How the Farmer Is Thinking.
The farmer's story is about like
this: "I lost money In 1920 due to
high cost of seed, farm machinery,
fertilizers, labor and everything else.
When I was ready to sell my crops I
found that the prices of the things I
raised had gone down overnight. But
I knew Jt was coming. Food is the
thing people buy the most of and the
price of food had to come down before
wages could be adjusted. And
I suppose the price slide might as well
start with me as any place. While
I lost ihoney in 1920 I find when I average
things up that the last five
| years, Including 1920, have made more
1 money for than any other five
years I can refflhnber, and I hope the
next five are Jdst.as good. Whether
they ore or not Is up to me. I believe
hustling l&he answer, so watch
my dust."
Merchant'sKlea of Things.
The merchantB not outdone in this
spirit of optlmi^Snd his reply to inquiry
is this: I went Into red
figured orrrtu^^^ustment of prices
January first. But| what of It? So
did everybody elset The farmer, of
course, get It fhttj and I am sorry.
He has had a bafd row, but if he
will average the Jast five years the
same as I, he wllb'decide that fortune
has been pretty l(lnd to him. We are
not saying much about our losses because
the ottya&Lfellow has his own
troubles which are enough without
listening to our tale of woe. The
thing to do Is to forget the experiences
of the last few years and get to work
in harmony with the new order of
things. Resentment and harsh words
won't accomplish anything, and there
is no occasion for either. We have
had our fun and now we are paying
the piper."

These statements from the farmer, jj
the merchant, the manufacturer are
not imaginary. Each is a composite rehearsal
of the. story told to us by each a
class In our recent trade survey. They
represent the view point of the aver- ^
age American. No time wasted in
vuin regrets, but a frank admission v
that readjustment Is a necessary evil,
and on It everyone Is due to lose. *
The pluck, nerve and good sense c
which have always been the predoml- G
nating characteristics of the good ^
sound American are more In evidence
now than ever, and the man or worn- n
an, who right now Is defiant In any a
one of them, is just naturally out of r
luck. Thut's all. The country Is as a
sound as a nut?Is not going to the Y

Work in relation to God has a dlferent

ontinued activity directed to some

neans manual labor.
I. Mighty Worko Wrought by Jesus
Mark G:l-3).
As God's obedient servant, Jesus
energetically gave himself up to His
vcrk.
1. Teaching in the synagogue (v. 2).
["his He did on the Sabbath day. He
ould let no opportunity to do good
lass.
2. The result of His teaching (vv.
!, 3). (1) The people were astonished,
n their astonishment they asked
[uestions: (a) From whence hath this
an these things? (b) What wisdom
s given unto Him? (c) Is not this
he carpenter? (d) Are not His sisers
with us? That His wisdom and
ower were superhuman, they could
lot doubt. The only answer to their
[uestions Is Christ's absolute Deity.
(2) The people were offended (v. 3).
Cot being able to answer their own
[uestions and to believe their own
yes and ears, they rejected Him.
this rejection was not because they
;new Him too well, but because they
;new Him not at all. His countrynen
judged Him by His brothers, sisers,
and father, and therefore failed
o know Him. If people were to Judge
esus on the basis of His own claims
nd upon what He did, they could not
lelp but believe on Him.
II. "My Father Worketh Hitherto,
nd I Work" (John 5:17).
Tociic hnri nn the Snhhnth rlflv
ealed an impotent man. They sought
o kill Him for this good deed, and
.'hen He linked himself with God in
his they more earnestly sought to
ill Him. They tried to kill Him beause
He made himself equal with
lod. The special points of equality
-ith God were:
1. Giving life to the dead. No huian
being has ever been able to raise
nother from the dead. The Jews
Ightly interpreted His claim to being
ble to raise the dead as a claim to
>elty.
2. Judging mankind. No human belg
Is wise enough to judge bis fellow
eing. Christ's claim to be the judge
f mankind they interpreted to be His
lalm to Deity, and they were correct.
III. The Mrfn Who Will Not Work
hould Not Eat (II These. 3:6-13).
There had developed among the
hristlans at Thessalonica a tendency
) idleness. Some were neglecting
beir lawful earthly callings?even to
tie extent that they were becoming a
harge to the church. From the con?xi
of the Thessnlonian epistles it
ould seem that this serious condlion
was the result of wrong views
oncerning the second cording of
Christ. Such as this is wholly wrong
nd absolutely contrary to the signlflonce
of "the blessed hope." The atItude
of those possessing an intelgent
view of the Lord's coming as
lught by Christ and the apostles, Is
nniest attention to the present duty.
Occupy till I come," is Christ's
harge. Speculative star-gazers have
rought this precious doctrine into
lsrepute. Unceasing fidelity to all
lie responsibilities of the present is
he correct attitude of those who are
raiting for the Son from heaven. To
orrect this wrong, Paul?
1. Asserts his authority to com and
(v. 6). This authority was
Jven him by Christ
2. Commands them to withdraw
rom those who thus walk disorderly
v. 6).
Those who are neglecting their lawul
occupations for star-gazing should
e disfellowshlpped from the church.
nf *Hapq whn nnccncd In toll I pptipp
rith reference to the blessed hope of
he Lord's return tnke cognizance of
he disorderly conduct of those who
re Idly speculating about these things.
3. Paul's example (vv. 7-9). Paul
ressed with great earnestness the
oetrine of the Lord's return, and yet
onslsteutly continued in his lawful
ailing. In order to not be chargeable
nto thera he labored with great
arnestness night and day. When righty
understood, the teaching of.(Christ
nd the apostles concerning the Loin's
eturn becomes a powerful incentive to
uithfulness in the discharge* of duty.
4. Those who will not work should
ot eat (v. 10). This is the right
rinciple upon which to base ail works
f charity. It is the efficient cure for
auperism. The right economic order
as as its foundation principle: Work
j order to eut. This should apply
a all classes, rich and pool*.
5. Busybodies exhorted (vv. 11, 12).
die men and women always become
usybodies. Paul's exhortation is that
liey with quietness work and eut their
wn bread.

