Weeds Rich in Nitrogen.

The common chickweed and pigweed,
that start up in gardens in midsummer
and make remarkable growth within a
short time, are both weeds that rank
very high in heterogeneous compounds.
Not even second growth clover will fur

Hogs and cows are extremely fond Of
both and will eat them greedily. They
are excellent not only for breeding
sows, but for hogs that are being fed

Turnips Among Potatoes.

We have always found that turnips
sown broadcast among potatoes sue
ceeded better than among corn. The
leaves of the potato die down earlier
than those of corn, and the roots cease
to draw from the soil the moisture that
the turnip needs. OF course, the pota-
toes must be dug by hand but this
helps the turnips by the stirring Of the
soil about them and by the destruction
of the weeds that hinder their growth.

The Passing OF the Revlvalist.

The old fashioned religious revival is a
thing of the past The people of our coun-
try today who are still young will have
none of it. A change has come upon the
world touching the ideals, hopes, the very
characters of young men and women, fit
ting them to hear unmoved the old gospel,
to listen with curiosity and critical won
der to the fervid oratory and exhortation
of the professional revivalist. The Rev
Benjamin Fay Mills was young enough to
be caught in this modern current, and 1t
has carried him outward to the sea Of uni
versal religion,
Mr.. Moody breaches with all his old
vigor, and his reputation and tact as IN
organizer still give him great audiences,
but the old power is gone. Is is the church
members and elderly people who delight
to hear him. The young people are off
bicycling, or they listen critically, I'M
moved. Even if they decide to join a
church during revival they do so in a
deliberate, matter of fact way that former
ly would have sug gosted doubts as to the
genuinencss of their conversion.
