Gentleness.

The strength of God is very gentle.
He does not make a great noise in
lifting the tides or in speeding the
stars in their courses. The sunshine
is one of His greatest treasures of
power. He turns the hearts of stall
wart sinners by the touch of infant
fingers or by the memory of a pious
mothers spiritual beauty and fidelity.
By loving invitations, tender encour-
agements and manifold ministries of
patience and sympathy, He encour-
ages the penitence and the faith of
sinful and weak human hearts His
children should seek more of His gen
tleness. We are too easily tempted
to bluster and violence. We forget
that gentleness is greatness as well as
goodness. If we would do brave
deeds, let us seek to be filled with
divine eness.-NoTthern Chris
tian Advocate.

Eearly and Late Plowing.

Experiments as to early and late
plowing are made on bottom land
with these results;
The land was divided into six plots,
each one of which was plowed alter
nately late and carly, the early plow-
ing, April to 19, and the late plow-
ing, June 3, all the plots being cul-
tiyated at the same time and with the
same tools
The crop yield from the early
plowed land is more than from the
late, at the rate of &C bushels per
acre.
The moisture holding power of
soils is greater with the early plowed
land at one. two or three feet in
depth than that OF the late, the great
est difference in its favor being found
In the surface root.
When the moisture contents OF
this particular soil falls below twelve
per cent the leaves Of many plants
curl early in the day. and the plant
turns yellowish color and Is more or
less checked in its growth.
Nitrifcation takes place with a
gradually decreasing Intensity, at
one. two or three feet In depth.
The seasonal average amount OF
available nitrogen found for the early

eight inches long are tenoned to the
sills. Three cap pieces two inches by
four inches and four feet two inches
long are mortised at the ends to re-
ceive tops of posts. The caps are of
oak. One oak piece in front of the
cap, which holds the stanchion, Is
two inches by two inches and four
feet two inches long. The lower oak
piece in front of the stanchion is two
inches by four inches and two feet
long. The lumber is two inches thick
and seven feet long for sides. One
board two inches by seventeen inches
and seven feet long is used for the
bottom. For stanchions in front use
one board two inches by ten inches,
five feet eight inches long; one board
two inches by ten inches, five feet
two inches long. For back gate use
two pieces two inches by twelve
inches, four feet four inches long, cut
sloping to fit the frame. 1t is put
on with hinges. The stanchions in
front are bolted at the bottom be-
tween two inch by four inch piece,
and the sill, leaving a space up and
down in front FIVE inches wide. Two
and half feet from the bottom of
the stanchion slope cut a place for
the animals neck. The two inches
by two inch oak piece is bolted to the
side OF the cap with blocks to allow
the top of the stanchions to open and
close and work with a lever. The
lever, which can be made of wagon
| tire, is five feet six inches long. A
three-eight-inch hole is punched in
the top of the lever, a second hole
thirteen and half inches from top
hole, and the third eleven inches
from second hole. The upper hole is
for attachment of two iron straps,
one on each side. which are fastened
to the left hand stanchion. From the
lower hole two pieces of iron four
teen inches long go TO the right hand
stanchion. When the stanchions are
closed bore one or two half-inch
holes in post back of leve~. in which

plowed land in the surface foot Is
twice that found for the late at the
same depth.
The available nitrogen in the sur
face foot of the early plowed field
Is four times that found in either the
second or third foot, early or late
land.
That the mean soil temperature
for the early plowed land is in all
cases during the entire season lower
than that found for the late plowed.
The low mean soil temperature
found for the early plowed land is
accompanied throughout the season
by greater amount of moisture and
available nitrogen than is the case
with the late plowed. which has the
higher temperature
In many cases high temperature
is followed by high rate of nitrfflca-
tion, while in others 1t is not, thus
suggesting that the process of nitrif-
cation is more or less dependent upon
what may be called the rate relation
between the water content and the
temperature of the soil, provided
other factors are favorable.-Rich-
mond Times-Dispatch.

