How to GROW pumnkin..

Pumpkins are usually grown In, the
corn field, under the supposition that Il
Is economical to grow them In that
manner, but the land does not respond
to two crops as favorably as to one. The
proper way to grow pumpkins is to pre-
pare a piece of ground for them and
grow them as a special crop, apart from
corn. They can then be better culti-
waited and will produce greater weight
than when grown in the corn field. AS
a food In winter In connection with
grain, pumpkins are excellent, especial
ly for cattle.

Feeding Crops Mt Home.

Edward Atkinson has advised the
farmers to compress their cornstalks
into bales for market as they do their
hay. A writer in the New York Trib-
une suggests that they had better COM
press their hay, stalks and grain into
milk and market them in that form.
But cannot that be improved upon?
Why not compress the milk into butter
and cheese, and the balance of the fod-
der and grain into beef, pork and NUT
ton. or good well-trained young horses 7?
Then they would be selling less Of the
fertility of the farm, and more of their
labor and skill, and paying less tribute
to the railroads and other Transports
ton companies. When 1t takes the price
of a bushel of grain or Of two bushels
as 1t did few years ago to pay for
carrying another bushel to the con-
sumer or when the farmer can get for
his hay but one-half what the consumer
has to pay, he should look about TO see
how he can compress his products into
packages of less weight and bulk, that
he may receive more of the proceeds for
II. and the railroads less. And when he
finds that of every dollar he receives for
products one-balf must go to restore
to the soil that which the crop has taken
from II. he should look to see IL he can
not manage to retain at home some Of
the nitrogen, potash and phosphoric
acid that he is sending away, and which
he replaces from ,he mines Of Chile,
Germany and South Carolina.

A passenger rate war has begun which
threatens to become the greatest ever

the ground. This kind of house is In
use on several large poultry farms dur
ing the winters.
Cow Peas.


Cow peas may stand until the first
pods get full grown, but not ripe. This
is especially necessary If they are to be
fed to young stock of any kind. At this
stage they have the bone, muscle, hair
and wool elements In them, and not too
much fat. We wish we could impress
feeders that fatty foods like corn and
beans and peas when ripe are positively
hurtful to growing stock. A little corn
or fat-making feed is needed in cold
weather to keep up animal heat Hun
dreds of thousands of pigs, colts and
young cattle are annually stunted and
dwarfed by a food where the fat Is out
of all proportion to the bone and muscle
making part of the feed.
The margin Is so small now we must
look into these details, the observance
or neglect of which may turn the scales
to a failure instead Of a success. To ex-
press it another way, growing animals
must have a protein feed, and fattening
animals food rich in fats. TO those who
want TO feed fattening stock, mich cows,
brood sows and breeding ewes let beans
and peas get to that stage we call fod-
der Let the seeds get into hard
dough. At this stage pea pods will be-
gin to turn yellow and dead leaves at
the base of the stem turn yellow. The
beans must be thoroughly field cured
and the seeds get dry and hard, for the
reason that in 100 pounds of soy bean
seed there is only a small fraction less
than seventeen pounds Of oil or fatty
matter. If they are bulked damp they
will heat and mold. Peas are not so
rich in fat and will stand bulking
sooner.
Cut with moving machine for hay.
Peas are hard to pitch Off the wagon.
We take a hay knife and cut the load
the long way, and cross cut 1t two or
three times, when they are as easily
handled as common hay.-Farmer's
Advocate.

"The Sun Of righteousness with healing
in his wings" there is to be glorious
sunrise for those who fear Jehovah. 1t
is natural and usual to make this phrase
mere name for Jesus Christ, hence to
spell sun with capital. The masculine
adjective "his' has nothing to do with
the case as some might suppose-''its"
was not i'm use in 1912. Prof. c.. r..
Brown, in the Biblical World, denies that
this passage and the preceding chapter
are directly Messianic, that Is, that they
constitute direct prediction Of Christ. The
.'sun of righteousness" according to that
view, Is no less divine, no less healing;
only 1t is a promise for the Jews of Nal
achis time as well as for other Cod
fearing people Of later ages.
II will send Elijah the prophet" that
is, will send another prophet like Elijah,
a prophet Of warning, preparatory to the
inevitable day of reckoning which Is to
come. 1t is well known that John the
Baptist came to do just this work, and
that he was spoken of as the prophet
promised in Malachi. The Jews, however,
many of them actually expected Elijah
himself to return in the flesh.
"He shall turn the heart of the fathers
to the children, and the heart Of the chill
dren to their fathers: all alike shall be
brought together in their common yearn-

only is the family truly united-in the
love and service of God. And only when
the family is thus preserved and sancti-
fed will society be safe from a terrible
and blasting curse-z-the curse of loveless-
ness and lawlessness. 49,,
