"As thou didst send nie into tlie world, even so sent I them into the world." God's one groat concern for the world was that it should be saved; to uchieve this tremendous purpose, he sent the Lord .Iosuh into the world. Tills same purpose in the heart of God Kunains today, and it is to this end that Christ sends ns into the world, thoupli of course our work in accomplishing God's plan is not iden- tical with the work that Christ did. ' Ond for their sakes I sanctify my- self, fhat they themselves also may he sanctified in truth." Christ made the truth actual In his own incarnate life, and his victory over sin and over the world, and his own holiness, are to be appropriated by us by the very Spirit of Christ who lives within us.

Thieves on the set are the reason for all this uproar.

Question: â€" "1 have a lot of wood ashes. Would it do to put on land now or would it leach out too much'.' 1 intend to put it en vege- table and root crops. Also, can you tell me anything about Gypsum or land plaster as it is commonly call- ed'? My father years ago used to sow it on red clover and on the tur- nips when nicely up. He said it kept the fly oiT. Does it help vege- table growth? I used to put it on my cut potatoes to dry or keep them from bleeding us it were, since we had to cut them quite awhile ahead when putting in 10 or 12 acres. 1 have not been able to get it the last few years."â€" T. C. F., Peel County. Answer: â€" I would not advise you to put wood ashes on the land at this time. Too much available plantfood would leach out before growing time- Rather store the wood ashes so that neither rain nor snow can fall on it, and in the spring put it on the plowed ground and work it in by discing and harrowing. You are quite right ii. putting this on vege- table and root crops since it is rela- tively high in potash. It contains about thirty per cent lime which will tend to keep your soil sweet in re- action. Gypsum is sulphate of lime, while Limestone is carbonate of lime. As you indicate, Gypsum use to be used in large quantities. It did not correct soil acidity, but it did let loose the potash out of the soil. That is why the crops were improved in yield and quality where it was applied, but its use is not to be recommended since its action in lib- erating potash resembles very closely the writing of cheques on a limited bank account. Gypsum does not put back any plantfood into the soil, but it does help let loose highly valuable potash. This is why it used to be considered valuable to dip cut po- tatoes in Gypsum. The potato crop is a lover of iiigh potash fertilizer since potash is instruir.ental in form- ing the starch which fills the po- tato tuber. You would do better to put your money into fertilizer suitable for po- tatoes rather than put on Gypsuna which depletes your soil of potash. 2. Question: â€" "I am seeking in- formation regardi.ig the comparative values of the various farm manures such as poultry, sheep, swine, etc., as fertilizers. If you have available any information in respect to this, please send it to me as soon as pos- sible. Also is it a fact that poultcy manure is too strong to be used alone. I understand it can be used without harm by florists. I shall be very glad to receive this in- formation." â€" C. 0. H., Wenworth County.

Poultry manure is double as rich in nitrogen as horso manure, three times as rich in phosphoric acid and about the same in potash as is horse manure. If poultry manure were to be used alone on grain crops or on such crops as tomatoes, it would tend to grow too much straw or stalk, on -3 7.0 12.7 7.5 6.6 7-3 6.7 account of the nitrogen. It can be easily balanced by adding super- phosphate or better still, a pho»- phatc-potash fertilizer, such as 0-12- 10 or 0-12-15; Florists value poultry manure highly on account of its high nitrogen content. This is also true of sheep manure which flori.sts and gardeners use extensively. You will notice that sheep manure is about twice as rich in potash as is poultry -nanure.
