Mineral Manure for BARLEY.

Barley needs to be grown very early
to bring the best crop, and though Its
grain Is larger than oats, and the blade
Of the young grain Is broader, 1t may be
greatly improved by putting In with the
seed $50 TO 200 pounds of concentrated
fertilizer. There Is little nitrogen In
the soil In early spring. and II the bar
ley be stunted then Ii never fully rec0v
ers from 1t. This grain, like all others,
depends on its leaves TO furnish the
carbon which composes so large a part
of its bulk. II the leaf Is made smaller
than 1t should be 1t will not absorb so
much carbonic acid gas from the air.
But II the leaf growth Is made rank by
stable manure 1t Is very likely to cause
the leaf. and perhaps also the grain, to
rust. The crop then will be worse
than II no had been used. Min
eral manures make the stalk harder, so
that rust will be less likely to affect 1t,
and this insures plump aud well-alled
grains. American C%ultiyator.

Reguiar Feed for Calves.

In the spring the press of farm work
is apt to cause neglect of farm stock,
and especially In feeding calves. So
long as the calf gets It's regular feed, II
Is thought a matter Of small moment
whether 1t has this served at the usual
hour, or whether 1t has been allowed TO
get cold. When the temperature is no
longer freezing, the milk pail may stand
from morning until noo with the calf
milk In II, and, when given, the milk
will SO chill the calls stomach as to do
more harm than good. There Is no
surer way TO produce dlarrhoea or
''scours' than 10 put a pailful of cold
milk Into the stomach Of a IA f-starved
calf. The stomach Is Immediately chill
ed, and its first effort is TO rid itself,

1t Is always best to start with a full
colony of bees, and one that Is in every
way In first-class condition. 1t Is true
that you can buy a part of a colony
for less money. but 1t Is the dearest In
the long run and more liable to he a

difficult manipulation as that of a nu'

On the plaques or plates are written In

on Anron's miter-as It Is described la
Exodus, xxylll-xxxix. The Hebrew

The lining is of crimson corded silk,

Greek cross of hin ivory. Otherwise
there Is no adornment whatever, and
the effect generally is at once plain and
rich.
The shapes of mlters have varied
through the ages. There seems TO be
little doubt that the original linen inter
prescribed for Aaron was a fillet OF
linen. But In Exodus, xxx, 1t Is or.
dered, Thou shalt put the inter upon
his head, and put the holy crown upon
the inter" So that the effect of the
original high priests inter was thai

church adopted mlters. there has been

Lettuce Preceding cucnmbers.

y
One Of the favorite uses for the hot
house by maket gardeners Is in winter
to grow successive crops Of lettuce,
planting as many as three SUGGESTIONS,
and then following with a cucumber
crop. which may continue bearing until
all danger Of frost Is passed, and when
the hothonse may be kept warm enough
by the suns rays shining in on the
plants during the daytime. In fact,
the sun will heat any dollhouse too
warm for any vegetables. The win
dows must he opened for ventilation
all through the day. Some bees should
be kept by every gardener who grows
cucumbers, as they are necessary to
carry the pollen from the male 10 the
female blossoms. The male blossoms
are the first that appear OF the cucum-
Der vine. and they are much visited by
bees. SO oon as the female blossoms
appear the bees also visit them and fer
tilize the flowers. When cucumbers
are grown on hothouses a swarm Of
bees inside the building devoted to this
use is a necessity.

While we believe that some old corn
Is always a good thing to have through
summer and early fall, yet In spring
time there should come a day when all
the cobs, corn and other rubbish in the
corn house should be taken out and the

ter has bred there. II this is not done,
no matter how much corn may be left
In the bin, there will be little remain

THE DELIvERANcE BY BLOOD.
Rev. DIR. j. L. whites Sermon 20 the
Unsavcd.

| A large congregation, listened TO Rev. j.
L. Whites sermon at the First Baptist
Church last night. The sermon was based
| upon the incident in Exodus. 18th chapter.
| IsraePs deliverance by che blood on Intel
and two side posts. This brief outline will
convey some idea of the Sermon:
Salvation is from the sentence of con-
domination already passed upon mankind
because of unbelief. AL have sinned,
therefore the sentence of death has been
pronounced. There is an impending doom,
but men do not want TO believe 1t. Egypt
laughed Death came. Sodom scorned.
Death came. Jerusalem rejected the Christ
and was destroyed. These are historic
facts. "IIe that believeth moi is concedmn-
ed already" The sentence win be executed
unless pardon is sought.
Fear is a true motive; it is reasonable
motive. Great men have been moved by
fear to do great things. Fear God and
keep his commandments; this is the whole
Salvation by the shedding of blood is
Gods own arrangement. For 4S0 years
Israel had desired to flee Egypt, but all
plans failed. Gods plan succeeded. Our
salvation from sin is of Gods arrange
ment. THE Lamb of God taketh away
the sins of the world" This is revelation,
not by nature; IL is divine not human.
l.
from science, from trust in morality. Gods
way is the only hope.
Salvation is by substitution. The kid
had to be slain. Christ had to die, the
just for the unjust. The Saviour took
mans place and paid his debt He alone
could satisfy justice.
The benefits are received through simple
obedience. The Israelite had to take the
blood. sprinkle IL, pass in and stay in
He was safe. Simple acceptance or
Christs sacrifice saves us, Bow at the
cross of Jesus and surrender yourself to
him. Unbelief is not want of understand
ing, but disobedience. 1t is simple.
The hyssop was the connecting link
Hyssop was common grass. So faith is
the connecting link, Faith is the most
| common thing in the world. Faith in ia
Their and mother. Faith in bank. Faith
in commerce. Faith holds life steady.
Faith in Jesus joins the soul to God.
| The blood of Jesus Christ is the only OBJ
ject of faith. Pearls or gold or silver
would not have done that night in Egypt.
Only the blood of the lamb. Not Christ's
ing, but his blood. Not the Lords supper,
not baptism, but Christ's blood
Not only is ii to believe but to stay by
until the morning. Now is the time for
service. We must believe Jesus Christ.
! After we are saved we should unite with
the church and obey the Christ. When the
morning of deliverance comes, and we
are called UP to refreshments. we shall
go out with great joy. Brother, get be-
hind the blood

Trip to Atlanta.
An adjourned meeting of the Confeder-
ate Veterans Association was held last
night in the committee room at the
Guards Club. There was large attend
ance of members. Capt. M. p. Uslna pre-
sided.
In addition to the regular order of the
business of the meetings, the association
considered one or two points in connection
with the trip to Atlanta in July to attend
the reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans. The matter of uniforms came
up, and the sentiment among the members
was strongly in favor of their being worm
They win be serviceable in the camp 1t 10
proposed to establish for the veterans
when they move on Atlanta.
The association was notified that the
Daughters of the Confederacy would I'M
dertake to raise funds by a series of en-
tertainments to defray the expenses of
some Of the veterans TO the reunion.
Notice was given that at the next meeting
of the association, which will be next
month, the matter of holding more fire.
quent meetings will come up. 1t has been
suggested that the meeting be monthly in
stead Of bimonfhly as at present II is
thought the members could be bound more
closely together and that interest in the
organization could be better sustained with
meetings held more frequently.
