Methodist Church Filled to the Doors
Pastors of Various Churches
Assist in Service.
"LET US RISE UP AND BUILD
DR.. Bromley Impressed Favorably all
Who Heard Him at Sunday
Services.

| The Methodist church was Hlleu 10
the doors Sunday morning at the
first services held by the Bromley
evangelistic party in this city. The
pastors of the various churches unit
ing in this revival meeting assisted
in the opening services and the north
section of the main floor seats was
reserved for the singers under. the
direction of Prof. Myers with Prot.
Harris at the piano. The musical
part Of an evangelistic service is al
ways an inspiring part and the songs
of yesterday morning proved no ex-
ception to the rule.
Before the sermon, J. l.. Peterson
read to the audience a telegram
which had just been received from
Bay City, commencing the Bromley
evangelistic party to the people OF
Webster City whom they congratu-
lated upon having secured the party
i for meeting.
Immediately after the Offering OF
1.-THE morning was taken, Prof. Myers
sang, take Time to be Holy" and
several announcements regarding
the coming meetings were made.
Church members using the envelope
system in their particular church,
are asked to bring their Offering as
usual on Sundays putting it in the
general collection, after which the
envelopes will all be given to the re-
spective church treasurers.
Evangelist Bromley then took
charge of the services, giving first a
short eXpository talk of the intend
ed campaign, and later a short SER
mon upon the text, "Let us Rise up
and Build" The evangelist impress
ed his hearers as man possessing a
magnetic personality, energetic and
consumed with soul-saving desire.
His earnestness especially impressed
favorably ali who heard him. One
pithy bit of advice he gave to the
members of the churches joining in
this union revival, was that they put
themselves passively under the lead
ership Of the party who are conduct
| ing the campaign, as they would do
under similar circumstances in a po-
litical campaign. He asked for the
suspension of criticism until the in
tended work is done and for the
privilege of doing the work in his
own way.
A few excerpts from his short ser
mon Sunday forenoon are as fol-
lows: An intelligent man is contin-
ually asking this question, "Why are
we living?" The man or woman
who thinks, is increasingly trying to
find their place in life. A supreme
faith is the basis of the search for
the life work, but knowledge is that
which is secured in the search. That
is the philosophy underlying the
scheme of redemption. When a man
does find what he is to do, he should
at once assume the responsibility and
go forth with determination to do
the thing he has decided upon. That
might almost be termed as the ideal
man." A hundred such men in a
community makes life worth the liv-
ing.
| So far, Christianity is the only
system Offering to put man where he
ought to be; all other systems fail
in that.
The philosophy propagated in
Europe and elsewhere that man as
an individual amounts to nothing
and that the state has a right to
trample man under foot in the pro-

ARRANGING NESTS FOR HENS
Fowls Do Their Best When Confined in Slightly Darkened Places
 Keep the Little Chicks Warm.


 Sitting hens do best when confined to slightly darkened nests at matching time and not disturbed unless they step on or pick their chickens when matching. In the latter case the chick ems may be removed as soon as dry, in a basket lined with flannel or some other warm material, and kept near a fire until all the eggs are matched. In place of this, the eggs may be removed and placed under a quieter hen whose eggs are matching at the same time
 An incubator may also be used to keep the earliest matched chickens warm, in case they are removed from the nest. If the eggs hatch ulsevenly, those which are slow in hatchiAg may be placed under other hens, as hens often get restless after a part of the chickens are out, allowing the re- maining eggs to become cooled at the very time when steady heat is neces- sary. It is necessary to remove the egg shells and any eggs which have not matched as soon as the matching is over. Hens are fed as soon as pos sible after the eggs are matched. as feeding tends to keep them quiet: otherwise hens will leave the nest.

RESULTS FROM USE OF DRAG
Essential Little Point Overlooked by Large Number of Operators in
 Hitching One Way.

