Delight Of Service.

Religion is good in theory, but better
in practice. For the practice of religion
takes in the other person. A man may
be sound on theory Of religions and
not be religious man, but he has to
be religious If he is sound on the
practice Of it.
The best proof of religion is in SER
vice. Not in attending services, but in
rendering service for others in the name
Of Jesus Christ. John Burns, now q
British cabinet minister, said a short
time ago that Service for Others brings
delight that neither golf, cricket, foot
ball, racing, nor material wealth can
give" It is far and away ahead Of
anything that has it's roots in selfish
ness. 1t has in it the spirit Of Jesus,
and that lifts 1t above things that are
the fruit Of earthly motive.
Test your religion by service. Ifit
cannot meet that test it is fit only to be
cast out and trodden under foot of men.

ate since 1876, with the exception
of three years when he was in the
cabinet of President Arthur. Sena-
tor Platt of New York is also miss
Ing, and few tears will be shed on
his account. The Senate is dis
tinctly less interesting because of
the absence of Senator Foraker of
Ohio. although in his case also
there are some who will not mourn
his departure. Perhaps the most
conspicuous representative to retire
is Congressman Hepburn of Iowa,
who has been twenty-five years in
the House. J. Adam Bede of Min
nesota and Bourke Cochran of New
York are departing members who
have contributed to the zest of con-
sressional debates, Bede by his
power to illuminate discussions with
cheerful stories. and Cochran by
his mastery Of the old and almost

For years we have advised our Colo.
rado farmers not to seed alfalfa With a
grain crop as was the old custom and
last year We tried little experiment
on our own hook. "A piece Of land ives
seeded down to alfalfa, using oats as a
nurse crop. Adjoining was an equal
tract seeded In alfalfa alone. The diff
ference In the development Of the al
falfa in the two fields was very striking.
That in pure alfalfa was about eighteen
inches high, being Of the usual height
and Development. That planted with
the nurse crop was notjceably thinner
on the ground, generally not more than
eight inches high varying down to not
more than two inches and little devel-
oped generally. In the pure culture
the roots extended downward to a
depth of about two feet aud sometimes
deeper. The roots of the alfalfa planted
with oats generally extended down
from two to six inches. 1t is evident
that deep rooted plants like those in
straight alfalfa can stand drouth longer
than can shallow-rooted plants, like
those grown with nurse crops even if
all other conditions Of vigor Of growth
are equal We have come to the un-
derstanding that in this. dry climate
alfalfa needs all the moisture 1t can
get to propitiate the best development
and that nothing is gained BY seeding
it with grain.
