FARM NOTES. |
i
— Lettuce can be grown during the win-
ter in hot beds or cold frames, and as they '
are hardy they do not require much warmth
a temperature of from 40 to 45 degrees at
night being correct.
—Turkey raising is becoming more prof-
itable and popular. Likesheep, they grow
and fatten in the fields on what would be
otherwise lost ; beside, their eating of in-
sects by the million is a benefit to the crops.
A good crop of turkeys brings a fine income
for a little expense. Their long legs ena-
ble them to move easily anywhere.
—Those who have failed to find crimson
clover as hardy as desired should not over-
look the fact that it has been the late seed-
ling which caused the loss. It should not
be seeded later than September 15th,
though many disregard the rule. If seed-
ed too late it does not make sufficient
growth to enable it to endure a heavy win-
ter.
—It is & common mistake to suppose
that all weeds are killed by frost, and
when a good freeze comes they give the
weeds in gardens and among hoed crops no
further attentien. The truth is that some
of the worst weeds are not injured by light
frosts, but are thereby incited to produce a
few seeds to perpetuate their species the
following season.
—Meadow lands infested with white
grubs should be plowed and thoroughly
cultivated in the fall, then planted to some
crop that requires thorough cultivation the
next season. The fall cultivation will de-
stroy many of the insects which are then in
a very tender stage in little earthen cells
in the ground, and the thorough and fre-
quent cultivation of the following crop will
soon discourage the grubs.
—Mulching sometimes fails to give satis-
factory results. This is due to the fact
that the mulch should be heavy. A little
mulch does not protect the plants, espec-
ially if they are somewhat tender. The ob-
ject of a mulch is not to keep the ground
warm, as many suppose, but to keep it
cold ; that is, when the ground is cold to
prevent sudden thawing, as itis the alter-
nate freezing and thawing that injures
plants.
—All fowls get too much corn in fall and
early winter, especially if they are on a
farm that produces corn. This is bad for
them, not only because corn is in itself a
fattening ration, but because fowls can
quickly fill themselves with it and without
any exercise whatever. It is this lack of
exercise as well as too much fat-forming
food that makes fowls lazy, fat and unpro-
ductive of eggs at just the time when eggs
are likely to bring their highest price.
—An orchardist says: Peach trees will
not bear choice fruit when growing sod.
In fact, there are few fruit trees that will
not produce better fruit, and more of it if
the grass is prevénted from growing near
them. Fruit trees in poultry yards, where
the ground is kept constantly bare of all
vegetation, usually bear excellent fruit.
Of course, some allowance must be made
for the fertilizing benefits received from the
droppings of the fowls.

