Butter Good After 13 Years. Indiana Farmer. " As showing that it is a question only of temperature and air-taint that keeps butter good a long time it is related that a Delaware man. 13 years age churned a coupJe.of pounds of butter and for lack of an ice box placed it in a bucket and lowered it part of the way clown his well. Two days.later the price of butter dropped in his town market and with a sort of union-like sympathy Mar tin's butter dropped; too only his went down the well, accompanied by the old oakeq bucket. . Martin let the butter remain in the water and bought a new bucket: " ; ' Recent rains raised the well un usually high and Thursday while casually, looking into the well Martin saw the same old two pounds of but ter floating about ' : serenely. He fished it out, and he and two neigh bors tasted it s straight and with bread, and strange as.it may, seem, the 13-year-old butter was as good and sweet as the day it was made.

A Governor may have more serious faults than a disposition to grant too. many pardons. This is the hardest job confronting the Chief Executive of the State, and a kind, sympathetic man often finds its im possible to turn down an application that a more - severe person might reject. Those who criticize a Gover nor on this score should try to imagine themselves5n his place for 'a short while and the matter might appear in a different light. It is na credit to a man to be so stern and unfeeling that he can reject a pardon applica tion easily. - ' . . .. Cure for Lockjaw. What is,,believed by medical men to be a cure for the hitherto fatal tetanus or lockjaw has been dis covered by Prof. A.S. Lovenhart, of the rUniversity of Wisconsin, who for several days has been co-operat-ing, with Mil waukee physicians in the case of Albert Johnson in St. Mary's Hospital. Whjle the result in this instance was not a cure it warrants the opinion that a signifi cant step has been taken in the di rection of a cure - for this"" disease. Professor Lovenhart has foundL that a substance which : he produced in the laboratory .was capable of de stroying , the toxin or poison pro duced by the germ of lockjaw in laboratory experiments, ; outside the body, and when the disease occurs in ahimala, ;4 C y?Wyxil.: Died ilelr61Ither Man.

There are; two varieties "of this trouble one known fas the." loose smut,' the other,- the stinking smut The loose smut is readily recognized from the fact.that it drops out as a dry dust and leaves the chaff em pty, t The "' stinking i smut, ?on the Con trary, remwng in the chaff a more or less waxy m?ss. which has af very disagreeable odor, when rubbed be tween the;; fingersZ Xhe : latter, of these smutsT the stinking smut, , can be prevented by 'formalin treatment, which has been repeatedly given by me in these columns. ! AH you; need is to take 1 ounce of. formalin to 3 gallons of water-ahduse Tgallon of this mixture on each bushel of seed; wetting the seed -thoroughly - with this mixture at night and allowing it to stand over-night, covered with blankets or bags. The seed may then 'be" dried in any way which seems desirable.- Seeds so treated will raise wheat free ' from stinking smut, and will raise osts free from smut. - w ' ;. . This treatment is not, however, effective against the loose smut of wheat. The loose smut finds its wa into the seed when the wheat plant is still in bloomy therefore any see'd which comes from a field Iwhere there was smut, very probably 1 was affected when the wheat was in blos som The seed which comes from a field where there was any loose smut is almost certain: to raise a crop bad ly affected with the loose smut.' The remedy against loose smut is " to se cure .seed "from a field -which was known to be free from this disease. . - -The smut on corn is an entirely separate disease and does not grow on either wheat or oats. F. h. Stevens, Agricultural Experiment Station. How We Waste Our Cotton Seed. " Progressive Farmer. In our discussion of the better utilization of the cotton seed . we shall indicate how. j&titfiYfe stable manf- tJlrobtained; and in our previous article on fertilizers the lines along which a more intelligent fertilization are to come were pointed out. Incur article on "Bet ter Seed" we called attention to the increased yields of certain varieties over the average varieties planted, but we cannot refrain from again calling attention to the great impor tance pf every grower obtaining the best varieties for his section, and then improving their yield by proper selection. The tests of varieties made by, the Experiment Stations are the most extensive and most carefully conducted and are there fore the most trustworthy, and we insist that any-man who is in real earnest in his effort to get "$500 More a Year" from; his farming can not afford to neglect to get the two Heading varieties in the tests matfe by his Experiment Station and test them in comparison with the variety he is now planting. - By this means alone a good share of that "$500 More a Year" may be obtained. A Mountain of Sulphur. The Sjonfriere, or sulphurous moun tain. Is considered to be. the greatest natural curiosity of St Lueiar and, in. fact, of the West Indies: It is situated about half an hour's ride from the town of Soufriere, to which it has giv en its name, and. nearly two miles to the east of the Pitpns, and is at the foot of two small hills, both of whleh are quite bare of vegetation on . the sides facing the crater. It covers a space of about three acres and is crust ed over with sulphur and alum. There are several caldrons in a perpetual state of ebullition., The water is quite black In the larger "Ones, but in the smaller ones it is quite clear. Visitors never fall to boil some eggs in one of ,the smaller caldrons, "obtaining them from one of the creole guides, who keeps a supply on hand for .that pur pose. .

