Christ Ancl, ors the Soul.

Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, speaking
of Christ as an anchor to the soul, says
significantly: "You are certain to be
assaiIed with troubles. No hurricane
can strike full rigged ship more sud-
denly than orms of adversely may
burst upon you. But If Jesus Christ
Is in your soul you cannot suffer
wreck. The anchor sure and steady
will hold you. People do not see what
holds vessel when the gale Is sending
the pillows over her bow. The anchor
is invisible, as 1t lies full many a
fathom deep on the solid ground be-
meath the waves. &c. when we see a
good man beaten upon with heavy ad-
versities and yet preserving cheerful
spirit, we do not discover the secret Of
his serenity. But the eye of God sees
that there is an interior life hid with
Christ in that soul which no storm can
touch There is many bereavement,
many a trouble that may strip man
of canvas or cordage, but never touch
the solid strength Of his godly charac-
ter"

How one mistake OF hers might wreck

She wears her honors lightly as a wagon

There is some strange divinity that

And in her friendly sallies with the law

She swings the torch of knowledge In

The Literary Lady wracks her fascinat

TO write her own biography before she's

To tell about her Editors, her Letters and

Her spring and summer poetry. her fall

For proudly she explains to u.s. as proud

cal PERIOD or their growth.
AS it requires about 500 pounds
Of water to produce one pound of
dry matter In the corn plants,
this emphasizes the Importance
Of conserving, at all times, in the
soil goodly quantity of mois-
ture, as this is the vehicle through
which the plants obtain. .ssall their
food from the soil.
CULTIVATE ON LEVEL.
OF course, when the moisture
supply is limited, then the func-
tions Of the plants are not normal
and small yields are the invarla-
be result. Cultivation is prima-
rlly for the dual purpose of des-
troying weeds and grass and con-
serving the moisture contained
in the soil.
We have found that by thor
ough preparation of the soil by
breaking with a two horse turn.
ing plow, and narrowing if neces
sary, followed by cultivation with
cultivators during the growing
period Of the corn, Is very effec
tive method Of treating this
crop.
DEEP Flowing INJURIOUS WHEN
CORN GETS LARGE.
The corn is planted on the
level, and the subsequent cultiva-
,ion8 are every ten to twelve
days, and as soon after rains as
possible, going shallower as the
plants advance in siza and their
root systems extend toward the
middles of the rows. Often yields
are lessened by blowing deep
and breaking off the feeding
roots after the corn DlanJs have
sent out their feeding roots in all
directions in search Of plant
food.
The running of the cultivators 6
are continued until about the 20;h
Of July to the 1st of August. the
date Of the last cultivation being
governed by local conditions,
such as season, growth Of grass,
etc. BY these treqIent cuitiva-
tlOns grass and weeds are kept in
subj election and the moisture of
the soil is largely retained in the
soil by the surface dust mulch
that is constantly maintained.
GET THE ESSENTIAL FERTILIzING
ELEMENTS BY GROWING LEGUMES.
As the corn plant does It's best
work In soil that is well sup.
piled with humus and nitrogen
then to secure the largest yields

THE ROASTED RICH


Wien there is nothing else to do.
When things are rather dull,
When there is no sensation new
To sort of All the lull
When war hangs heavy on our hands,
When congress Is at sea,
When there are no maraudlng bands.
We take a rap at old John ID.
With all the wealth at his command,
With all his power to buy,
You'd think he would not have to stand
For ali the darts that fly
And that he'd only have to cough
Or at the most TO wink
To get the critics to ring or
You have another think.
That Is the beauty OF land
Where freedom is on tap.
Unto the richest one we hand
A hot but friendly rap.
Quite modestly we do our best
AS though we were compelled
To keep him feeling humble lest
His great head might get sweled.
And schemes unnumbered we devise
Without expense to him
To keep the rich In exercise
And always feeling trim.
Not that we have II In for him
And count him special prey.
Because, forsooth, he's In the swim;
It's only just our way.
