WINTER FLOWING OF VALUE
Importance of Opening Up Soil Not
Generally Realized by Farmers
and Gardeners

The Importance of opening up the
soil Of all land that was not put Into
fall crops In time for it to get the full
benefit Of di~sintegrating frosts and
enriching SHOWS Is not so generally
realized by farmers and home gar
deners as 1t should be.
More particularly are these atmos-
pheric effects Of value on clay and
other stiff soils, and In the vegetable
garden and the orchard the turning
over and ~loosening of the earth ex-
poses the alternating forms of many
insects Il the sharp eyes Of birds,
poultry and the smaller rodents, while
those that are not eaten perish from
the disturbance.
While 1t is altogether better that
this working of the ground should be
done in the fall, before the ground
has frozen, it can also often be done
during open spells from midwinter
until March, with the subsequent
freezes and SHOWS to produce the good
effects desired. OF course, this can
not be done unless the warm spells
are of sufficient duration to have the
ground thoroughly settled, else the
Job would be difficult and unsatisfac-
tory.

labor can for the most part be per-
formed Il the winter. or at other
times when the farm work is slack.
War conditions make 1t especially
important that the farm woodlot be
utilized to the fullest at this time In
particular as a source Of fuel. Coal
Is high and scarce and even govern
ment Intervention cannot insure an
adequate supply throughout the win
ter on account of labor and trans
portation difficulties. Every cord Of
fuel wood that Is used will relieve
the tension by just that much, and
every farmer who can do SO VIII

tage to put In q good supply of cord
wood for himself, and to sell to 9TH
ers wherever possible. Many farmers
owning woodlots within hauling dis
lance Of towns and cities are now
finding a profitable sale for cordwood
in large quantities.

KNEW THE BIBLE
FEATHER NeaIe," an Evangelist Of
Washington's Time.
Advised Young Preachers to Commit
the Holy Writ to Memory,
a. He Did.

In these days when Billy Sunday oc-
cupies public attention, we recall an
evangelist preacher of W~ashington's
time, says an exchange. II was late
In life when Father Neale'' vas con-
verted and S o great was his zeal that
he embraced every possible chance to
preach, and then preached as long as
the people would stay to hear him.
Full of anecdotes and fond of humor-
u stories, he amused the crowds that
gathered around him and often con-
verted some wandering sheep. He was
a carpenter by trade, and when he was
not preaching he was working, for he
never took any money from his au-
diences. His only book was the Bible,
and when he found a young preacher
using a Concordance to aid him in find
Ing texts ne would say:
do as / do, study the Bible till you
know 1t by heart" And he, had studied
it so thoroughly that he knew the least
incidents recorded in 1t, and could cite
them whenever they would come i'm
play. Once he heard a minister trying
to prove that the people could not have
been immersed in the Jordan because
that river was SO small that n man
could dam it up with his foot. At the
close of the sermon Father Neale got
up and said:
II don't pretend to have any great
book learnin', but there's one book I
do know, and thnt's the Bible. That's
my book. Now, our brother here says
the Jordan is so small that you may
stop it with your foot. His books may
tell him so, but my book tells me an
other story. I read in the Bible how
David, when he was flying from Absa-
lom, and wanted to cross that same
river, had to hire a boat to carry him
over! That's what my book tells mel"
Some of Father Neale's r~ecolIections
Of Washington are little known to the
readers of today. and some have never
been published. Here is an anecdote
found in an old journal:
"ono OF W-ashiagton,s habits he
mentioned as brought to Mount Yer
o from the camp where everything
was sacrificed to dispatch. Whenever
Washington received a note by a priv
ate messenger, he never asked the
bearer into the house, but usually took
the letter himself at the front door
and read 1t standing with his head
bare In the open air. If 1t required a
verbal reply he gave 1t. and dismissed
the bearer; or II he must write, he re
tired to his Office, wrote the answer,
and bringing it out. delivered it to the
messenger with his own hand"
Father Neale states "that he was
once engaged doing some carpenter
work on one of the northeast windows
that opens upon the front piazza of
the mansion at Mount Vernon, and
several ladies' were taking tea on the
collonade. Washington was walking
up and down joining in the CONVERSE
ton. One of the ladies asked him his
opinion Of some Of the battles of Ma
poleon, the fame Of which was then
ringing through the world. Washing
toms reply, as heard By Father Neale,
was in these words: Something more
than the art of man achieved those
~battles.'"

HELPFUL TRACTOR HINTS

OIL and grease on n tractor are
cheaper than repairs plus time
lost In obtaining them and get

Looking over all parts Of the

The wrong kind Of lubricat-
ing oil wastes power and fouls

to kind and quantity of oil.
Sharp plows call for less pow
