Have your sod ground. fall plowed and work it early in the spring. Then sow the sweet clover with a nurse crop such as barley or wheat.

This, of course, means avollable according to a special test using stronger acid than in the tests for phosphoric acid in acid phosphate. Phosphate rock in its natural form i3 almost insoluble. As far as the profit- ablenees from using same is concern- ed, the Indiana Exneriment Station, after a considerable test of the ecm- argive nhos hades, found that troni using acid phosphate they got a net profit rer acre of $24.11; from uzing raw toek on a eimilar orea, they got • a net ieuirerese valued at $12.54, while from ,besic slag the increase amounted to $14.21.

What !chid of a machine seems to be in the lead for distributing lime? Some nay an end, gate wagon distributor is the best. Fifers rauch lime should be applied Per acre to insure a good catch of clover? Answer:—Appyethe lime to your plowed soil hnmediately after plow- ing; work it in by disking and har- rowing. Any broadcasting machine will distribute lime, I would not apply less than a ton of ground lime stone to thence. If you are using air -Slaked burnt lime half a ton to the acre will be sufficient In order to ensure a good catch of clover you should supplement the above treatm•ent of the soil by apply- ing about 250lbs. of fertilizer at the time the grain and grass mixture is sown. The lime corrects the sour- ness of the soil; it does not feed the crops. Fertilizer, on theothenhand, is a. carrier of soluble plant food. It invigorates the early growth of the crap and in numeroas cases has been shown to not only give a large profit in the additional grain which is her- -vested, but it actually has ensured a strong and y;gorous growth of grass,. Una clover. ' The fertilizer must not be mixed with the lime, It should be applied either through the fertilizer dropper of the grain. drill, if you can get a drill which accomplishes both the drilling of the seed and the sowing • of the fertilizer, or the fertilizer may be applied broadcast just before you i drill n the wheat. , S. a red cedar tree have • any effect on apples?

Golden Tent, Job 28: 28. • Chapters 1 ant 2 of the first book of Kings are introductory to our lesson, and should be read with care. We see David grown old and stricken in years. His reign has extended over about forty years, from about 1010 to 970 B.C. Now seme of those about him, who had been most loyal to him, an- ticipat ng the end of his „life, take steps to secure the succession to the throne of his son Monijah, and at the same thne to secure their oWn Apo- places of influence and authority in eneSS the court. Nathan the prophet inter- feres, however, on behalf of Solomon, tem mf David and Bathsheba, and re- minds David' that he had promised the succession to Solomon (1 Chron. 22: 6-10). With the king's authority, and in company with. Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, captain -ofthe guard he acted so promptly that Solomon was anointed and .publicly proclaimed king while the other conspirators were feasting and talking together. The city welcomed Solomon with glad ac- clamations, with music and with great rejoicing; Solomon began his reign well, wibtn forbearance and clemency towatd his, opponents and with his father's bless- ing upon him. •It is unfertunate for ; David's 'memory, however,- that he should have charged. Solomon to exe- cute vengeance upon two men whom , he himself had spared during his life- time, ,Joab, who had so long corn-, mended his armies, and Shirnei, who had cursed him from the roadside when he fled from. Jerusalem.

