Farm Notes.

In a clover country farmer who
owns a ceed huller can make from So
to $40 with it, net, by hulling for his
neighbors.
A good tool to cut turf around
trees and along borders of walks can
be made from an old hoe. Bend the
shank out straight and sharpen from
both sides.
IN calculating the size of the silo
which you will need, the Cornell
University bulletin says that it is ad-
visable to estimate than an average
10O0-pound COW will consume about
forty pounds of silage per day.
If you do not know how handy
they are, attach chains to your(map-
gers, the hitching post, and wherever
you want to fasten horse Have a
good snap in the end of the chain
which can be quickly attached to the
bit rein.
When ventilating poultry houses or
hog houses, let the ventilator take in
air about twelve inches from the bot
tom and carry it up to within twelve
inches of the top before the next
opening is made. The ventilator
should run diagonally through. the
house.
A good hog fence can be made by
setting posts three feet high sixteen
feet apart Run q barbed wire three
inches from the ground and another
on the top. Then nail on good strong
wire netting thirty inches wide. Draw
all tight, and this fence will last a
Ions time.
An Iowa farmer suggests that a
good way to prevent the dirt from
| getting to the oil bowls of the old
style disc harrows is TO attach pieces
of one-quarter inch gas pipe so they
extend up from the oil pipes through
the box, keeping them closed with
wooden plugs. A blacksmith will do
this work at small cost.
One quart OF mash to twelve grown
hens once a day is the proper allow
ance-if you insist upon feeding a
mash. If you will conform to mod
ern methods, however, and feed your
mixed meals and clover In dry state
you need not fret over how much tc
feed. Put in the hopper and let each
hen choke down all she will. It's the
natural way.

Every Road Leads to Jesus.

A young man just starting upon
his work in the ministry was one day
talking to an aged minister in Lon
don, who had spent lifetime in the.
service. The young man said, You
have a great deal of experience; you
know many things that l ought to
learn Can't you give me advice to
carry with me in my new duties.
Yes, | can" was the response. 1
will give you a piece of advice. You
know that in every town in England,
no matter how small, in every ham,
let, though it be hidden in the folds
of the mountains or wrapped round
bv the far-off sea, in every clump of
farmhouses, you can find a road
which, if you will follow it, will take
YOU to London. Just so every text
you shall choose to preach from the
Bible will have a road that leads to
Jesus. Be sure you find that road and
follow it; be careful not TO miss 1t
once. This is my advice to you

The Soul Winners Equipment.

Be filled with the Spirit. (Eph. 5:
15.) This is the call to every Chris
tian to be filled with the Spirit. That
is what is needed to-day Only
those who are filled with the Spirit
can be soul winners. To be filed
is the privilege Of all. Christians
are known by their fruits With
out Me ye can do nothing" Ono. 10:
81. 1t is as impossible to live the
Christian life without the Holy Spir-
it as to live natural life without air.
There must be an emptying of all
else before there can be real filling.
Holiness must prevail The little
sins If tolerated will hinder the Spir-
1t from having full sway. This Is
not only a privilege for every Chris
tian, but a duty; for it is a COM
mand: BE filled with the Spirit.

In this lesson there isaa great deal
of light OIL the relation of our powers
to the work we have 30 perform and
the spirit in which it Is to be done.
The gifts" we possess are the be-
stowments of grace" They are not
originated by us, nor are they ours to
use with no reference to anyone else.
They are bestowed with q view TO
service to others. The word

makes no difference what the talents
are, they are intrusted to us for use
in helping others on to a better life
in the service of the Master. In Ro-
mans we have a rehearsal of some of
the gifts bestowed and the teaching
that underlies the passage is that we
should receive the gifts as Gods be.
stowment for us, and to use them as
the talents which God has given with
which VIC are 10 serve. It encourages
us 20 feel that our service is In the
line of Gods will as much as that
which more conspicuous talent may
render. In Corinthians we see the
possibility of proving ourselves the
ministers of God by all sorts of UNI
favorable conditions and circumstan-
ces. II gives us the hard conditions
and then tells us by what grace we
are to prove our devotion to God in
those surroundings.
How often we find the plea made,
"I cannot do It. l have no ability"
They may not be able to do the par
ticular thing asked of them, but they
can do nothing is false. 1t is n dis
honest answer, for anyone that has
mind enough to answer sensible
question has talent enough to do
something. There is no sane mind
but has gifts. We as Epworth Leag-
uers. or as men and women without
regard to membership in any society,
ought to be made to feel that we have
gifts. These gifts are from God.
What are we to do with them?
1t will save us many hard
experiences If we first find out
what talents we have, and
then serve in the place those tai
ents would naturally put us. Too
many think that only the professions
are honorable, and that trade is not
so desirable. But God wants Chris
tian men in the ranks of trades as
we'll as in the professions. What an
opportunity there is for Christian
workingmen to mold the forces of So
ciety into a right spirit through the
unions! God has given to some men
the ability to make money, but still
it is a gift from him, and should be
used to the advancement of the Re-
deemer's kingdom. That ability is
not to be used to amass great person
al fortunes, but to bring the money
of the world into the service of our
King. So 1t is with all positions in
the social organization.

