PRIMARY TOPIC-The Kind Deeds of Jesus. JUNIOR TOPlC—Friends and Enemies of Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Choosing Jesus as Our Teacher. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC The Response of Men to the Ministry of Jesus. Tlie teacher should keep in mind the progress of thought in Matthew and present these lessons accordingly. In chapters 5 to 7 we have the laws of tlie kingdom; chapters 8 and 9, the mighty works to demonstrate the King’s ability to administer the affairs of the kingdom; chapter 10, the prop agation of the kingdom through the sending forth of tlie twelve; chapters 11 and 12, how the kingdom was re ceived. I. Four Classes of Hearers (ch. 11). 1. Perplexed hearers like John the Baptist (11:2-11). John believed that Jesus was the Christ (v. 2), but was somewhat perplexed as to the manner of tlie establishment of the kingdom. In the Old Testament predictions there were two lines in the Messianic prophecies; the one set fortli Christ as the suffering one, as in Isaiah 53, and the other, as the invincible Con queror, as in Isaiah 63. Indeed, in Isaiah 60:1, 2 we have the two ad vents in one view (see Matt. 3:10-12). He said that the ax is laid unto the root of the trees and that there was to be a separation of the chaff from the wheat and a burning of the chaff, but now the King was occupied mere ly with the opening of the eyes of the blind, etc. John saw Christ as the ,one who would remove the sins of the people by the shedding of his blood (John 1:29), but he failed to see the interval between the time of his suffer ings and the time of his triumph. Since this interval between the first and second comings—the nature of the age in which we live—was not known until Christ revealed it in tlie parables of tlie thirteenth chapter, we do not wonder at John’s perplexity. John’s faith was not failing him, neither did he send this deputation to Jesus for the sake of his disciples. He was a true prophet and a faithful man, but he was perplexed. 2. Violent hearers (11:12-19). These were willing to receive the kingdom according to their own way, but were unwilling to conform to its laws. Their ears were closed to everything but their own carnality. They would not repent when called upon to repent by John, nor rejoice when called upon by Christ to rejoice (vv. 17-19). 3. The stout-hearted unbelievers (11:20-24). In Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, Christ had done most of his mighty works, but the people deliberately set their hearts against him and his message. It was not for lack of knowledge and opportunity that they were unsaved, but for their purposeful rejection of Christ. Tyre and Sidon, Sodom and Gomorrah were filled with immoral profligates and idolaters, but they will be more tol erably dealt with in the day of judg ment than those who wilfully reject Christ. 4. Hearers who are babes in spirit (11:25-30). There were some among those who heard Jesus with childlike faith, who believed that Christ was the Messiah, and they opened their hearts to receive him. Christ invites those who have the babe-iike spirit to come to him, and to all who come to him and receive him lie gives rest. 11. The Antagonism of the Kingdom. (ch. 12). In chapter 11 we saw the shameful indifference of the Jews to their King. In this chapter we see positive and bitter antagonism manifesting itself against him. They are not only with out a heart for him, but do their best to destroy him. The immediate oc casion of their wicked determination was Christ’s relation to the Sabbath. Because tlie hungry disciples plucked corn and Jesus healed the withered hand on the Sabbath day, they sought to destroy him. They accused him of being in league with the Devil. Jesus with unanswerable logic showed them that they had blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, and were therefore guilty of an unpardonable sin. They did not deny the miracle but sought to account for it without owning him as the Mes siah. What Tenderness Is. Tenderness is the extreme suscepti bility of the softer emotions and pas sions. It implies the refinement o! pity, the sensitive delicacy of love, the culture of sympathy, and the most complete embodiment of a fervent, deep-seated, and impulsive gentleness. —A. M. A. W. Apply Discipline. Restrain all the senses under the severity of discipline, and give not thyself over to foolish mirth. —Thom fU g Kenihia. