killing prevent the sowing Of good
area of fall oats. Our observation justi-
fies the statement that a crop Of fall oats
on the same land. and with the same
treatment, when got seriously injured
by cold, will generally yield twice as
many oats as a spring sown crop; and q
fall sown crop is not oftener killed out
by cold than a spring crop is ruined by
drought. The fall sown crop has so much
longer time in which to forage upon the
soil for a sufficient supply of material
and to elaborate the same, thst a fair
yield may be secured from ordinary
land. On the contrary the spring sowp.
crop must mature in so short a time that
it is almost useless to SOW on thin land
unless heavily manured.-Southerp

THE MOSQUE OF OMAR.

Here we enter the mosque of Omar,
a throne of MOhammedanism, where
we are met at the door by officials who
bring slippers that we must put on be-
fore we take a step further lest our
feet pollute the sacred places. A man
attempting to go in without these slip
pers would be struck dead on the spot.
These awkward sandals adjusted as
well as we could we are led to where
we see a rock with an opening in it
through which, no doubt, the blood of
sacrifice in the ancient temple rolled
down and away. At vast expense the
mosque has been built, but so somber
is the place am glad to get through it
and take off the cumbrous slippers and

Yonder is a curve of stone which is
part of a bridge which once reached
from Mount Moriah to Mount Zion,
and over ii David walked or rode to
prayers in the temple. Here is the
wailing place of the Jews, where for
centuries almost perpetually during the
day time whole generations of the
Jews have stood putting their head or
lips against the wall of what was once
Soiomon's temple. 1t was one of the

Greening, have more spreading

q more upright shape cut the shoots i'm

\ common error in pruning is to thin
out the central portion of the head,
leaving the outer part dense in growth.
This practice should be reversed, and
the outer part thinned, to let in the sum

1t should be remembered that the

after they are set in the orchard, the
work must be done before the buds
swell or the young leaves expand, or

topping it so that the lowest branch to

the formation of a symmetrical top.
The fourth year | would pursue the
same course of cultivation, of course,
widening the cultivated strip, and give
the same attention TO the trees as here
