On nearly every farm summer apples
have had a place since very early days,
and varieties have been developed ex-
tending the season Of apple production
over the entire summer, as well as au-
tumn While as rule this fruit has
ben grown for family consumption, the
surplus has found its way to market. The
marked decline the past few years has
brought about a considerable extension
of the early apply industry on CONNER
cial scale, which extension has been most
marked in the middle Atlantic states,
where especially advantageous transport
tation routes. both rail and water, and
the proximity of large markets have slim
ulated the enterprise, which has its center

BY keeping live stock the farmer pro-
vides a home market. Tons of rough
bulky forage crops that are not market
able can be fed to. live stock and con.
verted into a finished product of the
farm. Cornstalks, straw, beet tops and
small potatoes can be. fed to cattle
horses. sheep, pigs and poultry that
would otherwise be. waste. If the great
packing plants of this country realize
large per cent Of their profits from the
by-products, why should not the farmer
do tho same, and thus be business
ma in spirit and truth?
Keeping live stoc, saves freight Re-
member, Jones pays the freight. There
has been more said and written upon
the subject of freight rates in recent
years than almost any other topic.
legislators have parleyed and wrargled.
and judges have stretched their heads
in bewilderment and confusion, and yet
the freight rate question is not settled
At least 81 per Get of the freight is
saved by feeding all crops to live stock
Is not that worth while? Again, trans
portation is one of the great problems
of the political economist. Every ton
of this enormous tonnage that is ham
died by the railroads and transportation
companies whether by land or water
outside of cattle and horses, is first
hauled over the dirt roads or public
highways. This alone should be suffici-
emit to induce any farmer to feed his
crops to live stock, and thereby market
them IL the form eff the finished prod
uct The fore, instead of watching the
public press, trying to keep an ere on
the solons and the courts, feed live
stock, and thus save the freight OH sew
en- pounds out of every eight.
The keeping OF live stock will enabis
the farmer to distribute the labor Of the
farm throughout the year. he scarcity
of farm help has furnished lanlenta-
ton that has gone UP all over the land.
Tho neglect of keeping live stock has
contributed no small part to this condi-
tion.l You can buy any article cheaper
at wholesale than at retail, and labor
is no exception to the rule. Any eff
cient competent farm hand would rath-
er work for lower wage for the entire
year than at a higher salary during the
busy season. Hence, the keeping Of live
stock and the feeding of all crops will
help materially to solve this vexatious
problem.
The keeping Of live stock will help to
keep the boys on the Farm Aside from
the utilitarian idea, there is one con-
slant round of pleasure in the associa-
tion and .ompanionship of farm ami
mails Waving fields OF grain and rich
harvests are not sufficient. but these
coupled with the gentle, thrifty animals
on the farm, make a picture fair to look
upon. and pregnant with food that fills

During the past quarter we have been
studying the efforts of the nation Of
Israel toward self, government, and the
result has been q characterized by one
word, failure God had taken people
and shown them peculiar care because
He was through them preparing an
instrument for accomplishing His pur-
pose Itrwas from Israel that the Re-
deemere wouad scome who would wrest
from Satan the Kingdoms of this world
and restore them to- God their rightful
owner. Hr8 lafss Fnl
In spite of all the favors God had
shown them they became FESTIVE until
He aceeded to their request that a king
should be given them like the other ma
lions around them They thus rejected
God, but He did not forsake them.
The experiment. of a king like other
nations was apparently success; but 1T
was only apparent. for while David was
great in many respects, and his king
dom a great one. yet he and his kingdom
were in a continual state Of unrest;
there was a constant war during his
reign. Under Solomon there was peace
without, but unrest within. The people
grew more and more FESTIVE under the
heavy burdens of taxation imposed upon
them to keep ups the splendor of his
court. Solomon was not a success, the
experiment was more of a failure than
under David sf
We have BEEN studying particularly
about the first half of the years of di-
vision. On Israel's part the experiment
of self government was increasingly a
failure. Jereboam usurped the author
ity of Cod. and instituted new places
and meth DDS of worship; but Ahab led
the people away from God and into the
grossest idolatry and Baal worship. We
have noticed how the course of the
northern kingdom was from bad to
worse.
While the career of Judah was not so
bad as that of Israel. her northern
neighbor, it was bad enough. 1t was
checkered, but nevertheless failure.

The president of the Little Mothers
Aid society in New York, Mrs. Clarence
Burns, says that the government ought
to pension all widows left with small
children. a woman risks her life,H she
maintains, for her country, her children
grow up to serve the nation, and why,
when this woman gives so much to the
world should she not when left desti-
tute receive as much as the man who
goes to war;
The pension should be in proportion
to the number of children the mother
had, Mrs. Burns thinks. Maybe that
might solve the anti-race suicide prob
lem, too.
