A SIMPLE FRUIT CELLAR.
Design for One That Will Keep Gar
den Truck.
Doubtless many readers of the Sci
entific American hnve found It diffi
cult to keep apples and tho produce of
their gardens, such as carrots, beets,
turnips, colery, etc., In perfect condi
tion until they could be used, writes
P A. Kaiser. The occompanylng draw
ings show a cheap and easily made
fruit cellar In which 1 kept twelve
bushols of apples, besides carrots,
aquashes, and potatoes, from October
until April. My house was six fcot
wide, eight feet long and six feet high,
nnd cost mo about $4. 8maller ones
A Slmmple Fruit Cellar,
can be built for a proportionally small
er sum.
1 dug a hole about eighteen inches
.deep and set the house over it, as
shown in the cross section. The en
trance is made like a box, about
twelve Inche3 deep, so that soil or ma
nure can be spread over the roof to
a depth of about ten Inches. Cleats A
on the Inside of the opening hold
slats B at the bottom of the box open
ing. In the space C I stuff an old tick
filled with straw or leaves. Outside
cover D protects the tick from mois
ture. The rafters should be about
two Inches square, or tx3. Provide a
chimney, B (of wood), which must be
stuffed with straw during zero leath
er. The chimney Is not absolutely
necessary, as the house can be venti
lated through the door during mild
weather. The proper slant for the
roof Is about 45 deg., as earth can be
packed on at that slope. Cover the
roof with a cheap grado of building
paper, or with newspaper, before putting-
on tho earth, but do not use a
paper that has a strong smell, like tar
paper.
I have had this house In use now
during three winters, and it has saved
me more than its cost every year. Ap
ples and vegetables keep fresh and
plump in It, and do not shrivel up as
they will in an inside cellar.
Farmers Must Watch the Crop.
In order to determine what ele
ments of plant food are deficient In a
soil, It Is necessary to carefully study
the growing crop. Many farmers seem
to be of the opinion that a chemical
analysis of the soil will show tho
amount of plant food contained there
in. This however. Is n mistaken Idea,
The chemist can only determine ap
proximately the amount of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash In soil,
without specifically showing what pro
portion of these elements can he tak
en up by the growing plant. A largo
percentage of these elements Is not
available to plant food. Hence the
necessity for them in an available
form. We must turn, then, to the
crop, and by watching it closely dur
ing its growth and by a careful exami
nation when matured, see whether the
soil Is deficient in plant food and what
elements are lacking.
Wce3.
Certain weeds are prevalent In alf
alfa fields. Tho chief ones are dodder,
sweet clover, Russian thistle and
squlrrel-tail grass. One of these dod
der, is a parasite on the alfalfa. Tho
others are all pernicious because they
occupy space that should produce alf
alfa. Dodder, or "love-vine," germinates
from seed and the young plant, when
of sufficient height, entwines itself
about the alfalfa stem and then be
comes disconnected from its own root
and thenceforth feeds upon tho alfal
fa plant.
Fall Care of Sheep.
The fall season of tho year Is a
critical period with the sheep grower.
As this Is the mating season It deter
mines to a groat extent what his protlis
shall or shall not he. Hence careful
attention should be given to the ewe
Hock and 'to tho ram by thono who
would profit largely In the sheep
raising business.
Rotate Garden Crops.
Rotate the crops In the garden.
Land that grew any of the cabbage
tribe last year should be planted to
beans or some other class of plants
this year. Many troubles like club
foot will thus be avoided. As a rule,
fojlow root crops with those which
grow above ground.
If orchard grass Is not sown thickly
It will not be a success. Three bush
els to the acre should be used. Or
chard grass Is jnoro vigorous than
timothy, with a strongor root system;
but If a permanent meadow Is expect
ed It must be top-drossed freely.
Some claim a solution of saltpeter
will kill cabbage worms without In
juring the cabbages. Use air slaked
lime for bugs of any kind that infest
cucumbers, squashes, pumpkins or
melons.

