How One Pastor Built Church

Last winter one of the strong
churches of Los Angeles extended Rev.
w. H. Shelter of Memphis, Tenn, a
call to become their pastor, and after
considering all sides of the question
he decided to accept the call, relates
the Christian Herald. So he con-
vened his official board, placed before
them his resignation and asked to
be released. His board being made up
Of tactful business men, and know
ing that their pastor had tried for
years to build a new church, request
ed him to hold the resignation in
allegiance for a week, which he did.
Then the board got busy, bought a
new site for a church and paid $4,000
for it and reported to the church the
following Sunday that they would
build a new church on 1t at once If
their pastor would consent to remain
with them. He wanted another week,
and then said to his church: Il will
stay with you If you will subscribe
$45,0 for the new church at once"
They took him at his word, and at
that service subscribed $4,000 for the
new building. 1t goes without say
ing that his church is very happy over
his decision to stay with them.

TOO STRONG FOR UTTERANcE
Iraselble Old Salt Had Many Things
He Would Like to Declare, But
Not at That Time.

Mrs. Van Allen Thompson, whose
entry into the country gave her much
difficulty with the customs officials,
was recounting her experiences to a
few friends in Boston. She said:
ut was very unpleasant, but not the
least unpleasant part was the attitude
of the customs officials. hope they
don't intend to be as rude as they ap-
pear to the returning traveller.
But" continued Mrs. Thompson,
philosophically, Il suppose 1t would
be difficult to be popular as a customs
inspector. Everybody dislikes these
poor men. Everybody feels towards
them like the old skipper.
This skipper, after undergoing sew
eral hours of suspicious cross-ques-
tioning from two inspectors regarding
his cargo, was at last leaving the
wharf when a young official, unaware
of his previous grilling, accosted him.
"'Have you anything to declare,
sir?' he demanded sharply,
Furious, the old skipper glared at
the young man and shouted:
Ives, young man, I've a good deal
to declare, but I'd be ashamed to say
it before a boy like you. You're too
young to hear what / would like to

ERUPTION DIsFIGURED FACE

Lock Box So, Maurice, Ia.-"1n the
spring Of 1911 our little daughter, age
five years, had a breaking out on her

AS 1T SEEMED TO THE BOY
Youngsters Criticism Not Unnatural
When One Considers the Present
Fashionable Designs.

Mrs. Beekman Winthrop at a lunch
con at the Colony club in New York
said of the 1913-1914 fashions:
II admit that some of these fashions
are beautiful. The worst structure, per
haps, that can be uttered against them
was the unconscious structure Of a lit
tie boy friend of mine.
He was looking at a photograph Of
a very beautiful lady. This beautiful
lady wore a ball gown of diaphanous
white stuff like gossamer. Her white
arms were bare. Great VS. in front and
back barred her neck and shoulders. A
slash on the left side Of the skirt re-
vealed her white silk stocking, her
little white shoe, and the shoes fasten,
ings of narrow ribbon that al in crisis

glistening ankle.

Cowpeas pay.
Farmers of Missouri have not
grown the cowpea as extensively as
its value warrants. This has been
probably due to the fact that the seed
was quite expensive, because of nu.
merous failures in the past in getting
a good stand when sown before the
ground had sufficiently warmed, be-
cause of careless handling at harvest
time and, lastly. because the crop was
not sown at the proper time in the
rotation.
Since all of these problems can now
be avoided by proper management,
there is nothing to prevent the pro-
gressiVe farmer from trying a crop of
cowpeas, a rival to alfalfa in food
value. The cowpea is a legume which
receives a large part OF its nitrogen.
Gus food from air.
Leguminous plants as a rule have
a tendency to be injured by ~so-called
soil acidity," but the hardness Of
the cowpea plant makes it less sensi
tive than other legumes to such 9
condition, thus giving it a wider sol
adaptation. 1t shades the land by its
rank growth, conserving moisture ant
preventing the direct beat of rain

Catherine the Oak Leaves.

In certain sections Of New Jersey
the gathering Of oak leaves is a late
summer and autumn industry. Pass
ing through the section where the in
dustry is carried on, n sees the
sides Of houses and barns or any 9TH
er place out of doors where the
branches can hang to dry filed with
row after row of punches of oak.
After drying for two weeks they are
put in bales for shipment. Last year
one man gathered more than 300
punches a day and had more than IL
tons for shipment.
The price is about $50 a ton, and
there is a brisk demand in European
cities for tho oak branches thus pre-
pared. There are 100 limbs in a bun
de and 100 punches in a bale. The
leaves are free for the taking, mostly.
Still, some owners of woodland are in
the money making game themselves,

seeding should be less than wnar
grown for hay or forage. The plant
ing can be done either with a corn
planter or with an ordinary grain
drill, depending upon whether it IS
desired to cultivate the crop or not.
About 80 days are required to mature
seed under average conditions, so one
can easily figure the possibility OF
having the peas come between two
small grain crops.
Fol- Missouri conditions it is always
best to use the earlier maturing va
rieties and those of medium to small
size seed. The varieties usually rec
commended are the New Era, Whip
poorwill or Clay. These also do well
when planted with corn at planting
time or at last cultivation, to be later
hogged off when the pods are begin
ming to ripen.
For seed the crop should be cut
when most of the pods are ripe, and if
hay only is desired the cutting should
be done when the pods are a little on
the green side. The most practical
way of curing is from the swath to
the shock and from there directly to
the thresher and combined shredder
and baler. AS a green manure crop

No IDLE DAYS IN WINTER
REGULAR EMPLOYMENT OF MEN
AND HORSES SAVES MONEY.
BY o. r. Johnson, Assistant Professor
of Farm Management, Uni
versity of Missouri.

