Makes Hard Work Harder
A bad back makes a day’s work twice
as hard. Backache usually comes from
weak kidneys, and if headaches, dizzi
ness or urinary disorders are added,
don’t wait—get help before the kidney
disease takes a grip—before dropsy,
gravel or Bright’s disease sets in.

HOW JESUS THE KING WAS RE
CEIVED.

GOLDEN TEXT—Come unto me all ye
that labor and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest.—Matt. 11:28.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Luke 7:18-
35; 10:13-15, 21, 22; 11:14-26, 29, 32.

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

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.

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.

vantage. 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.
Doctor Has Better Chance.
Tlie doctor lias a better chance to
save lives if good roads shorten the
distance from office to farm.
First Use of Asphalt.
Asphalt was first used in Paris as a
road material 50 years ago.