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR. MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. CHICKEN FLOCK DOES BEST WHEN COMFORTABLY HOUSED IN WINTER Good interior arrangement for poultry house showing roosts and dropping boards with nests beneath, and a wire coop at end for confining broody hens. Note ventilators in back of house, and the abundance of sunlight which insures a bright house and healthy fowls. Comfortably housed hens have bet ter health, are more vigorous and lay more eggs than those which must live in incommodious quarters, say poultry specialists of the United Slates' De partment of Agriculture. Comfort in the poultry house is not necessarily synonymous with expense, hut thought and care must be given to the quarters which the birds occupy, or tlie flock will not “pay for its keep.” Poultry House Requisites. Poultry houses or other buildings where fowls are kept should be dry, well ventilated, free from drafts, with plenty of sunshine and room enough to allow the birds to move about with freedom and comfort. These are nec essary features, in fact much more im portant than the kind or style of build ing used, if the fowls are to be kept healthy, vigorous and productive. IT a new house is to be built, it should be located, if possible, on high or sloping grouriH and always on dry and well-drained soil. Wet or damp ground means a damp house, and a damp house not only means n cold one but invites sickness and diseases. Never build a house in n hollow, as water and cold air settle In low places and should lie avoided. Have tlie house face the south, as it gives more sun light for a longer part of the day, es pecially in winter when sunlight is nec essary for the comfort of tlie birds. It also makes the house warmer, dryer and more cheerful and adds to the pro ductiveness of the flock. The poultry house should he conveni ent, substantial and inexpensive. Its size or dimensions depend largely upon where you live and the number of fowls you wish to keep. On a farm or where the birds can lie out of doors nearly every day in the year, about two and one-half square feet of floor space per bird in flocks of 20 is enough, but in a village or city or in a climate where there is a good deal of snow, making it necessary to confine the birds closely, four or five square feet per bird should be allowed. A very satisfactory house for a FALL IS BEST TIME TO START CHICKENS Obtain Pullets Rather Than Old er Fowls. Evidence of Maturity of Fowls Are Development and Red Color of Comb—Buy of a Well-Known Farmer or Poultryman. Autumn is the best time for the city poultry keeper to purchase ills stock. An effort should be made to obtain pullets rather than older hens, and the pullets selected should be well matured, so that they will begin to lay before cold weather sets in. Evidences of the maturity of pullets are the devel opment and red color of the comb and a size and growth which are good for the breed or variety. Yearlings or older hens will lay few or no eggs during the fall and early winter, while they are molting. Well-matured pul lets, however, should lay fairly well during this period, so that an imme diate return Is realized from the In vestment. The purchasing of pullets in the fall is preferable in some cases to pur chasing day-old chicks or to hatching chicks in the spring. Usually little space is available In a back yard for the raising of chicks; and, moreover, many city dwellers have had no ex perience in raising them. Under these conditions the results are likely to be very poor. Ilat/'hing and raising chicks also necessitates broody bens, or else investing money iri Incubators and brooders. Such an investment is often too great to prove profitable with the average flock. If chicks are raised, they must be fed throughout tlie summer, and no return will he ob tained until the pullets begin to lay in the fall, except that the males can be eaten or sold. When pullets are to be purchased, the poultry experts of the United States Department of Agriculture ad vise going, when possible, to some farmer or pouitrj-man who may be known to the prospective purchaser. In some cases it may pay to make ar rangements with the farmer to raise small flock is 10 feet long, 7 feet wide, 6 feet 2 inches high in front and 4 feet high in back. It will accommodate any number ot' birds up to 25. The follow ing lumber is required for its construc tion : , Feet Description of Material. b.m. 2 pieces 4 by 6. 12 feet lon*, for sills... 48 3 pieces 2by 4, 14 feet long, for Joists.. 28 3 pieces 2 by 4, 16 feet long, for raft ers 32 13 pieces 2 by 4, 12 feet long, for studs and braces 104 340 square feet %-inch matched floor ing for floors and sides 340 100 square feet 1-Inch sheathing for the roof | 100 Also one roll of rooflng paper, two win dows, wire for windows, hinges and nails. Common boards one inch thick may be used Instead of matched flooring for Inclosing the house, hut In that case battens should be placed over the cracks. Boards as wide as possible should be used, as the wider the boards the smaller tlie number of bat tens required. The use of battens is somewhat cheaper and just ns satis factory, although the house is not quite so attractive. Have Open Front. In a climate where Ihe winters are not exceptionally cold it is preferable to cut one large opening in the front of tlie house Instead of two windows and tlie opening between them, and to cover it with wire netting instead of putting in sash‘and glass. When this Is to lie done, cut the opening length wise of tlie building 7 feet long, 2!