A Few Ways of
Protecting Stock
From Stable Flies
The importance of taking steps to
prevent the breeding of stable flies
rather than depending on protection
of the stock, when the flies are full
grown, cannot be emphasized too
much. However, where this is not
done the farmer is forced to resort
to various means of warding off the
Hies.
Work animals may be protected
largely from the pest by means of
coverings. One type of cover'ng
which has been found to be very ef
fective and inexpensive consists of
a blanket made of double thickness
of burlap, so arranged as to cover
completely the back, sides, and neck
of the animal. The legs also are
■covered sometimes by means of old
trousers slipped over the feet and
tied over the back. Leather nets or
strips of leather attached to the
bridle also aid in keeping the flies
from the head. The ordinary fly net
has been found to fie of little value,
as it only tends to displace the flies
I temporarily and cause them to settle
I in places not covered by the net.
Completely darkened stables offer
much protection from the flies, al
; though the resulting lack of ventila
| tion is objectionable. The thorough
screening of all windows and doors
is much more desirable. When
screened barns are used, care should
be taken to brush the flies from the
animals, when they are about to en
ter, by means of nets over the door
way or with sacks. Little can be
done to protect range stock from the
flies.
On hog farms a freshly plowed
trench offers considerable protection
to the swine. The sides of these
trenches may be smeared with pe
troleum, which rubs off on the ani
mals and acts as a repellent. The
trench may be used also for pro
tecting sheep, but the petroleum in
their case is unnecessary.

Farmers Need Accurate
Data on Market Conditions
Traveling by faith rather than by
sight has sometimes been recom
mended as wise policy, but produce
growers used to find it frequently
and mightily disastrous when they
followed it perforce, before the estab
lishment of the crop and market re
porting service of the United States
department of agriculture. Os course,
a few of them are still following the
faith system of growing and market
ing because they have not seen fit
to use the eyes furnished them by
te government reporting service,-
and these are still planting, gathering,
and marketing at random. But the
majority are looking around and
ahead, seeing what other sections are
doing, finding where any shortage or
surplus is likely to be produced, as
certaining special advantages or dis
advantages in consuming centers,
and generally getting a forecast of
the market from crop ana other con
ditions, the country over. Thus the
more farsighted southern potato grow
ers take into account the volume and
probable movement of the northern
crop and the amount of the old crop
I likelv to be left over until spring.
Even the northern growers may put
in a late acreage and top-dress the
crop if the general situation suggests
a shortage caused by a reduced
acreage or by a hard spring frost in
parts of the northern territory.
Small Hen Houses Best;
Low Ones Easily Warmed
The size of the hen house should
be governed by the size of the
flock. From 40 to 50 seems to tie
about as many birds as are safe
to keep together. With flocks of
this size from 4 to 5 square feet
of floor space should be allowed to
each bird. This will suffice i,n most
cases where careful attention is giv
en to cleanliness and ventilation. If
the fowls are kept in smaller flocks
more floor space to a bird will be
needed.
In sections where the climate is
so mild that it is unnecessary to
keep fowls confined, except for a
few days at a time, less space to
a bird should be sufficient. The
smaller breeds, being more active
and restless, require about as much
room as the larger breeds.
For the greatest amount of floor
space .for the least cost a building
should be square. Other things being
equal, the nearer square a house is
the less lumber it will take, ac
cording to poultry specialists of the
United States Department of Agri
culture. However, it is sometimes
out of the question to build a large
house square. A building should not
be so wide that the sun can not
reach the back of the house, other
wise it will be damp. Fourteen feet
is a convenient width. Build the
house as low as possible without
danger of attendants bumping their
heads against the ceiling, for the
low house is more easily warmed
than a high one.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Here I come again for a little ad
vice. Is it all right for a girl, age
15, to accept a birthday present from
a boy, aged 21, when she hasn’t been
with him but a few times; such as
jewelry? What must a girl say when
a young man tells her that he is glad
to see her? Should a girl, when she
is going to the show, have on her
hat and cloak if it is time to go when
he arrives? Should a sister stay in
the room when her sister ha*, com
pany if she wants her to? What
grade should a fifteen-year-old girl
be in? lam in the seventh. Do you
think it is nice to take dancing les
sons from a man? I am crazy to
teach music when I have finished in
school. Do you think it is a good
job? I am crazy about music. Can
you give any information where I
can get, “I Am Sorry I Made You
Cry?” I want it real bad. Thanking
you for advice. Lovingly,
-JACK.”
