NTOMnONAL SllMSOIBOL 1 LESSON (By EL O. SELLERS. Acting Director of Sunday School Course, Toe Moody Bible Institute, Chic&so. 111.) LESSON FOR MAY 9 FRIENDSHIP OF DAVID AND JON ATHAN. WESSON TEXT-I Samuel 20:32-41 GOLDEN TEXT A friend loveth at all 41mes.-Pror. 11:17. There Is perhaps no narrative in all history or literature which so perfect ly illustrates the conditions of friend ship as this which is before us. Jon athan was every inch a man; affection ate, sweet and tender, deeply pious and withal loyal to both duty and friends. His rights, as the king's son. he gladly set aside'for David, whom he "loved as his own soul" (ch. 18:3; 20:17). Jonathan Is a great type of the surrendered life (ch. 23:17). I. David's Danger, w. 32-35. Three times In the previous chapter (vv. 5, 14. 30) we read that David "behaved himself wisely." "Saul eyed David" (v. 19) and his Jealous anger grew as he gave vent to his hate. Jonathan's desires for David drew the anger of Saul (20:30), but it only put him more upon his guard and made him more de termined, if possible, to save both David and Saul. Following David's escape (18:18) he consulted Jonathan regarding his Bafety (20.1-10). They renewed their covenant and swore fealty to each other and to those of their house holds (vv. 11-17). It is a standing" re buke that Christians treat so lightly tholr covenants with the church and with the world. David was safe at Naioth (19:18-24), for each company 3ent after him, and Saul himself, were hindered by the Spirit of Jehavah from carrying out Saul's foul designs. This seemed for the moment to humble Saul (20:1; Ps. 97:1). Jonathan, though great and mighty, was not strong enough to deliver his friend from the renewed wrath of his father. "Vain is the help of man." "Our help is in the Lord." Jonathan showed his true friendship in that he told the ex act state of affairs to David (v. 10). When Saul became convinced that Jonathan was taking David's part, he tried to kill Jonathan and reviled the mother who bore him (v. 30). In his loss of self-control Saul allowed David to escape. Even so, sin overshoots its mark. The contrast is a dark one to contemplate. II. David Delivered, v v. 36-42. Jon athan did not revile again (v. 34) when insulted and assailed by his father, and his manifestation of Just anger (for his mother was reviled) was quite different from that of his father. Any attempt to reconcile Saul to Da vid (v. 34) was a useless exposure to danger and for Jonathan to be seen with hip friend would imperil his own life. This explains the expedient of shooting arrows In the field. Jonathan shot bis arrows "beyond," i. e., David must go "beyond" and out of the reach of Saul. David trusted Jonathan's fidel ity (v. 23) when the test came, though Jonathan might have good reason for playing him false in order to promote his own interests. Dismissing the boy, Jonathan drew near to David's hiding place, to the south of the stone Ezel (v. 41 R. V.). where a most touching parting took place between these two friends. First of all David bowed ceremoniously three times, touching his head to the ground, perhaps to show his unshaken loyalty to Jonathan as the king's son. This was but for a moment; as men of the East and friends, they rushed to each other's arms and wept for a long time. These were the. manly tears of two brave men not afraid to show their love and emotions. It has been suggested that Jonathan should have accompanied David as God's elect (Heb. 13:13), but we feel that duty bade him to remain by the side of his sin-stricken father. The Lessons of the Lesson. True friendship costs. God's love gave to the world his Son. Jonathan's friend ship for David was costly, but was given gladly, not grudgingly. True friendship neither forgets duty nor neglects its desire towards the object of its love. It is not governed emotion ally, yet it disregards all other ties, If they are wrong. Not even a father or mother should lead us to wrong a friend. When David came into power he remembered the everlasting cove nant made with Jonathan (II Sam. 9:5). Our "Son of David" has made a similar covenant with us ( Acts "M: 31; 2:39). True friendship is of slow growth, but is not easily killed, chilled by reverses, nor frozen by ad versity (Prov. 18:24). True friendship is unselfish, it gives and does not ' seek. True friendship Is founded upon re liglon and the best friend, the ideal friend, is Jesus Christ. .That friendship which is based upon oaths, ritual and dues, is not abiding, nor true friendship, for it excludes all who. fail to possess the same pass word or a sufficient amount of money. That friendship which is based upon expediency, or a quid pro quo, is by no means true