Suggestions.
The more you help children, the
more you will be helped by them.
Children are most influenced by
other children-and by grown-ups that
become children.
The speedlest way to get close to a
child is TO join him in some fun.
No alteration is more entire than
the regard Of a child for an older
person that has really won him.
Illustrations.
In catching FISH we consult the
fshs tastes and appetites, and not
our own; precisely so with children.
Reviews are as essential for the
studies of life as for algebra. When
we teach children, we review our
childhood.
It is hard to walk with those that
are always tagging behind or rush
isg ahead; it is inspiring to walk
with some one by our side.
The best way to help these young
guides we are training is occasionally
to let them guide us.

Pea Vines Feeding valuc.


The feeding value of pea vine hay
is becoming more generally recog-
nized. The failure to secure a stand
of red clover has materially enhanced
its value in the eyes of the farmer,
for it is really the best substitute for
clover hay that has yet been found.
Considering its feeding value alone,
II is much richer in digestible pro-
tein than clover hay, and for certain
purposes on the farm is more valu-
able.
Pea vine hay is splendidly adapted
for feeding to sheep and to cattle
whether milk or beef production be
the object in view 1t is not so we'll
adapted to feeding to horses and
mules, especially to horses, because
it is dusty and is supposed to be one
of the principal causes of "heaves."
While it is true that clover hay is
fertile cause of heaves, it is not so
likely to produce the disease as pea
hay. Many have objected to using
pea hay for horses because it has
been said to be a frequent cause of
death.
Investigation has generally shown
that death was only followed when
moldy pea hay was fed, and as the
feeding of timothy or clover hay un.
der the same conditions would as
likely have produced death, it is not
fair to attribute any injurious effects
to properly made and cured pea hay.
More or less of good quality of
pea hay has been fed to horses and
mules on the university farm for the
past three years without injuring eff.

God not only wants good men, but
he wants good workmen. There Is
no greater study for man tnan how
"to show himself approved unto
God" No other problem IS. worthy
of so much attention. In It is all
attainment; in It is all OF service.

as the Master Mechanic we shall be.
come skilled workmen. Again, we
are informed that God has the fur.
nishings to make us fully equipped
for every good work. The wise man
lnstructs us to get wisdom and un'
derstanding. It would be well to
Gull out of Proverbs the beautiful say
ings about wisdom.
Children's day is an important day
in the church calendar. 1t is a day
set apart for observance by the Sab
bath school, but Is it profoundly
proper that the subject OF the Ep-
worth League should be in keeping
with the day. The same young peo-
pie are in the school. and in the
league. The league aims to cult.
vate intelligent plety in the members.
II is a day when the attention of the
young people Is called to the demand
for men for the top. 1t is the time
to call to high service, and If high
service, then adequate preparation.
Grace has set many dull boy to a
quicker step and It will be a success

bine its effotrs so as to inspire the
young people to aim for usefulness.
If a man is called to preacn ne is
called to prepare to preach" was the
sentiment DR.. James Strong used TO
give to the students at Drew Semin'
ary. In any line if man is called
to a work he Is called to make the
best possible preparation for It.
The problems that confront men
to-day are greater and more compl-
Gated than in former years. The
intricate network OF social organiza'
ton makes these problems the prac'
tical ones for every man. Every
power must be at its best II man
would fill his place in the world.
How we have seen noble men of char.
acter whose prospects for life are
forever dark just because they are
not trained enough to see their way
through the dark maze. Doors of
opportunity are shut tight in the face
of many young man just because he
despised his opportunity for an edu-
cation when he was young.
Education is to make manhood,
NOT money. Many a schoolboy gets
the impression that mans business
here is to make money, and so he
thinks he must get to work. To
work he goes, and his fathyr let's
him do it because he can buy his own
clothes and so not be burden on his
parents. But making money is only
a side issue to pay expenses; mans
business is to make manhood.

The Transforming Power Of Life.

