T I.—Paul's Visit to Greece and Ml
letus (20:1-16).
Two Incidents marked this trip:
1. The Jews laid wait for him (vv.
1-5). This plot obliged him to retrace
his steps through Macedonia instead
of choosing a more rapid sea voyage.
2. Pellowshiping with the disciples
‘at Troas (vv. 6-16). He met with them
around the table of the Lord and
‘ spoke words of encouragement, While
’preachlng here, Eutychus in a deep
sleep, fell from a window and was
killed. Paul restored his life, thus
giving to the disciples a sign of divine
power which was greatly needed at
that time,
. 11. Paul's Farewell to the Ephesian
Elders (20: 17-38).
1. Review of his three years’ min
fstry (vv. 18-21). (1) The spirit of
“his ministry (v. 19). He was humble,
tender and faithful in spite of the
many trials which befell him. (2) The
faithfulness of his ministry (vv. 20-21).
He made known unto them everything
which was of profit, taught them both 1
in public and in private. He neglected
no class, Jews or Greeks. He was im- |
partial in all his ministry. (3) The
theme of his ministry (v. 21). Repent
ance and faith. Men and women need
to repent of their sins and believe on |
the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. The present state of things (vv.
22.27). Having reviewed his ministry,
he now points out clearly, (1) His im
mediate purpose was to go to Jeru
salem (v. 22). (2) Bonds and afflic
tions were lying across his path (v. 23 |
Despite these he went forward with
undaunted courage, knowing that God
‘was leading him. (3) His fixed pur
pose (v. 24). He was determined to
,&:u his ministry at whatever
g —even giving up his life. (4) His
consciousness of obligation discharged
(vv. 25-27). Knowing that they should
see his face no more, he called them
to record that he had not shunned to
declare the whole counsel of God,
therefore was free from the blood of
all men.
3. His charge to the elders '(vv.
28-35). (1) The ground of (v. 28).
The flock for which they must care
was purchased by the preclous blood
of Jesus and they had received their
commission from the Lord. (2) The
impending evils (vv. 29, 30). False
teachers would arise from their own
number, Grievious wolves would de
vour the flock. The most deadly foes
of the church are those ministers and
Sunday-school teachers who are un
faithful to their trust. (3) Incentives
to faithfulness (vv. 31-35). His own
example of watching night and day for
three years is held up before them.
111. Paul Tarrying Seven Days at
Tyre (21:1-6).
His destination was Jerusalem. He
was pressing thitherward with all
speed, but on account of the unload
ing of the ship he was obliged to
wait at Tyre for seven days. During
this delay he searched out the disciples
who lived in that city. While here cer-
| taln disciples said Paul should not go to
| Jerusalem, The information which these
disciples received by the Spirit was
doubtless the same as that given to
Agabus (vv. 10, 11). Agabus told ex
actly what the Spirit said, which sets
right what the Tyrian disciples seemed
to say. We should give heed to proph
esying, but should prove their utter
ances. Let all who claim to speak with
the Holy Spirit give the exact words
so that they can be subjected to
legitimate' tests, The same Spirit
| which showed to these disciples that
| guffering awaited Paul, revealed unto
| him the same suffering ang sent him
| forward into it.
IV. Paul Tarrying In Philip's House
| (“o 7'l‘)-
Resuming their journey they paused
briefly at Ptolemals to greet the
brethren there, after which they went
| to Cnesarea. Here they took up thelr
' abode with Phillp who had so success
fully wrought in the early days of the
| church. His four daughters doubtless
| are mentioned to show that the Spirit's
| gifts are not confined to one sex.
| 7 W, Paul at Jerusalem (vv, 15:17),
The brethren at Jerusalen. gladly re
| gelved bim and his companions. Paul's
| lodging place wan with an old disciple.
Little Things
Little foxes that spoll the vineyards:
Little compromises with the wurld;
disobedience to the still small volce

the flesh to the neglect of duty; little
strokes of policy; dolng evil in little
things that good may come; and the
beauty, and the fruitfulness of the
vine are sacrificed.—J. Hudson Taylor,

Farm Inventory
Should Be Made
i
Best Time Usually Is First
of Year; How to Set Val
ues and Depreciation.
The best time to take a farm in
ventory is when there is the least to
figure. For general crop and stock
farms, this is usuaily some time be
tween January 1 and the time when
spring work begins, says the State
College of Agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y.
Probably the best time to take an in
ventory on a poultry farm is just
after the pullets are put into winter
quarters, Farmers fortunate enough
to have worry about income taxes
should take their inventories on Jan
uary 1. There is no set date for tak
ing an inventory; any convenient time
will do. It should, of course, be tak
en on approximately the same date
each year.
Estimating Values.
In placing values on stock and ma
chinery, a good general guide is to
estimate the price the animal or ma
chine would bring providing the own
er had a reasonable length of time
to dispose of it. This figure will usu
ally be about the price one would
have to pay for .something just as
good at a well-attended farm auction.
There is no set rule for figuring
depreciation on machinery. It should
be remembered that depreciation is
much higher on new inventions than
on standard pieces of farm equip
ment, Tractors and harvesters usu
ally depreciate faster than wagons
and plows. The rate of depreciation
on a miscellaneous lot of farm ma
chinery, some old and some new, usu
ally averages about 10 per cent of its
inventoried value of the previous
vear., However, because the deprecia
tion varies on all farmg, a good rule
to follow is to value machinery at
about the price it would bring at a
well-attended farm auction.
Three Things Needed.
. While there are only three things
necessary for taking a farm inventory
—paper, pencil and the inclination—
a fourth one will help. This is a copy
of the Cornell inventory record book
called “How to Take a larm Inven
tory and Make a Credit Statement.”
This book contains simple but com
plete directions for taking an inven
tory and for making out a credit
statement, together with space for re
cording two years’ inventories, Any
farmer who wishes to take an inven
tory can get a free copy of this book
let by writing to the college of agri
culture at Ithaca, N. Y.
Large Asparagus Plants
Not Easy to Transplant
Asparagus plants of much size are
not easily transplanted, as they make
a vast amount of roots, and in getting
| them up one is likely to mutilate the
- roots so badly that the plants will be
set back quite severely. Either fall or
spring is the suitable time to do this
work. There is some advantage in fall
setting, as the ground is usually in
fairly good cendition then, while in
early spring, it may be wet and soggy
until quite late. It is more profitable
to make & new bed of one-year aspara
gus plants than to attempt transplant
ing old ones, and in setting plants,
none but the streng appearing, thrifty
ones should be used.
Rhubarb clumps may be divided and
reset in fali or spring. Use plenty of
| manure or fertilizer, though not in
contact with the roots, with both rhu
| barb and asparagus.

