FARMER AND
PLANTER,
TO INDUCE FALL LAYING.
Feed Variety-Not Too Much OF Arv
One Kind.

A little care and additional atten.
tion and work with the hens on the
place at this season will be well re-.
paid. This is the beginning of the
moulting, or shedding season, and q
good many of the hens are not LAYING
and will not lay for some two or three
months under the usual course of neg.
lect and Indifference on the part of
their owners. And yet, it is possi-
BILE to get a goodly number of fan eggs,
If we will so at it right.
To induce fall laying, the hens
should have variety of foods-not
al great deal of any one kind, but a
little of several kinds. For this mr..
pose, all the waste of the kitchen and
the dining-room should be saved and
given to them. The best plan is to
have good sized pot handy, and
throw all scraps into 1t. Let 1t sit at
the back of the kitchen stove: and
at the close OF either the breakfast
or midday meal, put some oats. or
wheat in it too, with water, and soak
all together. 1t will not take long to
do it, and then when cooled off some,
call up the hens and give it to them,
1t will start them to singing and run.
ming about in happy way, and soon
also start them to the nest and
keep some of them laying all through
the autumn and fall.
In addition to the eggs this system
will bring, 1t will also keep the hens
healthy and vigorous and enable
them to shed and reclothe themselves
in near feathers earlier than other.

The fact that it has been demon
strated by good farmers that oats can
be raised more cheaply than corn
should stimulate oat growing. With
this crop, as with wheat, the land
should be well prepared, and only good
seed should be used. For oats, sow
two bushels of seed per acre of some
good winter variety.
Rye is another crop that should re-
ceive more attention than we are CIV
ing it. Almost any land will grow
some rye, bu- the better the land the
more rye we will get.

While it is well to pick the cotton

not do that at the expense of every
thing else; and especially do we adj

 In pointed, vigorous style the
 1 preacher in this sermon invites his readers to self examination to find whether their lives are in accord with their profession The text is Matthew v:47, What do ye more than others?'
 In the words of my text Christ sepa- rates the inhabitants of the human race into two groups. First, here is the group of the. men of the world, and wonder IS the group of the servants of Christ Now" says Jesus. ''these two groups are entirely different in characteristics and in their conception of life. The members or one group are living for themselves. The members of one group are scheming and planning how they can use men Tor their own advantage. The one group says: "I must first fill my own larder and look after my own enjoyment. No matter whether other people have good time or not, l must make life. easy for No. l." The other group says: -l1nust live for God and for my fellow men. must help the overhurdened carry the load they are staggering under. l must be eyes for the blind, crutches for the lame, food for the hungry. 1 must learn to forgive men as l hope God will forgive me- Then Christ says to point the moral For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same? And If ye sd- lute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? Do not even the gentiles the sameg' Probably there was not man within sound of his voice who did not pride himself on being better than publican He was therefore bringing the matter home to them when he asked them in what way they were better.
 It might be well if we asked ourselves such a question. We call ourselves Chris tions. and it is a great title. There is no name on earth so noble as that of being d follower of Christ We have a right to glory in the name. but there is charac- ter which should go with the name; otherwise the name is a mockery. What is that character? In what way does the Christian differ from the non-Christian? As Christ put it, What do ye more than 1 others?' Are you different from the men of the world in your desires, in your treatment of your fellow men? Are you different in your modes of enjoyment? Are you different in the way you spend your money? Do you love only those who love you? Do you love your enemies? Do | you do good to them that hate you? I These are the home questions that Jesus is addressing to you today.
 Treatment of Friends. i
 First, how are you treating your | brethren in social way? By that mean in your evenings and in the tines | when you are away from the store and l can do as you choose You are att lib- l erty to select your own friends You in- 1 vite to your home those whom you wish | to invite.

 DIR. TALMACE'S SERMON
 BY THE REV FRANK DEWITT TALMAGE, D. D.

