Interest now centers in the meet
ing of the Delaware Legislature in
extraordinary session tomorrow
at the call of Governor Lea to dis
cuss matters of Importance and to
elect a United States Senator to fill
the vacancy. The action Of the
Governor is being commended by
all good Republicans. Having
assurances that the factions want to
get together and elect a Senator
and unity the party under one
name and organization, Governor
Lea could not have refused the op-
portunity. 1t is to be hoped that
the Legislature will get down to
business and that the factions will
unite on a nominee in caucus and
elect without delay. The outlook
is most encouraging for the Re
publican party.

Destroying Weeds.

There are two ways of completely
destroying weeds. One is to let them
nave the opportunity to grow, and. by
frequently cultivating them, turn them
under as fast as they make their ap-
pearance; the other being to crowd
them out by growing some crop that
Will not give the weeds a chance to
grow. No system of cultivation will
Kill all the weeds if a crop is desired
such as corn-for the grass and
weeds will only be kept down so long
as cultivation lasts, especially as corn
is usually laid by at a time when
the weeds are producing seeds, thus es-
tablishing themselves for the succeed
ing year. AS a test of what supposed
clean culture of corn may be, simply
cut down a row of stalks and row
of weeds will remain. AS a single weed
produces thousands of seed, the labor
of destroying the weeds must be re-
peated next season.

Grind the Hay and Stoxer.

Alfalfa meal is a standard commod-
ity on the feed market, vet | see but
little in print as to the results of feed
ing it, but the few dairymen, says L..
w. Lightly in National Stockman,
heard speaking about the experience
they had with it seemed very favor
able. A prominent Pennsylvania dairy
man a few days ago told me he is
about putting in grinding machinery
that will handle the timothy and mixed
hay and reduce them to fine ground,
crushed condition. Who ever tried this
practically? Is there any available in
formation in the experiment station re-
ports? would not like to commit my
self, but it seems to me theoretically
that we could do the rougher part of
the chewing cheaper with gasoline or
alcohol power than with COW power. 1t
has been amply demonstrated that
feeding the COW easily digested feed
saves feed.

mer, when the sun of happiness smiled
ON them, and in the winter, when life
seemed to them dark and dreary-they
beheld the finger of God. Hence the
one could not render them vain and
overbearing and the other could not
dishearten and render them despond-
ent and downcast.
For everything that emanates from
Him has been calculated for mans
welfare"
These holy men of old firmly be-
lieved that all natural phenomena,
summer and winter, have their origin
from and their existence in Him.
Hence they never shirked their duties,
neither amidst the torrid heat of sum-
mer, nor amidst the freezing cold of
winter. Patriarch Jacob therefore,
whose vocation in his younger days
was that of a shepherd, tells how con-
scientiously he kept Laban's sheep,
saying ''in the day the heat consumed
me and the frost by night and my
sleep departed from my eyes"
firm and childlike confidence and
faith in the fact that all the works Of
nature have been formed and ordained
so wisely and so beautifully by the AL
mighty is of incalculable good. 1t is
elevating, edifying, encouraging and
idealizing. True religion and such a
faith are inseparably united. One
without the other is worthless and in
effective.
Had not the psalmist been imbued
with such a faith he could never have
enriched the world with his sacred
psalms and sweet hymns. Had not the
divine men and prophets Of old been
animated with such a faith they would
have been unable to pour forth the sub
lime emotions and holy effusions which
have been transmitted to mankind
through the medium of His holy scrip
lures.
How much improved would mankind
be collectively and individually if they
adopted and fostered the psalmists
faith. at is Thou who has set up ali
the boundaries of the earth, summer
and winter-Thou Thyself hast formed
them"
Since the all-wise Creator has called
into existence the universe and all
things therein, and since He in His
endless grace sustains and upholds all
His handiwork, it would be unreason,
able to assert that man, the best work
manship of the Creator, is left uncared
for and exposed to the FRANKS of blind
chance We should, therefore, implant
in our hearts the faith Of the psalm
ist We should never forget that we
stand under Gods providence, which
guides our steps and directs our path.
Then we shall surely be cautious not
to incur His righteous displeasure, but
strive to please Him and sanctify His
holy name by our noble department anG
exemplary actions.

MUST UNDERSTAND MEEKNESs.


IT ia much like the definition of JOB
as a patient man. Certainly he was
very impatient, and he had a perfect
right to be, for he was put under not
only severe test but suffered beyond
endurance. SO if he was patient we
must define his patience differently
from the ordinary conception Of it. In
addition to this people take it thai
Jesus promised that if a person could
get the virtue of meekness he would
somehow get rich. Jesus does not
promise anything of that kind. He
says that if person is meek he shall
become an heir of something, he shat
be an heir of the earth-''they shall in
herit the earth"
Moses is described as the meekest OF
men, or at least he is classed as meek
He is a worldwide character, man
of the age At certain local points In
his career we find him breaking into
a strike for independence, defying the
king, wrathful at the people. He Is
the most heroic figure of Michael An,
gelo's marbles; he is heroic to the
Jew, the Christian, the MOhammedaT
and the world citizen.
Jesus says of himself: Come, learn
Of me, for l am meek and lowly OF
heart and We shall find rest for yOM
souls" Yet this young man in three
years thrice cleansed the temple, us
ing the words of scripture, "The zeal
of thine house hath eaten me up" Its
analogy would be found in some young
man going into our houses of congress
if there were need and driving out the
members. We must take hold Of
new idea here if we are to graft the
thought of Jesus when He said
blessed are the meek, for they shall
inherit the earth"
He is describing world fact and
world character when He speaks these
words. Rome was in the zenith of hei
power. The Roman noble was discuss
ing with equal prominence his slave
and his dog and wondering equally
over them whether the slave or the dog
had a soul and would the dog or thu
slave live again? There was certainly
no world character in that sort of civil
lization The soul that was thinking
that kind of thought had no power t.
inherit anything.
The riches of the world are not will
the rich but with the many the pow
er Of the world is not with the power
full but with the many. So blessed
are the meek, the men who are obedi
ent to the call of the earth; they in
herit it. This is the prophecy which
since its utterance is being more ant
more fulfilled. 1t was never SO mucl
filed out as it is today.

Value of Weight in Horses.

horse is worth from % to so cents
more per hundredweight when making
a sale. A farmer is in position to FEED

To sell well on the market horses must
be fat, sleek and well groomed. The
buyers demand fat. If one has time
to give proper exercise and light work
something may be added to the value
of the horse, and it will be ready tc

together with blanketing, for month
will also add a good bit to the selling
price.

to follow him. About dark, as the tired
prisoners were curling up in their scant
blankets about the Pickering camptires,
to sleep, if possible. for it was cold and
damp, and while the vigilance Of our

Yankee Sergeants jumped for freedom
into the blackness of the night over an

Many bullets whizzed after us.

as good as miles for us, according to

in gaining big woods. We continued
our flight until about midnight, judging
by the stars. Then we huddled togeth-

their course according to the old dar-

the narrative of Comrade Rodgers, 'un-
