But prohibition Is also contrary to the
divine order. God is the author Of the
law of fermentation. Without this law
not a drop Of liquor could be made.

Not until then can any minister afford
to spouse this heresy.
Dry orators sometimes attempt to
meet these arguments by declaring that
the wine mentioned in the texts l have

they pretend to be scholars, but their
assertions prove their scholarship moth
ing but pretention.
To prove that the wine mentioned in

testimony of two or three important wit

contention. In volume four, page 5000,
Dr. Cheyne says;
"Alayin denotes like its Greek and
Latin congeners 'Oinos' ad 'Vinum, the
juice Of the grape fermented and ma
tured."
These are the words that appear in
the original of all the texts quoted 20 me.
In volume -, page 1872, Of the new

knowledge, we read;
"The universal designation for fer

SHARKS TO SERVE MANKIND
Veteran Fisherman Believes That,
Properly Handled, the Meat Of
the Fish ls Edible.

Russell ]. Coles of Danville, Va.
who taught Colonel Roosevelt how to
harp0on devilfish. announced that he
has discovered n method of preventing
worldwide starvation by tests he has
carried out with regard to certain spe-
cles Of the dark shark and ray family.
Mr.. Coles has Just come back from
Morehead City. ~ c.. where he caught
number Of fish. and despite the pop
ular belief that the eating Of them
would bring death In a terrible form,
he decided to take the risk and he
sampled several Of them. He has sent
complete record of his findings to
Herbert Hoover In the hope that the
food administrator will incline an ear
and start the fashion Of shark eating.
Mr.. Coles believes that the sides of
the larger fish may be tanned and con-
verted Into marketable leather.
After trying several methods the
Danville man gives the following re-
cipe for cooking shark steak:
Salt heavily for 30 minutes, soak out
In three waters, parboil few minutes,
change water, parboil again, cook
heavily seasoned and serve hot. The
amount Of seasoning must be used ac-
cording to the 0d0r Of the meat.

IN0CULATI0N IS AID
when GROWING PEAS
Found Especially Beneficial in
Wisconsin on Light, Sandy
and Acid Soils.

That the incubation Of peas espe-
cially when growp on sandy soil will
greatly increase the yield under ordi-
nary circumstances is the conclusion
reached as the result of tests carried
on this summer by the college Of agn
culture. University Of Wisconsin, in
cooperation with one Of the largest Of
the states canning factories, located
In La Crosse county.
Sharp differences between inoculated
and untreated peas were noticeable on
q number Of farms where the artificial
cultures were used. Although no def
mite weights have been taken at this
time, both e. B. Fred and r. e.
Vaughan, who inspected the fields az
representatives Of the college Of agri.
culture, state that the increase caused
by inoculation will In certain cases
average tenfold.
Individual plants from the untreat-
ed portion of these fields rarely had
more than one pod containing two or
three inferior quality peas each, while
on the inoculated portions Of the fields
the peas had an average Of four or five
pods, each having from four to six
peas of excellent quality" is the brief
summary Of results secured to date.
Little or no difference between In.
oculated and untreated peas was noted
on the clay soils. The most benefit
from inoculatlon seems to be realized
where the soil is decidedly light,
sandy and acid.

good advantage In controlling disease
and the following directions for their
use are given:
/. Sweep ceilings. side walls, stall
partitions, floors and other surfaces
until free from cobwebs and dust.
2. Remove all accumulations of filth
by scraping; and II woodwork has be-
come decayed, porous or absorbent, It
should be removed. burned and re-
placed with new material.
8. II the floor Is Of earth, remove
four inches from the surface; and In
places where 1t shows staining with
urine, a sufficient depth should be re-
moved to expose fresh earth. All
earth removed should be replaced with
earth from an uncontaminated source,
or a new floor of concrete may be
laid. which is very durable and easily
cleaned.
4. The entire interior Of the stable,
especially the feeding troughs and
drains, as well as milking stools and
all other implements, should be sat
urated with disinfectant, as cresol
compound or carbolic acid, six ounces
to every gallon Of water In each case.
After this has dried, the stalls, walls
and ceilings may be covered with
whitewash (lime wash), to each gallon
of which should be added fonr ounces
of chloride Of lime.
5. All refuse and material from sta.
BILE and barnyard should be removed
to a place not accessible to cattle OF
hogs. The manure should be spread
on fields and turned under. In add.
ton, the yards should be disinfected
by sprinkling literally with solution
of copper sulphate, FIVE ounces to q
gallon Of water.
The best method of applying the dis
infectant and the lime wash Is by
means Of strong spray pump, such
as is used by orchardists.
This method is efficient in disinfec-
ton against most Of the contagious
and infectious diseases Of animals
and should be applied Immediately
following any outbreak.

PIGS BUSINESS TO
DEVELOP Big FRAME
Good Pasture, Feed, Exercise
and Sanitation Are Import
ant Factors.

Wrom the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
Keep the spring pigs growing all
through the summer. It is the pigs
business during this time to develop
a good frame. to grow bone, muscle
and vital organs, and to lay on fat.
Plenty Of pasture, some grain, exer-
else. and good sanitary quarters are
all necessary If the spring pig is to be
thrifty and profitable, say specialists
Of the United States department Of ag-
riculture.
Give the spring pigs plenty Of good
pasturage. They should be kept on
pasture as long as possible and gnin
the benefit Of its cheap nutrients, espe-
cially mineral and protein, and its
tonic and digestive qualities. But
pigs on pasturage alone, even alfalfa.
need some grain supplement. The
amount of grain or other concentrated
feed used would depend on how much
pasturage Is available, on the cost
factor Of grain or other feeds, on the
age and condition Of the pigs, and the
time at which the farmer expects to
market them. To be ready for the
early fall markets, spring pigs must
be fed a heavier grain ration than pigs
intended for the winter market.
Less protein supplement Is needed
when pigs are run on leguminous
pastures. Under most farm conditions
the pigs will gain well on or 2 per
cent grain ration. The self-feeding
method makes for cheap and rapid
gains. II the grain ration is limited,
the hand-feeding is better. By feed
ing once a day In the early evening,
pigs take greater advantage Of the
pasture and Craze hungrily during the
cool of the morning or afternoon.
Plenty Of fresh, Clean drinking water
always should be available.
Pigs on pasture usually get enough
exercise. They should have a clean,
dry, well-ventilated shelter to guard
against exposure to storms, and to sup
ply shade. A concrete wallow will add
to the pigs comfort, and a layer OF
oil on the water will keep down lice,
as will an oiled sack on a rubbing
post, or sprinkling the pigs with crude
oil every two weeks.
