A. Factor Iteonlrl^a Consideration
In Growing Frn^ Trees.
In some parts of the country sun
scald is one of the most important
factors in growing fruit trees. Espe
cially is this true in the southwestern
states, where the danger from sun
burning controls th* whole practice
of cultivation and pruning. In that
country the trees are headed low, even
down to within a foot or six inches of
the ground, In order to protect the
trunks. At the same time any consul
EFFECT OF BUN SCALD,
erable pruning in the tops is avoided,
because it would expose the larger
branches to the deadly sun scald. Tills
difficulty is less frequently met in the
northeastern states, but the writer (P.
A. Waugh, In The Country Gentleman)
has lately visited an orchard as far
north as Canada and New England ljnc,
where nearly 50 per cent of the trees
were ruined by tills trouble. They
were pruned too high, with heads six,
seven and eight feet/from the ground.
Sun scald is usually worst on apples
and pears, but it may appear on al
most any tree. The accompanying il
lustration is from a tree of Downer’s
Late Red cherry growing (or dying) in
Maryland. When the damage Is as
old as this, where it lias been accumu
lating for several years, it is doubtful
If any remedy can lie applied, though
one can see in the photograph how,per
sistently this tree has tried to heal
over the wound. When taken in the
early stages, sun scald may be cured
by protecting the trunk, with boards,
papers, straw or some similar material.
At the same time the scaly, burned
parts should be cleaned away, and
some sort of wax may be applied. The
best treatment for sun scald, however,
Is to avoid It.
Sunburns uro usually only the be
ginning of other serious"troubles. Bor
ers commonly follow closely after.
Bacteria and molds gain access and
cause increased damage to wood and
bark, and the rain and sun check and
crack the exposed tissues, to their
great and permanent detriment. It is
doubtless a fact that sun scald is a
more important enemy of fruit trees
than many of the fungi that have been
extensively studied and elaborately
discussed in recent books and bulle
tins.
OverMtuiKiilne Dairymen.
B. D. says In The Country Gentle
man that the Five States Milk compa
ny has entailed great hardship on a
good many dairymen individually. The
high prices which the company pro
posed to pay to tlie milk producer in
duced many farmers to purchase an
extra number of cows, nnd the demand
for cows caused their former owners
to ask high prices for them. Bather
than lose the prospective prolits of
milk a considerable number of dairy
men who had not the ready money to
purchase with went into debt for the
animals and now have that debt to
pay. The milk company has collaps
ed, and the farmers havo these extra
cows on tlieir hands, with no place to
use the milk. Some of it will undoubt
edly find Its way to the nearest cheese
factory, but under the most favorable
circumstances those who have bought
cattle on credit, expecting to got half
a cent extra for their milk nnd In that
way work out the cost, are placed in a
most unfortunate position. The sug
gestion lias been made that creameries
be built In the neighborhood of some
of these new dairy farms and the milk
be used in that way. But it takes mon
ey to build creameries, and those who
have gone into debt for cows will
hardly feel like going In still deeper
by subscribing for stock in a new com
pany. What will be the Anal result of
those conditions It Is as yet too early to
foresee.
Qnullt.v of Mtlk.
The amount of cream thrown up on
milk Is such a misleading guide that it
has long ago been given up in the milk
ing tests of the British Dairy Farmers’
association, and we now depend on an
analysis alone. While American ex
periments have shown that in the
amount of butter which can be recov
ered from a given quantity of milk
there may be a variation of as much as
BO per cent, depending on the nature of
the food given, nil the while the
analyses of two differing milks may be
approximately alike—in other words,
the “risibility” of the cream and the
“Churnability” of the same are large
ly influenced by the nature of the food,
while the chemical analysis of the milk
Is not Influenced at alt or only to a
flight degree or temporarily.
One does not break with the beliefs
of his youth very easily, and I have
been hard to convince myself that tire
quality of the milk did not directly de
pend on the quality of the food, hut
when all the experiments that have
actually been tried on the point bear
out the new theory 1 am bound to
come to the conclusion that the quality
of the food by Itself alone has'little or
nothing to do with tne quality of the
milk.—P. O. McConnell, B. Sc., la Agri
cultural Gazette, England.

Text of the I.eHson, Rut. ill, 3-11.
Memory Veroeo, P», 0—Golden Text,
Rom. vi 11, 31 — Commentary Pre
pared by the Rev. D. M. Stearns.
[Copyright, 1899, by D. M. Stearns.]
1. “After these things did King Abat
er us promote Haman, the son of Ham
medatha, the Agagite, and advanced
him and set his seat above all the princes
that: were wit.h him.” This wicked man
and other wicked men, placed in positions
of power and authority, make us think
of Dan. iv, 17, “The Most High ruleth in
the kingdom of men and givetli it to
whomsoever He will and setteth up over
it the basest of men.” We have seen in
the book of Ezra how the enemies of God
and His people were permitted to pros
per up to a certain point, but were in due
time overcome. In this book of Esther
wo see the enemy prospering wonder
fully for a time, but sudden and fearful
was his downfall.
2. “And all the king’s servants that
were in the king's gate bowed and rever
enced Haman, for the king had so com
manded concerning him, but Mordecai
bowed not nor did him reverence.” Here
is a man who, like Daniel nnd his friends,
fears not the face of man because ho
fears God, and to an enemy of God he
will not bow, let the result be what it
may. Because of Amhlek’s rebellion
against God and His people it had been
determined to blot out the remembrance
of him from under 'heaven (Ex. xvii, 16;
Dent, xxv, 17-19). Had Mordecai bowed
to Haman he would have done so to an
enemy of God, nnd this he would not do.