One little point essential to the best results from the use of the King road drag is ignored by large number of operators. Generally they hitch to the drag in one regular way. Having for some unknown reason a prefer ence, they hitch so as to throw the dirt to the left, going round the sec tion of road from left to right, or vice versa, and duplicating the per formance each time the road Is dragged
 This results h the formation of shallow waves in the road surface. which do not contribute to easy rid ing, but decidedly do contribute to the formation of ruts, gutters and chuck holes.
 If the hitch is alternated, one time having the slant of the drag throw the dirt to the left, and the next time having it throw to the right, going, of course, in the opposite direction so as to throw the loose dirt always toward the center of the road, the improved results will be surprising Gentleman.

(By c. H. ALFORD)
 Leguminous crops nave very ili- portant place in every safe and sane system of farming. These crops pos sess characteristic which makes them of the highest value to farmers. This is the power to utilize the free nitrogen of the solid air. When we ex- anime the roots of luxuriantly grow ing plants, we find numerous nodules or tubereles on them. These tuber- cles are caused by certain organisms or bacteria in the soil. It now seems that there Is a special form of bac- teria for each legume grown, though some forms of bacteria in time learn to live on two or more legumes.
 It is a matter of great importance to furnish the soil lacking the neces- sary organisms with a good supply of the right kind There are several methods of putting the necessary bac- teria in the soil. A good way of in- oculating the soil is to soak the seed at planting time in water in which the soil from a field where the legume has been successfully grown for a number of years has been stirred. An other excellent way of inoculating the soil is to drill in with the seed soil in which that particular legume has been grown for number of years. Care should be taken to keep the soil out of the sunshine from the time it is taken from the field until it is worked into the soil of the next, as the rays of the sun kill the bacteria It is best to get the soil and apply it on a cloudy day or late in the afternoon.
 Nitrogen is the costliest element of plant food and is becoming scarcer and dearer so far as it's commercial forms are concerned. This being true,
The Pulaskian., 1916-04-14

a system of farming which provides means for the collection of this valu- able and costly element from the air and a medium through which it can be stored up for the use of succeeding crops is of the highest importance and utility to farmers. Experiments con- ducted at the Alabama station shows that crop of pea vines grown on an acre of sandy soil of moderate fertil- ity contained 115 pounds of nitrogen; an acre of velvet beans, POI pounds; an acre of crimson clover, 143 pounds, and an acre of hairy vetch 202 pounds. An experiment conducted at Louis jana station showed that crop of pea nuts contained 192 pounds of nitrogen; an acre of velvet beans, 191 pounds, and an acre of cowpeas, 10s pounds. When calculated according to the scale of fertilizer valuation, the value of ni- trogen exceeded the cost of a ton of ordinary complete fertilizer. The ni- trogen was equivalent in amount to that contained in from 1,750 pounds to more than one ton of cottonseed meal.
 The question is often asked if it is necessary to blow under the legu- minous crops in order to increase the nitrogen in the soil Of course, the per cent of fertilizer value of the fallen leaves, stems and roots of the leguminous crops left in the field at harvesting time vary. However, the fallen leaves, stems and roots usually contain from one-fifth to one-third of | the manurial value of the entire plants of the leguminous crops. This being true, we are in a position to assert positively that the nitrogen in the soil will be increased by the growing of leguminous crops, even though the crop is grazed off or cut for hay.

STORING MANURE FOR GARDEN
By LIMA R. ROSE.

A common practice is to manure the garden every year, late in the fall or before planting in the spring, no fur ther attention being given. This prac- tice, however, Is not the best.
 The manure for the garden should be kept in a large box with a lid or so screened that flies cannot enter it. Manure heaps are the natural breed ing places of these pests and if they are allowed to remain near the house, uncovered, will prove a great hui sance.
 A good plan Is to use very close wire screen nailed to a frame with hinges for the top. The manure should be spaded often on the top so that the water from the clods or the sprinkling pot may penetrate to all portions of it.
 If kept in box spout should be placed in one corner, at the bottom, so that the water may drain into a sunken barrel.
 This will supply liquid manure which can be used at all seasons when vegetables and flowers are growing. The manure in the bottom should be worked over once or twice a month, working the bottom to the top so that the entire heap may rot. Manure may be kept in this way if the boxes are placed at the farthest end of the garden and if surrounded with vines their presence will never be noticed from the dwelling.