C T.
CATECHISM ON BIBLE WINES.
WwW. T.
Why is it needful to give serious atten-
tion to this important subject ?
Because through lack of knowledge
Christ is dishonored, and much sin is the
outcome of ignorance regarding Bible
teaching on the matter.
Is the Bible misunderstood ?
Yes! It has been called a book of sanc-
tified common-sense, and yet thousands
i represent it to be the very opposite by
| their erroneous views about wine.
Do you say there are different kinds of
wine mentioned in God’s Word ?
Yes, the good and the bad wine. The
unfermented and the fermented. The
blessed and the cursed.—1 Cor. x. 16 to 21.
How is it that there are writers upon the
subject who have us believe that all Bible
wines are intoxicating.
They are like the Negro preacher who
said, ‘‘I reckon I put my own narrow no-
tions into the Bible and then proceed to
think they are inspired.’
What has misled such writers ?
The fact that in the English Version
there is but one word, ‘‘wine,’’ for at least
twelve different words in the Hebrew and
Greek. The word wine is used for grapes,
grape-juice unfermented, and grape-juice
fermented. The Hebrew word yayin, the
| even dark grapes is nearly white when first
I squeezed in the vats ; but when alcohol is
i formed by the process of fermentation, it
{ with the forbidden drink ?
Greek word oines, and the Latin word
vinum are used in the 'sime way.
Is it necessa:y to know Hebrew and
Greek to understand about these wines ?
Certainly not, for then how many would
remain in ignorance ?
Do the learned see these truths more
quickly than the ignorant ? |
No, for God by His Spirit, reveals Him-
self to ‘‘babes,”” and many ‘‘wise and pru-
dent’’ are ignorant regarding things ‘‘spir-
itually discerned.”” God used the weak
ones to confound the mighty. As the Rev.
J. Mattheson puts it, ‘‘The wise men had
to journey a long way to see the star of
Bethlehem, but the shepards saw it as they
humbly did their duty and watched their
flocks by night.” Many have learned to
wrestling in prayer for those who are en-
slaved by the power of intoxicating drink.
How may I know abont these wines ?
By a careful study of passages which
speak of the different wines. The context
makes it plain which kind is’ meant in
most instances.
Will a knowledge of Eastern customs
help. :
Most certainly ; and those whom God has
alggady taught by His Spirit can teach
others ; and amongst these are many emi-
nent Theologians and scholars.
Is “wine’’ a generic word, a word used
for the good and the bad ?
Yes, as much as ‘‘man,”’ for man may be
good or bad, and only by the context can
we tell if we are reading of the righteous
or the sinful man.
Can you illustrate the two kinds of wine |
by other objects ?
Yes. Wine is grape juice.
i
It may be |
{
| fresh or putrid, apples good or rotten.
| In hot countries, do other liquids become
| intoxicating when exposed to the atmos- |
| phere ? i
| Yes, the sap of certain trees, refreshing
| in the morning, is often intoxicating be-
! fore night. Also honey quickly changes.
| What has this to do with Bible wines?
{
for many who would not like to be called |
unlearned are so misinformed as to say |
|
Some go further, and |
that grow larger and darker, withering the | assert that there is no such thing as non-in-
leaves and causing the plants to die.

