IN s upon e paleâ€" 1 ver bor The ant 18 (2) For fall wheat some farmers prefor summer fallowing, which means that they set apart a piece of land especially for fall wheat, plow it early in spring and disk and harrow it periodically, so as to kill weeds and work it down into a fine surface. Others followâ€"early matuning crops such as early potatoes or eanly corn and even early oats with fall wheat, plowing the land just as soon as the first crop is taken off, and working it down by disking, harrowing and rollâ€" ing. The deciding factor of course will be the moisture condition of the soil. If there fias been a feirly good supply of rain there will be moisture enough to start the winter wheat crop. If, on the other hand it has been an exceedingly dry summer, fall wheat following an early spring growâ€" ing crop will suffer on account of lack of moisture.© Richness of soil is an important factor in starting fall wheat. There is just enough food in the wheat kernel to start the plant off so that it may form its first roots and send its shoots out of the ground. This must be supplemented with a supply of wellâ€"balanced available plantfood, if the crop is to proceed to a profitable yield. For this reason thousands of fall wheat growers are finding it highly profivable to dnill in from 200 to 400 lbs. per acre of fertilâ€" izer analvzing 2 to 3 per cent. amâ€" monia, 8 to 10 per cent. phosphoric acid and 2 to 4 per cont,. potash.

This fertilâ€" izer should be worked into the seed bed thoroughly before the strawâ€" berries are planted. In fact, at plantâ€" ing time it will be found advantageous to sceatter a handful of this fertilizer around the space where the plant is to be set and work it into the soil at the time the new plant is set. For growing plants about 500 ibs. per acre of high grade fertilizer such as mentioned above will be found highly profitable. This should be applied in spring just after the mulch has been raked off the strawberries and should be worked into the ground thoroughly by careful cultivation. ip this cultivatior r early in Augns it the rate of 10 loponding upon t the higher the g maniity per acre rrowers . prefer without nurse cr ‘hout nurse Cf rhly advantage th a nurse crop rye which they out a bushel : and the fetilzer, heomcse the 8.

Next to writing a letter of condolâ€" ence, there is nothing quite so difficult to write as .the acknowledgment of such messages. Few people find themâ€" selves in a mood to reply, and yet it seems ungracious to make no response. It may seem rather formal to acknowledge such letters with a card, but the card is sufficient for the time being, and letters written with a fulâ€" ler expression of feeling can be sent to intimate friends later on. Enâ€" graved cards, having spaces to be filled in with the names, can be had for this purpose, and are on sale at most stationers, the plain white cards in either correspondence or calling size being in best taste. In acknowlâ€" edging letters of condolence on the death of a wife and mother, cards may bear this message: Mr. John Hamilton and family grateâ€" fully acknowledge your expression of sympathy and kindness. Avoid freakish styles in stationery. Very long and narrow envelopes, or those which are cut nearly square, with the paper cut and folded to fit, are novelties.

In this lesson we do not need to \ dwell upon the merits of the controâ€" I\'orSy. The Old Testament history makes it plain that Jerusalem was, : from the days of David and Solomon, | the head and centre of the worship of iJe’hovah. The law of Deuteronomy (chap. 12) prescn‘bed distinctly and definitely that all worship by sacriâ€" fice and offering should be confined i to that one plgce. The altar on Mount \ Gerizim was built after the final | schism between Jews and Samaritans, | in the time of Nehemiah, and had no | sanction or authority in the ancient |\ Hebrew law or teaching of the proâ€" | phets. Moreover, it was prophets of | Jerusalem and Judah who foretold the | coming of the Messiah, and who deâ€" | clared that He would be of David‘s line (Isa. 11: 1; Micah 5: 2, etc.). The | Samaritans had developed a mixed, | halfâ€"heathen form of worship, involyvâ€" l ing much superstition and idolatry of a debased sort. See, for the origin | of it, II Kings 17: 24â€"41, and for some ] of its practices, Isa. 57: 8â€"14; 65: 1â€"7; Chairman â€" of â€" Athletics:â€"Please suggest some sports and contests for an Old Settlers‘ Picnic.

The Jews, however, scattered as they now were throughout the world, had established another form of worâ€" shipâ€"that of the synagogue, in which they read the Scriptures, listened to waords of instruction, sang hymns and offered prayers.
