We all enjoyed the address bn
Christian Education, given by Dr.
Peery, president of our Midland col
lege at Atchison, Kans. It would
be a good thing for our young peo
ple, and incidentally for the college,
if he-could pome oftener, or some
one from there to speak on such a
subj ,nt and talk Midland. The pas
tors over the field can do a good
deal, it is true, hut the occasional
visit of some one from the institu
tion helps much. The doctor was
much pleased to hear the old Mid
land yell at our Salem.Sunday school.
Will we have any students for
Midland? Of course we will. Just
wait till we are ready. Seed, Mid
land ."Sunflower seed" is being sowed
and you know that sunflowers gen
erally grow, and where there is
"mush and milk" to feed on it is
bound to be well fed and can hardly
die. Now, parents, if you ask the
boy or girl who comes to our Friday
night practice any one of them will
tell you what this "Mush and Milk
and Sunflower Seed" stun" is, for it
is one of our college yells. It may
be a little loud, hilarious, but when
you are training boys remember you
can't train a boy as you Would train
a full grown man. That is when we
sometimes make a mistake. To be
"seen and not heard" is good but
you must temper it by "beirg heard
and not seen." A young man has to
shout and be hilari&us, because his
blood is rising, he feels the inward
pressure of life, that is what makes
ambition and action. Don't squelch
it but direct it. It is much harder,
but it is much better for the child.
So we are directing to our Midland
college the young folks in a young
folks way. Indeed, we'll have some
Midland students,-they are in the
growing. We will have to have
some years yet. A few pass quickly.
Dr. Peery's canvass secured $375
for the endowment fund.
It is a very short time until we
have jolly old Santa Clanse sound
his Klaxon, for he is up to date here
in Nebraska, and if some of you
have done your Christmas shopping
early you have probably heard the
sound already. AJ; any rate we are
getting ready to receive him at the
Sunday schools. Such fine weather
don't seem like Santa's kind, but we
can slfovel a lot of coal in twenty
days. However, we will be glad to
see him in any kind of weather.
The Board of Education program
will be given by the Emmanuel Sun
day school and at Salem we will ren
der "Glory to the King." This is
based on the finest music in the
world, and we think it is very beau
tiful. You will enjoy it.
Christmas day is Board of Educa
tion day. That is the day we make
an offering for education, and while
Dr. Peery's words are clear in our
minds we will make a good offering.
Next Sunday, December 10th, we
will celebrate the Lord's supper at
the churches. Let us be glad and
rejoice in it. At that time we will
speak on the necessity of receiving
this sacrament. Let no one think it
an optional matter in his christian
life. It was not given us to treat it
as we please nor for the man who is
without sin, but to common, stumb
ling men for our use and benefit.
If the weather continues fine we
ought to have a good turnout.
The Thanksgiving services were
quite well attended, and Bro. Aucock
preached an excellent sermon. The
offering of $3.G5 has been disposed
of and it may be learned how by
asking Rev. Aucock or myself.
A new flue was put in the Emman
uel church last week. A stove
will be put in the ante room of Sa
lem church this week and we will do
our preaching out there. We can
heat it easier, quicker and cheaper.
It will be advantageous in other
ways. The well on the parsonage
premises i3 to be fixed soon.

Farm Notes.
Issued by the University ot Nebraska
College of Agriculture.
NEHRASKA WOMEN TAKE
HINT FROM HUSBANDS
Nebraska women are going to take
a hint from their husbands this win
ter and spend some timo comparing
notes with each other during Organ
ized Agriculture week when they
will gather at the University Farm,
Lincoln, to attend a three-day session
of the state home economics associa
tion.
Tho program for this meeting,
January 16, 17, and 18, is now in the
making, and includes Miss Florence
Ward, of the states relation service
of the United States department of
agriculture, who is in chargo of ex
tension work with farm women in 33
northern and western states. The
program will be completed about
December 15, and will bo furnished
on request.
Among subjects to be discussed at
this gathering will be extension
projects, such as woftian county
agent work, girls' sewing and cook
ing club work, etc. All women of
the state are invited.
A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION?
It is time to begin planning a New
Year's resolution to keep books on
the business of farming, says the
farm management extension service
of the University of Nebraska.
Nothing along the line of v farm
records gives so much in return for
the time spent as a farm inventory;
for it shows not only the profits for
the year, but enables the farmer to
make a thoro study of his business.
For those who own their farms, Jan
uary 1 is probably the host time to
make an inventory; for tenants, the
date of the lease is most satisfactory.
Blanks for making a farm inventory
may be had upon application to the
Extension Service, University Farm,
Lincoln.
FEEDING MOLDY CORN
Feeding moldy corn to horses of ten
causes blind staggers or 'similar dis
eases, says the college of agriculture,
'Lincoln. Several fungi are known to
be responsible for mold, according to
the agricultural botany department.
As moldy kernels are lighter than
water, they may be separated from
the sound ones by placing the grain
in water, and skimming off tho ker
nels that rise to .the top. Mixing
moldy corn wjth bran and oats ap
pears to lessen danger to animals
that consume it. Specimens of
moldy ears may be sent to the agri
cultural botany department, Uni
versity Farm, for examination.
WINTER IS "CONDITIONER"
Drinking an abundance of water
or consuming large quantities of
watery fruits and vegetables helps
to keep the body in good condition,
partly because the water dissolves
and carries away waste and poison
ous products, says the home econo
mics extension service of the college
of agriculture.
Colds, especially in their first
stages, fevers, constipation, and
rnany other afflictions are checked to
some extent by drinking large quan
tities of water at moderate tempera
tures. Except in cases of heart
trouble or contracted kidney, there
is little danger of excessive drinking
of water at reasonable tempera
tures. GRAPE AND CURRANT CUTTINGS
Early in December is a good time
to make your grape and currant
cuttings, says the department of
horticulture of the Nebraska Exeeri
naent Station.
The best grape cuttings include
two or three buds and are from sev
en, to twelve inches in length. Cur
ro,nts do best when cut from six to
seven inches in length. The cuttings
ca ji be stored in the cellar in bundles,
poveked in sand. In this way they
wiill callus .so that roots will form
readily when they are planted infthe
sp ring.
GREEN STUFFS FOR WINTER
Many green things of the summer
garden may be had for little cost
even in the winter if one takes a
little time to care for a hotbed, says
tho horticultural department of the
U, Diversity of Nebraska. Hotbeds
at the university farm are doing
fine, and it is expected that there
will be plenty of lettuce to offer for
the Christmas trade. While the
growing things in cold frames were
killed during the recent zero weath
er, everything in the hotbeds came
thru in j;ood condition.
