A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS

of dreadful things We're brought to
the little people of the Green Mead
Ow and in the Green Forest. They
were stories that were whispered,
for they were too dreadful to tell
aloud. They were not the stories Of
those who had been killed tnAt
seemed so dreadful. They were the
stories of those who had been wound
ed, but had escaped the hunters only
to suffer helplessly.
So the beautiful October days were
filled with dread. The little people
in feathers and fur became so filled
with fear that the rustling Of a fall
in gleaf would make their hearts
jump. They ate because they must
eat to live. But they took no joy in
their food. They ate hurriedly,
snatching a bite and then looking
and listening for the approach of a
hunter with terrible gun. Between
meals they sought hiding places.
Even those who were supposed to be
protected by the laws passed by man,
shared in this dreadful fear, for they
had learned that there were hunters
who would shoot at any living thing.
Not even Striped Chipmunk was safe
from these hunters.
Peter Rabbit kept close to the dear
Old Briar Patch. Only at night did
he leave it. Always by the break Of
day he was back there. Reddy Fox
and Old Man Coyote never came out
of hiding until the Black Shadows
had appeared. Longbill the Wood
cock kept to the deepest thickets he
could find. Blacky the Crow in pass
ing to and fro flew higher than he
was in the habit Of doing. Sammy
Jay was strangely silent. And SO
the shadow of fear lay over all the
beautiful landscape.

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O. THOMAS

ing time and money to help all the
world have Bibles. I am sorry to
state that there are probably some
in this part of the land who do not
possess a Bible, but it is their own
fault. Few are so poor that we
could not pay at least twenty-five
cents for portion of the Holy
Scriptures.
1 wonder how many Of you moth
ers are teaching your children the
best that is in literature. verses
from the Bible and poetry that has
the Bible as a foundation?
What a little child memories
stays with it cen down to old age.
One OF my standards is this poem
that my mother taught me before 1
was nine years old, and / wish that
some of you would do the same for
your child:
Holy Bible Book divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine;
Mine to tell me whence I came;
Mine to teach me what 1 am.
Mine to chide me when I rove;
Mine to show a Savior's love;
Mine thou art to guide and guard,
Mine to punish or reward.
Mine to tell Of joys to come,
And the rebel sinners doom;
O, thou Holy Book divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine"
What would this world be If we
did not have the Bible? Few of us
study it as we should, and we need
not wait till New Years to resolve
to give it our loving and prayerful
attention. Show me a community
that is not moral, that is not a help
to the world by the sort of young
people that it is sending out, and l
will prove to you that the fathers
and mothers are not Bible reading
folks. You cannot gather figs from
thistles, and you cannot have high
standard of living unless you have
Gods Word as a lamp unto your
feet.

Fertilizing Fall-Sown Cereal
Crops

W. M. N, Toccoa, Ca, writes:
What is the best fertilizer for
wheat, oats and watermelons:
also what is the best feed for
dairy cows?
A good fertilizer to put under
oats and wheat at this season of the
year is a mixture Of acid phosphate
and kainit. From 200 to 800 pounds
of the former mixed with 100 pounds
of the latter will prove satisfactory
We seldom use any nitrogen under
our cereal crops in the fall of the
year. In the spring, however, we top
dress them with SO to 100 pounds
of nitrate of soda. In your section
of the state, this material should be
broadcasted over the crop about the
first of March. Put il on when the
leaves are dry so that the soda will
not burn them. Nitrate of soda, as
you doubtless understand, does not
need to be covered into the soil. The
acid phosphate and kainit to which
reference has been made should be
worked into the land either before
or at the time the grain is sown.
WatermelOns require a high-grade
fertilizer. We should think a formu.
la containing 3 to 4 per cent nitro.
gen, to 10 per cent phosphoric
acid, and 8 to per cent potash
should be used with this crop. We
would apply it at the rate of 500

ed into the ground before the melons
are planted. A side-application of 200
pounds of this mixture will often
prove helpful. About the middle OF
the season, the use of some nitrate
of soda will often stimulate growth
A very great variety of foods may
be used for dairy COWS. Grass or
substitutes therefor provide the best
roughage. If you do not happen to
have a silo, the hest mixture of
roughage to use will be made up of
cOrnstalks, sorghum and native
hays. These materials may be run
through a cutting box and then
moistened with water containing
some salt. Let the mass soften for
a few hours before it is fed. A grain
ration may, of course, be fed. 1t
may consist of one-third to one-half
corn, and the balance may be made
up Of cottOnseed meal, peanut meal,
or bran and shorts. A mixture of
concentrates generally gives the
best results. Feed the grain mixture
at the rate of about one pound for
each pound of milk produced.

