Fields that have streams, branches, or

turned to good advantage by making
them into goose pastures. A goose on

of its food, consisting of grasses, in

matter to be found in the fields and

UTTINGS FROM BUSH FRUITS
Best Results Are Obtained With Cur.
" rants arid Gooseberries if Work
Is Dne In Fall.
When there's a currant bush that
bears desirable fruit it is easy to
multiply, it by cuttings. Even the
gooseberry, at least some varieties, will
occasionally root - In this way, but It
will be more reliable if .multiplied by
layers, which means by laying the
"branches down to moist earth with
the tips sticking out ' to keep the
branches growing till they have struck
root and are ready to be parted from
"the parent bush.
Cutting of these fruits are best made
and planted in the fall as soon as the
leaves have dropped. Seven inches
Is- the usual length, but may be
much shorter, and quite likely to grow.
Stick to the top bad In beds about
faree Inches apart In rows something
wver a foot apart and mulch heavily at
- once. Let them grow one year In
ach beds and then transplant to their
permanent garden rows. For such
'Cuttings use only wood of the cur-
tent season's growth, and do not ex-
;pect. them to grow as freely as the
.willow or poplar.

fed, and should weigh between eight
ana ten pounds. Most young geese
from general farms are sold when they
are from five to" eight months; old.
When young goslings, are to be
dessed for market, they are first
stuck in the roof of the mouth with a
Jong-hlnded knife and then stunned
by hitting them a sharp, quick blow
on the head. For dry picking the
picker uses a box In front of him
about the height of the knees, holding
the bird with the left hand and clasp
ing the feet and wings together ; he
places the head of the bird against the
box and holds It In- place with the
knee. Pick the feathers from the body
of the bird, then dampen the right
hand and brush the body to remove
the down. Leave about two Inches
of, feathers on the neck, and also leave
feathers on the winirs at the first
Joint. Lay the wings against the body
of the birds and tie. a string around
to - hold in position. Pla ce the birds,
when picked, in cold water 'for an
hour or so to plump them ; if they are
in the water too long they are liable
to bleach and become water-soaked.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
World Prohibition.
1. God's Judgment Upon Israel
(w. 1-4).
X The sin . for which Israel was
Judged (v. 11. It was drunkenness,
which seems to have been a national
sin. (See Isa. 5:11, 12; 7:5; Amos
2:6, 8, 124:1; 6, 6.) Samaria's posi
tion was an enviable one. The whole
nation was proud of heh " The crown
of pride whose glorious beauty had
been so marked was fading through
the blighting effects of drunkenness.
2. The instrument by which ( the
punishment was effected (v. 2). It was
to be by the strong hand of the Assy
rians. The Imagery of Jthis verse
shows that this destruction was to be
sudden, swift and Irresistible.
Some of theevils wrought by drunk
enness: (a) Strength Is wasted by it (v. 1).
"Are overcome m with wine." Man's
manifold strength, physical, mental
and spiritual, Is soon mastered, by
strong drink, (b) Honor brought Into
the dust. "Shall be trodden under
Xeet" ( vv. 1, 3) . Just as this proud
city was humbled through Intemper
ance, so does drunkenness bring down
Into the dust those high in educa
tional. i social' and business circles,
(c) It despoils beauty , (vv. 1, 4).
"Beauty Is a fading flower." Beauty
soon departs from the form and spirit
of men and women) who indulge in the
intoxicating cup. 1 (d) Wisdom is
turned aside ( v. 7) . ."They have erred
through wine and strong drink." As
a consequence they were groping in
darkness instead of walking in the
light of the Lord.
II. The Lord's Promise to the Rem
nant (w. 5, 6).
Out of thlsawful darkness shines
a ray of brightness, for following the
destruction of the proud 'city the Lord
of Hosts Is promised for a crown of
glory to the remnant of His" people.
This .pointed forward to the coming
of- the Savior (Zech. 6 :13). Their
hopes were partially.: fulfilled at the
first coming of : the Savior but the
real fulfillment shall be when 'drunk
enness, pride and all unrighteousness
shall disappear before the glaring
light of the Sun of Righteousness
(Mai. 4:2; I Pet. 5:4).
III. The Sinfulness of Judah
(vv. 7-10). ? "
1. Drunkenness (v. 7). Judah had
also erred through strong drink. Even
their priests and prophets had fallen
through the blighting effects of wine.
It was a violation of God's law for a
priest to take wine before entering
the tabernacle. The drunkards of
both Judah and Kphraim are de
nounced. x The message is a fitting one
for this day, for the Scriptures de
clare that no drunkard shall enter the
kingdom' (I Cor. 5:11; 6:10).
2. Unnamable filth (v. 8). This de
scription shows a condition which is
deplorable indeed. Filth and drunk
enness go hand in hand. h.
3. Mockery (vv. 9, id). In addition
to their drunkenness and 'filth they
scornfully mock God's prophets. These
priests had' become so hardened by
their drunken debauchery that they
set at naught Isaiah's instructions
and scorned : God's messengers. They
questioned their , authority , and gave
back the answer of ridicule as If to
say, we are teachers, wnat do you
mean to teach us? Are we babes that
have just been weaned? You come
td us 'with your line upon line, line
upon line." They were not only un
willing to receive the message.' but
tired of the way in which it was de
livered. Not - being r willing to receive
the message, ' they complain1 of the
manner in which It Is delivered. The.
'doctrine of salvation by blood alone
is not a very popular. one; the preach
ing of the cross Is foolishness to some
(I Cor. 1:18-21; 2:14).
IV, Judah's Punishments (vv. 11-13).
The prophet replies to these drunken
scoffers that their very drunken ques
tions Should be answered by: the Lord
in Judgment I rGpd had repeatedly of
fered them rest, but they had as re
peatedly refused It ; Their scorn and
contempt are answered with the bit
