Tho "King drag" has proved very useful in many sections where farmers use It regular ly to keep the surface of tho road smooth. eold notii to spend ami to lend.

Humus In the soil has seldom been taken at Its full worth. The mission which It fulfills Is second in impor tance only to that which is fulfilled by the presence of plant food In the soli, numus is helpful In keeping soil In proper mechanical balance, in binding soils that are much prono to blow, in Increasing the power of soils to ab sorb and hold moisture. When ihe humus Is exhausted In a soli Its mechanlcnl condition suffers. It becomes more Impacted, less easily nerated and less easily penetrated by the roots of plants. Some soils so light ns to lift with tho wind can bo kept from blowing, at least In a great meas ure, by simply keeping them stored ' " " .i-.v, mntter burled In tho soil. Tho lucrenso In the power of soils to hold moisture Is very great when well stored with humus. When commercial fertilizers are sown on land they will fall to re spond properly unless tho land is sup plied with humus. Such being tho case, every effort should bo mndo to store tho land with humus. It would bo possible to havo an excess of humus, but In practice this seldom happens. Humus may bo put into tho'soll In tho form of clover roots, of grass roots, of burled catch crops and barnyard manure. AFRICAN BILL PASSED. Ex-Premier Balfour Calls It a Wonder ful Epoch Maker. London, Aug. 17. After a notable de bate the house of commons unani mously passed the second reading of the South African constitution bill.

The bill, he declared, was n most wonderful Issue from all the contro versies, battles, bloodshed and dilllcul ties to peace, and lie believed tlie world could not show anything like It. The race problem, Mr. Balfour said, was but n fractional part of the great quest Ions parliament wi now decid ing, lie strongly denied that it was intended to give tlie colored races cqnallly with Kurope-nx, declaring that so far as the government, society and the higher form.- of civilization were concerned II would be Impossible to give equal rights to the colored races without threatening the whole fabric of civilization.

(Acts 19: 23-41). E p h 0 s u s In Paul's day was the great oriental I metropolis o f that time. Us p r o x i 111 1 1 y to Greece 11 11 d Northern Africa made it also a meeting place for the mingled cur rents of Knntcrn nnd West e r n thought nnd life. Hero the culture, wcnlth and wick- dm-ss ot the old : nations mot undo; the shadow of the I grandest monuments of ancient art ! and Idolatry, the temple of DInnn. It seems that the hlef business of I the ancient city was tho manufacture I of silver shrines containing a minla - ture Imago of the goddess, which was I sold as a memento of the temple, and I also as a popular Idol, A man by the name of Demetrius had a monopoly of the business, which tlie Bible says I "brought no small gain to the crafts I num." I Hard Times In Idol Trade. Hut after Paul had been preaching In Ephcsus for some time, business began to get dull In tho idol trade. The manufacturers found that the de mand did not eipial tho supply, idols became a drug on tho market, tho people had all gone off after tho popu lar preacher and Diana's shrine was neglected. So Demetrius called his people together and put the blame on the preacher. Ho showed them that the new religion was interfering with their bread and butter. He worked the financial end of the arguments for all It was worth, Jlrcd the hearts of tho mob like an American demagogue, until they rushed forth Into the street to lynch the preacher. They howled about tho houso whero ho was sup loiml to be and not finding Paul, hauled out two of his companions and assaulted them for consorting with such a rascal. Through tho streets they swarmed shouting, "Great is Di ana of the Epheslans!" They finally adjourned to the the atre', where for two mortal hours they yelled and gesticulated and shrieked out their maledictions against anybody and everybody who was opposed to Diana. It was a scene as delirious as Black Friday on tho stock exchauge, with people In a wild stampede of fear, and tho great mass of them howling without any idea what they were yelling about. Or, as the Bible puts it, "Some cried one thing and some another; for the assembly was confused, and tne more part knew not whereforo they were come together." Christianity Revolutionary. Tho lesson taught by this story is that Christianity is revolutionary. There Is nothing so ruinous to every form of sin, nothing that so Interferes with established Iniquity, nothing that has such a tendency to upset things as our glorious Christianity. Re ligion has been often misrepresented as a principle of tears and fastidious ness; afraid of crossing people's pre judices, afraid of making somebody mad: handling men as though they were the very thinnest Bohemian glass, so very delicate that with one rough touch It may be demolished for ever. No! religion Is not a refined and delicate aroma, a spiritual chloro form for people to take until the sharp cutting of life Is over. Men who ought to know better sometimes write books entitled "Apologies for Christianity," the title more expressive of the author than of the book. Religion is not a puny little dwarf to be carried around on exhibition and admired for Its dou cate features. It Is a brawny, robust, revolutionary giant, ransacking and upsetting ten thousand things that now seem to be as fixed and settled as was the worship of Diana. Bullets Versus Raisins. It would not be considered very complimentary to a preacher these days to have such a mob after him as Paul had. But In his day It was un complimentary If he didn't. Paul al ways had an opinion on every subject that he handled, and when ho was In a city, Instead of preaching what tho people liked he preached what he thought they needed. There are so many those dnys who aro floaters hovering over popular sin but never lighting upon it. They uso elegant rhetoric and soft speoch and flatter ing apostrophe. They preach meta physics, dry as a last years' bird nost and ns empty; or they thresh out tho old straw of dead nnd buried evils that nobody can object to. And when a man does rise up who strikes straight from tho shoulder there is al ways a rattling among tho dry bonos, and he is fortunate if he holds on to his job. When the Scotch Covenanters were at one time in battle their am munition gave out nnd they had to wait for bullets. They expected a bar rel of bullets. A barrel came down hut It was the wrong ono, sent by mis take. It was a barrel of raisins. They knocked in tho head of the barrel nnd tat down In defeat. That Is largely the fault now. Churches are dying of great sermons and splendid sorvicos. What we need Is less confestlonar; and more bullets.