J THE SUIIDAY cnunni I : Lessons IX. Second - Quarter, For May 30, 1909. THE IIITERHATIONAL SERIES. Text - of : th Lesson, - Jas. II, 14-26C -Memory Versa 26 Goldn Tox Jas. r ii, 20 Comrnentry Prepared by Rev. H'-.Pr M'8toiartfcVe.V OoCTTljit. 1900, t7 Amerlcui Prea AaeoeUtlaQ.) In our last lesson we had a - good ad dress from James - at the council; of Jerosalem, a "wise nd practical talk on an Important subject;". Now we are to have ',. two lessons from r his epistle. There are no5, contradictions In . the Scriptures, fori the: one ; IIoly Spirit wrote; the whole book, and He cannot contradict Himself. If the writers (the human agencies) ' seem ; riot quite to agree,' It is because, they, are-talklng of different aspects of the same topic. Paul and: Peter and James and John are in perfect accord on salvation: by faith alone, .then good works or a con pfstent life as the evidence o faith' be fore men and then the glory and the reward according to our works. In James, outside the lesson for today, see the new birth by the word of . God, as plainly as Peter or John put it, ; in chapter .1, . 18. : See the kingdom and the coming of Christ In chapters II, 6; v, 7, 8. But the burden of James letter Is the second aspect of salvation, the bearing and the doing to the. glory of God because we are saved. ... The first . verse In ". bur lesson asks what benefit can there be In a faith that is a mere'; "say so" or word of mouth. See how strong John is on that point: "JEIe that salth I know Him and keepeth not .His command ments is a liar., If a man say I love God and hateth his - brother he Is a liar" (I John II, 4; iv, 20). Thesame teaching Is In Isa. - xxlj.. 13; Ezek. zxzlll, 31, and from our Lord Himself In Matt xv. 8. " Behold the Divine unity of Scripture. No amount of mere i'say.-soVcan save any one. It Is j wlth the -heart :that man believeth unto righteousness'. (Bom. x, 10). Mere talk' will "never feed nor clothe any one; therefore John says, "Let us not love In word nor In tongue, but In deed and in truth. A living faith must show Itself in works, and, if there are no works as the evidence before men of the faith we profess to. have, then it is, as James says, a dead faith, simply a painted light from , which no light proceeds. It is" to be feared that many who say theyT believe, believe, as the demons do, that there is a God and a Saviour, Jesus Christ a mere knowl edge of the facts which knowledge saves no one'. ' It is the honest reception of Christ that saves, for truly to be lieve Is to receive him (John 1, 12). Paul never stated more fully nor more' simply ; salvation by faith alone than James does In verse 23, where he affirms that God imputed righteousness to Abraham because he believed This statement is first found in Gen. xv, 6, and is repeated three times In the New Testament Rom. Iv;3; Gal. Ill, 6, and here-rthe Holy Spirit by this fourfold repetition emphasizing it most strong ly. The phrase used of Abraham only, "friend of God,' Is found In two other places II Chron. xXj 7; sa. xll, 8 but see for our own benefit In this con nection John xv, 14, 15. A full and eternal redemption is the-possession of every one. who truly receives the Lord Jesus Christ, and God needs no works as the evidence-of this faith, for He looks on the heart, , but the works are necessary as an evidence before men, and James nowhere; puts, this more strongly than does Paul in Tit. ill, 8, a f althfulisaylng. which It seems almost impossible to 'get Chrlstiamrto repeat, for my experience has been that if I ask in a public 'gathering to. have all repeat a verse beglnnbig "This is a faithful saying they always respond with I Tim. i, 15, and rarely does any one touch the one in Titus ou t good works. - It Is somewhat' like the two John ill, 16's. ., - : V. A life of self denial and good" works is not popular except with those who hope to win ' heaven thereby. " ' Real gratitude is as. rare as it was with the cleansed -lepers (one in - ten), r while a possible gain seems' to be an Inspira tion. Few believers seem to know, that thelove of Godr which fully saves us by the sacrifice of the Lord Jisus, also sets before us crowns to i be won by working for them and which we may have to cast at. His 1 feet in that i day. In Jas. L 2, 12,: we are reminded that trials are precious arid that those are blessed who endurer-f or such glorify" God, and will receive the crown jof life which Is only "mentioned .elsewhere In Rev. U, 10. Note Peter's strong words on enduring In -1 Pet 11, 19-21; tr, 12, 13. Enduring Implies humility - and submission and that we resist the devil, who r hates ; humility Jas. lv, 7-10). James Is very strong on another line of service, that of self . renunciation, which Paul tells us In I Cor. lx, 24-27, will bring :us an . incorruptible; crown." Tha story of the crowns is simply told In a tract entitled '.'Rewards For Serv ice published .by L. & VL; nox .216, Harrisburg. - Pa. ,?.-. 