THE THREE FOLD MISSION OF
THE KINO.
International Bible Letton for Mar.
27, MO (Matt. 4:23).
t
The mission of the king as thua
far traced consisted of Just thre
things teaching, preaching and heal
ing. He was first of all a teacher.
Christ the Teacher.
As a Teachor He made plain much
that ,had been obscure, and misinter
preted. Tho whole Jowlsh nation had
been under tho. tuition of men who
were blind leaders of the blind, and
they had all floundered In the ditch
together. But when tho King spoke
He tnught as one having authority
and not as the scribes. He deliberate
ly upset much of the teaching of tho
men of his day, and did It so thorough
ly, clearly and simply, that the com
mon people heard him gladly. Ilia
words appealed to them as reason
able. Intelligent and easy of compre
hension. Tho tendency on tho part of
all mere human teachers is to befog,
confound, obscure, make it difficult
for the untrained mind to follow. But
when the King opened Ills mouth He
taught them, and the wayfaring man
though he were very stmplo could not
err therein. Ho explained the teach
ings of Moses and tho Prophets to the
utter confusion of the scribes and
Pharisees. He showed how utterly
they had misconstrued the meaning
of the simplest language pt the word
and led the people out of the darkness
Into the clear light of truth. As a
wise teacher tho world has never seen
His equal and never will.
Christ, the Preacher.
But Ho is also a Preacher. A teach
er gives Instruction, a preacher
arouses to nctlon. The sermons of
the king are Incomparable, they are
masterpieces, for generations they
have been the models upon which ser
monlc literature has been founded.
The nearer the preacher approximates
to tho Sermon on tho Mount or the
subsequent utterances of the King tho
nearer ho conies to being a model
preacher. Christ never had any diffi
culty in reaching the masses, a thing
tliat troubles modern preachers might
ily. Wherever He set up His pulpit
the people thronged 111m, until ex
haustion compelled repose. Ho knew
what he wanted to say and Ho knew
how to say it so that all would under
stand. He was not a man pleaser by
any means. His words often cut men
to the heart, they sometimes gnashed
upon Him with their tooth, but they
always bore testimony that He
preached as one sent from God, sure
of His message and sure of Its truth,
and applicability to Ihose whom he
addressed.
Christ, the Healer.
And in the next place He was a
great Healer. He came out of eter
nity bearing all the virtue or that un
soiled world in His hands for suffering
humanity. He Instructed the minds of
men. He aroused the souls of men
and He healed the bodies of men. Dis
ease (led at his approach as the dark
ness Ilees before the sun. Chronic ail
ments that had defied the doctors
wore banished from the patient with a
word. Dintanco was no barrier and
dca'h itself gave up its victim at His
command. He was the world's life
giver.
Disciples' Credentials.
And this three fold mission of the
King He transmitted to His disciples.
In His final commission to his. ambas
sadors Ho conferred upon them all
these prerogatives. In the tenth chap
ter of Matthew we are told, And -when
Ho had called unto Him His twelve
disciples. He gave them power against
unclean spirits to cast them out, and
to heal all manner of sickness and all
manner of disease. There is the heal
ing commission. And His final word
was, Go ye therefore and teach all na
tions. There Is the teaching. And
Anally in the eighth chapter of Acts
we are told, Thorefore they that wero
scattered abioad went everywhere
preaching tho words. There Is the
preaching. Teaching, preaching heal
ing that was the mission of the King;
that was the commission of the disci
ples. And It la evident that the peo
ple wero instructed nnd wero intelli
gent along that line, for in tho eplstlo
of James wo find a most remarkable
statement concerning tho administra
tion of the church when he says,
(James 5:13) Is any afflicted among
you? let him pray. Is any merry? let
him sing psalms. Is any sick among
you? let him call for the elders of tho
church; and lot them pray over hlln,
annnintlpg him with oil In tho name
of the Lord; and the prayer of faith
shall save tho sipk, nnd tho Lord shall
raise him up; and if lie have commit
ted sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Coufess your faults to one to another,
and pray one for another, that ye may
bo healed.
Perpetual Credentials.
That is the wuy it was In tho be
ginning. And there is no record that
shows where that credential was ro
moved from the church. It Is a lost
credential, but It Is not a withdrawn
credential. The church has mislaid
It, but It has never been recalled. And
all down through the ages, men of God
have risen up who have recovered this
matchless, dlvlno credential and used
It with all Its old-time power. It has
been counterfeited, but that has only
demonstrated Us genuineness. It has
been claimed by frauds and fanatics,
but that has not Invalidated Its au
thority. Now, as In all past tlmo the
true ambassador of tho King Is fully
authorized to teach tho Ignorant,
preach to the sinful and heal tho sick.

The Bedtime Kits.
O mothers, so weary, discouraged.
Worn out with the cares of the
day,-
You often grow ctorh nnd Impatient,
Complain of the noise and tho play;
For tho day brings so many vexations,
. So many things going amiss;
But, mothers, whatever may vex" you,
Send the children to bed with a
kiss!
The dear llttlo foot wander often,
Perhaps, from the pathway of
right;
The dear llttlo handR find new mis
chief To try you from morn until night:
But think of the desolate mothers
Who'd give all tho world for your
bliss,
And, as thanks for your Infinite' bless
ings, Bend the children to bed with a
kiss!
For some day their noise will not vex
you,
Tho silence will hurt you far moro;
You will long for the sweet children
voices.
For a sweet childish face at the
door.
And to press n child's faco to your
bosom
You'd give all the world for Just
this;
For the comfort 'twill give you In sor
row. Send the children to bed with a
kiss!

"Never had no luck,
Anyway," he sighed.
"Fate has kop' mo down,
Or, at least, has tried;
Never found n cent
All I've got I earned;
No such word as luck

"Never had no help ,
Anywhere," he said.
"Always had to work
For each bite o' bread,
Never took a chance
That I wasn't caught;
Never won a bet,
But I've lost a lot.
"Never had no fun
All my life," he cried.
"Wish when I was born
I could just of died.
Bet you when I'm gone
They'll invent some way
Folks can live right on
Till the Judgment day,
'Cause that there'ud be
Just my luck," said he. :

"At what time does the ball break

"About 3 In the morning, sir."
"Well, then can 1 have a bed until
that time?"
"Yes, certainly; hut If the bed U
asked for you will have to remove."
"Very well," replied Mr. Isaacs, and
nway ho went to get between the

Abbut 3 In the morning he was awak

"What do yon want?" he asked.
"How many are there of you In

"There's me, nnd Daniel, and Mr.

"Then there's plenty of you." And
the speaker passed on, leaving Mr.
Isaacs to enjoy his bed.
