THE NEW TESTAMENT 5aIN MOD
ERIN AlIusion has been made
in this column once or twice recently to
The Twentieth Century New Testament,
translation Of the New Testament into
modern English, for those who would
rather have it so than in the English of
| 300 years ago, or would like both. To
many the old dfction is cherished
| beauty, but to others the new translation
| will add to the force Of the great mes
| sage the book holds. and give it new
| hold upon their lives. 3 It was in hope OF
| this that the translators did their work,
as they themselves say, in the preface, in
the authorized edition of their work
which recently came to our hands. Some
idea of the differences between the old
and the new translation may be gathered
| from the following, the new translation
of the Lords prayer: 70
Our Father who art in heaven,
| May thy name be held holy,
| Thy kingdom come,
| Thy will be done, LII
| On earth as in heaven. = :
Give us today the bread that we shall need
And forgive us our wrongdoings
AS we have forgiven those who have
| Z, wronged US: '
And take US not into temptation,
! But deliver from evil.
| The arrangement Of the books is no
/ the same as in former translations, Mark
/ for example, being placed first. The para.
/ graphing is also changed, but the ole
numbering is retained, so that passage!
may easily be found by the use Of tn,
Well-known system. ..
/ The above will give an idea Of onl,
some of the most obvious changes.

SHEEP AND COWS.

A reader has half a section Of cut off
timber land in Minnesota and wants
to know what kind Of stock to put on
it, the care Of such stock to be LETT to
a tenant. If the land is dry enough
and the tenant could give them proper
care and the price We're not so high, as
at present, it is probable that flock
of sheep would be the most profitable.
for we understand that the soil up
there is specially adapted to grass, and
this land pastured with sheep would
be sooner reclaimed fit for the pillow
by them than with any other kind Of
stock, save goats. Cows would pay
we'll if they had proper care and a
market was available for their product.
The trouble is to get man who will
give stock Of any sort the required
care and attention.

A WALNUT GROVE.

A friend who has planted a large
grove Of black walnuts, starting the
trees from the nuts, wishes to know If
it would be better to cultivate the lit
tie trees or let them have the shade Of
the weeds and grass. 1t would GER
tainly be best to keep these trees well
cultivated and free from weeds. AS
his trees are planted twelve feet apart
each way, it would have been well to
have planted two rows Of corn be-
tween each row Of trees. In the plant
ing and starting of all kinds of tree
life on prairie soils it is absolutely nee
essary to give them the best of cultiva-
ton for few years. Even the hardy
willow will not do we'll in sod. In this
connection another friend wants to
know how many years it takes from
the planting Of the nut of the black
walnut until the tree begins to bear
This will depend upon the soil, mois-
ture available and cultivation. If con-
ditions are all favorable it will require
about fifteen years.

was cut off as quickly, and, paralyzed
by terror, she felt herself engulfed in
strong arms and smothered into silence.
1t all happened SO quickly that there
was no chance to give the alarm, no op.
portunity to resist.
Brewster felt himself lifted bodily.

falling. He struck something forcibly
with all his weight and fell back with
q crash to the deck. Afterward he
found that the effort to throw him

assailants in their haste had hurled
him against an unseen stanchion.
Peggy was borne forward and low

her roughly upon something hard.
There was jerky, rocking motion,
the sudden splash of oars, and then
she knew no more.

assurance. How they crept up to the

CROP ROTATION.

Most men know that some sort Of
rotation is good for the land and the
crops, and only the few will follow
wheat with wheat, corn with corn and
the like, but this is not the sort Of ro-
tation which insures the best results. A
sensible rotation will cover four or five
years, during which time the land will
have the rest and renovation connected
with the use of clover crop and as
pasture for one year. 1t does not help
the land any to have corn, oats, barley,
follow each other year after year. Such
crops all take fertility from the soil
and put nothing back. Thirty years Of
this sort Of rotation on even the best
soil wears it out, and the available
plant food used by these crops be-
comes exhausted. Here is a good rota-
ton for all the good prairie soils of the
northwest, and it will apply on the
poorer lands Of the east as well: First,
corn, then wheat, barley or oats, this
crop seeded down with clover; next
year, clover hay and the blowing I'M
der Of the second crop; then corn
again. This system Of rotation will
make the land better every year. Tim
othy may be sown with the clover and
an extra year Of pasture got in on the
foregoing rotation with much advan.
tage, putting the available manure on
this pasture. Good crops, we might
say big ones, follow this sort Of land
treatment.

NEW ENGLAND FARMS.

We have recently received an illus.
trated catalogue descriptive Of large
number Of New England farms which
are for sale. The surprising thing
,, about them all is the extremely low
price at which they can be bought
Half tone pictures Of the buildings and
improvements on these farms show
them to be frst class, far better than
are found upon the average well kept
western farm. There are usually a good
orchard, spring water piped to both
house and barns, rural mail, tele-
phones, good roads and the very best.
of markets close by, and yet these
farms are offered for sale at prices as
low as from $40 to $50 per acre. The
explanation Of this strange state of
things is found in the statement en-
bodied in some Of the descriptions,
"One hundred and fifty-five acres will
keep eight head of stock" This means
that the soil Is very, very poor-poorer
than the sagebrush deserts Of the west,
where a steer to ten acres is the rule.
Still we cannot help believing that
there must be chance for the man
with little capital on these places after
all. Grant that the land is woeful-
ly impoverished, science and patience
can restore part Of it anyway. Then
there are poultry, fruit and garden
truck. which can be made profitable,
and, IL nothing else, there is the goat,
which would soon clean up the brush
and weeds and assist in securing a
stand Of grass. Through much Of the
west there is the soil and but little
else. There in the east there is every
thing else but soil.

D1vERsIF1ED FAR,IIyc.

1t is not often that the three factors
of big crop, good weather to secure it
and big prices for it are in injunction.
The last time when this occurred in
the writer's experience was in the year
1877, when wheat yielded up to forty
bushels an acre, with a California har-
vest season to care for 1t and 80 cents
a bushel for it as soon as thrashed.
Money was plentiful that fall, and the
price Of land went kiting. 1t was the
last good crop Of wheat ever raised in
that section. Next year and the year
after thousands of acres of wheat were
burned up in the fields, not being
worth harvesting. The farmers all
stuck to wheat until they became
bankrupt and then turned to the COW
and the hog and have now made them
selves wealthy.

One trouble is that when man finds
himself the owner Of u specially fine
brood mare or SOW he is quite likely
to be tempted to sell it at the extra
price others are. willing to pay, when
his best interests would be conserved
BY refusing to put a price on such an
animal. We recall the case of a man
who realized an income Of $3.50 q year
for fifteen years from brood mare
which he owned. Inasmuch as the
work done by this mare far more than
paid for her keep, it is easy to see that
it was difficult to place high enough
value upon her.
