Bushes In the Pastures.

In most pastures Is found more or
less bush growth. As the pastures be-
come older the bushes increase in va
riety and number, and In some places
pretty nearly occupy the ground
There are some portions of many pas
lures that 1t would be better to allow
to grow up again to wood. as In time
the timber would be worth very much
more than the land is now. Where
this is not desirable then attention
should be given to cutting or otherwise
destroying the bushes. These have
now made most of their growth for
the season, and when cut Will not Lave
vitality TO start up again to any great
extent this fall; hence the advantage OF
doing this work now. When the prac-
tlce of cutting every year is followed
1t will be found that the growth will
decrease. and iii this way they can be
gradually got rid of. If there are any
bushes. brlars or rank growing weeds
along the fences, in the mea lows or
by the roadside, they should also re.

Straw Is plentiful on most farms and

there will be no danger of smotherlng

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES

Gods Wonderful Works.--.Ps. 4o.1.11.
(Thanksqivinq Service.)

N''e'NoS'N'H9 ocFNiCc.I
Our trust in God is not complete
until we cause others to trust. nor
our praise until we cause others to
praise.
a man is blessed in proportion as
he does not trust in what Is not
trustworthy, and does trust In Him
who is worthy OF confidence.
Our blessings from God cannot be
numbered, but God likes to have us
try to number them, and the enum.
Grafton does us good.
God evidently delights to serve His
children; shall not His children de.
light to serve their God?
Suggestions.
Nothing that God does for us but
lis wonderful and the more we under.
stand 1t, the more wonderful II
seems.
1t is mans duty to learn all he
can about Gods creation, because thus
he learns more about God.
The worshipping spirit sees God
everywhere, and adores the Almighty
In the gift of slice of bread as IL
1t were a golden crown.
No thoughts of praise are long
without words of praise.
Good Books.
Our societies have mission in the
matter of reading. In what better
way can we influence lives than by
setting our members to reading good
books?
Where public library is accessible.
appoint library committee whose
members will each week speak in the
society about some noble book to be
found in the library.
Set up bulletin board. on which
the good-literature committee will
post notices of the brightest books
and magazine articles accessible to
the Endeavorers.
Where there is no library. organize
book club or society library. You
could make no better beginning than
with noble biographies of Christian
heroes.
Get the members OF the society to
agree to read an average OF half an
hour day, and offer prize for the
best list of books so read in the
course of year.
Call at some social for lists of
books read during the year, each En-.

Tank For Dipping Sheen.

There are several plans for making
a tank in which to dip sheep and If
one has a flock of considerable size it
is wise to obtain some of the plans that
are offered by manufacturers. If. how
ever, the flock is not large, a home
made affair is easily built and at COM
paratively small cost. A tank of this
kind is made as follows: A convenient
size is ten feet long, four feet wide and
two and one half feet deep. 1t should
be made SO that the tank containing
the dip is reached by Slated walk
way leading down to it, and another
Slated walk leading up to the landing
from which they go down into the

We speak OF the little red mites. but
that is the color worn by the mite only
after 1t has feasted on the blood of the
fowl. The natural color of the mite
is gray. Mites are exceedingly vora-
cious and are able TO extract very
large amount of blood from fowl dur
ing single night. Thousands of these
mites may cover q single hen and the
aggregate amount of blood taken is so
large that the fowls frequently die
from loss of blood. This is especially
the case with setting hens. Often sit
ting hens when nightly attacked by
these vampires forsake their nests and
take TO the roosts for protection. At
this time of year relentless warfare
should be waged against them.

The Society of the Sons of the Reyolu-
ton in the District of Columbia is a
divided house.
One faction il the organization is at
bitter odds with another.
The president, vice president, and sec
rotary resigned their offices two weeks
ago, and. If advance predictions count
for aught, the meeting, which. is to be
held tonight in the lecture hall of the
George Washington University, will be
a stormy one.
The ostensibIe purpose of the session
is to cement the almost disrupted So
ciety into a perfect whole once more
and bring back the faction, who. though
not severing relations by actual word of
mouth, yet remain away from meeting
after meeting.

YOUNG NEGROES ANXIOUS
ABOUT PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS

The advent of the $500 members of the
Pennsylvania National Guard, who will
arrive in Washington on the night Of
March 3, is looked forward to with
mixed feelings by the youthful negro
population of the city, They want TO see
the Pennsyivanians, and yet they have
distinct recollectiens. many of them, of
certain pranks that the men from the
Keystone State are in the habit OF in
dulging IN.
Tossing in blankets. riding on rails,
and general rough handling are in the
regular line of treatment the Pennsyl-
vanians usually hand out to the small
negroes when not engaged i'll Darading
up and down Pennsylvania avenue.
The most harmless and at the same
time the most amusing joke in the Penn
sylyanians repertoire is the fake cannon
cracker trick. Waiting until he sees a
small bootbIack down on his knees
shining mans shoes, the soldier SHES
a big cannon cracker in front of him.
The boy jumps forty feet, upSetting his
backing box and, Frequently. his Gus
toner as well.
When he takes a second look he finds
that the soldier has pi eked UP the sup
posed cannon cracker. which is only a
piece of wood wrapped tightly in red
paper, and has gone in search Of another
victim.
