with blue grass, ideal to feed on toward

are benefited by the packing effect.
We feed on the clay soils only when

Steak-eating is habit hundreds of
years old. 1t was at the time of Eng
lands Queen Anne in the early 18th
century that beef steak clubs were
first organized. Members were the
great men and chief wits of the time.
In rural areas years ago, horse riders
placed beef steaks under saddles on
rides to make the steaks tender. But
there was slight resemblance between
the beef of those days and the fine
product available almost everywhere
in America now.

iacent fields. We spread 800 pounds of
As per cent phosphate when the fields
are plowed out of alfalfa to balance the
fertility.
We haven't decided what to do with
the old feed lot. We hauled out 1000
loads of well-rotted manure from where
it was the thickest. On most of the lot
the manure is too thin and mixed in
with dirt to scrape up, and yet the fer
tility is so high that grain crops lodge
badly and produce little grain.
It is difficult to set money value on
manure, but we've found that profit
able crops can't be grown without fer
tility. Since manure supplies cheap nit
rogen, considerable potash and some
phosphates, we figure we can't afford
to let it waste away in feed lots and
brush area Spreading it as we feed,
we conserve most of the fertility with
little extra effort and expense.

known as the Golden Soup?
ANSWER: This soup, in the
language of the Yiddish speaking |
people, came to be known as the |
"Goldene Yoch." Some sources
claimed that the Yiddish word for |
soup, which is "Yoch," represents
the endings Of the opening words
of the verse in the Psalms which
reads For He will give his angels
charge over you to guard you in
all your ways" Psalms 9I. This
was considered an omen that the
Lord watches over newly married
couples.
QUESTION: Why is il that a
ring is given to consecrate the
marriage between bride and
groom?
ANSWER: Essentially, of
course, it was the fact that the
object had a certain minimum Of
intrinsic monetary value which
mattered (the value of a perutah).
Rings came to be the object of
solemnizing marriages later on.
Various reasons are offered. For
one thing the presentation of the
ring seemed to have been the
method of appointment to high
office in Biblical literature. Thus
did Pharoah to Joseph and
Ahaseuraus to Haman and later
to Mordecai. In the aforemention-
ed instances the King gave his
ring to the newly appointed
Prime Minister.
There are some writer's who
feel that the ring came to be
used because its shape symbolized
sense of eternity and it thus be-
came an omen that the marriage
and its happiness should last for
ever-like the continuity of the
circle which outlines the ring.
Others claim that a ring is SYM
bolic of a link in the chain of
tradition and that the usage of
the ring indicates that this newly
organized family will be a link in
the traditional ancestry of the
people of Israel. From a practical
point Of view, of course, the ring
is that object which can be worn
most conspicuously and can be
kept closer to the individual by
being worn constantly. This too
might have had something to do
with its usage.
QUESTION: Why is IL that in
some places IL Is customary TO
hold the wedding in the courtyard
Of the synagogue under the stars?
ANSWER: The synagogue is a
sanctified place. The moon is
sanctified once a month. A marri-
age is considered an act Of sane.
tification (Kiddushin). The three
objects of sanctification are thus
tied together by having the we'd
ding in the synagogue courtyard
in the moonlight. Some claim
that having the wedding under
the stars is symbolic of the bless
ing given in the Bible that the
children of Abraham shall be like
the stars. This points out to the
bride and groom that the Lord
will bless them with children
which will be like the stars In
heaven.

Come lovely and soothing death.

Serenely arriving, arriving.
In the day, in the night. to all, to each,
Sooner or later, delicate death"
This is strong medicine, but one must
come to it at last.
OF all the birds, the hermit thrush,
perhaps, would praise death, If we could
understand the gist Of his simple
melody; but only in the fervid imagina-
ton of the poet. stirred as it was by the
death of his great commander, can we
hear the words.
This is we'll. This is what poetry is
for. In everyday life, plain, simple
words will suffice, but at certain mo-
ments, when emotion stirs the heart,
prose is not felt to be enough. The
heart of man pines for something else,
and true poetry seems to be what one
longs for; compared with some Of the
nonsense Of some modern poetry" the
work of Walt Whitman Is as honest and
plain as any prose, but interfused with
a strong sense Of the need for some
thing more. If some Of his poems
offend. keep on until you find some that
do not. We assure any seeker after wis
dom that pearl Of great price u there.

There ought to be law banishing

One may think Whitmans words, as
attributed to the mockingbird, rather
beside themselves-and this is just

Mr.. Cutters Contribution

AS the Presidents special assistant for
national security affairs, Robert Cutler has
rendered distinguished service in one Of the
most sensitive of all Federal Jobs And now
that he has resigned from the post, to return
to private life and his native Boston, it may
rightly be said that the country at large
is indebted to him for important labors that
cannot be publicized in detail because they
have had to do with top-secret matters Of
defense and foreign policy.
For Mr.. Cutler has been the operating
executive of the National Security Council.
AS such, in addition to having played
major role in reinvigorating the NSC as
the Governments highest policy-making
agency, he has participated in procedures
that have resulted in decisions of the great
est import to the United States and the free
world In general. Further, besides having
served as key administrator privy to Sc
crets of the most vital sort, he has been
Evening star., 1955-03-11

perhaps the closest of the Presidents con-
fidants and personal advisers man who
because of the unique sensitivity of his
duties, and not because of any lack of nat
ural gregariousness, has kept himself out
of the Emelight and carried on his work
with the utmost discretion and real pas
sion for anonymity.
1t is because of this that relatively very
few Americans know anything about Mr..
Cutler. But the Nation, even though it has
seldom seen his name in the headlines, owes
him thanks none the less for what he has
contributed to it since President Eisenhower
called him to the White House. He is leav-
ing his post in excellent shape for Dillon
Anderson, his successor, and he has every
reason to take proper pride in the fine ex-
ample he has set as a public servant.
