Animal , manure is the' only "uni=
vernal fertilizer” .to -be hayd. Yet in
some poorly favored countries ma-'
'nure must be used as a fuel, and in
some sections of.our own country
manure is burned instead of being
spread on the land. But eveninsec
tions where the value of manure is
nppteciated there are thousands of

available supply • is unintent'onally
burned up" before the land -owner
gets ready to use it as it should be
used.
Manure furnishes humus, It also
,supplies plant food, It both adds and
:stimulates bacterial life in the soil.
:]icor one or the other of these three
reasons, or perhaps folr'all three, the
usa of manure on. land increases crop
growth; and because the value of the
increase produced is practically al-
ways greater than the cost of apply-
ing the manure, it is good business
'to save and use manure as a fertilizer.

Mothers! In dealing with our
children we are dealing with life and
death, life and death' of character.
The pleasures of gluttony last only
for a moment; the pride of material
possessions, except as these create
the joyful spirit of home, is without
value; the characters of our children
are eternal.
Wo have brought our boys and
girls into this earthly life which gives
them their opportunity so to grow
in strength and purity that they
shall become worthy of Heaven.
Shall we neglect them in order to
lay up a little more phoney? Shall
we deny them our companionship in
order to have more pies for dinner?
Shall we scour the darkest corner of
every closet but allow to develop in
our own hearts the germs of bad
temper which drive our children front
us?
The children who have not mothers
who are comrades, and homes which
they enjoy, are likely to drift into
evil places when they pass through
those stormy changes which' carry
them from childhood into maturity.
Then, when it is too late, we mourn
and, perhaps, pity ourselves, because
our children have "gone wrong." It
is not, after all, the bottomless
misery of our own wounded love
which matters; it is the loss of eter-
nal life to the souls which we brought
into the world and for whom we are
accountable to God,

f certainty that are not as generally
known as might be. There is one fal-
lacy that has kept many from having
the best success, and that is that to-
matoes will not bear on rich soil. It
is natural that such an idea should
be formed when certain methods have
been followed, but the fault was
with the methods and not the rich
soil.
The fruit of tomatoes calls for an

That is what we all long to do—
remold the world nearer to our
heart's desire. Then we should not
any more be cross to our children,
for we should not have to do work
which we hate or do any work long-
er than our strength lasted—and
crossness is born of fatigue. We could
be good and gentle and, when night
came, face without humiliation, the
memory of the day which had pas-
sed. It seems altogether right to
desire a world in which we could be
always gentle, always loveable and
good, and influence our children to
be so, too.
Yet we are not permitted to shat-
ter to bits the scheme of life and all
that we can remold are our own
habits. It is astonishing how many
improvements eve can stake in those
if, instead of accepting consequences
and helplessly bewailing our faults
we set about correcting our habits
and thus challging.,consequences.
I have spoken of temper as being'
born of fatigue, That is true and
at first thought the fact seems a ter-
rible injustice, because usually our
fatigue is created by the fulfilment.
of our duty—or at least what we con-
sider ear duty. "Why is it fair.," cry
our outraged hearts, "to punish` us
for working hard? Surely eve de-

fatigue?" Fatigue is illogical, for it
makes us do evil as a result of hav-
ing done good! It is destructive, for
it humiliates us by breeding out-
bursts of 'temper which 0ause us to
injure and alienate our children.
Wait a minute! Are we always
quite sure of the nobility of our mo-
tives in working too hard? Do we
not, for instance, sometimes prepare
a greater vatiety of food than is nec-
essary, impelled—let us admit it by
vanity of our cooking? Do we not
sometimes wear ourselves out with
an unnecessary amount of sewing,
impelled by a desire to appear a little
more industrious than our neighbors?
As a matter of Sad, excessive fatigue
fatigue which exhausts our nerves
.—is a violation of the laws of health
and these laws go on operating1:inex-

of our 'bodies, whether our motives
are noble or not. The law has no re-

And all the singing summers that they

these Christians have been brothers
to tis. They have acted as servants
to us, There is nothing they have
not done for us. Put my daughter
or my son into the missionary school.
We want to know what the Christian
religion 15.1'
Two thousand years ago the great-
est missionary the world has 'ever
known wrote to one of his churches:
"Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ":
speak his words, do his deeds, relive
his character. Wherever in the world
the humblest soul does that, there
will His kingdom begin to come, and
there will faith shine clear.
IN THE CHUTE.
A Peculiar Accident Which Befel a
Small Boy.
One 'morning, when little Hal Perry
was doing chores in his father's barn,
he met with au accident that placed
hits, in a peculiarly helpless position.
He had made his way to the loft to
get down fodder for the stock. In
climbing over the hay,; he slipped and
fell, feet foremost; into one of the
chutes. When he came to a stop kis
!'bare feet extended into the manger
where dine, the only bad-tempered
horse in the barn, was hungrily seiz-
ing mouthfuls of the fodder.
The boy scre0mod for help, but no
one heard hint, for the house was at
some distance, and his voice was roti-
fled. There was nothing that offered
a hold; the chute lead been made
smooth in order that the hay might
slide through easily. He tried to gain
a purchase by thrusting outward with.
his elbows, so that he might lilt his
feet, but 11 was of no use; he could
not even kick, The horse, in pulling
away the fodder, nipped at bis toes.
"Whoa! Stop that!" yelled the boy,
But tate horse naturally continued to
eat his breakfast, and more than once
nipped --as if pnrposeiy--Hal's legs
and toes.
After a few minutes the farmer pro-
videntially entered the building and
heard his son sobbing and calling
"Father, come quick! ,tins, is eating
me," - -
"Where are you?" shouted the farm -
Pr.
"In the chute,"
"Back. Jim!" roared the men and
the horse obeyed.
Mr. Perry hastily turned Jim loose
