Remember It is always better to thin out than to transplant, Trans- planting invariably cheeks the crops . and seldom makes good. Do not cultivate your garden when the soil Is very wet. Where the soil Is damp very little covering is re- quired for fine seed. Wliere fine seed is sown in the open ground, cover the beds during Very heavy rains, Commercial fertilizer tends to make flowers bloom earlier and more freely, but it should be used in combination with manure since flowers require a certain amount of humus which the 'fertilizer does not sxippiy. Nitrogen is readily avail- able through nitrate of soda and sul- phate of ammonia, which contain from 13 to 20 per cont., and maY be applied as top dressings. The person who has the best plants is the one who gives them most attention. This does not mean the person who works among them the most, but the one who stud- ies their peculiarities and knows just what each plant requires. In• Crard- ening and Horticulture intelligence counts. Forking Among Fruit Bushes Much harm is 'often done by fork- ing orking among small fruits bushes, the digger often thinking it impossible to kill a currant or gooseberry, and at this season, early ,spring, when manure is spread over the soil above the roots, its is frequently forked or dug in regardless of the damage stone.

EL. 5211 5 Yonge et. Arcade 13 Blear St. W. ,r proper way is to mutilate the roots as little as possible. The finest small fruits have been grown on bushes where no fork or spade had been used for years, they however, received a liberal mulching of manure on the surface after they were pruned in the early winter and this treatment they like above all others. Raspberries, too, are very impa- tient of having their roots disturbed and mulching them also is the safest way of dealing with them. Sap Running and Its Relation to Fruitfulness in Fruit Trees Fruit buds are generally in bear- ing the third year after their first development. They are aeveloped from the less vigorous buds upon the wood branches. In a vertical branch, owing to its position the sap will run to the ex- tremity with the greatest -force and be most active for the end third of the branoh, on the other two thirds buds, will, i•omain..• 4 rmruti1t.• :T,ltcro-+. fore to develop the lower buds this branch must he cut back one half its length.

In. order to promote the due develop- ment in these buds, shorten this branch about one third front the terminal bud. If the branch is horizontal all the sap will act with equal force at every point of its length and there- fore this will not need shortening. If any branch should grow inter- mediate between these, the propor- tion must be maintained. Gardening With Rocks • A few years ago a steep bank at the end of the lawn was regarded as a distinct handicap. Grass and ordinary flowers could not survive spring downpours. About the• only solution was large trees and in front of these a screen of shrubbery or vines to hide the raw earth. Now -a -days, people want such banks to create a ,rock garden and often where no bank exists, one is raised by artificial and expensive means. This is not to be confused with the old stiff and rather unsightly rock - ery. In the kind advocated here, boulders are set into the side of the hill, embedded so deep that frost will not seriously disturb then, and also in such a way that the soil be- tween will lead back into the main bank. Between the rocks a minia- ture Rocky Mountain range is creat- ed with gulleys, alpine meadows, crags and steep canyons. Seed cata- logues usually list alpine rock garden plants separately. It is most import- ant to secure seeds and plants suit- able to Canadian conditions and it �is also advisable to get special liter- ature on the subject, or visit a neigh- boring rock garden, before attempt- ing too elaborate a lay -out.

