"Economical production" should be the watchwoird of every reoducer, whether it be of pork, beef or mutton. With mill feeds at the prices preâ€" vailing toâ€"day and the prosnect of an increase in price of some of the more essential feeds it behooves the proâ€" drper to study very carefuily the feeding problem and adopt any megl- od that will tend to give him the cheapest production. RBefore this job was done a neighâ€" bor of his said he had 20 acres of stubble land that had been so wet he could not get it plowed. It was reasonably dry now, and, as his men were all busy, he would like to have me plow it. The day we were plowâ€" ing, the work looked so well to him that he decided to have a 30â€"acre field of sod plowed for the same purpose. The result was that from these jJobs I netted enough to go a good way toward paying the season‘s wages of the engine man. Since then the road boss has asked me to grade much of the road, and others have spoken for considerable plowing. Last spring, after the rush of plowâ€" Ing was over, a man living some ten miles away sent word that he had 65 acres of sod which he would like to have me plow so he could plant corn. He offered me $1.50 an acre and furnished the fuel and a man to help. These same general facts hold true when one is using an engine for diskâ€" Ing, harrowing, or harvesting. I do all these things with the tractor. ground is in the best condition. This one thing alone should add materially to the productiveness of the field. I also find it quite practical to attach a harrow behind the plow so that the ground is harrowed when still moist, putting it in ideal condition to conâ€" serve the moisture. two men plowed 23 actes in 10 hours. I have found that this engine is able to plow when the ground is in fit eondition to be worked at all. There are many advantage$ gained by using such an outfit.

A tractor built strong enough to withstand the heavy stresses and strains consequent upon field work can do a good job of plowing by hitching it to several ordinary horse gangs These, however, do not give as good satisfaction as the special tracâ€" tor plow, since ‘hey are not so comâ€" pact in construction, are not so easily handled, and are not so completely under the control of the operator. Personaliy, I have in time past ed two types of tractors. One of :e:=e is 45 horsepower, the other 30 horsepower. I have used the latter size the past two season:. x This engine is designed for general field work on small or large farms. I have been ‘in the habit of pulling from three to six 14â€"inch plows. The tractor handles these very successâ€" fully to a depth of eight inches in all kinds of soil. I find from experience that this engine v:ill use from two to two and oneâ€"half gallons of fue!; to the acre, making the cost of operaâ€" tion quite low. i |â€"roke man with this tracâ€" lar tractor plow is om 10 to 1Mâ€"acres a ill average from 15 y.

In Matt. ]e| 13 there are seven parables of the :n“y‘, kingdom: the Sower, the Tares, the \ _ The Weapons of the Kingdom.â€"In | one remarkable passage (Luke 17: 20â€" | 21) Jesus declares that "the kingdom | of God cometh not with obseryation," | that is not in visible power and splenâ€" | dor. It is "within you," or "In the \ midst of you," He said. With this harmonizes St. Paul‘s saying in IL Cor. 10: 3â€"5, that "the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh." Neverâ€" theless the weapons are mighty. They |are spiritual forces workingâ€"like the |\life that is in the seed and like the leaven in the meal, destroying the | evil, reviving the dead, transforming | character, quickening and confirming faith. and building a new world, a. world in which heaven and earth will be jained in full and loving obedience o God â€"auxd in fellowship with our Lord and Saviouy Jesus Cgrht. * The ideal of the kingdom is a perâ€" fect order, both in the individual life and in society. That is what all Chrisâ€" tian men and women labor for and pray for continyaHy. It is that they may do God‘s will perfectly in all the duties and relations of life. It is to love the Lord our God with all the heart, and to love our neighbor as ourself, This is the standard which must never be lowered, the high atâ€" tainment of Christâ€"likeness after which we are continually striving. But we must recognize, sadly indeed and shamefacedly, the evil that is still present with us, fight it as best we may, knowing that in the end judgâ€" ment is sure and the good will be triumphant. â€" This last fact regarding the kingâ€" dom of God in the world, or the church as the visibly constituted and organâ€" ized force of the kingdom, has not been sufficiently recognized or underâ€" stood: The gospel throws the door wide open both in Christian and in nonâ€"Christian lands, and many resâ€" pond to its invitation. Multitudes of widely varying character and disposiâ€" tion flock into the church. The leaven of the truth is working, but the mass is not immediately leavened. _ The process goes on through the ages. In the individual character elements of evil still remain aMÂ¥ng with the good, and in the society and offices of the church evil men often find a place. The church, at the best, is made up of imperfect people. Who shall draw the line and make the separation between good and bad? Sothetimes the distincâ€" tion is clear; very often it is not clear, To root up the tares might be to root| up the wheat also. See vv. 29, 30,| 37â€"43. | ; Mustard Seed, the Leaven, the Hid ; Treasure, the Prarl of Great Price, “and the Net. They are each and | every one gems of teaching. The truth |does not lie on the surface, but beâ€" i comes clear to the one who seeks the deeper meaning. Two of the parables | are interpreted by Jeésus to his inâ€" ~quiring disciples (vv. 10â€"23 and 86â€"43), for, He said to them, "Unto you it is ‘given to‘know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven." The meaning | of the parable, its hidden truth, its | spiritual significance, is unfolded to ithem because they are sincere and tearnest inquirers. They want, with! | all their heart and soul, to do the will | of God, and the will of God is revealed | to them in these inimitable parables. This new order of the kingdom,l with its rule of justice and righteousâ€" ness, of peace and good will, under! the supremacy of love, is a treasure | indeed, for which a man might well‘ part with all his possessions. It is "a‘ pearl of great price" (vy. 45â€"46). But' it is also like a net which gathers of| every kind, both bad and good (vv.! 47â€"50). * | The parable of the Mustard seed (vv. 31â€"32) represents the kingdom of God as growing in the world from a small beginning to a great consummaâ€" tion. The mustard plant (Sinapis nigra) grows wild in Palestine, but is sometimes cultivated, and in the gardens "reaches a great size, being often from ten to twelve feet in height." The birds are very fond of its small seeds which it bears in great abundance. So, like the tiny seed, will the kingdom grow in the hearts of men, in human society, and among the nations, until it dominates all other forces and bestows its benefits unon all men. So also are the precepts and laws of the kingdom like leaven, Wworking silently and yet mightily for the transforming and renewing of the world (v. 33). i Prayer for the Kingdom. In Matt. 6: 10 is the twoâ€"fold petition, "Thy kingâ€" dom come," and "Thy will be done as in heaven so on earth." For the kingâ€" dom means simply doing the will of God. That must include also seeking to know what God‘s will is and enâ€" deavoring to make it srpreme in all things. The one who prays for the coming of the kingdom, therefore, will also prayâ€"for light and understanding, that he may knmow its character and its operation. And he will seek also to have some part in the realization of his prayer, in the bringing in of Christ‘s universal reign. The Kingdom of Godâ€"Matt. 6:10; 13: 31â€"33, 44â€"50; 18:2, 3; Luke 17:20,21; 2 Cor. 10:3â€"5. Geld. Fext, Matt. 6:33.
