. AGRICULTURAL !.



Satisfy and parsnips should be plant
ed on q deep, rich toll. A fertile. nght,
ioamy soil. when supplied with water
holding humus, is the best. When the
SOIL Is not deep, it is better to bed up IN
rows. But this renders the plants more
dlh1cult to work, and enables the mols-
ture to escape more readily. Where
drouths are common this is a serious
consideration.
Flowing under well rotted manure
TO an Increasing depth will soon pro-
duce a rich, spongy soil capable OF
growing anything you wish to plant
and this should be the condition of the
garden. Half rotted manure should not
be applied to these root crops. 1t has
a tendency to cause their branching,
which Is, Of course, very undesirable.
Parsnip seed should be planted very
early In southern ATTITUDES that the
ground may remain damp until the
seed, which are very slow to germi-
nate, come up. Some of the gardeners
place the seed in a bag and put them
In the ground or some damp place until
nearly ready to sprout.
An excellent way to insure a stand
OF parsnip or other plants, when grown
on a small scale, is to mulch the sur
face, after planting, with fine manure.
This mulch will serve many purposes.
1t will furnish plant food for the young
plants before they have been supplied
with many feeding roots. It will also
keep the soil light and damp, and will
prevent the escape Of moisture.
In family gardens where the ground
remains frozen, parsnips and satisfy
had best be left where grown until
wanted for use. Frost will not injure
them.-Albert D. Warner, in New York
Tribune Farmer.

A He,p in

Happy is the man who has made God
his refuge and strength. No real harm can
ever overtake him. He has a refuge to
which he can flee in every hour of tempta-
ton or trial and sorrow, a refuge never fali-
ing. No matter what the peril, or what
the grief, he flies to God and all is calm
and rest. God is sufficient for anything
that can arise. And our refuge Is always
near at hand, a very present help IN
trouble. The Israelite had often to nee a
long way to his city of refuge, but ours IS
always close at hand; in a moment we are
there. Happy also is the man who can say,
"God is my strength" If He is indeed our
strength we shall win every battle that we
fight. Our enemies may be too strong Tor
MS. but they are not too strong for HIM.
There is nothing too hard for the Lord
so there is nothing too hard for US, If be
is our strength. The trouble Is that we
saw that He is our strength while all the
time we are trusting IN our W strength
IF He is our refuge and strength, not only
in word and in tongue, but in deed and IN
truth. then we shah never fear under any
circumstances, not even though the earth
be removed, and though the mountains be
carried into the midst OF the sea.

rhree-storx House.

Every man lives in a three-story house.
The lower story Is part under ground
There he eats and drinks. This Is his ply
steal nature. Many men never leave this
basement. There they live, there they die,
never entering the stories that he above
The second story lies above the first
From its windows the outlook is wider, the
light is more abundant, and the air purer.
This is mans intellectual department.
Some go up into the second story often,
and, though they do not abandon the base
ment, they use it mostly only for eating.
The third story is the highest.
There the air, the sunlight, the
outlook are at the best. This is
the spiritual realm. Few rise into it. In
many cases dust and cobwebs are the sole
occupants of what should be the choicest
part Of the house. The wise man, while
he does not abandon the basement or the
second story, loves the third the best of
all, and there spends much of his time.
"And the God of peace Himself sanctify
you wholly, and may your spirit, and soul
and body be preserved entire, without
blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Faithful is He that calleth you,
who will also do it."-Dr. Joseph Strong.

Figures Robbed Him of Reason.

William Valance died at the State
Hospital for the Insane in Trenton.
Valance was thirty years old, and had
been known as a mathematical wonder
ever since he was a child. He was able
to solve the most difficult problems in
the shortest time, and the feats per-
formed by lightning calculators were
duplicated by him without difficulty.
He had a mania for figures, and spent
his time studying them. His constant
application to this work finally unbal-
anced his mind, and the other week he
was taken to the asylum. Valance
had a thorough knowledge Of history,
and was considered an authority on
that subject, though his schooling was
limited.

The Decision VIII Have No Effect I
Railroad Enterprise.

h8lIFOdu Gut0rpEises
New York City.-In Wall Street the
decision caused a momentary drop in
prices, but large interests at once gave
support and announced that the case
would be appealed to the Supreme
Court. Leaders of the merger move
ment profess to believe that they will
win there.
In an interview former Attorney
General John w. Griggs,who appeared
for the defendants at st. Louis, de-
clared the Courts decision revolution
airy and pointed out the great effect 1t
would have on deals of similar charac-
ter already established, such as the
Pennsylvania control of Baltimore
and Ohio, the United States Steel Cor
poration's control Of constituent conf
panies, etc.
Mr.. J. P. Morgan said regarding the
decision:
"The question of the right Of two or
more railroads to be operated by a
holding company will be taken to the
United States Supreme Court in Wash.
ington. Instead of looking upon the
decision of the Court as a blow to rail-
road enterprise. I should say that the
reverse is the case. Capital aIl over
the country is anxious to know Its
rights in the matter Of railroad con-
struction and operation. Railroad men
want to know where they stand.
1.-THE decision is just one step closer
to a decision from the United States
Supreme Court which shall be final,
for, even if the Northern Securities
had won, the Governments attorneys
would have probably have appealed.
t4The question was of such impor-
lance that an appeal was assured, not
matter who won. These facts are
plain. Both railroads held by the
Northern Securities Company still ex.
list and are doing a gold business.
when railroad men know exactly
how the law is to be interpreted, they
will probably find good ways to see
that properties are operated econon.
