Analysis -1n the former part of this 1"'-'"4 beautiful Psalm, ver, 1—'6, the heavens are represented as the instructors of mankind; the subject, the universality, and the m'an'ner of their instructions are pointed out; the glory, beauty, and powerful effects olf the solar dight are described. The latter partof the Psalm, 7-14, contains an encoltnium on the word of God, in which its pro- perties are enumerated; and a prayer of the Psa'hnist'for pardoning and re- straining grace, and' for the accep- tance of these and all other his devo- tions and meditations. From a citation which St. Paul hath made of the 4th verse, it appears, that in the ex'possitioii we are to raise our thoughts from things natural to things spiritual; we are to contemplate the publication of the gospel, the .m'anufestation of the Light of Life, the Sun of Righteous- ness, and the efficacy of evangelical doctrine. In this view the ancients •have considered the Psalm and the ,Church appointed it to be read on H, McInnes chiropractor Of Wingham, will be at the Commercial Hotel, Seaforth Monday, Wednesday and Friday Afternoons Diseases of all kinds success-' fully treated.

Under ,the name of "heaven," or "the heavens,"`is comprehended that fluid mixture of light and air which is everywhere diffused about u; and to, the influences of which, are owing all the 'beauty and fruitfulness of the earth, all vegetable and animal life, and the various kinds of motion throughout the system of nature, By their manifold' and, beneficial opera- tions, therefore, as well as by their (beauty and magnificence, "the hea- vens declare theglory of God;" they .point Mat out to us, who, in Scripture language, is styled "the ,glory of God," by.whom themselves and all other things were made, and are upholden; and who is .the Author of every grace. and blessing, to the sons of men: 'the 'firma:talent,",or expansion olE the celes- tial eletnents, wherever it 'extends, "showet'h his handy work," not only as the -Creator, but likewise as the Re- deemer of, the World. And thus do the 'heavens afford inexh'austib'1e matter 'POT contentplaltion a'nd devotion to the philosopher, and for the Christian, THE GARDEN. Until the 'first of July new and estabtlis'hed roses can be -helped along by surface applications ,oE quick- acting fertilizers, sti'cih as: nitrate Of soda, sulphate of ammonia, or acid phosphate. Use a scant tablespoon- ful Of any di 'these -fertilizers, dig •ill lin lightly 'around, but not touching the plant. .One or two ap- plications a fortnight apart are suf- ficient. /After 'July only slow -acting fertilizers, such as bone -meal 'and po- tash, should be given. :Phosphates, and particularly potash, are; needed on muck and sandy •soils. Too much' nitrate will crake .the plants more susceptible to attacks of fungi. Wood ashes, whichsupply potash, may be ap'pl'ied at any time. 'W'eakti- quid manure is valuable. To be safe,. it is well to cease all deep forking after the roses 'become settled, but shallow 'cu'ltivation is advisable.

Leads in Several Crops. 'Kent leads all other counties of On- tario in the production of fall wheat, root crops and 'White beans and is second only to Bssex in hu'skin'g corn acreage, according to figures issued by the Bureau of Statistics covering the year 1'9'3d, Kent County has to .its credit ap- proximately 74,760 acres of fall wheat and the nearest approach is by Sim- coe County, with 512;1011(' acres, accord- ing to the report. This county grows nearly half the white bean's produced in Ontario, its acreage for this crop is 33,3211, w'hile't'he acreage of all other counties of the province total 716,31112. Root crops total' 20,8311 acres, boosted by the cultivation of sugar beets, one of the most important cash crops, 'Kent is exceeded'" by very few counties with the percentage of land under cultivation and assessment. Go- vernsnen't reports indicate that the percentage is 87.80 of the entire area, Total land assessed is 566,983. New Merchandising Idea Reported by J. A. Carroll. J. A. ,Carroll, secretary, Ontario Marketing Board, whose .- study ' of markets and mlarketti'ng took him to Detroit recently, has reported a new type of merchandising.. Mr. Carroll observedthat eight re- tail markets had been opened.. under such names as "pa'ckers' warehouse" and "canners' wlarehouse." These' markets are not in any way elaborate, and personnel is cut to a minimum, consisting in most cases afa cashier and a limited number of clerks who act as guiders;' Business is conducted entirely: on a self serve basis. "It was pointed out to rte" said Mr. Carroll, "that this 'warehouse' idea was de- signed to give the consumer the great- est amount of high quality food for the 'most reasonable ,price: This, of course, would be effected through the media of buying direct from produc- ers in ca'rtlbad lots, eliminating • the usual retail store fixtures and de'cora on, "that if its first warehouse prov- ed successful no hestitancy would be shown in establishing a chain of