City EvaneeIization.--Deut. 8. 1918;
Ezek. o. 2S.

Ezek. q. 2S.
Do we believe the city can be saved?
Is the gospel really within reach OF
these thronging multitudes. not as a
theory, but as a living fact? Can we
hope to enthrone our Christ over all
the busy life and work of the town?
Can its commerce be brought into
subsection to him? Can its social life
be made Christian in spirit? Do we
know what methods are needed to
bring about the results that are re-
quired of us? Can we adapt ourselves
to the infinite variety of conditions
which exist in the cities? Have we the
resources with which to meet the de.
mand for workers. and for money to
carry on the works? Have we men
and women who are fitted to do the
work and willing to attempt It? Have
we the means with which to support
them?
To every one of these questions tho
only possible Christian answer Is,
"Yes!" Other answer Is confession Ct
failure, not in tho cities only, but
everywhere. For we have preached
Christ as the answer to the deepest
need to-day Is found in New York and
Chicago and Canton and Peklng, and
all the other centers where humanity
is massed in multltudes. Inc worlds
cities must become like the city which
John saw in his vision, or Christianity
will fail, and with it civiization will
fall into hopeless ruin.
Christ knew the city well during
his human life Most of his work was
done in the centers of population. In
the week before the cruciiXiOn he set
a most striking example for his fol-
lowers-he went to the soitudes that
he might gain strength, and then re-
turned to the city that he might spend
1t for others. Many of his followers
do just the opposite thing; they go to
the city that they may gain wealth,
and then return to pleasant country
homes that they may spend it on them.
selves.
Christ knew the city's selfishness,
its wickedness, its sorrows. its indif-
ference, its hunger. It's avarice he
scouraged; it's sorrow he sought to
heal; it's hunger he fed; over It's in
difference he wept; and for its sin
he died.
Christ has no wholesale scheme to
save the city. He is always seeking
to save the individual. not the mass.
And he begins with the individual
heart, rather than any outward need.
There are many ways Of improving
peoples condition in life, but there
is only one way of saving them from
sin.
Christ's teaching is followed least
of all in the city His greatest enc
mics are there at their strongest. For
that reason his friends should be at
their best in the city. The city Chris
tian should be the most thoroughgo-
ing of all Christians because the tes-
timony of his life is most urgently
needed there, and because he has the
largest and hardest field of service.

No bee ever punctures fruit. The
bee but follows the punctures made
by the yellow jackets or wasps.
a bee does not sting when working
and active, but only when loafing and
irritable a mosquito bite is more
painful and harmful than the sting of
Il bee.
Smoke injected into a hive causes
the bees to feed upon honey, makes
them contented, and then they may be
handled with impunity.
DR.. Il. L. Phillips, of the Department
of Agriculture, at Washington, has
demonstrated that bees to an extent re-
fleet the temperament of the people of
the countries of which they are native.
Carniolian and Italian bees, like the
Caucasian. are gentle. The Cyprians
offset their vindictiveness by the fact
that they are the heaviest honey-pro-
ducers.
queen bee mates but once in a life
time and that at the age of five days.
The average life of queen is about
three years, so that marrying at the
age of FIVE days brings about a condi-
tion in which the bee differs radically
from humans.
Bees swarm for various reasons.
sometimes because they want more
room or the old queen wants to abdi-
cate as sovereign and give place to
younger one. When there is a revolu-
ton in the colony and the old queen
is superseded in swarming time, two or
three queens go out with the colony
and one queen will sting the others to
death, for there must be but one queen
in colony. Queens have been known
TO reign four years. but are generally
regarded rs unfit and superseded when
three years old.
Honey will always be one of the
luxuries and there will never come a
time when pure honey cannot be sold
at a good price. The cities are full
of rank limitations of honey that sell
at honey prices and anyone who is
able to furnish supply of pure comb
honey and get it to the market in good
shape, may be sure of getting from
fifteen to twenty cents pound fer it,

Wood Ashes on the Farm.

On all farms wood ashes are consid
cred valuable on grass crops. In fact,
wood ashes have always held a high
place in the preference of farmers for
fertilizing purposes, and as long as
ashes can be had of standard quality
they will continue TO be used. Hard
wood ashes are regarded as far SUI
perlor to the ashes of soft woods, yet
the variation in the amounts of potash
derived from the ashes of hard woods
is so great as to render 1t difficult to
draw the line of value between hard
and soft woods. Experiments made at
the Ontario Station with Canada ashes
show that hickory ashes contain OF
per cent. Of potash; red oak, 5.75: but
ternut, 800; walnut, 4.62; cherry, 5.2s;

per cent. 1t will be noticed, therefore,
that the ashes of grape cuttings largely
exceed all others in percentage Of
potash contained, while the pear wood
goes above hickory. These facts show
that no farmer can purchase wood
ashes with a knowledge of their cor
rect value unless he learns something
of the place and manner in which the
ashes are produced. If he procures
red oak ashes he will secure about
sixty per cent. of potash, compared
with hickory ashes, and their value
will further depend Gn weight upon
the exposure to which the ashes were
subjected before reaching the farms. as
potash is easily leached out and the
weight of the ashes is increased by
absorption of moisture from the atmos-
phere. Ashes should always be an.
alyzed before purchasing in order that
their correct proportion of potash may
be determined. If such is not feasible,
then they should be sold under guar.
antee, in all cases making an allowance
for the amount of moisture contained,
the purchaser procuring his supply
from some reliable and well-known
dealer.

Good Horse Stall,

The matter of having the proper sort
or an accommodation for the horse is a
very important one. An idea, with the
description of the same, for a good stall
is given by correspondent in Success
full Farming, which is as follows:
"The features of the horse stall
shown in cut are the hay rack and
manger. The former is built outside
the stall, and may be connected with
second floor by chute. 1t should be
made about three feet wide and elgh.
teen inches deep, nd the wood graf.
ings be at least eight inches apart SO
that the horse may easily pass in his

Better Poultry on the Farm.

Now that poultry is in such demand
and at double the former prices for
eggs and chicks poultry on the farm
has become a greater interest than
ever before. 1t is just as easy to grow
good chickens as scrubs, and they eat
no more and bring much more money
A lady who gives much attention to
growing chickens on the farm sends
the following letter on the subject to
the Farmers Review. She says:
would like to see more ana better
poultry on our farms, ana | believe
there is no way in which we can more
readily and surely increase the returns
from our farms. The point at which
we should stop increasing the size Of
our fiocks Is that at which there is
nothing more for the fowls to CLEAN
from the fields in the way of bugs and
lost grain. The tender grass and the
young clover that are to be found all
over the farm in late summer and fall
make good feed for fowls and we
should utilize them as much as possible
by having large number of fowls to
use II.
We need more poultry on the farms,
as is evidenced by the increasing price
for poultry products. This means that
the demand is ahead of the supply.
When the prices get high there is a
tendency for the people TO buy other
food in the place of poultry products
therefore we are the losers. There is
another reason why we should increase
the amount of poultry on our farms
and that is that poultry meat is not MS
solid as other meat, and therefore IN
selling 1t we get more for the same
food value parted with than from a
like weight of beef or pork.
The better the poultry the more we
will get for the food consumed, which
is, Of course, Of great moment. We
have In most of our fiocks hens that
eat and eat and never lay an egg.
Some OF them have passed beyond the
age for laying and the owner has lost
