OF THE CHRISTIAN.
By Rev. John J. Donlar


l beeseech you that you walk worthy
of the vocation in which you are called.
-Eph. Al.
There is no metaphor which st. Paul
more frequently uses than that re-
ferring to the faithful as temples of the
living God. He says to the CORN
thians, Know you not that you are
the temples of God and that the spirit
of God dwells in you? The temple Of
God is holy, which you are"
Now God is everywhere present; all
creation may be properly called his
temple. Since the apostle particularly
dgnifies human creatures with this ap-
pellation we must, in a more elevated
sense and in a more perfect manner,
be His temples.
The vessel of election explains his
meaning in his letter to the Romans.
The charity of God is heard abroad in
our hearts by the Holy Ghost, who is
given to us. Hence the spirit of God
adorns and beauties our souls with an
infinite variety Of precious gifts and

Crops Following Cow Peas.

One ought not to get the idea that
worn out piece Of ground can be plant
ed to COW peas one year and be soWn
to seed so as to raise a paying crop the
following year. Cow peas renovate the
soil and supply nitrogen, but they can
not and do not entirely rebuild it in
short period. If one has a worn out
strip of soil, he must expect to spend
some time and energy on it to get it in
proper condition. A plan somewhat af-
ter the following would work well Sow
five pecks Of COW peas per acre broad
cast and with them four or five hun
dred pounds of some good fertilizer, US
ing a fertilizer more heavily endowed
with potash and phosphoric acid than
with nitrogen, although it should con-
tain some nitrogen. About the middle
of the summer pillow the COW peas I'M
der lime the soil heavily, five hundred
pounds or more to the acre, harrow in
and SOW to mixture Of crimson clover
and rape. This, plowed under the fol-
lowing spring, would give one a soil
fairly good for some cultivated crop
upon which a liberal quantity Of fer
tilizer should be used.-Exchange

Heavy Draft Animals.

At recent Missouri Association
meeting, Prof. Kennedy spoke as fol
lows about the heavy draft horse:
THE heavy draft horse weighs from
1000 to 1000 pounds, and is worth, at
minimum, $500. Each Of the first
two additions of hundred pounds
above 1000 increases the value of the
horse $25, after which every addition in
weight means $50 hundred pounds.
So draft horse Of 1000 pounds is
worth $500. Light draft horses, weigh
ing from 1, 300 to 1000 pounds, are used
for express wagons, fire engines and
other heavy but quick work. These
bring about 1925 to 5000. The high
acting carriage or coach horse is worth
from 5000 to $1,000. The roadster or
gentleman's driving horse, and the gait
ed saddle horse vary from 5000 to $500
respectively up to $1,000. In the last
ten years there has been an advance
Of % per cent in the draft horses of
Iowa and Missouri.

Theory Not to Be scorned.

1t is safe to say that in no other pro-
fession, for farming is a profession If

practitioners who understand the fun
damental principles of their work as

We call in physician, and feel that
II he can not tell US pretty nearly what
the trouble is with the patient that he
does not understand his business. We
give case to lawyer, and if he makes
a mess Of it we feel, and rightly, that
he is not up in his profession. We Of

NAL weather conditions, and guess at
the cause.
If we pillow and SOW we hope the soil
Will bring certain return If it does
not, how many of us can tell why? The
truth of the matter is, we pillow and SOW
without much regard to why we do it.
and with even less regard of what our
soil needs are and whether we have
supplied them.
If every soil worker in the country
could take a course of one year in prac-
teal soil chemistry, there would be
such change in farming operations
and results as would startle the world
We read and see many agricultural sue
cesses, and in each and every case we

THE sAVIOR'S RULE.