these shopping centres," These warehouses have been install-. ed in vacant buildings, conveniently. located 'on bus and trolley routes, For shoppers who arrive in private cars, ample free ,parking space is provided. While this scheme was first tried in Detroit, a few months ago, it has now spread to . several other American cities. Potato Market Demands Quality. The merchandising of pottoes, ;as in the case of most other commodit- ies, is in a state of change and grow- ers who propose to keep abreast of the times must necessity recognize that fact, This is the opinion of Cassia, Central Ontario 'Potato Grow- ers' Association. One evidence of this change is that many consnmers'in cit- ies ,and towns are becoming interested in the . manner in which potatoes are grown. They are �beginetting toask if the potatoes have been grown from' certified seed, if they have been spray- ed to pray-edto prevent blight, and many other questions pertaining' to ,production.' And even greater numbers` are asking for a distinct variety of potato. 'Growers who select their seed care- full'y,attd who fdllawthe best cultur- al practices will, in geiueral, produce. a higher yield of potatoes of a quality' which meets the exacting detnands of today's oonsumer. Tradee Representatives DYING CITY. 'Once called "the 'Rome of Asis for fur its ecclesiastical learning and piety and "trite Athens of the 'World," fpr its art and culture, ;ancient ,'Samarkand to -day is a dying city. It' has been a dying metropolis for 500 years; but the recent closing by the (Soviet /Gov- ernment of the mosques and schools of divinity of Tanterlane's once proud city,_togother with the Bolshevists' destruction of private trading, seem to have hastened its death agony To- day, with o-day,with the exception of a few scat- tered bazaars and 'a few privately • owned tea shops, Samarkand is only a giant tombstone over the ruins of its great past, when it was one of the most flourishing cities of the East; 'A city imbued with thousand -year- old ,traditions of the Orient and Meas- uring time only by the slow plod, :of the camel, the (infinity of the desert and the eternity of the burning sands, found it could not holdout against the modernizing influences of a •Comm munist government eager to sweep away the retrogression and lethargy of the east for the progress and mat- erialism of the west. Everywhere the red flag of ,Conh;ntunisan is replacing the emblems. of Mohammedanism, Those who do not join the red pro- cession must inevitably perish. "If you want 'o see riches, go to India," says an old eastern proverb; "if you want to see piety, go to Mecca; if you want -to see both, then go to Samarkand,' ;But to -day neith- er riches eitllenriches nor pitey can be seen in the city which the ancients called "the garden of God's chosen. The old capito'l's riches have crumbled along with its monuments and shrines. iIde 105 mosques, 14 medresses, six Jewish synagogues and 91 mektebs are closed or are in- ruins. Communism and ma- terialism are displacing the old relig- ion and spiritual fervor. Trading in the old city seems to be confined to the street 'hawking of bread, vegetables and small wares by impoverished -looking' natives. ,The only other places where the visitor finds any life are the "bakhchisarai"' (tea shops) where the native Uzbe- kistans, Sarkis, Turkomen, Kirgiz, Ka- zaks and Tadjiks sit on their haunches Chinese fashion, day and night, sip- ping green sugarless tea, puffing hub- ble-bubble pipes, carousing anis retail- ing the tittletatle of the town. - The famous, regi stan (public square) of Samarkand, with its nobie mosques, medresses and minarets, the object of awe and admiration of all who behold these, is almost deserted. It was once the gathering place of pious Moslems from all over the world, who. came here to pray, to study, and to listen to the holy fathers native magicians, astrologers,' and other eastern wise men.. Today this historic square is only a meeting place for Communistic organizations. 'Located in the .centre of a great caravan route connecting China, India Afglaan'istan, Persia and Russia, and lying in well -irrigated and fertile area, Samarkand possesses vast commercial possibilities, which the existing Soviet regime has .been quick t0. seize. But the government is confining itsactiv- ities and improvements to the new city of Samarkand, which is about three miles from the old capitol and which was founded by the Czarist regime in 148T1. 'For the benefit of the "proletarian masses" the Soviet Government has built .in the new city schools, hospitals, workers' clubs, co-operative stores red army educational centres and bath houses. Vas 'Samarkand now is the capitol of the Soviet -fostered (Republic of Ezbekistan, whose area is almost twice as great as that of the New'. England States, but whose population is less than that of New York City, the Soviet authorities have converted one -08 the old palaces in the Czarist regime into a parliament and govern- ment house.
