it is in all older countries where one

of these enemies. But after all, he

TRUCKING FOR PROFIT.
BY John w. Day.

by Jonn w. DAY.
Any man who is a good farmer or
agrculturist can make a good horti-
cuturist or trucker. He must have a
very good, or thorough knowledge by
practical experience, how and when to
prepare soils and cultivate his crop.
He must know the nature and require
ments and needs of his soils for different
crops. For instance, cukes and all of
the vine tribe need lighter soils for a
perfect success; while Strawberries, cab
bage and many other crops need a rich
clay loan.
We find the trucking business pretty
badly overdone at present. There is a
combination of circumstances which
causes this, that seldom ever come. The
high prices of two or three years ago, of
fruits and vegetables, caused by a gen
eral prosperity, stimulated the trucking
business; caused q heavy increase in
acreage. The invasion OF the boil weevil
and the undcrconsumption caused by the

SERMONETTE.
The good mon do lives afte

The good mon do lives after
them.
This trite saying is ever true.
The recorder of the deeds Of the
Maccabees has this to say OF
the record which Judas, who be-
came the leader after tho death
of his father, left behind him:
"He gat his people great
honor, and put on breast-plate
as a giant, and girt his warlike
harness about him, and he made
battles, protecting the host
with his sword.
an his acts he was like a
lion, like a lions whelp, roaring
for his prey.
"For he pursued the wicked,
and sought them out, and burnt
up those that vexed his people.
Wherefore the wicked shrunk
! from fear Of him, and all the
workers of iniquity were trou-
! bIed, because salvation pros
pered In his hand.
"He grieved also many kings,
and made Jacob glad with his
acts, and his memorial is blessed
forever.
5 "Moreover, he went through
the cities Of Juda, destroying the
8 ungodly out of them, and turn
ing away wrath from Israel.
, $50 that he was renowned
unto the utmost part of the
, earth, and he received unto him
such as were ready to perish"
, We find the faith and strength
of character of the man re-
. veaIed in his words at the mo-
ment when his small and ILL.,
] equipped army was about to
3 flee before the overwhelming
z hosts of the enemy. He said:
8 st is no hard matter for the
= many to be shut up in the hands
5 of the few; and with the God
of heaven 1t is all one, to de-
8 liver with a great multitude or
! small company; for the VIC
tory of battle standeth in the
Y multitude of the host: but
: strength cometh from Heaven.
They come against us in much
5 pride and iniquity to destroy US,
and our wives and our children,
, and to spoil US. But we fight
for our lives and our laws.
= Wherefore the Lord himself
will overthrow them before our
: face. And as for you, be ye not
afraid of them."