cation of which must be discontinued 15 or
20 days before blanching.
—Unless it is intended to fatten the dry
cow care should be taken not to feed any
fattening food. If she is to have a calf
within a month or two, some succulent
food that will keep her digestion good is
best. In such case, too, the milking should
be continued as long as possible, if for no
other reason than to prevent the cow from
hecoming too fat. Yet the opposite evil,
of having the cow too thin, must decrease
her value as a milker all the following sea-
son. ‘
—The family strawberry patch is not un-
usually large, and can therefore, be given
the best of attention. Rake the beds and
clear off all the refuse, or burn the beds
over. Then sprinkle fine hone meal and
muriate of potash over the rows, or use
well-rotted manure that is free from litter,
covering the beds with straw or salt hay,
and placing cornstalks or brush on the hay.
Early in spring remove the mulch and
sprinkle nitrate of soda over the rows, he-
fore the plants begin to grow.
—Experiments at the Cornell station
demonstrated that the cost of a pound of
butter was 12} cents; at the Minnesota
station, 11 cents, and at the Missouri sta-
tion, 11 cents. The cheapest butter made
was by a cow in June, at 2} cents per
“pound, but another cow in November, con-
sumed 55 cents’ worth of food while pro-
ducing a pound of butter. The cost of but-
ter, however, is less in summer than dur- !
ing the winter, and some cows can produce
butter at less cost than can others. For
that reason the farmer who does use
pure breeds, and carefully select every sow
will not be able to produce butter at the
lowest possible cost.
—No one can inform a farmer in regard
to the requirements of his farm as well as |
the teachings of experience. It is the hun-
dred details which come only under the
observation of the farmer which enable him
to make the proper changes in his plans.
The methods practiced on one farm may be
unsuitable for the next.
tile valley is different from working a hill-
side farm. Then there is stony land, sticky
clay, sand lots and other variations of soil
in a neighborhood. Every enterprising
farmer, however, will endeavor to improve
and accept the results of the experiments
of others, making them applicable to his
farm wherever possible if it is to his advan-
tage to do do so.
—Farmers object at times to expending |
money for fertilizers, relying entirely upon
manure, but the low yields on some farms
demonstrate that the farmer should not
hesitate to use fertilizers liberally, as it
is not possible to manure a large farm every
year.
ing that it may be four or five years before
the first manured field is reached again.
In the meantime the field has perhaps |
borne four or five crops, and i$ poorer than
at the time of receiving the first applica- |
tion of manure. The use of fertilizers will
enable the farmer, to apply plant food to
his crops every year (using manure as be- |
fore), thus increasing the yield of crops
and avoiding loss of fertility.
It is | toxicating wine.
Cultivating a fer- |
The system usually practiced is to |
manure one field at a time, the result be-
Do learned men talk like this?
| Yes, but they are not rightly informed |
| Why do you not agree with them ? |
| Because such a want of common sense !
| represents the Bible as a hook to be ridi- |
culed.
How ridiculed ? |
For contradicting the established truth |
of science and experience, and also fre- |
quently contradicting itself. |
Who can disprove such arguments ?
Those who make unfermerited and fer-
mented wines ; also travellers in the East
and in the North of Africa, as well as in
grape growing countries on the Continent,
where the pure, unfermented wine is a
common beverage. Travellers in Alexan-
dria have seen skin bottles filled with un-
fermented grape juice, which have been in
the wine stores for longer or shorter periods
without any sign of fermentation taking
place.
Do not the errorists on this subject say
that it is impossible to keep pure wine from
fermenting ?
Yes, but a wine maker on the Moselle
keeps tons of such wine, and the flavour of
the old is better than the new, thus ex-
plaining the words of our Lord—‘‘No man
having drunk the old wine straightway de-
sireth new, for he saith ‘‘The 01d is bet-
ter.”’—Luke v. 39.
How is unfermented wine kept ? i
