Lime-SuIphur-SaIt Wash.

From experiments carried on with
chemically pure lime and sulphur, it
appears to the author of government
bulletin that solid sulphur is not dis
solved by boiling fifteen minutes, but
that the best results are obtained by
boiling from forty-five to sixty min
utes. A boiling period of one hour
is sufficient to dissolve nearly all of
the sulphur, but the thiosulphates are
somewhat increased by longer period.
Salt apparently has no influence
upon the composition of the wash in
so far as the sulphur compounds are
concerned. The slight differences In
the composition Of the wash, as used
by different Investigators, have little or
no influence upon the time required
for boiling When lime and sulphur
are used in equal quantities there is
more than enough lime to dissolve the
sulphur These substances may be
used in the proportion of one pound Of
lime to one and one-quarter pounds of
sulphur. About twenty-five pounds of
sulphur to fifty gallons is a maximum
quantity.
1t appears that the use of air-slaked
lime has no influence on the compo-
sition of the wash, and that there is
likewise practically no difference IN
composition whether flowers of sui
phur or flour of sulphur is used. De
tailed notes are also given on the COM
position Of lime sulphur wash with
particular reference to the different
kinds of sulphur compounds. 1t Is
found that not all of the sulphur is
dissolved by the heat generated by
caustic soda, but the suggestion IS
made that wash containing ten
pounds of caustic soda and nineteen
pounds Of sulphur per fifty gallons Of
water without lime may give satisfac-
tory results.

Every man has within himself the
power to change his mental dwelling
place. The normal man has power to
direct his thoughts as he has power to
direct his hand. By the exercise of
such power he may win success, char
acter and righteousness.
The mind is master of the body Ex-
pertinent demonstrates that thought
pumps the blood into the head or hands
or feet according as one directs his
mind, and that emotions, controllable
by the will, may refresh or poison the
physical system as they are good or
bad.
Paul has given US not only the secret
of health, but the secret of happiness.
Not the dwelling place of the body,
but the dwelling place of the thoughts,
determines whether ones life shall be
filled with joy or with misery. Some

other cause whatever.
Life is full of splendid opportunitie
for the man who will seize them, and
all the forces of the universe help on
the man whose mind dwells in faith
and courage and confidence and indom-
liable hope: and all the forces of the
universe set against the man who
dwells in a mental atmosphere Of
doubt and dependency, suspicion Of
himself and his fellow man.
Finally, Thought means comfort.
What you do depends upon what you
think. Conduct is first in the mind
afterward in the body. Beware of
wrong thinking. Beware of holding
evil pictures before the imagination.
Do not play with evil even in your
thoughts, for what you think will reg
lister itself ultimately and inevitably
in what you do.
On the other hand, one can overcome
all the evils with which his inner life
is beset by exercising the will in the
direction of right thinking If you
would do the things you ought to do
and leave undone the things you ought
not to do, then look to your thoughts
and in whatsoever things are true,
honest just, pure, lovely, attractive,
virtuous, honorable, there let your
thoughts dwell.

PARABLE OF THE VINEYARD.
By Rev. n. R. Farmingto
,Taxt-T51ke % :9-19

TeXt-Luke 20 :9-19.
There is no being whose claims are
so little understood by men as the
claims of God. When the conduct OF
men towards Coo is represented IN
parable. we can see better it's ingratl-
tude and treachery. Everyone Will adj
mit that the Lord Of the vineyard had
q right to demand it's fruits. And COD
has a right to our obedience and our
love To him we owe all We enjoy,
and the very power Of enjoyment comes
from him.
Christians who look back on their
DAYS of rebellion perceive that they
were fast growing from bad 20 worse.
There was some fear Of evil in early
Youth which was lost as they grew
older in sin. When the Savior had
concluded his parable, he declared the
punishment the lord would inhict on
the husbandmen. "He will come and
destroy these husbandmen, and shall
give the vineyard to others NOW
This nroDhecy was intended as warn
ing to the Jews, who had prosecuted
Gods servants the prophets. and who
were now plotting the death OF the
Son of God. The people understood
that this warning was for them. III
they had been as anxious to avoid sin
as they were to avoid suffering they
would have escaped this punishment.
Jesus now changed the figure from a
vineyard to a building, and he quoted,
'"The stone which the builders rejected,
the same is become the head OF the
corner" These words are full OF
severity and awful forebOding for all
the rejecters of Christ. He was the
Stone given by God as sure founda-
tiou upon which we might build. But
we can spurn and reject this Stone, but
if is to our own hurt He is either the
Rock on which we build or else he is
- Stone of stumbling" ut shall
grind him to powder" The blessed
Savior. who might, like stone, be
s11nport and defense, will become, If
we refuse to believe in him, the lnstru-
ment of our destruction.
These Jews were rejecting builders
upon whom. after few years OF
GRACE 1.-THE Stone" fell and ground to
powder. Away in lonely Highland
valley there lies huge rock that has
fallen from the face of tall black
cliff. shepherd was passing beneath
if and suddenly, when the figure OF
Gods will touched it, it came down,
leaping and bounding, and it fell; and
the man that was beneath 1t Is there
now. ground to powder" That Is
Fyhrist's illustration of his rejecters.
Make him the foundation on which you
build. and you will be safe.

