This is not such a fascinating por-l tion for meditation as that of lastl week. This tells of workers of in-‘ iquity and the snares and gins and nets which the wicked set for the righteous. Yet it is written by the' same Holy Spirit. It seems somewhat l like coming down from the Mount of Transfiguration to contend with the : devil and his works. It reminds usI that our adversary. the devil. still go- eth about and that we need the whole , armor of God for the daily conflict. and if we would not be overcome nor grow weary. we must consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners‘ against Himself on our behalf (1 i'eLt v, S. 0; Eph. vi. 10-13: Heb. xii. 3!. It. does not matter what particular part! of David's life this psalm refers to. He: was in the conflict from the time that. Samuel first anointed him; before thatI privately as a shepherd; after that; more or less publicly till his death: From the time that a sinner receives. the Lord Jesus and thus becomes His, redeemed pronerty he is in the conflict; with the world. the flesh and the devil and can overcome only by the blood of the Lamb and absolute confidence in Him (Rev. xii. 11: I John v. 4). : Text of the Lesson, Ps. cxli-Memory Verses, 3. 4â€"Golden Text, Ps. cxli, 9. Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. SUNDAY SBHOIL :2). On this occasion David seems to have needed help at once, for he said. "Make haste unto me.” When Peter was sinking in the sea he needed help quickly and cried. “Lord. save me!” And immediately Jesus caught him by the hand (Matt. xiv, 30. 31). The thief on the cross needed salvation quickly. and he obtained it and .went to para- dise. Prayer as incense reminds us of Rev. r. 8: viii, 3. ,the latter passage teaching us that the merits of Christ are necessary to make any prayer ac- ceptable and that by those merits ev- ery true prayer in His name reaches the throne. We think of the father of John the Baptist offering incense in the holy place while the multitude was praying without. and we see by faith our great High Priest interceding for us as we continue here in prayer Luke i. 8-10). The evening sacrifice reminds us that salvation and service all depend upon His precious blood. for He died at the hour of the evening sacrifice. We need continually to pray the prayer of verse 3. “Set a watch. 0 Lord. before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.” for it any man offend not in word the same is a perfect man and able also to bridle the whole body (Jas. iii, 2). “Who so keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles" (Prov. xxi, 23). Elsewhere David said. “I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is be- fore me” (Ps. xxxix. 1). 1n Ps. lxxxiv. 10, the writer speaks of being a door- keeper in the house of God. but here David asks the Lord to be his door- keeper. The word of God in our hearts is mentioned as a remedy against sin (PS. xvii, 4: cxix, 11). Verse 4 of our lesson sounds like: “Lead us not into temptation. but de- liver us from the evil one. May the thought of our weakness keep us far away from all that is evil.” Verse 5 reminds us of Prov. ix, 8. “Rebuke a wise man and he will love thee.” And yet so good a man as Asa could not stand a reproot, but imprisoned the Lord's messenger (I I Chron. xvi, 10). The marginal reading of this lesson verse is helpful and also the revised version. ‘ 0’ "Lord, I cry unto thee: so also in PS. clxii. 1. 5, "I cried unto the Lord with my voice." No place nor circum- stance nocd hinder our cry to God. for Jonah cried to the Lord from the belly of the fish and was heard (Jonah ii. 1. We can safely leave all the workers of iniquity to work out their own ruin. while we put our trust in the Lord. rely wholly upon Him and live only for Him. When we can say from the heart, “I know Him whom I have be- lieved,” we can also add. “And am per- suaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day”, (11 Tim. 1, 12). He is able to guard us even from stumv bang, and we may joyfully sing, “If Godhetorunwhoeanbeagainstusr 9nd. 24. w version: Rom. fill. In verse 8 we are reminded of the prayer of Jehoshaphat. “We have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do. but our eyes are upon thee" (II Chron. xx, 12). There also comes to mind Heb. xii, 1,2, “Let us run with patience the race that is set before us looking unto Jesus.” “Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee” (Prov. iv, 25). It is necessary that we look in the right direction and at the right person. for our eyes aflect our hearts (Lam. iii. 51). It is blessed when we see no man any more save Jesus only with our selves (Mark ix. 8). The last two lesson verses make us think of Haman. who was hanged upon the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai; also of David’s prayer in P3. xxxv, 8. “Let his net that he hath hid catch himself.” See also Ps. vii. 15, “He made a pit and digged it and is fallen into the ditch which he made." and Prov. xxvi, 27. “Who so diggeth a pit shall fall therein.” ., ”Mm Thus commences Bulletin No. 88 recently published by the seed branchof the Dominion depart- ment of agriculture under the title of “Weeds and Weed Seeds.” and which can be had free on ad- dressing the publications branch [of the department at Ottawa. At ter telling of the wastage caused by weeds, the bulletin proceeds to 'explain. or rather, the seed com- missioner. Mr. G. H. Clark, does, how weeds are introduced and [their extensive prevalence. The)“ are classified according to ,the length of time they live. as an- nuals, biennials, ’ and perennials. ‘In eradicating weeds it is of im- ,portance t know under which 'head they come.

