Hoggina Down Corn.

The plan Of hogging down corn will
give the BEST results-the cheapest as
we'll as the most rapid gains for the
hogs-if rape at the rate of from three
to four pounds to the acre is sOwed just
before the time OF the last cultivation.
This will no oily provide an album
dance of green food. which will give a
nice balance for the corn, but, being
hardy, will last until the heavy freezes
of early winter. South Of IL degrees SO
minutes cowpeas give just as good re-
suits as rape and may be used to ad-
vantage in place of it. Being a legulne,
it will also fertiliZc the soil.

Pics Must Have Room.

Is it any wonder that pigs lose their
thriftiness and constitution and be-
legs when they are confined in an 5 by
10 pen that is cleaned but once Il year
and then only when the owner has
time? Stop and figure the losses that
result from pigs that do not do we'll
and are squealing when they want to
be comfortable and contented. The
chances are all they need is the run Of
a nice clean pasture where they can
leave their droppings to the benefit OF
the soil.

RR Il. WHIFFLES was a younc

clergyman of the Anglican
church who passed from low
church to high church till
he got so high as to favor celibacy
among the clergy and finally deter
mined to abstain from marriage. There
was another, perhaps Il stronger, rca-
son for his own celibacy. He owned
considerable property which he deter
mined to put into a church. The CIV
ing up of this fortune he considered i'll
compatible with matrimony.
His mother, who was as practical IS
the son was visionary, strongly object
ed to his plan. She had helped her
husband by good household manage
ment to make the fortune her son en-
jOyed, and she had no desire to see it
put into a church. If it We're to go
for any such purpose she preferred
to have it given to the poor.
One day Mrs. Whitiies called on Miss
Laura Edmonds. whom she knew her
son fancied, and said:

THE REPORTER APOSTLE.
St. Mark Tells His Story In the Bible
Wildly In Sixteen Chapters,


The greatest journalist the world even
knew lived 1900 years or more befor!
the invention of type, according to Rev!
DIR. Frank n. Palmer, who awarded the
palm to st. Mark and wondered at the
marvels that he might have accom-
plished if he had lived in the days oA
printing presses.
st. Matthew put his chronicles in
twenty-eight chapters; St. Luke used
twenty-four to tell his story; st. John
used twenty-one, but st. Mark covered
all the details more wildly in sixteen,
and, true to the spirit of action that
animates his kind, put a miracle in ev-
cry chapter.
st. Mark, DR.. Palmer said, was the
reporter among the apostles. His view
point, his language and his marvellous
ability to give action and climax, clash
and color in Il sentence should be a
glowing example to the newspaper
writer's of this day.
Each of the other apostles speaks Of
skies that opened. Mark says they
We're rent asunder. He is the only one
among his brethren who stopped duti-
fully to describe the color Of a given
scene. In the writings of his fellows it
is told that the people went to the Ser.
mon on the Mount. Mark writes vivid
ly that the people ran.
In writing for the Romans he used
colorful illusions and the references to
wild beasts to touch their intelligence
in sympathetic fashion ut every stroke.

The career of Axel Oxenstjerna Is
a proud chapter in the history Of Swe.

chancellor Of the Swedish empire. un-
der Gustavus Adolphus, and much OF
the glory that befell the reign OF that
remarkable monarch was due to the
mastery diplomatic ability, great cour.

For in the days Of Oxenstjerna Swe.

time extended Owe Prussian territory.
During the entire period of the Thirty
Years war in Europe, Sweden, through
the instrumentality OF her mighty

place in the council Of nations.
And when in 1G4S negotiations for a
general continental agreement began
at Osnabruck the Swedish chancellor
appointed his own son., Johan, as the
Swedish representative. The son ex-
pressed his distrust of his ability to
properly serve his country in so re-

dittidcnce of youth the father made his
famous reply:

PLANT ASSOCIATION.
Especially Beneficial In Case Of Legu.
minous Plants.

minous Plants.
1t has long been known that some
plants are benefited and some are i'll
jured by association. Association seems
to be especially beneficial in case
OF leGuminous plants (pcas, clover,
etc. and cereals or grasses. Recent
investigations by the New York Cor
nell and the New Jersey experiment
stations throw new light on the Ell
sons for this beneficial effect. 1t APP
pears that the %)eguluinous plants not
only gather nitrogen from the at,nos-
phere by means of their root tubercle
bacteria and are therefore able to
make Il large growth, but that some of
the nitrogen so gathered is passed OIL
to the grain, grass or other nonleguml-
nous plant associated with it.
The result is a large growth of the
nonlcgume and also a higher content
of protein or heterogeneous material,
which considerably increases its value
as food for stock. Such benefit has
been noted from the growth of clover
and timothy, alfalfa and timothy and
oats and peas. Other combinations
have not been studied. The increased
growth of plants in combination over
that Of single crops, together with the
improved composition of the former,
has resulted in some cases in an in
crease of more than 80 per cent in the
production of protein per acre. This
increased value probably extends to
the roots and stems left in the soil and
means much in the production of food
for stock and in soil improvement.

