CHRIST’S MISSION
Luke 4:18. The Spirit of the Lord
is upon me, because he hath an
ointed me to preach the gospel to
the poor; he hath sent me to heal
the broken-hearted, to preach de
liverance to the captives, and re
covering of sight to the blind, to
set at liberty them that are bruised.
Luke 19:10. For the Son of man
is come to seek and to save that
which was lost.
John 14:2, 3. In my Father’s
house are many mansions; if it were
not so, I would have told you. I
go to prepare a place for you, I
will come again, and receive you
unto myself; that where I am, there
ye may be also.
PRAYER: O Lord, Thy ways are
not as our ways, neither are Thy
thought our thoughts, for as the
heaven is high above the earth, so
are Thy thoughts and Thy ways
above ours.
What did Jesus say about prayer?
Answer, read—Matt. 21:22.
CHURCH OF CHRIST
Choose for Soil
If you plan to plant a legume
crop and the soil is poor, two
things should be considered in
choosing the crop, says the U. S.
department
of
agriculture—the
locality and the amount of lime in
the land. On poor land with plenty
of lime, which gets about 17 inches
of rain, sweet clover is usually the
best legume. Where land is deficient
in lime, velvet beans, sowpeas, or
soybeans are best in the South, and
adapted varieties of the latter crop
do well fairly far north. On poor
sandy land in the far North, hairy
,vetch and rye do well.
Horse Bots and Razor Blades
One solution of disposing of the
old razor blades has been found!
The U. S. department of agricul
ture says the botfly eggs attached
to the horse can be shaved off
with a safety razor. Another way
is to destroy them with a 2 per
cent
caol-tar-creosote
solution.
If the bootflies are inside the horse,
he should be dosed with carbon
bisulphide by a veterinarian. These
methods wil control all three kinds
If the botflies are inside the horse,
common botfly, the throat botfly,
and the nose botfly. December and
January, when the botflies have
ceased to fly, are the best months
to control them, says the depart
ment of agriculture.
