Prosperity in the South.
The financial condition of the
South is excellent, and all indications
are of the most favorable character.
The crops last year were good, and
tlie prospects, for 1909 are exceedingly
encouraging. An exchange says that
taking seven of the principal South
em crops as a standard of compari
son, it appears that the South gained
noarly $100,000,000 in 1908 as con
trasted with 1907, last year's crops
Ixdng worth so much more than those
ol' 1907. The value of the corn crop
xese from $405,485,000 in 1907 to
$T47,054,000 in 1908, wheat from
$T8,903,00e to $67,935,000, hay de
-clned from $66,787,000 to $60,649,
OC0, tobacco declined from $55,353,
0C0 to $55,256,561, oats increased
fom $25,922,000 to $33,976,000, Irish
potatoes from $20,529,000 to $23,
563,000 and rye from $1,129,000 to
$1,154,000, the totals for the two
years being $694,108,000 and $789,
613,561, respectively.
It is . stated by Ibe same authority
th?.t thc cotton crop, with: its seed,
is worth probably at least $700,000,
000 more, while the rice harvest is
pluci?d at $17,771,281, the sugar cane
yivU is appraised at $34,000,000,
making the grand aggregate for the
. tea. Southern crops not less than 1,
?542,000,000. This total must be in
crease^ by the poultry and dairy pro
ducts, by garden truck and other ag
ricultural crops, which, it is esti
mated, add perhaps $1,000,000,000 to
the wealth of the South.
With these facts andv figures in
view, it is assumed that the present
year will .be attended with much
prosperity, and that trade in the va
rious Southern states will be much
larger than for some years past.

ORIGIN
O f a Famous Human Food.
-The story of great discoveries or
inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who . found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans aad enterprises
he knew how to conduct, was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words, before he could carry out hi?
plans, he had td find a food that would
carry bim along and renew his physi
cal aad mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needod. He knew that meat with
the average man does not accomplish
the desired results. He knew that
tho soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centres is marie fron? Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. The ne started to solve
the^p/'oblem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the nov/ famous
food. It contains the brain and nervo
building food clements in condition
for e*3y digestion.
Thu result of eating Grape-Nuts
dally Is easily seen in a marked stur
diness and activity of the brain and
nervo tis system, making it a pleasure
.for one to carry on tho dally duties
.withoat fatigue or exhaust* m.
Gnpe-Nuts food is in no7 sense a
(Stimulant, but is simply food which
iren?ws and replaces the daily waste
?of brain and nerves. /
Its flavour is charming, and being
rfully ai.d thoroughly cooked at the

Modern Method* Tl
Farmer, Fruit Grow
Hints About Flowing and Cultivation.
In turning clover or any green,
crop do not aim to flop it completely |
over, but edge up the furrows. No
matter If the clov?r is not all hidden.
If lt ls turned under flat there is dan
ger that the layer of vegetation will
cut off the rise of the capillary moist
ure and the crop may Buffer in dry
weather.
Hence, I would edge up the fur
rows even if there is a good deal o>|
trash left on top. It will do no harm
there. Then determine once for all
that you will turn the turning plow
'out of the field entirely after the crop
is planted. Harrow well before it
comes up. Then use the weeder both
ways and destroy the weeds when
smai1 and save hoeing. There is no
neea for hoe or plow in the cornfield
if you work lt right
Cultivate perfectly level and shal
low and do not make furrows around
the hill to fill with water and start
gullies when they break over. Above
all, see that the plowing is deep and
that a bed of loose soil ls made to re
tain the water and not let it r*i
down hill. If all our hills on the
Piedmont country were plowed and
subsoiled a foot or more in all; there
would never be any need for a terrace
if when the land was broken there
was always some dead vegetation to
turn under to hold the soil together.
It is shallow plowing and the lack
of humus-making material that have
made terraces necessary. The good
farmer will soon be able to dispense
with them, as he will dispense with
the purchase of nitrogen for his crops.
Good plowing and shallow and level
cultivation will go a long way toward
that getting of $500 more a year
from the soil.- In fact, I believe that
with the great awakening in farming
in the South we are going to haye
several times that $500 on Southern
farms.
Then, too, do not be beguiled Into
stunting your crops of corn or cotton.