die to grow again and die to come
again and again, and in SO far are
they symbolical.
But the faith which is wound
around the story of the Cross knows
no continuous success of death and
life. 1t knows only the one mortal
life, and then mortal death-the long
sleep before the happy awakening to
q life that never more shall have a
period.
Firm in that faith the Christian of
to-day is strong through the trials
that beset him here. Before him, not
only at Easter, but at all other times,
also, is the picture of the resurrection
of Christ, which means to him no
mere miracle in opposition to the
workings of Nature, but actually a
promise, in the act, that the Christian,
when his death-sleep is ended, shall
arise again and be with God.
Beautiful is the flower symbol; but
it is incomplete. And this is but
right, for what symbol could fully
stand for the greatest event in the
history of the Universe?

Caster festthal
BY Margaret E. sanaster.

Somehow Easter always carries
with 1t more OF heaven than any other
OF the great anniversaries of the
Christian year. In its first bright
dawn the heavens were opened and
the angels came down to comfort the
weeping omen and the disciples,
mourning their Lord at the sepulcher,
with those ecstatic words, He Is not
here; he ia risenl"
It Ia more than fancy, 1t Is
precious fact, that the angels still
come back to console the mourner,
to strengthen the doubling, and to
give Christ's own people the blessed
assurance that he is with them still.
The festival Of Easter comes to US
at propitious time, for, 10, the win
ter is past; the rain is over and gone;
the time of the singing of birds 10
come; and the voice Of the turtle ts
heard in our land. Winter, with its
rigor and cold, its Ice and frost and
inclement blasts, its tempests on land
and sea, Is an emblem Of warfare; Its
silence and sterness ally 1t to grief.
Spring comes dancing and futter-
ing in with flowers and music and the
blithe step of childhood. Her signs
are evident before she is really here
herself sFirst come the bluebirds,
harbingers Of a host; little later
there will be wrens and robins and
orioles, and all the troop which make
the woods musical and build sociably
around our country homes.
Then the flowers will come. Hap
! py are they who shall watch their
/ whole procession, from the pussy
/ willow in March to the last blue gen.
tan in October. We decorate our
churches at Easter with the finest
spoils of the hothouse-l lilies, roses,
palms. azaleas; nothing is too costly,
nothing too lavish to be brought to
the sanctuary or carried to the ceme-
terry. Friend sends to friend the fra
grant bouquet or the growing plant
with the same tender significance
which is evinced in the Christmas
gifts, which carry from one heart to
another a sweet message of love.
But God is giving us the Easter
flowers in little hidden hooks in the
forests, down by the corners of fences,
in the sheltered places on the edges OF
the brook, and there we find the vio-
let, the arbutus and other delicate
blossoms which lead the van for the
great army of natures efflorescence.
The first flowers are more delicately
tinted and Of shyer look and more
ephemeral fragrance than those which
come later. They are the Easter flow
ers Later on we shall have millions
of blossoms and more birds than we
can count; now in the garden and the
! field we have enough to remind us
/ that the winter is past, the rain is
, over and gone the time of the singing
, of birds has come.

fbre Of our life as a child of God. 1t
In for us historical event, an article
Of the Christian faith. An argument
for the life beyond the grave.
And some one may ask, What
more can be desired?" 1t would seem
az II one had reached the circumfer-
ence and had grasped the full value Of
the message of Easter when such
confession had been made. There Is
something more, however, for on East
er Sunday we are not simply COM
memorating an event, we are sharing
In an experience; we are not simply
adding an article to our creed, we are
partaking of the power of new life;
we are not simply finding an argu-
ment for immortality, we are entering
into the Joy of the life eternal.
The deep significance of this East
or day does not lie in it's pointing US
back to a certain time and a certain
place and reminding us that at that
time and in that place Christ rose
from the dead. The true meaning of
Easter is that to-day and now Christ
Is gaining the victory for US, and the
message of the angel is bringing joy
and new life to hearts that are dead
In trespasses and sin.
Whenever a human soul goes to
seek a crucified Jesus and finds in
stead risen Saviour the event OF
Easter day is repeated and the Joy
Of the angelic message Is shared once
again The real power Of the resur-
rection lies in the spiritual experience,
not In the historical fact.
