Develop; Don't Dynamite.

Christian Endeavor is not the cause
of religious Indifference. public or pri-
vate. Thesa conditions exist among
the young people not because Of. but in
spite of, Christian Endeavor 1t has
lifted up its standard of loyalty to
Christ and His church 1t has rallied
and is rallying great host of earnest
young hearts TO this standard. But it
needs for its largest success more en-
thusiastic public support from the pas
tors. more sympathetic oversight and
leadership from the official boards Of
the church, more active cooperation
with the superintendent and teachers
IN the Sunday school and more person
nj interest on the part of parents in
the religious training of their children
Let religious training be taken out Of
the elective" courses and put into the
required list, and we shall soon see a
marked improvement in the quantity
and quality of our work. If for one
year Christian people would pledge
themselves to stop knocking" and
give themselves to enthusiastic coop
fration in place of destructive criti-
cism. believe that we should see such
results In all departments of Christian
work as would make glad the hearts

There are many methods Of farming,
but in all countries the crops grown
and the mode of cultivation depends
upon the cost of labor. In Europe,
where labor is cheap. owing to the en-
ployment of women and children in the
fields, plants are grown closer together
and are largely worked by hand. The
intensive system Is used on such farms
because the farms are small. In this
country the horse Is used wherever q
crop can be cultivated with Its aid,
but there is something to learn from
Europe in increasing the crops by the
judicious saving and use Of manure
In some sections Of Europe the ground
Is trenched and the trenches filled with
manure. 1t requires large amount of
manure to trench plot. but the crops
will be large, .correspondingly, and the
land will bear several crops from a sin
gle application Of manure. Only the
valuable crops are so treated. 1t would
not pay to trench for corn, but such
crops as celery, peas, cabbages, lettuce,
onions, or early crops Of any kind, will
pay, as they can be followed by later
crops. Such experiments should not be
overlooked, as but single trench is
necessary for making tests with sew
eral kinds of vegetables.
