Giaf Of Many Sefm OnD.

Gist Of Many Sermons.
Consider the standards and tests of
manhood. Many men misjudge them
selves. because they use false tests.
The warning is, let no man think Of
himself more highly than he ought
to think. This does not mean that
men are to depreciate themselves.
Humility is one thing; self-deprecia-
ton is another. Power begins with
self-reliance; conscience is one Of
Gods under agents, and an honest,
just pride is another. In measuring
our manhood we must balance the evil
over against the good. We are what
we are on the average; if we are Gods
children we shall be what we are at
our best. only more.-Rev. DR.. Hills.
If there were men who had never
been awake during the day and had
never once seen the sun or telt its
warmth, and if these men had come to
doubt even the existence of the sun,
their doubt and every trace of their
agnosticism would be instantly re-
moved were they to come out but once
under the sky in which the sun was
shining. In like manner all c oabt and
agnositicism with reference to God
is instantly removed by coming into
Gods light.-Rev. w. S. Fulton.
A brilliant agnostic has said: "We
are known by the things at which we

The time has come when the press and

The Lesson from Jonah.


Speaking on the topic "Jeho-
vah's JONAH DR.. William B. Leach
said: "Jonah is as real, in my think
ing, as God is. My Bible is ali or
none. I want no emasculated Bible,
but one as strong as God Himself.
People reject the not perceiyable in
the Bible. The Holy Ghost opens up
every dark saying.
1.-THE so-called liberals of to-day
are too bigoted, too narrow. Liberal
is misnomer. The broad-minded
man is the one who thinks Gods
thoughts and is as brave as He. This
tragedy I present to you of man
fleeing from Gods voice has lessons
for us. I believe as Christ did the
account here given. No myth to me,
no legend. 1t is Gods truth for God S
purpose. The world is full of the un-
explainable. All things outside OF
mans works are miracles. Why doubt
this?
"The lesson of Jonah going to a
city as large as Chicago and as wick
ed in the oiden days and preaching
such doctrines appalls us. Every
thing about the account is thrilling.
Here is the command-the refusal,
the fight, the punishment.
Drowned? No. God takes care
of his chastised children. How? A
great fish cares for Jonah and is his
floating palace for three days. Mark
YOU, God the omnipotent does it.
s'Look around you now and you will
see Jonahs in church society every
where. Do we do the thing God
COM ands? Answer no. l am here

torical character into your life as
warning to you. Escape God!
Never. You may hide, run, steal, lie,
swear, shirk, grow careless, but Gods
eye is on you.

Brahmas With Featherless Feet

The Gran ge Judd Farmer is author itv for saying that several years ago an Illinois breeder made an effort to breed Light Bramas with clean feet and legs. "He selected birds of abso- lutely pure breeding and chose those having the least foot and leg feathers. Each year he picked out the cleanest legged descendants and bred from them. In this way he has secured q strain with practically clean legs and feet. In all other points the strain is true to the typical Light Brahma. !"
 Here is an example worthy of imi- tation by the poultry breeders of South ern California. By persistent select ion they may develop characteristics in any breed of fowls which they may regard as an improvement.
 Unlike the Herald, the Orange Judd Farmer did not give the name of the Illinois breeder, and so this fact is mentioned to save readers the time and stamps they would use in asking the editor of this departmenG to write and give them the name of this Illi- nois gentleman. The Herald aims to give all the facts in its possession on subjects discussed in these agricultual columns, and it is useless to write to the editors for private information, as many readers do.-L. A. Herald.

Georgia a Factor in Peach Market

The News of Summerville, Ga., re- gently issued a special fruit edition. Among other things it says: It is the fruit growing industry, however, that is the all-absorbing interest here just now, and as fruit-growing center Summerville stands in the front ranks. There are now in Chattanooga county 600, ,000 peach trees. During the next four years this number will be in crease to 100000. This will mean 200O cars of peaches to be shipped each year. This county is destined to be- come the greatest fruit growing coun- ty in the State. The soil, climate, etc.. are especially adapted to the grow ing of peaches, strawberries and small fruits generally and the cheap freight rates and splendid shipping facilities render Summerville an admirable place for the extensive growth of fruit and it is indeed an interesting pageant to behold acres after acres of land, both hillside and level, devoted to the es- pecial culture of the peach and straw berry.

Economics for Framers-Rules for the Dairy-Brahmas With featherless Feet Georgia Factor in Peach Market- A Last years Story
Economics for Farmers

The agricultural editor of the San Francisco Chronicle energetically de- clares that the bright young man who, to an ordinary agricultural course, shall add the training of good stiff course in economics, with some read ing in sociology, and who is himself the product of the farm and thus ia miliar with rural conditions and neces- ities, has fair chance to reap the re- ward of the pioneer in a worldwide movement
 He says that with the changed con- ditions now the order of the day. the farmer should learn to consider him self as necessarily at the mercy of other classes of society, but at the same time that he can escape that con- dition only by vigorous cooperative action based on wide and accurate in formation and governed by common sense."
 But a study of economical conditions
 
 has become a vital mater, and mo subject ever presented at a farmers institute secures more earnest and thoughtful attention from those pres ent than the discussion of economic conditions and principles.
 At present economics is no part of the course of agricultural education as laid down by our universities, and it is very much to their discredit. It is not even included in the literature so freely distributed by the department of agriculture. But the world do move" and some time we shall learn the value of this as well as other things"

A Last Years Apricot Story

Over in the San Joaquin Valley, near Armona in Kings county, MT. Knapp has 136 Hilton seeding apricot trees, raised by himself, now six years old, which have borne heavy crops for three years, while his Royal apricot orchard, separated from the Tiltons by six rows of peach trees, has failed to produce crop. Some of his Tilton trees have yielded this year thirty eight boxes of thirty pounds each, or little over half a ton, according to the Hanford Sentinel, and the state ment is copied with approval by the California Fruit Grower Reckoning 10S trees to the acre, t this rate one hundred of them would produce fifty two tons, worth over thousand dol lars at cent pound. Evidently some one has blundered.
