13:39-43).
OOl.DEN TEXT—Surely he hath borne
our griff and carried our sorrown: yet we
did esteem him stricken, smitten of God,
and afflicted.—la*. 63 4.
Last Sunday wo saw Jesus on trial
before Gentile power. Today's lesson
brings us to the central event of his
saving mission to men. We must
read all four accounts of this event
attentively, reverently, humbly, for It
cannot be treated even as other
events in the life of our Ix>rd.
I. The Procession to Calvary, v. 21.
Twas a physically exhausted Christ
that left the Judgment hall. A night
of vigil, mocking, buffeting and with-
out food since the previous evening
left him too weak to bear the cross.
Then It was that a son of Africa,
Simon of Cyrene, was "Impressed" to
bear the burden. The Romans de-
manded that the victim bear his own
crosB. He accepted the human help,
but refused the aid of the drug, Matt.
27:34. Luke gives us at this point the
Incident of the weeping woman. Mark
15:23 seems to Indicate that Jesus had
to be assisted to the place of the
cross.

cause of needless alarm
Chemical Analyses of "Cabbage
Snake" Falls to Show Any Traces
of Poisonous Substances.
(By P. SHERMAN. JR.)
A slender, yellowish or whitish
worm (not thicker than a needle) Is
sometimes found in the heads of cab-
bage, and of recent years there has
been a good deal of needless alarm
over them. As a matter of fact they
are not poisonous and do no harm
whatever, and If they should be occa-
sionally eaten by accident with the
cooked cabbage no harm could result.
Chemical analyses of the worms have
failed to show any evidences of poison-
ous substances whatever.
Many efTorts have been made to
trace definitely tho rumors of sickness
and death caused by eating cabbage
Infested with the«e worms, but in
every case proof Is lacking.
The "cabbage snake," therefore, so
far as being a real danger Is con-
cerned, is a mero superstition, a
"fake." apparently started by Ignorant
or mischievous persons. As a matter
of fact the "cabbage snake" i« noth-
ing but a worm, and Is a worm from
the time It hatches from the egg until
It dies of old age. The minute details
of how the worm gets Into the cab-
bnge heads and other vegetables can-
not be gone Into here, but the worm

will Include the gooseberries, currants,
blackberries, grapevines, etc.
After all danger of "bleeding" Is
The "Cabbage Snake"—Really a Worm.
Is a well-known and well-recognized
member of the animal kingdom, and
is known not to possess any poison,
past, the grapevines should be care-
fully pruned, and all posts and trel-
lises straightened up, which will guard
against doing this work in the spring
when it will injure them. Old straw
or cornstalks make a good fertilizer
here, and then a goodly per cent ol
common wood ashes should be sup-
plied to furnish the desired muriate ol
potash, which will keep down the too
rank growth, thus guarding against
fungous diseases and rot, and giving
the fruit an excellent flavor and good
size.
Where one failed to sow oats to
form the mulch In the strawberry bed
a covering of straw should be provided
to protect the plants from severe
freezing weather, and to furnish a fer-
tilizer next spring.
All -fruit bushes or orchard trees
which are where the rabbits can reach
them should be wrapped In thick pa-
per, gunny sacks, cornstalks, screen
wire or the regular tree protectors
made of veneer, this protection ex-
tending 18 or 24 inches from the
ground, so the snows of winter will
not enable the animals to gnaw the
bark from the trees.
Young nnd tender fruit plants
Bhould be carefully bent down to the
ground, a quantity of straw placed on
them and a few spadefuls of dirt care-
fully spread over them to protect them
from severe freezing till spring, when
tbls straw may be scattered around
them for fertilizer.

fall care of the heifers
Too Much Attention Cannot Be Paid
to Udders of Young Animals—
Never Give Ice Cold Water.
For the heifers that are to calve
this fall too much care cannot
given the udder.
To one quart of warm water add a
tablespoonful of water. Rathe the ud-
der well with this, after which knead
with turpentine and lard.
Give bran mashes with eome oil
meal.
If the udder becomes too full of
milk, milk out some, continue to grease
the udder, provide a warm place for
the bossies Never allow cold water
to be given after calving, but give a
bucketful of water with the chill taken
o(T as soon as she will drink It, fol-
lowed with a hot bran mash with oil
meal.
Never turn a heifer dry. Milk them
as long as they will give a tablespoon-
ful. By so doing you develop a good
milk cow.
Good Milk cows are In demand.
Nothing gives better returns for the
care given.

Ps. 22:16, Zech. 12:10. It was neces-
sary for our salvation that he should
die exactly as he did, Gal. 3:10, 13; j|
John 3:14; Deut. 21:23. Even the I
parting of his garments was prophe-
sied, Ps. 22:18. The presence of two
malefactors had also been foretold,
Isa. 53:9. 12.
III. Tha Passers-by at Calvary, vv.

