As Seeing the Invisible.

No great purpose has ever been
achieved by any individual until his
spirit has first gone out into some
wilderness solitude and there discov-
cred its native strength, its absolute
invincibility when 1t relies upon no
help but that OF God This is the
experience OF all the greatest among
men. They go apart from their fell
lows for awhile, like Moses, into the
land Of indian, OF like our Lord him
self into the wilderness, or like st.
Paul into the Arabian desert, and
there, in solitary communion with
God, from that highest Of all compan-
ionships, they drink In strength to
fit them for the work Of our lives.
Alone with God, they see visions
which I'll their souls, visions which
never fade afterward even in the
light Of common day, but which serve
as beacon lights to guide them,
through storm and darkness, till the
purpose Of their lives is fulfilled

RIGHT TREATMENT

When most farmers prepare to build

Do not give the sow's nest too much

BUCKWHEAT IS BEST

Buckwheat is the best grain crop

foraging ground for poultry.

chickens and turkeys to harvest It.
They are all the better for the exer.
else and the only cost is for the seed
and work Of preparing the soil and

Late IN last July sowed about one
acre where the chickens and turkeys
could have free access. They began
to work on It as soon as the grains
were filled and were at work on Il for
nearly two months.
II Il Is trampled down on the ground
the grains win not damage unless It is
warm enough to sprout them. Buck.
wheat viii lie on the ground all win

A buckwheat stubble makes an ex-
cellent feeding ground for poultry dur-
ing pleasant days throughout the fall
and winter season and the poultry en-
Joy the exercise.
Our hens. pullets and September
Matched chicks are all In fine condi-
ton, largely due to the buckwheat

OLDEST PIECE OF WRITING

been decipered by George A. Barton

scum. One Of these tablets, which
tells how a farmer rid his field Of To-
Gusts and caterpillars, is dated 1900
B. c. and is the oldest piece Of writ
ing extant, according to an announce
ment made by officials Of the museum.
The farmer, Doctor Barton's transla-
ton says, called in a necromancer,
who broke a jar. cut open a sacrifice.
a word Of cursing he repeated. and the
locusts and caterpillars fed" For this
service he received a tall palm tree.
That a canal was constructed in
Babylonia nearly 5000 years ago is
shown by another tablet dated THE
year the Divine Naram-Sin opened the
mouth Of the canal Erin at Nippur
Naram-Sin was a king in Babylonia
and is supposed to have financed the
construction Of the waterway which
gave Nippur transportation facilities
with the rest of the world. A third
tablet, dated 5000 b. c., records the

grain for bronze money. Gold and sill

No high sets were registered by the
