SABBATH SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL! LKSIsON FOR MAY lil. 63. "And tliey led Jesus away lo the high priest, and with Him were assembled all the chief priests, mid the elders, and the scribes." After the darkness and agony of tho garden, being strengthened by an angel, He went forth to lay down His life of His own uee.ord (John x., 18). Tho boastful disciples all forsook Him and fled (verses 31, 50). Tho young man of verses 51. 52 was probably Mark himself, as in other eases the unnamed one was doubtless the writer of the gospel ^ 1 j 11 fx t AAIV., 10; <IUUIJ J., tPWUj* IK'lIi^ buiinil (John xviii., 12), is led as a lamb to the slaughter (Isaiah liii.. 7), for those before whom lie was brought had long before determined to kill Him (Math, xii., 24; John xi.. 58). 51. "And I'eter followed Him afar off. even i into the palace of the high priest, and he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire." The result of Peter's following afar of! and being in bad company is seen in I verses 66 to 72 following the lesson. Self eonlldeut boasting Is very apt to lead to rash conduct, bad company and many worse things, as in the case of Peter. ^Ve must have uoconfldencein ourselves, but be strong In the Lord and let Him perfect His strength in our weakness (Phil. iii.. 3; Kph. vi., 10; II Cor. xii., 9). 56. "And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put Him to death, and found none." Their minds were fully made up. and God was goiug t<> let them have their way and accomplish what He foresaw would surely come to pass (Acts iv.. 27. 28). They were now seckn itig some reason for their conduct, but could find none except in the wickedness of their own hearts. Testimony in His favor they could have readily obtained In abundance, but against Him. none. Sec John xviii., 20; T1..I ><:. M..t< iii 17. vvii 1 ft6.

In a communication to the Charleston Newt, and Courier, I. W. Hart of the dairy department, Clcmson Col- ! lege, aays: South Carolina possesses splendid advantages for dairying. The dairy industry has enriched ami is maintaining the fertility of the lands ! of the West that were fast being 1 robbed of their productiveness by the growth ami sale of wheat, and it will do the same for the worn lands of the South. At no period of the world's history has any country continued to prosper under such conditions ap obtain under the tenant system of the South, and it in only through the great but not inexhaustible fertility of the soil that permits thin aystero to be continued. With it contrast the tenant system of Great Britain. There the trained intellect of the landlord, often an Oxford or Cambridge graduate, directs the minutest details of the management of his estate, sees that a proper system of rotation in cropping is carried on and thftt out of the returns from the sales of produce, cotton seed meal and other rich feeding stuffs are bought to increase the fertility of his already fertile acres. The result is that her soil is far more fertile than when the feet of Ciesar's conquering legions first pressed her shores. and it is to England that the world goes for improved breeds of hotses, cattle, sheep and swine. The wasteful and improvident methods of farming followed in the South are rapidly exhausting the fertility accumulated by centuries of plunt growth and decay. When the time arrives, as come it must, where little or no fertilizers ure put back on the laud to take the place of those removed by the crops, when the crop will not pay the expenses of growing it, the farmer leaves the land for washes and gullies to complete the de structioa. Under the old style of gold mining, much gold was lost owing to the crudeness of the machinery nnd the methods employed; with improved appliances the waste of the eld crushers is now being profitably worked over. In like maimer land that has been exhnusted by constant cropping can be profitably worked and made rich aaain with that improved machine, the dairy cow. The great necessity of the farmer to-day in n better knowledge of hi6 business and better business methods. Having the former, he will take greater interest in the great and intricate problems which he assists nature in solving, aud will endeavor to act in co-operation with her, and the latter will cause him to drop the old slip-shod methods of doing and to compete with his fellows in other callings in the struggle for existence. A held of cows requires the best attention the owner can give 36") days in the year. A lazy man will never make a successful dairyman, never. Neither will the man who works with his muscles only, thereby saving head-work To succeed, the dairyman needs to have a natural fondness for cattle. When the dairyman puts the same amount of at tciition upon hip business a- the average business or professional man dot s upon his he will sneered, and not till then. Much of the land in the upper part of the State is too hilly lor profitable cult.