Business System on the Farm.
The use OF up-to-da machinery by
the country's large manufacturers ID

this enlightened age are setting Tor

means Of adding to the profits. In
some lines OF business, competition is
so terrific that machinery. more adj
vanced than that Of his competitors,
is often the only method by which a
business man may secure actual earn
ing power from his capital.
In the cost OF raising bushei of
corn or wheat. the amount expended
must be figured IN proportion to the
labor expended-in exactly the same
way that the cost Of any manufactured
article is calculated.
The farmer. in one respect. Is above
the business man.l for the materials
from which he grows his crops cost
comparatively little. His money and
time saving opportunity is in the USE
Of up-to-date farm machinery TO get
better produce and 1t the same time
cut down expenses.
One way to reduce the cost Of crops
is by the use Of modern blowing
methods Only few years ago farm
and attempting to cultivate large fields
of corn with single shovel plow. Yet
today cultivation cost L. cut low and
great time Is saved by discarding the
walking plow and adopting the real
business methods embodied in the
gang plow.
That tool was once made for special
work. such as blowing sod or stubble.
Today, however, the use OF inter-
changeable bottoms-moldboard and
shares-which do perfect work IN sod.
ssubble or corn stalk land. make the
gang plow the implement for every
blowing purpose. Thus the true prin-
ciple Of farm economy has been
brought before the agriculturist
Added to the big prices which farm
products for 1910 will bring is the saw
ing in money and time which Is SO
easily effected by the use of modern
implements. the gang plow being a
strong factor.
One man and four horses with a gang
plow accomplish a greater amount OF
work than is possible for two men and
six horses with walking plows. This
saving amounts to a large item where
the farm is Of reasonable size and even
on small farm one seasons saving
will III itself pay for the cost Of the
improved farming methodist say
nothing of added comfort and time
saving.
Every farmer who reads this article
for his own benefit. should fgure out
tue cost of his crop. Base it on the
labor required at SO much per day:
the approximate amount Of money rep
resented by the work OF the horses
etc. Then figure it out on basis OF
modern farm machinery ana the conse.
quent saving. In most cases 1t will be
found that one seasons saving will
pay cost of a part Of the up-to-date
machinery.

inches to a foot OF yard manure is not
burned UP, nearly all the good in it

lost by repeated teachings and the
constant exposure to wind and sun for
half the year. These being the facts

Ing.
For this purpose the manure
spreader is admittedly the best thing
to use, for reasons well known to any
and every man who has for any length
OF time used one and noted the results.
1t is true that while In most north

the dead of winter, but this can be
pretty we'll guarded against by hauling
out the heart Of the piles at least, as
often as possible, and by keeping the
pile well dattened or occasionally dis
turbed. BY far the most valuable part
Of the manure is the nitrogen, and
We just can not afford to let 1t be
burned out. So while there are some
objections to 1t. and there is slight loss
from exposure. unless we are 80 stu
ated that we can shed and compost our

few. however follow the practice with
their corn crops Many feel that they
must leave the corn land until spring
In order to be able to get on to the
land the manure that is made during
the winter. 1t has been found at the
Minnesota experiment station, that

yard manure. taken directly from the
barn. can be applied to fall-plowed
land and disced in the spring. 80 that
1t will not interfere in any way with
planting or cultivating the crop. This
makes 1t practicable to plow corn land
in the fall and still get the manure
made during the winter on to the corn
crop.
There is a great advantage in this
practice. especially in dry years. Plow-
ing the coarse manure under. 80 that
the straw lies between the furrow slice
and the subsoil. makes 1t very difficult
for moisture to move up from the sub
soil to the furrow slice. On this &C
count. land that has been MANFRED and
plowed In the spring. the manure
plowed under. is very likely to dry out.
BY manuring on top OF the land. and
discing manure into the surface. the
manure helps to form a surface mulch
and to check evaporation Of moisture,
and when 1t does rain. the elements Of
fertility in manure are washed down
into the furrow slice. where the plant
roots can get them. instead OF being
washed down into the subsoil out of
reach. The experts at the Minneso
university farm heartily recommend
fall plowing OF the land for corn.

A Missionary's Letter.

The Christian Endeavor World has told
OF letter written by a missionary in
India in which he told of baptizing forty
people. Two nights before the baptism
the head men Of the village came down,
| angry, furious. because this work had
been going on. They came down at 10
their homes. and said to them. Now.
then. those men that are going to be-
come Christians stand to one side; those
who are going to be with us, stand on the
other side. From the men who become
Christians we take away work and land ;
we deny them the village barber; we deny
all We can. Now those, who ire going
to be Christians go on that side" Every
one that was under instruction for bap-
tism took his place as Christian.
Here is another which is worthy to
stand next to the last. Saga All Sysoo
has been for years the gifted and con-
secrated head master of the American
Baptist Mission Boys School at Maui
mein.
The Burmese church at Maulmein had
been for some time without pastor.
The spirit of God pointed out that All
Sys0o was to be the answer to prayers.
and that God wanted him to separate
himself entirely unto the ministry of the
word
In due course he was called to the
pastorate. elected by a unanimous vote
of the church.
All Sysoo's self-sacrifice will be ap-
parent when 1t is known that in accept
ing the pastorate here he reduced his
salary from 165 to so rupees a month
$50 to $50.

"How Many Times"

Peter had associated with Christ for a
long time, had heard His words. had
learned from Him the model prayer In
which is the petition. and forgive US oul
debts as we forgive our debtors" And
on top of all this he asked the ques-
ton, Lord. how often shall my brother
sin against me, and l forgive him? till
seven times?' He had learned a little
he was ready to forgive, and he was
ready to forgive more than once, but
he felt that there should be a limit TO his
patience In placing the limit he made
use of the sacred number seven, Which
the rabbis taught to be perfect num-
Der; surely This would indicate all that
could be asked.
Jesus answer was emphatic, 0AVen
times was not enough-the wronged man
must be ready to forgive seventy times
seyen or an infinite number OF times. He
wished His followers to learn once for ali
that they were to pay no more need 10
the number of times forgiveness became
necessary than does God himself.
Jesus saw an opening for another par
able Of the kingdom. A king settling &C
counts with his servants who owed MIN
money called on one whose debt was an
immense sum to pay The debtor not be-
ing able. the master ordered that he be
sold to slavery, with his family, and all
his 4 DIS, that payment might be made
The q ,btOr thereupon made such a pitt
full plea for mercy and for time TO pay
the debt that the master not only granted
the request, but forgave the debt.

Der the story Of Joseph and then the

Pharaoh's bitter yoke. We remember
how our Lord in infancy was carried into
