JOHN WESLEY'S INFLUENCE.
Immense Personal Power Used with
Esn1ar w;ad a.. ard I.iharnIifx

Immense Personal Power Used with,
singular Wisdom and Libera1ity.
Even upon the manners Of the Eng
fish people no man of his century had
so much influence. 1t was peculiarly
fortunate that the leader Of a great
popular movement united with intense
religious earnestness the tastes Of the
scholar and the instincts of the gentle
man. He never felt it necessary to
vulgarize his teaching or to make any
concessions to coarseness. In his spot
less linen, his cassock, his black hose
and silver shoe-buckles, he was a
model Of scrupulous precision in per-
sonal attire; and his oft-quoted say
ing, 'Clenaliness is next to goliness."
well expresses the almost fastidious
habit of the man. His dignifed, yet
gentle courtesy, his refined self-posses-
sion, made his very presence an exam
pie and an inspiration.
And it should be said that Wesley
used his immense personal influence
with singular wisdom and liberality.
He had in his hands control of the
whole system of Methodist discipline;
but he did not attempt to bind the
members of his societies by narrow or
rigid rules, still less to impose upon
them arbitrarily his own judgments.
He was anxious only that Methodists
should be good Christians. On doubt
full matters he did not prescribe OF pro-
hibit, but left the decision III such
cases where it belongs-with the indi-
vidual conscience In an admirable

Hungarian Miliet.

In sections where the hay crop 10
short, one of the best and quickest
catch crops is Hungarian millet. The
seed is comparatively cheap, ranging
from 81 to $2.2 bushel, and the crop
does well on any good soil. In many
localities farmers make good bust
ness of sowing Hungarian miliet for
hay crop on any ground from which
crop can be taken by the middle of
August. If the crop was cultivated
one. but little preparation of the soil
is necessary. Shallow piowing and a
thorough narrowing will probably be
sufficient in most cases. 1t is gener-
ally considered thai this millet crop is
worth all it costs to get 1t, and it is
particularly valuable for cattle, or the
grain may be saved and fed to poultry

Then it may be gained by a collar of

Not only does this slope appear in
fancy waists and gowns for evening and
house wear, but it is carried out in wraps
and coats for street wear. Fringes are
used a deal to obtain the droop, and by
their use it is possible to lengthen the
lines considerably. Much care is neces-
sary in the carriage Of the arms, and the
tendency of fashionables next wineer will
be to incline the arms forward.
In one sense sleeves are an easy mat
ter. They're in great variety, so all
can be suited with stylish sorts. In tbs
matter of making, however, many are
difficult. Sleeves of dressy waists are
as large as they have been, and a large
proportion of them have most of their
fullness just above the wrist cuffs. The
long droop to the puff is desirable, and
some of this style show a deal of firm
ness in the puff so that it stands out

when two colors are used in the gown
the upper part of the sleeve will be OF
one color and the lower portion of the

are very pretty. Variety can be had in
them by putting white silk or nainsoob

there is much variety in the cut OF

ing winter oats, particularly in warm
localities, for the season of growth is
during the cool portion of the fall and
spring, so that they I'LL well, while the
spring-sown oats succumb to the warm
summers. In growing winter oats the
seeding should be done early In Sep
TENDER and on good soil 1t is true
that oats will do well on less fertilizing
than wheat, but, on the other hand,
they pay well for good fertilizing.
By sowing at the time specified they
will get a good start and cover the
ground sufficient to protect the roots
during the winter. In the spring they
may be late in starting up, but they
will come unless the winter has been
sufficiently severe to kill them out
completely. The plan is well worth
trying, at least on a small area.

Farm Notes.

Every farm should have a separate
building where sick animals can re-
ceive special care and attention.
A real live farmer does not keep
from making mistakes. but he does
not keep ON making the same mis-
take.
On thin land deep cultivation will
have a tendency. to shorten the yield.
On deep, rich, loamy soil the cultiva-
ton may be deeper.
Potatoes should never be marketed
unless assorted. Uniformity of size
and appearance will benefit both the
buyer and the seller. 1t is the small
potatoes that injure sales and return
low prices.
Pigeons will thrive on a variety,
grains and grass seeds of all kinds be-
ing suitable, hemp and rape seeds be-
ing also acceptable. a sailed fish
should hang where the birds can have
access thereto. and ground oyster
shells, gravel, pure water, etc. should
be provided If they are confined.
If you want something choice for
yourself and not for market grow the
Emerald Gem muskmelon and the
EIeekley watermelon. There are other
good varieties, used mostly on account
Of their excellent shipping qualities,
but no varieties can compare with
those mentioned for home use, as they
excel all others in quality.
This nation is decreasing in popu-
lation faster than it is in meat pro-
duction. II the fifty years from 1850

dairy cattle, 2.6S; swine, 2.07; sheep,
1.S3. Considering these figures IN con-

Varietic, Of winter Wheat.

Three varieties of winter wheat were
distributed throughout Ontario in the
autumn of 1902 for cooperative expert
ments. Good reports of successfully
conducted experiments have been re-
ceived this year from eighteen coun-
ties, | extending from Essex in the
south to Halliburton in the Dorth. The
following is the average yield in
weighed bushels of grain per acre for
each variety for five years at the col
lege, and for 1908 throughout Ontario:
Imperial Amber, 249 bushels; Buda
Pesth, 21.4 bushels; Turkey Red, 20.7
bushels. All three varieties are beard
ed The chaff of the Imperial Amber
is red and that of the others is white.
The grain Of each variety Is red, hard
and recommended for the production
of -four of good quality. All three va
rieties are rather weak in the straw.
The Imperial Amber is n close rival
to the Dawson's Golden Chaff in yield
of grain per acre. The variety last
named seems most productive of all,
but the grain is soft.
