THE NORTH PLATTE 8EMIAVEEKLY TRIBUNE. P - n ' mm43&mm' w At the Gate of Nain Br REV, GEORGE E. GUILLE Dibta Teacher, Moody Institute, Que bo TI5XT He went Into a city called Nnln. IjUku 7:11. The words, looked at closely, will be found to cpitomizo all tho work o Christ as Savior For what Is tho city of Naln? Wo find tho answer In the meaning of Us name: "fair, pleaa nnt," probably so called because of Its striking situa tion. And Is not this what tho world was ns God made it, so that his own lips could pronounce upon the labor of his hands, "very good?" Is not this what it still is to tho unregener ate heart, that refuses to recognize tho ruin wrought by sin? Yes, tho heart that has no ties elsewhere; that has not "tasted tho powers of tho world to corno;" nor seen the glorious realities of things eternal, finds It fair and pleasant still. Hut alas! this pleasant world has become a valley of tho shadow of death, for behold! at tho very gate of Nain, proclaiming its real condition, a dead man is carried out. Death is the way out of tho world still, and death is tho awful shadow over it. "Death reigned from Adam to Moses," and reigns today, the world, with all ita boasted wisdom, having found no remedy for it. On every portal, death with relentless hand, has carved his telltale crest, and upon all creation lie has placed his stamp. "Ihe world passeth away." This is the scene into which Christ has come, as hero ho cornea to Naln camo with life and salvation and open ins: heaven to the lost of the earth. What sorrows, too, are in fair Nain! Behold this widow weeping for her only son, and much people in the city, following and weeping with her. For uiu has brought not only death, but a multitude of sorrows, Into the world. However fair It may be, how over beautiful tho names by which it may be called, however much it may furnish the natural heart with pleas urp sorrow remains tho great fact of human life. Tho groat sea of lifo is salty with human tears, and the sighing of tho wind is tho echo of tho threnody of broken hearts. "Tho whole creation groaneth and travail oth in pain together until now." But tho Man of Sorrows draws nigh and Nain must answer to its name. With him at its gate, all Is changed, and wo see tho divine remedy for all tho ills brought in by sin. 1. "When Jesus saw her, he was moved with compassion.". Yes it waa compassion that brought him down to save, compassion for my lost es tate, compassion for tho helpless mis ery to which sin reduced me. "Moved with compassion at my tears for sin, he has corao to my help." 2. "And ho said unto her, Don't cry, don't cry!" Who is this stranger breaking in upon her grief with his tender sympathy? Can ho quench those tears? Has he a balm for that! broken heart? Yes, he has, and ho freely gives It; and In doing so gives U3 a picture of all .hie finished work. The Christ of Calvary will mako good ills every word. 3. "Ho touched tho bier!" "Touch It he must If his word Is to have power over it." He must dio, If he would have to say to death, "Where is thy sting?" "The sting of death Is sin" and he must be "made sin for us" to take away that sting. He must "taste death for every man," who is to arise from It at his word. Ho must go Into it in order to triumph over It, and "forasmuch as the children aro par takers of flesh and blood, ho likewise himself, also took part of tho same, that through death ... ho might deliver them who through fear of death wero all their lifetime subject to bondage." "Christ, being raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no moro dominion over him." But ho lias dominion over it, and thus ho touches tho bier. In Israol It meant defilement to como In contact with death. But Je Mio must touch it, yot remain unde filed !. And having touched It ho can sny, and his word stand fast, "Young man, 1 say unto theo, Arise." And tlicbo words, which In a thou sand tongues, ho Is ropeatlng In the ears of tho multitudes "dead In tres passer and sins." Know, O man with out Christ, that this young man at Naln's gato.ls your picture. Dweller in Naln In a world still "fair" to the oye. but upon which sin has brought an awful curse you aro dead. 5. "And ho that wns dead at up and began to apeak " "Hath hi said and shall ho not do it, hath he spokon nnd shall ho not mako It good'" O soul, hast thou hoard his voice? Hast thou "sat up" out of thlno awful death In treapashes and sins, "a now creation" In Christ Jesus? Hast thou begun to speak with a now tongue In tho language they spoak In heaven? All hall, hearer of Jesus'" volcol "Thoy Uiat hear shall live!" USE ARSENATE OF A Beautiful Apple Orchard In Bloom. (By I,. M UKNNINGTON ) Tho great question among fruit growers everywhere Is. Shall bor deaux bo replaced by the lime-sulphur as a summer spray? Mr. Ever ett Wallace, the lltne-sulphur expert who has conducted many interesting experiments along this Hue, announces that lils observations indicate that heavy drenching Is a common cause of injury to folingc. He says that much of the injury by the burning of apple foliage last sum mer following tho application, Just after tho blossoms fell, was duo to previous scab Infection of tho leaves.

