CUT YOUNG TREES.
Low headed apple trees are now
generally grown in commercial or¬
chards. The time to start the
trees to he low ueaded is in the early
maturity of the young trees when
transplanted to the young orchard.
It often takes courage to cut back
the top of the young fruit trees, but
it should be done when a low tree
is desired.—Farmers’ Home Journal.
* PEAS AND OATS.
' I wish to sow three or four acres
of well-rotted and manured ground
this spring with peas and oats. Can
I sow my peas and plow them under
i( plowing shallow), then narrow, sow
my oats and harrow them in and get
a good crop, or would you advise
drilling oats and peas together?—C.
L. M. [If the soil is not too heavy,
if it is a sandy loam, the peas may
be plowed under to a depth of four
inches. On clay loams it is well to
sow with grain drill, hitching up the
neck straps short and weighting the
teeth of the drill to sow deep. Ex¬
perience has shown that the oats
may be sown later, when the peas
have sprouted, sowing broadcast,
then harrowing in lightly to bury the
oats and to kill the little weeds. At
the _ experiment . A stations . .. this ... method ...
has worked well. So also has the
method of sowing both sorts of seed
together, though the peas should be
drilled in much deeper than the oats.
The peas also should be sown earlier
than the oats to give them a fair
start.—Country Gentleman.
FORSYTHIAS.
The most glorious flowering shrub
for very early spring is the forsythia,
also known as golden bell. It grows
to a height of eight and even ten
feet, and has a wonderful yellow
flame of blossoms that absolutely
hide the branches before a single leaf
appears. The branches arch over .
and make a delightful shrub that is
satisfactory all the year. It will
make its finest snow . it planted , x J
against a dark background. Give
each plant plenty of room, for the
branches will spread widely and will
finally bend'to the earth again and
root at the tips.
It ie little troubled by insects, and
needs only slight pruning. There are
several varieties. The one described
here is forsythia suspensa, and it is
by far the most satisfactory. Young
plants, from two to three years old,
and about two feet high, can be
bought for twenty-five cents each.
For a fine group, plant three or four
of these, giving each plant from four
to five feet of clear space around it.
One plant will be sufficient for a
small place, Do not set this shrub
in the middle of an open space, it
needs background. — Indianapolis
News.
NEWLY SET PLANTS.
Newly transplanted plants always
demand more or less protection from
the blighting effects of too much sun
and wind. It is best achieved by
making a shelter such as is shown in
the cut.
Two ten-foot poles and two three
foot pieces of any convenient thick¬
ness for the crosspieces, with four
fourteen-inch weatherstrips for the
legs, constitute the frame. In the
middle of it two hooks should be in¬
serted on each side, and upon these
the covering fastened, which can thus
be adjusted very quickly. The cover¬
ing may consist of burlaps or any
kind of rough sacking.
* ■ \
Frames to Protect Small Plants.
Being so simple and economical to
make, it is advisable to have enough
frames to protect the number of ten¬
der plants that are set out in a garden
at one time, says Farm and Home.
They possess other advantages than
sheltering the young things from the
direct rays of the sun. They allow
slow evaporation, and so keep newly
watered ground moist for hours,
whereas if exposed to the sun and
wind it would soon become dry and
caked. On windy days it is necessary
to let the sacking down on the wind¬
ward side of the shelter. In case of
frost the protection that they afford
ia of inestimable value.

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM¬

ples, John 20:19-81— Golden
Text, John 20:28 — Commit
Verses 19, 20—Commentary.
TIME —Evenings of Sundavs. April

