Net is washed in +-ie same manner
as common lace. and also stiffened in
hot water starch; but as net is so
thin. it does not take the stiffening
readily and must in consequence be
put into fairly thick starch. For thin
nets boiling water starch is used.
The net is dried, dampened, and

carefully ironed to the width, as it has
a great tendency to draw to the length

A Practice to Quit.

1t makes us sick to see so many
farmers burning off grass. broom
sedge, corn stalks, and all sorts Of
matter that would rot quickly and
build up our waste lands. Turn out
an old field and Nature tries to build
it up by putting humus vegetable
matter) into it again, and yet after
she does hard years work, some
unthinking farm hand comes along,
burns It all up, and the land is in
worse shape than before. When shall
we quit such things?-Progressive

One of the Greatest Faults.

One of the greatest faults in the
South is the patching Of the land, a
plot of cultivated land here and a
bunch of bushes there. with broom
sedge intermingled. Here in Mary
land there are broad clean fields and
not bush to be seen, but every foot
of the open ground cultivated, and
worked with no terraces and no gull
lies, for the plow goes deep, and the
farmers have a clover sod to turn
when breaking for corn, and either
wheat or clover on the land in win,

Is among the most sacred functions OF
existence. In this life alone its rs-

Much the larger share, of human

He who does not love God cannot

If any husband denies these, or worse

glorious gift. There is good for the

There Is spirituality for the spiritual,

feeding value of at least $40 per ton
compared with wheat bran at its
ordinary price in the South it is worth
nearer s20-and three-fourths of the
manurial value can be returned to
the soil after it is fed. This means
that, at a low estimate, ton of well

Healing Of the Mind.

know man who, though busily
and extensively engaged in Christian
service, was for long defeated IN his
thought life. The evil word ard act
were checked, but he could not pre-
vent his thoughts from ranging over
forbidden fields, and consequently he
was brought into inward bondage and
despair. One night, at the close of a
service, as the congregation sang the
well known words:
aJust as ], am, poor, wretched, blind,
Sight, riches, healing Of the mind,
Yea, all need in Thee to find,
0 Lamb of God, come"
the thought broke upon him, and he
saw that what he needed most Of all
was such healing Of the mind as
that unto which Christ pledges Him
self. Falling upon his knees he cried
as he had never done before:
20 Lamb of Cod, I come!"
And his testimony is that Christ
brought him that night into an atti-
tude of new surrender and enabled
him to exercise new faith, claiming
this promise which has constantly
been fulfilled to him: s"The peace OF
God shall guard your heart and your
thoughts" ."-J. Stuart HoldcA.

THE Increased Need of Spraying.

The Increased Need of Spraying.
observant farmers have generally
concluded that all sorts of injurious
insects and fungus diseases appear
much more common that formerly,
and in some sections fruit growing
and the production of many other
crops have been almost abandoned
because Of the impossibility of pro-
ducing satisfactory crop on account
of these diseases and the ravages Of
insects. In some instances new dis
eases and insects have actually been
introduced, while in others conditions
have been such as to favor the in
crease and spread Of old enemies
which formerly did very little harm.
Our lack of proper crop rotation,
more extensive traffic in farm pro-
ducts, the destruction of other plants
upon which insects formerly fed, and
the ruthless slaughter of song and
game birds, which Is still going on,
have all combined to increase the
rayages of these enemies to farm
crops. If a crop which furnishes
suitable food for an insect is grown
year after year on the same land this
insect has furnished for it the great
est aid for rapid increase in numbers.
Without discussing fully the causes
of present conditions 1t may be stated
that to grow good fruit and many 9TH
er crops. profitably, spraying is now
a necessity.-Prof. Soule.

be plowed, check it with broad
pointed shovel plow, with burrows
FIVE feet by five feet. Two men can
plant to advantage. One man with a
mattock makes hole every five feet
at the crossing Of the burrows; the
other carries the plants in a basket
hung over his shoulder, places the
plant In the hole, covers the roots and
presses the earth tight around the
roots with his feet. Roots should be
spread out in the hole as much as
possible when planted. When the
land cannot be checked with plow,
poles placed at each end Of the field
can be used for marking, and the
holes dug with mattock in line
between the poles, and the rows can
be hept straight in one direction by
means of them, while the distance
can be stepped In the other. In fields
which are partly stocked with cedar,
sassafras, pine or other trees. only
the blanks or thin places need be
planted, the planted trees being
spaced about five feet apart in holes
dug with a mattock. Red oaks can
be planted among. sassafras sprouts,
and If the sprouts are not too thick
the oaks will soon outgrow them.
When two species are mixed in a
plantation they should be alternated
in the rows.
Time to Plant-Planting can be
done in any mild weather after No
vember l., but it is preferable to do
1t during. February and March, espe-.
cially in the case of pine. It costs
too much to cultivate trees after they
are planted, and for this reason the
larger specimens should be planted
in the grassiest and weediest spots,
since small specimens might be
smothered' by such growth. Planta-
tions of trees must not be burned,
and cattle must be kept out until the
trees are so tall and strong that cat
tie cannot break them.-North Caro-
