James B. Scott, we'll known attorney
formerly of this city. who enlisted as
private in the Seventh regiment, has
been assigned to duty in the judge ad-
vocate generals department Mr.. Scott
is a graduate of Harvard, a lawyer of
scholarly attainments, and he speaks and
writes French, German and Spanish. He
is especially versed in history and consti-
tutional law. An effort is now making to
have him appointed by the president as
assistant judge advocate, with the rank
of captain. He will prove of great SER
vice in formulating and helping to es-
tablish a code of laws for the government
of the Philippines, should they be brought
under American control. Mr.. Scott's
many friends here will be glad to know of
his prospective promotion, and some of
them may be able to help it along by
writing good word for him to the powers
that be.

The amount of moisture in new oats
makes them much dearer than old
when used to feed horles. The differ
ence in price IS almost always OFFSET
by the loss in weight when the oats
are kept till freezing weather dries
them out. But a still more serious
loss from the feeding of new oats is
their laxative effect on horses hard at
work. They also often cause collie in
horses not used to them. 1t is best
always to buy some old oats to mix
with them, and thus gradually accus-
tom the animal to their use. Ii no
oats can be had, mix some wheat bran
with them, feeding dry, of course,
and give at first very few oats, gradu-
ally increasing the quantity as it is
found that the horse is not injured.
If this ration is too laxative give some
wheat fine middlings with the oats.

The monthly summary OF commerce

these exports amounted to $2O1, 1906,
against $1S59020 09G in the correspond

The Kingdom Is Real.

The kingdom of heaven is both real and
ideal. 1t already exists in the hearts and
lives Of those who follow Christ in His way of
sonship with God aud love to men, although
it is yet far from complete. But the real is
prophetic Of the ideal. The seed is III the
ground, and therefore the mustard tree
will spread out its branches where
the birds OF the air may build
their nests. The leayen is in the lump and
will ferment until the whole is leavened.
The kingdom as rea! is the kingdom Of God,
as ideal the kingdom of heaven. Not that
such distinction is always intended in the
use Of those terms. for they are employed in
terchanceab'y. but the kingdom Of heaven
definitely suggests the idea! and the perfect.
1t means that the law OF heaven is TO become
the law Of the earth. that il vii! so work in the
midst OF evils as to create a. length anew earth
wherein dwelleth righteousness. But 1t IS
the kingdom Of God already established in
the life aud sacrifice of Christ. Since there
IS now the kingdom OF God. there must be
in the future the kingdom Of heaven. 1t is
not mans kingdom but Gods kingdom, and
so will come to perfection. We can pray:
Thy Kingdom come" because We can also
pray: Thy will be done in earth as it Is in
heaven"

much difference between a mealy and

is the potato test: Wash them and then
put them in tub of water. They will
all sink. Add salt and the poorer,
lighter ones will rise. Add more salt
and others will rise. Those which

Cultivate Fewer Acres.

I am surprised at the small crops Of
grain, grass, potatoes, ETC., that are
grown on many farms. The lack of
sufficient good stable manure is large
ly responsible for this. A few years
ago a company was formed and a
large straw board factory built at the
county seat of my county. Since then
every farmer within a radius of ten
miles of this establishment fortunate
enough to have any straw has sold it
at the very low figures of from 81 to
50 per ton. With the money received
for the straw, some cheap grade COM
mercial fertilizer is purchased. As q
consequence the soils of the farms are
becoming thinner each year from a
lack of sufficient humus to make it
lively and friable. It is a very poor
practice to sell straw from the farm.
Keep enongh stock to work over all
Straw and rough feed into manure and
then iudiciously apply it to the felds.
The labor will be more than doubly
paid for by increased crops. Another
trouble with great many farmers is
their greed for too many acres. How
common it is to hear a man boasting
of the number of acres of corn or
wheat he is putting out, but when the
harvest comes he usually has about
one-third less acres than at seeding
time. 1t is an old adage that "tillage
is manure" We have this proven by
seeing a field that has had an extra
amount of work put upon it before
sowing it to wheat. The crop will be
much larger than on field only half
prepared. If we expect to keep
our farms in state of fertility that
will enable US to grow paying crops,
we must concentrate our work upon
fewer acres and have them we'll fertil-
lied. 1t pays much better to raise a
given number of bushels of wheat
from ten acres than to raise the same
number from twenty. BY doubling the
producing capacity of an acre, half of
the land can be in grass, mus givingit
a chance to recuperate.-M. c..

Dairy Farming.

Many Eastern farmers in seeking
some line of agricultural pursuit that
may prove remuneratiye to some de-
gree are turning their attention to
dairy farming. There are advantages
that come from this line of effort, one
of the chief of which is an acknowl-
edged Improvement of the farm. This
is an important consideration, but not
the sole one to be thought of. While
it is best to pursue such course as will
secure the improved condition OF the
farm, there should always be desire
which is laudable to get fair income
as a result of labor performed and Of
capital invested.
All who engage in dairy farming do
not make it a sIccC ), but some do.
Upon this point Professor Patterson,
of the Maryland Experiment Station,
in bulletin upon this subject, says:
"Success in dairy farming depends
really upon three facts-the man, the
COW and the feed" Regarding the
man, he should have good range OF
knowledge and be possessed of sound
Judgment. He should give regular
and proper attention to the business;
he should be keen observer and have
a proper sensibllity of neatness and
cleanliness; he should also have a
mild and even temper.
Regarding the COW, no dairyman
should be satisfied with any animals
but those of the best; they may cost
some more, but it must be remem-
bered ss1sat the cost of feed for a good
COW is no mole than for poor one,
while the returns are very many times
greater; neither is the care and atten-
ton any more for a good one than
poor one. 1t is fact that the feed,
labor or care and attention are dispro-
portionate in poor animal when COM
pared with a good one.
1t is not necessary that COWS should
be thoroughbreds to secure good re-
suits; excellent animals are found
among natives and grades, and it is
these that should be sought after at
all times. The great OBJECT should be
to secure those that have descended
from we'll known milk and butter
strains.
Dairymen can hardly expect to get
satisfactory COWS on the market, for
one who sells will hardly sell his best
COWS, and as any section of the coun-
try advances in dairying and the rec
ords of animals become known, the
more difficult will it be to purchase
good cows.
Regarding feed, it is hardly neces-
sary to mention SO plain fact as that
one cannot expect to secure something
from nothing. With good cows but
poor and insufficient feed not satisfac-
tory results need be looked for. Cows
should be supplied with good guam
tity of coarse feed of first quality sup
plemented by grain rations. IL this
age of general discussion of proper ra-
tions for animals it is not necessary to
even suggest articles Of food, but 1t IS
important to urge that one be satisfied
only with those t0at are recognized TO
be the best for the specific purpose OF
milk or butter production.
Observing these consideration, the
farmer who desires to launch into the
field of dairying may look for rea-
sonable degree of success; without
them he may expect disappointment.