House in Jerusalem.
EXPOSITION.—I. Jesus Appears
Unto the Disciples, Thomas. Being
Absent, 19-25. Jesus having ap¬
peared to individuals now appears to
the disciples collectively. It was im¬
mediately after the return of the two
from Emmaus (Luke 24:36). The
disciples were in fear of the Jews (cf.
Matt. 14:25). With a word He ban¬
ishes their fear, “Peace be unto you.”
As He said this He was standing in
their midst. When He stands in the
midst there is always peace no matter
how great the turmoil without, He
was fulfilling His promise to them
(Jno. 16:22). His coming is thv
great cure for all fear and sorrow
(Is. 25:9; 1 Thess. 4:16, 17). Shut
doors were no barriers to the entrance
of the resurrection body of Jesus.
Strangely enough the first result of
the appearance and words of Jesus
was increased fear (Luke 24:37).
The heart of sinful mail shrinks back
from the supernatural. These surely
were not the kind of men to imagine
Jesus had risen again when He really
had no*, and out of the)? fancy weave
a legend of His resurrection, Jesus
sternly rebuked their determined un
belief and hardness of heart (Mk.
16:14). Unbelief is not a misfortune
to be pitied, but a sin to be rebuked
; and repented of. To overcome their
i persistent unbelief and to convince
them beyond question that it was in
! deed His very self, in wonderful con
descension Jesus showed unto them
j His Priced nail-scarred side (cf. Luke hand and spear
i ! ^he evidences 24:38-40, 41
of a literal physi
ca resurre ction of Christ are over
I whelming. , , The disciples
convinced were at last
j and gladness takes the
place of fear. They were “glad when
they saw the Lord.” There is no
other gladness like that which comes
from a clear vision of the risen Christ.
Jesus felt It necessary to repeat His
message of comfort, their unbeliev¬
ing hearts had not taken it in. This
was a common form of salvation, but
Jesus put new meaning into it. He
not merely says “Peace be unto you,”
actually imparts peace (Jno.
| 14:27; 16:33). 16:33). Having :_____ B given B them
peace, He next gives them a commis¬
sion. First, peace in our own hearts,
th en a commission to others. The
form of the commission was thrill
ing, “as the Father hath sent Me even
so, etc.” (cf. Is. 61:1-3; Mk. 16:15).
Having given them the commission
e §n e s ern l J °werment for it (cf.
T Luke 1 24:49; „ . Acts 1:4, 5; 8:10, 38).
The disciples did not actually receive
the Holy Spirit in His fulness at this
time (Acts 1:5; 2:4; Jno. 7:39; Acts
2:33; Jno. 16:7). Jesus breathing
i upon tnem was a symbolical and pro
Phetical act. By breathing upon them
^us assuming to be the One
; whose breath is the
Jesus divine Spirit,
claimed most unmistakably to
be divine (cf. Gen. 2-7- Job 33-4
j Ps. ceiving 33:6; the Ro. Holy 8:9). By reason of re
j receive Spirit they were to
a power of spiritual discern
; ment whereby they would know when
i me and ? so whosoever tj'uly repented sins and they believed,
would be forgiven forgave
and whosoever
sms they retained would be re
tained. It was not by virtue of
anj office that was to descend
upon a line of successors, but by
virtue of receiving the Holy Spirit
that they were to be able to forgive
sins (cf. on this power and its exer¬
cise Acts 13:9, 10; 8:20-23; 1 Cor.
5:4, 5; 2 Cor. 2:6-10). Thomas, full
of doubt and self will, was not with
the brethren and so missed meeting
his risen Lord. The other disciples
hastened to tell Thomas of the bless¬
ing they had received. “We have
seen the Lord,” was their exultant
cry. If we have seen the Lord we,
too, have a duty of testimony. By
this time Thomas should have been
convinced, but he wasn’t. Thomas
, had for
many reasons believing (Matt.
but 16:21; Thomas Jno. 20:18; wouldn’t Luke believe 24:13-33)]
he had unless
a certain kind of proof which
in his self-will he presumed to dic¬
tate. Thomas has many followers on
his bad side. Thomas had no ground
for disbelieving but his own notions.
Many to-day are willing to set up
their own notions against the testi¬
mony of prophets, apostles, Jesus
Christ Himself, and the whole Word
of God. Conceit and seif-will lie at
the bottom of it all (Ps. 78'2i 22
31, 32; 106, 23, 24) Thomas’ wil¬
fulness comes out in his words, “I
will not believe.”
II. Jesus Appears Unto Thomas,
20-29. Thomas had a whole week of
unbelief and darkness and misery.
Jesus had bidden the disciples go into
Galilee (Matt. 28:10), but they have
seemed to have waited a week rather
than leave Thomas behind, Their
testimony had, after all, made some
impression upon Thomas, for on the
next Lord’s day he took pains to be
with them. There was on his part
some readiness to believe. Jesus
came with the same message of
“peace.” The wonderful grace and
Pity and long suffering of Jesus ap¬
pear in His words to Thomas and His
whole treatment of him. Thomas
fully convinced at last, and cries to
Jesus with one of the most remark¬
able ascriptions of deity to be found
iu.the Bible, “My Lord and my God.”

CAMPAIGN CIGARS.
Public Opinion Wrong About Their
Quality, a Manufacturer Thinks.
“I see that a member of the Ohio
Legislature is trying again this year to
have the bill passed he introduced
two years ago to prohibit the giving
of tobacco in any form for campaign
purposes,” said a Pearl street cigar
manufacturer. “It is clear enough
that this is a direct slap at the cam¬
paign cigar, but even if the hill went
through in Ohio and in every oiner
State in the Union, the cigar-makers
wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.
“It is a peculiar fact that although
it is well known that in every cam
paign, whether it is for the election
of a school trustee or.a president, a
great quantity of cigars are distribut¬
ed by the candidates, the manufac¬
turers never observe an increase in
their business. On the contrary a
presidential election invariably has
a bad effect on business.
“One of the mysteries of the trade
Is why so much odium should be at¬
tached to what is popularly called
the ‘campaign cigar.’ I have never
heard that manufacturers turned out
peculiarly evil brands of cigars in
presidential years.
“Isn’t it possible that these are the
ordinary five cent cigars of commerce
which are having their reputation
dragged in the dirt by professional
jokesmitbs? Anyway, why do can¬
didates hand out campaign cigars?
Nobody ever beard that one cigar or
even a whole box of them ever chang¬
ed a voter’s attitude toward an office
seeker.”—New York Sun.