friendship; it is as ephemeral as tho morning mist and wt frail as a chain of sand. The friendship which has as its com mon center God's best boon, the friend ship of his Son, will, if It is true and genuine, abide forever. Today will be observed by many schools as "Mother's day." 1 r COWPEA IS VALUABLE LEGUMINOUS CROP Cowpea Plant, 8howlng Ripe Pods. (Prepared by the United States Depart- mnt of Agriculture.) Any system of agriculture which does not include some leguminous crops will ultimately lessen the pro ductivity of the soil and make neces sary the purchase at considerable ex pense of fertilizers containing nitro gen. On the other hand, the proper use of leguminous crops will maintain or even increase productivity. At the present time the cowpea is probably the most valuable legume for the cot ton belt It is to the South what red clover is to the North and alfalfa to the West. Not only does the cowpea benefit the soil by adding nitrogen to it, but it can be made to supply southern mar kets with much of the hay which is now shipped in from the North and West. Thus it aids in the production of live stock, without which it is im possible to secure the maximum re turns from any farm. These facts have been familiar to progressive fanners for years, but the high price of seed in the past pre vented as widespread a. use of the crop as was desirable!1 Improved ma chinery, however, has now done much to remove this difficulty and may well do more in the future. When harvest ed for seed, the crop should be cut with a mower or self-rake reaper when half or more of the pods are ripe. After it has become thoroughly dry, it may be thrashed ' with an ordinary grain separator, with some modifica tions, with a two-cylinder cowpea thrasher, or with a one-cylinder spe cial machine which a number of in genious devices make the most satis factory of all. Exclusive of the crop's value in im proving the soil, cowpeas are most useful as hay. Good cowpea hay has a high percentage of digestible protein nearly four times that of timothy hay and as a feed is very nearly as valuable as alfalfa or wheat bran. When it includes a fair number of ripe peas it has been found satisfac tory when fed alone to stock at work, and can be used very successfully as a maintenance ration for horses, mules, cattle, sheep and even hogs When corn and cottonseed meal are high priced, experiments Indicate that cow pea hay can be substituted to ad vantage. In the production of milk and butter It appears that one and one fourth pounds of chopped pea hay is equivalent to a pound of wheat bran and three pounds to one of cotton seed meal Splendid results ' are also obtained from feeding the Wed, either whole or in broken pieces, to poultry, though at the prices that have hither to prevailed this is scarcely prac ticable. In the production of cowpea hay difficulty is sometimes experienced in curing the large growth of succulent vines. , For this reason cowpeas are frequently grown in mixtures, a prac tice which makes the curing much easier. Sorghum is a favorite crop fpr this purpose and its use usually results In Increasing the yield of hay consid erably. Millet, soy beans and John son grass are also used. At present, however, cowpeas are most frequently grown with corn, since the farmer secures in this way a corn crop, sufficient seed for the next season, and either a hay crop or a certatn amount of grazing for his stock. On many dairy farms the cow pea is grown with corn in order to make ensilage, for which it has proved excellent. Though it is sometimes ad visable, the use of cowpeas for pas ture is not, as a rule, the best farm practice. Unless care is exercised, bloating, especially In bad weather, may result. The small expense In volved Is a powerful inducement, and when the hay is grown with corn it is frequently grazed by hogs. Detailed Information in regard to the planting and harvesting of the crop is contained in farmers' bulletin 318, "Cowpeas," of the department of agriculture, which will be sent free on request. The bulletin also dis cusses the merits of the various va rieties, and suggests the use of the crop in some one of the following ro tations: ; ' (a) Cotton, three years; corn and cowpeas fourth year, and then cotton again. This is all right on the better soils of the South, but the cotton should be planted only two years in succession on the poorer soils. (b) Wheat or oats with cowpeas each season after the removal of the grain crop, the land being seeded to grain in the fall, making two crops a year from the same land. (c) Cotton, first year; corn and cow peas, second year; winter oats or wheat, followed by cowpeas as a catch crop, third year, and then cotton again.

