IN THE PUBLIC EYE. SIR WILLIAM HENRY PERKIN. The famous English chemist to whom the entire world is indebted for the practical processes for making this coal tar products that play so im portant a part in the world's progress to-day, and are used daily by all of us. The “Hay-Stove.” The following account of a hay- stove taken from The Farmer will 4y be of Interest to our readers: The hay-stove is a very simple af fair, eats no fuel, and, not being pat ented will not create a monopoly, and, up to date, is the only thing that has beaten Rockefeller. Make a box about two feet long, one foot high, and one foot wid6, put on a close cove with hinges and fas tened with hanger r.nd hasp, or with hook when closed. The manner of closing the cover is immaterial, but it should bo close fitting. Fill the box with hay, making a nest or nests for the vessel or kettle to be put in. Make a cushion or pillow of hay of the size of the box to be laid on top after the vessel is nested closely with hay, then close the cover and do not open till reatfy to use the food. Excelsior can be used instead of hay with almost the same result, but asbestos I cannot recommend. The enamel granite ware dishes have been found very satisfactory to meal and water in the proportion of one cup of oatmeal to two and one- half cups of water, let it boil five minutes, place in the hay-stove nest and in t .e morning you will not sim ply eat but enjoy your oatmeal. Should the quantity used be very The Hay-Stove. us. Still earthenware, bean-jars, etc., can be used but take a little longer to heat through, hence are not so economical of fuel. If the cover is not a good fit, a newspaper may be folded around the top of the vessel as it is put in the nest. If potatoes are to be used at 6 p. m. prepare same at noon. Salt, boil them for six or eight minutes and while still boiling put in the hay- stove, cover with the pillow, close the box and Lave undisturbed till ready to use. For beef ste.\, chicken, etc., cut Into pieces as desired, season, boil about fifteen minutes then put in the hay-stove in the morning, at noon put in the vegetables wanted, reheat the stew by boiling it for five min utes put buck in the hay-stove and leave till ready to use for dinner. If twelve o ’clock dinner is served, pre pare the stew in the evening and re heat in the same manner in the morn ing. Stewed or creamed chicken treated t h i ; way has a much finer fla vor than if cooked in the ordinary manner. Rice— Boll in water for ten min utes, drain, put in the milk and when boiling remove to the hay-stove, and, when ready to use the next meal you will find each kernel whole but thor oughly cooked. Beans— Parboil in the usual man ner, place in the hay-stove in the Bvenlng, then bak in the oven for a couple of hours the next morning and your beans will be fine for lunch. Corned beef Is much improved by be ing cooked in V e hay-stove in a sim ilar manner. Do you want oatmeal for break fast? Then, while doing your dishes In the evening pvt into a vessel oat- PRINCE CHRISTOPHER. Sailor Son of the King of Greece. IN T E R E S T _ * T O T h B - V fi»vRZ*\ER WEEDS IN FENCE CORNERS. One of the greatest nuisances in farming is the way in which weeds are encouraged and protected in the corners of fences and in the vicinity of fences, from which places their seed is scattered over the surround ing lands. The extent to which seeds are scattered from one field to an other by high winds proves that one neglectful farmer may annoy hun dreds of others by failing to exter minate the foul herbage.— The Epi- tomist. FERTILITY NOT ALWAYS LOST. Land does not always give imme diate results from liberal manuring. The more completely decomposed the manure the better the crop, as such manure is more soluble. If manure when applied be coarse and full of litter, it may require two or more years before it will reach a condi tion to be of service, which explains the securing of heavier crops at times during the second year than during the first.— Florida A g r icu l turist.

We have used the hay-stove in our family for two years and have found it a great convenience, it is used this year in dozens of homes by the best housekeepers in our city and in variably gives entire satisfaction.— A. E. Rice, Willmar, Minn. Book For Morgan’s Friends. Of all the art possessions of J. Pierpont Morgan, he is proudest of his miniatures. In order to proclaim their beauty and their fame to all his friends he is having them repro duced in colors in a sumptuous book, the cost of each copy being $100. But the public is to see nothing of the gorgeous volume. The publisher is bound to print but one edition of about 100 copies, \Which will be dis tributed as gifts among Mr. Morgan’s own friends. The great financier prides himself on possessing the finest and most rep resentative collection of miniatures in the world. It is especially rich in specimens of Cosway’s, Cooper’s and Hilliard’s works. King Edward has asked for a copy of the book, and Mr. Morgan has replied that he will be delighted to forward his majesty an advance copy.— Chicago Record-Her ald. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

There are two objections to this ac cording to W allace’s Farmer. First, there is danger of them being in jured by the cattle; second, and more important, they get too much fat- producing food. If the sow is fed alto gether on fat-producing food how can she be expected to develop a litter of strong pigs, mostly muscle, bone, hair, etc., unless she robs her own system? And if she has robbed her own body for three months she is in no condition to take care of and nourish the litter. SOURCES OF MANURE VALUE. The plant food in a ton of manure varies greatly with the materials used for feed and bedding. Thus wheat straw contains per ton about ten pounds of nitrogen, two pounds of phosphorus and seventeen pounds of potassium; timothy hay contains about twenty-four, three and twen ty-four pounds of these respective elements; and clover hay about for ty, five and thirty pounds respective ly of nitrogen, phosphorus and po tassium. At fifteen cents a pound for nitrogen, twelve cents for phos phorus, the value of these elements is $2.76 in a ton of wheat straw, $5.40 in timothy hay, $8.40 in clover hay, and $9.42 in a ton of alfalfa hay. SCALY LEG IN POULTRY. The appearance of a flock of poul try is frequently marred by a rough, scaly formation which covers the shank. The formation is caused by a parasite. This does not seem to Interfere with the laying of the hens pr to cause them serious inconve nience. However, it is unsightly, and certainly does no good, and for tunately it is not very difficult to get rid of. Coal oil, which so frequently serves the poultryman’s purpose, is the specific in this case. The scale can be most quickly removed by im mersing the entire shank in coal oil. This is, however, rather severe on the fowl as the oil will blister. Therefore we should recommend a slower but milder method of treat ment. This consists in greasing the shanks several times with a mixture of lard and coal oil. We advise poul- trymen whose flocks are affected this way to try the remedy.