Humus Helpful to Soil.

Humus in the soil has seldom been
taken at its full worth. The mission
which it fulflIs is second in impor.
lance only to that which is fulfilled
by the presence of plant food in the
soil. Humus is helpful in keeping soil
In proper mechanical balance, in bind.
ing soils that are much prone to blow,
in increasing the power of soils to alb.
sorb and hold moisture, and in max.
ing more effective the action Of fer.
tilizers, says the Agriculturist.
When the humus is exhausted in q
soil it's mechanical condition suffers.
1t becomes more impacted, less easily
aerated and less easily penetrated by
the roots Of plans. Some soils sc
light as to lift with the wind can be
kept from blowing, at least in a great
measure, by simply keeping them
stored with grass. roots or other vege.
table matter buried in the soil. The
increase in the power of soils to hold
moisture is very great when well
stored with humus. One instance Is
reported from Devils Lake, n. D., in
which timothy sod was broken I'D in
1908. Spring wheat was sown on the
same in the spring of 1909 The diff.
ference was II bushels per acre in ia.
Vor of the timothy sod, as compared
with the other land. The season was
dry, and this, in way, explains the
difference in yield On the timothy
sod it was 10 bushels per acre, and
on the other land it was seven bushels.
When commercial fertilizers are sown
on land they will fail to respond prop,
erly unless the land is supplied with
humus.
Such being the case, every effort
should be made to store the land with
humus. 1t would be possible to have
an excess Of humus, but in practice
this seldom happens Humus may be
put into the soil in the form of clover
roots and the grass roots, of buried
catch crops, barnyard manure.

Beginning with the Piqs.

I begin feeding the pigs as soon as
they will eat with soaked corn and
middlings, says writer in the Bal
timore American. It is well to dea;
out the rations by weight or measure
so as to be on the safe side, and not
overfeed. AS soon as you have, them
used to this give them plenty of bone
and muscle forming food. Milk, mid
dlings, oil meal, tankage and some
corn, with a run on pasture, will give
you a 300-pound pig in eight or nine
months. Get good growth first, and
after five months you can add plenty
of corn, provided you feed other things
with it. l like oil meal for this pur.
pose. By following this method you
can get your hogs onto the early mar.
ket.

THE STORY.

TOBIT, devout Jew, his wife Anna
Il and their little son Tobias were
among those carried away captive out
of the land of Israel into Nineveh.
While on the long journey the Jews
had had things in common, and had
observed their ceremonial laws. but
soon after reaching the great Gentle
city, and the scattering hither and
thither OF the company, each came
face to face with the question as to
the manner of their living.
Why" exclaimed one in response
to Tooit's remonstrance with him that
he must not eat the Gentile's bread.
what is there for us to do but to
get along the best we can? How can
we do otherwise than live as those
about us do? We shall never get
along here If we do not, for we are
apt to give offense by our peculiar Gus
toms, and thou dost well know that
we have had trouble enough already"
What thou sayest may seem wise
to thee, but it is contrary to the law
which God has given his children to
follow, and whatever may come we
cannot with safety do that"
And that evening as he sat and
talked with his wife Anna and related
to her the conversation, he found her
heart responding to the loyal purpose
of his own to serve God in the great
and wicked city of Nineveh, cost
what it would.
Tobit, after many weeks of privation.
at last found place in the household of
the king, Enemessar, and by his
faithfulness won his regard, and was
promoted to the position of purveyor.
This meant prosperity and comfort
to Tobit. his wife Anna and their son
Tobias, and they rejoiced greatly in
the Lord, knowing it was he who had
blessed them in their way and given
them abundance of this worlds goods.
And in his prosperity Tobit forgot
not his poor, oppressed brethren of
the city, but gave literally that their
condition might be improved and the
burdens lightened Did he hear of
any one who was in trouble, he sought
him out and helped him in his dis
tresS- Did any ruthless taskmaster
among the Ninevites abuse his Jew
ish slave he sought to have the poor
unfortunate rescued from his unhappy

Living Unto God,

Eternal life means life that is above
time and all earthly vicissitude. "Eter-
nal' refers to our relation to the foun-
tain of life in God, and the relation
of life to God. This is life eternal,
that they should know thee the only
true God, and him whom thou didst
send, even Jesus Christ" This is our
Lords definition. We are living the
eternal life here and now when we are
living to God, when Gods judgments
are our judgments, when the life Of
God is in US as the spring of all our
life. So we live by the abiding prin-
ciples and unto abiding result.

Christ in the Heart

The risen Christ is the hope of the
believer-Christ, not in the heavens
but in the heart. And this hope we
have as an anchor of the soul, both
sure and steadfast, and which enter
eth into that within the veil. There
is saving power in this hope, for it is
not theory or dogma or experience,
but a divine personality, even Jesus,
the Forerunner, who has for US en-
tered the upper sanctuary, and there
ever hyeth to make intercession for
us, and hath begotten us unto a liv.
ing hope by his Resurrection from ths
dead

Work of Horses Compared.

Suppose we compare the work done
by farm horses abroad with the work
done by farm horses in Pennsylvania.
1t is generally admitted that Penn
sylvania farmer does not average
more than one ton of marketing to
two horses, and he must send one man
with every two horses. Scotch and
English farmers generally put two
tons of marketing on a one-horse cart
and place two of those carts in charge
of one driver. The driver ties one
of these carts behind the other and
walks alongside the first one. Thus
we have an English farmer doing with
one man and two horses the work an
American farmer takes four men and
eight horses to do.

START OF THE COTTON CROP.
Consensus of Opinion Puts About Four
Per Cent. as the Reduction In
Acreage.

The New York Journal of Com
merce, in it's first monthly summary OF
the condition of cotton, says:
This report, the first of the sea-
son, and based on the replies of over
1,500 correspondents of an average
date of April %, is preliminary in char
acter, serving only to show present
tendencies. A reduction of about four
per cent. is the consensus of opinion,
but as planting is only 40 per cent.
completed, and the season nearly ten
days late, final estimates are likely to
change this figure when our June re-
port is issued.
AS a whole, ground has been well
prepared, but slight reduction in
the use of fertilizers is shown as COM
pared with last year. when much more
were used than usual. The high prices
OF provisions and grains have been
the chief reason for many farmers to
provide acreageto small crops and corn
at the expense of cotton, but it is too
late to accurately gauge this move
ment. The boil weevil has created
considerable alarm in Louisiana and
some parts of Mississippi, causing rad
ical contemplated reductions, espe-
cially in Louisiana.
The season is Is days late in Texas
and the crop is 46 per cent. planted.
All other states, with the exception of
Florida, Alabama, Tennessee and Mis-.
surf, contemplate moderate reductions.
The crop in North Carolina is three
days early and "a per cent. planted; In
South Carolina it is three days late
and SIS per cent. planted; In Georgia
six days late and 40 per cent. planted;
in Florida five days early and rs per
cent. planted; in Alabama nine days
late and 80 per cent. planted; in Mis-
sissippi three days late and As per
cent. planted; in Louisiana seven days
late and 81 per cent. planted; in Ten
nessee four days late and is per cent
planted; in Arkansas one day early
and 35 per cent. planted; in Missouri
seven days early and nine per cent.
planted and in Oklahoma four days
late and eight per cent. planted.