It is for such. moments as the latter that parents should lie in wait, ready to take advantage of them ere they flit away, and to place good 'brick on good briele to form the .firm foundation for the years to come. Just when these all-itnportant mo- ments may come no one ean tell, but sooner or later they are sure to ap- pear, and once allowed to slip by un- noticed they may never again present themselves. Pity, generosity, confi- dence, truth, repentance—all appear first as moments. On the parents it depends whether the feeling Ise stifled, killed at birth, or tenderly nurtured into a thriving virtue. Nothing the young child's mind has to grapple with is much harder than the subject of truth. "What is the teuth?" he asks again and again. Patiently and at length you explain, oiting example after example simple enough for him to follew, Apparently he understands; yet the next day he breaks a dish, pethaps, and insteaci of coming to you and telling you of the accident he hides the pieces, and you come upon them .only by chance. -Questions follow. At first may come denial, followed by admission. Truth comes out eventually, but you wonder why not at first. Perhaps you des- pair of the child's ever learning the full meaning of the truth. Then One day there comes a rare - golden moment, fraught with oppor- tunity. You are upstairs; thereis a crash. A moment later a sobbing little -figure climbs the stairs and bursts in upon you with a full con- fession.. He had climbed up on a chair to get something off the shelf and had knocked downand broken a vase. He is son.", He Imews he ought not to have dame itl And alone, of his own free will, he makes a clean breast of the accident. - Hard though the confession is, he has made it—he has, told the truth! Scolded, severely reprimanded, at that time, the child might never again tell thet. ruth readily, so freely. His mind is in a peculiarly receptive condition. Impressions made at that thne evill be lasting, Ttraeed, comfort - ted, praleed for telling the truth, though rdmincled of his naughtiness in disobeying by teaching up to the shelf, the child will have a new feels ing of what truth means. Thereafter 'truth4elling will be easy, for the first brick in the foundation of a truthful character will have been firmly laid in that one precioui moment. In the same way .can generosity be fostered. It is natural for children to be selfish; therefore it 18 hard for them to understand why they mast give up things they want themselves, You may talkabout generosity until the 'child shares his toys begrudgingly; but, unlese the mind be in a receptive mood, it is like talking into a phono- graph with no wax record attached —no impression, is recorded. Yet, if you are watchful, some day you will find yourself in the presence of a big moment. 'Urged by some unknown impulse, the ehild yeu have thought incurably selfish is seen to give away his biggest apple, making a very real -sacrifice. And. that is the opportunity long waited for. While the child is flushed with the joy of his first big sacrifice, bestow on hixu a full share of praise, enlarge upon the happiness one feels from being generous- His mind is in a receptive mood; the wax record is inplace and the impression made will last forever. Thus it is with the defiant child, the one who never seems to care when he has been naughty or met with some accident, Some day, when you are least expecting it, he will melt to a peni- tent "I'm sorry." Be ready for that quiet confession, and make the most of that moment. On your attitude may depend the whole future course of "his disposition. Many moments such as the fore- going eome but once. Be ready to deal with them whenever and wher- ever they appear. Truth, generosity, the spirit of helpfulnese, penitence, compassion—all are bricks in the building of character. Leave them alone to place themselves and your house will totter on an unstable foandation; butetake each brick and, at the proper moment, set it firmly in place, and you will be :forming a firm foundation for a character strong enough to withstand all the storms of the years to come. abuse, had richly deserved punishment, but it would have been in harmony with David's better nature, and a bet- ter example for his son if he had marked his last hours by acts of for- giveness and mercy, rasher than by such bloody Injunctions. Soon'there was evidence that Ation- ijah's presumption was not yet ended, i and in a fit of anger Solemn ordered his death. In this, however, and in obeying his father's commands, Solo- mon appears to have believed that he was acting justly, and not only free- ing his throne fromnianger, but also freeing himself from respon3ibilety for the crimes of Joab and Shimei, See 2: 31-44. So, he declares, Ring Solo- mon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever. One must learn to look upon the character and deeds of- David and 'Solomon with an appreciation and understanding of theb b• in which they lived, of the primitive ideas of social order and justice which then prevailed, and of the turbulent, violent, and unscrupulous character of some of the men with whom they had to deal. David confessed on one occasion that his netihews, Joab and Abishai, were too hard for him. He could not control them. Thus, while we must not for a moment condone deeds of cruelty and revenge, we shall be able to understand better the causes of such deeds and not pass hasty or harsh Judgments. 3: 4-15. To Gideon to Sacrifice There. There was, of course, the ark and. its, sanctuary in Jerusalem, but Jerusalem had not yet- acquired the sacredness in the eves of all the people which it had centuries later. Neither was the law of Deuteronomy (chap. 12) yet in force, which eonfined all worship to the one place. But at Gibson there was thetreat high place, a famous and much -frequented sanc- Amery. The writer of Chronicles says that "there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the wilderness." The multitude of sacri- flees which Solomon offered there was accompanied, no doubt, by much feast- ing on the part of the large company who went with him.

