What We Cannot Lose.

In that great day no honor done to
Christ on earth shall be found to have
been forgotten. Not a single kind
word or deed, not cup of cold water,
Or box of ointment shall be omitted
from the record. Do we know what
1t Is to work for Christ? II we do,
let us take courage and work on.
What greater encouragement can we
desire than we see here?
We may be laughed at and ridi-
culed by the world. Our motives
may be misunderstood. Our conduct
may be misrepresented. Our saerl.
fees for Christ's sake may be called
waste"-waste of time, waste OF
money, waste of strength. Let none
of these things move us. The eye Of
Him who sat in Simons house In
Bethany is upon us. He notes all We
do and is we'll pleased. Let US be
"steadfast, unmovable, always abound
ing in the work of the Lord, foras-
much as we know that our labor 10
not in vain in the Lord. - Bishop
Ryle.

Honor to Whom Honor.

The trying times through which
Tennessee is passing have brought to
the surface not only criminals, mur-
derers, mobs, grafters, bribers, liquor
advocates, and the like, but flashes
of the noble and true as we'll. Three
cases are worthy of record.
]. One of the members of the lower
house of the Legislature has a son
in the State prison. He was given
to understand that a pardon for the
son could be had If the father would
vote against prohibition. They
talked it over, and the son said. em-
ploying the homely dialect of the
mountains: Pap, you go and do
your duty. Vote right and drive out
the saloons, so that other boys will
not be tempted and ruined as I was.
I will bear my burden and serve out
my time" AS may well be believed,
Pap" voted right"
.. One of the State senators left
the sessions of the Legislature to
visit his father, who was sick. When
he had spent day with him, the
sick man said: Now you have done
all you can for me I can only last a
few days longer. Go back to your
place and help win the fight against
whisky" The son returned to Nash
vile, aud in the very midst of the
hottest part of that fight the father
died. In due course he was buried,
the son holding grimly to his place
in the Senate, not leaving even to at
tend the funeral.
3. Another State Senator, though
seriously i'll. had himself carried to
the Senate chamber, and, though un-
able to sit up all the time, firmly cast
his vote throughout long and excit-
ing session for those measures which
he thought morality and. the public
conscience demanded d.-Christian Ad-

1t will be remembered that vote
of the people OF Iceland was taken In
September, by order of the Icelandic
Parliament. on the question as to
whether the sale OF liquor should be
prohibited In the island. BY q ma
jority vote OF 1854 the people de-
clared for total prohibition.
At national convention of the
labor unions OF Norway, held some
time ago. strong temperance plat
form was adopted, but plank for
total prohibition was rejected. This,
however, Is only = temporary rsi-

Nitrogen Capturing Plants.

Nitrogen for agricultural fertiliza-
tion is worth FROM fifteen to twenty
cents a pound, Wholesale, so that
when it is known that at the Michigan
Agricultural Experiment Station, on
average ground, cowpeas yielded 139
pounds of nitrogen per acre and soy
beans 113 pounds, all captured from
the air, the money value Of the le-
gume to the farmer may be appre-
ciated. Compilations made at the De-
partment of Agriculture from various
sources show that cured hay of the
various legumes contains from forty
to fifty pounds OF nitrogen to the ton.
Land which will produce, therefore,
two tons to the acre of cured clover
or other leguminous hay, yields eigh-
ty to 100 pounds of nitrogen, and the
best way to realize this S15 or $40 of
fertilizing wealth is to feed the hay
right on the farm, converting 1t into
manure and at the same time securing
in addition its full forage value.
Barnyard manure contains from sew
enty-five to ninety per cent. Of the
total fertilizing substance in the feeds
used. depending upon the handling
of the manure.
Hundreds of exact tests have been
made by the Department of Agricul-
ture and the State Experiment Sta
tions to show the value of the legume
as fertilizer. In addition to adding
nitrogen to the soil it supplies humus
and improves the mechanical texture.
These two features are also accom-
plished by plowing under or feeding
such green crops as rye, buckwheat,
ETC., but these crops put nothing back
into the soil that they have not taken
out of it.

jealousy in Agriculture.

Jealousy, narrow mindedness and
lack of charity on the part of farmers
toward one another are some Of the
most serious setbacks TO agricultural
progress. The farmer, penned in by
the comparative isolation of farm
life, lives in little world Of his own.
He has to work out his own problems,
do his own work and reap the bene-
fits OF his own efforts. Farming is
a one-man business. II Is not surpris-
ing, therefore, that farmer should
get pretty well settled ideas as to
farming methods in general and his
own in particular. 1t is sometimes
hard for him to see the other fellows
point OF view, or to concede any point
with which he does not agree.
One farmer may have made a great
success at dalrying. He sometimes
concludes there is no money in any
other business, and that all other men
should follow his footsteps to sue
cess. Another may have failed at
the dairy business because he did not
not have the qualifications of careful
ness that make dairymen. However,
he may be a successful cattle, sheep
or hog feeder. Consequently "the
milky way" is a snare and delusion
Still another may be a poultry en-
thusiast. or he may be successful IN
growing seed grain. Every one re
spects the farmer who has the pluck
the energy and get up and get
about him which brings success In
his particular line. But there IS
room for all. There is no use insist
ing on a mans doing anything he
doesn't want to do. II we tend strict
ly to our own business. but be sure
TO make that business a success. the
other fellow will not be slow in fol-
lowing the example II he sees any
thing In lt.-Practical Farmer.

WITH CUBA
New Tariff Brings Up Fine
Point in Cuban Treaty

Washington, Aug. 6.-Presient Taft
must abrogate the Cuban reciprocity
treaty or it is said he will be unable
to grant to France. Germany and otner
sugar producing countries the advan-
tages of the minimum rates of duty OF
the Payne tariff law. This is made the
subject of a letter today sent to the
president by Representative Broussard
of Louisiana. The Cuban treaty con-
tains clause which stipulates that
the Dingley rates Of duty on sugar
will not be reduced by treaty or con-
vention" as long as the treaty re-
mains in force, according to Brous-
sard. He contends that the president
before issuing the proclamation put
ting in effect the minimum provisions
of the new tariff law against a for
eign country would have to enter into
an agreement" with such country de-
claring that that country did not dis
criminate against American products.
Broussard claims that such an
agreement would be in the nature
of treaty or convention" in the mean
ing of the Cuban treaty and could
therefore be in violation of terms.
