Teaching Hints.

Before proceeding to teach this as d
temperance lesson, the teacher should get
firm grasp on the situation which it was
written to meet. The vast difference
between that and the temperance situa-
ton is CT course evident; it is universally
alleged by advocates of total abstinence
that alcoholic drinks are in themselves
physically injurious, and that their in
furious effects do not depend upon the
conscientious scruples of the person who
uses them, but upon their physiological
properties. The meat offered to idols,
on the contrary, was just as good as any
other meat, not only in the opinion of Paul
and many of his COrinthian readers, but
i'm fact. The only reason Paul urges for
abstaining from its use is that those
Christians who regard the consumption of
such food as wrong may not be tempted
to act against their conscience in this re-
spect, and thus open the way to other and
graver transgIessions.
Therefore the argument here used by
Paul should be urged as ground for alb
stinence from strong drink only when ac-
companied by the other argument based
on the injury to self caused by alcohol.
1t is when one is arguing with person
who denies the latter claim that the posi-
ton set forth in the lesson is most APP
plicable. In teaching boys in an ordinary
Sunday school, one would not find among
them any one competent to question the
scientific testimony on this point; and it
would be very doubtful wisdom to CON
cede, even for the sake of argument, that
possibly moderate drinking" may not be
in itself always harmful.
a broader application of the lesson than
to the one matter of beverages is there
fore advised A great moral principle.
the interdependence of mankind, is here
enforced A still greater spiritual princi-
pie. the worth of n soul for whom Christ
died, is adduoed as the supreme motive,
sufficient for any sacrifice. Give the words
their own full swing, and let the applica-
ton, for once, take care of itself.

The Important Peanut.

The peanut is coming into greater
prominence every year as factor in the
worlds supply Of things useful, and
there is hardly any limit to tire predic-
tions of the uses to which it may be
put. At the same time, tho territory in
which it may be grown is rapidly ex-
tending, and it is not too much to hope
that it soon may become a really i'm
portant crop in this country. says The
Farm News, authority also for the fol-
lowing:
Peanut oil is now highly valued in
Europe, and peanut -four, said to be ex-
tremely nutritious, is used extensively
in Europe, especially in hospitals. An
oil factory, with a capacity sufficient to
use five tons of peanuts daily, has been
established at Norfolk. In prospectus
issued by the company 1t is calculated
that the receipts from five tons Of pea
nuts will amount to $50 gallons Of re-
fined oil, at 81 per gallon; 175 gallons
Of crude oil, at 80 cents; $3.50 pounds
of flour and meal at 2 cents, and $500
pounds Of stock feed at go cents per 100
pounds, making the total gross receipts
4415. 90 per day, which, it is estimated,
would give yearly profit on five ton
factory Of $19, 725.

THE PROPER TIME 70 SELL
When tho Article Is Ready For Market
as q General Rule

When tho Article L. Ready For Market,
as General Rude.
Many farmers are so situated that
they are compelled to sell their surplus
products as soon as ready for market
making no difference whether the mar
ket is demoralized or in f1ourishing
condition, for they need the money and
must sell or borrow. This class sthe
proper time to SELF need not worry.
Rather than borrow money, always dis.
pose of your surplus products, unlese
you see some remarkable future in hold
ing. This advice comes from an Ohio
correspondent, who writes as follows to
Country Gentleman:
The price Of apples and potatoes is
often much higher during the winter
and spring months than in the fall,
when they can be marketed at much
less expense. If apples or potatoes are
stored to await higher figures, there is
an increased labor and risk in keeping
them. Then, too, there is always more
or less loss from rot and other causes.
When any commodity not of a perish
able nature is at its lowest price, or
1t Is reasonable to believe the lowest
price has been reached, ia not the time
TO sell, for reaction has in nearly all
instances shortly followed. When the
price Of wool went to the bottom, as it
did In 1895, not few farmers who had
on hand two clips beside the one Of
1895, became uneasy and sold their en-
tire collection. Wool loses very httle,,
If any, if properly packed, even if kept
for two or three years.
Is it not the safest and in the end the
way that oftenest pays to make it a
rule to sell when the products are ready
for market, unless the condition of the
market points to a decidedly better bear
future? Unless one has made carei1l
study Of the markets for some time, the
condition which now exists and which
many think is still going to be the same
for months may change in 2i .-uurs
more than was thought poss:t : he
next six months
In the fall. when the majority of ;rti
cles are harvested and are ready for
market, the roads arc good. Hauling can
be done much easier and cheaper. Often
the higher price Of some commodity
late in the winter or in the spring is
due to the condition of the roads, which
are often at that season of the year al
most impossible. The cost of getting the
the advance in price quite often. Good
winter roads-that is, turnpikes-are
not to be found in all localities by any
means Summing it all up, the proper
time to sell is when the article is ready
for market, unless there is every indica-
tion of advanced prices in the near fu-
ture. Even then, unless it is shifted to
the bottom, we may think that condi-
tions exist which do not.

