A borne gardeu is incomplete unless It includes some of tbe more perma nent vegetables and small fruits in ad dition to Tbe regular annual vegetables that are usually planted. A bed of as paragus, several bills of rhubarb, a few plants of * horseradish, strawber ries, raspberries, blackberries, dewber ries, Logan blackberries, grapes, cur rants and gooseberries, according to locality and available space, are valu able additions to tbe home garden. All of the abovt might not thrive In any one locality or on one type of soil, and care must be exercised in making the selection, says the United States Department of Agriculture in a new Farmers’ Bulletin, No. 1242, Perma nent Fruit and Vegetable Gardens, Just Issued, copies of which may be had free upon r&iuest. The department says that about 00 out of every 100 lanus In the United States have ui»on them some form of a home garden or aeurce of supply of fresh vegetables. Many of them* gar dens Include, in addition to the an nual vegetables, small fruits and cer tain of tbe perennial or more or less permanent vegetables.

It is true that these city gardens have been small and Individually have nbt pro* dueed any great quantity of food, but collectively they have .been of enor mous Importance In supplying vegeta bles for the families. Farmers, due + scarcity of labor, have In itfany In* stances neglected their gardens and there is need for a great awakening Homs Garden Furnish** Supply of Frssh Vegetables. that may be made from grapes. By having a collection of the different small fruits that are adapted to the region one can enjoyoi continuous sup ply of good things to eat throughout the greater part of the summer and In addition have an abundance of pre serves for winter use. Rsviv* Small Fruits. * There should he a great revival .In the planting of small fruits and gjapes in connection with home gardens, es pecially In sections where home or chards are dying out or new ones are not being planted. The care of small fruits as regards spraying and other requirements is more*siinple than that of the orchard fruits, and the small fruits can he grown on a much more limited space. When space is available a section of the garden may be set aside for the permanent vegetables and the small fruits. The location of these perma nent crops, however, should be such that they will not interfere with the plowing of the garden or the cultiva tion of the annual vegetables. In no case should the small fruits he. crowd- Who Wouldn't Smii* With a Garden Like This Within 50 Flrat of th« Kitchen Doort I of interest on tbs part of people whs lire In the country In tbe matter of ‘ adequate supply of fresh vegetables for their tables. Tbs old argument put forward by most farmers that It does not pay td putter with a garden Is poorly founded. As a matter of fact, farmers who Halm that they can grow an extra acre of corn or wheat and uae tbe proceeds to buy their vegetables rarely have vegetables other than potatoes on their tables and subsist mainly on a bread and meat diet. Good home-cured pork makes fine eating, but It la much better If balanced by carrots, beets, tomatoes, cabbage sod other good gar den product* In many Instances the women folks have, with dldlcultles, spaded, planted and tended the garden. This has been an Injustice and should not be ex pected of them. TIi* Ideal plan Is to *et apart a plot of ground for a gar den, no arranged that It can be culti vated almost entirely with a horse, then devote a little time each week to taking care of It. If the women folks must do the* work of caring for the garden, then le{ the men folks fertilize, plow and thoroughly pre pare the land for planting and do the rougher and more laborious cul tivation. There Is no similar plot of ground, on the average farm In tha opinion of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, that will yield as great returns as a gaod garden. In fact. 10 acres of wheat will not return as much a»a half-acre garden. I ed, It being best to plant a llrfttted number, selecting those best adapted to the region. . ' ’ Weather for Berries. ^ -r Generally speaking, raspberries will not stand very hot or dry weather. Blackberries can endure hot weather, but not hot drying winds. Dewberries are grown mostly in the warmer parts of the country. In very cold sections the* plants of these fruits should-re ceive some kind of winter protection. Logan blackberries are grown only In tbe 1'adfic coast states. . Currants snd gooseberries do best In a cool climate, but can stand quite warm summers If thejj^ hnvq mL wafer.' Iflft* ‘nor*permissible to plant currants and gooseberries in sections where the white pine Is grown, be cause there plants harbor tbe blister rut. which Is destructive to white pine trees. There ara varieties of grape* for every section where soy *tbrr fruits are grows.