Stunting the growth of a plant can
never do any good. What the crop
needs ls plant food in the soil and
good, clean cultivation and no tearing
of the roots with a plow or sweep
stock. Level and shallow cultivation
is just as important with the cotton
crop, too, ar with the corn crop, for
the roots of both run far and wide
across the rows.
Then do not walk four times
through every row, but get a two
horse cultivator and ride through
once and leave( the row better culti
vated. Save the human labor wher
ever you can. The weeder "will save
as much in the cotton crop as in the
corn field. Run both ways, it will
break the crust and kill the little
weeds and you will only have to hoe
to a stand. The hoe- has been well
called* the most expensive tool on the
farm, for every hoe needs a man, and
one man with a weeder can do more
thar ten men v 'th hoes.
In one section where the farmers
have pretty well aba .doned the ridg
ing up of their corn in laying by I
found the same men hilling up their
tobacco, which needed lt no more
than the corn. When you cannot get
dose to the tobacco with a mule, a
garden rake will clean it faster and
better than a hoe if the weeds were
not allowed to get a strong start.
More mule work and less hand
work should be the aim of every
Southern farmer, making machines
take the place of human hands.-Pro
fessor Massey.
Must Have pastures Growing Things.
If the South is to have pastures
that will produce sufficient feed for
live stock to make the business profit
able, there are a few errors common
among us which must be avoided.
We have often insisted on the ne-,
cesslty for the pastures being real
pastures. That is, that the growth
of other than forage plants be pre
vented, and that forage plants of
known value be planted and made to
grow. Otherwise we shall have no
pasture. But something more is nec
essary to success. After we have
gone to the expense of clearing up old
fields and putting in forage plants, it
should be plain to any one that these
plants should be allowed to get a
start and make some considerable
growth before being grazed, and that
at no time should more stock be
put on a pasture than the regular
growth of forage will amply feed.
We generally put twice as many ani
mals on a pasture as it will graze
properly. It is also a fact that our
pastures are usually overrun with
weeds, briers and bushes, while grr^
is scarce. The reason is not difficult
to find. Nothing is done to keep i
down the weed, while the grass and !
other forage plants are kept eaten <
close to the ground. The forage i
plants don't get a fair chance. They
are not only prevented from making 1
a.vigorous growth by being eaten off i
close to the ground, but they are i
smothered by the weeds and other j 1
useless plants. Under such condi- i

tlons is it any wonder that the weeds
run out the forage plants, and that a
pasture with us is so frequently "'a
place where grass does not grow?"
Briefly, then, If we want to get a
part of that $500 more a year by
grazing live stock, let us first clean
up our idle lands, fence them and
plant forage crops, then keep down
the weeds for a few months and
finally turn on them such live stock
as will he amply supplied with a con
stant growth of forage.
Provide the feed before getting the
live.stock, hut when you have the
feed then give it to the sort of live
stock that will pay the most for what
they consume.-Southern Cultivator.
Shallow CnTvtivation is Best.
Even in land broken only four or
five inches deep, the roots of corn, for
instance, go down much farther, and
In loose, alluvial soils go to the depth
of three or four feet' hut in all soils
by far the greater numher of feeding
roots are to he lound in the top six
inches, or that w!alch has been broken
and cultivated. It, therefore, follows
that cultivating as deep as three
inches, after the crop has made any
considerable growth, must injure to
a great extent the roots of the plants, j
Since three Inches ls the depth best
suited for conserving moisture, some
of tho injury done In breaking the
roots when the corn crop is cultivated
three inches deep, is probably com
pensated for by the greater amount of
moisture saved for the use of the
crop.
In wet weather we feel quite cer
tain more shallow cultivation would
be better. In fact, in damp weather
there seems to oe considerable evi
dence to show that to merely keep tlu
weeds down is all that is necessary.
In dry weather the roots probably go
deeper, and since about three-inch
cultivation saves most moisture, prob
ably somewhere near that, but not
deeper, is the best depth to cultivate
when moisture ls scarce. Of course,
root cutting will do most harm when
there is lack of moisture; therefore,
as a general rule, probably the crops
should not he cultivated more than
two inches deep any time during the
latter stages of their growth. There
fore, the turning plow, or any other
implement which goes deeper than
'rom one and one-half to two and one
half inches is injurious to the crop
and is unnecessary if the proper
methods of preparation and cultiva
tion have been followed. While the
plants are small, grass and weeds
must be kept down or serious in*
Jury to the crop will result; but after
the crop has made considerable
growth and filled the soil with its
roots, the breaking; of these roots by
a cultivation such as ls necessary to
kill a heavy growth of grass, may do
more harm to the crop than would
the grass. This again calls attention
tc the necessity for frequent cultiva
tion, when the plants are small, and
when it can be done cheapest, In cr
ier to prevent "getting in the grass"
md making necessary deep cultiva
tion after the roots of the crops have
ailed the soil.
