| | Most hardâ€"andâ€"fast rules respecting manure removal are made only to be broken. Some commercial poultry keepersâ€"successful ones, tooâ€"clean the roosts only twice a year, in spring an| fall, and are skeptical of the pracâ€" tical features of any other policy. It ds not slovenliness on their part, e@ither. They dispense with droppingâ€" boards and let the manure accumulate in a boardedâ€"off space on the ground. Occasionally they throw absorbents on the pile. | A big Plymouth Rock poultry farm is proud of its efficient manurereâ€" mova!l system.

It will be well to apply the fert.lizer first, then scatter the seed, then harrow the sod if posâ€" sible so as to work the seed into the ground slightly. This should make growth which would give you some good hay. Answer:â€"You can get very good results from sowing a mixture of peas | and oats for a good hay crop. Use ‘a bushel of each to the acre. These may be sown at the same time. Best results, of course, will be gotten by drilling them in with a grain drill, and I believe in view of the runâ€"down condition of the soil it should pay you well to add 200 to 300 lbs. of fertilizer analyzing from 2 to 3 per cen‘. ammonia, 8 per cent. phosphoric acid, and 2 to 3 per cent. potash. This would give early food for the oats and peas as they sprout and would mean an add.tional yield which would pay big interest on the money investâ€" ed in fertilizers. The best thing to do would be to get a drill with fertilâ€" izerâ€"dropping attachment. _ Relative to the orchard, you d‘not say whether you intend to clean the orchard up or simply let it stand until you can desâ€" troy it. Assuming that the latter is the case and you do not wish to plowl it this year, I would advise you to‘ scatter some clover seed on top of! the ground and toâ€"dress the soil wit‘.hl fertilizer sat the rate of about 300 lbs. to the mcre. You should use] fertilizers high in nitrogen, 4 to 5 8. M.;â€"I have just moved onto a 160â€"acre sandy, gravelly farm, and I believe, pretty badly run. I wish to sow oats and peas this spring for quick hay. Are the peas sowed first, plowed in, ard then oats broadcasted, or can I broadcast together and harâ€" row in? Tell me just how to get the‘ _ best results. What can I put in an | old orchard sowed to June grass and used as a pasture? Don‘t wish to plow it, not this year. with a few pounds of clover seed thrown in produces good annual pasâ€" ture mixture in about six weeks. Use 1 bushel of each grain per acre. adapted to the purpose for which you are growing it. If you want an anâ€" nual pasture to use this coming spring a mixture of wheat and oats on ground for foilowing crops, as I intend to put the above into wheat next fall. That is pasture with sheep until time to turn under for wheat, twentyâ€"Ave acres to thirtyâ€"five sheep. Answer:â€"Sudan grass is not a pasture grass, speaking generally, but is grown for hay. It makes very rank growth, reaching a height of 4 to 6 feet, and compares with some of the ranker growing millets. It grows luxuriously down the southâ€"eastern coast, under semiâ€"ar.d conditions, but is not advised where better quality grass can be grown. A mixture of timothy and clover, I believe, would suit your purpose much better in Ontario, than attempting this newer material which is rank and poorly D. C.;â€"I would like a little inforâ€" mation in regard to Sudan grass for sheep pasture, and the effect it has have been obtained by sowing the alfalfa seed right on top of the growâ€" ing wheat, especially when the wheat has been fertilized. One of the leadâ€" ing alfalfa growers of Wisconsin has for years spring topâ€"dressed his grain with a fertilizer analyzing about 2 to 3 per cent. ammonia, 8 per cent. phosphoric acid, and 2 to 3 per cent. potash, using it at the rate of 250 lbs. to the acre. This is scattered right on top of the fall wheat and the alfalfa sown. Light harrows are then run over the patch, turning the teeth of the harrows back so that they will not drag out the growing wheat, and harrowing the ground with the drill rows and not across. This stirs the ground just sufficiently to bury the seed and work in the fertilâ€" izer, which results in a considerable advantage in the wheat itself and alâ€" most insures an alfalfa catch Not one for dillyâ€"dallery, Friend Robin looked aroundâ€" Then drew his wellâ€"earned salary, a worm, from out the #Â¥ound.