In many ways, some of which have heen |
handed down to us from the earliest days |
of the Christian era. Pliny gives a large
number of recipes for this purpose, and he ;
is followed by many other writers of var-
ious nationalities. Sometimes heat is the |!
principal agent, and sometimes cold. Some
recipes give a list of aromatic substances to
be added to the juice which, besides giving |
to it a special flavour, preserves it from !
fermentation. |
Is not the process of boiling the same for |
keeping bottled froits and fruit juices ? !
Yes. 2
“Can you give texts to prove that grapes |
are called wine?
In Gen. xxvii. 28, ‘Plenty of corn and
wine’’ should be ‘‘Plenty of corn and vine
fruit.”” In Jer. x1. 1I, 12, ‘‘Gather wine
| and summer fruits’’ clearly means ‘Gather
grapes,’’ ete.
Where is grape juice unfermented spok-
(en of ?
. In Gen. xI1.11, we learn that Pharoah
| drank.it. In Isa. lxv. 8, the ‘new. wine’’
| in the bunch of grapes was unfermented,
{In Deut, xxxii.-9, 14, we are told that
| “Jacob drank the pure blood of the grape,’’
| or unfermented wine. -
| Isthere any marked disapproval where
"intoxicating drink is meant ?
Yes, in Deut. xxxii. 15-33, we see how
| the self-indulgence of the Jeshurun type,
{ led by unlawful desiresand appetites, went
| after other gods, and ‘‘their wine was the
| poison of dragons.’”” What a contrast this
1 is to ‘Jacob, whom God alone did lead.”
Are there any other such passages ?
‘Go not in the way of the wicked ; they
{drink the wine of violence,’’—Prov. iv.
| 14-17.
By what names is intoxicating drink
i known in the Bible ?
By the same names as the devil—a mock-
! er, a deceiver, the poison of dragons, etc.
Is the drinking of intoxicants forbidden ?
Yes, in Levit, x. 8-12. “Do not drink
; wine nor strong drink when ye go into the
| Tabernacle of the congregation.”’ This
was uttered by the Lord after the awful | when
death of Nadab and Abihu, who had,
probably under the influence of intoxica-
ving drink, offered strange fire unto the
Lord.
Is there another prohibition ?
Yes, ‘‘Look not upon the wine when it
is red.””—Prov. xxiii. 31. The juice of
extracts the red out of the skins, and the
wine is red by the time it is intoxicating.
Would it not prevent misunderstanding,
if unfermented wines were the natural
colour, nearly white ?
We think it would, but to please theeye
it is coloured for those who wish it with
the juice from a tiny grape which resembles
a black currant.
Where are woes pronounced against the
drunkard’s drink ?
Isa. xxviil. 1, 3, 7, and 8 to 18 ; Hab, ii.
5-15, ete.
Was the destruction of cities associated
The wealth of Babylon was used to make
the nations of the earth mad, and Eng-
land’s wealth is being used in the same
way.—(Jer. li, 6-9), Babylon was de-
stroyed. (Nahum i, 1 to 10 ; Nahum iii, 1
to 11) Nineveh was destroyed.
Is there any passage that fitly describes
the drink traffic ?
Isa. xxviii. 15.
covenant with hell.
Are abstainers specially blessed ?
Yes, the Rechabites (Jer xxxv.), Daniel,
Samson, John the Baptist, and many
others.
Explain the first Miracle of our Lord ?
Dr. Isaac, a Rabbi. says fermented wine
was considered to contain an omen of evil,
and it would have been an insult to offer
this to the newly married.
Into what difficulty do those lead us who
say that the Lord Jesus made intoxicating
wine ?
That our Saviour did what no consistent
abstainer would do. ‘‘The disciple is not
above his Lord.”
Where is there a verse to prove that feast-
ing upon intoxicating wine is a sin ?
Isa. v 11, 12, 20, 25.—‘“Woe unto them
that rise up early in the morning to follow
strong drink, that continue until night till
wine inflame them.’” There is no sight
more disgusting than the hilarious or
changed condition of those who are inflam-
ed with wine, and the first draught of in-
toxicating wine begins to work this
change.
Could the son of God encourage anything
so degrading ?
No, this is the devil’s work.
State another reason why the Saviour
could have nothing to do with intoxicating
drink. >
Because it defiles, and Jesus was unde-
filed.
How do we know it defiles even God’s
servants?
Look at the cases of Noah and Lot.
What other proofs have you ?
The great army of those living in im-
purity ; intoxicating drink is rarely absent
from the bodies of such, and it is nearly
always the cause of the first step on a

