The Iron Trade Reviews Resume ofthe Week
in Iron Circles.
The important events OF the week to
the iron trade have been the announce

wages, with prompt strengthening OF
the market for Besscmer pig, and the
beginning OF negotiations that in nll
probability will result in sales OF Lake
Superior ores before the close OF the
month. No announcement of coke prices
has been made ms yet, but the fnct that
in few cases April coke was contracted
Tor short time ago on the basis OF
two cents advance over existing prices
for every cent advance in mining, leads
TO the belief that the advance will be
very close TO twenty-five cents. Some
operators, however, have been asking Il
three TO one ratio il providing against a
wngo advance. This would mean an
additional thirty.fvc cents on n ton OF
coke. Furnacemcn have covered in part
on sales OF Bessemer pig for delivery
after April l by accumulating coke al
the low prices prevailing and at most
valley furnaces, moreover, there arc
goodly stocks OF Bessemer iron. The

fopio For the Week Bexinninr Aug. 4.
Comment by REV. 8. II. Doyle.
ToIlc-our promised lapd and how to
reach h<s'sSzSsys XII. II, a2-M
Whether the twenty first chapter of
Revelation refers to the condition Of
things WHOM the gospel shall triumph
throughout the world or is subscription
of the future heaven is a matter of dis
pute. But in either case it may refer to
heaven, the promised land of the Chris
tian (i) as representing the reality or
(2) as type Of the real glory of the flu
ture existence of Gods people. From
necessity the Bible does not tell us
much definitely about heaven, because
we could not probably understand il.
What is told is in figures and types,
which, If we cannot fully understand,
is yet sufficient to encourage us in our
efforts to enter heaven, and this is un-
doubtedly tho purpose Of what is said,
particularly in the passage before us.
Our promised land is here represented
as 'the holy city of new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride, adorned for her hus-
band. " Jerusalem was the Jews ideal of
everything that was beautiful and de-
sirable, and such an image would fulfill
their ideal of what heaven should be as
it should also ours God dwelt in this
city, for it is called the tabernacle Of
God. " Where heaven is We do not know,
but that it is where God and Christ
manifest themselves in an especial man
ner we do know Where God is, where
Christ is, that is heaven, and there can
be no heaven without them The pres
ence of God was to be rich with blessing,
for He was to wipe all tears from the
eyes of His people, and there was to be
mo more death, neither sorrow nor
crying; neither any more pain" What
a comforting description Of our promised
land But God is to be everywhere
present in heaven, for the city had no
temple, no special place of abode for
God. Heaven is also place of security.
The gates of the city are not to be shut
by day, not to be shut at all, "for there
shall be no night there" No night of
sorrow of watching, of weariness, of
sickness, Of gloom and despair. Neither
is there to bo sun nor moon, for the
glory Of God and the Lamb are the light
thereof
hoM may We euter thls PROMISED
land? "There shall in no wise enter in
to it anything that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination or
maketh lie, but they which are writ
ten in the Lambs book of life" There
is but one way TO fulfill these conditions,
and that is to be in Christ. His blood
alone can cleanse us from sin. BY His
merits alone can our names be written
in His book of life. Think not to enter
heaven but through Christ, the door.

When to Sow Crimson Glover.

According to rules laid down by an
agricultural writer in The American
Cultivator, crimson clover ought to be
sown broadcast at the rate Of l9 to 10
pounds per acre in the north from July
15 to Oct. 10, in the northern tier of
southern states until Oct Is and in the
extreme south until the end of Novem-
ber 1t grows during the fall and spring
months and can be seeded among grow
ing corn after the last working or on
clean stubble, in tomato fields, among
grapes, tobacco, etc, and will take root
without being raked in or covered with
soil If the q ound is moist, it spreads
very rapidly. Probably the best way of
seeding is to prepare the ground as for
any other crop and lightly harrow in
and roll the soil.

Odd Mention.

According to the report Of the Maine
forestry commissioners, the lumber in
dustry is on the wane in Maine. It Is
claimed that study Of the lumber
operations on the Penobscot river sub
stantiates this statement
At the annual meeting Of the Madi-
son county IN. Y. Hop Growers asso-
citation the condition Of the growing
crop was considered as far from encour-
aging. Indications are that not more
than half crop will be harvested this
year.
In trial at the New York station
there was practically no difference in
yield between cuttings and whole pota-
toes.
Several auction sales of Connecticut
tobacco have been held, and this method
has been satisfactory to the Connecticut
Valley Tobacco Growers association,
as the growers believe that they can
realize more in this manner than If
sold by the old method.
The most notable Improvement in corn
growing is the use Of shallow cultiva-
tors, leaving the surface level instead of
the old plan Of running pillow between
the rows and throwing dirt up to the
hills.