By Rev. +. Schleiermacher, D. ID.
'"Then said Jesus to his disciples, If
any man will come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross and
follow me"-Matthew 16: "a
Only reflect, how great difference
there is in the proportion in which the
adversities and troubles of this life are
assigned to individuals. And this ine-
quality in no way depends on differ
ences of position Or occupation, which
though only external are yet in GER
tain sense permanent distinctions for a
mans whole lifetime. No! in the
world of Indulgence, and in that of lux
urious wealth, in the lowest stage Of
degradation, and in the circumstances
of those who occupy high places In hui
man society, troubles and disappoint-
ments are to be found in equal meas
r,re. In the one class as in the other
there are those who are continually
tossed by the storms of life, and are
hardly delivered from one misfortune,
from one sorrow or suffering, till they
become prey to another And on the
other hand, there is often, in the sim
plest and most obscure life, even in the
most unfavorable circumstances, an
outward calm, a quiet peace that is lit
tie disturbed, so that little suffering Or
real sorrow is seen in the life.
We may safely assert that SO long as
an earthly state Of things lasts, there
will be no disciple of the Lord who
will not have cause to deny himself
and to take up the cross; and the two
duties are essentially connected. If we
have only looked deep into our hearts
in moments of human weakness, there
will be no one who can say of himself,
just as everyone must say, that the
whole position of human affairs is such
that he must take up his cross if he
wishes to do the will of his Father in
heaven, and so in deed and truth follow
the Savior.

l think very favorably of hard wood
ashes for orchard use as a dressing for
the soil, says Well-llnOwn orchard
owner. 1t appears that we get results
from their use altogether out of proper
ton to the amount Of phosphoric acid
and potash they contain, and that this
must be credited to the effects Of the
lime they contain upon the soil con-
tents. The chemist tells us that the
lime, potash, etc, contained in wood
ashes are in the best possible form for
plant use. | would want more phos-
phoric acid than the ashes contain, and
would prefer to add it in the shape of
steamed bone rather than acid phos-
plate. l have used large quantities of
acid phosphate in the past, and still
favor it's use, but not in combination
with either wood ashes or conn. on

Care of Old Orchards.

The man who starts out with a
young and vigorous orchard is quite
likely to give it reasonable good care,
for he believes that, in time, 1t will
bring him good returns. On the other
hand, the man with an old orchard
that is an adult orchard, so to speak,
generally believes that its days of use
tulness are over and gives it little or
no care and, as a result, it amounts to
out little. Experienced orchardists
who have gone into the matter extern
sively think that the orchard which
is not too old is well worth caring for
and many of them have made them
pay handsomely by the simple process
of cultivation of the soil. pruning and
spraying the trees.

At Lee, in berkshire county, MASS,
there are being turned out, under gov
eminent supervision, 25O headstones a
week to mark graves of soldiers sail
ors. marines, scouts, nurses, or others
who have served regular enlistment
in the military Or naval service of the
United States.
These tombstones are furnished free
by the government. and are sent out
upon the application or a relative, a
member of the Grand army of the Re
public, or a citizen of the United
States, who furnishes the name Of the
dead soldier or sailor and his regiment
or ship. The military secretarys office
then looks up his record and his bury
ing place and the headstone is ordered.
The government pays all transporta-
ton charges Oh these stones to the
nearest freight office. All that then
remains is for the relative or friend to
have it taken from the freight office to
the cemetery.
More than 100000 of these have al
ready been provided and are marking
the graves of the nations dead through
out the country. All of these marble
slabs have been taken out of quarrles
operated at Lee or at Rutland, Vt.
On the grounds at the Lee quarry
the stone is polished, marked, and
Grated. Twenty men are employed the
year round in polishing and marking
beadstones for the nations dead. Twice
year the government receives bids
from contractors, and the contract is
let to the lowest bidder.
The marble is taken out Of the quar-
nv in blocks three feet square. Great
iron saws are then used to cut the
blocks in two, after which they are
strapped together and cut in two again.
The action Of the saw is aided by
means of wet sand, it being allowed to
drip in at the sides Of the saw.
government inspector carefully in
spects each stone which is turned out.
This inspection is very strict. If there
is a blemish in the stone, however
slight, it is cast aside, the government
refusing to accept 1t.
When the finished headstone is ready
for delivery to the government 1t meas
ures three feet and three inches long,
one foot wide, and four inches thick.
Each stone weighs about $50 pounds.
On each is a sunken shield or wreath,
and directly under this name, the rank
and regiment of the dead soldier.
The headstones are then sent to dis
tributing points, where they remain
until requisition is made for them by
the War Department. No headstones
have been sent to the Philippines up
to this time, but applications for mark
ers to be sent to the newly acquired
islands are coming in to the govern
ment at the rate Of twenty day.
