which the Beers can receive any sup
plies from abroad the entire coast for
hundreds OF miles on either side being
almost Inaccessible to vessels Of heavy
draught. The port belongs to Portugal,
and as long as that country remains
neutral, II cannot be blockaded. That
is the reason why Great Britain Is seiz-
Ing vessels on the high sea. suspected

That Great Britain herself Is drawing

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Columbus Georgia. Dec. 20. 1899
To the Editor:
Dear Bro:-Kindly explain through
your valuable paper the following APP
parent discrepancy; Ezekiel 81, l6
says that he Is asked to take another
stick and write upon 1t for Joseph the
stick Of Ephraim. When Jacob blessed
Joseph's two sons he said Gen. 40, 1877
that Ephraim should become null
titude Of nations" We understand, OF
course. that this multitude OF nations"
refers to the many tribes Of Indians, de-
scendants Of Lehi. In reading Alma
TO- Ia, Amulek traces his ancestry 10
Lehi who came from Jerusalem, and
who Is descendant Of Manasseh.
We have. so far, been unable TO find
any one prepared TO solve the problem;
therefore for the benefit of others as
we'll as ourselves we respectfully ask
for the desired information. The

Your brethren In the cause Of truth,
II. p. HANSEN,
j. A. SORENSoN.
The "discrepancy" which troubles our
correspondents and which Is only zap
parent" is caused by the assumption
that the tribes Of Indians who were
once a multitude Of nations, are all
descendants OF Lehi." That Is a mis-
take. Lehi, 1t is true, was
descendant Of Manasseh. But Ish-
mael, who, with his family,

the larger plates Of Nephl had been
translated this would have been fully

utilized and the Book of Mormon is but
an 'abridgment" Of the entire record.

Ezekiel calls this record "The stick

takes precedence in this matter. (Gen.
Xviii, 1920. In the last days too, Eph-
rain Is the Lords 'firstborn" in the

called, either the stick Of Joseph or the
stick OF Ephraim.

Please answer following questions in
your paper:
Section 20 Doctrine and Covenants
says IN verse IS, the Elder or Priest
shall administer the Sacrament, He
shall kneel with the church" Does
that mean for ell 10 kneel? The writer
has had the privilege to visit several
places of worship. One place the Elder
or Priest will stand alone while the
other sits; the next place the one will
kneel while the other sits; the next
place the two win stand or kneel to-
gether. Please answer which Of all
these are right Yours in the Gospel,

American Farm, Implements,

although a large number of Amcri-
can-made plows, harrows and other farm
implements are exported to foreign coun-
tries, the demand for American harvest
ing machinery is far greater than for
any of them," said a leading wholesale
dealer in agricultural tools to a reporter.
"Our harvesting machines, mowers, reap
crS and binders are used all over the
world, and in many countries, such as
South Africa and Australia, extensively.
These machines, like all other Yankee
products, are, of course. copied by foreg,,
manufacturers, but the foreigners are
generally year and sometimes more, in
adapting our new ideas. The American
machines placed On the market CON
temporancously with the foreign copy are
likely to contain improvements over the
machine copied from one of year or
two years previous, and it is sure to have
some touch of superiority in detail or
workmanship. American harvesting ma
chimes are the finest in the world-the

TEACHERS VALUE TO PUBLIC.

Her Opportunities to Do Good Are
Greater Than a Clergyman's.
"What the teacher is counts for much
more than what she sknows. A love of
children, unlimited tact and infinite pa
tience are the necessary natural endow-
ments,' writes Caroline B. LIE Row in
the Ladies' Home journal. ''Of course,
the ability to teach implies the possession
Of an education, though no amount of
education alone can make good teacher
While all teachers must know more than
they teach, the power to impart to others
is the important matter, and the one in
which tact Or ingenuity is absolutely the
prime requisite. Moreover, she should
be personally social, intellectual and
moral force in the community. The
physician and the clergyman have i'm
mense opportunities for this uplifting OF
humanity, yet their advantages are small
when compared with those Of the teacher,
which are practically unlimited. En-
enlargement and satisfaction in this field
of labor never can be dependent upon
results, for it is seldom that the teacher
is permitted to know what the years
of maturity owe to faithful care of the
youthful days. The teachers time is
always one of seed-sowing, never Of har-
vest"

Iziuuid Manure.

When one is so situated that it is not
feasible to buy concentrated fertilizers
there isnothing better than liquid manure
to take it's place, and i'll many respects
the liquid manure is better than any
other form of plant food. If the weather
is dry commercial fertilizers do not act
at once, while a plant which is given
LIQUID manure gets immediate benefit
from the moisture and the plant food
both.
The writer has been feeding some
melon and cucumber vines nitrate of
soda, and part Of these have been given
liquid manure, and the latter arc making
much the best growth.
Cabbages, caulihower, tomatoes and
vines of all kinds show immediate effects
from liquid manure. Their vigor is in
creased and their fruitfulness greatly
improved.
Any farm produces the material for
liquid manure. Take any old barrel and
fill it with fresh horse manure, packed
down solid. Both heads should be taken
out of the barrel and it should be set on
a sloping platform. Then pour in water
until it begins to leach out ut the bottom,
when it may be caught in trough or
bucket and put around the plants. Half
pint Of this liquid to plant twice a
week will furnish enough plant food to
push It into fine growth and keep it in
Plants that are being fed in this way
should have the soil about them stirred
very often III order to phevent the forma-
ton of a crust and the evaporation of the
moisture in the soil.

an hour. and time cannot be put to q