the unleavened wine.
What is used by the Jews to-day ?
fermented grape juice has always been |
valid, and if not easily obtained, boiled !
raisin syrup may be used. {
Is it not strange that so many Christian ;
churches are still satisfied with the peculiar
mixtures palmed off upon the public as |
wine, much of which has never seen the |
grape ?
Yes, indeed it is strange ! i
Is it not a great danger to substitute in- |
toxicating wine for the harmless ‘‘fruit of
the vine,’’ so named by our Lord ?
Yes, both to those who administer and
those who receive, and the numbers of re-
claimed drunkards who go back into sin
through this cause should teach this great
lesson—also the large number of our teach-
ers and leaders who become drunkards,and
are to be found in the company of drink’s
victims in our poorest lodging houses.
Can a destructive agent of the devil be a
suitable symbol of salvation ?.
Certainly not! The drunkard who best
understands the drink often says it has the
devil in it. The Christian would have us
believe it has Christ in it. If this were |
true, Christ would be the minister of sin, |
and the drunkard who wants to be deliver-
ed from the slavery of this sin would be no
better off when he wishes to be a follower
of Christ.
Is all this error giving place to truth ?
Yes, at least 6,000 churches in the Brit- |
ish Tsles have put awa;
from the Table of the Lord. |

Kd >
As the old and new cloth won’t agree in
the torn garment, neither will new wine in
an old or dirty leather bottle. The Saviour
wished to prevent waste and fermentation,
and advised a clean bottle. This is the
advice in any kitchen where fruit 1s being
preserved. :
What wine did Paul advise to Timothy ?
As a wise counsellor, he could not urge
a young man to drink fermented wine in-
stead of unfermented. Probably Timothy
drank watar only. Thecommon drink was
and is still, the grape juice mingled with
water. : |
What could he have advised *
The same treatment as that prescribed
for weak digestion by the grape cure on the
Continent, which is either the eating of
grapes or the drinking of their juice mingl- |
ed with water.
Was Timothy observing the Nazarite
vow regarding drink and the eating of |
grapes ? !
See num. vi. 1-4. He may have abstain- |
ed entirely from the grape. |
How in Eastern countries is this pure
wine made and used ?
A boy born in Palestine said he was as-
tonished at the ignorance of English people
who thought all wine in Palestine was
fermented. He narrated the following :
“My mother bought up large quantities of |
grapes in the season and hoiled them down, |
and carefully kept this preparation for use |
when we could not get the grapes. Some- |
times, it was diluted with water, for it |
could be made solid. Some of our neigh- |
bours did not carefully prepare their wine |
and it fermented, and made them stupid,
and my mother would not let me touch
that. And he added, with reverence, of

course the Lord Jesus would never touch it
it would make Him stupid.
Is not the mind stupefied through even
the moderate drinking of the brandied
mixtures sold as wine in the, present day ? |
Yes, and unfortunately the intoxicating
power pleases the senses, and weakens the
desire to see the truth.
How have some been enlightened ?
By drinking for health purposes the life-
giving and nourishing fruit of the vine.
What other terms distinguish the intoxi-
cating from the pure wine in Scripture ?
It is called ‘‘the cruel venom of asps,’”’
and described as ‘biting like a serpent, and
stinging like an adder.”
Does science agree with these Bible state-
ments ?
Yes, the poisonous serpent is sure of its
victim, and the drink often takes hold of
the drinker and his children ; for they can
not escape’ the punishment of weakened
will power, shaitered nerves, imbecility,
and other horrors which descend to ‘‘the
third and fourth generation.’
Did not the loving Father know of this
inheritance of suffering?
Yes, and to prevent this, He warned us
against the formation of deadly habits and
encouraging depraved tastes which quench
or thrust out the Spirit of God our only
Helper. .
What encouragement have abstainers to
wage this war against so mighty a foe?
The assurance that the battle is the
Lord’s, and that Christ is our Captain, who
will help us win it for stricken humanity.
When discouraged at the fierceness of the
struggle, what passage should we read ?
Rev. xxi. 20, where the foundation of
the wall of the Heavenly Jerusalem is de-
scribed. It is ornamented with precious
stones, and the twelfth and last is the
Ameythyst. This word is derived from
two Greek words—Anot ; and methustos a
user of strong drink. Total abstainers are
not users of strong drink. God grant that

A GREAT NOVEL
OF THE
AMERICAN REVOLUTION
its leading serial “feature for 1897 and the master-
piece of its, author Dr. 8. Weir Mitchell. The story,
“Hugh Wynne, Free Quaker,” purports to be the
autobiography of its hero, an officer on Washing-

of the Revolution is most interestingly depicted,
and the characters include Washington, Frank-
lin, Lafayette, and others well known in history.
It is safe to say that the readers of this great ro-
mance will obtain from it a clearer idea of the
people who were foremost in Revolutionary days,
and of the social life of the times, than can be had
from any other single source. The workiis not
only historically accurate, but is a most interest-
ing story of love and war. The first chapters are
in the November number. Howard Pyle will il-
lustrate it.

BY GENERAL HORACE PORTER,

through the war is the basis of the present articles
which are striking pen-pictures of campaign life
and scenes. They will be fully illustrated. The
first one is in the November Century.

“MASTER SKYLARK,’
0 BY JOHN BENNETT.
IMustrated by Birch. :
THIS is a live story, full of action, color, merri-
ment, and human nature. The world’s greatest
poet figures as one of the principal characters, al-
though the hero and heroine are a boy and a girl.
It is poetic in treatment, but full of the romance
of the Elizabethan age, and very dramatic
in plot. Another serial, beginning in Novem-
ber, is 3
