Many Methods Used.
Many methods ore used to supply
moisture In .incubators, such asv sprin
kling es?" vitn warm .water at about
100 degrees Fahrenheit, or. placing a
pan of water, a receptacle containing
moist snnd. or a wet sponge below the
ggtray. Another common method of
supplying moisture is to sprinkle or
soak the floor of the Incubator room
or to place a pail of water under the
lamp. There 'Is less danger of getting
too much moisture in the, incubator
by this method than by putting mois
ture directly into the egg chamber.
Exceptionally Good Hatch.

The question of moisture detends
largely on -the place where theV incuba
tor Is located. If run in a room in a
dwelling house, it is frequently nec
essary to add moisture even to non-

the .bureau of -crop estimates, United
States . Department of Agriculture,
hlch shows that between harvest
time and January 1, this year, 285,172,:
Good Potatoes of Uniform Size." .
000 bushels of tubers were moved off
from the farms on their way to the
table. This Is 5699,000 bushels more
than left the farms in the correspond
ing period a year ago or a half bushel
additional for every man, woman and
child in the United States.
The potato crop of 1920 was, the
largest in the history of the country,
amounting to 430,458,000 bushels, and
of these only 145,286,000 bushels were
estimated as remaining in the hands of
growers and dealers January 1. In
1919 the crop was 255,773,000 bushels,
and the amount in the hands of grow
ers and dealers 'January 1, 1920, was
estimated at 127,400,000 bushels.
When the potato crop has been
large, under normal "conditions, the
stocks of January 1 usually have been
large, and in years of usual production,
before 1918, the stocks of January 1
commonly were about , one-half of the
crop in the total of the principal north
ern potato-producing states. In the
case of the 1920 crop, on the contrary,
the stocks -on the farm January 1
amounted 'to only one-third of the crop,
find were smaller than the average of
ttte three preceding years when the
production was much less.

The main text chosen for our study
pictures are the glorious coming age
when Christ shall reign over the whole
earth. Before this will take place
Christ shall come In person and de
stroy the works' of the devil and '-bind
him and cast him into the pit (Rev.
19;11-21; JJ Thesfc 2:3-10).
I. The Reign of Messiah the King
(Isa.. 11-1-12). .. . : . -
1. Messiah's, lineage (v. 1). It was
to be of David's lineroyal" stock. A
rod or twig was to come-out of' Jesse,
which Indicates that the royal house
was In a depressed state. - r '
2. Messiah's qualification (v. 2). (1)
The Spirit of the Lord, that is, a di
vine person proceeding from the
Father and Son. (2) Spirit of wis
dom, giving insight into - all things
human and divine.: (3) Spirit of under
standing, that is, to choose that which
is highest and best. (4) Spirit of
counsel, that is, the ability to make'
plans. (5) Spirit of might, that is,
the ability to execute His plans. (6)
Spirit of knowledge, that ; is, the
ability o perceive the will of God
in all things. (7) The fear of the
Lord, that is,- reverential and obedient
ar-- - : . 1 :- V -'.:
3. The character of Messiah (w-5),
(1) Quick to understand goodness
(v. 3). (2) He shall not judge after
external appearances (v. 3). C3) Shall
not decide upon hearsay (v. 3). Each
case shall be decided upon on the
basis of absolute :and perfect I knowl
edge. (4) He shall defend and avenge
the poor and meek of the earth (v. 4).
The meek shall inherit the earth when
Messiah reigns (Matt. 5 :5), (5) Shall
smite the earth (v. 4). Those whom
He smites are the ungodly inhabitants
who are then; in federation against
Christ. The head of this federation
is the Antichrist (2 Thess. 2:8). (6)
He shall have a zeal for justice and
truth (v. 5). v
4. Universal peace (vv. 6-9). This
Is a. picture of the glorious golden age
of . which poets have sung and for
which the wise men of all ages have
longed and looked. There will then
be peace not only between ?men, but
between animals. This peace and
harmony : is shown , in that in each
change suggested each animal is
coupled with its natural prey. (1)
The wolf shall dwell with the lamb
(v. 6). Dwell" means intimacy, as if
the lamb should receive the wolf into
its home."" The only place, and circum
stance at presenl in which the wolf
and Iamb dwell together is when the
lamb is insidrhe wolf. (2) The
leopard shall lie down with the kid
(v. 6). (3) The calf, young Hon, and
failing shall be together (v. 6); They
are so gentle and . peaceable that a
little child can lead them. (4) The
cow and tlie bear snail feed together
(v. 7). (5) The Hon shall eat straw
(v.; 7), no longer flesh. (6) The suck-
Ing child shall play on the hole of
the asp (v. 8). The mosf venomous
serpent shall not harm little children.
This blessed condition snail prevail
over the whole earth (v. sj.
5. All nations shall gather unto him
(vv. 10-12). The glorious reign of
Christ shall attract ?the Gentile na
tions. This Is the7 full purpose of
the kingdom, namely, J;o attract the
nations of the earth to Jesus Christ.
It. The Supreme Obligation of Be
li vers In Thte Age (Acts 1:6-9). While
we are ; nor responsible " for bringing
in the Kingdom we are under solemn
obligation to witness of the salvation
"which is graciously provided for all
who will believe on Christ - n
1.-The disciples question (v. 6).
They were - preplexed as to the time
of tlje kingdom's establishment. They
were right , in the expectation of tbe
kingdom, but were still, in darkness