The first four verses of the chapter are the introâ€" duction provided by the editor of the book. They tell us of the evilâ€"doing of Israel and the oppression of Jabin, king of Hazor, and his captain, Sisera, whose home was in the northern part of Palestine (see Josh. 11: 1â€"15), and over whose king and people at an earker time Joshua had won a great victory. _ Now they had recovered power and were using it cmn.stl Israel.

They Told Sisera, Nothing is | said of the king‘s participation in the battle. Sisera appears to have put lzreat dependence upon his chariots, but owing to the marshy nature of 'the country and the river floods they were probably of little use. The Heâ€" brews had no chariots until the time of David (2 Sam. 8: 4). The chariot had a light wooden body, open behind, a single stout axle with two six to eight spoked wheels, The pole was fixed into the arle, bent up in front, and fastened by a band of leather to the front of the chariot. Two horses: were harnessed to it; or rather yoked, | for traces were not used. In Siun'l‘ chariots of ifron the woodwork was | probably strengthened by metal plates. Two or sometimes three men were assigned to each chariot, one of 10â€"11. At His Feet, that is, "after him." With his little army of ten thousand men, illâ€"equipped but stimuâ€" lated to enthusiasm and daring by the presence of the heroic womin who promised victory, Barak marched to Tabor. 8â€"9. If Thou Wilt Go With Me. Barak did not lack courage, but he saw with a soldier‘s understanding the magnitude and peril of the enterâ€" prise. If this woman of vision and of faith, through whose lips Jehovah spoke to him, would but go with him, then he felt assured of Jehovah‘s blessing and so of success. Deborah‘s answer was prompt and spirited, "I will surely go." But, she said, the honor of the enterprise will go to a woman. man, a trained soldier and leader of the northern tribesmen. _ Thersfore, she called Barak, whose home was in the north, near the Jordan river and the lake of Hulah, and who, no doubt, had been one of those to suffer most at the hands of the Canaanite enemy. "Deborah" means a "bee," and “Bar-‘ ak," "a flash of lightning." This comâ€" bination of the bee and the lightning gave promise of a stinging blow against the oppressor. The busy, activity of the woman, her wisâ€" dom _ and _ resource, and _ the strength, determination and lightnâ€" | ingâ€"like swiftness of the man,| made for victory. Mount Tabor, at| the northâ€"east end of the plain of | Esdracion, was chosen as the rallying point. Barak was bidden to call the tribesmen of Zebulum and Naphtali, over whom he had already some inâ€"‘ fluence and authority. The chosen battlgground is the banks of the river Kishon, always treacherous in times of flood but well known to the men of Israel. _ Deborah‘s instructions to Barak are given as the word of Jehovah. | _ Girls‘ names not in general use, are Adelaide, Agnes, Alice, Barbara, Beaâ€" | trice, Christine, Clara, Dorothea, | Eleanor, Emilie, Frances, Grace, Gerâ€" | trude, Helen, Hilda, Ida, Isabel, Jean, , Janet, Jessica, Julia, Laura, > Lucy, ]Louiu, Marion, Mariam, Olive, Paulâ€" | ine, Ruth, Sidney, Sylvia, Theodora, i Ursula and Winifred.

The Lord Discomfited Sisera. The battle was fought, no doubt with courage and skill, but it was the inâ€" visible leader who gave the vietory. There was a storm, a heavy fall of rain, a swiftly rising flood, and the enemy was caught upon soft and treacherous ground, amid marshes and quicksands. It seemed that heaven and earth had conspired to overthrow and destroy the enemy. It was surely the Lord‘s doing. | The lesson story goes on to toll of the flight of Sisera, and of his murder in the tent of Heber, the Kenite, by Jael, the wife of Heber, a murder which seems shocking to us but was regarded as justifiable and praiseâ€" worthy in the minds of the people of that primitive age (zee 5: 24â€"27).

She was led to believe that this was the divinely appointed day, and like Moses and Joshua, she believed that Jehovah went before the arm.es of His people into the battle. For among the earliest ideas of the people of Israel about Jehovah was this that He was a God of war, firhtâ€" ing His people‘s enemies. "The Lord is a man of war," they said.
