ONION,


onion. Eastern onion growers use the
red and white Southport Globes to
produce the exceptionally large, solid,
beautifully formed bulbs that bring top
prices in the New York City markets.
Besides the two varieties named,
there is yellow Southport Globe that
resembles the others in shape and gen.
eral character, but is Of a rich yellow
color.
The white is one of those beautifully
white, perfectly globe shaped onions
that take the eye and bring highest
price in any market. It's skin is thin
and paperlike, the flesh fine grained,
crisp and mild favored. Add to this
that it is tremendous cropper, and it
represents almost an ideal product in
it's line.

A Connecticut farmer is reported to
use the incubator system in starting
his potato crop. The seed potatoes are
placed in warm room in rack, where
they sprout, and are then transplanted
in the field.
A story comes from Washington, Pa,
that farmer has sheep-killing horse.
The animal was seen to rush into the
flock, trample sheep to death, pick
it up in its teeth and carry it out. The
performance was repeated until the

GOING TO THE FATHER.
By Cyrus Townsend Brady.

go to the Father.-St John xvi 16
Five times, including once parenthet-
ically, did Jesus declare in His last dis
course to His disciples in the upper
chamber before His betrayal that He
was going to His Father. The circum-
stances of the delivery Of these words
of farewell were peculiar. The disci-
pies, inadequate as was their anticipa-
ton Of wat was toward, were yet fill
ed with forebodings of disaster. Being
human and not realizing all that was
involved. there must have been in their
minds a leaven of hope. These things
that they vaguely dreaded could not
occur. Something would happen; some
power would intervene; they should yet
see the Messiah triumphant on a throne

Attitude of Some southerners.

A curious and striking Illustration OF
the attitude of some Southerners OF
to-day toward the Union comes from
Dallas, Texas. A sham battle had
been planned as a part of the attrac
ton of an agricultural fair. The par
ticipants on one side were to be the
Confederate Guards, an organization OF
Civil War veterans, and on the other
a body of the National Guard. The
commander Of the Confederate forces
Informed those in charge of the plans
that on no account would his troops
take part if the national guardsmen
used the American flag. "We will not
fire on the Stars and Stripes even in
sham battle We stopped doing that
in 1865" he declared. This is the
spirit that prompts the patriotic dis
putes among boys who are planning
n battle Of the Revolutionary War:
"Well, who's going to be the British!

being in back of the pivoted point. The
forward end of the box is normally
held in position by a lever directly be-

dump the load the driver turns in his

thus not compelled to leave his seat,

SHORT METER SERMONS.

Prosperity is stiff test of piety.
Picked piety is bound to give some
body pain.
You never will find faith by running
away from facts.
Revenge is never so sweet as when
we refuse to entertain it.

of those who are to be led.

