not been conducted long enough to give definite answer under various conditions if one could tell the type of weather that was likely to prevail the answer would be simpler for instance in a wet summer fertilizers ans fertilizers carrying nitrogen or any other ingredient in organic form are generally claimed to be superior iu their physical effect upon the soil that is to say they are sup posed to act liko humu3 from plant sources adding to the waterholding capacity of the soil and improving its condition for bacterial growth it the amount of organic matter in the fer tilizer i considerable this contention will have sc ie weight much of the nitrogen supplied in organic carriers has to wait for bacterial action before it is liberated hence the action ot tho organic carriers is prolonged beyond that of the purely mineral carriers the nitrogen in each case is the same element that is supplied by both min eral and organic carriers hence the rapldness with which it is available will determine the suitability of the carrier ot nitrogen in the fertilizers for tho crops on which they are to be used this giant bible was made in his spare time open boo contains s04s

enemies sometimes in the form of particular illustrations such as if your enemy smite you on the one cheek turn to him the other also whereas then the scribes and pharisees sought to give men a map indicating every detail of the way jesus gave men a compass and bade them guide their steps by this compass and the stars we are not to apply these com mands of jesus therefore clumsily and by rule of

sun and rain to bless the just and the unjust he 13 ns good to the thankless as to the thank ful he treats his children then not according to their need we there fore are to treat our neighbors not according to their deserts but their needs as god has treated us this is tho great principle of christian jus tice what our enemies need of us what beggars need what sinners need is our love and we
