Verses 2-6.-Dealing with doubt.
Machaerus was situated about 5000
feet above the Dead sea on the north
east side. In it's dark, damp dungeon
the preacher of repentance had been
languishing for over year. Marvellous
happenings had taken place during this
period in connection with the ministry
of Jesus "The works of Christ" Mir
acies of healing had been performed,
including the raising from the dead of

plesr The strain Of Imprisonment was
telling on this heroic soul, and the
startling reports brought to him by his
disciples only made him restless and
impatient. The message that he sent
to Jesus did not express his doubt so
much as his disappointment. Art

translated it would be. Thou, art thou

that moment he cured many of diseases
and plaques and evil spirits. and on
many that Were blind he bestowed

works of mercy had been performed in
the presence of the Baptist's disciples
Jesus sent them back to their master

CROP CHANGE VERSUS Ro.
TATlON.

The maintenance of soil fertil-
ity depends to a great extent on
crop rotation. We must distin-
guish between changing of crops
and a rotation of crops. In the
first instance, a certain field has
a different crop each year with
out regard to the crop eaEtiliz-
ing needs or requirements or its
effect upon succeeding crops. In
the second instance. we mean a
certain definite sequence OF crops
with regard TO their effect upon
fertility and physical condition
of the soil and their relation to
each other. There cannot be u
balanced rotation of crops-a ro-
tation that will build up rather
than deplete the soil-unless in
that rotation there is u legumi-
nous crop. If alfalfa or clover
can be grown, one or the other
of these must enter into the ro-
tation. If neither of these can
be grown. then some other leg
ume. such as field peas, vetch or
field beans, must be substitute

Timely Agricultural Topics

In many localities promoters have led
people into subscribing for stock for the
erection of creamery in their locality
when there were not enough cows In
the vicinity to warrant the building of
the creamery. The only object of the
promoter is that OF selling the ma
chinery, and he usually charges large
price for it, Many of these creameries
have never been a success and have
done much harm to the creamery bust
ness of the state. Do not erect a lar
ger plant than is absolutely necessary
to start out with.-Farmer's Review

striking anything of actual
value. Then he happened to fall in
love. There Is nothing to settle a man
down to steady practical effort SO
much as love and marriage. The first
invention Fairchild made after his en-
gagement he sold for $1,000. On this
he married.
His workshop was a single room on
an upper floor in a business block in
the city. There he used to go at 0
O'Clock in the morning and work all
day at his inventions. In a few
months he had perfected a machine
which he believed would make his for
tune. He made very excellent model
of the choicest wood, with brass fit
tings, keeping it a secret and locking
the model in his shop when not there,
so that no one could get at it. When.
however, his lawyer came to ask for
patent he was informed that the same
machine had been perfected a few
days before.
Great was Fairchild's disappoint-
ment, but greater was his surprise that
some on else had been working on the
same plan as himself and at the same
time. Nevertheless he applied himself
diligently and in the course of a year
had another novelty ready for patent
ing. What was his establishment to
find that in this also some one had got
ahead of him This time he began to
suspect that his plans had been copied
But who could have done so: He kept
them locked in a safe in his shop, and
there was no evidence of the safe ever
having been opened by any one except
himself. He made an inspection of the
entrances to his shop. but there was
only one door, on which he had placed
a lock that no one would be likely to
pick There was nothing about the
room that gave any evidence of having
been tempered with. However. before
completing other plans and another
model, every night before leaving he
placed a seal on the door and on each
of the two windows The seals were
never broken except by himself when
he returned to work in the morning.
Nevertheless when he applied for a
patent on his next machine he found
that he had been forestalled-

EVERY DOLLAR SENT OUT
OF HOME TOWN HURTS 1T
Why the Farmer Should Not Allow the
City to Grow at the Expense
of the Country.

There is the same reason for building
up the trade and Industries of a COM
munity that there is for building up
the trade and industries of a nation.
1t goes without saying that the coun-
try which does most to foster the COM
merce, the manufacturing and the pros
perity of its own people soon outdis-
tances the country which neglects these
things. The same thing applies to small
communities
Now, that is just the principle involv-
ed in trading with home merchants
rather than with distant mail order
houses. To trade with the home mer-
chant helps home commerce and home
industry. To send money to the dis
tant mail order house helps that re-
mote concern. but depletes the commu-
nifty from which the money is sent.
Every dollar taken out of community
makes everybody in the community
that much less prosperous. If more
water flows out of a lake than flows
into it, there is only question of time
when the lake will so dry If more
dollars flow out of a community than
flow into it, there is only question of
time when everybody that lives there
will suffer for lack of money.
Take the farmer, for example. Sup
pose he trades with mail order house
on the supposition that he can buy
goods cheaper there, a superstition that
actual investigation shows In most
cases to be untrue. Every dollar the
farmer sends away leaves his commu-
nifty short that one dollar. As a result
the home merchant suffers. When al
the home merchants suffer the village
itself becomes less prosperous. This
reacts on the farmer. 1t Is a trufsm
that u farm near a thriving town is
worth more money than one near
poor town. Therefore every time the
farmer hurts the merchant of his near
est village he is depicting the value of
his own acres.
This is not theory. but a condi-
ton shown by rundown villages and
abandoned farms in many parts of the
land. The thing that caused this havoc
was not deterioration of the soil. but
deterioration in the local public spirit.
The same thing that causes dollars to
go TO the distant city when they should
remain at home causes the boy or the
girl to go to the distant city when he
or she should remain at home. The
fault does not lie in soil or other outer
conditions so much as In the people
themselves. They fail to appreciate
their locality. its charm and its posi-
bilities.
The outcome of all this is that the
city becomes congested both with men
and wealth, while the rural community
falls behind in the same degree. This
Is not healthy condition. Any ma
ton is in bad way whose cities grow
at the expense of its farms. When the
farmers are prosperous the nation is
prosperous. and no true and permanent
prosperity is possible otherwise.

Forage For Hods.

The time is past when hogs are to
be fed in a close lot with corn and
expensive concentrates. The ideal
place for hogs. as proved by the work
done at the Missouri experiment sta
ton, is on forage where they get ex-
ercise and green feed. CowpeaS. rape
and other similar crops form the basis
of the best modern systems. Alfalfa
stands at the head, where it can be
grown.