— B. M. D. MADE WATER DO THE WORK. An instance of the practical ap plication of scientific education is thus reported by an exchange: “The son of a New York farmer recently graduated from a course In electrical engineering. When he came home he concluded that the little brook run ning through the farm ought to go to work for father. He built a dam and a little power house, in wjiich were installed dynamos and motors. At present the brook, which a year ago ran uselessly through the mea dows, furnishes electric light for the house and barn, heat for the wintet months and power for the cream sep arator, churn and other small mi- chinery about the place.” The farmer is, doubtless, already much more than repaid for the expense of his son’s scientific Instruction, as is every pa rent in time, in some way, who assists his children \to develop and be able to make use of any special natural ability they may powesn In any line. Subject: The Passover, Fv. 12:21-30 — Golden Text: Ex. 12:13 — Memorjj Verses, 20, 27— Com mentary on the Day’s Lesson. This is the story of God’s blood covenant with Israel in Egypt. Cov enants are a feature of the historic life of the East. A bread covenant lasts for forty years we are told. When a man breaks bread with an other he Is that man’s friend for four decades. The blood covenant between men is an everlasting cove nant. So it is here. With the shed ding of the blood of the lamb the covenant of God with Israel reaches out to eternity. The lesson is replete with \lessons. God gave the Israelites the covenant because they trusted in Him and called upon Him in their distress. Israel put her hope in God and she made an effort to keep in some meas ure the commands of God. She was caught in the whirlpool of a national and industrial and spiritual iniquity that, seemed overwhelming. The people were so bowed down with the sins that were practiced against them that they were in danger of losing their courage and hope itself. There seemed to be no human way of es cape. God, however, heard their cries of suffering. Their sorrow reached His heart. They looked to Him for deliverance. And He deliv ered them. Their deliverance came because they came to a realizing sense of their dependence on God. And we must become conscious of our need for God if we are to enter into the covenant, which God at a later day made with men In the per son of Jesus Christ. It is remarkable that Egypt reaped the consequences of her own mis doings. God brought no hasty judg ment to bear on these evil people. The king and the nation were warned nine times before the final and the awful consequences of their own in iquity fell upon them. And as Egypt was warned so we are warned. Sin -has cumulative consequences. We do not reap the worst at first. The evil that men do is followed by con sequences that, are in the nature of | a warning. They are not final, in a sense. The consequences of sin are like the pains that are incidental to ! physical ills. A sick body warns in | the very pain that we undergo that l something Is the matter, that we are | reaping the consequences of physical j misdoing. And so the consequences, many and varied as they are, that follow in the wake of sin are warn ings to us to desist. They are in a way the voice of God speaking to us through the immutable laws of His own world. Pharaoh had due notice of the consequences of his sin against Israel, but he would not heed the warning. Sin became a habit with him and the consequences of that sin became increasingly acute and horrible. So it is with our sin. If we do not heed the early warning we may be sure that we shall reap a worse harvest of evil consequences in the end. Another noticeable thing is that the Israelites had to help themselves out of their trouble. God made the promise to them that when the de struction fell on the first born of the land He would pass them by if their door posts were sprinkled with the shed blood of the lambs. That made it necessary that they should be helpers in the work that God was to accomplish for them. This is the divine plan and it is the only plan. If God had saved them from the gen eral calamity without making them do something for themselves in or der- to jmake this salvation effective they would not have valued it so highly as they did. We must co operate with God. And in the Chris tian economy no man can be saved unless he is willing to co-operate with God. If God did not demand that we should conform to His plans for our redemption in Christ we should not value that salvation as highly as we do. But because v»: are called upon to work out our own salvation under the guidance and em powering of God Himself we prize salvation in Jesus Christ as the great est boon that the worhi holds for hu manity. The three words that close the 2 8th verse of the lesson show why it is that Israel escaped, why the Passover is commemorated by loyal Jews everywhere to-day, why it is that this episode in the life of the chosqn people of God has remained as a classic witness to the truth that God shepherds the peoples who love Him. “So did they!” That is to say they were obedient. And obedi ence always has brought its reward and it always will bring Us reward. We in America to-day are desirous of being released from the power of evil men and evil conditions that have made life hardly worth the liv ing for multitudes of our people and that have made us all hang our faces in shame. But we shall never enter Into the promised land of the realized kingdom of God in this country until we obey God. If the Israelites had not done precisely as God had com manded there would have been, no deliverance for them. And America Is no more precious to God than Is rael was. And Americans are living under no different regulations than those under which Israel lived. To be saved we must do as God tells ds. And whenever we hear a\ clear call of God for service or for duty It is for us not to deny the duty or the call, but to give it supremacy In our lives. Henry F.