Two lots of five lambs each were fed barley, cull beans and pea straw; one lot received sunflower silage and the other corn silage. , The corn-silage bunch needed 442 pounds of grain, 187 pounds of pea straw and 526 pounds of corn silage to make 100 pounds of grain. 11 The ■ sunflower-silage bunch needed 660 pounds of • grain, 310 pounds of pea straw and 811 pounds uf sunflower silage for the same amount of gain. Extra grain needed by the sunflower-sflage bunch was due to lack of grain in the sunflower silage, evidently. Quite a few feeders say sunflower silage is all right for sheep %nd cattle. One point In favor of sunflowers is their heavy yield. The crop gryws well, in dry sections, and in high Altitudes. (By Rfcv p. B FiTZW AlfcK, D. D..

That the bhok of Jonah is histori cal we believe for the following rea sons: Flnst, its record and use in the Scriptures. That the writers of the Bible Intended the impression of its historicity is without the shadow of a doubt. The suggestion that It is | a parable is absolutely gratuitous. Second, the unbroken testimony of tradition among the Jew* is that it is , historic. Third. the-testimoDy of Jesus , Christ (Matt. 12:39-41). The words of ! Jesus Christ are Anal. I. Jonah’s Second Commission (vv. .1, 2).’ When called the first time to go to | Nineveh, he found the task too great for him. For hi* unfaithfulness, he 1 was chastised. ’He repented snd God 1 restored his comiiilKslou. Tbe Lord , said to him, “I'reach die iirearhlng that 1 bid thee" (v. 2).

His message (v. 4). “Yet forty j days mid Nineveh shall be overthrown." This means that forty days were given j by God for repentance ere the Judg ment would fail. God la long suffer ing. not willing that any should perish, bnt that all should repent (II Pet 3#i). Though He Is merciful, yet there Is a limitation to IL H* says, “Yet forty days." III. The Repentance of Nmevsh (vv. 5-10). 1. They believed God (v. 5). They believed that God was speaking to them through the prophet shout (belt sins and Impending Judgment. 2. They proclaimed a fast (vv. 5-8). The king and people Joined since rely tn this movement. The call was for them to turn away from their sins. Their peal ten r* we* genuine, for they notf merely put on sackcloth, the vis ible sign of mourning, but they cried to God (v. 8).' 3. They reasoned that God would repent ‘(v. 9). Though they had no assurance that God would have pjegey, yet they reasoned that the sending of s prophet and the giving of s time before tbe fall of doom Implied that God would he merciful If they repent ed. They were wise IB so doing. We today know that God will have mercy If we re|»ent (Acts 3:19). What ot ter folly to go on In sin In the face of the (assurance thaf GodArill Judge. 5.

No one has ever wept over sin unnoticed by God. God rejoices when a sinner repents (Luke 15:10). In the Book of Jonah we have por trayed the typical history of Israel: "1. Jonah wa^-called to a world mission, and so was Israel. (2) Jonah at first refused compliance with ‘the divine purpose and plan, and so did Israel. (3) Jonah was punished by being cast into the sea. and so was Israel by being dispersed among the nations. (4) Jonah was not lost, but rather especially preserved during this part of his experience, and Israel is not being assimilated by the nations, but being kept for God. (5) Jonah, repentant and cast out by the fish, is restored to life and action again,-and Israel, repentaut and cast §ut by the nations, shaTTbe reatoced to her former national position. (6) Jonah, obedient, goes upon his mission to Nineveh, and Israel obedient, shall ultimately en gage In ' her original mission to the' world. (7) Jonah is successful In that his message is acted upon to the salvation of Nineveh, ao Israel shall be blessed in that she shall be used to the conversion of the whole world." —Dr. Gray’r Commentary. * , Ask Your Dealer or Decorator about the AlABASTINE OPALINE PROCESS ' • ' ' ; * Beautiful welltl Harmonies never before imaginedl A blending of tints end tones, a magic interweaving of colors which wiD transform your walk into a rich fabric unsurpassed in its charm and cheerfulness—and - . et r cost well within your meens, — .— ^ ~ ‘ *. • ’ , r , < good decorator can do the work—nearly all stores dealing in paints can supply the material—anyone can now afford to have Tiffanized walls formerly the exclusive privilege of the very wealthy* JUahnuHne Instead of Kalsomine or Wall Paper AO that is necessary is just Alabasdne, the tame nationally accepted waO tint which for forty yean has been used in home*, apartments, offices and public buildings of all kinds — the same sanitary, durable, economical and artistic wall coating sold by tbe best stores and used by the best decorators.