There ls still another reason for
shallow, frequent and early cultiva
tion, which is generally overlooked
by the average farmer. Most weeds
ire small and only germinate and
grow when brought near the surface
of the ground. If the ground be
stirred often, but only to shallow
iepth, all the weed seeds in the top
soil quickly germinate and are killed.
A.fter that is accomplished it ls much
sasier to keep the crop clean. Deep
titivation, on the other hand, brings
ap a fresh supply of weed and grass
seeds to produce a fresh crop. Shal- j
low cultivation can be done three I
times as often, especially while the '
crop is young, because it can be done
three times as fast and at one-third
the expense, and at the same time
brings about conditions which result
in a small crop of weeds and kills
those that do come when it can be j
lone easiest. In none of the affairs i
of life is the old adage, '.a stitch in j
time saves nine," more clearly true
than in the killing of grass ard weeds
in our crops.-Progressive Farmer, j

THE PULPIT.
A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
PROF. HENRY <?. NASH, D. D.
: Theme: In God's .Likeness.
. Brooklyn, N. Y.-In Holy Trinity,
Sunday morning, the Rev. Henry S.
Nash, D. D., of Cambridge, Mass.,
was the preacher. A very large con
gregation was present. U Dr. Nash's
subject was, "In God's Likeness."
The text was from Psalms 17:15:
".When I awake in Thy likeness I
shall be satisfied." He said:
It seemR to me that one of. the
happy elements IQ the. life of our time
regarding spiritual questions is this:
That so many honest, earnest men
and women find uhemselves unable to
believe in personal immortality. I
say that that to me is one of the hope
ful signs of our generation, for how
ever -deep may be our personal pity
for them, who through honest doubt
! have lost that wliiich means so much
! to us, yet as a sign of the -times it is a
! sign of extreme hope because students
of church history cannot doubt for a
moment that the belief in the world to
come has been -tragically vulgarized,
that upon that belief in the life be
yond the craft of priesthood has built
up an immense body of superstition
that appeals to the-very; opposite in
the hearts and souls of men, and who,
therefore, If he be a student of his
tory, can doubt that God Himself, the
living God who holds in His hands the
reins of history, that It is the living
God Himself Who inspires- the honest,
earnest, doubts end questionings of
an increasing body of honorable men
and women of our day touching the
belief of immortality, and the great
good He is teaching to the church is
this: that God through that doubt is
bringing His church to book, and is
teaching His churcn to start where
the prophet started, and not to. put
the cart before the horse, and not to
argue for personal immortality before
they have laid the foundation upon
which that argument should be built.
And every Christian to-day who
thinks, and to whom personal immor
tality is the very breath of his dally
life says to us, and every Christian
who thinks agrees with the men and
women who doubt or deny personal
.immortality, that h?re is where we
all start, whether inside the church or
outside; here, I say, is' where we
start; the one thing that we all hold
ourselves responsible ?or is good
housekeeping, good housekeeping
here upon earth, and in time, in
space. But what do we mean by
housekeeping? And the: problem ls
how to keep one's loyalty .to life vig
orous, recreative and s?lf-renewlng
when life brings upon us increasing
burdens of responsibility and disap
I pointments' and cares and pain and
death. How to be loyal to life! That
is the test, and by it the church of
Christ is content to stand. By her
ability to answer that question she
would test her theology and her creed
and her sacraments.
L-?t us take a parable from the apple
tree. The apple tree, is waiting just
now confidently for the springtime.