Circumstances alter cases. If
the young man has any serious
intentions, or on the contrary,
if he just looks upon you as a
nice little girl friend and wants
to remember your birthday with
a little piece of jewelry, it is
all right. A clear understand
ing is the main thing about
presents when they are given.
There is nothing special to say
when a young man says he is
glad to see you, just say “thank
you, I am pleased that you are,”
or any little polite remark not
too gushing. Yes, you may have
on your hat when the young man
calls to take you to the show.
It seems to be customary these
days. Yes, if you wish, your
sister to stay in the room with
you when you have a caller, it
is all right for a little while.
She shouldn’t monopolize the
whole evening, the young man
came to see you and not her. He
may not like the intrusion. So
good manners will forbid her
tarrying too long with you and
he. It is rather hard for me to
say what grade a fifteen-year
old girl should be in at school,
but the average girl should grad
uate at the age of sixteen. It
is perfectly proper to take danc
ing lessons from a man teacher.
Music is a very good vocation
to take up, but it does not pay
so well unless one is exception
ally capable to teach it. I do
not blame you for being crazy
about music. You can get the
song by writing to “Remmick
Publishing C 0.,. New York,” and
any other song you wish, old or
new.
I am a lonely Florida orphan com
ing to you for advice, as I have no
mother or father. I have only one
brother and he is younger tan my
self. We make our own living.
I have light hair, grey eyes, fair
complexion and 5 feet 5 1-2 Inches
tall, weigh about 140 pounds, am 16
years of age, will be 17 in Jply.
I have been going with a young
man 22 years of age. about one year.
He seems to be a right nice boy and
has never mistreated me and always
acts nicely when he is with me. He
says he loves me, and will never
marry any one if he can’t get me, and
I know I love him, but I don’t know
any of his family as he came from
Georgia. But everybody say his fam
ily are nice folks ana say they have
a good recommendation. He has
Uniform Grades for Farm
Products Aids Marketing
The work of the American Cotton
association in developing economic re
forms in the handling and market
ing of cotton by the farmers is be
ginning to bear substantial fruit,
especially in the second largest cot
ton producing state. I wish to pre
sent herewith some of the practical
plans which will go into active opera
tion in Georgia when the crop of
1920 is ready for market:
Federal Co-Operation
The United States department of
agriculture, under authority of con
gress, now has the right to gather
each week and publish as a bulletin
a daily spot market for cotton at
interior local concentrating points.
It also has the authority to send its
agents into the offices of the cotton
merchants and ascertain from their
books and invoices the prices they
are receiving for the various grades
of cotton they are shipping to mill
consuming centers in this country
and for export. Failure on the part
of the cotton merchants to com
ply with this demand subjects them
to heavy federal fines.
This work is under the direct ad
ministration of the federal bureau
of markets, which has recently open
ed an office in Atlanta, where its
agents will look after the cotton ter
ritory in this section of the belt.
If the local prices paid to farmers
for all grades can be ascertained at
different points promptly, and the
selling price of such grades secured
from the cotton merchants, it will
not. be a difficult matter to ascertain
whether the Georgia farmers are re
ceiving the full market value for
their cotton.
The State Bureau of Markets
Acting in thorough harmony with
the federal bureau of markets and
the economic measures of the asso
ciation, the director of the Georgia
bureau of markets is developing a
new system to aid the farmers in this
state. The director of the bureau,
L. B. Jackson, has already opened
up in Atlanta a special cotton de
partment, with offices and sample
rooms in charge' of first-class grad
ers and staplers of cotton. No cot
ton samples will be handled and
graded except those which come in
from a bonded warehouse. When a
bale of cotton is delievered at any
interior local bonded warehouse in
Georgia, the manager in charge
weighs the bale and draws from each
side of the bale four ounces of cot
ton to make the sample,. which is
placed in a government franked en
velope, together with the weight and
number of the bale and name of the
owner. This self-addressed franked
envelope is dropped In the mail, and
comes at once to the cotton depart
ment of the state bureau of mar
kets. The sample is then graded and
stapled by experts In the employ of
the state, and a complete record made
of the matter.
