Dry Potatoes for Food.

Consul Frank S. Hannah sends re-
port to the Department of Commerce
and Labor relative to some recent ex-
periments in the drying of potatoes
under the auspices of the German I'M
perial Interior Department, which
may offer a new field for farmers.
The potatoes are reduced by this proc
ess to about one-quarter of their orig
inal weight, and can be kept In a
good condition In this compressed
form for an indefinite length of time.
The military authorities have made
thorough experiments with this prod
uct and have become convinced that
It's nutritious value Is fully equal to
that of corn, and that the dried pota-
toes can take the place of one-third
of the former ration of oats. The fact
that the potatoes are reduced to one
fourth of their original weight brings
about a corresponding reduction in the
price of freight, so that it will pay to
grow more potatoes than has former
ly been the case.-Michigan Farmer.

Live stock is the chief element of
agricultural prosperity. 1t is the foun-
dation upon which both the present
and future profits are established We
boast Of our great wheat and corn
crops, and we have reason for SO
doing, but If we depend upon them
alone we rob ourselves and our chill

soil with each years crop. For many
years the soil will continue to yield
their crops, but they will get poorer
and finally fail unless they are fed

richer instead of poorer; to get the
benefits of the increased crops during
your own lifetime and then leave a

When sitting the hens in order to
keep the lice from bothering them, a
good plan is to fill the nest boxes
with wood shavings, preferably those
that have some odor about them. &C.
dar shavings are excellent and so are
cedar twigs, and the hens will appre-
ciate the nest Of such materials. Lice
are a great drawback to hen when
she Is on the nest, and many times
they compel the sitter to leave her
nest when she does not desire, and if
there is anything the poultryman can
do to keep the sitting hen comfortable
he will be amply repaid for it in the
end. The shavings are inexpensive
and are easily destroyed. They do
not pack hard in the boxes and are
quite comfortable for the hen. Try
some Of them when sitting hen and
see how useful they really are.-Rural

THE COMPASSION OF JESUS.
By Rev. Jason Noble Pi


Text.-"And when the Lord saw her
He had compassion on her and said
unto her, Weep not. Luke 7:1S.
| have taken as my subject this
morning one of the most beautiful
and comforting themes in the Bible.
Briefly but clearly the author of our
Gospel presents the scene: Behold,
there was dead man carried out, the
only son of his mother, and she was
a widow; and much people of the
city was with her"
Of all the helpless ones in Isreal,
she was most helpless. And that was
the very hour the mightiest one In
all Israel drew nigh to the city. Weak
ness and strength; human need and
Divine help; these are never far sep
arated. But will the Divine grace be-
come operative? Will the Saviour
act? when the Lord saw her He
had compassion on her and said unto
her, Weep not" And He came and
touched the bier; and they that bear
him stood still And he said, Young
man, / say to thee, arise. And he
that was dead sat up and began to
speak. And He delivered him unto
Saviour!
Oh, the mighty love of Jesus! 1t
met that dear mother at the gate of
Main and did for her what none in all
the city could do, restore to her her
son. Can any Of you imagine the
wonder and joy unspeakable that came
to her when Jesus delivered him to
her? One of the striking charateris-
tics of the compassion of Jesus is its
inclusiveness 1t makes no bounds.
It goes out to the multitude and to the
Individual, to the stranger as freely
as to the friend, to the Jew and to
the Gentle. His heart went out for
the city and He wept over 1t and
His heart went out to the lone WON
an in need of a Saviour. The one
essential was that there exist grief.
a burden sorrow, and Immediately
His help was forthcoming. Where
the sick were gathered by their
friends, or among the porches by the
pool where the impotent lay, there
was Jesus to bless No custom de
layed Him, no fear for life nor weari.
ness of the flesh restrained Him, but
freely He ministered unto all who
called upon Him.
Nor has He overlooked one. No
one is beyond the reach of His love.
It may have been long ago that you
turned aside from Him and you may
feel that you are indeed stranger
with no claim upon Him. But it is
not so. His compassion is without
bound.

SERMONETTES.

The noblest work often lies nearest
Only putty life is afraid Of being
worn out.
The battle without goes as goes the
battle within.
Duty has a stern face only when
viewed askance.
Gifts to God can never make up fol
thefts from men.
He who honestly seeks to save an
other finds himself.
He never has a message who does
not know how to listen.
The wastes of love bring greater
riches than the wisdom of greed.
Lying lips are none the better for
working in prayer meeting.
Where everyone has an ak te
grind there will be little hewing to
the line.
You cannot become one of the tools
of the Infinite if you flee from His
anvil.

One of the shortest and simplest
methods known for calculating interest
is to multiply the principal by the
number of days and divide as follows:
For per cent, divide by 80.
For 5 per cent, divide by 72.
For per cent, divide by 60.
For Z per cent, divide by 81.
For 8 per cent, divide by As.
Then point off four decimal places
For instance, to find interest on $500
for 90 days at per cent, multiply $3.50
by go, divide by As and point off four
decimal places. The result is $736.

Farmers Must Watch the Crop.
In order to determine what elements
OF plant food are deficient in a soil,
it Is necessary to carefully study the
growing crop. Many farmers seem to
be of the opinion that a chemical
analysis Of the soil will show the
amount Of plant food contained there
in. This, however, is a mistaken idea.
The chemist can only determine ap-
proximately the amount of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash in a soil,
without specifically showing what pro-
portion Of these elements can be taken
up by the growing plant A large per-
centage of these elements is not avail
able to plant food. Hence the neces-
sity for them in an available form.
We must turn, then, to the crop, and
by watching it closely during it's
growth and by careful examination
when matured, see whether the soil is
deficient in plant food and what ele-
ments are lacking.

The Plain Farmer.

Speaking of farmers Institutes, one
man says: Il would like to know
what Is in the mind of the working
farmer in felt boots, who sits in the
back seat" He adds: "A few people
who are good takers praise the work,
but what about the silent ones who
listen and say nothing?"
The Rural New Yorker, comment
ing on these statements, says: THE
institute speakers can not do any
wiser thing than to learn how to en-
courage and keep just this class of
farmers. The retired farmers and sue
cessful men who make up good
share of the audience are we'll able to
take care of themselves. 1t is pleas
ant to entertain them, and their
praise gives a man a thrill Of salts
faction. 1t is a truer service to the
State, however, to gain the confidence
of the plain farmer and help him."
