Rev. A. Hoffman preached in the
First Methodist church yesterday
morning from the text, "For he must
reign until he hath put all enemies
under his feet" l Cor. XV:25. The
speaker said in part; the latter condi-
| ton of men is going to be like the
| former. Originally men had more in
divdual power of rule than during the
| middle ages. The early tribes were
like the Indians our forefathers found
on this continent They had chief
men for rulers as they were found
worthy, and the life was a community
life. The reign of Christ is the produc-
ton of former conditions with the
chain of unity added to all the race.
Christ must reign, and Christ does
relgn-not as some supposed formerly,
and some even now, by making him
the invisible ruler but rather by
spiritual reign. The kings and rulers
of the earth were never to wiling to
acknowledge Christ as the visible head
of the earth, but only individually as
the invisible. The theory of Christ
becoming the visible head of temporal
rule was tried by the Papacy who
claimed to be the vicegerent of Christ
on the earth, land from whom all kings
should take their crowns. The zenith
of the temporal kingdom of the pope
has come and gone: it is his sunset. Its
of the earth is never to
return. So this having failed, the truth
OF the words of Christ is self evident,
MY kingdom is not of this world.''
That is, his kingdom is in, not of the |
world. Some say the rule of sin is
stronger than ever. That may be so, |
but only locally not generally. Take |
the custom of churches one hundred |
years ago at the installation of new

RELIGION AND INSANITY.

Lecture entitled 1.-The Sober Mind"
In a sermon delivered before the I'm
itarian society in Stiles hall on Sunday,
January 81, DIR. David Starr Jordan,
presidenG of the Stanford university,
said:
"Many college students become pes
simistic between the ages of IS to %.
1t is either the philosophical sadness
of first view of the great universe or
a mere imitation of clever minds, as it
was once fad to ape the melancholy
of Byron.
There are other pessimists who are
highly educated and men of very extern
sive travels, but who lack action and
purpose in life. Action is necessary to
health of brain or body. The best pur
pose that science and philosophy can
serve is to teach us what to do, to teach
us wisdom, which is the knowledge of
what to do next.
Another class of pessimists are men
who see things as they are and have
no illusions. The error of their philo-
snphical gloom lies in failure to Judge
life not alone by the present but by
parisOn of what we have been, what
we are and whittier we are drifting"
The speaker declared that pessimism
is a destructive philosophy. when
men begin to feel that they are only
bubbles on vast ocean, and when they
think that the universe is out of the
hands of God, they cease to be good and
noble and strong" said he. "Poetic
dreaming and sanity reverie are not
what man is for, but action. each to do
the best thing that lies nearest"
During the progress of the lecture
the DR.. used the following remarkable
language:
whisky, cocaine and alcohol bring
temporary insanity, and so does a re
vival of religion, one of those religious
revivals in which men lose all their
reason, their self control. This is sim

Forty-fve years had sped away before

Some people have very few friends

Broad and Narrow Tires.

Transportation is large part OF the
farmers business, and everything he
can do to procure better facilities in this
respect, is that much actual gain to him.
Some interesting tests have been made
lately to determine the relative merits
Of broad and narrow-tired wagon wheels
On a macadam street the same draft re-
Quired to haul a ton load with narrow
tires hauled more than a ton and q
quarter with broad tires. On gravel
roads the draft required to haul 1000
pounds with narrow tires hauled 2,610
pounds on broad tires. On dirt roads,
dry and hard and free from rUts, the
broad tires pulled more than one-third
lighter. On mud roads, spongy on the
surface and underneath, the broad tires
drew one-half lighter than the narrow
tires. On the same road, when soft and
sticky on top and firm underneath, the
narrow tires pulled materially lighter,
the difference amounting to an average
of one-third. When this same road had
been wet to a great depth by continued
rains and the mud had become stiff and
sticky, so that it would gather on the
wheels, the difference was again largely
in favor Of the narrow tires.

To Find the Best Hog.