Joined in heaping scorn upon him.
Even those that were crucified with

mob now N "save thyself" (v. 30). ,
'Twas spoken In mockery, but they j
spoke a truth, nevertheless: It was
necessary for the good shepherd to
give his life for the sheep, John 10:11, j
and by no means to use his power In
saving himself. They did not believe
on him after the resurrection of Laza-
rus: is It to be believed that they
would have accepted him had he
"saved himself?" To have saved him-
self would have been for him to take
himself out of the hands of God—an
act of disobedience.
IV. The Person on Calvary, vv. 33-
40. In the midst of this awful scene,
In the confusion of the mingled cry
of the mob, there Is sounded one note
of triumph. As Jesus was thus "lifted
up from the earth" (John 12:32), one
of those, his companions, ceased to
revile him, and cried out, "Art thou
the Christ?" and, to be literal, "If so,
save us." The other seems to have
had his vision cleared, for he rebukes
his fellow criminal by saying that
their condemnation was a Just reward
for their deeds. Turning to Jesus he
exclaims, "Remember me ... In thy
kingdom." The answer was imme-
diate and significant, "Today Shalt
thou be with me In paradise." This
Is a graphic Illustration of the whole
meaning and symbolism of the cross.
In his undying hour the Savior of men
loosed this sinner from his sins and
granted him the right to fellowship
with him In the life beyond.
Jesus hung upon the cross three
hours,
Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned lie stood
Scaled my pardon with his blood.
Hallelujah what a savior.
Hit Faith Triumphant.
Then God drew the curtain, for even
he could not look upon that scene (II I
Cor. 5:21; Heb. 1:13). We do not
believe the eclipse theory, but rather i
that God caused the darkness, anoth-
er Illustration of the closeness of man j
and nature, Rom. 8:20, 21 R. V. The
dying cry, "My God, my God, why hast I
thou forsaken me." was uttered when
Jesus sensed the full and complete |
realization of being «eparated from I
the Father. Heath Is not annihilation. I
but separation, and Jesus was sepa-
rated from God the Father because of
our sins, Isa. 53:6. Yet in that terri-
ble moment his faith does not waver, i
for he cries, "My God." Conscious of
his personal Innocence, but suffering I
for the sins of others, his faith la
.triumphant.
filler for dead furrows
Peg-Tooth Harrow Mounted on Two
Boards Will Cover Water Ditches
Left by the Turning Plow.
To fill the water furrow, or dead
furrow, that disagreeable ditch left by
the turning plow, take'a peg-tooth har-
row and two one by six-inch boards,
four feet long, writes P. P. Parsons of
J)oris, N. M., in Missouri Valley Farm-
er. Set the boards between the teeth

case In which all the requisites for a
moderate amount of correspondence
may be kept, and It can easily be con-
structed with the aid of a strong
wooden box of a suitable size with a
well-hlnged-on lid.
To make It, the front of the box Is
removed and" the exterior smoothly
covered with thin silk, the material
being turned over at the edges and
underneath and fastened on with sec-
cotlne or some other strong adhesive.
Inside, tjie sides and the bottom of
the box are lined In a like manner,
and bands of broad white elastic are
fastened across the center on either
side. These are hailed down at in
tervals with small brass-headed nails
and form a series of loops into which
scissors, seallngwax, pencils, etc., may
be slipped and held In place. At the
back of the box a number of pockets
are arranged, a large one for note-
paper, two smaller pockets for post-
cards and envelopes and two tiny
pockets for postage stamps. These
pockets are bound at the edges with
narrow ribbon. Fastened with brass-
headed nails across the inner side of
the lid are two bands of broad white
elastic under which Papers and letters
may be slipped In the manner shown
in the sketch.
Along the edge of the lid, also fast-
ened on with tiny brass-headed nails,
there Is a little curtain of soft silk

Here are some other Indications

trap nests. Those which are off the

and the last ones to go to roost at
night are the ones you can be sure
are your very best layers, or. In other
words,- are your money-makers.
These are the ones you should se-

dance frocks of taffeta
Why Pastures Fall.
Many pastures fail In midsummer
because they are not made right. Too
few grasses and clovers are employed
in the mixture. In many sections,
particularly in the central West, tim-
othy is the only grass used. This
should be supplemented with clovers
that mature earlier and again come
on later in the season than timothy.

ent habits of growth and seasons of

Glass-Front Henhouse.
A glass-front poultry house causes !
extremes In temperature, warming
up fci the day time and then turning j
cold with the setting of the sun. This
Is also apt to cause disease and make
the fowls* combs and wattles more:
sensitive to frosts. The open muslin
front is by far the best and at the
same time the least expensive. Some '
glass may be used, but not exclu-
sively.
Feed for Turkeys.
Turkeys enjoy a change of food,
and often will not eat at all unless
they get It. They like cracked corn,
but don't let them have It oftener
than once a day. as a little too much
will produce bad results. Wheat bran
Is good, also grass and garlic cut up
in their food, but sometimes they will
not eat it.