The Arabs have a saying about the
palm tree, that It stands with its
feet in salt water and its head in the
sun. They often cannot drink the
brackish water found in the oasis
where the palm grows, but they tap
the tree and drink the sweet palm
sap.
The palm tree by the magic of it's
inner life can so change the elements
found in the unkindly soil around
1t that they minister to it's growth
and strength and fruit-bearng. So
we in our earthly life must often have
our feet in the mire and bitterness
of sin around us; and upon our heads
will often beat the fierce heat of
temptation. But in spite of these
things we shall be able to grow and
grow strong, if within there is the
making of a new life through Jesus
Christ. Advocate

Der Lincoln. Men who will cast aside
the Saviour of the world cannot be
expected TO spend much time to COM
memorate the deaths and sacrifices
Of the saviours of the Union. To put
the Sabbath, the rest day, on Mon
day will not make men go to church:
nor will the placing OF Memorial Day
on Sunday be efficient to turn the
hearts of careless men to the contem-
plation and commemoration of the
blood that flowed at Harpers Ferry,
Fort Sumter, Vicksburg. and the rest.
The man who feels no sympathy for
the Christ on Calvary will feel less
for those who fell on the bloody field
at Gettysburg. What to him are the
birth pains of the nations?
The tendency 10 turn the American
Sabbath into a Continental Sunday
is as perilous as It Is pernicious. II
strikes at the religious, the best and
the central life of the people. The
endeavor to escape Puritanism has
led to all sorts of loose living and
misspent leisure. AS between Puri-
tanism and Continentalsm give me
no law at all The Sabbath should
not be given over TO riotous living.
On the other hand, In our endeavor
to escape with Christ the killing let
ter of the law, we have, | think, gone
too far. There are many things that
are necessary and that mult Se done
on the Sabbath, and contrariwlse,
there are many things done on the
Sabbath that could be as we'll done on
week days, and as many more that
could well be left undone altogether.
The word of Christ that the Sabbath
was made for man can in no wise
excuse the unnecessary labors that
many tradesmen have to perform on
Sunday How many men and women
who go to Coney Island or hundred
other places on Sunday can rightly
plead necessity as excuse for putting
extra labor upon multitudes of men?
The Sunday paper tends to become
curse. not because it is unhealthy
or unwise TO read the news on the
Sabbath, but because It puts unneces-
sary labor. in the majority of cases,
upon a host and robs thousands of
the common day OF rest. The man
who can't get shaved on Saturday has
no real excuse for making the barber
work on the Sabbath. ] do not want
to descend to trivial things, but you
all know. as well as I, that there are
a thousand and one things done that
have no business to be performed on
the Sabbath
We need a readjustment to-day in
our estimate of values. Sunday as
the Sabbath is boon to man Sun
day as a side show to the other six
days of the week is sacrilege.

SORGHUM as stocIs Feed.

Professor George C. Humphrey. of
Wisconsin Experiment Station, says
that next to corn sorghum is very
highly recommended as late sum-
mer feed for cattle. hogs and other
classes of stock. Enormous yields of
1t are reported, surpassing that of
any other crop, and its palatability is
unquestioned. 1t can be cut and
cured where sowed thick and is not
allowed to get too coarse, and will
serve as very good hay, the leaves
being smoother and equally as palata-
Bile as those of corn. Cattle and pigs
will eat the grain and chew the stalks
of rlpened cane, and in this form it
is considered good feed that need
not be wasted if not fed as soiling.

Horscs and Cattle Together.

Mr. L. T.. of Fairmont, Neb., asks
whether 1t is good practice to run
different classes of stock together in
a pasture. We never like to put vic
ious or troublesome horses in with
cattle, for they are apt to annoy the
cattle. but few horses put in the
cattle pasture will help clean up the
pasture, for the horses will eat the
rich growth around the spots where
the manure of the cattle has dropped.
A few sheep run in with cattle will
not touch. The most important thing
is not to overstock with any one class,
to the detriment of the other. Pas
lures in which horses, cattle and
sheep are lun will be eaten down
close, and one should never over
stock.-ILd diana Farmer.