Plague of Field Mice.

The apple belt Of Maine is suffering
from visitation of field mice, which
have devastated the orchards, so that
it will require several years Of careful
nursing before the apple crop will be
I'D to standard. These animals are SO
tiny that it seems impossible that they
could cause so much damage, but the
seriousness of them is due not to their
size but their numbers They have
been allowed to multiply very rapidly
in the past few years by the destruc-
ton of their natural enemies, the
crows, jays, shrikes, owls and hawks.
These birds have been killed off in
great numbers by the farmers because
of the damage they are supposed to do
the crops and in thus disturbing ma
lures balance the farmers have
brought down upon themselves an
equally If not more serious trouble.
The mice attack the fruit trees,
gnawing the bark from the base, so
that the tree is seriously injured and
often killed. The State agricultural
experts are working on the problem,
but they are unable to offer any solu-
ton, except that of protecting the nat
ural enemies of the mice. Poisoning is
not successful, for the reason that
other animals are destroyed at the
same time.

Selecting Mich Cows.

That one COW can be made to do the
work OF two has been found to be
easily accomplished by the selection of
the best individuals. A Vermont dairy
man, whose cows produced 100 pounds
of butter each per year, has succeed
ed in getting 200 pounds per year from
each cow in the herd. Dairymen In
other sections have done fully as well.
1t is claimed that if one COW gives
as much as formerly did two, there
is a saving in stable room, labor and
care. This cannot be accomplished,
however, unless the cows are reared
on the farm, or purchased from i'm
proved breeds. Feed, of course, is
an important matter, also, but a good
COW will give more product from the
food eaten than will an inferior COW

Responsible for the General.

That the battle field was not the only
scene of personal danger to General
Grant Is shown by the following oc-
currence, taken from Rear-Admiral
Ammen's "Old Navy and New" AS a
small boy the Admiral was near
neighbor Of the little General, and the
two lads were comrades in the outdoor
world of youthful adventure. Ammen
was about 10 years Of age, and Grant
two years younger, when one day the
two went fishing.
The small stream was much swollen
with rain, swift and turbid. A large
poplar log offered a tempting seat as
it projected over the water, and Grant
scrambled out upon it, He lost his bal
ance and fell. head first, into the rapid
" flowing muddy stream.
Ammen had but second for
thought, but he grasped the situation
instantly. He ran down the stream
for a few yards to where the banks
narrowed and a wiIlow-tree dropped
low over the water. With the celebrity
of boy he made his way out into the
overhanging tree, and when his COM
panion was borne in reach, grabbed
him and drew him out of the water.
Fifty years later General Grant
wrote to Admiral Ammen:
1--WE breakfasted the other day with
Admiral Leroy and saw all the Off
GERS. They seem a nice set Of young
STEERS. It would be pleasant to you to
hear how they all spoke of you. Of
course I told them that l owed you an
old grudge as being responsible for all
the trials and difficulties | had passed
through in the last half-century, for
nearly that length Of time has passed
since YOU rescued me from a watery
grave. I am Of a forgiving nature,
however, and forgive you, but is the
feeling universal?"
The AppOmattox Apple Tree.
Perhaps three-fourths Of the people
of this country believe that the final
surrender in the war of the Rebellion,
that of General Lee to General Grant,
took place under an apple-tree at Apo
mattox, Va. 1t did take place at Apo
mattox. but not under an apple-tree.
Here is what General Grant says about
it in his Memoirs: Wars produce
MANY stories of fiction, some of which
are told until they are believed to be
true. The story Of the apple-tree is one
of those fictions, based on a slight
foundation of fact. AS l have said,
there was an apple orchard on the side
of the hill occupied by the Confederate
forces. Running diagonally up the hill
was a wagon-road, which, st one point,
ran very near one Of the trees, so that
the wheels of vehicles had, on that
side, cut off the roots of this tree, leav-
ing little embankment. General Bah
cock, Of my staff, reported to me that
when he first met General Lee, the
General was sitting on this embank-
ment, with his feet in the road below,
and his back resting against this tree.
The story has no other foundation than
that" The surrender was made in the
house of a Mr. Mclean, on the morning
of April 9, 1865.
