WARE THE GRASSHOPPER

The Vermont Agricultural Exten-
sion Service has adapted to Vermont
conditions the recent recommendation
of the Federal Department of Agri-
culture as the most practical means Of
destroying grasshoppers and prevent
ing their ravages by use of poison
bait made as follows:
Wheat bran, 20 pounds; Paris green,
pound; cheap molasses or syrup, 21a
quarts, oranges or lemons, 6 fruits.
Anything of this nature must, of
course, be made and distributed with
care, as poison bats may poison chill
dren as well as grasshoppers if placed
where they are readily accessible.
Thoroughly mix together the bran
and Paris green. An ordinary wash
tub will answer for this purpose. Into
a separate receptacle containing the
molasses or syrup squeeze the juices
of the fruit, then chop up finely the
skin and pulp Of the fruit and add this
also to the molasses mixture, which is
then diluted with two gallons of water.
Mix the two together and add enough
more water to bring the whole to a
stiff dough- This amount of poison
bait is sufficient to treat from five to
ten acres when properly applied. It
should be borne in mind, however, that
fruit is the essential element of this
bait, and if not employed rs per cent.
of the efficiency Of the bait is lost.
This poison bait should be applied
to the area to be treated very early in
the morning, before sunrise. To OBJ
tain the best results, the bait must be
sown broadcast around the border and
in strips one rod apart over the area
to be treated. More than one appIica-
ton may be necessary. Broadcasting
obviates the possibility of horses, cat
tie, sheep, poultry or birds being able
TO obtain sufficient amount Of poison
in the field to kill or injure them. But
under no circumstances should the bait
be scattered over treated areas in piles
Or punches for fear that birds or live
stock might, under such Circumstance
rs, eat enough Of the poison to prove
fatal.

THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST
CANCERIN NEW ENGLAND

The New England States generally
show a higher death rate from cancer
than any other group Of states. This
does not mean that New England
people are more susceptible to this
disease. Cancer is a disease of later
adult life and it is we'll known that in
parts of New England there are more
old people proportionately to the pop
ulation than in many other regions.
Nevertheless, the death rates recently
published by the U. S. Census Bureau
have stimulated much activity in these
states in the educational campaign for
the control of malignant disease.
What are the facts upon which this
movement is based? According to the
report of the Census Bureau, in 1913
there were 4992S deaths from cancer
in the registration area of the United
States, corresponding to a death rate

THE AGR-ToCoME DOCTRINE
Due Time Continued

Due Time (Continued,)
Christ was the Lamb slain from tn
foundation OF the world. Rev. KILLS
But though this was the provided plan
and completed at so early stage, th'
due time for His appearance in thu
flesh was reserved TO period pleasing
TO Him who orders all things TO sui
His own will. This thought is convey
ed in the message Of the apostle VII,
said that when the fullness Of the time
was come (the due time for Christ I,
witness TO the plan) God sent fsrti
His Son TO redeem them that were un
der the law, and make them sons Of
God by adoption. Gal. IV-4-5. II il
clear from the few scripture refer,
enees cited that the second probation
theory is a preposterous one, only cal
culated to lead the careless soul into
an attitude of carnal security. If such
an arrangement is only for the gener-
ations who have died out of Christ, be-
cause of ignorance of their privilege
why should the doctrine be drilled into
living minds except to divide their at
tention from present Christian duties
by impressing upon the mind continu-
ally the hope that they, too, may have
second chance to recover from the
sin taints of some selfish interest ?
The safe side of this controversy is
manifestly to follow the moral instruc-
ton of the Bible, to prepare to meet
God, and at the same time 10 Danish
the thought Of all not well founded
views of a better time to find the
Lord. The age-to-come doctrine has
much to say about those living before
the first advent of Christ not having
the benefit Of new covenant provisions
which rightfully belonged to them, and
justice demands that the second COM
ing of Christ must give them, through
a second probation, the kind Offices Of
His grace. Much is said about due
time, reserved for those who were
kept in ignorance Of the saving pro-
visions of the new covenant, on ac-
count of not having lived during its
reign. But the Bible use of this utter
ance in connection with the work of
Christ for humanity is not that those
who lived in the time of Moses are
entitled to a second probation, to be
awarded at the second coming of
Christ, but that the ransom for man,
as provided in the original plan and
pledged in Eden that the seed of the
woman should finally bruise the SER
oent's head. (Gen. III-15) Would be
testified to the world j n due time. /

som for all? Marginal reading). A
