litis is a most favorable season for
the building of silos upon the farm,
and it should be done wherever a Con
siderable amount of slock is carried or
green crops raised. Nothing has ever
been invented that is so useful for the
saving of green food for the feeding of
stock as the silo. In fact, the means
of preserving ensilage Is of the greatest
practical Interest to every farmer,
stock breeder and dairyman in the
country, ami is of commanding impor
tance to the agricultural world. This
process of preserving vegetation Is far
more economical than the saving of
hay or the growing of corn. The silo
furnishes the means of laying by an
abundance of forage for season of
drought. More cattle can be support
edetl from a given acreage of land by
the use of ensilage than in any other
way, and the quantity of manure can
be proportionately increased. The
word ensilage originally meant the act
of compressing into pits, trenches or
compartments, which are called silos.
It now means the materials com
pressed. These silos may be built
above ground or in part below and in
part above the ground. Ill the South
ern States it Is the custom to build
them wholly above ground. ?Southern

Washington, 1). C.? That the current
year will he a banner year for crops iu
this country Is the Indication of thp
Covcrnincut crop report. The Govern
ment crop experts have figured out that
th ? roru crop will lie 2,710.018,000
busluds, though with favorable weath
er this yield may bo Increased so that
tin? crop may be close to the throe bill
ion bushel mark. At the?price now ob
taining in Chicago for May corn, of
forty-lour cents a bushel, the value of
this crop would reach $1,195,443,1)20.
The largest previous crop, harvested In
IN! Ml, gave 'J. 0(515 .000, 000 bushels.
The spring wheat crop will be only
Slightly behind the record crop of 1N0S,
when bushels of spring
wheat were harvested In the North
west. The probable result this year i*
now placed nt 2?S0.047,,H)l) bushels.
While tiic wheat and corn crops are
the most important in the popular es
timate. there are other crops which
are nearly as essential to national
prosperity, ami t ifese also promise
great returns, according to the Govern
ment report. The crop of oats will
probably be In the neighborhood ot