A certificate is issued by the bu
reau officials incorporating the,
weight of the bale, its grade, staple
Lack of Sugar Is No Excuse
For Failure to Can Early
Fruits can be successfully canned
without sugar, and vegetables re
quire none. So, the wise housekeeper
is planning to can as much or more
than usual this year. Plenty of can
ned vegetables reduce grocery and
doctor’s bills and add pleasing vari
ety to the diet in winter. Fruit can
ned without sweetening can be sweet
ened when it is used. Fruit juices,
too, can be canned without sugar.
Indeed, many people prefer to can
them unsweetened, maintaining that
the individual flavors are thereby
best preserved. Part of the canned
juices can be made into jelly next
winter. Making jelly when the weath
er is cool rather than when the mer
cury lingers in the 90’s appeals to
many housewives as a sane and sen
sible procedure.
Getting Ready
If one waits until the fruit is half
ripe before making any preparation
to take care of it, there is loss of
time, and the season of that particu
lar product is likely to pass before
all the equipment for canning is in
readiness.
One of the first steps is to order
a canner, if you are planning to use
one this summer. A wash boiler or
lard can with a false bottom will
hold the cans and process them effi
ciently.* The work, however, can be
done more easily with one of the
commercial types of canners. As the
stock is usually low when the can
ning season is under way, it is well
to select the kind you want in ad
vance when therd 1 is a choice. The
steam-pressure type is usually pre
ferred for general canning, but the
asked me to marry him, and on ac
count of my not knowing his family
I told him I would tell him later. He
said he would wait a while for me, if
I would marrv him then. Would you
advise me to wait until I have the
opportunity of meeting his folks, or
wait until I get older or what to do?
As I am an orphan will you please
give me your best advice in the next
issue of The' Tri-Weekly? Your ad
vice will be appreciated.
From an Orphan Girl.
Y’ou write very sensibly about
your love affair, and I think you
are right to want to know the
sort of man you are marrying.
And it will not hurt to find out
something about him. Perhaps
you may be able to correspond
with some member of his family
through him, and get invited to
see them. If you can, a visit will
let you see who they are. But
on the other hand, you are not
marrying the iamily, and if the
young man is a steadfast, honest
and gentlemanl- he may make
you the best sort of a husband.
I am coming to you for some ad
vice. I am a boy aged seventeen, and
I am deeply in trouble. I am going
with a girl aged seventeen, and I
love her dearly, and she says she
loves me best of all, but when we are
in company she seems to t hink more
of the other boys than she does of
me. How often should I go to see
her. and should I stay till after
night? Would it be any harm to
marry a girl if she lets me kiss her?
Well, I will describe myself: I
have black hair, blue eyes and dark
complexion, and I am 5 feet and 10
inches tall and weigh 132 pounds. Do
I weigh enough for my age? Thank
ing you for your advice.
DAVID.
Perhaps the girl doesn’t care
to have others know she is in
love with you. It is not good
manners to spoon and draw at
tention to yourselves when in the
presence of others. So the young
girl is right to be nice to others.
But if she slights you or ignores
your presence, that is wrong. Do
not call to see her but two or
three times a week, because she
may have other things she wants
to do and it'is wrong to monopo
lize her time. No, there is not
much terrible harm marrying a
girl you have kissed. If you feel
that way, you shouldn’t kiss her.
If you willfully break down the
barrier then condemn the girl
for it, you are not much of a
man. But you are too young to
marry. You should weigh at
least ten or fifteen pounds more.
