A Visit at Rothamsted By Ford S. Price Well known as the Rothamsted Kx- periment Stations is all over the world, I looked in vain foi it on the map. After a great deal of search and inquiry 1 finally discovered that it was located in Hertfordshire, which M on of the English counties, not far north of London. From my guid*- book I learned that the un.-vjcricultural gentleman who wrote it {fives but a minerals in different combinations and amounts. The average yield' of the unfertilized plot, up to 1912, was 12.G bushels i>er acre, for a period of sixty- one years. The yield started at about) ed with this spray they decay rapidly, fifteen bushels in 1840, and has fallen! and rot down into a mass looking like until now the yiekl seems to be about un tramped manure. Considering that; parative efficacy of French and Ger- man potash was being tried out on potatoes. On this field, too, a new fertilizer is being tested, a barnyard manure made by spraying straw piles with a substarvee which causes their rapkl decay. The substarvce used is a culture of, bacteria in a weak ammonia solution mich as urine, or ammonium sulphate. When straw piles are treat- stationary at ten bushels per acre, with no sign of soil exhaustion. Such a crop is of course not a profitable line to the place, concerning! one.

The foresight and earnestness of these two men may well serve as a guide to experimenters throughout the world. To their earn- estness, their devotion, their far- sightedness awl their unselfishness, scientific agriculture is indebted for the information and experience of eighty years of continuous field ex- periments, and the laboratory analy- sis and deductions which form our greatest single store of knowledge of the soil and its functions in existence to-day.

Repent- How We Waged War on thc Quack Grass. Not long ago quack grass, one of the greatest plant pests, appeared along the roadside which borders our farm. The plot was about two acres, ami is a gravelly loam soil. We im- mediately plowed the whode tract of land from the fence to the wheel track. In fact, we even moved the fence back sovwal feet to enable us to keep thc roots under control, then dragged the plot with spring-tooth harrow, follow- ing it up with the disk harrow, which aided much in destroying the root- lets. Sprouts appeared after a few weeks and the plot was harrowed apain. Each time, as it was harrowed', we went over the ground with a mattock and grubbed out the grass the grew close to trees and telephone poles. Usually we dragged the plot every three weeks, which was quite suffi- cient to keep the grass down. After two seasons we planted po- tatoes on this ground and realized a fair crop. Not a spear of the grass may be found along our roadside to- day, though our neighbor's farm across the road is literally overrun with it. Occasionally some of the grass sprouts along a fence. These are usu- ally well-feu niched patches, and we have found that tarred-paper roofing, spread over the grass with edges slightly lapped, smothered this inva- sion when well weighted down with sod and stones. A stone pile located on a quack- grass patch will exterminate it quick- ly if the stones are well heaped and there are enough of them. Around fence posts, frees, and stumps, where the paper cannot be applied, the plants must be dux out every three or four weeks, and after a season or less they will die out. This work is best done when the ground is dry. Salt is sometimes used to kill small clumps of the grass, but us a rule it is too expensive to be of much value as an exterminator. of the laboratories, offices and library.! other crops did not have this virtue, A .stranger is impressed by the sim-Jdue to insects, soil exhaustion, crop plioity and modesty of the place.

