Answer: You cannot secure a per- ' pasturemanent One strain of this plant is annual in its habits, that is the annual sweet clover completes its life in one year, just the same as eats or letealey. An- other strain takes two years to com- plete its life. Alfalfa, a else rela- tive, lasts for four to six years.

The failure of the clover WaR due to not getting the seed covered enough, as it was late and the weather dry. This pieee is quite well seeded to our contmon weeds., What method cara you suggest to get alfalfa startedon this ground? I thought of plowing the rye under after it had made some growth, but this might make it late in the season as the ground is high and sandy, I once got a good stand of alfalfa sown in August after rye had been harvested for seed. 2.1 rais- ed a few kidney beans last year. They were badly diseased, vines partially dying, and some entirely' when they were half-grown. When the pods are fed to sheep will thle manure carry the disease to next year's crop? Is it true that there is an improved dark red variety that are not diseased? Answer: L Sow about 15 to 18 lbs. of alfalfa seed per nare ou top your wheat and rye. Also top drees this with about 260 lbs. per acre of a 2-10-2 fertilizer. Harrow the piece lightly, with the rows. Plow the piece of ground that remains .eamedrietely, and treat it as advised the answer to the last question, sec Sing it with alfalfa at the rate of 16 to 18 lbs. Out the grain fairlyhigh and do net pasture it next fall. 2. Bdan diseases are very difficfilt to control, because some of the t diseases• f bacterial origin. Whether or not spraying is of service is as yet an open question. The best procedure is to obtain disease-free seeds whieh has been grown in sonfe new part of the Count -1:y where bean diseases have not appeared'. Plant this seed on land which has net grown beans for some years. To avoid introducing the dis- ease germs in manuee I would advise your using fertilizer analyzing about 2-10-2 at the Tate of 500 lbs. per acre, scattering this on your bean ground a few days Wpm planting and work- ing it in by thorough harrowing. The I germs of bean diseases will not sur- vive passage through farm animals, but it may be ea'rnied n e Las ; from bean straw which goe.s into the manure. I do not know of any .bean I varieties that are immune to bean di - eases. Clean Clean seed., and clean culture are the only preventatives so far established as entirely effective. SprayErig Formulas Small uantities "An ounce of prevention is Worth a pound of cure an old saying that applies ezpecially to the zontroI of in- sect pests. What would becoine of our fine -cabbage plants if left to their OW11 • mercy as far as sprayin.g them is contemned? They would have to with- stand the attacks Of insects from the time they were set out in the sprirog until frost hit them in the fall. Ea,rly in their existence the cutworm might destroy them when it is on its nightly s.earch for food. The small bee -beetle may riddle the lees -es with the tiny holes it makes, while a little later the cabbage worms would probably come in abundance. All of these can be prevented from their destructive work by the proper application of poison. The onion becomes infested with mag- gots that perforate the bulbous root, making it unfit for food. Every year these insects put in their appear- ance in the garden and just as often take their share el the vegetables .g,rown. Knowing what the trouble is does not always means an available remedy. We know that the proper epray put an at the right time would have prevented these troubles. .The question of what to spray for the var- ious insect troubles may cause many not to spray at all, but with many oth- ers this is not the case. They know with what to spray and often just when to apply it, probably having the proper ingredients on hand, but the question that troubles them is how to mix,- in the proper proportions„ enough spray for a few rows of potatoes or a small patch of eabbages, perhape is gallon or:two.. , A The formulas 'given below are in terms meet, familiar to the housewife and are meant for those having a Small patch', ground fer garden pur- poses.

