I.—Paul's Visit to Greece and MI
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. Fellowshiping with the disciples
at Troas (vv. 6-16). He met with them
around the table of the Lord and
spoke words of encouragement. While
preaching 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.
| 1. Paul’s Farewell to the Ephesian
| Elders (20: 17-38).
| 1. Review of his three years’ min
| istry (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
}‘in public ‘and in private. He negleeted
| 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.
Ii 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
galem (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
complete his ministry at whatever
cost—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
Ideclare the whole counsel of God,
therefore was free from the blood of
all men.
3. His charge to the elders (vv.
28-85). (1) The ground of (v. 28).
The flock for which they must care
was purchased by the precious 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
tain 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 uttef
.ances. Let all who ¢laim 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
| suffering awaited Paul, revealed unto
| him the same suffefing and sent him
| forward into it. : e

,l V. Pauyl at Jerusalem (vv. 15-17).
_ The brethren at Jerusalen. gladly re
’ ceived him and his companions. Paul’s
| Jodging place was with an old disciple.
~ Little Things
Little foxes that spoil the vineyards:
Little compromises with the world;
disobedience to the still small voice
i{n little things; little indulgences of
the flesh to the neglect of duty; little
strokes of policy; doing evil in little
things that good may come; and the
beauty, ~and the fruitfulness of the
vine ‘are sacrificed.—J. Hudson Taylor.

Farm Inventory '1

Best Time Usually Is Firs
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 te 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, A ‘
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 fastér 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 farms, 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 Tiiventory record book
called “How“to. Take a Farm 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, togetber 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. Thefe'is séme advantage in fall
setting, as the ground is usually in
fairly" good ecndition then, while in
early spring,' it may be.wet and soggy
until quite late. It is more profitable
to malke 2 new bed of one-year aspara-’
gus plants than to attempt transplant
ing old ones, and in setting plants,
none but the strong 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,
“Some 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 ol
farming pays best in his locality”
says the rural economies department
of the Ohlo State university in au un
alysis of the accounts of a groun «
farms in counties lying along the Ouly
river in southwestern Ohio,
In comparing the five farms with the
highest labor incomes in the groap,
with' the farms having the three oy
labor incomes, it appears that the hest
paid farmers were depending mory
heavily upon live stock for their proits,
than were the low three. The bLigu
five derived 84 per cent of their cash
income from live stock, while the low
group . obtained only 74 per ceni of
their receipts from this source,
The high five had 6.6 more mi'%
cows to the average farm, 1.1 fewer
brood sows, and 43 more hens, than
the low-return group. The net fu.
crease in live stock on the high fiv
farms was almost two and one aalf
times as great as on the low income
farms, .
For every dollar’s worth of feed fel
to the live stock on the high five furms
there was returned $1.47, while for o
dollar’'s worth of feed the low thre
farmers obtained a return of onl;
$1.05.
Only Alfalfa Seed Now
Verified by Governmen:
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Changes in the sced origin-verificas
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 prucs
tically all commercially handled aifal.
fa seed have been announced by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture.
Practically all large alfaifa seed
handlers have voluntarily enrolled
with the bureau as verified-oricin al
falfa seed dealers. Last year 17.000.
000 pounds of alfalfa seed were verls
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 United
States verified-origin seed certificates
will be aftached 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
marketing specialists, has demons
strated fully the effectiveness of the
supervision by federal agencies in give
ing adequate protection to the cem
tificates issued, so that now tost
dealers and buyers of seed recognize
the reliability of the service and ifs
value to bothi producers and con
sumers of seed.
Find Honey Crop Aided
- by Winter Preparation
Many beekeepers find that winter 13
the proper time to pave the way for &
good crop of honey, reports Ray Hut
son, bee specialist at the New Jersey
experiment station. These men make
a practice of assembling all equips
ment during the winter season S 0 that
when spring comes 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
S 0 tl\fl&{flgy 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 propolis
about ft.s 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
as extracting supers. This also is best
removed during the winter.”
Potash Fertilizers
The value of potash fertilizers on al
kali soils was conclusively demons
strated last season onfthe Joe Herron
farm in Howard county, Ind., the Pur
due News Service states. He broud
cast 200 pounds of 0-8-25 fertilizer
per acre on alkali soil where he had
been unable to get a erop of cori. it
addition to the 0-8-25 fertilizer, T
pounds of 2-12-8 were sown in the row
on all the field. The aikali soil receiv:
ing the 0-8-25, in addition to the 2-12-8
preduced 88 per cent more corn than
the check plot receiving only the

Quality of Milk
Admittedly the quality of milk can
not be modified by making variations
in the proportion of carbohydrate to
protein, Notwithstanding the best
grade of milk is produced from cows
which are in good healthy condition
resulting from the use of a well-pro
portioned grain mixture, Silage cannot
be excelled as a source qf succulence,
and shredded -fodder supplemented
With ‘clyver or difalfa hay is clearly
the best roughage; ‘the clover hay to
supply th 2 ash and protein, the cut
fodder to supply bulk.
