The Purpose Of Prophecy.

literally Who was the Prince And
what about the city ? And the waters
flowing eastward e.? And if it could not
be satisfactorily understood, why was
it given? But ! have learned to be
more modest in my demands, and to be
content that future generations should
have something new to discover, in
stead of getting all their wisdom at sec
ond hand from us.
Our Lord furnishes rs the key of all

you before it come to pass, that when

we see Gods fultillmcnt of it. If it
were given merely to inform us before
the time, it would be given lis with

much To be feared, we should, when
we saw the time approaching, sit down
and do nothing but wait for its coming.

Bone Dust and Wood Ashes.

A farmer in Indiana gives the fol-
lowing result of an experiment with
bone dust and wood ashes. He says ::
Il applied six hundred pounds of dry,
unIeached ashes to the acre, and sowed
wheat on that. and the result was only
six bushels to the acre. Adjoining this
tract drilled in two hundred pounds
of bone dust and the three acres pro
duced twenty bushels to the acre, be
ing an increased yield of fourteen bush
els over the tract sown with wood ash
es. The following year | used five
hundred pounds of bone dust on the
plat where | had previously sown six
hundred pounds of ashes, and the re-
suit was forty bushels of wheat to the
acre, being double what the bone pro
duced alone. This experiment salts
fed me that ashes alone or bone dust
alone would not give me yield that
paid to my satisfaction. This acre
with ashes yielded six bushels, the acre
with bone dust yielded twenty bushels,
but when the two were combined har-
vested forty bushels. This shows what
experiments and a small expenditure of
money will do for the progressive far
