small EHrn,n

Inc farm unit is gradually becom-
ing smaller with the advance In the
price of land. A well known real es-
tate agent in a certain locality told us
recently that he had ten times as
many calls for 40 acres as for 100 acre
farms. The small farm is the best
farm, all things considered, and PEG
pie are gradually coming to realize it
and to look for small farms when pur-
chasing. The farmer of to-day is be-
ginning to learn that it is better to
tramp over less ground and grow more
to the acre. The taxes and fences on
large farm sometimes amount to
more than the crops. There is great
economy ia all lines in the cultivation
and management Of small farm
When the farmer knows that he has
but few acres to plant to corn, Oh
any other crop he will use better seed
fertilize more heavily and cultivate
better. II he grows seventy to eighty
bushels to the acre, say on ten acres
he is much better off than the larger
farmer who cultivates twice as much
and gets only thirty to forty bushels
Of corn to the acre-Chicag0 Weekly

cuLTrvATING HEAVENLY POWER
By Rev. Joseph n. Bradley.

By Rev. Joseph h. bradley.
Now we are in training for work In
the eternal world God has purpose in
entrusting us with heavenly powers,
and the godly must be completely
Furnished unto every good work"
Such work must surely be an exhilara-
ton, and every opportunity to do be
an inspiration, and with immortal
powers unfagging. Jesus has gone TO
prepare place for us, and we are now
preparing for our respective places at
the right and left hand OF God IN
honor and power, or in some infe-
rior class, according as our several
abilities shall be.
This work will be such as will glori-
fly God in the exercise of His grace,
filling us with wisdom and might, and
love and Joy that He may carry bless
ings to others. Truly, such as We who
have known God in the redemption OF
our souls, through Jesus Christ, are
above all other creatures, for by this
redemption we are differentiated from
all others, and SO qualified in fullest
measure for such work; and being
thus qualified we shall not. rest IN
sloth and idleness throughout eternity.
We may be certain that If we have
not gained the faculty, and love to
work for others here and now, we
shall be the same hereafter. If we
fail to find work to do here, we would
fail there. 1t is incOnceiVable that
there should be dron IS in heaven.
where the Father works, and Jesus
works. and the Holy Spirit works.
There is sweet rest in heaven from
every fear and torment, with tireless
and free exercise of boundless desire
and use of every occasion to do the
will of God. our Father having the
mind of Christ in us.

erly based and directed, one of life's
chiefest architectural forces. The
Christian man is by that very term
and definition man Of hope. The
Beautiful Gate of Hope is where he
loves oft to be, and which (to change
the figure) ever enlarges and becomes
the more radiant, as he gazes upon it.
until finally it seems fairly merged
in the vast expanse of the City Celes-

Be sure to be often at the Beautiful
Gate-not that which long ago fell into
ruin at Jerusalem-but that which,
even for the lowliest and lamest, offers
it's invitation of spiritual blessing, and
promises a hope and healing both
heavenly and forever.

Raphael Sem III es.


Colonel Capers tells the following
graphic story of the makeshtfts and
expedients resorted to by the Confed~
crate effort at government to get 3
place among the nations of the earths
in a recent issue Of the New YORK;
World:
The first to report for duty was
Raphael Semmes afterWarQ command
er Of the Alabama He was on hand
before they had deck for him To
stand on, and worked for short time
III the Treasury Department at Mont
gomery. A merchant vessel was soon
bought, and Semmes, after inspecting
her, returned to Montgomery and an"
nounced to his fellow clerk, Colonel
Caper:
She is a good craft, sir; a good
craft. When l have strengthened
her timbers and cut her down to fight
ing trim, my word for it she Will do
brave work, sir
She was accordingly altered and
armed, and, with Semmes on her quar-
ter-deck, made good his prediction to
the dire cost of such as went down
to the sea in ships under the stars and
stripes in those days The vessel was
the Sumter.
But when she was ready to sail and
her register made out it was diScos~
cred at the last moment that the
Treasury Department Of the Confedex~
ate States had no seal. There WASN'T
an engraver to DE found in Montgom~
cry, and Semmes was impatient TO gSs
his papers and be off. SO he and Coz
onel Capers, aided by a handy young
army surgeon, and at the expense on
two Or three pen-knives, carved q rude
seal upon q piece Of lockwood which
| met the immediate need. Semmes got
| his register, and the Sumter set saH
under the stars and bars. There wa8
quite a time over the adoption OF the
/ flag. A considerable number were i'm
favor Of sticking TO the old flag, wlEh
slight notifications. but Mr.. Miles, on
South Carolina, chairman OF the Con-
gressional Flag Committee, argued az
length In his report against this senssa
T mental idea, and added, by way OF q
clincher, that Liberia and the Sand
wtch Islands had flags very similar to
ours. and the committee was not dis
kDosed, therefore, If for no other rea-
son. TO keep copy, or initiate it. They
have no inclination to borrow second
hand what has already been pilfered
or appropriated by free negro coIn-
munity and race of savages,'
The very first Confederate flag tha2
the sun ever saw, Colonel CapeTs testa-
fies, was hoisted by Judge Ciitheraa
at Montgomery. He was In the cOnSe
dence Of the flag committee, and as
soon as they told him the design Sc
leeted he got his lady friends together
and had one made. On the day tho
committee was to report to Congress-
he mounted the roof of the Capitol
fixed his flag to the halyards of the
staff and waited.
The recommendation of the commit
tee was approved. He got his signas
from below, and in the twinklings oG
an eye the new ensign of the South
was floating proudly in the caresses OF
the gentle March wind. The newTS
spread quickly through the city, and
when Judge Clitheral shouted dOwa
from his lofty perch, Three cheers
for the Confederate flag" the crowd
answered with a mighty greeting that
it was thought at the time, must hayh
given an earache TO the bronze sfatssg
tel.

The Importance of exercise for poul-
try might we'll be placed subordinate
only to good housing and feeding. But
a writer in an agricultural monthly
pertinently remarks that scratching
to get a minutes peace from mites
and other pests is not the right kind
OF exercise The truth is obvious.
Give the fowls plenty Of encourage
ment to scratch for their grain feed
by keeping a portion of each pen deep
ly bedded with leaves or straw. There
is nothing like it for promoting thrift
and contentment among a flock OF
fowls in the winter, and it is also a
great aid toward getting fertile. Latch