Kerosene emulsion is one of the old- est of the contact insecticides and has been supplanted to a large extent by the nicotine spray. Crude Carbolic Acid Emulsion. Standard Forinula,-Crude carbolic oalclied,goanneonp.int; soap, one pound; water, Household Formula. -Crude car- bolic acid, one teaspoonful; soap, one cubic inch; water, half a eupful. For Use Against Root Maggots. Shave a cubic inch of laundry soap in a half cupful of hot, soft water and then add the teaspoonful of crude car- bolic acid. This can he emulsified as described above for the kerosene emulsion. When ready this will be sufficient for one gallon of water. Care should be taken, as in the kero- sene solution.. to keep the material agitated while spraying. Pyrethrum. Standard Formula.-Pyretbeurn, one ounce; water, two gallons. Household Formula. -Pyrethrum, two teaspoonfuls; water, one quart. ; ; For Cabbage Worms. Pyrethrum is usually applied as a powder, dusted on the plant, either alone or mixed with lime or sulphur. Another equally good way is to use it RS a spray. Into a quart of water add two teaspoonfuls of pyrethrum and stir well, it will not dissolve but will remain' in suspension. It kills insects theough their breathing pores but is harmless to man. 'Care should be tak- en to use fresh pyrethrum or else good results cannot be expected. It should be purchased in air -tight packages and kept in a tightly closed fruit -jar if it is not all immediately used. Arsenate of Lead. Standard Formula. -Arseeste of lead (powdered), one and a half pounds; (or arsenate of lead paste), three.potinds; water, fifty gallone. Household Formula. ---Arsenate of lead. (powdered), three tablespoon- fuls; (or aesena.te of lead paste), one tablespoonful; water, one gallon. For the Codling -moth Caterpillars en Plants, Flea -Beetles, `and Other Chewing Tr/sects., Measure into a cuo three tables - spoonfuls of powdered arsenate of lead and fill the cep about two-thirds full of water. With a spoon mix these so that a good paste is forrned and then add enough water to make four quarts of poison. This will be strong enough for most of the chewing in- sects, but for the more resistant ones such as the potato beetle, it will be more effective to use twice as much arsenate of lead or RiX tablespoonfuls to a gallon of water. Bordeaux mix- ture can be used in place of the water if it is desired. If arsenate of lead paste_ is ueed it will require twice as much, be weight, ae the powdered form The powdered arsenate of lead is much lighter than the paste of the, same bulk so that apparently more of the powder is being used. Arsenate of lead hag many advan- eages over Paris green, inasmuch as it will stick to the foliage -much better i and will not easily wash off. Also it will not be as likely to injure tbe fol- iage and can •qf'ely be use,d in combi-, nation with lime-sulphUr sprays. I Arsenate of lead is also applied in the form of, a dust when it is mixed with either air-slakedlime or se p and applied with a specially constrict- ed dust -gun et- else dusted by hand.

V. 8. Jeremiah had spoken from a conspicuous pleee in the temple court, probably at a festival when the temple wee theonged with \worshippers ,from, the country well as iromeJereselem. The priests; were the officials of the temple and naturally resented his pre- ctection that the temple would be de- stroyed. Jeremiah himself belonged to a prieetly family, oh 1: 1. The prophets; wore false prophets who delivered messages that pleased the people. Thou shalt surely die. The officials doubtless thought thet Jere- Iniah's pronourreernent would shake thp national confidence at a critaeal period, and therefore he was a men- ace to the state. All through his car- eer Jeremiah had to faee scorn and hatred; he was the most pathetic and the lenelieet of al the prophets. He loved his people deeply and it ainlost broke his heart to denounce them. V. 9. Like Shiloh. The impartant temple at Shiloh which. contained the ark had been destroyed durisig the . . Philistine_ wars, Cam. ch. 1-4. Even though it was the temple of God it was destroyed and Jeremiah pointed Get that a similar fate awaited ilere temple in Jerusalem. The people re- garded the Jerusalem temple as a sort of fetish; as long as it stood they were safe, regardless of their mode of life. Jeremiale's prophecy against it VIFIS considered blasphemy. sall the people, etc. "Apparently the priests and pro- phets seized Jeremiah at the close of his atlaret* and then the people crowd- ed rouiel the prophet and his ac- cusers" (Pease). H. The Charge Against the Prophet, 10, 11. V. 10. The princes; the neibility, in- cluding perhaps the civil and military rulers. The king's house; was situated just across from the temple Being so close at hand the princea could hear the uproar in the temple or a mes- senger may ha-vo informed them of it. ,So they went up to the temple to quell the disturbance. The new gate; prob- ably the "upper gate" built by Jotham I (see Kings 15: 85). The princes open- ed an informal law -court by the gate to decide Jen:m.1101's case, The courts ee kw were smelly held by a gate. (See Dent. 21: 19; 22: 15; Amos 5: Ruth 4. 