The Eradication of Bugs
In the eradication of bedbugs, coal
oil, which you have been using, is
almost always successful, provided it
is properly applied. One must
"track the beasts to their lair.” Pic
ture moldings are very likely to be
infested. The same is true of the
backs of pictures hanging on the
walls. In the bed they are usually
found in the corners and dusty
crevices. In the bed springs they
may be found in the dust collected in
the spiral spring near the attachment
to the frame. In mattresses they are
often found beneath the tuffs of cot
ton. Fumigation is usually much
less effective than the proper appli
cation of coal oil.
and location and then promptly mailed
to the owner of the cotton. The cer
tificate shows that the bale is a
bonded warehouse bale and its de
livery guaranteed when called for by
any purchaser. The state bureau
will also keep tab on all local mar
kets and issue bulletins covering
same. If the holders of the ware
house certificate are displeased with
local prices, the bureau will aid in
securing bids from large cotton
firms. Efforts will also be made to
get farmers to offer their cotton in
large lots, either individually or
jointly, as better prices can always
be secured for lots of single or
mixed grades than in selling one, or
at most, a few bales at a time. This
system will be a great benefit to the
Georgia farmers.
Bonding Warehouses in Georgia
The Georgia division of the asso
ciation, the state bureau of markets,
federal bureau of markets, the fed
eral reserve bank of Atlanta, and the
state superintendent of banks are all
working in harmony and industrially
pushing the movement to bond every
local warehouse in Georgia under the
federal warehouse act. Its adoption
is simply the law easily complied
with and but slight expense to the
owners of the warehouse. The eco
nomic advantage to the farmers,
however, is tremendous in the bet
ter marketing of the staple and in
securing loans from local bankers if
markets do not justify sales and
funds are needed. A large number
of these local warehouses will be
bonded by September, and the sys
tem will be vigorously encouraged
until every warehouse storing cotton
will be bonded and its certificates
showing weights, grades and staples
guaranteed under the law.
Standard Cotton Grades
In order to break off the confusion
in having different numbers to rep
resent the various grades by cotton
firms doing business in this state,
the Georgia division of the associa
tion and the state bureau of markets
will prepare and have introduced in
the legislature, which meets in June,
a bill to enforce the adoption of the
United States standard grades of cot
ton in this state. The farmers will
then know exactly what they are sell
ing and can keep fully posted on the
' markets.
, These economic reforms are laying
the foundation for an evolution in the
more economic handling and market
ing of the cotton crop. If backed
by the farmers all over the cotton
belt, great progress can be made in
a very short time.
Let the good work go on; there is
certainly great room for improve
ment, and this association will in
every possible way aid the growers
for better methods.
Yours very truly,
HARVEY JORDAN,
Secretary American Cotton Associa
tion.
water seal and water bath are both
popular with those who want a can
ner which costs less money.
If jars are needed, a supply should
be laid in early. The tops of both
the old and new jars should be gone
over carefully and all the rough
edges smoothed down with a knife.
There is no danger then that they
will cut the rubber. This is some
thing that can be gotten out of the
way before the season opens.
Test Rubbers Carefully
One of the make of rubbers which
is to be used should be tested. A
good rubber —one that will stand up
under the heat which long cooking in
the can entails—must possess elas
ticity enough to allow its being fold
ed and pinched without breaking, say
canning specialists of the United
States department of agriculture. An
other test is its ability to hold thir
teen pounds’ weight without break
ing when this weight is suspended
by a hook from the rubber ring.
Whatever type of apparatus is
used for processing or sterilizing, a
number of utensils are needed for
properly handling the product. These
include five or six good porcelain
sauce pans or those of some other
material that is acid proof, with cov
ers for use in handling and blanch
ing acid fruits, two tablespoons, one
set of measuring spoons, one wire
basket or several yards of cheescloth
for use in blanching, six wiping
cloths, two hand towels, one duplex
fork for lifting hot jars, and several
sharp paring knives. Look over your
supply and see if you have them in
stock.
SABBATH SCHOOL
LESSON
For June 13—1 Sam. 16:1-12
BY DB. MARION M’H. HULL
Golden Text: "The Spirit of the Lord
came mightily upon David from that day
forward.” 1 Sam.
Samuel mourned for Saul many days, un
til rebuked by God. Since God had re
jected him it was not right that His jrophet
should brood over him in sorrow. Besides
Samuel might have known that Saul s fam
ily could not be God’s choice. Jacob, in
blessing his sons, had promised the sceptre
to Judah; Benjamin had no, right to it by
birth or training. He was to be a ravining
wolf, springing upon the prey in the day
and dividing the spoil at night. Saul the
Benjaminite, was true to form. How sig
nificant then was God’s word to Samuel:
“I have provided me a, king among his
sons ” (Jesse, the Betlilehemite of Judah).