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS
>! FOR SEPTEMBER 24.
Xtevi?w of t tin for th? Third
Uu#fUr of the Year? Monti I'm. inly,,
11-ttft-Uold** l?*t, I'M. ?x?l., 6.Th?
SuioiutrtN.
Lesson I. Topic: Cod's protection of
if I ft people. Place: Jerusalem and the
Assyrian camp, Hrzeklah wan Kiflg
of Ju<lali anil Sennacherib of Assyria.
At 1 1) in tliuo Assyria waft a great and
powerful country, and at the height of
lis power. It wflft a mighty nation of
warrlorft. Nothing coultl stand before
tho Assyrian host. They swept over
the country leaving desolation and
death behind them. Their king sent
abusive letters to Hexekiah to affright
him. Heseklah aud the prophet Isaiah
prayed and God destroyed their ene
uiies.
II. Topic: Study of an Old Testa
ment prayer, Place: Jerusalem. Great
suffering and sickness came upon Hez
eklah, King of Judah. Tho prophet
Isaiah saw that death was the Inevit
able result of such sickness only as
(Jod interposed. Then it was that
I Ic&C'Kiu u aabi-d fO'i added* yea i's, uiid
received promise of fifteen yearn more.
III. Topic: The suffering, atoning
Saviour. Place: Jerusalem, the pro
phet Isaiah's home. This Is the deep
est and loftiest of the Old Testament
prophecies, and points clearly and defi
nitely to the atonement. The life and
mission of Christ is related in few
words embracing humiliation, suffer
ing, atonement and exaltation. The
main thought is that the Servant Is to
bo tho instrument In establishing the
truo religion, by removing the burden
of guilt and bringing many to right
eousness.
IV. Topic: Tho gospel's gracious call.
Place: Jerusalem. Regardless of the
mean opinions of men and their lack
of faith in the Saviour a magnificent
kingdom was founded, aud to it invita
tion and Joyous weloonio is extended.
Jehovah's thoughts transcend those of
man as much as the heaven is higher
than tho earth. The thoughts and
ways of Jehovah arc Ills purposes of
redemption..
V. Topic: Chapters in a sinful life.
Place: The kingdom of Judah, particu
larly the capital, Jerusalem. The
faithful Ilozekiah closed his life, leav
ing his son Manasseli to reign in Judah.
By him the good work of reform was
wrtirso than undone; the pooplo wclit
Into the lowest depths of wickedness.
In his mature 'years Manasseh was
made to feel the rod of afillctlon which
led him to repentance. Then ho sought
to repair some of the evils.
VI. Topic: Vital factors In a success
ful life. Place: Jerusalem and Judah.
Manasseh'n effort to reform his king
dom did not. produce much fpijt. His
sou A mon disregarded this effort 0 jk'
the part of his father, and led peopw
on In Idolatry for two years, when ho
?was slain by his servants In his. own
house. Then his youthful son Joslah
came to the throne. He made earnest
work of destroying Idol worship and
of repairing the house of the Lord:
VII. Topic: Purpose and mission of
the Bible. Place: Jerusalem. WJth
the neglect of the temple the people
had been without tho book of the law.
In repairing tho temple this book .waa
found and brought before the king.
He was greatly moved because of the
fearful disobedience of the people, and
the awful curse of God iwhich was
pronounced upon tho very sins Judah
had committed. lie at once sought to
know what the Lord would say unto
them. The promise to him was that
the curse should not como upon the
people during bis life.
VIII. Topic: Trying to destroy God's
word. Place: Jerusalem. 'At the death
of Joslah his son, Jehoalinz reigned
three months In Judah. He was taken
by Necho to Egypt, and his brother
Jebolaklm was made king. He reigned
eleven years and did evil in the sight
,of the Lord. In the fourth year of his
reign he burned tho Book of tho Law.
The Lord directed the prophet Jere
miah to write another. In tills [were
moro warnings to the people. The
king was slain, his kingdom destroyed
and" his son carried in chains into
Babylon.
IX. Topic: Persecution of the right
eous. Place: Jerusalem. The kingdom
of Judah was fast hastening to its
end. The judgments of God .wore
about to fall upon the people. Jere
miah, the prophet, was almost alone in
standing for the right, and his life was
in constant danger. His -was a mission
requiring courage, faith, strength, will.
X. Topic: Declino and fall of the
kingdom. Place: Jerusalem. Zedekla h
was the twentieth and last King of
Judah. He took no warnings fr^m the
judgments of God which had fallen
upon the people before his reign. He
despised tho warnings of the prophet
Jeremiah, nnd mocked the messengers
of (Jod. Then the city was taken by
tho Babylonians. The house- of God
was burned, the wall about the city
broken down, the -palaces were burned
and the vessels from the temple were
carried to Babylon. Tho sons of Zede
kiah were slain before his eyes, and
then his own eyes were put out, and
he was carried captlvo to Babylon.
XI. Topic: Vision of tho glorious
gospel. Place: Babylon. Ezeklel was
among the captives carricd to Babylon
in the second siege against Jerusalem.
But (Jod gave him visions of the fu
ture and how lie would bless His peo
ple. E/.oklel prophesied for twenty
two years. Ills prophecies were a
great encouragement.
XII. Topic: The study of a godly
young man. Place: Babylon. Here
we learn of the 'beginning of the cap
tivity of Judah. Babylon was at this
time in tho zenith of its pA\vr*r ruling
all Western Asia and extending Its au
thority to tho river of Egypt. Danlol
was among the captives of the first
siege against Jerusalem. He was then
about twelve years 6ld. He lived
through tho seventy years of captivity.

rloating Mines a Danger.
"Floating mines from Port Arthur
contlnuo" a menace to navigation."
says the Pekln Times. "The Hslnch,
from Tientsin. reports sighting one
of those drifting clangors. . The en
glues were stopped and for upward
of an hour the captala and officers en
deavored to explode it by inean? of
rifle shots. The firing proving inef
fectual, a boat was lowered in charge
of Mr. Miller, the chief officer, who
placed the mine in tow, but after tow
ing for two hours It. exploded with a
terrific report. Capt. Pratt of $ the
steamer Yushun reports a floating^
mine which wum exploded at 100 yards
range. This is thought a safe dis
tance. The only thing to be careful
of Is to have sufficient overhead cov
ering as a protection against falling
fragments. Tho steamer Kungping
reports sighting a large spiked mine
twenty-three miles from Howskl tn>
.land. Rifle shots were fired at It and
the mine exploded, several fragments
