Answer: -1. I world not advise
applying slag to potatces. First be -I
cause slag contain, only phosphoric
acid plantfood which is of use for
the pot::to crop, whereas the rapid
growing, heavy feeding potato re -1
quires a good supply of nitrogen and
potash; 00:1 second, because slag
contains considerable amount of ac-,
Live lime which produces ideal con-
ditions for the growth of potato scab.l
Apply your slag to grain crops that
have been well manure:. The phos -d
phor,ic acid of the slag will tend to:
balance up the weak point in manure;
as a grain fertilizer. Use- a medium'
to high grade fertilizer on potatoes
if you wish to get best results, Suc-
cecsful potato growers use fertilizers'

vent my tomatoes from rotting on the
vines? The rot hegins on the Woe -
Fent end and gradually enlarges

Answer:—The blossom end rot of
tomatoes is a trouble that is not fully
understood. It le not due to any blight
1)r bacterial attack, but is the result
of some break in the continuous
growth of the plant. - It may be due
to an over -stimulation of the stock
growth, which would result from too
heavy manuring, or the application
of too large quantitic, of nitrate of
soda or some other nitrogen carriers.
Ic may ale() be Clue to irregular water-
ing. The best preventatives are

The Pure -Bred Herd.
Recently a writer slated that it
is ('.11 11ece=nary for nit f :+•mens to
have mare -decd. herae of dairy cattle,
IIe °eeleine thud the owner of the
pure-bred herd should 1ia'e the same
relation to the owner of grade cattle
a' the corn breeder has to the other
farmers who raise ercps of market
corn, Of ccuree, it is not necessary
for All farmers to be corn breeders
but they do wish to have a place to go
to obtain pure seed when they need
it,
However, this does not mean that
more good blood is not needed in
most herds. This blood can be sup-
plied by the use of the pure-bred sire
and good grade herds. The farmer
who owns pure-bred stock is able to
supply pure-bred sires to other farm-
ers who do not owns a pure-bred cow
but wish to improve the quality -of
their herd by the use of a pure-bred
sire, The point seems interesting
and if it is correct some farmers who
feel that they have to apologize for
their grade cows can now feel that
thy are doing all right if they are
selling -a fair quantity of market milk
from their grade cows and making an
effort to improve their herd by the
use of the pure-bred sire.
For many years, however, we have
learned •the difference between pure-
bred and scrub stock and it has al-
ways seemed that the arguments have
been all in favor of the •pure-breds. It
is rather difficult for some farmers to
feel that they are really getting along
with their dairy cattle until they are
able to oven soine pure-bred stock.
The ownership of a pure-bred herd
gives a farmer some business oppor-
tunities that the owner of grade stock
leeks. The chance of selling stock
at auction in co-operation with other
owners of the same breed, is a great
advantage to the farmer in some com-
munities. The sales of bull calves
for sires often prove very profitable
,transactions. The study of pedigrees
and breeding records is interesting
and instructive and no farmer really
gets interested in such thing's until
he awns a few pure-bred animals.
One thing is certain, There is no
immediate danger of there being too
many breeders of pure-bred dairy
rattle. The writer believes that
femora with good grade herds can
make progress finen
by the e l a1) of a
pure-bred sirs but also believes that
the Telmer who •is able to take up,
,pure-bred stock raising on at least a
small scale should not be satisfied to
continue with grades .if he is inter-
ested in cure bred animals and en -
lova working with them, There will
always be enough f vi ers who do1
not with to hived seed em'n or pure -
bred cattle. The farmers who do take

Jonah 3, 1-10. The Repentance of
Nineveh. "Yet forty days," Jonah
had no nteeen,3'e of mercy or of hope.
He d :1 net bring to Nineveh the
whole of the truth with whish he
had been entrostcd. Jonah )'cpre-
rents very perfectly the spi;ice of
many of the Jews scattered through-
out the world in the period of Baby-
lon: an exile - and after, who deiced
the overthrow of the heathen naiione
and the triumph of Israel over the
00101)1011 who 1114: so long opp•essel
them. Their feeling was a perfectly
natural one, for they had undoubted-
ly suffered great wrongs. See, for
example, Ieetah's prediction of the
ileum of Assyria (lea. 10: 10.1:1 and
24-27), Nahum's vivid portrayal of
the :fall of Nineveh (Nah. 2, 3), and
the "burden of Babylon" (Isa. 13,
14). But the Lord had given to
Israel another message for the hea-
then world. Israel, as His people
and This servant, was to be for "a
light to the Gentiles" and for "sal-
vation unto the end of the earth."
Jonah had left out of sight in his
preaching the mercy of God. But his
stern and unqualified denunciation of
Gloom stirred the people of the great
city to repentance, and with fasting
and in sackcloth they'cried for mercy
to God.
"Let them turn every one from his
evil way." The king's proclamation
shows an appreciation of what re-
pentance really means. The Old
Testament words mean simply "turn-
ing" and "being sorry." It ,is turn-
ing from sin, turning to God, seeking
to do God's will. In his ignorance,
the king could not give .the people
any assurance of God's mercy. The
prophet, is he had been so disposed,
might have done that, But the Icing
said, "Who knoweth?" It might be,
he thought, that God would regard
their penitence and would have mercy
upon them.
"Anel God repented." He was sorry
for them, had compassion upon them,
and turned from His purpose to des-
troy thein.
Luke 13: 1-5. A Solemn Warning.
"Sinners above all." The reference
is apparently to events which had
recently happened. Tho Galileana
had been notably rebellious against
Roman authority, and Joaephus men-
ton, more than one massacre in
which they sufFet'ed. This appears to
have been a case where, by the
orders of Pilate, the Roman governor,
a number of Galileans were slaugh-
tered while offering sacrifice, There
had also been an accident at Jerus-
nieln, :when eighteen persons were
killed by the'fall of a tower, It was
the common thing in those days to re-
gard calamities of that sort, or ..,icic-
nless, as a punishment for sin. That
Was the way in which Job's friends
regarded his sickness, but the book
of Job is written as •a protest against
its application to 'him. Jesus says
here, "Think ye that they were of-
fenders above all?" "I toll you, Nay:
but except ye repent, ye shall all
likewise perish."
It is true that calamity and suffer-
ing often seem to bo the judgment of
God, but it is likewise true that the
F n s
addressed to all, for all are in equal
need of repentance.