-Go’”. Note Gen. 49:10, 27, and 1 Sam. 16:1.
Saul had never been God’s choice.
But Samuel was afraid to go! Never in
his life before had he hesitated to do all
the will of God and at once. Why should
he be afraid of Saul now Did he not know
that God had set Saul aside? And what
was Saul apart from God? Ah, I’ll tell you
why Samuel was afraid of Saul now; for
he had never been so before. It was be
cause of his defection from God on account
of Saul. He had moped and mourned for
Saul after God had set him aside; he had
thus lost that intimate touch with God
which was the source of his fearlessness
and power before. Faith begins where fear
ends, and fear begins where faith ends. The
two are absolutely incompatible. Samuel s
faith was failing because no longer fed by
unbroken fellowship with God, and fear
followed. , , T
But God tenderly led him back. He was
not ready to let go of Samuel. God is per
sistently holding on to you long after you
have turned Him loose. He didn t give
Samuel complete instructions at once; but
led him step by step. “Take an heifer
with thee and say, ‘I am come to sacrifice:
and call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will
shew thee what thou shalt do; and thou
shalt anoint unto me him whom 1 name
unto thee.’ ” . ' . ~ , ..
Was this deception? At first sight It
might appear to be this; but a closer study
will give an entirely different Idea. God
was not ready yet to publicly proclaim the
man of His choice; he was not ready for
the office; he had to be prepared for it.
The public anointing of anyone now would
have thrown the whole kingdom into a civil
war. The good of the whole would there
fore not be conserved by publicity at this
time. Samuel was accustomed to going
from place to place to sacrifice, as occasion
demanded, and it was nothing more than
natural for him to visit Bethlehem for that
purpose. Therefore he was told to go there
and hold a sacrifice; this would not excite
suspicion and the real and ultimate object
of his visit could be accomplished without
publicity. ,
There is a distinction between conceal
ment and deception. It is never right to
conceal a part of the truth if the purpose
of such concealment is deception, or if the
impression naturally created by such con
cealment is false. Concealment of part of
the truth is right and justifiable only when
such concealment does not mislead. It is
never right to tell anything but the truth;
but it is not always necessary to tell the
whole truth, if keeping back part of the
truth does not mislead as to, even though
it does not reveal, the whole truth. For
example, here, Samuel’s visit to Betlilelieni
was to perform a spiritual serviced This
consisted in sanevtifying the people first, so
that they might enter with him into a sac
rifice to God, the object of which sacrifice
was to consecrate to God’s service him who
was to be prepared for the office of king.
This was the whole truth. It did not cre
ate a false impression to conceal part of the
truth. They all were sanctified, they all
took part in the sacrifice, they all (at least
all of Jesse’s sons), saw the youngest boy
anointed, but were kept ignorant tor a long
time as to what the particular office was.
But that ignorance was not a false impres
sion, . „ . .
It is a fine distinction you think? but you
are intelligent. God expects you to use
your intelligence, and never let the dis
tinction be wiped out in your thinking or
speaking. Think what the purpose and what
the result of your concealment of part of
the truth will be, and you will never go
wrong. , „
God’s Way of Choosing
The elders of Bethlehem «»viaent>y iiau
guilty consciences, otherwise they wnul 1 rot
have been so alarmed at the coming of the
righteous judge and prophet. “Conscience
makes cowards of us all.” But Samuel al
layed their fears. He instructed them to
sanctify themselves for the feast. He seems
to have devoted himself particularly to Jes
se’s family. They had inherited the fields
of Boaz and of Eiimelech, and were proba
bly the leading people of the town.
Jeise had his sons come in—Eliah. Abina
dad, Shammah, Quartus, Sextus and Septi
mus. Eliah was a splendid looking fellow,
and Samuel was fooled, as the people had
been before, in selecting Saul for his fine
phvsique. But God said, I have refused
him. In tome way God made Samuel real
ize ttiut physique didn’t make a man, any
more than clothes do. God’s all penetrating
eye looked deeper into his character. W e
are learning some of this secret cf God’s.