Surgery For Trees.

The successful treatment of trees
by surgery is the subject of a report
n ade recently by a botanist named
Eberhardt to the Academy of Sci
ences, in Paris. M. Eberhardt has
practiced it, he says, with entire sue
cess in Indo-China. He has often
performed operations on tea plants,
mulberry trees, orange trees and
other tropical plants.
Experiments in cold climates have
not met with much success so far,
but it is believed the system can be
used with advantage in the southern
regions of Europe. The operations
are not amputations, neither are they
mere subcutaneous injections, such
ms have been made successfully in
Europe for the cure of some parasitic
disease Of plants; they are surgical
in the strictly modern sense.
The method is adopted when the
trees are attacked by insects which
penetrate the bark and deposit their
eggs in the wood. The long-horned
beetle is a serious plague in lndo-
China.
The larvae hollow out galleries in
che tissue OF the trunk and branches;
these interrupt the circulation OF the
sap, and the tree speedily withers and
dies.
Eberhardts method consists of
opening up the gallery with a scalpel,
removing the larvae with forceps or
ruretting instrument and then flush
ing out the cavity with an antiseptic
fluid, consisting of forty parts Of
Eylcerine, 10 of formaline and $50
of water Three or four washings
| are given at intervals extending over
about fifteen days, and at the end of
that time cushions of vegetable tissue
begin to appear along the edge of the
scar which heals completely in from
six to eight months. 1t is essential
during the first two or three months
TO protect the wound from light,
which seems to stop the formation of
new tissue.
When the trunk Is so seriously at
tackled as to render so radical an op-
Grafton undesirable, NJ Eberhardt
pricks the cavity in the tree with a
trocar, to which he affxes a syringe
and inieets solution of 1sO parts of
formaline, sixty of glycerine and 76O
OF water. This he forces in until the
cavity is filed to overlooking Either
the larvae come to the surface. when
they are extracted with the forceps

Two injections are usually made al

hardly seems to penetrate the woody
fiber beyond the surface broken down
by the parasites, The wound heals

cut in the side, is soldered around
the edge of the bottom and at the
ends. The cone-shaped dent or de-
preston in the side of the bucket
should extend two-thirds of its
height.
There are many poultry fountains
made on the same principle, but none

Often have seen five and six grown
hens drinking from it at once.
To fill it, hold the opening under
faucet or use an old kettle with a
spout, or submerge it in a larger
bucket. To empty, lay on the ground,
opening down.
For little chicks, set it on the floor
or ground; for those of larger growth,
in a winter pen or scratching shed,
set 1t on a block eight or ten inches
high and turn the opening away from
the most active scratching operations.

The little foxes or jackals of Pales-
tine were seldom more than fifteen
inches high; but mischief is not pro-
portionate to size.
The vineyard, throughout this poem
of the Song of Solomon, is the love of
the two speakers for each other. Tru-
ly love is a vineyard, full of rich
clusters of fruit.
Foxes are fond of grapes. Our
little faults attack what is best In our
characters.
In the passage from which the
verse is taken the little foxes symbo-
lie whatever hurts the vineyard of
love. Rightly they have been made
to mean the little faults int spoil
our lives.
Suggestions.
Every fault, however little, may
grow into a sin, however large.
"It's only little FAULT" It's only
a little flame back of the wainscoat-
ing."
It's the little things that make
vineyard-little drops of water, little
rays Of sunshine; and it's the little
things that spoil vineyard.

dislike Of the faults of others.

when feeding horses. that in that

nothing to wash them down. But in

water beside his manger, and, as he

at a diminishing rate. In the Ave
years ending with 1905, the death
rate for both sexes showed an in
crease OF eight per cent, which was
about half as great as the increase
for the five years ending with 1890.
The deaths in 1904 were TAI per

and lOO6 among females In nearly
all comparable cases the rate is
greater among females. A remark
able exception is cancer of the mouth,