A dispatch from Washington an
nOunces that a comparative test of the
different breeds of hogs Is to be made in
the laboratory Of the Bureau of Animal
Industry. Hogs for the purpose of this
test were raised on the Ames expert
mental station farm in Iowa. A record
of the conditions Of feeding was care
fully kept. The carcasses will be cut
up and analyzed in the laboratory to de-
termino the amount of fat, bone and
other constituent parts in each, to see
which condition Of feeding was the best
to produce "bacon" and lard" hogs re-
spectively, and also to determine which
OF the breeds was the best.
The samples include the Berkshire,
Poland-China, Tamworth, Chester and
Yorkshire varieties. The meat will be
given away when the chemists are
through with their experiments. The
animals were, of course, free from all
disease, as the idea was simply to ex-
pertinent as to the feeding conditions
and breeds They were killed by Swift
& Co., of Chicago, who will ship several
carcasses of the different breeds to Eu-
rope to discover which brings the high

Bulletins on TobaCOO-Raising

The Secretary Of Agriculture proposes
to issue a series of Farmers Bulletins
on tobacco, covering the different types
and phases of the industry. In the prep
aration of the material for number of
the subjects the secretary desires to
secure full competition. He therefore
authorizes the announcement that for
the best article upon each of the sub
jects hereafter named, to be selected in
the manner described below, he will pay
at the rate of SIS per 1000 words.
The papers are not to exceed 10000
words in length. They should be type
written if possible. They are to be sub
mitted to the secretary not later than
March 81, 1893. Those that are accepted,
If any, win be paid for as above and will
become the absolute property Of the de-
partment and be published under the
name of the author. If in the opinion
OF this board none of the papers sub
mitted on any subject is worthy Of pub
lication by the department, they will all
be rejected. The papers not accepted
will be returned to the writer's without
| publicity.
Three subjects are given here. II the
plan is successful other subjects may be
announced from time TO time

Value Of Good Roads to Farmers.

In Kansas we are so accustomed to
good roads that we are apt to lose sight
of an important phase of the road ques-
ton. Even here we sometimes have
poor roads, and when we do, If our local
markets are not well supplied, needed
articles are brought by rail from other
points when, If the country roads were
in good condition these supplies would
be taken to town by teams from the
surrounding farms.
Discussing this subject, a correspon-
dent Of the New York Tribune says
that in all the cities and large towns Of
the State there Is a demand for farm
products and for the bulkier and heavier
products such as hay and straw and
grain. In many cases the surrounding
country is quite capable Of supplying
that demand; in all cases it should do
so as far as possible; in most cases it
does not. Instead, supplies are brought
in by rail or canal from far away, per-
haps from other States, while at the
same time, within q few miles of the
market thus supplied, are farms that
have been abandoned as not worth work.
ing, and others whose owners are
in chronic discomfort and dispair at the
apparent i1npossibility of getting profit
able prices for their crops
And we quite agree with that writer
when he says that one prime secret Of
the trouble lies in the bad roads, which
keep the producer and the consumer
apart, by making it difficult, If not i'm
possible, for the farmers to get their
produce to market.

Jews as Farmers,

Experiments begun fifteen years ago In
Louisiana, renewed later In South Da-
kota, and continued in Connecticut and
New Jersey, to teach Jews again their
original occupation--that of farming
have been attended with a fair measure
of success. The week before last there was
an exhibit in Philadelphia Of the farm
products of the Jewish colonies in New
Jersey and Connecticut, with the object
Of showing the Russian Jews of the city
what may come of thrift and patience,
and to give them the hope Of something
better for them and their children than
the drudgery of the sewing machine and
herding in the tenement districts.
The New York Evening Post gives
some interesting facts relating to this
matter. The beginning in Connecticut
was in 1891, when a number Of Russian
Jews, working in the cotton mills, hav-
ing saved little money, bought up what
were known as abandoned farms, and,
by careful management, made paying
venture of it. The start in Woodbine
was In August, 1891, by Prof. Sabsovich,
a carpenter and surveyor. Now the town
has twenty-five miles of well-graded,
tree-bordered streets, two public and two
night schools, an agricultural college,
hotel, brick synagogue, public bath
house, several stores, four factories,
machine shop, $50 houses, three bene-
fetal societies and two educational clubs.