We like for men and women to look neat--
to dress so that their dress will not be no
ticed, either for flashiness or sombreness —
but in choosing thexh for positions of trust
or for partners in life, we look deeper into
what qualities of character they have. Sam
uel had passed them all up—they must have
been rather chagrined as one after another
was told to step aside! He turned to Jesse,
who had seemed to have an almost unlim
ited supply of sons, and asked if there were
no more. He had been confined to Jesse’s
family by God’s direction. There surely
must be more. Yes, there was a lad so
young that he had not thought it necessary
to call him to the sacrifice; he was out
keeping the sheep. Bring him ■in then, said
Samuel, we can’t sit down until we have
him.
So they waited ‘ until lie came running
in—a youth of about fifteen, muscular, ac
tive, sunburned, and with the curlish au
burn hair (inherited from his great grand
mother Ruth), the keenest eye, and the
most attractive personality! “Arise and
anoint him,” said Jehovah, “this is he.”
And Samuel poured the oil, from the
drinking horn he carried with him, on the
head of tills attractive youth, setting him
apart for some service, which neither the
boy, nor his brothers, nor his father sus
pected at that time; for young David Ben
judah went back to the hills to tend the
sheep, and Samuel went back to his home
at Ramah. God bad protected his servant.
He had directed him in the choice, and his
mission had been accomplished without caus
ing a ripple in the political situation.
But David was a different man from that
time forward, for when the anointing oil
came upon his head it but pictured the real
thing that had occurred—he had been anoint
ed with the Spirit of God. The Spirit of
God pushed him forward. So the original
word means. It is used only in Judges
14:6, 19 and 15:14—0f Samson; in 1 Sam.
10:10, and 11:11—Of Saul; and here 1 Sam.
16:12—0f David. (Incidenetally this should
settle the question of Saul’s conversion.)
The Spirit of God pushed David forward.
He was the force behind David (as behind
Samson and Saul) enabling him to do what
be had not force enough to do of himself.
The subsequent story of his life amplifies
this statement—lie had strength and skill
given him to kill a lion and a bear and a
boor (Goliath); he learned to be patient
under persecution; he grew big of heart,
and keenly sensitive to God and all that
God had touched; he was willing to wait on
God; he became skilled in music; and every
thing in the out-of-doors became to him
vibrant with God. This was the result of
the forward push of the Spirit of God.
On the contrary, Saul lost this through
his disobedience. The Spirit of God "turned
off” from Saul, and ■without the forward
push he had had, Saul made no progress
from that day.
God is still choosing today those who
shall do His service. “Ye have not chosen
me, said Jesus, but I have chosen you,”
etc. It is often in some obscure place,
God finds the one He needs. Then God
equips His chosen ones; the Spirit of God
pushes them forward as long as they will
go with him. If such an one refuses to
obey, He turns off because they have
turned off from Him. He is still pushing
forward in the direction of His will, but you
may have turned aside in the direction of
your will, and therefore no longer feel the
onward urge of His Spirit. Left to your
self you are weak Indeed, and the easy
prey of every evil impulse.
God has chosen you. God is preparing
you for some service. God will call you
out when He needs you; He will equip you
and push you forward to do His will, if
you are willing and obedient.
23 Postage Stamps Cost
Negro Long Prison Term
For the theft of twenty-three 2-
cent postage stamps, John Hawkins,
negro, nineteen years old, will spend
two to fourteen years in Indiana Re
formatory. He pleaded guilty yes
terday to stealing the stamps Tues
day night from the Central Coal
company, Seventh and Wall streets,
Jeffersonville.
Hawkins was paroled from the re
formatory ten months ago, and went
to Indianapolis. Tuesday he return
ed to Jeffersonville, and that night
broke a window at the coal office,
broke open a money drawer and
stole the stamps, according to his
confession.
James F. O’Neil, manager of the
coal company, found the negro at
Seventh street and Broadway, Jef
fersonville, put him in an automo
bile and took him to police head
quarters. Fifteen hours after the
robbery Hawkins was sentenced and
at 2 o’clock yesterdav afternoon was
back at the reformatory.
OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS
For the Discouraged
I don’t intend to preach to you
this morning, but it is good to steal
away from the anxieties of the pres
ent and look over the past and see
what God hath done for us, and
what we have tried to do for God,
by helping those who have needed
us. Did you ever read "The Story
of the Othei’ Wise Man?” It is one
that you can never forget. Do you
remember that Dr. Van Dyke, in his
preface says of that fourth wise
man, “All through his life he was
trying to do the best that he could.
It was not perfect. But there are
some kinds of failure that are better
than success.”
Artavan, the Median, was a Magi,
of the ancient priesthood of the fire
worshippers. He called his friends
and fellow students of Zoroaster to
gether one night and told them of
seeing a new star; it was visible
only one night. This student, this
Median nobleman and his three
friends, Caspar, Melchoir and Beltha
zar, after seeing this star once,'
searched the ancient tablets, read the
words of Daniel and computed the
time for it to again appear, and they
had decided to follow it and see for
themselves and to worship the Prom
ised One.
He wanted his nine friends to go
with him, so as to share the bless
ing. But each one had an excuse.
The first one answered much as the
scornful did in Jerusalem, “Can any
good come out of Nazareth?” Only
this time the statement was, “No
king will ever rise from the broken
race of Israel, and no end will ever
come to the eternal strife of light
and darkness. He who looks for it
is a chaser of shadows. Farewell.”
The next was guardian of the
royal treasure and his office held
him.
The next had a bride and as he
could not take her on the strange’
long journey the quest was not for
him.
Another was unfit for hardship,
but he had a servant he would send |
with Artaban to bring back word. I
The oldest, the one loving Artaban ,
best, lingered till all were gone and I
said gravely, ‘My son, it may be I
that the light of truth is in this sign
that has appeared in the skies, and |
then it will surely lead to the j
Prince, and the mighty brightness,
or it may be only the shadow of the
light, as Tigranes has said, and
then he who follows it will have only
a long pilgrimage and an empty
search.
“But it is better to follow even
the shadow of the best than to re
main content with the worst, and
those who would see wonderful
things must often be ready to travel
alone. lam too old for this journey,
but my heart shall be a companion
of the pilgrimage day and night, and
I shall know the end of thy quest.
Go in peace.”
Artaban was left in solitude. He
lifted the heavy curtains of the
hall, passed between the dull red pill
A Novel Way of Preserving Meat Has
Been Invented by Dr. Sangioranni
A novel and interesting method of
preserving meat has been invented
by Dr. Roberto Sangiovanni, of Na
ples. It is intended for climates in
which there is long continued sun
shine and little moisture in the air—
our own southwest, for instance.
The process is as follows:
Remove all the bones and fat; cut
into rectangular pieces as large as
possible. With a big needle pass
coarse string through one end of
each piece and knot the string so
that the pieces hang from it. Dip
for an instant into 95 per cent al
cohol and hang in" the open air until
a dark, dry crust has formed all over
the pieces, which will require three
or four hours, according to the heat
of the sun.
Powder pure gum arabic in a
porcelain or glass motar, mix two
parts of powdered gum with one
part of a solution of the purest tan
nic acid in ether and four parts of
water. Paint each piece of meat
with this emulsion, using a large,
fiat brush, on the following day re
touching wherever there is an ex
posed spot, however small, in order
that every piece may be perfectly
covered.
Waste No Time Spraying
Paris Green on Insects
Do not waste your time spraying
paris green on insects that suckt the
juices from plants and foilage, such
as lice, green, black and white aphis
cr fly, meally bug, red spider and
scale, by thrusting their proboscis
into the leaf or stem, for they are
not affected by stomach poisons,
they must be destroyed by contact
insecticides. Those in powder form
kill by closing the breathing pores
in the insect’s skin, or in fluid form
from being absorbed through these
pores, the American Forestry Maga
zine points out. The best contact in
sectides in powder form are helle
lore, slug shot and tobacco dust.
The best in fluid form are aphine,
black leaf 40, fish (whale) oil soap,
nicotine (tobacco extract), kerosene,
miscible oil and lemon oil.
Insects that eat plants, foliage,
vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc.,
whether bugs, beetles, worms, cater
pillars or slugs, are more quickly
and effectually destroyed with a pois
onous stomachic insecticide such as
e rsenate of lead, paris green or helle
bore. These, if applied acording to
directions, are so diluted as to be
harmless to vegetation and to animal
life. Less poisonous stomachic and
contact insecticides are kerosene
emulsion, slug shot, etc.