What this means in dollars and ceets is easily illustrated. The average person milks about 8 cows an hour, by hand. Figur- ing wages and board at 25 cents an hour, handmilking one cow costs about 3 centse6r 75 cents for the entire herd. Twice a day for 365 days means a wage expense of $547.50. At 25 cents an hour the labor cost per cow with the Macartney Milker works out at I cent, or 25 cents per day. Twice a day the year 'roundl this would mean a milking cost of $182.60, or a yearly saving of $365.00 through the use of the Macartney Machine Milker. Simple figures but very expressive.

Solonion had some realization of the greatness and complexity of the task of govern- ment. He wanted to do well, to judge rightly, to discern between good and evil. He believed that such under- standing and such power was a gift of God. The speech pleased the Lord. It seems strange to us that 'Solomon should be assured by the Lord that there had not been and would not be one like him, and one is tempted to believe that theze words have been added by the historian. And yet, is it not true, as a matter of history, that Solomon's name stands alone and unique? There has not been one like him. He combined in a remarkable way in himself piety, learning, luxury, and love of splendor.

The Lord grants not only the wisdom to judge the people right- ly, but riches and honor besides in great abundance.

A series of instructive articles constituting, when completed, an entire course on baby hygiene and care of the child up to six or' seven years old. Mothers are urged to read the articles as published, and cut them out for future reference. The information has been Prepared by physicians who have made the welfare of the child a life study. SEVENTH ARTICLE, Sleep, Play and Rest. The child's body develops faster dur- ing the firet year of his Efe than at any other period. For that reason a baby needs a large allowance of sleep, with the hest sleeping acommodatione, so that the hours of sleep may be of greatest value to him. Baby should sleep alone. Babies may be smothered to death while in bed with an older person, same part of whose body may be thrown over baby's face while asleep. The young baby should sleep eighteen or twenty hours out of the twenty-four. He +should have sixteen hours' sleep daily front a month to the age of one year. From the first to the second year he thould have twelve hours. A baby should have the :longest period of un- broken sleep at night and should not he permitted to turn night into slay. Daytime—The daytime naps should be continued through the sixth year, The baby should neer take a nap in all his clothes. The shoes of older children especially should be removed. In hot weather remove all but the shirt and diaper from the baby. The sleeping room should be dark- ened and weld ventilated. The baby_ should be fed and made comfortable in every way; put in his crib and let alone to go to sleep. He should never be rocked to sleep nor jolted or bounced. Out of doors—Out of door sleeping in summer, both by day and by night is good for baby after he is a month old. He must be protected from flies, mosquitoes, shielded from the wind and sun and covered if there is a sud- den drop in temperature. The sleep- used, and give one room to the little folks Who will use it every day. Sunshine is as necessary fer babies as for plants. A baby not given sun- shine will droop and pine jut as the plant does. Therefore, choose a sunny room for the baby's room and one which has windows and doors- en op- posite sides so that a eontinual, abun- dant supply of fresh air may be ob- tained. The baby's room ehould be kept eomfortably warm in winter. Furnace heat is better than stoves. Oil and gas stoves exhaust the air in a short time. An open grated' is a great con- venience both for the additional heat and because it helps to keep the air of the room in circulation. The floor should be bare so that it ean be kept clean by wiping it with a damp cloth or dust mop. A few washable rugs may be added. Plain white sash eur- tains should be provided at the win- dows, as they can be laundered fre- quently. Fresh ,Air—Fresh air is essential for the healthy baby. To obtain, the beat air without drafts put baby's bed in the middle of the room. The windows may be opened from the tap. They should be screened against flies and disease -carrying insects. Windows fac- ing the hot sun should be provided with awnings. In the winter tune, a plentiful supply of fresh air without drafts may be obtained by tacking thin muslin or cheesecloth over the open windows or ori the window screen. This also keeps out particles of eteal, soot, dirt and snow. All the furnishings for the baby's room should be of the simplest kind and such as can be wiped readily with. a damp 1 th �r laundered, and 90 ing porch must be protected properly kept free from dust. The equipment may include a ,screen to protect baby front drafts, a low chair without arms for the mother, baby scales, bath tub, basket for toilet •articles and plaio table.