rather than a cross. Yet their hearts
were doubtless heavy with premonitions
of despair as they listened. There was
no vagueness about Jesus grasp of the
situation. He knew that He would
have to drain the cup to the dregs. 1t
was even then at His lips. Yet He
did not allow this knowledge to over
whelm Him. He agonized in the gar
den and on the cross, but He never alb
solutely and entirely gave way.
l like to believe that one Of the
thoughts which sustained Him in that
hour was that, no matter how terrible
the way, how long the via dolorosa, how
awful the gateway of the cross at the
end. He was going to the Father. 1t
seems to add the divinest and sweetest
touch to His humanity when we think
that this was in His mind when He
repeated again and again that simple
statement His work was almost over,
although it's most terrible hours were
to come, although it's greatest demand
was to be met; yet there was light at
the end, for He was going to the Faith
er. He could not refrain as a man
from telling the disciples that over and
over.
How the mind of Joseph, lord of low
er and upper Egypt, the vice regent OF
the world, went back to that old man
his father in Palestine. How the mind
of that young spendthrift, whose name
is a synonym for prodigal1ty and lila
disrespect turned from his place with
the swine to his father, standing on the
hill and looking down the long roaC
waiting for his boys return; how the
mind Of man turns to his earthly fath'
err: we hear a great deal about moth
ers fathers have place in our attec
lions, have they not?
Jesus went to His Father; the prod
igal went also to his father, so we may
go to our Father which art in heaven
There is this difference between oui
going and Christ's going. He Went
alone, save that the Father was With
Him. When we go now the Father Is
with us in His love and Jesus is with
1s in His brotherhood. We cannot sc
alone. And there is no experience
which we can go through in our pro-
gress toward the Father which is not
exceeded in bitterness by that through
which our Savior passed. Because OF
Him anybody and everybody can go to
the Father, except the willful, persist
ent. determined sinner.
You can go to the Father with the
guilt of murder on your soul, but you
cannot go to the Father with the spirit
of anger in your heart. You can go tc
Him red-handed if you go to Him re
pentant, and through Christ you car
90 to Him regenerated and redeemed
You will have to pay the penalty fol
vour actions here, but if you are spirit
nally changed the payment here is all
that will be exacted SO that every
human being who desires can look for
ward to his hour of trial as well as
in his day of triumph to welcome
from the Father.
Though your sins be as scarlet, they
shall be as white as snow; though they
be red like crimson, they shall be as

Acquire Bravery.

acquire bravery
81 would like to let young men
know" said an old soldier, that BRAY
cry, like almost any other attribute,
can be acquired. l would like to let
them know this, because there are some
DOOR fellows who are brought into the
world with a timid nature that causes
them much suffering. While having
an admiration for brave men, they feel
that they are towards, and, accustom-
ing themselves to this belief, they never
attempt to fight against their weak
ness. Do you know l really believe
that most of the noted brave men of
the world have become brave simply
by Systematically overcoming coward
ice. Did not LanneS, NapOleons most
dashing general, say: The man who
says he never felt fear is a poltroon
and q liar But while LanneS thus ac-
knowledged to the sensation Of fear, he
never allowed himself to show it, and
that is the point. Moreover by prae-
tice such things become easy. Now,
if there is any young man who is
cOWdEu dIlI WIouSo W OSNOAlAC III - - 49,
me say this to him: Make up your
mind first of all that it is much prefer
able to suffer death than to be tram
pied upon or Inundated. From what
you have experienced you know the
disgust. the suffering, acute and degrad-
ing, that results when you back down
in an unmanly fashion. Say this, then,
I much prefer to die than to expert
ence such feelings again. Impress it
upon your mind, and then, as test
to your spirit, force yourself to face
those things that you have been avoid
ing from fright. If a man has been
overawing you, blutfing you, in plain
terms, lay for him deliberately, bluff
him back double, and if he wishes to
fight, throw yourself upon him with
a vim and punch hard; he cannot do
more than kill you; and, as you have
made up your mind that it is better to
die than to submit to humiliation, your
death, as it were, is a thing already
programmed And, if you whip him,
the sensation is very agreeable and
frees you from any further fears of
falling a victim to cOWardice. New

One of the crowd Of foragers hung
about Rousseau's cook tent that night
long enough to learn that their mutton
was to go to the generals mess. The
next day the same batch of foragers
were again caught with a large, fat
sheep, well dressed. This time the gen.
eral scolded them savagely and threat
ened them with dire trouble If they
killed another sheep. AS on the pre-
vious occasion the mutton was sent to
the generals mess and eaten by him
and his staff. A few days later, when
Rousseau and some friends rode
through camp the men in Ford's COM
pany barked like so many Newfound-
land dogs. 1t nettled the Kentuckian,
and he demanded Of the captain to
know what it meant.
Il can't tell you, general"
''Then call out one of your men and
let me question him.
One of the foragers was trotted out
What do you mean by barking as
l came into this camp. Tell me the

Eyes, but what has that to do with

For half minute the proud-spirited
Kentuckfan looked hard at the man.
Then he laughed and rode away.