Precautions In Spraying.

The fruit groves should never mix
copper preparations in iron or tin YES
sells, but should always use wooden or
earthenware ones. See to it also that
the valves, cylinders, piston, etc., Of the
spraying pump are of brass. Do not add
paris green to compounds containing
ammonia or sulphate of copper. Al
ways use lime or bordeaux mixture. Do
not spray with the arsenites or copper
compounds within three weeks Of the
time when the sprayed portions are to
be eaten. There is little danger Of dele
terious effects, but it is best to run no
risks. Bordeaux mixture and other lime
compounds should not be used on rough
fruits or on those about matured even
90 late as this, for the lime not only dis
figures the fruit and renders it less sal
able, but the amount Of copper Is large
In conclusion, says the Iowa Homestead,
remember that success depends upon the
thoroughness with which spraying is
done.

Remedy For the Melon 1.on.s.

The only known remedy for the mel
on louise, go destructive last season, is
bisulphide of carbon. Farm Journal
tells how to use it: Fasten piece of
rag, sponge or cotton batting to stick,
dip it in the liquid and push the other
end Of the stick into the center of the
hill Place over this at once tent of
paper or oiled muslin and let it remain
two hours. The liquid is volatile and
its fumes heavy. They will fill the tent
with deadly gas and destroy every
louise.
These pests usually appear at first on
hills here and there over a field, and
from these spread in circle outward,
finally involving the whole patch. By
keeping sharp watch and treating
these few hills the whole crop may be
saved. The presence Of the lice may be
detected by the inward curl of the leaves
and their dirty, dark green color, The
lice being on the underside and shield
ed by the curl of the leaves, it is almost
impossible to reach them by any form
Of spray.

PROTECT THE HAY CROP.
Increased Use Of Waterproof Canvas n
Hay Cans and Covers.

Increased Use Of Waterproof Canvas Fer
Hay Caps and Covers.
There is an increased call for water
proof canvas among farmers who realize
the Importance not only Of cutting o
good hay crop, but maturing 1t well
after cutting and guarding 1t from
dampness and mold, which surely comes
IL it encounters rainstorms or long
spell of wet weather. Keep your hay
dry In the cock and in the stack, and
have it we'll cured before taking It to
the barn. Thus it will be sweet and
fresh and all the more nutritious to the
animals who feed on IL. Furthermore,
hay thus cared for retains bright, fresh
appearance and q sweet odor, which
will enable IL always to command the
best price when put on the market, !"
says The Hay journal, from which the
following is also CLEANED:
Whenever grass is to lay day or two
In the field, 1t is always liable to be
kept there a week or more by rain or
weather too damp or cloudy to dry ii in,
and single drenohing rain, OF even
wetting, Injuries it not little. It can
seldom be dried enough topus into the
NOW or stack the same day, and it is
not always desirable to do so. Heavy
dews also iniure 1t. It ia we'll recog-
nized fact that hay cured under caps has
q good green color and goes to market
in the best possible condition. Hall a
dozen hay caps will cover about ton
of hay and add from 90 to $8 to Its
value. These caps would cost not over
$3 for half dozen, and reckoning the
life Of the caps at five years, which is
certainly not too much IL cared for, the
cost would not be over 10 cents ton
per year, and the hay would bring from
90 to &5 q ton more. Ready prepared
hay caps Of excellent quality can be
purchased at very low prices to suit the
times.
But this is not all that has to be done
10 get hay to market in the best condi-
tion. When stacked in the open, stack
covers should be used to protect IL, and
there are few farmers who cannot afford
one or more of these. They come In
handy to spread over half finished hay
or grain stacks, partly thrashed grain
stacks, loads of hay or grain left on the
wagon over night, to spread under the
separator and to throw over reaper or
thrashing machine at night, and for nu-
merous other purposes on farm.
Loads OF hay or grain on the way
to the railroad or boat landing should
have O cover thrown over them. 1t iS q
we'll known fact that all the large hay
and grain dealers in cities take the
greatest possible care of their goods,
and always use covers when goods are
in transit, and the blame for hay being
spoiled can never be laid to them. It is
certainly to the interest of the farmer
and shipper Of hay to do his part and
send only prime. well cured hay Of
good color to market, where it will COM
mand a high price. 1t will be much
more satisfactory for the commission
agent to sell at high figure. The cost
Of transportation and handling is the
same on a poor quality as on the best
grades Of hay, and the difference in
price is all clear gain to the grower.
