But this speech did put the godly king in mind of tie infinite power of God, by whom kings have and enjoy their power, and thereupon he made this demonstration to retell their "ttery. He tack off his cloak, and wrapping it round together, sate down upon it near to the sea, that then begun to ow, saying: "Sea, I com- mand thee that thou touch not my feet'."

Some one has named the Book of Proverbs a manual of conduct. it urges the virtues of perseverance, honesty, kindness, tempernnce. It warns against harmful habits, and emghasizes the value of wisdom. _ By way of warning, the writer in t.-day's passage gives in the question- and-answer method a Avid picture of a drunkard. Who is that fellow with his head between his hands, groaning, "Oh," "Alas"'. (The Hebrew words translated in v. 29 as "woe" and "sor- row" are interjection: not nouns.) The answer comes in verse 30: He is a drunkard-passing through the mis- ery of returning sobemess. His inter- ieetions express the distress disaster, discord, self-reproach, disgust, disease --such as cirrhosis of the liver with dropsy, chronic infiammatirn of the stomach. fatty degeneration of the heart. and many other disorders fre- quently due, in whole or in-part, to the slow noisoning of the continued use of alcohol.

They had always been hard drink- ers in North Israel, and notoriously immoral. Fifty years before, Amos had hurled his denunciations upon them for their luxury and debauchery, see Amos 3: l2. 15;4:1;6:1,6. Probably Just previously to Isaiah's prophecy of doom, King Hoshea had made an alliance with the crafty ruler of Egypt and had revolted from As- syria. This political folly, together with the moral cancer of drink and all kinds of indulgence, was eating out the vitality of the nation. Its doom was certain. The Lbrd will send his "mighty and strong one" (v. 2)--Assyrir--to exe- cute his wrath upon his disobedient children. In the wild sweep of hlil, rain and torrent they ill be destroy- ed.

Modern: Belshazzars, surrounded by the gaunt‘ spectres of economic chaos, poverty, misery, fail to hear the challenge of the times. Instead of devoting their available time and energy to averting tragedy, saving the suffering alleviat- ing pain, clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, they give themselves to the usual round of silly social activ- ities. Not until he had tasted the wine did Belshazzar dare to profane the Temple vessels. Drink had weakened his faculty of self-criticism which tells a man that certain behavior is un- gentlemanly or bad, such talk silly; which tells a girl that such conduct is unwomanly, or not becoming a nice girl.

The iden is that the puzzles be based on geography so that the devotees of the game may incidentally learn some- thing about the physical features of their own and other countries. A start might be made with the scene of the dispute between China and Japan. This particular jig-saw puzzle might include Manchoukuo, Jehol and the contiguous parts of Northern China. It might be even extended to show the geographical relationship between Japan and the neighboring portions of the Asiatic continent into which the J apnnese are making their present ex- cursion despite the protests of the Lytton Commission and the League of Nations.

Russian Duke PM THOUGHT' The kind of fertilizers to use will, ot course, depend upon what crops you are preparing to sow. For grain crops, if the soil is in fairly sweet condition and you do not have I sup- ply of barn manure, it would be well to add about two bags of 2-1245 per acre. If you have a supply of ma- nure, in addition to the manure add about two bags per ncre of 0-14-6 or 0-12-10. This fertilizer will not only help the grain crop including corn, but it will give the alfalfa or clover and timothy mixture that you sow a good stropg stat. 3"“ "e'--"- __ J. D. F.--t.

There is another matter to take into account. In 1921 Ontario formers were buying 1-8-1 fertilizer " 848.50 a ton; 2-8-2 at $59.00; 2-8-4 " 865.50. In 1932 1-8-1 and 2-8-2 are barred from sale by the Dominion Fertilizer Act. 2-8-4 is quoted " $28.80. Still another way to look " it,---n fcrmer in 1921 buying 1-8-1 " $48.50 was paying this amount of money for ten units of plant food. For one unit, then, he was paying $4.80. In 1932 he can buy a 2-16-6 fertilizer (21 units) for $38.75, or one unit for $1.62. Without multiplying iZlustra- tions, our point is that the higher analysis fertilizers that are now being sold provide the farmer wit' plant food at a great deal less cost per unit than he paid in pre~war or immedi- s'.elr post-war times. 2. Has fertilizer, in your opinion, come down in price corresponding to prices of farm crops'. Answer.-This question certainly cannot be answered in the Ufirmative if one has in mind the wheat crop, bu' for such crops as potatoes, sugar beets, tobacco. celery, onions and alfalfa, the margin between the prices of a decade ago and those that pre- vail at the present, is not so wide- spread. Fertilizers judiciously chosen can still be usci with considerable profit on the crops we have named. If one takes into account the residual effeet on the clover or alfalfa crops following wheat and barley, it is pos- sible to use fertilizers with profit egen at present prices of these cereals. 8.

Within lim- its the higher the Inalysis of fertil- izer the cheaper is the price of plant- food per unit. But rheapness of punt- food units is not the only guide, of course, that one should exercise in choosing what fertilizers he needs. For instance, it would be folly to buy o high nitrogen, low phosphste and high potash fertiliser such as tr.al for grain crops. For cereals, medium low nitrogen, high phosphate and‘ medium potash is what is needed. such I fertilizer as 2-12-6 or 2-16-6.'

Large live grubs under the skin and usually sur- rounded by pus, cannot be other than painful. A boil is painful to a hu- man and likewise a warble grub is equally painful to a cow. A dressing applied to a warbly back. of some pre- paration that will kill the ttrubs and promote quick healing is a merciful and humane act. Mixtur ' of either orris powder or Pyrethrum powder with soap and water, one half pound f each to a gallon of water, will work wonders in giving relief to animals "trerintr from warble grub infest» tion. Many things can be used, with some good effect; as salt. tobacco, sul- phur, or coal oil and pine ar. Watch closely and feel the backs of the cattle every week. The sooner the grub is treated, the less painful its presence will he to the animal. Dead (rubs shrink and are then forced up out of the grub hole. Be kind to your cattle and rid their backs of the painful warble stubs. Every grub that you kill, will help reduce the number of flies that sad the cattle during the summer.