Real Slacker
PARIS, France. —Jules Reant, a
farm laborer listed as a deserter
since the end of August, 1914, was
arrested at Lille. It developed that
he had been secreted for five years
in a farm granary near the village
of Auchel in the department of Pas
de Calais.
Neighbors kept Reant supplied with
food and also kept his hiding place
secret during the war, even the Ger
mans, who passed through, not dis
covering him. It was learned Reant
left his self-imposed confinement in
July last after five years of soli
tude.

ars of prophyry to the terrace on
the roof. , . . ,
To many of use this scene is fa
miliar, to the many of us who have
spent nights beside the bedside of
our sick or dead, and with the early
dawn have felt the “shiver that
thrills through the earth ere she
rouses from her night sleep,” Arta
ban reached the roof just then. “The
cool wind that heralds the daybreak
was drawing downward from the
loftv, snow-tracid ravines of Mount
Oreiites. Birds, half awakened,
crept and chirped among the rustling
leaves and the smell of ripened
grapes came in brief wafts from
the arbors. Far over the eastern
plain a mist stretched like a lake.
But where the distant peak of Zaros
serrated the western horizon, the sky
was clear. Jupiter and Saturn rolled
together like drops of lambent
flame about to blend in onqi
“As Artaban watched them, behold,
an azure spark was born out of the
darkness beneath, rounding itself
with purple splendors to a crimson
sphere, and spiring upward through
rays of saffron and orange into a
point of white radiance.
“Tiny and infinitely remote, yet
perfect in every part, it pulsated in
the enormous vault as if the three
jewels in the Magian’s breast had
mingled and been transformed into a
living heart of light.”
Artaban covered his brow with his
bands, his head was bowed.
“It is the sign,” he said, "The King
is coming, and I will go to meet
him.”
It is better to follow the shadow of
good than to be content with the
worst. This is the idea that I want
you to stow awa-- in your heart and
ponder over when there come times
in your life when you are not sure
about your pathway. And remember
that you canont count on your friends
We must be ready to travel alone if
we would see the Light.
Dr. Heniy Van Dyke has writtsi
much that is uplifting, but nothing
more so than the story of this man
who left his home and did the best
thta he could to help those needing
him.
I don’t know how it is with you.
we have had rain until te farmers
are almost desperate. Don’t let the
weather get the best of you.
“You’re beaten to earth. Well, well,
What’s that?
Come up with a smiling face
It’s nothing against you to fall down
flat
But to lie there, that’s the disgrace.”
Ard remember that we are told to
“cast your burden on the Lord, and
He shall sustain thee.”
Tholuck says: “Christians are not
men who do not care, but men who
cast their care on the Lord. Chris
tians are not inen who see no thorns
upon the track of life, but they are
men who know from their own ex
perience w’here Christ’s grace is
granted all thorns at last swell and
-burst open into roses.”
Hang in the open air, taking them
indoors and covering them whenever
there is any moisture in the air and
hanging them out again every dear
day until they are perfectly dry and
give out sound like lump® of wood
when slammed upon a table.
When certain that the meat is per
fectly dry scrape or cut the layer of
gum from the surface, leaving no
trace of it. The object of this coat
ing has been to keep all germs from
the meat and at the same time to
permit the evaporation of all mois
ture contained in it. If the process
has been carried out with care the
meat will not putrefy; it will retain
all its qualities, every cell and fiber
being perfect. When wanted for
use, all that is necessary Is to Im
merse it in water for several hours,
depending dn the size of the pieces.
Dr. Sangiovanni prepares from this
dried meat a powder which can be
eaten raw or mixed with milk, flour,
wine, water or any other food. The
dried meat is chopped fine, then put
through a small mill and sifted sev
eral times through sieves until it is
an impalpable pink powder, all the
fibers and connective tissue being
removed. It therefore, a perfect
extract of mwr, containing every nu
tritive particle without the addition
of any foreign substance.
And he recommends its use in the
form of biscuits made by mixing
equal parts of powdered beef and
wheat flour with eggs, sugar, butter
and milk in quantities at the judg
ment of the baker.