The other 86 are not regard- ed as quite so serious, although they, too, give trouble in grail :crops, hoed cr0ps, meadows pas- ture-.5, lawns and on roadsides. They are all plainly described and pictured in the Bulletin, which Imerits the attention of every far- mer and every gardener, amateur :or professional. le"ore they produce seed. bienniâ€" als which re'wire two seasons to complete their firowth. must be either ploughed or cut do w'n be- fore they flower. Perennials are the most ti'oul)IOS(')nie owing: to the extension and firmness of their roots. A. single ploughing often does more harm than good hr breaking up the root-stocks and stimulating growth. For shallow-rooted perennials, in- fested land should be ploughed so lie‘htly that the roots are expos- ed to the sun to dry up For demi-rooted perennials ploughing should be as deep as conveniently possible, the nature of the land determining the depth of the ploughing. The best time to desâ€" troy weeds is within two or three days after the first pair of leaves has formed on the seedling plant. For friable soils the use of the “weeder” is advised. The “tilting" harrow is also satisfactory for comparatively loose soils and is preferred as a weed destroyer on firm or clayey land. The bulletin. after detailing re- sults of investigation by officers of the seed branch as far as grain. grasses and clover are affected, and how the seeds are spread, and in what quantities they have been found in different localities cover- ing four provinces, proceeds to describe the nature and method of eradication of 114' varieties. of which 28 are classed “noxious" un- der the ord‘er-in-council of 1911 authorized by the Seed Control Act. passed in the same year. Each of the '28 and each of the remain- ing 86 are not only minutely des- cribed, but an exact illustration of weed and seed accompanies each description. The 28 are W'ild Oats, False Wild Oats, common Darnel, Docks (curled. clustered and bit- ter), Pul'pleCockle. Campion-s (in- cluding \Vhite Cockle, Night Flowering Catchfly. and Bladder (fampiou), (fow Cockle, Stink- weed, False Flax. Ball Mustard.

By keeping watch we may be able to call its appearance to the attention of our' experiment sta- tions and the United States depart- ment of agriculture. so that war may be waged on the pest in time. The alfalfa weevil is a small beetle about the size of a grain of wheat. The mature bugs eat holes in the FIELD OF ALFALFA IN FLOUBISHING CONDITION. alfalfa leaves and lay eggs in the holes. The eggs are of a lemon )ellow 'eolor. 1hey hatch out into gruhs which are greenish in color, With a white line along the back, and of course are rather small, being the off- spring of a beetle no larger than a wheat grain. The grubs feed on the alfalfa leaves and sometimes destroy them com- pletcly. No more serious danger confronts the agriculture of the country than is found in the possibility of the spread of this little bug into the states east of the Rocky mountains. Inspect: your alfalfa plants for the little holes close to a bud. If they are made by a iittle grub send one specimen to the entomologist at: your experiment station and another to the bureau of plant industry at Washing- ton. and write a letter to go with each specimen, telling the story of your find. Alfalfa For Hogs. There is really no more profitable pasture for hogs than alfalfa. It should not. be stocked too heavily in pastur- ing. the surplus growth being mowed whenever it needs it. Good hay re- sults from that portion which the hogs do not eat, and the new that comes up is fresh and well liked by the 11038- If is not mowed swine are apt to eat it in Patches. killing parts altogether. Professor Gillette of the Colorado station advises farmers not to receive shipments of bulky merchandise like potatoes, fruit or nursery stock from those regions of Utah or Idaho where this insect occurs. unless the goods have been thoroughly disinfected. It \vouid seem the part of wisdom for the government to adopt preventive meas- ures. Weight of Peking Ducks. Peking ducks should weigh more than five pounds. The standard weight of the duck is seven pounds and that of the drake eight. They are creamy white. with bright orange colored beaks and legs. A well bred, well cared for Peking duckling should weigh five pounds at ten Weeks of age. The best oapons are hatched in early spring and operated upon during early summer, before extremely hot weather begins, says the Country Gentleman. The birds are then ready for market during and after the holiday season.- Cockerels of any breed can be made to increase in weight by being caponâ€" 'lzed. The larger breeds will permit of much- greater gains and are therefore more desirable. For the production of capons on the farm the Plymouth Rocks are among the best rowts to keep. since the females may he kept for eggs and all surplus cockerels cah- ponized. June and July are the best months .‘or the work. because spring hatched chicks reach proper size then and‘ also because birds caponized at this time‘ar- rive at the proper age and weight for marketing at the season when there is the greatest demand and the beat prices mail 4. 3 THE PROFITABLE CAPON. 3 THE DURHAM CHRONICLE.