ORCHIDS EASY TO GROW
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

Contrary to the general opinion or chids are by no means difficult to grow to their fullest perfection. An other prevalent error Is that the orchid is exclusively rich mans flower. This is by no means true. Many of the varieties are relatively inexpen- sive. and it is possible by the expendi- ture of a very limited amount of money to have collection of superlative beauty.
 They require the proper kind of a house, the correct materials in which to grow them, care in watering and temperature and the same attention that must be given to every growing thing. but given these, the orch l will reward the grower most abund antly.
 Orchids require plenty of light and air. but must not be exposed to the

KEEP THE SEPARATOR LEVEL
Efficient Work Cannot Be Done Where There Is Vibration of BowI-cream
 Mixes With Skim Milk.

A separator that is not kept level cannot do efficient work, because of the vibration of the bowl. When milk IS separated in balanced bowl, the milk is divided into three layers: cream, skim milk and separator slime. If the machine trembles, portion of the cream is mixed with the skim milk and the fat is lost This loss may be as large as or4 per cent.

ARKANSAS IN BRIEF.

Britt Adams, editor of the Sheri- dan Headlight, has adopted practi- cal plan for helping his country sub- scribers. Quite often farmers find it necessary to leave work and spend sometimes as much as half day in coming to town to get blow point or some other small article MT. Adams announces that he will attend to all such commissions if the farm CTS will phone him. He goes further and offers to buy the needed articles and allow the farmer to pay when he comes to town.

 They are of the easiest culture and bloom in the greatest profusion. This class is extremely low in price and offers untold enjoyment to the orchid lover of limited means.
 The odontoglossums are the most ex. tensively grown of all orchids and re- quire an even, cool moist tempera- ture throughout the year. They are among the most easily cultivated, and will reward the grower bountifully.
 The flowers are fairly bewildering in their beauty and their unlimited va riety of color and markings. Many of them are very low priced, making it possible to have very extensive col. lection.

KEEP SOIL LOOSE ON TOP
By G. GEoFRY.

Never allow the soil to become hard and baked; stir it frequently and as deeply as possible without disturbing the roots.
 This will increase it's capacity to hold moisture, which is very neces- sary to the welfare of the plant.
 Soil around leaf crops must be kept loose to cause them to grow rapidly, which will make them tender.

It is time that our fruit growers and farmers learned to standardize their products in the same manner as the manufacturer of staple food ar ticles. A reputation for perfect prod uct, together with honesty in measure and packing is the greatest asset that the fruit grower has.

GROW ORNAMENTAL GRASSES

When planning flower beds and bor- ders do not overlook the claims to beauty of the ornamental grasses. They are easy to grow, beautiful and graceful during the summer, and they can be cut when in bloom for deco rating the house in the wintertime. Give them well-drained soil and plenty of water.

CARE OF STRAWBERRY PLANT
One Should Remove All FuIl-Grown Stems, Leaving Only Youngest
 Ones-Trim Of Roots.

Strawberry plants should be trimmed before setting, leaving only tie middle leaf stem on the crown. This is the last stem, so it may be said that one should remove all full grown stems, leaving only the young est one. Then trim off about one-third of the length of the roots and the plant is ready for the ground.

Nine-tenths of the state farm at CummiEs, now used exclusively for negro convicts, is again under water, from few inches to several feet deep, according to reports reaching the office of the Penitentiary Commis- sion. No crops had been planted and the water will do no damage, except to delay farm work, according to J. A. Bradsher, chairman of the com mission.
 'Levees which broke during the. February flood have not been fully re- paired" he said, land until the work is completed any rise will flood a large portion of the farm. The dam age from the present high water will be negligible None of the convicts or officials living on the farm have been driven from their quarters and nothing of consequence has been damaged. The water is going down farming operations soon."
 Members of the commission say plans for operating the farm will not be changed. The relative acreage of cotton, corn and small grains will be the same, except there will be more oats and no wheat. Alfalfa that was killed by the January flood will be re- placed by corn, cotton or oats. It is planned to raise large crop of po- tatoes and to raise enough garden truck on the farm to practically fur nish the food supply except meat.