1 V. 11. The religious authorities had previously held a evert in svhich it was decided that Jeremiah was guilty of blasphemy (vs. 8. 9). While they were competent to declare what con- stituted blasphemy, they had no authority to affix the sentence. That was a matter for the civil autheeities, the princes. III. The Defence of the Prophet, 12-16. V. 12. Jeremiah was allowed to speak in his own defence. Notice how, calm hi s bearing was although con- : • I fronted with the possibility of death' he did not shrink. The Lord sent me. This was the warrant Tor his eonfi- dense., god had commanded him "to d'hhinieli not a word," v, 2, Ire had eether to obey God or to p1eat tise people and he chose God's service, By nature he was as timid es a child (ch. 1: bit at hie calleGod peetired him that he, haying appointed his cern- mieseen, was responeible for las se- curity, ch. 1: 7. V. 13. Amend your way, Instead of ,conbinuiiig„ in.. defence Jeremiah re- news has eeichortation to repentaxice. It was an excellent opportunity for preaching; the crewd was standing by and listening. ' V. 14. J RIR in your hand. Jeremiah recognized thet the tribunal before \vhich he stood had the legal right to judge him. Do with me, etc. His mis- siort hed become so absorbing that all thought of self had vanished. V. 15. Little as Jeeentiale thought of his own eareenal safety it was only just for hirer to remind his judges that it W01,11C1 be a serious matter foe them to condemn one whose only fault had been 'Sleet he had been faithful to the cornmiesion svhiehGod had given hint: Innocent blood. When binacent bleed was shed,. it cried out for vengeance. (See Gen. 4: 10; Rev. 6: 9.) The near- est of kin was required to avenge the murdered meal, but since Jeremiah's kinsmen had deserted him, God Him- self .would avenge His prophet. Upon yourselves, and upon this city; because they would be responsible if they put God's prophet to death. V, 16. Not worthy to die. The princes were more impartial and un- prejudiced as judges than the priests and prophets. They acquitted Jere- miah on the ground that he had spoken in the name of Jehovah. They were swayed by the impression made on 'them by the man hdenseli and by the reflection that a prophet- who pro- claims an unpopular message !at the risk of his life gives thereby ample seteeity -for his sincerity. Application. 'The prophet's task, is seldom a safe or easy one, for wrong must be publac- ly rebuked. The BiNe gives some striking ililiustratiome of those in high positions being condemned as a pa- triot with soul on fire, for righteoue- nese: IVIo'ses risked the -wrath cf. Pharaoh in his desire for the libera- tion of his people. Nathan had to say boldly to Devitt, "Thou art the man." Repeatedly Elijah had to condemn Ahab. Amos could not *keep silence in the presence of the courtiers guilty of indulgence and injustice. John the Baptist did not lack courage to tell Herod that has conduct was not lawful. In like manner it was the unpleatant task of Jeremiah to stand in the court of the Lord's house and speak .stern weeds of reproof to the people. The prophet spoke unpleasant words not through sprite or personal pique, but because he saw the inevitable woeking el moral law. He had a higher conception of patriotism than that which seeks popularity in the present at the cost of national welfare in the future. !On the surface it appeared disloyal to assert the futility of resist- ance to 33atelion, bit Jeremiah knew that Israel had a divine minion and their spiritual faith was more than their political liberty. The true patriot is lie who seeks the Ilighe,st welfare of his country, and who holds that the real welfare of his country is glory, dignity, and interest of the na- time but so fax as they are consistent with justice and honor. This higher 'conception of patrietisan has given a noble honor vela el mar- tyrs.

How to Kill Quack -Grass, The way to kill quack -grass is to let it grow until it begins to bloesom, then cut it for hay- As soon there- after as poesible skim the sod loose from the underlying soil in as thin a layer as possible. In small patches this may be clone with a hoe; in larger patches with a plow, provided 'the plowsihate le broad enough to cut the entire slice house from the soil and, of coerse, sharp enough. plowing, plow just as shallow as peseible-cer- tainly not over three inches deep. After this, stir the sod with a harrow about once every ten clays until cold weather. If the season is a very wet one, you may 'haveto stir it oftener in order to keep the roots from get- ting attached to the underlying soil again. If the season is dry they well die without so much stirring. We have known large fields of quack-grase to be completely exterminated hp this Method. should be one period of centinuous growth. .