@ad's Blessed Word


IN thinking of the many blessings
TAT have been mine during this year
NAT is almost gone, 1 thought of
that song,
Count your many blessings,
Name them one by one,
and when I had called over health,
loving relatives, friends and all sorts
Ok blessings [ remembered that one
Of the very first is Gods own word.
Then there came to me the appeal
Of the American Bible society for
funds to help carry on the great
work that has placed Bibles in homes
in every land that the sun shines on.
That in turn reminded me of that
little Welsh girl, the little maiden
that caused the Bible society to be
organized at the risk of taking Goals
to Newcastle" l am going to tell
you about her:
One hundred and twenty years
ago a little Welsh girl, Mary Jones,
walked barefoot over the hills to the
home of the nearest preacher and
timidly asked him to please give her
a Bible. She wanted one of her
own, and was so overcome with dis
appointment when she was told that
there was none to give her, that she
could not keep the tears from rum
ming down her cheeks. This touch
ed the tender heart of the man of
God and he went and got one that
he had for a friend. Mary went home
rejoicing and the preacher could not
keep the incident out Of his mind.
He did not do as many Of us would
have done, let the matter drop with
merely thinking Of it. He went to
London, gathered some friends to-
gether and told them about the little
girl. Right there a committee was
formed to collect money and to have
Bibles for all Of Wales, and the
British Isles.
Then broad-minded member
said: ''If for Wales, why not for the
world?" And from that day to this
there have been good people spend

know there is no other man in the
case. She just thinks she wants
freedom, and she is sacrificing me-
as she has sacrificed everybody anu

LEONARD.
Answer: do not think that a
woman who is so selfish and seIf-cen-
tered will ever make any man happy'
and that the sooner he puts her out
of his life the better. That type of
woman never loves any one but her
self, and the pity of it is that, by
some freak of nature, she seems
able to inspire a deeper love in mec
than any good woman ever gets.
I certainly do think that it is pos
sible to be too good to a woman, just
as it is possible to be too good to
husband. 1t is just as easy to spoil
q husband or wife as it is to spoil
baby, and they react the same way
to it. They get peevish, and frettul,
and howl for the moon. and need

frivolous wives could be steadied if
their husbands would put RESPONSE
bilities upon them.
Men think they are being kind to
their wives when they work them

1t is work that keeps women out OF

them in love with their husbands.
Because no woman ever cares long

Late Planting of Cotton is
InadyiSabIe

D. o. P, Pavo.. Ga, writes:
What do you think of planting
cotton about June l here? [
think the boil weevils that have
come though the winter have
died about this time, and then
we would have June, July, Aug
ust and even September to make
our cotton. Would not all the
hold-over weevils be dead before
our cotton comes up?
The late planting of cotton as a
means of combating and overcoming
weevil damage has been extensively
tested in all the territory to the west
of us. In no instance has this meth
cd of planting cotton succeeded.
While a good many boil weevils so
into Information, only a few of them
pass through the winter successful
ly. They are all out of Information
in your section of the state probably
by July l. They may even all be
>ut in certain seasons by June 10.
When weevils come out of hiberna-
ton, they Immediately locate the
young cotton plants, and you find
them living in the bud very shortly
after the cotton has come up. These
weevils should be picked and de
stroyed. They may, of course, also
be poisoned. Each pair Of weeVils
that is allowed to escape will prob
ably have anywhere from 100000
to II 900, 900 descendants when Sep
TENDER arrives. 1t must be very
plain to you, therefore, that the
only chance of growing cotton un-
der weevil conditions is to plant it
early, work it rapidly, and develop
as much of the crop as possible. in
a short space of time. Where this
can be done, from one-half bale and
upward of cotton per acre can be
produced under conditions of good
management and proper fertillZa-
ton. There will be years when it
will be much more difficult to ac-
comphsh this end on account of eX-
cessive rainfall.
Early in the season, one may use
homemade syrup mixtures for the
poisoning Of the weevil. When the
plants are larger, busting must be
undertaken. The intelligent and
skillful use Of calcium arsenate as