Josiah began to reign in 639 B.C. The great Reform- ation occurred about 621 B.C. The events recorded in the passage from Nehemiah about 445 B. C. The Emmaus discourse, recorded by Luke, occurred on Sunday afternoon, April 9, A.D. 30. Paul and Silas were at Beroea, a city of Macedonia, about A.D. 53. 2 Timothy was the last Epistle written by Paul, prob- ably A.D. 66. "The law of Jehovah." Law is truth considered as that to which ra- tional beings are under obligation to conform their characters and action. "Is perfect.' It lacks no truth ne- cessary for man's perfect life; it re- veals God as perfectly as God can be revealed; it will never be equalled and can never be surpassed. "Restor- ing the soul." It calls it back from its wanderings by reminding it of its ingratitude, by setting before it its high destiny, by bringing it to its true Shepherd and Guardian. "The testimony of Jehovah." Not only as testifying bearing witness of God's character, but also testifying of man's sinfulness. "Is sure." The word is amen, which means faithful, steadfast, verified, established. "Ma- king wise the simple." The simple here axe not those of limited intel- ligence, but those whose minds are open to the truth. "The precepts of Jehovah." Divine directions designed to secure obed- ience, or check disobedience. "Are right." Straight, as opposed to the crooked ways of men. "Rejoicing the heart." Mark the progress; he who was converted was next made wise and is now made happy. "The com- mandment of Jehovah." As such it is imperative. "Is pure." There is nei- ther error nor adulteration in any of its pages. "Enlightening the eyes. This refers not merely to the en- lightening of the understanding. but of one's whole condition. "Tlie fear of Jehovah." Another name for the Law, but as contem- plated not so much in its outward aspect, as in its working on the heart. "Is clean." Its action on the heart is like that of water upon the body, hence, often in the Scriptures running water is a symbol of the Word endureth forever. "The God's law; God, who endureth for- ever, changeth not; therefore, his his Word endureth forever. "The ordinances of- Jehovah." The- Judie - decisions and sentences of God. "Are true". They are characterized by truth which endures and verifies itself. "And riglxteou,s altogether.," Thus are they distinguished from the laws of peen. "More to be desired are they thee gold, yea, than much fine gold." Thi one never satisfies; the other alway8 does. "Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb. Things that are right and to be de. sired are not always productive of pleasure and delight. "Moreover by thein is thy servant warned." The Scriptures warn met of Satan's devices of the heinousness of sin, of the consequences, of sinful acts, of the ultimate punishment God must inflict upon the sinner if un- repentant. nrepentant. "In keeping them there is great reward." In requiring from us whatever is contained in the law; he demands nothing but what he has a right to; yet such is his free and un- deserved liberality that he promises to his servants a reward, which, in of Justice .e does ..., _ "Who can discern his errors?, Clear thou me from hidden faults., The contemplation of the law cannot but lead to self-examination, and that to petition. "Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me." Presumpt-; uous sins are those committed in the full knowledge of the sinfulness' of the sins indulged in, and with del -I iberate intent. "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart." David here expresses his fervent desire' that not only the outward acts of hist life may be right, but the innermost1 depths of his being the fountains of life. "Be acceptable in thy sight, a,1 Jehovah, myroek, and my redeem -1 er" The One in whose sight hot would be acceptable, the One who is altogether holy.. "But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hash been assured of." This is the last letter that Paul wrote before hi death, as far as we know. "Knowing of whom thou has learned then." A reference no doubt to his grandmother Lois, and his mo- ther Eunice. ? "And that from a babe thou hast known." The Jewish parent's duty was to teach his child the law whey in his fifth year. "The sacred writ.) ings.' The Scriptures are sacred beJ, cause they proceed from the Spirit of God. "Which are able to makes thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in. Christ Jesus." They reveal the need of a Saviour, whq cane to fully meet that need, an they reveal how the Saviour becom es a Saviour for us by faith in him "Every scripture is inspired by God. Men may speak, if they choose' of the inspiration of Dante, or Mila ton, or Shakespeare, but no otheel writing in the world can be trul characterized as inspired of God. °d also profitable for teaching." It tea ches us those great spiritual real ities which are never discoverable b human reason alone. "For reproof. No other volume in the world ea be read with such a result. "F correction," Literally, for reetorhl to an upright position. "For bistros tion which is in righteousness.t6 disciplines us, instructing us how t live 'rightly. "That the man of God." A man o God :is one whom God has called, on who. 'belongs to God, one In whout God lives, and one who in turn, liver wholly for God. "May be complete, furnished completely unto every good work." Good works in the New Testament sense of the tetra, are those whloh lead others to God.
