Special Prize for Boys Club.

DR.. S. A. Knapp of the department
of agriculture at Washington, who has
charge of the farmers cooperative
demonstration work in the south, has
offered special prize to the winner
in the Boys Corn club contest in Mis-
sissippi-same being free trip to the
city of Washington, with all expenses
paid.
In addition to this DR.. Knapp will
obligate himself to purchase as much
as % bushels of the corn which wins
the first and second prizes in the Mis-.
sissippi contest.
No previous farmers movement has
ever attained such prominence and
favor in this state, as has the Boys
Corn club. There are now about 5000
members of these clubs, and in most
of the counties where the clubs have
been organized valuable special prizes
have been offered, and the boys have
gone to work with a vengeance to
make more than 100 bushels of corn
per acre. The winner last year was a
Newton county boy who produced 139
bushels on one acre-more than his
father or grandfather ever dreamed
possible, and convincing all his neigh.
bors that Mississippi is just as good
corn-growing state as any of them,
when science is mixed with common
sense and muscle.

THE STORY.

MO HAPPIER or more comfortable
~ home was to be found in all Nine.
veh than that of Tobias and his wife
Sara. To them six sons had been
born, and the aged father Tobit had
laid his hand of blessing upon each
head, and had been permitted to see
each boy well started on the road to
manhood. The aged Anna was living.
too, and no more contented and peace
full family circle could be found than
was made up of this aged and cody
man Tobit, his wife, their son Tobias,
his wife Sara, and their six sons.
Many was the time that the old
man ran back in memory to the day
years before when with tears stream
ing from the eyes which saw naught
he had babe farewell to his son as
he had started off on that long Jour
ney after the wealth he had left in
Media. How good the years had been
since then. At that time he had
never expected to live to embrace his
son again, and now, 10 and behold,
with recovered sight he had seen his
son established in his own home and
grandchildren about his knee. Those
had been prosperous years. The good
ly portion of wealth with which To-
bias had returned to the city and had
placed in his fathers hands had null
tiplied abundantly, and not only had
they been able to help the Jews in
distress, but had accumulated a COM
Portable competence, SO that Tobit and
his son Tobias were among those of
the city of Nineyeh possessed of
wealth
But the great prosperity of the later
years had not turned the heart of IA
theE or SON away from the God of Is
rssl, and Tobit, the father, found new
ana fresh delight in going over and
over the parchments of the sacred
writings which he had in his posses
sion, for he was a man of learning
and could read and write like a
scribe.
my son." he exclaimed one day,
after he had called Tobias to his
side, ''the day approaches when
shall depart, for am very old. Tarry
not In Nfneveh, for the day approach
9Th when it shall be destroyed
why, father, how can that beg' ex-
stained Tobias IN wondsr; "hN9 some

SERMON

"And now, my son, depart out
OF Nineveh, because that those
things which the prophet Jonah
sPake shall surely come to
pass"
Gods words never fail.
AS man counts time there
seems an endless period be-
tween prophecy ana fulfiIIment,
but at last the Judgment falls
and Scripture is fulfilled.
Here we find a deVout Jew
Of Nineveh certain of great
city's doom because hundreds
and hundreds of years before
GODS prophet had declared that
ultimately the city should be
destroyed.
All around him was gayety
and life, great city, with mas
slVe walls and strong ruler.
Could such place meet destruc-
tion?
Such might have been the
question which reasonably could
have arisen In Tobit's heart.
But when il came to choice
between what appeared to his
outward vision and the express
declaration OF Gods word, ne
believed God, even though he
could not understand or tell
how those things were TO come
to pass.
1t was the cid story of Noah
and the flood. No sign Of the
approaching deIuse, but God
said it would come and II did.
But even though Noah preached
a hundred years to warn the
people Of the Judgment of God,
they turned a deaf ear to the
prophets words and-perished
in the flood.
So probably Tobit sought to
warn at least the people of his
own race In Nineveh, but just
as there were many Jews in Je-
rusalen who needed not the
warning 20 flee and persisted
n1iserabIy in the doomed city, SO
in Nineveh many persisted who
might, like Tobias and his fam
lily, have found safe refuge in
another place.
What lesson for us2 This,
surely: That just as the
warning Of God was spoken to
the doomed city of NineVeh, so
God Is speaking his warnings to
the souls of men to-day. They
may trIfle with this word, but II
cannot delay or prevent the final
fulfiliment. The few will heed
the warning. The many will re-
main in their present condition
and perish.

