They introduced these abominations
and often unclean practices into the

acaptive in Babylon, describes in the
form of a vision what he saw in the

practices), then a group of sun -

But Jeremiah's contribution may be

faith that though all destroyed, reli-

when men leaned hard on the outward
institutions. So "Jeremiah announc-

Atte you ;a dreamer? Very well,
Connect up year dreams with your

That is the way to make dreams come

were ones dreaal*, They were the

what men hoped to do, or to be, or
to have.
Dreams are the stuff that life and

any really worth -while thing can be
realized. .There will be times when
this ideal, this dream, this vision 'of
what we want to do, or to be, or to
have, will come to us clearly and we
will be sure we areon the right track.
We must stick to these ideals.- It will
take some courage to stick, for there
will also come times when the object
of our dreams seems hopeless, and we
apparently lose our way.
It is at these off -times that there is
difficulty in holding to the great
visions before our eyes and in work -

the farm are going through such a
period to -day. But faith is alsvays

have laid out for ourselves and let
that pattern inspire us to do our best.
FARMERS KNOW THEM.
That city man whom we in our
travels occasionally meet with his ele-
vated five -center, and thumbs pulling
at his vest arm holes, gave birth to
another of his effervescent produc-
tions the other day, expounding the
wonderful way "we city people do
things." Since we were obliged to
stay in the same hotel that night, it
was necessary to give attention to
this man's statement.
After due deliberation the general
conclusion was reached that this city
man had no special reason to overflow

Fertilizers for..Fialci Crops.
The following fertilizer applications
per acre are prescribed for various
crops, by the Dominion Chemist and
Soil Fertility Specialist at Ottawa, in
Bulletin No. 8, N.S., of the Dominion
Department of Agriculture.
For grain --Nitrate of soda 100 lbs.,
superphosphate 150 .lis., muriate of
potash 50 lbs., basic slag (300 lbs, per
acre) may profitably replace the
superphosphate, especially where
clover has been seeded. Fall wheat,
or other grain not seeded down with
clover or grass seed, may require only
nitrate of soda (190-150 lbs. per acre)
to encourage vigorous, early growth
in the spring.
For potatoes -Nitrate of soda 200
lbs., superphosphate. 300 lbs., muriate
of potash 150 lbs. Certain experiments
have indicated that a mixture of ni-
trate of soda and sulphate of am-
monia may sometimes yield results
superior to those from the use of
either alone. In that case nitrate of
soda 130 lbs., sulphate of ammonia
100 lbs, superphosphate 300 lbs., nmur-
iate of potash 150 lbs. is recom-
mended. ,
For ntangels and beets—Nitrate of

For corn—Nitrate of soda 120 lbs.,

Renewing the Raspberry
Plantation.
In the case of red raspberries the
best plants, says the Dominion Horti-
culturist, for a new plantation are the
suckers that spring up around or near
the old plants in the spring. These
are allowed to grow throughout the
season, and then dug up and planted
out early in September after the
ground becomes moist, or planted
early in the spring. Plants should be
cut back to within six or eight inches
of the ground at the time of trans-
planting.
The black -cap and most of tho
purple -cane raspberries do not make
suckers as do the red, but they multi-
ply, by tips. Long slender growths
are thrown out shortly after the
fruiting season is over. In nature,
where they are more or less protected,
these take root, but in the open field
where they aro exposed to wind, it is
necessary to hold the tips down with
a little soil, when they will soon root.
The plants are left until late fall or
early spring, when they are dug up.
If ordered front a distance, tips hav-
ing a year's growth are the best for
planting. Care should be taken not
to pleat blackcaps too deep. If the
root are covered with more than two
inches of soil they are liable to rot.
The suckering varieties of raspberries
