cause they had to be paid in roman childhood acid phosphate is best manure preservative a recent bulletin from the new york experiment station geneva gives results of tests with various ma terials for preserving manure the results show to the satisfaction of the station at least that the only maj terial to use is acid phosphate the materials compared were straw peat acid phosphate rock phosphate and gypsum most manure preservatives are of iitte value in checking loss of nitro gen the station advises in the tests the amount of nitrogen lost ranged from 15 per cent for manure treated with acid phosphate to fifty- one per cent for untreated manure immediate application of the preser vative is advised even if the manure is to be hauled to the field as soon as voided it is suggested that two hnnd- fuls of acid phosphate be scattered in each horse stall every day so that the horses will trample it into the manure wheat straw was found to be detri mental to manure where the straw- was added to manure applied to grow ing crops a dertimental effect was noted as compared with results from fresh manure alone the station doe3 not explain why this is true so far as the tests have gone it seems that the best results will be se cured where acid phosphate is mixed with tho manure as soon as it is voided and the mixture stored in a covered shed or pit until such time as it can bo conveniently spread on the field a laborsaver one day last spring an oldtimer stopped at the shop and watched me making wooden breakpins for the cut tivators finally he said well that is a new one on me i had cut tho blocks of hickory into the lengths de sired and then split them into squares a little larger than the finished pins would bo after sharpening one end a little i drove each stick through a hole in a piece of strap iron and the pins were ready for use in ten min utes i can make a seasons supply i have tho holes in the strap iron drilled the exact size of the holes in the culti vators shanks and reamed out a little on the underside i find that this plan beats the old custom of taking a few- square pins to the field and shaving tho pins out with a knife as needed j l randall coin3 which bore on them the image of the roman emperor which was an added offence the image of the em peror seemed a breach of the second commandment the question was skilful if jesus said tribute should not be paid they would report him to pilate if he said tribute should bo paid they would proclaim him to the people as a traitor to his land and race why tempt ye mo why seek to entrap me by cunning jesu3 sees tlie trap immediately image the head of the emperor tiberius subscrip tion the device on the other side of the coin which was a silverling or a shilling they said caesars jesus compels them to answer their own question he simply throws back the question on themselves any fur ther discussion on their part would have put them in the dilemma in which they sought to place jesus it is they who must play the part of treason to rome or to israel they marvelled and held their peace tho incident of the tribute money is but one of a series of entangling engine cylinder grinding tour tractor

thought of christ never outgrows either one or the other but many other things are added to our thought of jesus it comes al most as a shock at first to think of christ as strong a martial defender of truth and right there is a line of a hymn declaring that this gentle jesus a lion is in fight the lion of the tribe of judah this thought of him who came not to bring peace but a sword is equally a part of tho gospel picture of christ he did not cease from mental fight nor did his sword sleep in his hand perhaps it is still later that we come to confess that jesus is tho supreme example of genius in tho realm of intellect professor glover says what we are sure is true when he writes we must recognize the power which every one felt in him there is greatness in his language in his ref erence of everything to great prin ciples and to god greatness in his gift for making great men out of petty speaking of the character istics of his thinking he says we note a certain swiftness a quick real ization of a situation a character or a word men try to trap him with a question and he instantly recognize their trickery it may seem to be descending to a lower plane but it is worth while to look at the sheer sense which jesus can bring to ber on a i i situation when i argue with a fool there are two of us jjamnr iyin t- records in 1922 the best year in its history izoi v
