been able to observe, the hogs like the
grass every bit as we'll and do every

There is no doubt about alfalfa having
its place on the farm, but every year,

The Quarterly Review.
The Kings-The quarters lessons
have taken us over about so years of
the history Of Judah and Israel. Three
lessons have been devoted to the kings
of Judah-Reh oboam, Asa and Jehosa-
phat-and nine to the kingdom of Is
rael. Following the splendid reign Of
David and the magnificent reign Of
David's son, Solomon. Rehoaboam, the
latter's son, came to the throne, and 1t
was his pride and impolitic conduct
which alienated the ten tribes from
Judah, the ruling house. Jereboam,
the son Of Nebat, became king over the
northern kingdom and Rehoboam con-
dnued as king over Judah and part
of the tribe Of Benjamin.

The following diagram gives the kings
Of the two Kingdoms the length Of their
respective reigns and the prophets who
served in judah and Israel. Note the

shortness of their reigns as compared

Maker of Black Loan He
Has No Rival.

have visited nearly every state and
province west of the Mississippi,
have availed myself of the researches
of the agricultural department made
under Dr. c. Hart Merriam's careful
biological survey Of the west, indeed,
of all sources of information, and | am
satisfied that the ordinary earthworms
are not native to any part of America
south Of the Saskatchewan or west of
the Mississippi valley, exclusive Of
the narrow humid belt along the Pa
ciflc coast.
There exists. nevertheless, fine
stratum Of humus in all parts Of the
country where there Is moisture
enough to produce annual vegetation.
The black earth in Manitoba is one
foot to two feet thick, an amount
probably not exceeded over any large
area elsewhere in the world This is
not a solid bed of deoayed vegetation,
but is thoroughly mixed with the up
per formation, and forms the black
loan.
There is no doubt, then, that in the
absence of earthworms this mixing is
done by a number OF species of bur-
rowing animals. but by far the most
important Of these are the Geomydaa,
or pocket-gophers.
Gophers are found in the whole of
the region west Of the Mississippi val
ley, as far as the Pacific coast, south
well into Mexico. and north as far as
the Saskatchewan. In other words,
their distribution is general over the
whole region that is without earth
worms, though 1t is not likely that the
rodents had to do with this Limitation

POULTRY FOR THE FARMER.
He Should Select Useful Fowls Only
and Gull Them Carefully
from Year to Year.

Most farmers are not fanciers and do
not breed fowls to sell for breeders to
others. Only now and then do we find
farmer that cares to handle a fancy
breed because of the plumage, or of the
ornament they may be to his lawn.
Most farmers want the most useful
fowl that can be found The farmer
in breeding should keep this point in
mind and should not permit himself
to be persuaded to take up with some
high-priced breed of chiefly fancy
points. II farmer wants fowl that
he can show and take a prize on let
him remember that he can do it Just
as well with common breeds, provided
they are pure. as with some fancy
the question Of shows. the farmer
should breed for some utility point
alone. Say 1t is egg production. Let
him lose sight of all showing and work
to produce egg layers. Let him select
continually the best layers for pro.
ducers. According to the testimony Of
showmen he will have to say good-by
to his hope for prizes. A noted exhibi.
tor Of birds declares that egg laying
gets bird SO out of shape that she
stands no chance whatever in a show.
Yet these are the kind of birds the
farmer wants. The most profitable egg
producing focks in the country have
been selected in this way and they are
not purchasable, as their owners can
make more out Of them in egg produc.
ing than In selling them for breeders.
With all such fiocks the question Of
selection is large one. Culling must
be carried on from year to year, and
that, too, reientlessly. Farmers Re.

The Lessons. of the six kings con-
sidered in the lessons two were good
and four were bad, but even the good
kings made grave mistakes which God
did not fail to record for our instruc-
tion and warning. Note that the gen.
eral tendency in the two Kingdoms Is
downward, toward the ultimate ruin
which engulfed first Israel and then
Judah. The events Of the lessons natu-
rally group themselves around the
kings of judah and Israel and the
prophet Elijah. For this reason the
review may well be made character
study. Note how the character of the
kings determine largely the char
acter Of the nation; good kings bring
ing about wholesome reforms and bad
kings causing great moral and rsligi-
Gus decline. The lessons are full Of
God, of His mercy, patience and judg-
ment on sin: of SIN, its beginnings, its
progress, its ultimate ruin and death; /;
of prayer, its importance, the character
of true prayer, its power and the ne
cessity of prayer.
