AMONG THE CHURCHES.

The Christian Endeavor society has
more than 3,30o,0 names on its rolls.
There are 242 German Baptist
churches in the United States, with
q, 900 members.
Canon Farrar knows the Gospels by
heart, and can recite them from the
first verse of Matthew to the last Of
John.
Few Americans are aware of what IN
immense establishment the Church Of
England is. It's recent year book shows
1,3ss,3s6 appropriated sittings and
4,703,0CS free sittings. Its Sunday
school attendance is 2,410,201, and 4,329
of it's churches are open for daily

Referring to the statement that GER
tain prominent preacher was delivering
q series of sermons with popular nov
els as his text, the Pittsburgh Christian
Advocate says: 1.-THE Bible Is the
pr eacher's book especially in the pull
pit. 1t is the book of texts and sub
jects. No discourse is worthy to be
called q sermon which Is not founded
on Gods word, and no text should be
taken from this which is not complete,
and does not contain an important
truth"

SONG OF THE SHIRT WAIST.
1t Arises When the Airy, Fairy Fa-
voHfte of the Ladies Makes
Its Appearance.

Harkl the pipes of Pan are pleading-like
q sweetheart interceding-in behalf Of lazy
fellows nowadays-for the proud and paint
ed tulip-and the meek and minted julep-
are a-bloom again along Efe's arid ways!
Yes, it works chaps unloading-when he
knows that natures wooing-from the up
lands and the lpwlands and the meres-
When the noontide CLOVIS in splendor-when
the nights are soft aad tender-and the cap
tivating shirt waist reappears!
When the liyer-pad is writing-and the
hly-pad is fitting = on the breeze be-
dimpled bosom of the pool-When the ripe
red rose comes pleasing-and the ripe red
nose stops sneezing-and the little boys play
hockey from the school.
1t is lawful to be lazy-when each dear,
old-fashioned daisy-breathesa message from
the fragrant yester years-When the fields
are sweet with clover-and (be still my
heart) moreover-when the airy, fairy shirt
waist reappears!
When the violet blossoms happy-on the
coatlet of the cappie-When we hustle out
| the old mosquito bar-When the tipsy holds
wassail-in his honeysuckle castle-when
the troubadour is tuning his catarrh.
When that tired, transcendent feeling
into every heart comes stealing-sweetly
| pensive, like sunny maiden's tears-When
the bird choirs lift their voices-when, in
| short, all earth rejoices-and the immemorial
shirt waist reappears!-N. o. Times Demo

"A few days will make quite diff

Cattle will eat nearly the whole of it
if cut before it loses its bright color
and its succulent leaf.
Because grass is green, growing
and abundant is no reason why the
sorghum patch should be omitted. The
time will come a little later when the
sorghum win be needed.
The Oklahoma experiment station,
after tests, has decided that early
planted wheat gives better promise
that that sown later. The same prin-
ciples prevails in Texas.
OF the holding of fairs, like the
making of books, there is no end. And
both are desirable, if the books and
the fairs are worthy. If not worthy,
it is likely that both do harm.
While nest eggs have nothing to do
with increased egg production, they
have a good mission in teaching hens
to lay in certain places instead of drop
ping their eggs any and everywhere.
Breed, feed. fatten and market
the hogs young, and turn off two
crops a year rather than one every
two years, as was the old custom. A
good clover field helps in this won
derfuIly, and in it the hogs will keep
vigorous and healthy.
The American mule, as has often
been truly said, is worthy of much

popular estimate awards it. Tie
American mule is an animal of en-
durance, an an important factor in tho
wealth of the agricultural states.
The reason for SO much butter
made on farms being unstable at bet
ter prices is not the fault of climate,
food or cows. 1t is simply because
farmers do not know how to make
good butter, and because many OF
they do not know the difference be-
tween good butter and bad.

Still others SOW peas broadcast when
blowing the corn the last time. As
the corn roots have already extended
over all the ground, and the peas will
not grow much until the corn quits
growing, they do not injure the corn.
When the corn. has finished its growth,
there is yet time for quick-growing
peas to make crop. This secures a
crop to cover the earth in August and
September, aud often makes quite a
good crop of peas. The soil is greatly

be well to sow peas in every corn

well paid. If you have field so ar
ranged that nogs can run in these

then you help the land. There is no cos'