FEED COTTONSEED TO HOGS Hoard's Dairyman Says No Uniformly Successful Method of Feeding Has Yet Been Found. In response to the query "What ex perience have you had in feeding cooked cottonseed to hogs and young pigs?" Hoard's Dairyman makes the following reply: We have had no experience in feed ing cooked cottonseed, nor do we re call any experimentation along this line. No uniformly successful method of feeding cottonseed or cottonseed meal to swine has yet been found. The poisonous effect of cottonseed meal is said to be due to Its content of pyro phosphoric acid, which is developed when the seed Is subjected to great heat Reasoning along this line we would be inclined to believe that cooked cottonseed would not prove a safe feed for pigs. However, the Louisiana station states that its ex periments do not uphold thU theory, and that the poisonous effect of the cottonseed is due to some other factor whose virulence is decreased by heat ing. The seed is held to be more pois onous than the meal. It Is probably safe to feed cottonseed meal when It does not constitute more than one fifth to a quarter of the grain ration and is fed at this rate for not more than thirty davs. SUBSOILING MAY BE HARMFUL Increase in Yield Does Not Pay for Work Done Bad Practice to Advocate, Says Expert. (Ry O O CHUBCHILL, Oklahoma Ex periment Station.) The practice of subsoiling is receiv ing a good many notices in the press at this time. It Is advocated par ticularly on tight soils and under drought conditions. A good many of the stations in dif ferent parts of the United States have conducted many experiments to deter mine the benefit derived from this practice Very seldom, if ever, does the" increase in yield pay for the work done, and we, therefore, advise against subsoiling under most condi tions. In some cases subsoiling may even be harmful. We have been unable to find any rec ords indicating that subsoiling will pay. It seems to us, therefore, to be a bad practice to advocate, even it in theory it does sound well. Subsoiling is usually performed by an implement made of a straight blade with a shoe on the bottom. This Im plement Is run 'in the bottom of the furrow and follows immediately after an ordinary plow. It does not turn the soil, but merely loosens it It takes as much power to pull the subsoil plow as it does an ordinary plow. Silo Saves Doctor's Bills. Silage makes the very best winter pasture for live stock and brings about more nearly than anything else summer conditions. The farmer with a good supply of silage will have lit tie need for the veterinarian. When a pit silo can be had at a cost of fifteen to twenty dollars, each farmer should have one. Menace to Dairy Business. The breeder who multiplies defects and perpetuates scrubby pedigreed stock Js a worse menace to the, dairy business than the man who keeps scrubs under their true colors. NO PLACE FOR SPENDTHRIFT. A spendthrift in the world's busy whirl never makes on real friend j or commands the respect of anyone, j not even-his own particular kind. He i is of no practical benefit to the com munity, and in reality he is bat a menace to society. A spendthrift eventually develops into that class ho cinnot meet their bills. But this is to be expected they really can't help it; it is the natural order of things ; nature will out in every thing, and bad habits are the hard est thing in the world from which to break away. The time comes when their money is spent, they can't break the habit of extravagance, and they become a continual credit loss to the grocer, the butcher and the baker, and you, the hard working toiler, must stand the burden of their perfidy. , F u a 4) 'S" Q C e P n f j c SOUNDS LIKE IT. man whose She "Gravce married head is 6olid ivory."