Kind of Farming Is
Determining Point
Farmer Must Adopt Type of
Work Which Pays.
«gome farmers do not make money
because they do not carry on the
right kind of business on their farms.
One of the first things a farmer must
do if he expects to make a fair labor
income is to determine what type of
farming pays best in his locality,”
says the rural economics department
of the Ohio State university in an an
alysis of the accounts of a group of
farms in counties lying along the Ohio
river in southwestern Ohio.
In comparing the five farms with the
highest labor incomes in the group,
with the farms having the three low
labor incomes, it appears that the best
paid farmers were depending mora
heavily upon live stock for their profits,
than were the low three. The high,
five derived 84 per cent of their cash
income from live stock, while the low
group obtained only 74 per cent of
their receipts from this source.
The high five had 6.6 more .milk
cows to the average farm, 1.1 fewer
brood sows, and 43 more hens, than
the low-return group. The net in
crease in live stock on the high five
farms was almost two and one-half
times as great as on the low income
farms.
For every dollar’s worth of feed fed
to the live stock on the high five farms
there was returned $1.47, while for a
dollar’'s worth of feed the low three
farmers obtained a return of only
$1.05.
Only Alfalfa Seed Now
Verified by Government
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Changes in the seed origin-verifica.
tion service of the bureau of agriculs
tural economics which limit the serv.
ice to alfalfa seed but which also ex
tend the service so as to cover pracs
tically all commercially handled alfal.
fa ,seed have heen announced by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture.
Practically all large alfalfa seed
handlers have voluntarily enrolled
with the bureau as verified-origin al
falfa seed dealers. Last year 17,000,
000 pounds of alfalfa seed were veris
fied as to origin. During that period
only a part of the alfalfa seed han
dled commercially was covered by the
service. It is expected that Uniled
States verified-origin seed certificates
will be attached to more than 40,000,-
000 pounds of alfalfa seed ‘this year.
The first year’s operation of the
service, according to the bureau’s seed
warketing specialists, has demon«
strated fully the effectiveness of tha
supervision by federal agencies in give
ing adequate protection to the ces
tificates issued, so that now most
dealers and buyers of seed recognize
the reliability of the service and its
value to both producers and con
sumers of seed.
Find Honey Crop Aided
by Winter Preparation
Many beekeepers find that winter {3
the proper time to pave the way for a
good crop of honey, reports Ray Hut
son, bee specialist at the New Jersey
experiment station. These men make
a practice of assembling all equip
ment during the winter season so that
when spring comés most of the time
can be devoted to beekeeping.
Extra hive covers, bottom boards
and bodies are nailed together, painie
ed, and stored during the cold months,
Frames are put together at that tima
so that they will be convenient the
following summer.
The specialist states that there is
no assembling job which is not best
done during the winter except putting
in the foundation. Low temperatures,
he points out, make wax brittle and
therefore this one operation can best
be deferred. He continues:
“Section honey to be of best market
quality should have little propelis
about it. A step in the right direc
tion is to scrape the inside of the
comb honey super and its fixtures dur-
Ing the winter, In some sections of
the state bees place considerable pro
polis on the tin rabbets of bodies used
4s extracting supers. This also is best
removed during the winter,”
Potash Fertilizers
The value of potash fertilizers on ab
kall soils was conclusively demons
strated last season on the Joe Herron
farm in Howard county, Ind., the Pur
due News Service states. He broad
cast 200 pounds of 0-8-25 fertilizer
per acre on alkall soil where he had
been unable to get crop of eorn, In
addition to the 0825 fertilizer, 73
rounds of 2-12-8 were sown In the row
on all the field. The alkall soll recely
ing the 0-8-23, in addition to the 212.8
preduced 88 per cent more corn than
the check plot recelying only the
2128, '

Quality of Milk
Admittedly the quality of milk can
not be modified by making varintions
In the proportion of carbohydrate to
protein, Notwithstanding the best
grade of milk Is produced from ecows
which are in good healshy condition
resulting from the use of a well-pro
portioned grain mixture, Siluge cannot
be excelled as u source of succulence,
and shredded fodder supplemented
with clover or alfalfa hay is clearly
the best roughage; the clover hay to
supply th: ash and proteln, the eut
fodder to supply bulk.