friends? Are your principles in this mat ter different from those that guide the ac- tions of the man of the world? Is your chief idea to make friends with those
 whom you can help, or do you simply make friends of those whose association is likely to benefit you? This is a very vital question for you to decide, for you have the character of Christian to maintain.
 The ability to make friends and hold them to you in viselke grip is a great art. The more I see those who have mas tered this art the more I am impressed with the fact that the essentials of mak- ing friends rest not in a big house or in large bank account, but in the magic touch of a hand and in the persuasive power of voice. As I was thinking upon this subject the other day, there rose up before my mind the face of lady who is a friend of every one she knows. Now, this lady is not handsome in physical beauty. Far from that. No artist would ever select her for a model She is not wealthy. She lives in a humble home of only few rooms. Where you spend dollars she has only nickels to spend She is not a musical genius. She can neither sing nor speak from a platform nor write poetic effusions. Her clothes may once have been in style, but fer the most part they have gone through the wear and tear of two or three winters. Yet wherever that lady goes she always makes friends. These friends belong to all classes of people. The rich and the poor alike come to her home. No man. sion is so grand that she is not given Q cordial welcome in it. No home is so humble that her presence is not cheer fully greeted in it. She is a past master in the art of making friends. As the mag net places the steel filings under it's magic influence, so this gentle lady grips the hearts of those around her in bonds of sincere affection This is a wonderful art, and we may all exercise it and all have 1t in some degree. For whom have you reserved your sweetest smiles and your most tender words of endearment? Is it for those only who are able to help you? Is your smile and your affectionate word only the prompting of incarnate selfishness?
 Barefooted at Sunday School.
 Would that in your social capacity you could live for the glory of God, There is beautiful story told about the sa- nous Judge Carter of New England. When lle was a young lawyer he was living in Maine. He and his wife at that time were energetically devoted to Sunday school work But try as he would he could not bring into the Sunday school some of the poorer children. Their par ents did not have money enough to buy shoes for their children. and they did not want the feelings of the little ones to be hurt by being the only shoeless children in the school. So Judge Carter thought the matter out. He went to his own boys and girls and said: Children. 1 would like you to go barefooted to Sunday school. If Is not to save tue shoes and

The Sin of the MonopoIist. But though the evils of these trust monopolies may be all that you depict, answer me this question: Suppose that today one of these trust magnates should
 offer to give you stock in his company
 worth s200.000. would you take it? Then
 suppose this stock paid an annual divi-
 dend of 90 per cent, would you at once
 dispose of it because it was made out
 of the wreck of other fortunes? Or take
 another Illustrations: Suppose next Sun
 day morning by breaking the laws of
 the Sabbath day you could sell a piece
 of real estate and make $500 on the
 deal, would you stay away from the
 house of God in order to do it? How is
 your life different in a financial way
 from that of the man of the world? If you could make enough money thereby
 would you not be willing to compromise your public pledges to your Lord Jesus Christ?
 But there is another question I wish to ask: What are you doing as a Chris tian patriot? How are you different from the men of the world in this respect? Are d social organism whose business it is to protect you and care for you and bene- fit you, or are you thinking of it and planning for 1t as a great Christian gov ernrnent which can protect all it's own and be a mighty international power which can help draw all the human race to Christ?
 The Asiatic Question.
 Even from the standpoint of the na- tion you can honor dishonor the cross of Christ. Take, for instance, the Asi- atic immigration question. which is up- heaving the Pacific coast. And, mark you. I am not today simply alluding to the Asiatic immigration into the Unit ed States only, for Canada is in the same crisis. Stop the Japanese and Chinamen and Hindoos coming into Vancouver." cry the British colonists. "Stop those Japanese and Chinamen coming into the Golden Gate." cry Washington and Ore gon and California Why, why, why stop them? "Oh." answers the Caucasian race, they will overrun us like rats. They will crowd our laborcrs to the wall. This is a white mans country. to be in habited only by white men. But Is this a white mans country to be saved only by white men? What do you think Jesus Christ would say if he were asked about this immigration problem? Do you be- lieve He would say: Send your mer- England and Germany and France and America. Fight among yourselves for the Asiatic trade, but keep all the yellow skinned Asatics out of your own lands"
 Come. let me put this question in an- ! other way.

Gods service and have them do what that young woman is going to do2"
 Oh, my friends, 1t is so easy to cry in holy raptures over the sacrifices Chris tian heroes and heroines have made for the Master, but the great question for us to decide is, How arc we different from the men of the world fin our ambitions and hopes for our children? Are we really different in our households from the publicans and the Pharsees?
 Becoming Christian is something more than merely signing your name upon the church roll It means this: Are you willing in the home, in the store in your patriotism and In your social intercourse with your fellow men abso- lutely to surrender your life to Christ and live first and last and all the time for His glory and the good of man kind? That is very wide, sweeping promise to make, but that is what Christ wants you to do. Arc you ready to make your public profession amount to some- thing? Are you ready to make it amount to something now?
