-- Bacteria Live. Million Years J 1 Some Are -Recovered From . Ocean Floor Fhat Have Re- mained Alive to Rige Old © Age Recovery from beneath the ocean floor of bacteria which poséibly were in a state of suspended anima. tion for more than 1,000,000 years- was reported last week by Sydney C. Rittenberg, research assistant of the Scripps Institution of Ocean-- ography, Ta Jolla, Calif, This discovery prompted the sus- pended-animatfon theory from Dr. Claude E. Zobel Scripps marine ml. crobology professor directing the roseatch in seeking an explanation for the presence of such aerobes "In an environment where there is no free bxygen, and probably has been nono for well 'over, 1 1,000, 000 years," IN SUSPENDED ANIMATION "It is highly {improbable - that they have been burled recently by earthquakes or to other submarine selsmic disturbances," Dr,- Zobel sald, "and there iz no evidence to indicato that these bacteria' have been carried deep in'. the mud by burrowing animals. "Therefore, {t follows that unless these obligately (oxygen-requiring) bacteria can resplre in-a manner not kngwn to bacterlologists, they possibly have been burled in a state of suspended animation for a long, long time.

Golden Text -- "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive 'us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteous: ness." 1 John 1:9, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time -- Hosea began his .pro- phetic ministry about 745 B.C, and continued it throughout the re- maining years of the eighth cent. ury, Placo -- Northern Israel. In this lesson we consider anew one of the greatest themes that can ever occupy the minds of man -- the love of God fér*humanity. Once let this powerful truth become a permanent vital part of our life; and then, burdens will litt, we have a hope that fadeth not away, and "we in turn shall love him because «he first loved us. . The name Hosea probably means "help", being derived from a Heb- rew verb meaning "to save", The first three chapters of this book give us a' vivid picture of Hosea's own 'persondl tragic history, it we interpret them as an historical nar- rative, The picture which the pro- phet draws of the internal condi- tions of the kingdom in his day is a teriblo-one. Soclety"appears com- pletely dissolved; and one deed of blood follows upon the heels of an- other. - : RETURN TO GOD Hos. 6:1. Come, and.let ug return unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and "-{--he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up, 2. After two days will he revive us: on the third day he .will raise us up and we shall live before him. 3, And-let us know, lot us follow on to know Je- hovah; his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth, Here the prophet pleads with wayward Is-- rael to return unto the Lord, who, having punished them because of thelr transgressfons,- would In the hour of their sincere repentance heal their wounds, raise them up from the state of death, and bestow such a spiritual refreshing upon them as could be compared with the renewal of the earth -after-much-' needed showers of rain. JUDGMENT INEVITAJLE 4, 0 Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O'Judah, what shall 1 do unto thee? {for your goodness i3 as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth early away. 5. And therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my. mouth; and thy judgments are as the light that go- eth forth, 6. For I desire goodness, and not sacrifice; and the know- , ledge of God more than burnt-of- . ferlngs, 7, But they like Adam have "transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously ag- ainst me. Ephraim is Hosea's fame' fliar name for the kingdom of Is- rael, which consisted of the ten nor- thern tribes. In the section we are now considering, it is the Lord him. "selt speaking, through the lips of the prophet. He gives us a picture of God in difficulty because he can- _not deal with man -- not because of _ Israel's sin, but because of the s come-and- -go goodness of Israel. THE FINAL PLEA 14:4. 1 will heal their backsliding "and I wlll love them: freely; for mine anger is turned away from him, 5. I wlll be as the dew unto Is. rael; he shall blossom as' the lily, and cast forth his roots as Leban- on.

Beauty strength and- frultfulness are set before us inthis passage. 8, Eph.' raim shall say, What have I to.do any more with Idols? I have answ- ered, and will regard him: I am dike*a green fir-tree; from me is thy fruit found. "Many commenta- ors bellevo that this verse should be read as a dialogue between Je-_ hovah and repentent Israel, We are reminded of our Lord's words (John 15:4) ~= ""Ablde in me, and 'Tin you, As the branch cannot bear frult of itsell," -- ete, ° WALK IN.

The 4 Institute of American Meat Packers now hus penetrated the mind of the pig. It is declared by T. sepiqr animal husbandman, and N, RJ} Ellis, senior 'chemist, in the United States Bureau of Animal Indystry, that there is apparently a distinct differencedn the mental attitude of a pig fed by hand by its owner and that of one self-fed away from human society. cording to the latest Yearbook of . the Department of Agricultore: A self-fed pig seems to be more satisfied, seldom grunting er squealing, wheércas the pig that is hand-fed is usually squealing for feed at various intervals be tween feedings. BETTER PORK PRODUCERS The self-fed pig eats more daintily* and , oftener than the hand-fed pig, and is assumed to be a more efficient pork producer .than the pig handicapped by hand feeding. His sense of self-suffic- iency, his gratification derived from independence, his "exercise of power establish a serenity of mind that promotes assimilation.

Bell, of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, assisted by other members of the O.A.C. faculty) A Farmer Plans His Spring Work While modern aids, te agriculture have taken much of the guess out of "What will the harvest be?" spring on the farm is always an adventure, wifen one contemplates the mystery of life as it biirsis forth anew in herb and tree. In Preparation John Brown believes in being prepared, and his spring campaign began with the careful overhau!- ing of his éombination grain and fertilizer drill,. making sure that the working parts were clean and movable. As an added precaution he applied some coal-0il to the mechanism and then a few drops of lubricating .0il. Next, he and going and cleaned the sced grain, treating it afterwards with the a protection against smut _and root rots. Fertilizer Program John's fertilizer ~porgram was planned during his: winter leisure B. Leslic Emslie, who had to ad- mit fhat he could find no flaw in it. The soil of John Brown's farm is a medium to heavy loam, and he has found a- 2-16-86 fertilizer more satisfactory than 2-12.6 for grain crops. When seeding down he applies it at the rate of about "250 1bs. per acre, though this year ier application is warranted, Application of Manure On the Brown farm there is usually a plentiful supply of barnyard manure, and. a large portion 'of this goes 'on the corn land, while some is applied to the new seeding and the remainder on the smaller aréas where po- ~ tatoes, mangels and garden stuff are grown. The corn land receives a liberal dressing of manure which has been reinforced With phosphate in the stable, but for good meas ure John supplements this with about 200 lbs, of 2-12-6 fertilizer per acre and always "fills the silo with some to spare.
