which you could put in a silo 24 feet
high and 10 feet 10 inches in diameter.
You should be able to raise close to
fifty tons of hay from the permanent
bay field and the extra seven acres of
grass and clover. The mixed grain
field should net you nearly 300 bushels
of a mixture of barley and oats (in
seeding, use one bushel of each to the
acre). This grain, when ground,
would supply a large amount of the
necessary grain feed for your dairy
stock. By rotating these crops your
cultivated crops will keep the land
clean; the grass and clover will great-
ly help to maintain the humus of the
soil. In order to get the ;best yields
of highest quality feed, you should
fertilize'your grain and root crop. The
amount and analysis that you are
using on corn should give good results.
I would advise you to put 200 lbs. per
acre on your mixed grain; also line
your soil once in six years with a ton
of fine ground limestone per acre. In
these recommendations, I have been
dignring entirely from dairy require-
ments standpoint and have not recom-
mended the growth of a money crop
such as potatoes. It might be quite
well for you to maintain from one to
five acres of crops of that nature,
which would bring in ready money
outside of the dairy income,
Jonathan and His Armorbearer, 1
Sam. 14: 1-46. Golden Text,
Joshua 1: 6.
1-3. He told not his father. When
Saul came up from Gilgal to join his
eon at Gibeah he bad only six hundred
men left out of his army of three
thousand. The Philistine force was
very large in comparison with the
combined numbers of Saul and Jona-
than, but the numbers given in 13: 5
may have been increased by a scribe's
error. Thirty thousand chariots would
have been of little use in that rugged
and mountainous country. Besides
three bands of raiders had gone out
from the Philistine camp in different
directions, thus materially reducing
the numbers of the main body. In
any case, however, 'Saul must have
been in great anxiety and distress of
mind, and it is not at all likely that
he would have given consent to so
rash an adventure as that proposed
by his son. So Jonathan, and the
young man who bore his shield and
weapons, stole away on their daring
expedition without any of the people
knowing.
Saul -tarried in Gibeah, his tent
pitched in the shade of a pomegranate
tree. With him was the priest Ahiah,
or "Ahijah," a great-grandson of Eli,
wearing an ephod, that is a sort of
cloak or coat, covering the shoulders
and secured round the waist by a
girdle, which was the distinctive
priestly garment.
4-5. Between the passages, or
"passes." These may have been ra-
vines running down from one aide or
the other into the main valley, by
means of which it was easy to go
down, Bross over, and ascend on the
other side without being seen. Two
sharp rocks, or rocky crags, are men-
tioned. "The one crag rose up on the
north in front of Michmash, and the
other on the south in front of Gabe."
(see Rev. Version). The main valley
is described by Kelman as "the gully
of Michmash," and as "not like a
valley, but a crack in the rocks, hun-
dreds of feet sleep."
6-10. "To save by many er by few."
These words of courage and of faith
have been abundantly justified both
in Jewish and in Chri.sitian history.
Victory lies not always gone to the
greatest numbers or to the strongeat
battalione, Compare Judges 7t 4-7
and 2 Chron, 14: 11, Before the battle
at Beth -boron, in which the little band
of ,heroes under ,Tudas Maeeabnens
faced a big army, Judas is said to
have spoken these great words: "With
heaven it is all one, to save by many
or by few; for victory in battle stand-
eth not in the multitude of a host,
but strength is from heaven." (1 Macc.
3: 16-21; compare Heb. 11: 34.)
"This shall be a sign." It was char-
acteristic of the faith of that age to
look for indications of God's will in
signs and omens. Compare the story
of Gideon and the sign or omen of
the dream in Judges 7: 9-15.
11-13. "We will shew you a thing."
The Philistines indulge in merriment
and scoffing at the expense of the two
who are coming toward them up the
narrow pass in the rocks. In that
narrow space they could go but one
at a time, and Jonathan, tv'ho was a
sturdy fighter, cut them down. His
brave servant followed him closely.
The two, with God, were a host that
clay.
14-15. A half acre of land. The
two adventurers had reached the top
of the ascent and were engaging the
Philistine garrison, which must have
been totally unprepared for so amaz-
ing an assault, Already twenty men
had fallen, when suddenly the earth
quaked. Panic seized the Philistine
garrison, already alarmed, and they
took to flight, running hither and
thither.
16-46. The watchmen of Saul saw
the tumult and flight of the enemyand
told hint of it. The absence of Jona-
than and his servant was discovered.
Where were they? What had hap-
pened? The priest was called to bring
the sacred ephod (not the ark) and
consult the oracle, Then Saul and his
men joined in the battle, completing
the rout of the enemy. So the Lord
saved Israel that clay.
But Saul's rash and foolish oath
(v. 24) nearly coat him ,.ad his people
the life of his gallant son. See vv.
25-46.

called into service and it was dressed
high on the head with bodkin, darn-

Saving Planting Lasses.
I have been giving close attention
to the heavy death list of newly plant-
ed trees. My ,observation is that it is
not uncommon for half of the nursery
stock planted to be dead at the end
of the year. Of course the nurserymen
are generally wrongfully blamed for
many of these losses.
Many people who buy only a few
trees and sbruibs have not learned
that nursery stock, when taken from
its wrappings, should be "heeled in"
in moist ground if not planted im-
mediately; and if it is to be planted
the same day, all roots• should be cov-
ered with wet straw, leaves, or wrap-
ped in wet burlap or blankets and
kept covered until placed in the
ground. If all nursery stock were
kept protected as here described, and
Afterward watered thoroughly for sev-
eral weeks until well established,
! little loss need be experienced,

Sheep as Lawn Mowers.
"Tell Dad to trade the lawn grower
for a sheep, and let the sheep do the
work while he sits in the shade this
summer," wrote a soldier boy from
France. "The French people put
sheep in little pens on their lawns in
their parks. The pens are on wheels,
and as the sheep eat the grass they
stove along with the pens. ',alley do
a good job, and the lawn is made to
do its bit by producing wool and mut-
ton. Fine scheme, don't you think?"

That's the Idea!
France is making every effort to
,increase her agricultural production.
Co-operative associations are to be
formed for threshing, dairy -farming,
and grape -pressing, Drainage and
soil -improvement works are also to be
taken in hand. The greatest possible
use is to be made of electricity. Farm-
ers have been circularized, and asked
to join associations for these pur-
poses. It is hoped in this way par-
tially to make tip for the labor short-
age, and to put agriculture on a
higher footing.