\atiou. Upon land ol this character the sweetest herbage grows, aud with such pasturage, together with the elear ami sparkling water which abounds, as fine butter and cheese an is produced anywhere oil earth maybe made. In Indian eorn we have the cheapest cow feed that can be grown, except pasture grass, and with the silo the whole- plant may be preserved in a palatable and succulent condition. Hecause Indian eorn does not contain the diSFereut materials needed for tin- animal body in proper propoi tions, eorn silagt is not a complete 'ood. and it i6 not economical to feed it alone. Supplemented with cotton seed or cotton seed meal and cow pea vine hay, we have a ration which, for combining quality w ith low cost,cannot be exec lied. South Carolina herds contain large infusions of Jersey blood, and the milk yiolcled by them is far richer in solids than the milk of cows of milk producing districts at the North. The health of our herds is also better. Hov.ne tuberculosis. that terrible scourge, is known here only by name. r*u t a a ? a i -i I** amauiage me oorin possesse over us in the matter of climate is more apparent than real, in fact our climate the year around is better adapted for the production of tirst-class dairy goods than that of New York or Wisconsin. Cheap ice, however, has given the North a decided advantage over uh in the summer production of fine butter, un advantage the dairymen have not been alow to seize. .But science in now coming to the aid of the Southern dairyman with artificial refrigeration. So cheaply are small ice plants now run in connection with the other machinery in creameries, that many creameries located where ice is a certain crop, are not going to the small expense of cutting and storing it. There can be no doubt but that thcRC small refrigerating machines will soon be made cheap enough to use in the private dairy. I It n often claimed that we Mere ne large urban population, and that if largely made batter would become a | drug upon the market. Good butter j rarely fails to briDg a remunerative price. Whenever we can make more than enough butter to supply the local trade we can ship our surplus to the Eastern markets. Elgin, 111., the great butter producing centre of the West, is farther from the markets than we ure. Dairying is not a sure and sudden way to get rioh, but it returns a safe ar'1 steady income the year round. In th. uatter of direot return* the producers of milk should not expect too much. They cannot force up the j market end of the business, but tbey have hold of the home end, and should direct every effort to bring the cost of production down. The Northern farmer finds dairying profitable, yet his milk the season round does not return him over eighty cents per hundred pounds, about seven cents per gallon on the average. Many South Carolina farmers, with whom I have conversed, have told me that they could not produce milk profitably for less than 20 cents a gallon. With intelligent handling of pood cows there is no reasou why milk cannot be produced more cheaply here than at the North and as the price of dairy products rule higher, the profits should be much greater. Condition of the Crops. Director Bauer in his crop bulletin for the past week eayts: Cotton is about all planted In the eastern portion of the State, and is nenriug completion in other sections. From Fairfield county westward there remain.- from cue-fourth to one-third of the crop yet to plant. Cotton has attained a good stand where up. and is coming up well all over the State. It is very generally reported that there will be less than the usual amount of eotton planted this year. Sea island eotton has a good stand and is large enough to work. Com has been nearly all planted, except possibly bottom lands, which continue too wet for proper preparation. The stand of corn that is up is reported variable, being very good from all plantings in the southern portions of the State generally, while the western and northern counties report poor stands from earliest planting, necessitating much replanting. Iu Newberry county fields in which the oats were winter-killed are being lurgely planted to corn. The general opinion seems to be that there will be no more land Dlanted to corn than last year. Early corn "is large enough to receive its llrst working. Tobacco has been much improved by the rains, and the wet ground is in the best possible condition for transplanting from the beds to the fields, which is now being done. Grains of all kinds continue to do well, being favored by the weather. Wheat especially has made rapid improvement lately. Oats are also growing off well. Sugarcane and sorghum are receiving a great deal of attention, not only for the produets manufactured from them, but also for fodder to supplement tbe oats crop, which will be a short one, owing to the failure of winter oats. Sugurcane, neanuts and peas will also be planted to produce fattening feed for hogs. Hioe planting has made considerable progress, having been pushed were tbe condition of the ground permitted; but in Georgetown county the river is too high, greatly hindering planting, but where practicable early planting is nearly completed. Reports from interior points indicate that a great deal oi upland rice will he cultivated. Irish potatoes were seemingly doing well, And new potatoes are now on tbe market. Sweet potato slips are being planted under very favorable condition- ou account oi tbe Wet ground. Gardens continue backward, but are growing well, and there will soon be ,?u abundance of seasonable vegetables. Cut worms are troublesome iri place.-.