Destroy Old Raspberry Canes.

Assigning as reason for advising the
burning of old raspberry canes, Green's
Fruit Grower tells Of a discovery the
writer made In his own canes. He says
his raspberry. fields were pleasant
sight to see in the early summer but
before their fruit was ready to pick,
the bushes commenced to show signs
of sickness, and the fruit ceased to grow
and In instances dried up. In examin-
ing the old wool we found out the cause,
four-fifths of the canes were infested
with the borer, from one to ten being
found In the cane; these pests were In
different stages of development, many
ready to come out and start business on
the young wood for another season,
while some resembled ants eggs And
this in the heart of the cane, Of course,
had taken the vitality out Of the bush.
He advises that when bush has borne
its fruit and is dying off, as all raspberry
bushes do, then make business Of cut
ting out all the old canes and burning
them.

Horses in japan.

The Mikado of Japan is evidently bent
on improving the native strain Of horses,
for his agents, who have recently been
all through Europe for the purpose Of
buying horses, are now travelling In the
United States with q view to purchasing
twenty more horses for the imperial
stables. His Majesty 10 passlonately
fond of horses and racing, and owns
about 5000 animals, about 1000 Of which
are kept at the imperial farm of Niccap,
600 at Simoussa, and the remainder at
Sotoyama. Racing, however, is pur-
sued solely In the interest of sport, for
no betting rings are allowed on any Of
the courses, as the Emperor Is opposed
to gambling. Horse racing evidently
remains the sport Of kings in the land
OF the chrysanthemum, for only the
upper classes attend the races, admis-
sion to the course being fixed at $3 a
sum which probably represents many
weeks wages of the average workman.

Handling Apples.

What a difference there is between
apples that are carefully handled and
those that are not. Apples for winter
use and for market ought to be picked
BY hand from the trees and carefully put
IN q basket. There ought not to be a
bruised spot on one Of them, for 1t is In
the injured places where rot begins. An
exchange wisely says that II an apple
cannot be reached by the picker 1t had
far better be left to hang on the tree
than TO be shaken off and put with the
picked fruit. All fruit that drops while
picking or is shaken from the trees
should be placed by itself. After a few
days the bruised fruit can readily be
detected, and that which Is perfect can
be placed with the picked fruit.

The ffth annual convention of this
body was held last week at Lawrence
and several instructive papers were

Campbell, who explained what is now
known as the Campbell system of farm

Mr. Diesem told of the success Of the
small farmers and fruit growers of Fin
ney county who had undertaken and car
ried out irrigation on their own re-
sponsibility for their own places, and
declared II his belief that that was the
solution of the irrigation question. He
gave a number Of illustrations of the
way this form Of irrigation had been
mado to pay In his part of the State, and
was enthusiastic in his praises Of its
strong points.

waiting them right along until the vines
were nearly dead. They looked thrifty
all through the season Some of the
neighbors would not cultivate their po-
tarOes in dry weather, thinking 1t would

but once OF twice. Result: We have

to protect peach trees in winter, was
made Of four parts Of water, one part of
SKINNED milk and enough freshly
Stacked lime to make as thick wash
as could conveniently be pumped
through Bordeaux spray nozzle with
out clogging This wash was sprayed
on the trees by means Of bucket spray

the last of December and three sub
seQuent sprayings were necessary to
keep the trees thoroughly coated until
spring. The cost for material and labor
Is about 10 cents per tree, when done
on a small scale. OF the whitened buds
80 per cent. passed through the winter
safely, while only 20 per cent. Of the
unwhitened buds escaped winter killing.
Whltened buds blossomed three to six
days later than unwhitened ones.

soft dirt about the root and cover lightly
the sides. Grape vines should be pruned
before laying down; II the covering Is
loose. 30 that the air will dry the fresh
