THE JEWS AND THE FUTURE.

For eighteen centuries the Jews
have wandered on the earth, peo-
pie without a country. In Spain,
in England, in France, and Germany
they have multiplied and flourished,
only to be driven forth again. More
than half the Jews in the world are
to-day in Russia, and there they
are prosecuted, are despoiled and
murdered, so that life has become
impossible and uncomfortable. With
the exception of America the gates
of the world are locked against the
Jews, and even in America there
seems to be no room for all the mil
lions of the Jewish race who now
live in Russia.
For many years the Jews have
been dreaming of a return to Pales-
tine. But the land that once flowed
with milk and honey is now largely
barren waste, and there is no room
there for new millions. A plan to
settle the Jews in East Africa also
came to naught, because the coun-
try was untitled for anything but
snakes and chameleons.
A proposal has now been made
to settle the whole Jewish popula-
tion of despotic Russia in Mesopo.
tamia, in the fields watered by the
Euphrates. There is plenty of land
there, and the Jews who, in eighteen
hundred years, have not forgotten
that they were once farmers, could
hold there a great and fiourishine
nation. But there are difficulties
Merely to irrigate the land would
according to Mr.. Jacob Schiff, cost
two hundred million dollars, and
other hundreds of millions would
have to be spent before this great
race-moving could take place. But
the Jews who have waited for fifty
generations may bide their time fol
another generation or two, and IL
the end the Jews may return to the
land from whence they once sprang
and find an opportunity to live 6
free eXnandinP life

THE ROSE BUG.

The rose bug is a common and
many cultivated plants, trees and
bushes by devouring the foliage while
in the adult stage. In regard to this
pest, State Zoologist Surface says:
"It is not bug but beetle, as
it has chewing mouth parts and eats
the tissue of the leaves, making them
appear to be perforated with numer-
GUS holes with quite irregular edges.
The larvae of this beetle live in the
ground, and there transform to the
pupal or resting stage and remain
over winter. Deep cultivation OF the
soil and other plants they infest is
advisable. Growers should watch for
the first coming of these beetles, and
Jar them from the branches on sheets
saturated with oil stretched on the
ground, or held to catch the pests;
or into a hopper-shaped cloth bug
catcher. They can also be picked by
hand, or shaken from the trees,
bushes or plants and sprayed with
pure kerosene or exceedingly strong
soap solution, while on the ground.
In dealing with them in this manner
the leaves and plants will not be in
jured by the strong spray.
ITO keep the bugs from attacking
the small and tender grapes on the
vines, it is advisable to cover the
punches with paper bags as soon as
possible after blossoming and setting
of the fruit

GRANGE.
THE MOON AND POTATO FALL


The moon has nothing to do with
the growth of potatoes. This state
ment sounds about as self-evident
as a commencement grafton, yet,
according to recent investigation
by the Department of Agriculture,
seventy-fve per cent. of our farmers
have been planting potatoes and
other crops according to the alma.
nae. 1t is a very general belief that
potatoes planted in the dark OF the
moon produce the best crop while
the full moon variety are likely to
"run to tops"
1t seems a bit absurd to suppose
that a respectable old moon like
ours could find nothing better to do
than to stay up nights running the
potato crop. So Uncle Sam, who
has an unquenchable curiosity in
such matters, began poking into the
moon myth and discovered that it
deserved respect only because OF its
age. His Agricultural Department
workers found that they could raise
Just as poor potatoes in the dark OF
the moon as in the light.

DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF NEW
YORK.

A young man, twenty-three years
old, was the center of an interested
assembly in one of the stores in a
little town in Rockland county few
days ago. He had just returned
from his first visit to New York and
his friends we're anxious to hear all
about what he had seen and expert
enced. He was less enthusiastic
than his neighbors expected him to
be, and, contrary to their expecta-
tions, saw nothing wonderful. me
friend whom he had visited worked
in a stable and he spent the day with
him helping around then went to
a moving picture show in the Bow
cry, took a walk in that part of the
city, went to bed and next morning
started for home. Nothing great
about New York" he said, except
the elevated, and l didn't get a
chance to try that. New York

Verses 16-21-In what class do you
place those who profit by the sins of
fallen women?
This young woman was possessed
with very clever spirit Of evil, an all
round spirit of deception, including
fortune telling; now wherein did her
sin consist, and that OF her owners?
Which are the more to be blamed in
these days, fortune tellers or their
willing dupes?
When bad mon are losing the gains
of their evil occupation, are they apt
to be careful Of the truth, when they
are after the good men who have de-
stroyed their business? For example
the liquor dealers.
Verse 22-What made the multitude
so angry at Paul and Silas, and is any
reliance ever to be placed upon the
excited attitude of large crowd?
Do religious differences still make
the people hate one another?
Does worldly gain, to-day play any
part in RELIGIOUS intolerance?
Verse 2S-Why did God permit such
cruelty to his faithful servants?
Why is it that godly people often

Verse 24-Say why 1t is possible for
any good man in prison, lying upon

Does a good mans influence cease

In looking back over the results CT
his Imprisonment, would Paul and
Silas be apt to regret this painful in

Verse 25-Is there any circumstance
so painful. or disastrous, that prayer

victory?
If we PRAYED and sang more in our
private lives, and in our families,
would we have more JOY and gladness?
Verse 26-Was this earthquake the
result of the prayer of Paul and Silas,
or was 1t a natural event?
Does God to-day work out for his
people, practically the same results os
are here recorded?
Verses 27-2S--Why did the jailer de-
eide upon suicide, and is such a course
ever justifiable?
Verses 29-3O-Was it natural fear

May a father or mother believe In

THE NORWAY MAPLE LOUISE.

The occupant of suburban home
in the vicinity of Philadelphia ad-
dressed letter to the Division of
Zoology of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture, in which he
stated that There is an insect which
is destroying the leaves of the shade
trees throughout this section, having
much of the appearance of a louise,
and it is especially noticeable on the
Norway Maple trees" He than in
quired: Would you kindly inofrm
me what sort of mixture you would
spray with in order to rid the trees
of this pest, as l have already tried
Paris green, but with no effect?'
- Professor Surface answered: Re
plying to your inquiry concerning the
Norway Maple Louise, l beg to say
that there is such pest common on
these trees throughout this State. 1t
can be killed by spraying with one
pound of whale oil soap, dissolved in
six gallons of water, or with an eight
per cent. kerosene emulsion, or with
a stronger solution of any other kind
of soap"
However, l do not regard it as a
seriously destructive pest, although
| have often seen it cause many
leaves to fall from the trees. Those
trees which have been infested have
soon regained their foliage, and as it
is difficult task to spray a maple
tree properly, do not find many peo-
pie doing this, even though we rec
ommend it. In spraying for plant
lice you must strike the under sides
of the leaves, in order to kill the lice
that are there found. Otherwise they
would not be injured.
"Of course, Paris green has no ef-
feet upon them, because they are
sucking insects, rather than chewing
insects, and it is used only for the lat
ter. These plant lice often cause a
waxy or oily appearance beneath the
trees, caused by the sweet liquid,
known as honey dew, which they Sc
crete and drop. 1t also falls upon the
leaves and makes them have a var
nished appearance, while in this liq-
uid there developes a black fungus,
resembling smut or SCOT, which some
times gives the leaves bad appear
ance. However, it is not as bad as
it looks. The chief thing to do is
to keep the trees well watered, so as
to keep them growing, and they will
overcome the effects of this pest. II
would be benefit to the trees to add
a teaspoonful of nitrate of soda to
each gallon of water with which you
water them"