The old prejudice a-gam.-t the con- sumption of meat in China has grad- ually broken down. Beaf particularly is now being largely consumed. The cow is used so extensively in China for power purposes that if its flesh were used for food a scarcity of ani- mals for farm work would ensue. It is only within the last decade that the movement of using cattle for food h;is started. Canned meats are now being sold there in large quantities. Grow root crops on Miiall pieces i.f new land. They yield heavily ami m;ike goixl feeds, besides furnishing vegetables for the table. Use a pure-bred sire if there is one in the neighborhood. Scrub stock costs much and returns little. Sell or rat the scrubs. Lesson Foreword The Book of Daniel, like the Book of Revelation, to which it bears a strong resemblance, was written to bring encouragerr. ;nt to men who were suffering persecution for their faith. This encouragement was administered by recounting the stcries of certain young Hebrews in i Babylon, who, though surrounded by {powerful temptations to betray their God, remained faithful to Him, and so were delivered from their trials. The two main ideas of the book are that the God of the Jews is in power and wisdom above all other gods and that those who remain faithful to him arc delivered from mortal peril. Both of these points are illustrated in this lesson. I. The Temporal Kingdoms, 36-13. V. 30. This is the dream. Daniel has just recalled for the king the forgotten dream of the colossal image, vs. 31-35. Now he proceeds to interpret it. In the Bible, dreams are most often re- garded simply as they are by 'men of good sense to-day, but in rare in- stances they were considered to be revelations from God. V. 37. Thou; Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon from B.C., 604 to 561. Prom his records we learn that he was a great builder and a man of strong religious sense. King of kings; a title used in particular by the Per- sian kings, Ezra 7: 12. The Babylon- ians and other Oriental kings loved to flourish high-sounding titles. The God of heaven hath given thee. Darnel makes Nebuchadnezzar realize that he holds his kingdom as a favor of the God of the Jews. V. 38. Daniel acknowledges that Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom is univers- al and absolute. This head of gold. See v. 32. Andrews says that the colossal statue, according to Daniel's interpretation, is a pictorial represen- tation cf the course of history. The four parts of the image symbolize four kingdoms and the head is the Baby- lonian kingdom. As gold, it outshone the others in point of brilliance and prosperity. V. 39. After thec . . another king, dom ; the breast and arms of silver, v. 32. It is likely that this refers to the Modes. They lived in the mount- ainous country, northeast of Babylon and were the chief instruments in the destruction of Nineveh, B.C. 607. Third kingdom of brass; the Persian. In B.C. 549. the dominion of the Medes fell to Cyrus, the Persian king, and in B.C. 539 he captured the city of Babylon. Thereupon the Baby- Ionian empire became the Persian. V. 40. The fourth kingdom; the Greek or Macedonian. It was founded by Alexander the Great, who captured the Persian empire by his victory at Issus in B.C. 333, and pushed his con- quests as far as India. It is symbol- ized by iron because of its crushing power. Parents as Educators Thf.t Problem of Obedience By Edith Lochridge Reid __ _, Have you ever stopped to consider the air.

This is the vital point. There must be no hit-and-miss obed- ience. To spank a child one day for loitering and t!von go off to the club the iwxt day ami leave her to wander about as she pleases after school is not consistent discipline ami any child soon realizes this. Constant o!>edience becomes instinctive habit, and tha suc- cess of the whole system <:. --'i ! . < on starting in lime to disi-ipi;!! and maintain u steady hand even though it sometimes is inconvenient for Ihe parents. When baby first starts deliberately to throw his spoon off his high chair and throw his porridige about, that is the time to teai-h obediem-e to the laws of table manners. When he lir t hits you with his little fist be^- ? you have reproved him for a ra s !c- mpan'or that is the time to instil into his mind a respect for authority, and do it em-h time he strikes until it be- comes n habit with him to respect you and your cominnmls. The secret of making obedience a habit is keeping a steady hold over the chilli's actions ami direi'tiivjr him always in eae>h libtle aetion until de- liberate disobedience is reduced to a minimum. To forbid the child 1 not to do a thing one day and then to permit him to do the same thing the next day is a course of action which gives him no definite id of what real obedik'nee is. "Consistency thou art a jowol" is p.o more truly applicable anywhere than in discipline of children. Ami the next law of successful training in chedience is to discriminate wisely be- tween the net cf impulse and the malice-aforethought conduct. I V. 41. The kingdom shall be divided. Alexander died before his empire was properly consolidated. After his death it was divided between his two gen- erals, Seleucus, who received Syria and Babylon and made his capital in Antioch, and Ptolemy who received Egypt. The kingdom of Seleucus was the part of iron, and that of Ptolemy, the part of potter's clay. V. 42. The toes; represent the king- . doms of Alexander's successors, Seleu- cus and Ptolemy. V. 43. Mingle themselves with the seed of men. This alludes to the ma- trimonial alliances between the house of Seleucus and the house of Ptolemy. , The seed of men were probably the ! children of the monarchs ruling at the time. They shall not cleave one j to another. These marriages "did not, however, succeed in producing permanent harmony or union between ;them" (Driver). II. The Everlasting Kingdom, 44, 45. V. 44.

Nebuchadnezzar perceives the truth- fulness of Daniel's interpretation and rewards him with enviable prefer- ments, v. 47. He also admits that Daniel's God is above all other gods. Application. The Golden Text (Rev. 11: 15), de- clares, "The kingdom of the world is : become the kingdom of our Lord, and I of His Christ: and He shall reign i for ever and ever." This is the j" one far-off divine event, I To which the whole creation moves." The succession of dynasty to dynasty, the rie and fall of nations one after i another, as set forth in Nebuchad- nezzar's dream, the Assyrian, the Chaldean, the Persian, the Greek, the Roman, have been stages in the jour- | r.-ey of humanity along the track of j the years to that fulness of time when j "the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroy- ' ed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof ' be left to another people." It is the busrines of the Ch'irch and i of the individual Christian, not only to pray, "Thy kingdom come," but also I to work ami strive for its coming. The activities of th<> church at home and 'in mission lands are two expression* j of one sole duty to make the king- jdom of the world, the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ.
