To catch in the hour of darkness
Some CLEANS of eternal light.
To cheer some heart in the shadows,
To aid some soul in the fight:
To feel that the darkest hour
Precedes the roseate morn,
That the amber and gold of cloudland
Returned with the sunburst of dawn,
To learn in the world 5 great schoolroom
The lessons the Master will give
Of fortitude, faith and patience,
He teaches his scholars to live;
To believe in eternal goodness,
That infinite love rebounds
Greater than all the evil
That on the earth aboun IS;
This is the song in the night time,
The bursting of prison chains.
That solves the mystery of suffering,
That cheers in the midst of pains.
Songs in the night God giveth,
As to his prophet of old,
Through tears we behold the vision,
While the heavenly arms enfold.

Preparation on Southern Farms

In no section of the country does
well prepared seed-bed give better re-
turns than in the Southern states. The
best spring preparation of the soil is
practically impossible unless it has been
properly turned and deeply broken dur
ing the previous summer or fall. The
necessity for deep plowing in the South
is probably not realized by those who
are not familiar with the heavy rain
falls in this section, which frequently
packs and runs the particles of soil to-
gether so as to exclude air and SUM-
shine. The absence of freezing pre-
vents any loosening up of the particles.
besides in many places there is an al
most impervious hard-pan of subsoil,
either natural or brought about from a
continuous custom of shallow blowing.
In other sections this deepening and
loosening of the soil is done partly at
least by the force of nature, but can
only be accomplished by the plow in
the South. Such are the findings of
the Department of Agriculture.
The best implement for deep break
ing of the soil is the disc plow which
turns, pulverizes and mixes at the same
time. When properly adjusted, the
disc breaks the land deeply and thoroly
loosens it, mixing this soil and the sub
soil to some extent but does not turn to
the surface enough of the inert subsoil
to injure the succeeding crop. The
next best method for deep breaking is
moldboard blowing, set to turn burrows
on edge, and this is followed by sub
soil plow in the same furrow as deeply
as desired.
If the cover crop is to follow the fall
breaking, a thoro preparation of the
seed bed should be made before plant
ing the seed. If no cover crop is sown
the disc harrow or spring tooth harrow
should be run over occasionally to crush
clods and keep surface crusts broken
for the admission of air and sunlight.
The usual method is to fiat break and
where this is done it is best to throw
up into beds before planting. Planting
NAV be done with small plows or just
as effectively and much faster with a
disc cultivator set at the proper angle.
Should there be clods, roller may be
used and this is followed with section
harrow.

THE PRODIGAL FATHER.
Business Makes Father Forget Son..
The Result.

The above is the striking title of an
editorial in the Kentucky Sunday School
Reporter from the pen of the efficient
general secretary, Rev. George A. Jop-
lin. 1t can not be improved upon. and
so we reprint it just as it appeared in
the November number of the above
named paper:
And He said "A certain man had
two sons, and the younger of them said
to his father Father, give me the por-
tion of thy time, and thy attention, and
thy companionship, and thy counsel and
guidance which falleth to me- And he
divided unto them his living in that he
paid the boys bills, and sent him to a
select preparatory school, and to dane
ing schools and to college and tried to
believe that he was doing his full duty
by the boys.
"And not many days after, the ia
| ther gathered all his interests and as
pirations and ambitions and took his
journey INTO far country, into a land
of stocks and bohds and securities, and
other things which do not interest a
, boy, and there ne wasted his precious
opportunity of being chum to his
own son. And when he had spent the
very best of his life and had gained
money, but had failed to find satisfac-
| ton, there arose mighty famine in
his heart, and he began to be in want
of sympathy and real companionship.
And he went and joined himself to one
of the clubs of that country, and they
elected him chairman of the House
Committee and president of the club,
and sent him to the legislature. And
! he fain would have satisfied himself
with the husks that other men did eat
and no man gave unto him any real
friendship.
But when he came to himself, he
said, How many men of my acquaint.
ance have boys whom they understand
and who understand them, who talk
about their boys and associate with
their boys and seem perfectly happy ir
the comradeship of their sons, and
perish here with heart hunger? / vii
arise and go to my son and will say
unto him, Son, have sinned agains
Heaven and in thy sight, and am M
more worthy to be called thy father
Make me as one of thy acquaintances.
And he arose and came to his son. Blu
while he was yet far off his son saw
him and was moved with astonishment
and instead of running and falling Of
his neck, he drew back and was i'll a

Too much care can not be given to
the preparation of the seed-bed. 1t not
only saves cultivation. but makes plant
food available and furnishes proper con-
ditions for seed termination and rapid
growth. The best farmers will tell you
that thoro preparation is more than
half the expense of making good crop.
The spring preparation is never as
deep as the land was when broken in
the fall or winter. With nearly all
field crops a firm seed-bed is preferable.
Only the first few inches need 10 be
freshened and pulverized at planting
time. When the cover crop is drawn
under, the plowing should be just deep
enough to turn the crop under we'll and
the usual narrowing and pulverizing to
get fine soil before seeding.
Where there has been no fall and
winter breaking done, as is the rule in
some sections, it is not advisable to
break as deeply in the spring as in the
fall, usually not more than two inches
deeper than before. add then the clay
subsoil should not be turned to the sur
face. The plow can set to edge the
furrow. 1t is found more necessary to
get spring broken land finely pulver-
ized and thoroly prepared before plant
ing several days rather than put the
seed in a poorly prepared bed.
