Not word-just went to sleep like"
II didn't know" continued the editor, sad
look on his face, "but what she might have
requested you to subscribe for the Cascade,
which you know is the best paper in the coun.
try. If you want it III take your name right
in, and under the circumstances won't
charge cent for the obituary notice"
The farmer hung off for while, but before
the editor went away he had two additional
dollars in his pocket and had written out an
obituary notice for publication in the next
issue, which the bereaved husband pronounced
"a mighty smart piece

SWEEP Potato CULTURE.

Mr.. Editor Some Of your correspondents,
as we'll as yourself, have been laudably ur-
ging our farmers to give particular attention
to producing sweet potatoes as an essential
element of home support. 1t must be evident
to all families that next to bread and meat
potatoes is the next important item of sup.
port, and we think no given quantity OF land
yields greater amount OF family support
than that planted in potatoes. But l com
menced writing more to suggest convenient
method of planting potatoes than anything
else. I think it is a labor-saving plan. Land
should be re-ridged at least twice-three
times is better-to fully pulverize the ground.
The last ridging, throw the ridges moderate
ly high. Take bull tongue, or ordinary
cotton opener, open near half way down in
the ridge; drop the seed take a one-horse
plow and throw a furrow from each side !;
then take a harrow and run once on each side
of the row, letting the horse walk so as to
turn the harrow proper angle to have 1t
bear on the ridge from top to bottom; this
will fully pulverize the ground, and give the
ridge a nice smooth finish, and your potatoes
are planted without the use Of hoe at all.
First working, run cotton.scraper nearly
around your potatoes, and the scraping is no
more labor than scraping cotton. When you
get ready to hill up, bar off pretty close with
a turning plow, and then hill up. This bar
ring is to have loose ground for the potatoes
to grow in.
Never plant in March; from the 10th to
the last of April is the safest time, as the late
planting is most likely to have mellow ground
for the potatoes to develop in.
Planting from slips and vines is doubtless
the best, and the chief reason, that the ground
is mellow and in better condition.

ADLER WANTS A PENsIoN.-Congress
has received a petition from certain men who
fought the Indians in Tennessee in the earl }
part of this centuary, asking that they shall
be pensioned like the veterans of the war OF
1912. Ifthis request is granted we shall de-
mand that the militia who defended Pennsyl'
vania in 1863 shall also be pensioned. We
were one of those militia-men,. and no man
will ever know what We suferedEor our coun-
try. We would be lying in camp gorged
with bacon and hard-tack, and feeling as we
never wanted to move, when suddenly the
enemy would be discovered to be within twen-
ty miles of US and we would have to get up
and leave and hurry off toward home. Then
when the enemy retreated we would come
back again with our feet wet and our nervous
systems injured by fright, and just as we got
full of rations again some ridiculous officer
would prance up and begin to drill us until
our legs ached and our trowsers were covered
with mud. Every time gun went off in the
neghborhood we were scared nearly to death,
and once when the enemy actually surprised
US. several of our men started for Hudson's
Bay, and hurried so to reach their destination
that they didn't stop for food, and remained
hungry for three or four hours alta time.
Then imagine what we suffered from our mus.
kets Whenever one of them was accident
ally discharged it usually kicked the holder
thirty or forty yards to the rear, and ended
by dropping on his corns. There were few
soldiers in that war that suffered as we did.
There were few who retreated so swiftly and
so often, and came back with such painful
slowness. And not one of US shed a drop Of
the enen,y's blood. We were opposed to this
sanguninary method of conducting war, and
we tried to set the foe good example in this
respect. 1t didn't seem to impress them
much though. But now we want pension.
We want pension so that we can save up the
money and buy substitute who will 60 and
die for US in the next war. 1t is sweet for q
substitute to die for ones country, much sweet
er than to die for it yourself.

To WRITERS OF POETRY FOR THE
TELEGRAPH, we would say that, ito
secare publication, their productions
must POSSESS some merit just how
mach merit is difficult to determine.
If ve consulted our own judgment
and feelings onlyws should No. admit
any poem not written strictly in .ac.
cordance with the rules Of versifica-
ton and conveying good sense. But
this would be very Unsatisfactory
and even painful to some writer's. 1t
gives most writer's pleasure to have
their poetic productions accepted
and published. Knowing this, we
sometimes publish poetic writing
when it gives us pain in doing it.
Though it may seem paradoxleal. 1t
gives US pleasure to give others
pleasure by publishing their poems
when we can do it without giving us
a greater amoun+ OF pain. SO we
would Say to all who write poetry for
the TELEGRAPH that, if we do not
publish what they furnish, it 10 be-
6 ause we Il ink it would give us more
pain than it would give them pleas
ure. And, as it would give them
pain to have us do what they know
would give us pain, we hope they
will aix, to bring their poetic pro-
ductiOns up to such q stand Of merit
that thier publication will give both
them and us pleasure and neither of
us pain
