An Edgecombe subscriber asks
about the reliability of the Tnterna-
tional Stock Feed. We take it that
he refers to the brand which Com
missioner Patterson has just exposed.

HARRY FARMERS TALKS.
CXIX.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
This has been an unusual spring
warm March and a cool wet April.
This has made insects very bad. The
corn crop will be short on account of
the insects killing so much. Some
farmers have planted cotton on their
corn lands. Early planting has given
us success generally, but so much
rain this year prevented early plant.
ing.
One farmer said that if you wish
to get a good stand, plow only just
little bed to plant on, and leave the
middle of the rows unbroken until
the corn gets 10 to y inches high.
This IS not the best way to cultivate
the land easily. But to leave this
green strip covered with weeds and
grass Will no doubt give the insects
something to feed on besides corn.
The early spring has given us ear
ly Irish potatoes and peas. We have
had them as early as the middle of
April, which is two weeks earlier
than the average.
THE RIGHT WAY TO SAVE SEED.
\ ncighbor gave Mary Jane some
garden pea seed. She took special
pains with them, and after her early
peas have been bearing three weeks
the others are forming blossoms over
three feet from the ground. No
doubt these peas have been grown
'"r several years and the last peas
which grow on top have been saved
for seed. Where any one wishes to
save their own seeds they should be
careful to save the first peas that
come or save the whole crop borne
iy The plant. We have saved our
M'Wor or lima beans several years
That way and generally have them

f.Ie will apply to tomatoes, pepper,

Some things none of us can we'll
afford. One is to set poor plants or
trees. Another is to set them on
poorly prepared ground, and another
is to work over them on poor land.

takes just such little things as these
to make the difference between sue
cess and loss.
TREATING SICK HOGS.
Some of our pigs got sick. The
symptoms indicated cholera. The
sick ones were separated from the
others and not allowed any water ex-
cepting some which had about a tea
spoonful of cooking soda (bicarbon-
ate) to the quart of water. The feed
consisted of wheat bran or corn meal
with some liver regulator mixed
with it. They refused to eat any
thing for about two days. After
they commenced eating we gave
them some oats and green food, such
as cabbage leaves. In less than
week they appeared to be all right,
excepting the loss of weight. We
have tried these liver medicines for
hogs with good results before. We
would give the brands used but it
would not be treating the publishers
fair. The manufacturers lose a
great deal by not advertising in the
columns of The Progressive Farmer,
as it reaches thousands of people
that no other paper does in North
Carolina.

on For tho gosne, nulpits. to save the

men for the gospel pulpits, to save the
sinful world.
The second reason for preaching this
sermon Is that | would appeal to those
young men to enter the gospel ministry
who many years ago heard the call
and who have stined It by an indiffer-
ent. wayward life. When my uncle, the
devoted missionary, Rev. John Tai
mage of Annoy, China, was a boy or
twelve he read the life Of David Brain
ord. After closing the book he went 10
nv grandmother and said, Mother, l
am going to be missionary" Time
passed on, and he entered college. lie
lost his high ideal and led an indiiier-
emf life. lie never mentioned the word
minister from that day until toward
the end of his college career. Then the
old pledge came back. Then and there
on the night before his graduation
from Rutger's-college, he gave himself
ND anew to his glorious life promise.
Young men, you swho have heard TINS
call to the Christian ministry years
ago. will you not hear the call now
Will YOU not be brave enough, noOle
enough. Christian enough, to do what
Christ bids you do? The church needs
YOU. Christ calls you Come, offer your
life and consecrate it at the altar OF
Christian ministry.

An ADpeaI to Young Men.

I have preached this sermon, show
ing the joys, the spiritual safeguards
md the infinite usefulness Of the Cos
pel ministry, for two distinct reasons:
The first, there never was a greater
need than at the present time Tor
Young men to enter the gospel pulpit.
A few years ago the capitalist, the
statesman. the merchant prince ana
leading lawyers considered it an honor
TO sit in the aldcrmanic chairs Of our
great cities. Now, for the most part,
these positions are despised by the IN
tellectual and financial leaders and arc
filled with professional politicians ana
men who are weaklngs and often dis
honest Once there was a time when
the greatest honor that could come to
q family was the honor Of son dedl-
eating his life to the gospel ministry.
Now the current of popular opinion
is running counter to this line of noble
service. Our strong young men, in
stead of entering the pulpit, are giving
their lives to law, to merchandise, to
railroads. to electrical sciences. VINO
are to fill the future pulpits of Amer
lea? "Give us men, cry our theolog-
ical professors. Their classes are grow
ing smaller year by year GIVE us
men, cry the churches 1--WE cannot
get the right kind of men for our pull
pits" "Give us men, cry the synodica
missionaries. "The harvest is ripe, but
the laborers are too few" 1t is al
nonsense for some of our religious
writers to declare that the reason oul
theological students are becoming less
and less in number year by year is be
cause we are now getting quality in
stead of quantity. The reason oul
seminaries are becoming depleted il
because the young men who ought Il
enter the ministry refuse to come
