Windsor Chair in History Should you have a Windsor chair, writes Catherine Shelhiharger lu the Brooklyn Kagle magazine, remember it was brought Into vogue by King (?eorge I of Kngland. King George, talking to one of his farmer subjects, admired the humble sent on which he sat. the back of which was made of -slender spindles. He thought so much of the chair that he ordered a set made for his palace at Windsor and so established the popularity of the Windsor chair. Among fainou9 Americans who were partial to Windsor chairs wss Thomas Jefferson On this chair, wltb wide arms that served as a writing desk, and which also had a double seat, he wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence. Arebtry Butt shooting Is an old Rngllsh terra which means the mine thing aa target sh<M?tlng In the olden days the shoot ing grounds were equipped with banks of dirt, covered with sod. which formed the socnlled butt. Over this sod was usually placed a piece of pa per to act as a target, and the term "butt shooting" was used to dlstln gulsb It from rovers Roving consists in shooting at various targeis placed In fields at varying distances. The archers shoot from one to another, which helps develop their ludgment of distances, and did In the olden days mean quite a lot to the yeomen, whose business was shooting the bow and arrow, and on days when they were not fighting they were in the fields practicing roving.

The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven (vv. 1-4). 1. The disciples' question (v. 1). The prominence given to Peter In connection with the announcement "t Christ's purpose to hulld the church find the payment of tribute with the money Id the fish's mouth, provoked Jealousy on the purl of the other dis clples. The transtlguratlon scene re veaied the divine person and the pro urfltn of His kingdom. SeeinR that the kingdom was to come to reaiir-a lion despite the tragedy of the cross disciples wished to know their place of rank In the kingdom. 2. Jesus' answer (vv. 2-1). He taught them hy placing a little child In their midst. (1) Condition of entrance Into the kingdom (v. 3). The gi-eut question was as to whether they were really In the kingdom. Their behavior revealed the fact that they needed conversion Hefore they could even see, much less enter Into, the kingdom, they must he horn from above (John 3:3, 5), '-) Whosoever possesses chlldMke humility Is the greatest (v. 4). The child Is dependent, lowly and modest. Those who have been born again, or con verted, have these characteristics. It. The Lord's Identification With His Believing Ones (vv. 5-9). 1. Receiving the believer In Christ's name Is receiving Christ (v. 5). Through faith In Christ we become Cod's children and so completely Is our life Interwoven with Ills that lie regards treatment of us as treatment of Himself. 2. The peril of causing a believer to stumble (vv. 6*9). To cause to stumble means to give occasion for a moral fall. The par ticular reference was to the carnallt; and selfishness which were expressing themselves in their contention for pre eminence. Their behavior was not only an Injury, but a stumbling block to others. Everything causing one to stumble, though It be as vital as hands and feet, should be removed. III. Believers Are Specially Cared for by the Heavenly Father (vv. 10-14). 1. They are undsr angelic guardian ship (v. 10). So precious Is the believer In God's sight that angelic messengers are pro vlded (Ileb. 1:10). These angelic messengers have access to the ver> throne of C.od, even beholding His face. So high Is the honor bestowed upon believers that the hlshest angels are sent to guard them. 2. The Son came especially to sate such from their lost condition (vv 11-14). The Heavenly Father does not will that any one of these should perish They are objects of the Father's seek ing love. The salvntlon of the hum hie believer has been secured hy the Incarnation and the sacrifice of the flood Shepherd. IV. Jesus Receiving Little Chll dren (Matt. 19:13-1S). We should carefully note the settlnv of this text. Jesus had been speaking of the sanctity ?f marriage, which Is the bulwark of the home. Into the sacred enclosure of the home come childhood to complete and ennoble It 1. Children brought to Jesu! (v. 13). Doubtless they were bi ought h\ their parents.

Dairy Industry Discards Timothy Alfalfa and Other Legume Hays Grow in Popu larity as Feed. C Prepared by the United State* Department or Agriculture.) Id the last few years there has been a great increase In the demand for legume hays on the part of the dairy industry, especially for alfalfa hay. and alfalfa, and other legume hays are displacing timothy hay for all kinds of live stock, because of their high value as food for the animal and for the production of animal products. | their value in balancing the ration, 1 and the economy In using them, says ; the bureau of agriculture economics. ( United States Department of Agricul ture. Decrease in Timothy Hay. Statistics of the bureau show that j in the seven years ended In l'.rJJ) the ; leading timothy hay producing states , of the (Jreat I.akes region -including New York, Ohio. Michigan. Indiana. Illinois. Wisconsin. Minnesota, and Iowa ? increased the acreage of alfalfa cut for hay from one and one-third million acres to two and three-quarters million acres, and reduced timothy acreage from seven million acres to four and a quarter million acres. Legume Hays Superior. Experimental work in feeding dairy cows, says the Department of Agrlcul Hire, has repeatedly shown the supe riority of legume hays over timothy for milk production. Although It Is considered inadvisable to substitute legume hays entirely for protein con centrales In rations, farmers are being , urged by the department to feed le- I mime hays instead of tess productive hays. Many soils, says the depart ment. can he made suitable for the growth of alfalfa or clover by an In vestment In lime and phosphates. Many farmers In these states could increase their farm Incomes materially by growing high quality legume hay for markeL says the departinenL Careful Planning for Two Vegetable Crops By careful planning at least two good crops of vegetables may be taken off the same ground In one season. This system of succession cropping enables the gardener with limited space to supply a large quantity of palatable products throughout the sea son with little extra work. Early crops, such as green onions, spinach, lettuce, peas, etc., may be followed by a second crop of the same kind or by beans, sweet corn, turnips, cabbi.ge. cauliflower, carrots, beets, etc.. accorilng to A. M. Rlnkley. asso ciate horticulturist st the Colorado agricultural college. Many of these vegetables, when ma turing In the fall, have the flavor and quality of those grown In the early spring. Pulverize the soil from wiilcb the flrsr crop was taken, make new rows and plant the seed or set out the plants as the case may be. Ex* a care In Irrigating snd cultivating should be given these late crops during the hot weather. Carefully Capping Silo Will Prevent Big Loss If there Is any silage left In the silo. It will probably prove to he ex ceedlngly useful during the sutnmet months when the pastures become low Careful capplne of the silage will pre vent excessive loss due to ferments rlon and decay. A covering of roofing paper, cut to tit the Inside of the siH and weighted down with silage or dirt, has proved to be satisfactory, according to the reports of many cow testers. The Idea is to prevent evaporation of moisture. When the moisture evaporates, molds will form, thus destroying a portion ?>f the sllace If It Is not covered. Some men also recommend smooth Ing off the top of the silage, packing If tightly and sprinkling with salt. The salt helps to seal the surface layer and also helps to prevent molds and demy A ?ayer of old newspapers, tar paper or similar material will also serve the same purpose.
