WHERE FALL FLOWING FAILS.
Not Every Sell Is SUITED to Breaking

Much has been said through the col.

you have recommended and urged
more than all Others, namely. fall
piowing and the preservation Of the
humus in the soil by the addition of
stable manure. The methods used
and urged are undoubtedly practical
IN large part Of the west; but in this
particular section, where we have a
light, sandy soil, light rainfall. and
are subject to prolonged wi4dstOrms.
the question is more complicated, or
rather has different complications.
Seven out of every eight of the
fields in this county would be ruined
In three or four years if they were
to be plowed in the fall and narrowed

and early spring winds. know Of
many old fields that will not grow
enough weeds to cover them. and in
many instances are adjoining fields
that have produced more grain and
have been in cultivation for more
years, that are still producing from
20 to 80 bushels of corn and in some
cases as high as 40, bushels.
The difference is all due to the
fact that the one has been repeatedly
left exposed TO the sun and wind.
while the other has been protected by
the stubble, the stalks or weeds. often

plowed, planted to corn, carefully cul-

stock turned in to work the stalks

been busily carrying off the very
cream of the soil on every windy dav

would be repeated.

malady prevents concentration of

ly with the notion that he is being
prosecuted. Many an individual
who IS denominated a crank has
paranoia. In general these unfor-
tunates are misanthropiC, have no
social intercourse with their tel-
lows and are brooding and intro
spective. Very often their mania
leads them to the notion that they
have been born to lead mankind
in a religious way, and they pro-
claim themselves prophets of God.

The ARMY DESERTER.

The most persistently trailed

From the time he is found miss

when a officer of any Of a dozen
different federal and civic denom-
nations lands him in custody he
is criminal marked for punish
ment, and he is shrewd indeed if
he escapes.
"Four-ffths of the deserters are
foreign born and professional army
deserters with bad records left be-
hind them in Europe. These men,
as l understand it, deserted from
armies in the old countries, came
here in search Of work, didn't get
anything to suit them and joined

place, soldier in or out of uni

carriage, with the telltale step and
mannerisms of the service. The
lockstep of the state prison will
wear away because it is only an
incidental of prison life, and the
convict doing time can do it more
or less perfectly, clording to his
inclination and the watchfulness
OF the guard, but the whole lire Of
the soldier is soldering, and he
can never get away from it.

1--WE SHALL SEE HIM."
The Words of John That Stand Out in
Living Light.

Stephen, in the hour of his martyr
dom, looked up into heaven and saw
Jesus, and he sank down amid the
pelting stones like a child hushed to
softest slumber, Jesus will always
break out into view If we look toward
him with longing and expectant trust,
and though we be in the very valley
of the shadow of death we will fear
no evil. To see Jesus will soothe one
in pain, will comfort one in sorrow,
will bring calm in tumult, will allay
doubt, give hope in encouragement,
and in every way invigorate and up
lift the soul as no other experience
can do When hearts are breaking,
and tears are falling, and the light is
gone, to see Jesus is to find true COM
fort; it IS like the breaking forth of
the stars to the traveller lost in the
depths Of wilderness. We can do
nothing better to mitigate the sorrows
and tighten tho burdens of the world
than to help people to see Jesus. John,

The Prophet Haggai.-He was probably

that he had seen the glory of the old
temple before it destruction (see 2:3) and
that he was one Of the very aged exiles
who laid the foundation of the new tenn
pie in tears ezra 3:12). His great mis-
sion was the encouragement of Zerub-
babel, the governor Of Jerusalem, and
Joshua, the high priest, in the rebuilding
Of the temple and in arousing the peo-
pie to their support after the work had
been suspended for IA years In conse-
quence of the counter edict obtained from
Artaxerxes by the Samaritans. The
prophecy is short and condensed and COW
ers the brief period of four months In

youthful Zechariah is moved to second
Haggai's work, but after one brief
prophecy, is silenced. After four weeks
the people became desNondent and COM
pare the new temple with the old. But
Haggai foretells greater glory for the for
mer. Two months later he again rebukes
their slowness, and promises divine favor.
He finally appeals to Zerubbabel as the
heir of the house of David, and predicts
the stability of the kingdom of God
amidst the ruin of temporal sovereign
