S,: Had a small spot of quack grass in my hay this year. I do not find any seed in the cptack. Would like to know if it will seed back by th° hay being fed and returned to the land as manure. • Answer: If all the hay is consumed it is not likely that any vital seeds of quack grass 'will be spread on your farm. There is danger, however, that seed will be spread by a few heads of ripe couch getting into the manure, as litter, and 'being tadcen out on your land when the manure is spread. You had better get this pieee of land into cultivated crops *soon so as to kill the couch grass, C. W.: Will you kindly tell me if nodules form on sweet clover roots the first year when inoculated? Also, is mammoth clover as sensitive to acid soils as sweet clover or alfalfa? Answer: Nodules will form on. the roots of, sweet Clover the 'first year if the soil is sweet and the seed has been Mammoth. 'clover is a perennial that is about as sensitive to `sour soils as is ,sweet •clover and alfalfa. 11„M.: I had about forty rods of the so-called honey lout hedge, .whicte.I. tut down last winter, but now they all have sprouted out again, Now they tell me if I cut them off in August and put on thick salt it will •kill them. 'What is your advice? I have also thirty rods of the same which was never trimmed off and grew up to good-sized trees and measure from six to eight inchesthrough, which I am told will make 'better fence posts than cedar. If this is -true, when Should I cut them down to make the best posts and also rot or kill the stumps? Answer: August Or early September ; will be a good time to cut down your locust hedge. The cutting should be crone when the tree is putting most energy into leaf bearing and seed pro.. -clu'C'tion. By cutting the hedge in August and earefully cutting off all sprouts that start next spring you should be able to kill out the hedge in one or two seasons. Locust posts are considered' highly valuable on many berries are not helped by liming- in clover and orchard grass could b sown on red -top sod for pernianen pasture. Soil is rather light san If so, how much per acre and wha time should they be sown? •Whic would be the best, annual or biennia sweet clover? Would it be •best t run over the field with a spike -toot drag or not? If those grasses wont not do on the sod, what would yo suggest? - Answer: Red Top grass usuall grows when soil is sour. Sweet clove and orchard. grass 'bath thrive in soil rich in lime, therefore I would no adtvis-e you to try to get a catch o either or both without first limin Ike soil theruoghly. Work in at leas 1,000 lbs. of limestone per acre. Thi can be done any time after the grotto is plowed this fall. Next spring disi and harrow the land- as soon as i will work. Juisit before -the last eoupl cf harrewings scatter broadcast on th soil about 250 lbs. per acre of fertil izer carrying 3 per cent., nitrogen, 1 per cent, phosphoric acid, and 2 per cent. potash. Harrow this in ther °uglily. When seeding, use 20 lbs orchard grass to 8 to 10 lbs, swee clover seed per acre. I would use the biennial syseet clover. Some farmers do not fiver sweet clover.as a.pasture. A., E. S.: I have about 1,000 rasp- berry plants ready to plant out. Would it he all right to plantathem new or would you advise me to`avsait'till next spring? I have also a field in pasture for four years. It is rock bottom with about four inches of earth which ' would like to plow and seed -down to alfalfa for pasture next spring. It is well drained. Would it be too late to sow alfalfa if done at once? , Answer: Good results have been re- ported front. fall setting; of raspberries, but as a rule spring planting gives the best stand, Unless you are located in the warmer counties of Ontario. I would adVise preparing the land for the canes this Tall. Plow it deeply as soon as you can and gi-ve the reeds a chance to come along. These can be destroyed 'cheaply and effectively this fall. Do not linie the soil. Rasp - d. 1 a 2 fall. A locust plantation will usu- fact,' eXperiments show that lirn'ing reduces the yield. As soon as the land will work in spring, cultivate in about 500 lbs. per 'acie of a 5-12 fertilizer, then set the cane. It is late to get a good stand of alfalfa ' this year. Would advise you to work 'the land up well this fall and seed the alfalfa in the spring. ally produce good posts in 12 to 18 Yearsh The loeust tioeitl is ver dur- able.

In the city of Shushan there arrived a nunrber, of, Jews who had 1- been on a visit to Jerusalem. There, _ Nehemiah eagerly plied 'thern -with , questions. - V. 3. The deputation told Nehemiah how miserable -in stbate 'Jerusalem Was in; in particular they told him of the sad plight of the inhabitants of Jer- usalem, and also of the Walls and defences of the city. In great afflic- tion and reproach, This relates to the inhabitants of the city. They were ! a froor people and in very depressed fortunes. Ryle says that ""the afflic- tion" denotes the evil plight within the walls: the `reproach,' the scorn- ful attitude of the enemies withoat." See Ps. '79: 4-9. The wall of Jerusalem. According to the Imola of Ezra, the temple had long been -rebuilt, but no- thing had been done as yet to recon- struct the defences of the city. Tile walls were l'jciart; as the Babylonians had left them in B.C„ 586,—a -heap of ruins. • , • - V. 4. The evil tidings stirred the patriotic heart, of Nehemiah, and like a true Oriental, he gave vent to his feelings vehem,ently. After the first paroxysm of grief he recollected his How Many Cows to Keep. It usually pays to keep nn more cows than you can raise hay and sil- age for in a rather poor year. Thls allowg some roughage to sell in good years, If a man keeps all the caws he can feed in a good year, he will have to buy hay in a poor year, or sell eonse (ha cows.

' II. Nehemiah's Prayer, 5-11. V. 5. The prayer opens withan ad- dress to God, naming his attributes of might and majesty on the one.hand and of faithfulness and merey on the other. Ryle points out that the Divine forgiveness alone could vouchsafe the restoration which Divine power alone Could effect. V. 6. In the first half of the verse there is the humble approach to God which is followed,. in the second wth a confession of sin, Confess the sins , . . Israel. The experiences of the exile had pierced the heart of Israel with a deep' sense of sin. The afflictions and desolation of those long years in 13abylon made Israel feel how terrible a thing sin is, Before the exile the religion of Israel was a joyous affair; after the exile it be- came much more soleinn. Israel's con- science had been awakened and became aware of sin, V. 7. The sin of Israel whieh had brOught the sorrows of the exile upon them is now specified. It was a lack of fidelity to the law given by IVIoses. thine handmaid.' V. 8, Nehemielipa-oceeded to appeal to God on the greunal of an ancient promise made by Gocl. This promise is set forth in. Deut. 30: 1-5. I will scatter you. The threat of disrpersion among the nations was frequently made before the exile as a warning against -sin. (See Dent. 4; 27; 28: 64; Jer. 9: 16; Ezek. 11:16.)

Nehemiah cenducled with the supplication that his prayer and that of his countrymen might be answered and particularly that his appeal to the king Artaxerxes, on behalf of the comm -unity in Jerusalem Should be successifts1: The laing's eupbearer. The office of cupbearer, Herodotus states, was "an honor of no small ac- count." His principal duty was to taste the wine before he handed it to the king as proof that it was -free from poison. He had, therefore, to be a trustworthy person and stood frequentlly on eonfrdentiaL relations to the king. Application. Nehemiah was not the first Jewish patriot to pray on behalf of his people. The Old Testament is rich in this lit- urgy of intercession. Moses on many occasions intercederle-His prayer after the idolatry ocf the golden calf, was an agony of desire: "Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin, --and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hest written." , Intensity, earnestness- in prayer, is certainly one of the great lessons to learn from these prayers.

We are told that Gladstone "rarely made an important speech without a fetv moments of sil- ent prayer before rising to his feet."