£ feet wide and 6 inches from the roof. •Such nil opening provides an abun dance of ventilation, fresh air and sun shine, which nre very necessary. If It is too cold, a burlap curtain may he made to put down ‘over the opening at night and on extremely cold days. A hen will stand a good deal of cold air, however, provided tlie air is dry, and plenty of ventilation helps to keep tlie air dry In tlie house. Tlie house may he I>ullt on runners so it can be moved to fresh ground oc casionally, but if desired it may be put on a permanent foundation and the runners left off. the desired number of pullets at nn agreed price. Where the householder does not have an opportunity to go into tlie country for Ills pullets, lie can often pick them out among the live poultry shipped into the city to he marketed. The advice of some one who knows poultry should be sought in making such a iiurchn.se, to make sure that pullets or young hens are obtained, and that the stock is healthy. Often the local poultry associations are glad to help the prospective poultry keeper to get stock by putting him In com munication with some of its members having stock for sale. Sometimes the local board of trade or chamber of commerce is glad to bring together the prospective purchaser and the poultry raiser. TREND OF PRICES IS LOWER Level for Principal Crops Decreased About 10.6 Per Cent During Month of August. The level of prices paid producers of the United States for the principal crops decreased about 10.6 per cent during August; in the past ten years the price level decreased about 1.2 per cent during August. On September 1 the index figure of prices was about 7.2 per cent lower than a year ago, 0.5 per cent higher than two years ago and 56.9 per cent higher than the average of the past ten years on September 1. The prices of meat animals —hogs, cattle, sheep and chickens—to pro ducers of the United States decreased 2.3 per cent from July 1.5 to August 15; In the past ten years prices in creased in like period 1.4 per cent. On August. 15 tlie index figure of prices for these meat animals was about 22.1 per cent lower than a year ago, 14.8 per cent lower than two years ago, and 34.1 per cent higher than the average of the past ten years on August 15.

A chance to compare grout and asphalt fillers for both brick and stone block is furnished by this investi gation. Likewise the relative wear ing qualities of concrete when mixed with various kinds of coarse aggre gates is indicated. The investigation of suhgrade ma terials, startl'd a few months ago with the co-operation of the district en gineers and state engineers, is pro ceeding at a very satisfactory rate. A number of samples have been re ceived from various parts of the coun try and laboratory analyses of many •of these samples are partially com pleted. The methods being used by the division of tests will shortly be published as a paper so that any other laboratories wishing to conduct similar investigations may have some guide as to, the method of procedure being followed by the bureau of pub lie roads. r Plie samples analyzed have been taken from parts of the roads that have failed very badly as well as from adjacent parts of the same roads that have withstood heavy traffic success fully. It is hoped tlint by a compari son of the laboratory results on these samples with the reported behavior of the road in service differences in the suhgrade materials will become ap parent so that we will be able to say what physical characteristics soils must possess to give them high bear ing value. BENEFITS FROM ROAD DRAGS Projections Are Scraped Off Roadway and Low Places Filled In, Thus Turning Water. Th(> graded road can be kept In the best condition with the least labor by using the road drag. The road drag scrapes off the projections and fills up the low places, thus leaving no places, for water to stand, which is what causes the road bed to soften and be cut Into ruts. A persistent use of the road drag will keep the road bed well crowned, smooth and hard, and this will also result in the least dust, as the dust comes large ly from tlie grinding up of tbe ruts and rough places left by the horses' feet. — Extension Division, North Dakota Ag ricultural College. PROPER LOCATION FOR ROAD Among Other Things Consider Easy Grades, Good Drainage and Elimi nation of Culverts. Some of the things to he considered in locating a road are easy grades, good drainage, exposure to sunshine, elimination of culverts and bridges by avoiding unnecessary creek crossings, directness and the number of farms to be served for a given length of road. Whenever possible to avoid It, a good locution should not be rejected merely because a certain roadway has been in use for some time. If the location of a used road Is bad it should be changed If possible. In relocating roads avoid railroad crossings at grade. Increase in Kansas Roads. There will be a great Increase In the number of hard surfaced roads in Kansas in tbe next three years. Roads Must Be Rebuilt. Tlie roads of a few years ago, that were thought to be sufficient to meet tlie traffic requirements, today with our modern system of transportation are giving away and must be rebuilt.