3. “Then the king’s servants which
were in the king’s gate said unto Mor
decai, Why transgressest thou the king’s
commandment?” These servants knew
no king but Ahasuerus. Like the Jews
in the time of Christ, they would say,
We have no king but Caesar (John xix,
15). How many who bear the name of
Christian would have to confess if they
spoke truly? O Lord, our God, other
Lords besides thee have dominion over us
(Isa. xxvi, 13). Many there are who con
tinually break the first commandment,
Thou shalt have no other gods before me
(Ex. xx, 3). Mordecai could truthfully
say: The Lord is my lawgiver, the Lord
is my judge, the Lord is my king. He
will save me (Isa. xxxiii, 22).
4. "now, it came to pass, wnen tney
spake daily unto him and he hearkened
not unto them, that they told Human to
see whether Mordecai’s matters would
stand, for he had told them that he was
a Jew.” Mordeeai was established and
therefore unmoved by the continual'
words of the king's servants. He believed
God, for that is the only way to be estab
lished (II Chrou. xx, 2ft; Isa. vil, 9). The
word for us is. Be ye therefore stead
fast, unmovable, always abounding in
the work of the Lord (I Cor. xv, 58).
We should say with Paul; With me it is
a very small thing that I should be judged
of you or of man’s judgment.' He that
judgeth (lie is the Lord (I Cor. iv,-6, 4).
5. “And when Hainan saw thnt Mor
decai bowed not nor did him reverence
then was Human full of wrath.” Just
so did Nebuchadnezzar act when Dan
iel’s friends bowed not to him. It is all
of Batan when any one wants to be wor
shiped or reverenced instead of giving
all the glory to God- He wanted even
the Son of God to worship him (Math, iv,
9), and his followers have the same spir
it, making out that they are some great
ones to whom others must bow down
(Acts v, 3(5; viii, 9). This spirit, which
has been so fully seen since they said at
Babel, Let us make us a name (Gen.
xi, 4), shall be finally and most fully seen
in the antichrist, or man of sin, or law
less one of the last days (Dan. xi, 30, 37;
II Thess. ii, 4, 8, etc.).
0. “And he thought scorn to lay hands
on Mordeeai alone, * * * wherefore Ila
mnn sought to destroy nil the Jews.”
Death is the devil's weapon (Hab. ii, 14).
Therefore Cain killed Abel, Pharaoh kill
ed the male children of Israel, Herod
killed the babes in Bethlehem, and so it
goes and will go till the last enemy, death,
shall be destroyed (I Cor. xv, 26). It is
the nature of the wicked to watch the
righteous and seek to slay him, but the
Lord will not suffer It unless it is for the
highest good ana greatest glory of the
righteous (Ps. xxxvii, 32, 33).
7. It would seem from this verse, when
compared with chapter ix, 24, that for
about a year Hainan was plotting anti
planning the destruction of the Jews- It
is said of the wicked that they devise
mischief upon their beds and set them
selves in a way that Is not good (Ps.
xxxvi, 4). It is bad enough when ene
mies speak evil of us, whisper together
against us aud devise our hurt, but it is
worse if those who were our familiar
friends turn against us, yef even that is
but a phase of our fellowship with Christ
(Ps. xli, 5-9; John xv, 20, 21).
8. “And Human said unto King Ahas
uerns, There is a certain people scattered
abroad aud dispersed among the people in
all the provinces of the kingdom, aud
their laws are diverse from all people;
neither keep they the king’s laws. There
fore it is not for the king’s profit to
suffer them.” Thus were the Jews slan
dered to tile king when the temple was
being builded (Ess. vi, 12, 13). The testi
mony against Paul and Silas was, These
men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble
our city and teach customs which are
not lawful for us to receive, neither to
observe, being Homans (Acts xvi, 20,
21). But nothing was ever said about
any one quite so bad ns that which our
Lord’s enemies said about Him, the pure
and holy Lamb of God.
9. “If it please the king, let it be writ
ten Hint they may be destroyed, and 1
will pay 10,000 talents of silver to the
hands of those that have the charge of
the business to bring it into the king’s
treasuries.” What a truly devilish plot
this was to destroy thousands of people
so as to be avenged upon Mordecai!
10. “Aud the king took his ring from
his hand and gave it unto Hainan, the
son of Hammeduthn, the Agagite, the
Jews’ enemy.” Thus the doom of the
Jews seemed about to be accomplished by
their enemy, but God was watching aud
saying: Thus far shnlt thou come. Kings
nnd rulers may set themselves and take
counsel together against the anointed of
the Lord, but He that sitteth in the heav
ens shall laugh. The Lord shall have
them in division (Fs. ii, 1-4).
11. “And the king said unto Hatnau,
The silver is given to thee, the people
also, to do with them as it seemeth good
to thee.” Shall God allow His people
tints to be given into the hand of the en
emy? Sometimes He does, for He said
concerning Israel, I have given the dear
ly beloved of my soul into the hand of her
enemies (Jer. xii. 7).
When Henryk Sienkiewicz, author of
“Quo Vadis, ” cornea to the United
States, he may revisit California, where
he once lived as a member of Mme.
Modjeska’s famous farm colony.
There were in the colony several
painters, four actors, two sculptors,
one engraver and a dozen writers. By
farming they purposed to make a living
while they should write, sculp and paint
better things than were ever done before.
Modjeska financed the farm with
some $18,000 she had saved, but of
course it failed. Sienkiewicz was then
a slender young fellow of 34. After the
crash he worked for awhile on a Polish