We thoroughly doubt and deny that
old saying that "One swallow does not
make a summer." The philosopher
and the man of common sense have
always affirmed that as if it were an
ultimate truth regarding life. What
a wretched, narrow, perverted, strick
en world It would be if the philos
opher and the theologian controlled
this world; if there was not a poet
and a prophet in it! The apple tree
would say, if it knew a little history,
"Well, I am inclined to think that the
agnostic and the infallible theologian
are twins." And it is only because the
church has set up the infallible theo
logian as the teacher of the world
that now the layman is putting the
theologian into his place, that now
the layman's work has created the
dogma of the agnostic in order to
counterweigh and overcome the dog
ma of the infallible. I. know just a
very little about God, but without
that little I could not live and with
out that little I could not look for
ward to comfortably standing on the
edge of spring, I could not look for
ward confidently to my great task and
joy and privilege to bud andieaf and
blossom and fruit. And the parable
when we translate lt Into prose would
come down to this: how to be loyal
to life. First of all, we must be un
conquerably strong, strong.
And what shall the kind of our
strength bc? Two kinds - the
strength to do and the strength to
bear. And of the two, the strength
to bear is the greater, because the
strength simply to do ls always beset
by temptation/to vanity and to ego
tism.
A preacher knows that he ls never
In such deadly peril of egotism as
when he is preaching, the mere joy
of preaching, of the utterance of ex
pression.
The preacher who knows his own
conscience knows that he is never at
any time so near to the devil as when
he is in the pulpit, and all of us know
that if you take a man of force, some
man who wields a tremendous busi
ness power, and if one dared to bet
on such a tragic thing one would
wager 100 to 1 that that man behind
his own door Is a tyrant, a tyrant be
cause the intoxication of power has
gone to his head.
But when it comes to strength In
bearing there is no allusion there.
When God has given us our burden
. of pain, disillusionment and disap
pointment, and when by His grace
and the sweet companionship of the
Saviour we have learned to so bear
our burdens that nobody but Ged
ever knows what lt is, to so bear it ?
that the burden in our hearts is
known only to God and not even to
our. dearest friends and closest kin,
there ls no illusion about that; no
egotism about that.
It is just as the college boy would
cay, "to stand and take it." That is
the kind or strength that ls pure
strength; and the problem of life is
?ow to become strong to do and
equally strong- to bear the burdens
that life imposes.
As the little candle is little brother
to the sun, so aspiration of self
knowledge and self-mastery to us, If
one may so speak-the little brother
of God, the Infinite and the eternal,
and we can be strong to bear and
strong to do, because we have God
eternal in our hearts to give us .the
needed endurance.
And when we have gone so far,
what are we to say as we look'
through doubt and difficulty at the
great question of immortality? What
do we say? If we have disencum
bered our minds both of infallibility
and agnosticism, if we have cleared
the ship's deck, then, like a ship in
the navy, we are ready for action,
saying: "Grant me a safe passage
through death and a holy rest and
grant me that when I have crossed
the great divide I may awaken after
Thy eternal likeness and be satisfied."
The devil knows a lot more about
the attractiveness of the Old Testa
ment than some modern preachers do,

Tl ME.-A. D. 52. PLACE.-Thes
saloi ica and Berea.
E: [POSITION.-L Pjml in Thes
saloiica, 1-9. Paul.had at this time
a quit, uniform v "de of procedure.
First, he began with the Jews at their
regu ar place of tweeting, the syna
gogue (ccmp. vs. 10, 17; ch. 9.20;
13.5; 14.1; 16:4; 19-8). Second,
he rr ade use of the Sabbath day, the
reguiar Jewish day of assembly. Those
already Christians met on the first
day c f the week for their own distinc
tive cervices (Acts 20:7). But in or
der v.o reach the Jews, Paul wisely
mad; use of their day, as missionaries
amoig the Jews still do. Third, he
reas ?ned with them from the Scrip
tures. Nothing else has the power to
convince, convict, convert and regen
erate men than the Word of God has
(Eph. 6.1?; Jcr. 23:29r 2 Tim. 3:15
17; las. 1:18; 1 Pet. 1:23; Luke
8:11>. There were three principal
pointi in Paul's preaching: (1) The
Christ must suffer. The Old Testa
ment is full of this doctrine. (See,
for example, Isa. 53). Why the
Christ must suffer we see in.Isa. 53^
6; Matt. 26:28; Heb. 9:22; Jno. 19:
,36, 37. (2) The Christ must rise
again from the dead. This, too, he
proved from the Cid Testament, as
Peter did, on Pentecost. (3) That
"this Jesus whom I proclaim unto
you, is the Christ." There are many
In these days who wish to substitute
some other Jesus for the one whom
Paul preached; some Jesus of their
own conception or fancy, and not the
actuaJ historic Jesus. This Jesus be
ing the Christ it is of the highest im
portance that we accept Him. If we
do not, an awful weight of guilt rests
upon us (Acts 2-34-37; 3:22, 23).
