When the last of the bosses have fallen it is a good time for the sécond summer spray, to control the coddling moth or apple worm, The sprayer aims to fill the calyx cavity of the young fruit before its lobes close and render this safeguard impossible. As a rule, the next spraying 'is given when the fruit is about half ripe. The lime-sulphur sprays, Bordeaux mixtures and other compounds may be prepared at home, but unless the fruit. grower has a large number of trees, it will be better to buy the commercial brands sold by seed firms and farmers' supply houses, all ready to be diluted. Select Suitable Apparatus. Spraying apparatus, implements for applying the solution, are required, of course, a selection of which depends mostly upon the amount of work to be done, The hand atomizer is the simplest device, but this is out of the question for anything but a few small plants, Pumps which are carried about by hand come in three types-- the bucket pump, automatic sprayer and the knapsack pump. There are useful in the garden; and are practic: able for a few trees, when a greater investment seems unwarranted. Then there is the barrel pump outfit, which is mounted on wheels, or intended to be loaded on & cart. Theso are used in small orchards. »rLarge orchards demand a power out- fit; there can be no question on this score. Such equipment comes in varl- ous sizes. They consist of a tank and motor-drivén pump mounted on a spe- cial truck, from which one or more hose connections are run, fitted with spraying nozzles. These nozzles are mounted on spray rods or poles of ten or more feet. "INTERNATIONAL LESSON: "MARCH 14. John on the Isle of Patmos, Revela: | tion 1. Golden Text--~Hebrews 13: 8, 1.3. These 'verses contain the super geription and the original title of the book, - It is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, that is, "the revelation which proceeds from Him."

Unto Him That Loveth Us.

Ver., he made us to be a kingdom, to | be priests, etc, etc. Compare Exod. 19: 6.and 1 Peter 2: 9. The apostle thinks of all those who 'believe in Jesus Christ as forming His Kingdom. They are seeking to do the will of God as revealed in Him, and like priests they have access through Him; who is their great High Priest, to the inner sanctuary of the presence of God.. Behold He Cometh. Compare Dan. 17: 13 and Mark 14: 62. There 1s a re- [ference in this verse also to Zech. 12: 10, which was supposed by early Christians to be a prediction of the suffering of Christ... The common ex- pectation of the early Church was that Jesus would soon appear in heavenly glory and power to establish His kingdom, and hence there would be mourning over all the earth, the Emourning: of penitence or of fear. Only those who believed in Him and ex- 1 pected His coming would rejoice. 8, I Am the Alpha and the Omega. z "who is here: represented as | speaking, Compare Isa, 44: 6.

In hig careful one. vision parable the apostle sees each sresented Jo heaven by its mitting a young man to monopolize the time of a young lady for years'and years only to cast her off to marry some younger person. Just why cages are more common in the ¢ than in town no one can 'explain 3 why, if marriage does follow ng courtship, it is rarely 'a happy mar- ; riage. But even if the interest in ctskip is belated it is not worth while to give up in despair if John begins pa; attention to a girl who is unworthy,'or Mary persists in meeting a young man who has little to commend him, Do not use harsh measures and so defeat your cause forever. A visit-away from home, or the introduction of some out- side interest that brings in other young folks, may cause the headstrong son or daughter to begin to contrast the loved one with more attractive companions, and when once a gobd, healthy criticism is ostablished there is hope, One young girl who was bound to throw herself away by marry ing a drunkard, was forever cured of her fancied love by visiting at the home of a relative who came home. in an intoxicated condition and abused the family. . The almost distracted parents paid the 'girl's board in this wretched home while she thought she was visiting, the unhappy wife having congented to the plan iii order to save the girl from a fate Worse than death. ' | She came back to her home thorough- ly cured and in time made a'happy marriage, but opposition would have driven her into an elopement. Encourage the worthy young end women by inviting them home, but do not show yo and" in the game of match-making, If you in« vite the girl you wish your sen to pay attention to, invite other girls with het and show that you are interested in all alike. If a worthy young man shows an Interest in your daughfer, do not consider it-too much trouble to make up a little feast occasionally and invite him in company with other young people of the neighborhood. The slightest suspicion that father or mother is trying to 'match-make" will be sure to work the wrong way, but a kindly, active Interest in all worthy young folks will give son and daugh- ter a chance to choose wisely. After a 'short courtship following a long: acquaintance, there is every chance that a happy home will 'be established and father and mother can enter into that state of Indian summer enjoyment that parents know only when their: children are well married and settled for life. And that enjoyment may be the portion of all parents who use dis- cretion, and tact, in managing their young folks (without seeming to do 80) in their love affairs. Tle - A soft horse cannot stand hard work. Horses which. have been loafing along on conservation rations all winter need to be changed to a full ration and put at hard work gradually, else much trouble will result. Sore shoulders are caused by pushing the horses sud denly into spring work. By the middle of March the wor horse should be on light work or Ti gular exercise. The grain "ration should be increased gradually until by that tine it amounts to eight or fen pounds dally, divided into three feeds. The cheaper roughages, such as bar ley or oat straw, will need to be re-' placed by good cloVer, alfalfa or mixed hay.