DISINFECTING DOES NOT KILL
Pointing Roosts and Dropping Boards
of No Value in Destroying
Chicken Parasites.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There have beeii muuy advoeutes of
the theory that chicken lice can l>e
killed by painting the roosts and dropping
boards or the whole interior qf
the poultry house with various oil mixtures,
the idea being that the vapors
or gases arising from these points

fowls and kill the lice. This method
has been given r very extensive trial
by specialists of the United States De- '
pnrtnient of Agriculture, and not one
of the 42 different preparations tested
was found to be of any value. These
preparations contained one or more of

"the following ingredients: Phenols, tar
oils, hydrocarbon oils, creosote oil,
carbon disulphid, wood-tar distillate,
benzol, nitrobenzene, naphthalene, anthracene
oil, and pyridine.
In these experiments the roosts and
dropping boards or the whole Interior
of the house were thoroughly painted
or sprayed Just before the fowls went
to roost, and all doors, windows, and
ventilators were closed during the first.
night Five badly Infested fowls wer?
used In each test, and at the end of
one week examination was made for
living lice. Although an occasional
dead louse was found on the dropping
ooarus, id no case was rne treatment
of any practical value. Since many
of these preparations were found to

In small boxes, It Is apparent that the
Ineffectiveness of' house treatment is
due to the fact that the fumes do not
become concentrated enough to kill the i
lice. Tests were also made with llmesulphur.applied.In

GIVE CHICKENS FftEE RANGE
Growing Fowls Are Enabled to Obtain
Quantities of Bugs, Worms,
Green Feed, Etc. v
When the garden crops have reached
maturity or are far enough developed
to suffer little damage from chickens
the flock should be given free range.
There are times in late summer and
early fall when the benefit received
by the poultry will exceed the slight
Injury some garden products may Incur.
Free range enables growing chickens
to obtain quantities of green feed,
bugs, worms and other things. The
chickens therefore require less grain
and are less liable to sickness or disease.
Exercise and ability to range
for even a few hours a day Is beneficial
to a flock that has been kept
In confinement during spring and earlysummer.
CONTROL OF LICE AND MITES
Dust Sath Will Aid Materially, but
Should Not Be Depended
Upon Entirely.
While It is well to provide a good
dust bath for chickens. It cannot be
depended upon for louse and mite
control, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. It
is far better to eradicate the pests
completely. The main difficulty about
depending upon dust butbs is that
some fowls seldom, dust themselves,
and those which dust freely never
completely free themselves of Ice. The
dust JyUh should be kept under cover
and may consist of fine road dust witb
coal ashes added.
WATCH HATCHING DUCK EGGS
Care Must Be Taken That Empty
Shells Do Not Telescope over
Eggs Just Pipped.
When hatching duck eggs under a j
hen, watch the eggs while ducklings v f
are hatching and remove empty shells
from the nest at once. Sometimes
empty shells* telescope over eggs Just
pipped, causing the death of the un- <"
hatched duckling. If the hen is at all
nervous and Inclined to tramp on the
ducklings, it is well to remove them,
us soon as hatched to a warm lined
basket until all are hatched.
Sickly Fowl Is Worthless.
It is far more important to remove
the cause when the fowls become
roupy und diseased than to doctor your
stock. A seriously sick fowl Is a
worthless one.
Main Requirements.
Fowls do not need to be continually
"doped" with stimulating food or
drugs. Pure food, exercise and goodi
care are the main requirements.