Paul sets an example in what he
preached worthy of all imitation by
modern missionaries and preachers.
Politics in Thcssalonica were in a bad
enou?h way, but Paul went at the
root of things. God blessed this kind
of preaching. "Some of them be
lieved ' (cf. 1 Thess. 1:5). This is
the usual result when the pure Gospel
ls preached in the power of the Holy
Ghost. In an epistle which Paul
wrote to them later we get a very
charming picture of them (1 Thess.
1:6-10). Those who believed threw
In their lot with Paul and Silas. True
converts always seek the society of
other Christians. But the Goppel
caused division as well as union .in
Thessalonika; union of believers, di
vision between believers and the
world. Paul's success aroused the
envy pf the Jews. Every successful
preacher must expect to be envied of
smaller man There was much truth
In the ctu-ge brcught against Pa.ul
and Silas., No ?ther man ever did as
much to turn the world upside down
as this man Paul There is great
need to-day of preachers, who turn
things other side up. They accused
Paul, too, of "saying that th ?re is an
other King, one Jesus." Yes, Paul
said that, and it needs to be said
again and again to those who see no
king but some king of this earth.
Some day all must own His kingship
.(Ps. 2:8-12). But while Paul said
there was another kln?? he sought to
turn no man from his duty to Caesar
(Acts 2:5:8; Rom. 13:1-7). The per
secution did not go very far yet (v.
S). The converts were young and
God will not suffer any of His chil
dren, to be tempted above that which
they are able to bear (1 Cor. 10:13,
E.V.).
II. Paul In Berea, 10-12. The
departure of Paul and Silas from
Thessalonica was no mark of coward
Ice, but simule prudence and in ac
cordance with the specific directions
of Chrhit (Matt. 10:23). The church
did not go to pieces upon his, depart
ure (1 Thess. 1:3-6). Paul did .not
lose his interest In the converts he
left behind him (1 Thess. 2:18, 19;
3:1, 2, 5-7). As soon as Paul and
Silas reached Berea they at once be
gan preaching again, and to the Jews
at that. No matter how Paul and Si
las might be treated at one place, the
next town they struck they went at
preaching again (comp. 1 Thess. 2:2;
Acts 14.5-7). No one ever had a bet
ter patent to nobility than these Be
reans. Their nobility is seen in two
things. First, "they received the
Word with all readiness of mind."
They had a hunger for the,truth, the
Word of God (comp. Job 23:12; .Ter.
15:16; ch. 2:41). They opened their
mouths wide to receive it. Some peo
ple will receive the truth >.when you
compel them to. Lovers of the truth
are hungry for it. The Word of God
ls worthy of such reception (Prov. 8:
10). Thus received it brings salva
tion, and blessings (Jas. 1:21; 1 Pet.
2 2). Woe to the one/who does not
receive It. (2 Thess. 2:10-12). Sec
ond, "they searched (or examined)
the Scriptures daily, whether those
things were so." They wanted to be
sure that they had the mind of God
about it, and the Scriptures were the
final authority. They were model Bi
!ble students. (1) They studied the
Scriptures as the Word of God. (2)
They examined (R. V.) them. No
mere suporficial scurrying over them.
(3) They were systematic and regular
in their study, they examined the
Scripture j daily. (4) They studied
with a definite purpose, and that the
highest, to find out the truth about
the Chris!, to find if the thing? Paul
and Silas taught about Him "were

THE BEST REMEDY FOR SORES.
"Salem, Va.-Hancock's Sulphur Com
pound ia the teat remedy I have ever used
in my family for sorts. One of my little
boys, eight years old, had a solid sore all
over his face; we tried different kinds bf
medicine, but none seemed to do any good.
Our son, nineteen years old, had a sore on
his leg for three months, and nothing did
him any good. We used Hancock's Sul
phur Compound on both, and it did its
work quickly, and it was not over a week
until both were well.

"For several yenrs my husband was a
missionary in the Southwest. Every one in
that high and dry atmosphere has more or

I was alarmed for fear she would lose all
her hair. After trying various remedies, in
desperation I bought a cake of Cuticura
Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment.
They left the scalp beautifully clean and
free from dandruff and I am happy to say
that the Cuticura Rem?dies were a com