The Disc Harrow.

For 80 vars I have sown oats and
with two exceptions I have always
reaped an average crop. These ex
ceptions were caused by rust and
chinch bugs. MY time to SOW is in
March, although I have seen good oata
grown from April sowing. If the oats
are clean, and by this I mean free OF
dirt and small grains, two and one.
half bushels per acre is enough, sown
broadcast.
A three-horse disk is used to pre-
pare the soil and cover the oats. Run
but one way and lap the disk one-half.
or double disk. A common road drag
answers very well for crossing tho
burrows made by the disk. It does
not bring to the surface rank weeds
or corn stalks, but presses these into
the soil, making it smooth and level
and leaving nothing in the way ia
hinder the binder.

In the piane az Quiet

Mark tells us that without a par.
able" Jesus did not speak, at one
period at least, unto the Jews, and
that when they were alone, he ex-
pounded all things to his disciples %
There are great advantages at times
in solitude. The soul aloof from man
kind that 1t may be alone with God is
in the way to receive great and inspir.
ing revelations. But the solitude with
God is meant to prepare for the sery.
ice for men, and the things which
Jesus Christ expounds to his own in
the retiracy of the inner circle are
matters which concern active duty in
society as well as individual culture Of

agement of Southern
Woodlands.

That the wise management OF the
forests is regarded by President w.
W. Finley Of the Southern railway as
a necessity in the development OF the
south is strongly brought out in his
recent address to the student body OF
the University of Georgia.
In ny opinion" said President
Finley, the economic Importance OF
the management of our southern for
ests so as to secure from them the
largest present profit consistent with
their preservation cannot be over
estimated In addition to their inf1u-
ence upon stream flow, tending to di-
minish the destructiVeness Of floods
and to maintain higher water for navi-
cation and for the generation Of pow
er in dry seasons, they form the
foundation of our woodworking indus
tries.
Until comparatively recent years
the North Atlantic states predomin-
ated in furniture manufacturing and
other woodworking industries. Tim
Der supplies in that section have been
almost exhausted and these industries
are following the rapidly-receding for
ests into the south and west, greatly
increasing the value of the timber
lands.
IF southern woodworking indus
tries are to thrive in years to come,
they must be assured of a constant
supply of their raw material This
can be brought about only by the
adoption of scientific methods of for
estry by the owners of our wood
lands"

Old Pastures.

Some English experiments with
manuring old hay and pasture land
lead to the conclusions that on heavy
soils phosphate manures alone ara
best and that on light soils the phos.
phoric acid must be augmented by
potash. heterogeneous manures. either
alone or in combination, did not an.
pear profitable. Basic Stag was the
most effective phosphate fertilizer,
probably because Of the large amount
OF lime it contains, which would neu.

lands of the hay and pasture type are
quite often acid.-Country Gentleman,

Cause of Sour Milk.

Sour milk is from a growth of bac
terra. No bacteria, no sour milk. Milk
left at animal temperature will be
sour in II hours. No bacteria will
grow for about six hours if cooled to
70 degrees; then they will make the
milk sour in So hours. When milk is
cooled at so degrees Immediately
after milking, bacteria grow so slow
iy that 1t will remain sweet for four
or five days. But though it may not
sour, some other bacteria have been
growing at this temperature, and will
give bad flavor to the milk. So it is
best to use it before that time-say
not later than the third day. That is
long enough to hold milk for ordinary
use.
