Farm Notes.

Agriculture is older than his
tory.
Barnyard manure is almost a
complete fetilizer.
Corn is the cheapest fat pro-
DUNG food in the corn belt.
1t is as easy to produce honey
of good quality las it is to pro-
duce the other kind.
Farming is a serious business
and is on par with any other
profession or occupation,
In selecting seed a matter
which needs carful attention i S
the keeping quality of vegetables
The keynote in getting seed
ing of clover is the mechanical
condition of and the humus j n
the soil.
Clover feeds on the mineral
matter in the soil and nitrogen in
in the air out of the reach o f
most crops.
Every spring an unnecessarily
large number of young pigs are
lost by the desese known S
the thumps.
Alfalfa best solves the problem
of supplementing pasture a n d
will maintain a full flow of milk
all summer.
Clover is the best soil renova-
tor because it better fills t h {
soil with roots which decay anc
fill the soil with humus.
The seeds of melons and Gu
cumbers should be started under
glass not over four weeks in ad
vance of field planting.

Witness Bearing.

The personal witness to Christ
is more than that of spoken tes-
timony merely important a S
that is. The essential witness is
that of character. The language
of the life is more constant and
more convincing than that of the
lips. A really renewed heart
manifests itself by putting
Christ's teachings and his spirit
into the conduct of life. T h e
beauty of holiness witnesses o
Christ as the flowers witness o
to the life giving energy of the
sun. Obedience t % Christ i S
much more the practice of what
the world calls morality, it goes
beyond the requirments Of the
Ten Commandments. 1t is obedi-
ence to the word of Christ. The
only safe direction for the Christ
ian is Whatsoever he saith unto
you do it. F." The sermon on the
mount is not a counsel of perfec-
ton it it to be odeyed. Those
who keep Christ, sayings build
on the rock. those who do no
keep them built on the sand.l

Failure In Poultry Keeping

Neglect in feeling the proper
food at proper time.
In and inbreeding carried too
far.
Building not properly con-
structed.
Some houses have too much
glass and not enough boards and
paper, thus becoming very cold
at night and cloudy days.
Coops are not cleaned often
enough. Every day is not too
often.
Selling poor birds and thus
disgusting customers.
Going into business on a large
scale when you are inexperienc-
ed.
Keeping too many varieties at
the start, One is plenty.
Making your poultry only a