'xyy-.y, . ,The. twoj Illustrations of '. faith and works given in this, lesson, Abraham . and Rahab, seem to ' cover all classes" of believers," from .the highest to the lowest, and "what an encouragement to even the ; worst of sinners to . think of being associated with Abraham in the kingdom (Matt, vlli, 11). We are Justi fied before. God byfaith in Jesus Christ; but before ,men by the good works prepared for us to walKta and which God Himself will work In us (Eph. ii, Pi Pisa.. ft lZtpzb. xni i a ; UUIIUUL GOOD ROADS AND GOOD SCHOOLS Charily and Children. They are closely related and usual ly go together. In fact both are marks of the civilization of a people The country or the section that takes no interest in them brands itself as wanting in the spirit of progress he!,!)ecoS5 so general in our g00it Tb time was when we could better afford to rock along over red gulleys and send our chil dren to log school-houses than now. We were strugghng to get on our . foIxaLdecade or two after the close of the war, and could not do Oien what we are abundantly able to do now. The fact is the prosecution ot our own Dusmet s and the en chancement of the valuation of our own property demand ttat we pro vide better facilities for transporta tion and that we educate our chil dren' that they may meet the new and larger, opportunities of this new and brighter day. Besides, the for-., ward movement of those counties that have been wise enough to s&S&T ply themselves with good roads and good schools is an object lesson be-" fore our eyes that we can neither gainsay nor resist. There is nothing for us, who have been backward in these respects, to do but to join the procession that is marching along. -We cannot afford to be mossbacks. It is folly to cry out for economy when if comes to vital questions such as these. Indeed we cennot afford to delay. what we should have'begun ten years ago. v. HOME RELIGION. Mo 'Jhers Trea s u iy . A home may be full of persons who are very dear to each other; very kind to eagh other; full of precious things, affectionp, hopes living interest but if God is not there as the Ruler and Father of the house, the original and true idea of home will not be realized; vacancy and need will still be at the heart of all. Good things will grow feebly and uncertainly like flowers in winter, trying to peep out into sunshine, yet . shrinking from "the blast. Evil things will grow with strange per sistency, notwithstanding protests of the e flections and efforts of the will. Myterious gulfs open at times where it was thought strong founda tions had been laid. Little things will produce great distress. Great things, when attained, will shrink to littleness. Flicking of uncertainty and fear will run along the days. Joys will not satisfy. Sorrows will -surprise. HomeJ without Divine presence is at best a moral structure with the central element wanting. The other elements may be arranged and rearranged; they will never exactly fit, nor be "com pact together," until it is obtained. We have heard of haunted houses. That house will be haunted with the ghost of an unrealized idea.' . Friends Shot Each Other. William Bailey and R. M. Young, two young men of prominent fami lies of Lee county, Va., shot and kill ed each other while trying to kill another man last Thursday night at a school entertainment at Dryden. Young and Bailey had an alter-, cation with William Jesse over the matter of tickets of admission. Young and Bailey abused Jesse and the latter struck one of them. Jesse and Young clinched and Bailey, in an effort to 6hoot Jesse, shot Young. As Young was falling he fired aim lessly, the ball killing his friend, Bailey. Jesse was shot in the side and another man was slightly wounded. Pandelnonium reigned in the hall, where the entertainment was held. Women fainted and others screamed hysterically and it was many minutes before the fright ened audience was pacified. Young was a son of a former member of the Virginia legislature and Bailey was a telegraph operator, Editors as Jurors. Statesyille Landmark. 4 While not exempt by law from jury service, editors are not usually called' on juries, probably for the reason that the nature of their work publishing accounts of cases might cause them to have formed opinions. There was an exception, however, in Durham this week when Editor rJo. King, of The Herald, was called as a juror in a murder case. -The defense had asked for the removal of the trial on account of unfavorable newspaper publicity and editorial paragraphs in Mr. King's paper, but notwithstanding this both sides accepted the editor as a juror. J - Letting Him Down Easy. A young . man of very limited means, after the marriage ceremony presented to - the minister twenty seven large copper cents, all spread out on the palm of his right hand. 'This is ail I've got, parson," he said. ; Seeing a disappointed look in the minister's face, he added, "If we have any children, we will send them to your Sunday school." - r ---- - "A paper recently read by Dr. R.
