1t has occurred to me to wonder II
there are some spiritual garments quite
out of the reach of common Christians,
The "mantle of charity"-who wears
It? Only few here and there.
Is there any need for us to limit so
our spiritual wardrobe? The Bible says
wonderful deal about dressing. s'Let
your garments be always white"-the
sunshine color, the joy color. There
is fine, close e-fitting suit for all to
wear. "Re ye clothed with humility"
says the apostle. But there are beauti-
full s'thilgs" to wear over 1t, and that
for every day. There is garment OF
praise for holidays and all days. How
the very street would brighten if we
put that or every time we went outl
All these and more we may find
mentioned, as part of a Christians
proper and becoming outfit, but let us
not forget the white, warm, ample
robe of charity. Use your love mantle,
not simple wear it. Let it be large
enough for many hurt soul to creep
under. Let it be warm enough to
make them glad to come. Of a woman
who died lately it was said-as one OF
the minor notes in the friendly chorus
of praising-that she had "such a ten

THR report of Maj. Geothals on
the Panama Canal work Just pub
lished makes quite cheerful read
ing. 1t shows nothing superlative
in the way of work done, but it at
least indicates that the dirt is
really flying and that the canal
will be finished within measure
able time. The excavation has
been calculated on the amount
actually removed from the canal
prism, and not by the cubic con-
tents of the cars moved, whether
the cars were empty or full. This
is little different from Engineer
Stevens method Of calculating,
that is worth bearing in mind.
There was over I,ooo,p 200 cubic
yards of earth eKcavated in the
month Of July, and the work, after
three years is sk per cent COM
pleted. The cost of excavation in
Guiding all expense of sanitation
and administration, has been about
S6. so yard. This would make
the final cost of the canal about
f62I 900, 900. But fortunately the
work is likely to decrease rapidly
in Cost, as it proceeds, More men
and machines are being put at work
all the time, and the record of a
million yards of excavation a
month is likely to be greatly sur
passed before long. Altogether
the prospect is good for the COM
pletion of the canal within between
seven and eight years,

Our general plan for preparing land
for fall wheat is to pillow rs early as
possible six or seven inches deep, but
the later We do the plowipg the more
shallow we do the work. When plow-
ed early the harrow follows immediate
ly, but the ground usually RECEIVES
little further culture until seed time,
when 1t is diskea If necessary and ppt
into good seed-hed condition with the
harrow. II the plawing precedes the
sowing very shortly we usually at
tempt to firm the soil by the use of a
sub-surface packer and harrow. An
ideal seed-bed should be mellow about
as deep as the seed is planted, but
rather firm below that depth, making
good connection with the sub.soil so
that the water may be brought up from
below to supply the terminating seed
and young plantlets. In favorably
moist soil good seed-bed may be pre-
pared by disking and narrowing land
from which a cultivated crop has been
removed. = A. Hoeman, in Denver
