Fertilizers in the Orchard.
A bulletin entitled "Modern:Orel-1,2
A.rd Practices," recently issued bytthe
°minion Department of Agriculture
Is, a -veritable handbook on the culti'

author, Mr, PI, B., Davis, Chief Assist-

speaks 'from Wide experience. ' Ile
treats of training the young'tree'year

The usual method of treating seed

THE WIREWORM.
The wireworm is a slender yellow-
ish -brown worm about an inch in
length when full grown. The insects
live entirely below ground, where they
feed, thrive and multiply on decaying
vegetable matter and on the roots of
growing plants their smooth wiry
cylindrical bodiee, allowing thein to
move 'freely through' the soil. Pota-
toes, onions, beets, and other garden
vegetables are commonly attacked,

iults from past work at the DO^
4Trinion Experimental Farms have
clearly demonstrated the fact that
• commercial Sertilizers; when' properly
used in conjunction with',c,over-crops,
will give as good results as the same
amount of plant food supplied in the
form of manure. In fact if manure
alone is used, the oafestion of a suffl-
•cient supply:of nitrates at the critical
period in spring is not likely to be
solved, for the nitrogen in the manure
is not in as readily available a :form as
it is ' in nitrates. When manure is
used,,the time of high nitrate libera-
tion is generally somewhat after the
period when it ?IS most required, --so
that, briefly, it, is recomniendect in
61 -chard practice. to depend upon the
different forms of nitrogen, potash?
and phosphate as found in commercial
fertilizers to supply the mineral ele-
ments of plant food." The bulletin
also goes fully into the qnestion of the
form in which to purchase and apply
fertilizesei, It can play be said that
the variety and explicitness Of the in-
formation, along, with recommenda-
tjons to be follewed, contained in the
publication will'be found -invaluable
by all orchardists. -

on account of the many enemies that

By the use of the proper mixtures, it
is not a difficult matter' to keep rose

V. 7. The leading adversaries of the
Jews are introduced. They have al-
ready been mentioned in 2:10, 19, 20
and 4:1-3. Sanballat. In ch. 2:19 he is
called the Hor5iiite, that is a native
of Beth-I-Ioron, a town situated about
eighteen miles north of Jerusalem, and
belonging to the Samaritans. In one.
of the papyri discovered in. Elephan-
tine, Egypt,mention is made of "San -
ballet, governor 'of Samaria." This
was in all likelihood the Sanballat
mentioned here. The Saina.rita:ns were

called in ch. 2:10,, "the" servant,- the
,Ammonite." Some commenthtorS have
conjectured that Tobiali was the pri-
vate secretary of Sanballa.t.... If this
were the case, he had a double animus
against the Jews,—the race hatred be-
tween the jesvs and the Ammonites,
and the feud between the- Jews and
the Samaritans. Arabians; the lawless
13edouin tribes who roamed over the
Arabian steppes. Ashdodites; citizens
of one of ' the principal Phillistine
cities. They were . . wroth. Their
indignation was kindled because in
proportion as Jerusalem was strength,
ened, their dwn independence would
be weakened or threatened. "I3a.lance
of power"'was' as real a problem for
them as for us.
V. 8. At first their opposition was
shown, chiefly in taunt and ridicule,
ch. 2:19 and 4:1-3. When they saw
that their tauntshavalled nothing, they
held a council in which it was decided
to muster, an army and hinder; by
force; the rebliilding of the Nvalls.

within the walls, Nehemiah describes
the danger without" (Ryle). The in-
tention of their adversaries had been
reported, no doubt, by people who
came up to Jerusalem from their dis-
ta-icts. When the Jews learned of it,
the element of surprise was eliminated
from the contemplated attack.
V. 12. Ryle says that, "to discontent
within and the schemes of the -foe
without, -is added the panic of the
Jews in the outlying districts." The

a good meaning. The houses Enid
buildings, for the most part, closely
adjoin the walls. Nehemiah chose the
open spaces where the buildings were
well clear of the all, and there he
stationed armed detachments. In these
open spaces the buildings would not
interfere with their movements. . .
Set the people afte9• their fconilies. The
defence of the city and the operations
on the wane was distributed accord-
ing to familie,s. The defenders iyere
stationed in front of the places where
the respeetive families were at tvork
rebuilding the walls. Strong family
feeling .would thus ensure a strong
dere-Tice.
V. 14, Nehemiah sought to putheart
into the workers and defenders by-ap-
,
pealing to their faith in Jehovah and
to their love of their It -insulate. Freht
for VOnr brethren. It would appear
that Nehemiah considered that the
very existence of the Jewish CM1-1/1111T1-•
ity Jerusa.lern Was at.stalte. If their
foes secured an entrance into the city,
they would completely exterminate the
hi habitants. This grim warning would
serve to stiffen the resistance of the
defenders. " • '
V. 15. When our enemies heard, The
opposing forces had co.ntemplated a
surprise attack, but when they learned
that the Jews were aware of their
plans and were prepared to resist
them, they saw that they were foiled
and gave up the notion of an iminedi-
ate ' assault. We . . returned to the
zoci/f. The news that their adversar-
ies had abandoned their project was
sure to travel back to Jerusalem. It
permitted the Jews to concentrate once
more upon the building operations.
Even SO, they went about their work
armed, i vs. 17 18.
APPLICATION.
Jeremiah' was a prophet who ,re -
fleeted deeply ancl to purpose over the
tendencies at work in the nation. We
have in Nehemiah a different type,—
a hold, agg'ressive man of action. flay-
ing heard the story of his fellow -
countrymen's distress hi. distant Jeru-
salem, he was not content. to brood
over it. He was not like Hamlet who
thought precisely on this event, but
could not put his idea into execution.
No, with Nehemiah action was the
iniportant thing. No drearning and
sighing for Neheiniah. Though Ids
own fortune was assured (was he not
cup -bearer to the Persian Emperor?),
he made his resolve to strike a blow
for his far-off fellow -Jews. With what
wisdom and tact he urged his.reqttest
to be appointed governor of Palestine
(ch. 2), and one can in imagination
see him with his squadron crossing to
jelSuosinaelelifeatures otiNehersiali's Pro-
gram- of reconstruction may appear
harsh to us, but he saved religion in
his day. What enduring service did
he render? Alexander the' Great
trampled down the kingdoms of the
world and started the flow of Greek
culture among all nations. Only one
withstood.the onset of Hellenic culture
and paganism—tile Jewish people.
They withstood this invasion because
the nation had been made "hard as
steel and strong as iron" by Nehemiah
and Ezra.
