Getting AlfaIfa started.

A subscriber asks which is the
quickest and best way to get start
of alfalfa-use culture or inoculate
the soil.
Inoculate by all means. This is
the surest way and by far the most
practical, and where the soil responds
to the treatment one may get a good
stand from one seeding. 1t does not
require large amount of dirt to
sufficiently inoculate a field to in
sure stand. Soil taken from an old
clover or alfalfa field is the kind to
use, but II this is not available, hunt
up some sweet clover along the
roadside and use this soil. Alfalfa
responds quickly to these sweet clo-
yer soils. The best way to scatter
dirt is with manure spreader. Put
only a very thin layer over the en-
tire bottom OF the spreader box, and
gear 1t so that the dirt is fed out
slowly. Then disc and cross disc, and
follow with harrow and SOW your
seed. A careful sower can get pretty
good results by sowing broadcast out
OF land, and then cross sow. But
whatever method is used make sure
that the ground Is covered evenly. n
strips are left unseeded weeds soon
appear, and it will take double work
afterwards to get these covered

1t is the greatest foe to missions

Christian Endeavor came to the
Philippines in that splendid society
on Dewey's flagship. the Olympia. It
speedily spread among the Filiplnos,
and 1t is destined to be an important
agent In planting Protestant Chris
tianity In those islands.
There are about 1,725 islands in
the Philippine archipelago, with an
area OF about $4,000 square miles. A
glorious new empire to win for Christ.
The population of the islands is
about eight millions, nearly all of
them Catholics. though, fortunately,
three million are Independent Cath
ollcs. There are 270,000 Mohamme-
dams, $4,000 Buddhists and Confucian-
lists, 100000 Anlmists. A complicated
task for the missionaries!
All the largest denominations, and
several of the smaller ones, hastened
to the Philippines at the close of the
war with Spain, and inaugurated a
second war, with ignorance, supersti-
tion and barbarism.
About $4,000 converts have been
made by our missionaries In the Phil

pei Opportunity. Acts II:
1925. Psa oO


This Is the story of the mission to
Antioch, when the infant church de-
finitely accepted It's call to preach to
the Gentiles. At Antioch the disciples
were first called Christians, and 1t is
likely that the name was given In
contempt and derision.
This theme has to do with one OF
the Oldest of the nations. Its civllza-
tion goes back of the time of Moses;
its literature reached high water mark
before David sang When Homer llv-
cd in Greece China had her ancient
heroes. Printing and paper making,
the manufacture of gun powder and
other arts were known a thousand
years ago "a thorccud years ago
the forefathers or the present Chinese
sold silks to the Romans, and dressed
in these fabrics, when the inhabitants
of the British Isles wore coats of blue
paint and fished In willow canoes"
China is a land of old faiths, curl
ously lntermingled and confused. The
one most distinctive Is Contucianism,
not to be counted in the strict sense
a religion. but a system of conduct
and morals. At its best it is great
preparation for Christianity. Budd-
hism is an imported faith, largely
matter of form and modified from its
Hindoo characteristics, according to
the genius of the Chinese mind.

tenn of illimitable idolatry and terror.

demons and its blind efforts to avert
their vicious influences. All these
faiths have failed, and there is today
throughout the empire a new con-
sci0usness OF their failure.
We are living in the midst OF
China's most amazing transition.
Things which have been considered
permanent for thousands of years
have changed within the memory OF
the youngest member Of the Epworth
League. Here are some indications
Tho time-honored examinations in the
Chinese classics for candidates for
public Office have been abolished. An
interesting article in the Epworth
Herald for October 2S, 1907, will show
what is taking their place. There Is
a general spirit of educational unrest
The age-long love of he Chinese for
education Is taking new forms and
western learning Is being substituted

Getting Better of CommonpIoce

Steady-going goodness is harder
than spectacular heroism. 1t calls for
more endurance and more character
to hold to the highest standards Of
life in the commonplaces of every day
routine than to nerve oneself up for a
single and exceptional effort. The
fye-mile run is more eXhausting than
the 100-yard dash. Yet this pro,
longed and severer test of every daJ
living is the only true test, and 1t Is
the one which we must all meet.
Moreover, the best way to be ready
for the emergency test, when il
comes, is to live through the common
day in the red-letter-day spirit No
day was common to Christ, nor will
it be to those who make every day

| and the depletion in the supply OF
lumber 1t behooves every farmer, who
is fortunate enough to own a piece
of forest land, to follow out def
mite plan in practical forestry. At
this time of the year a great deal
can be done in the way of prolonging
the life of the trees now growing In
the woodland, and more especially
the life of the young and vigorous
ones. The dead, dying and diseased
timber can be cut down and convert
ed into fire wood or sawed into
lengths for fence posts or logs for
the saw mill. BY so doing, the tim
ber that otherwise would 20 to
waste through decay can be readily
turned to some good purpose. The
thinning out of the dead trees allows
more space for the remaining healthy
and vigorous specimens to grow and
develop to advantage. Whenever It
Is necessary to fell O large, healthy
tree the stump should be left high
enough to insure a growth OF Wig
orous sprouts. Chestnut, oak and
hickory are examples OF this class of
trees. Cutting out the under brush
and letting the stronger and more
promising growths of young forest
trees stand to develop into future
timber material is always profitable.
Any attention that may be given to
the wood at this time will be certain
to bring in good returns little later
on.-A. G. r., in the Indiana Farmer.

expect TO see another settlement OF

Ripening Cream.

1t Is very essential in cream ripen-
ing to agitate the cream frequently
to insure uniform ripening. When
cream remains undisturbed for some
time the fat rises in the same way
that 1t does in milk. though in a less
marked degree. The result is that
the upper layers are richer than the
lower and will sour less rapidly,
since the action of the Tactic acid
germs is greater in thin than in rich
cream. This uneven ripening leads
to a poor bodied cream. Instead of
being smooth and glossy, it will ap-
pear coarse and curdy when poured
from a dipper. The Importance of
stirring frequently during ripening
should therefore not be underestimate