Now that the busy work of the crop
season Is over, farmers are facing the
problem of how to keep men and
horses employed during the winter
months. The necessity of providing
winter work for men and horses will
be more apparent when a few facts
which have been gathered during the
last few years are looked at. 1t has
been found by actual figures kept on
real farms that the farm horse works
on the average about three and one
half hours a day for the year and the
men work an average of about 10 or
II hours a day. This calculation
takes into account every work day in
the year.
Fairly regular work for men and
horses in the winter season gives a
farmer many advantages. Regular
work for horses fulfills n purpose
in reducing the cost of horse labor OH
all farm operations. 1t costs SO much
a day to keep a horse. If the horse
works six hours the cost an hour Will
be one-half as much al if three hours
work had been done. Horse labor
now costs about 9 cents ain hour.
Regarding nan labor, regular work
gives four important results. First,
it reduces labor costs. A man receiy.
ing $25 a month and his board actual
" receives about IA cents an hour for
his work. If he worked as many
hours in the winter as in the summer
has labor would cost the farmer only
about IL cents an hour, a saving Of
nearly rs per cent.
The second advantage is increased
profits through the utilization OF by
products Of the farm. Meats may be
cured, seeds, cleaned, graded and
treated; orchard and garden products
may be stored. Such work done
avoids idle time and means money
For example, special care given tc
poultry, seeing that they get balanced
rations and are always kept comfort

Her Preference.

Apropos of Senator Depew's declara-
ton that in his young days in Peeks-
kill marriages were very happy and
comfortable on $1,000 OF SO a year,
Millicent M. Atwood, in an a~nti-suffrag-
list address in Baltimore, said:
THE cost of living is higher now
than in Mr.. Depew's young days, and
it is impossible for a Bryn Mawr OF
Vassar girl to live a happy married
life on $1,000 year.
"A Vassar girl once refused a $16-a
week bank clerk. He groaned and
said:
"'You wiring my heart

able, will mean large production of
eggs when eggs are highest. All
these things result in increased pro-
fits.
In the third place, regular winter
work will give overhauled farm equip
ment. This overhauling will prevent
many Interruptions when weeds and
corn are growing fast next easo
A fourth advantage is that by fur
nishing regular employment a farmer
can get a better hand than he would
otherwise be able to hire. This max
be a very important item in the years
work.
1t is found that when a man watch
es all these he has: First,
lower cost of farm operations all
around; second, an income from the
by-products Of the farm that he has
not enjoyed before; third, all tools
fences and buildings in good shape so
that they will not need care during
the summer; fourth, a more satisfac'
tory hand to depend on during the
whole year.
These results have been obtained
by different farmers in this state.
Every farmer has not accomplished
all of them, but pleasing results are
coming from many directions. The
use of a memorandum book and the
making of a list of rainy days or odd
jobs which can be done at any time
has been found to be a great help.
One mar has been able to have his
years work done for 8 cents an hour
less than before he followed his
method.
The slogan for the farmer should
be from now or mo idle days for
men or horses"

The great value Of cowpeas as a
feed and as a soil-renovating crop
should give them a more important
place in Missouri agriculture. The
short period of growth also makes it
possible to use them to great advan-
tage as a catch crop between the reg
ular crops in the rotation, either for
hay, for pasture or for turning under.
They are, therefore, especially suited
to the man who wishes to build up
land rapidly while he is at the same
time securing e return from 1t In feed.
The crop is one which will undoubt-
edly become Of much greater impor-
lance in Missouri as the land is
farmed more intensively.

Wheat Soils in Missouri.

The soils in Missouri which are
best adapted to wheat are the we'll
drained bottoms, the brown loess, the
better limestone lands of south Mis-
souri, and the better timber and prai-
RE lands Of north Missouri. An ideal
wheat soil is one with good drainage,
with a medium to fine texture and Of
good fertility. Lack Of drainage Is
one Of the greatest obstacles to win
ter wheat growing. It is on poorly
drained lands that the alternate sreez,
ing and thawing of late winter has Its
greatest effect in causing "heaving.'
On well-drained soils heaving is OF lit
tie consequence in average seasons.
The direct freezing out Of wheat
during winters Of Eight snowfall is
also worse on wet lands. Good wheat
can sometimes be grown on land that
Is inclined to be wet, but Is never
sure. This statement is particularly
true Of the light soils Of the NOR
level p~rairies and the heavy clay loan
bottom lands.

upon the soil. These factors have a
pronounced good effect upon the soil
structure which can be noted in the
crops which follow.
The plant is also very drought re-
sistant, and if once started makes a
fair growth, regardless of weather
conditions. Another important con
s%ideration in using this crop to build
up soil organic matter and nitrogen is
the fact that it will do the work of
clover in one-fifth the time. Again,
in that it can very easily be worked
into the rotation either as a catch,
companion or single crops, it's popu-
!arity should increase.
