Claim Prophecy Fulfilled.


A conference Of Bible students held
recently at Keswick, N. J.. revived an
ancient prophecy concerning Egypt,
the literal fulhllment of which, they
asserted, has been borne out in his
tory. The prophecy is found in Eze-
kiel 29:13-15 and 30:13.- Part Of
It reads as follows: ut shall be
the basest Of kingdoms, neither shall
1t exalt itself any more above the
nations, for shall diminish them that
they shall no more rule over the ma
tions -. and there shall be no
more a prince of the land Of Egypt;
and will put fear in the land Of
Egypt" Since this prophecy was
written. said one Of the speakers.
Egypt has been ruled by the Babylo-
mans. the Romans and the Turks,
and now It has passed under the alb
solute sway of England. Yet Egypt
once was the greatest and richest Of
the worlds nations.

ALFALFA EXCELS AS
A BUILDER OF SOILS
Adds Annually More Than Twice
as Much Nitrogen to Land
as Average Red Glover.

AS a soil builder, it is estimated
that an acre of alfalfa adds annually
more than twice as much nitrogen
to the land as the average acre Of
red clover. This phase Of alfalfa
growing will not be overlooked, nor
its Importance underestimated by
those who realize the need Of giving
much greater attention to maintaining
the fertility of soils.
Not only does this plant add great
ly to the available nitrogen in the
soils, but it adds also to the avail
able mineral fertility, through it's pow
er to appropriate for its own growth,
the large supply of phosphorus and
potassium found in the subsoils, writes
H. D. Hughes in Farmers Mail and
Breeze. These elements are beyond
the reach of the other farm crops in
the rotation, but the long alfalfa roots
gather them and later on much Of this
potassium and phosphorus become
available to other crops through the
manure made from feeding the alfalfa
hay. Moreover, as these deep pene-
trating roots decay, they open chan
nels which will be followed by the
roots of subsequent crops which other.
wise would never tap the lower re-
gions Of the subsoil. The great amount
of organic matter left when the alfalfa
is plowed leaves the soil in the very
best physical condition for the follow
ing crops, thereby increasing their
yields.

(By C. E. TOMEK.)
There is just one rule in all in
struction books that an incubator op-
orator would do we'll to violate, and
that is where he is told that when
everything is adjusted and running
perfectly to trust to the incubator.
Don't do it. Stay and watch, or
drop in every spare minute to look
around if you want good luck; for ev-
cry make Of incubator has some little
popularity that tells in the operating,
and it is only by close watching that
the operator has a chance to learn
how to bolster up the weak points, or
get the most out of the strong ones.
The operator should not forget that
an important part Of this business is
to run the machine smoothly accord
ing to the instructions, at least for
the first few times.
If you wish to avoid trouble you
should observe these three important
rules of the instruction book.
Implicitly follow the directions for
ventilation.
Place the thermometer where the
manufacturers say.
Don't vary from instructions for
temperature.
My last seasons experience bears
on the last two points. l was at this
time running three different makes Of
machines, each at different tempera-
ture, one at 102 another at 1903 and
still another at 104. All had good
matches.
The difference was mainly due to
the location of the thermometers, and
did not indicate an actual difference
of the temperature of the eggs.
never trust one ermometer-usually
have one to each tray of eggs.
The worst trouble l ever had with
a machine was one of the kind that
places the thermometer directly OH the
eggs. The difficulty arrives when the
eggs begin to hatch. They always
knocked the thermometer over and
from then on 1 was never certain
whether the latter part of the hatch
was being cooked or frozen.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1915-06-03

My main source of anxiety was the
regulator, which responded more read.
lily to moist heat than to dry. The
result was that the ventilator was
thrown wide open, and it let out the
moisture and heat that meant life to
the Matching chicks, and in rushed the
cold air that was sure to kill them
speedily.
My greatest difficulty was that was
without thermometer as well as a
dependable regulator. took the little
chicks already Matched as a guide to
the temperature in place of the Their.
mometer they had displaced.
used the ones that were well dried
and resting quietly on the top of the
trays well toward the back as a guide.
Chicks in the nursery drawer would
not have answered my purpose as
might have waited until those below
were too hot or cold, and the chicks
just Matching would have died in the

the hatch snatched a partial victory
when failure had seemed to be almost
certain!
The second time operated that in
cubator l had another thermometer
suspended where the chickens could
not displace it, and by keeping a rec

thermometers during the hatch l was
able to get along nicely when the
chicks commenced to hatch since my
records were a safe guide aa to the
proper temperature at which to keep

LIQUID MANURE is
GROWTH STIMULANT
Excellent for Growing Vines and
Tomato PIants-TimeIy
Work in the Garden.
CBy MILLER PURvIs.)

To raise big squashes, cover every
other joint on the vine with little
hillock of earth, as the vine length
ems out. By joints we mean, of course,
the point where leaf starts out.
If these joints are covered, roots
will start out and add to the capacity
of the vine in seeking plant food from
which to increase the size of the
squashes 1t bears.
When melon and cucumber vines be-
gin to grow, be careful not to dis
turb them when cultivating. Get the
ground clean as early as possible, and
then pull out such weeds as start close
to the vines.
Liquid manure is wonderful stim-
ulant for growing vines and tomato
plants. Fill an old cracker barrel
with unfermented horse manure, and
set 1t on a platform high enough from
the ground so a pail can be used to
catch the liquid. Then pour water on
until it begins to drip out of the bot
tom. Arrange the platform so the
drippings will all run to one point. Use
these drippings to water the hills, and
watch the vines grow.
Work fertilizer or rotted manure
around the cabbage plants every time
they are cultivated. Cabbage is the
real hog for feed, among vegetables.
Don't hoe, or otherwise cultivate
beans when the vines are wet. To
do so often causes them to rust.