Much good has been said.about the value of good, hoiney farm homes, but few can express it better than an ob- servant farmer who spoke on the sub- ject in this way: "The farmer who puts as much thought on the modernizing of his home as he does on the im- provemant of his livestock, barns and equipment, is getting the most value out of life. Better homes make better farms. The connection is easily fol- lowed oshen you see how geed terra - lug follows the modernizing of the farm homes where comfort and con- venience are the objects sought alter." I don't know whether you ever noticed it, but fhlleti whe liye sate a good home have a different expression on their faces from those who drudge along with inconveniences. The work about any farm home is not light. When the small tasks that make up the clay's work are divided among half a dozen members of the family we do not notice them so much, but if sud- denly all tasks are shifted bo one or two pair e of shoulders they become a heavy 'burden In many home, one 'pair of shoulg dere is carrying the burden that ought to be shared by other. Is it any wonder that many fsirrn wonien and r44 are unable to ornile happily when a day's work is done? Tired, worn - tut companions are seldom good com- pare', and weary folks often get the e "eeeeective of life. 7'1'e iteezewife who meat .carry 'ars nem a dk.tar' m, carry out all Wash water, keep up stove fires, besides looking after the children and poultry, can not do all the other odd jobs.

"The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are eleansed, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them." He did riot say He gees the Messiah, He simply eabrnitted the evi- dence, and let His friend draw his own conclifsions. Is this kind of work done now? Or has the church lost the power? Many will instantly re- ply that all miracles are impossible. Others will declare that the church coulthnot restore sight to the blind or raise the dead in a thoasand years. It is true that the general power a healing and sniracle working seemed to pass away with apostolic days, Yet even then not all people were cured, St. Paul says, "Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick." Why did he not cure Trophimus? He Also states that he himself was afflicted with a serious disorder, which he was told to bear, and which would not be healed. And we must remember also that people are healed by faith now. Perhaps healing is not as common as tt might be, if people were more believing. But such cures do occur, and there tan be no reasonable doubt about it. Blind- ness of the soul is healed, too, Such a mire is no less wonderful than blindness of the optic nerve, and the consequences a it may be a thousand- fold more far reaching. I went ones to s!e a man and his wife about con- fessing Ohrist and coming into the church. I got a cold reception. went again and it was more frigid than before. One day a wee specimen of humanity came to live in that home, and as Easter drew near, I thought te try once more, as to how that man and wife would consider Christianity in their lives. Yes, they were both eager to come into the church. They realized that they had net lived as guides of a little unfolding life should. It was a happy day when they took their stand in front of the altar rail, and made a public confession. The expression on their faces had changed, It continued to be changed, frem that day lerevard. Is not thet reato,ine sight to the blind? "The lame walk." They do not run races, necessarily, nor enter athletic contests, nor scale mountains. But they walk. They are able to do the normal thing. And the 'seemly of religious faith is, that it 4s normal and it makes everything else normal. A tourist party was once going through a part of Syria on camel bank. The country largely a waste, the people poor, the buildings but huts. By and: by the fields began to improve, as they passed along, and continued to look better, and the people were more prosperous. The tourists were ap- proaching a Christian mission settle- ment, and by example and teach:ng it had changed the face of the landscape in all directions for several miles. "The deaf hear, the lepers are eleansed." It 13 the natural function of the laws of God to heal. As said before, faith healing is not an entirely forgotten art. And the healing of rivalries and ill will is as much a part of this program as is the healing of the body. It may be more vital than the healing of the body. One thing is ertain: we are not able to heal the international wounds of the world as we ought to be. People are still suspicioning each other. The church wants to help and is helping, but cannot, eorrinif..nl, The Council for Pro -noting Interneticnal Friendship through the churches is doing pioneer work, and may be laying foundations that will withstand all assaults. But one thing we must face: Christ never intended that Christian should fight Christian, either in personal combat or in war, or in commerce. We must work together, or we -will work at enmity with each other. And enmity means the nra, foolish program of hate and bloodshed all over again. Every believer in the gospel of healing should. strive to make his church a centre fo healing differences among men. And the dead are raised to -day. Men are seeing life differently, and that, according to St. John, is passing out of death into life.
