PROOF OF BIBLICAL TRUTH
Religious Writer Points Out Parallel
Between Germany and the Re-
corded Fall o. Man.

The world war has brought to the
fore striking illustrations Of the truth
OF Bible doctrines az usually interpre-
ted by what is called the old theology.
Glance for a moment at some Of the
old Bible truths that the war has illus
lrated and indicated.
Take. for example, the fall Of man
IS recounted in Genesis. Some have
had difficulty with this fundamental
doctrine of the Bible. I was talking a
short time ago with q brilliant young
college man, stepped In the scientific
skepticism Of the age. and he said:
But, doctor. think how irrational is
the theory that man fell In a garden,
Just created by an all-wise and all
powerful God!"
l replied by pointing out the very
interesting fact that modern Germany
also fell In garden. There was not
country upon the earth more blest
and prosperous than Germany. Her
progress in all lines, except morals
and spirituality, had been marvellous.
If she had remained true to right
ideals she would have gone on I'M
doubtedly into the leadership of the
whole earth. But even in that garden
OF prosperity and peace the devil Of
seihshnesS, untruth and false ambition
entered, and the ruling classes fell,
and. like the fall in Eden, carried 9TH
ers down with them.-Dr. John Roach

Celery seed should be sown in the
hotbed or window box about the time
OF the last frosts In the spring. The
seed is very slow In terminating and
the plants are small and delicate.
They are improved by transplanting
at least twice.
Celery requires deep, rich. moist
soil with plenty of well-rotted manure
or fertilizer and frequent shallow cul-
tivation. In the garden, celery may be
planted after some early crop, such as
lettuce, radlshes or peas. As soon as
the plants attain considerable size the
leaves should be drawn together and
little soil compacted about the base
Of the plant to hold 1t upright. II the
blanching Is done with earth, care
should be taken that the hearts of the
plants do not become filed. Boards,
paper or other material may be used
for blanching, but earthing up will pro-
duce the finest flavor.
Celery may be stored and kept for
winter use by placing 1t in old hotbeds,
and covering 1t with fodder or straw !;
In trenches covered with coarse ma
nure or straw; In outdoor cellars; or

prepared by the United States Depart

More bog-cholera serum was manu-
featured last year than in any previous
year, despite decrease In the amount
Of hog cholera. The increased demand
for hog-cholera serum Is ascribed to
the greater value Of hogs. with the
consequent greater loss when one dies

Of using serum manufactured under
federal supervision.
Department of agriculture officials
warn hog raisers against the indis
criminate use of medicines or proprie-
tary preparations other than serums,
as experience has shown that nothing
except serum, properly prepared and
administered, Is effective. Medicines
other than serums, according to de-
partment officials, are worse than use

or prevent disease, but allow the loss
Of the animals they are advertised to

Federal regulations require that all

used in the treatment of hogs in the
prevention OF hog cholera. be procured
direct from farms and not transported
through stockyards or similar places

safeguard all animals must not only
be inspected by bureau veterinarians

The hog should be considered as a

lief is not substantiated by the feeding
tests that have been conducted at sew
eral agricultural experiment stations.
A full feed of grain TO hogs on good
pasture not only produces the most
rapid gains. but usually gives the most
profitable results. When account Is
taken Of the saving of labor and the
reducing of loss from disease by mar
ketlng animals at seven and nine
months of age instead of keeping them
for year or more, the advantage Is
almost always with the more rapid
growth. The self-feeder system which
permits hogs TO eat grain at will either
in pastures or dry lots is becoming
more and more popular in the corn
belt states. and there seems TO be no
valid reason why self-feeders should
not prove equally successful In all
