qfomectiah by tmwieamn best asparagus timo it wasnt so very ions ago that asparagus was considered a luxury but now nearly every gardener who boasts any kind of a garden has his little asparagus bed from which such thick juicy stalks spring as quickly as the mushroom tho housekeeper is wise who uses seasonable vegetables when they are cheapest to bring down the high cost of living they are always best when cheapest too because they are cheap est when they are the most plentiful of course coming right from the gar den to tho table they are their best and taste very different to the vege tables

of the stalks cut in halfinch lengths to this add one can of peas a quarter cup thin cream and butter pepper and salt boiled asparagus perhaps it is best served all by itself either with a white rich sauce or a dressing of melted butter and sea- s ling after it is cooked tender in water never cook it longer than the required time to make it tender serve without breaking the stalks a good way to cook it to avoid breaking the tips is to stand a bunch on end in a dish since the tips do not need much cooking fill tho dish with water up to threequarters of the way and the steam will cook the tips it should always be boiled iu salted water af ter it is carefully removed to a platter melt one tablespoon butter to which add one cup bread crumbs stir over the fire until brown then cover aspara gus

the mount of olives 22 39ic what is meant by saying that jesu went as his custom was to the mount of olives it might be that he was wont to retreat thither for prayer and meditation but more prob ably it was not safe for him to sleep in the city jesus did not refuse to die when he time came but he re fused to be assassinated before his hour whether he slept in the open air or with friends perhaps at beth any is not quite certain the disciples are to pray that they cntec not into temptation we are reminded of the conclusion of the lords prayer the word translated temptation seems to mean rathe fiery trial such a searching test as peter underwent when accused of be ing a disciple or as many christians underwent in times of persecution how do we know the words of jesus prayer the disciples apparently were asleep who then overheard the prayer of jesus the only pos sible person seems to be the young man of mark 15 51 whom some have supposed to be mark himself this is interesting guesswork but we canno tell the prayer itself is reminiscent of two other passages first th question are ye able to drink of the cup that i drink matt 20 22 second the petition in the lords prayer thy will be done why should the disciples fall asleep through grief v 45 grief tends r keep people awake no doubt the dis ciples may have been more or less aware of the storm that was about to burst over their heads but it looks as if from grief was put in by the evangelist as some sort of excuse it is on the whole more likely that the disciples assuming that jesus propo ed to spend the night on the mount of olives and to sleep there himself had simply lain down in the ordinary way and fallen asleep what was it that caused the great distress of jesus we are very much out of our depth when we attempt to define the thoughts and feelings of jesus at this time we viay not know we cannot tell what pains he hod to bear we can but indicate some of the ele- nunts which may have entered irro his desperate distress no doubt jesus who was but some thirty years old may have shared mans natural shrinking from death and the death to which he must look forward was one peculiarly painful and normally very slow but others before and since have faced a painful death bravely and quietly and we may be sure that this docs not account for jesus agony it may well have come to jesus with overwhelming horror that he a jew the lover of his people was to be executed by the ro mans better far perhaps that he might die like the prophets at the hands of his own people moreover death by crucifixion the hanging upon a tree seemed to bring with it the curse of the law and therefore of god the divine author of the law of the law could c really be the son of god if god allowed this to be fall him again if he were handed over to the romans it would mean that he had failed his religious re volution symbolized by the cleansing of tho temple would have collapsed and he was to be done to death as another political fanatic misunder stood contemptuously removed in the dark dark hour of goth- seniane we may see desperate tides of the whole worlds anguish and the whole worlds sin forced through the channels of a single heart it was usual for men to lin ger two or three days upon the cross it has been said that jssus died quickly because hu heart was broken finally it must be remem bered that jesus walked by faith as we also are called to do his arrest and death just when ha seemed to be succeeding must have been utter ly baffling to faith it is easy for us after tho event to see how through his death he triumphed but we must not assume that this was easy for him to see jesu3 is set be fore us in the epistle to the heb rews a3 the great example of faith the leader of the faithful his faith in god wa3 tested to the uttermost as alone he faced absolute disaster we dare not think what it would have meant for the world if his faith had failed but it held firm ii the arrest 22 4751 luke says that chief priests and el ders came to arrest jesus but they would surely have recognized him and there would have been no need for the traitors kiss the arrest was more probably effected as mark in dicates by servants exactly what happened is not clear there seems to have been some sort of a scuffle but jesus did not attempt to escape arrest it is rather surprising to find one at least

pounds of alfalfa seed an acre this test wa3 conducted on the farm of jay larkin cook county oregon in july when the alfalfa being left for seed was in full bloom the comi ty agent arranged with charles e halm and jona3 bass to demonstrate tho effectiveness of the airplane pro peller blast in tripping the alfalfa blossoms a strip forty feet wide the entire length of the field was selected the county agent and a group of farmers counted blossoms tripped and not tripped on marked areas previous to the airplane treat ment the aiplaue was then flown over the strip at a low elevation al most clipping the top of the alfalfa with the lauding gear the blos soms were again counted and it was found that 30 per cent additional blooms were tripped as a result of the airblast from the ship yield3 at harvest time proved that the strip thus treated yielded 200 pounds of seed an acre in compari son with the yield from the untreat ed portion ot the field of only go pounds an aero and some of the

knive3 also was discovered some of the bison ami mammoth bones found here also appear to have been gnawed dr cook said in pleistocene age the dry arizona plateau where the bones and knives were discovered was a well watered flood plain when the ancient butcher shop was in operation dr cook explained streams were flowing across it from the mountains toward the east all evidence indi cates the flood plain existed in the pleistocene age which extended from about 1000000 years ago to within 20000 years of the present there is no probability that the flood basin is more recent than that he declared the flint knives were similar to those found at colorado texas and torrington wyoming they are well made indicating their makers were comparatively far advanced oward civilization the constantly increasing evidence of this character makes it appear that early man not mly existed at a much earlier date in america than has been until recently commonly believed but that he had reached