You will not make anything by pin ning tho poultry down to scanty rations. Can't bo done. Everything must have enough to eat that makes a profit for you. Remember that. Close up tho drafts in tho henhouse. The hen that sits In a draft of cold air all night Is in no shape to do business the next day. Have you plenty of dust for tho hens to rustle in? If not, you can uso some finely sifted coal ashes. Not all of us can mako a success of growing fancy stock. Wo may be too far from market or tho centers of business. For us tho production of eggs and poultry for tnblo use is best Wheat, as warm as tho hens can comfortably eat it, Is the finest morn ing ration I know of. If you feed bran mashes at all, lot it be at night. Wipe off every egg that comes Into tho house. They not only look better and bring a better prlco by two or three cents a dozen, but they arc moro healthful to havo In stock. It does not tako 'much to disturb hens. Keep out everything and every body that looks like an enemy. See to It that tho doors aro kept well closed yet awhile. It Is not warm enough yet to let tho chilly air In at night. Every farm garden should have its hotbeds. LARGEST WILD TURKEY KILLS HIMSELF I, . ' i , A photograph of the Sultan, tho largest wild turkiy of which there Is any record, weight 47 pounds.

Is tho only Insecticide known which may bo used In the llnio sulphur with safety It not only docreases tho burn ing, but actually increases fungicidal value of the mlxturo by 50 per cent. Injury to both fruit nnd foliage by the lime sulphur Is much less seri ous than that caused by bordeaux un der the eame conditions, and tho ad dition of llmo or the prosenco of sed iment does not materially affect the burning qualities of the lime-sulphur one way or another. Another important point found Is that cultivated trees will withstand follago injury much better than neg lected orchards. START TOMATOES IN EARLY SPRING Should Be Transplanted Into Tin Cans When 4 to 6 Inches Tall Some Use Boxes. When tomato plants get to be foui to six Inches tall transplant them lntc tin cans. Tako quart cans, and cut out a square piece In the bottom, the top having been all removed, to leave a smooth edge. Tako a piece of lath two Inches long and put over thle opening in the uottom; fill with rich earth and set ono plant In each can Pack tlieso cans so filled as closely as possible In your hotbed. Give plenty of water, and harden by re moving glass as long as necessnry No matter if they get to bo a foot tall, bloom and set fruit. When you como to transplant, press upon tho piece of lath in bottom of can, nnd tho whole lump of earth will como out without disturbing the roots. All this is some work, but it will accomplish tho end. You will get early fruit. Instead of using cans, many gar doners use a shallow box about ono foot by two. It should bo deep enough to hold about threo inches of earth Sot the plants in thiB about four inches apart. Then when transplant lng to garden the roots will bo found to nearly fill the whole space and by cutting evenly with a trowel the plants may be moved with very little disturbance. Road to Success. Tho road to success with a largo flock of poultry cannot be followed by a lazy person. ...i. ji?iih - njrn -- xr$i , 'L RELOCATE MANY OLD ROADS Department of Agriculture Advise Cutting Out of Grndec on High ways to Save Horses. (I'rcpnrcd by tho fulled StntCH Depart ment of Agriculture.) Tho averago life of horses anil au tomobiles may bo increased and the cost of hauling reduced, according to tho ofTlco of roads of tho department of agriculture, by relocating many old roads ami the moro scientific laying out of now ones. Tho natural tenden cy In road building Is to build a straight road, whether it goes over steep grades or hills, or not, and pull ing over theso grndes naturally adds to tho wear and tear on horses nnd vehicles. Tho doctrine of the office of roads is thnt tho longest way around may often be the shortest and moBt economical way homo, and that frequently by building a highway around a hill or grade, hut little appreciable distance is nddod nnd this is moro than offset by tho reduced strain of hauling. Tho chief drawback from tho farm owner's point of view Is that tho lay ing out of roads on this principle of avoiding grades necessitates, In some cases, running tho road through good farm land or orchards or pastures, in stead of going around tho farm line nnd building the road through old worn-out fields und over rocky knolls. This, of course, must ralso a question in tho mind of tho individual laud owner as to whether tho cutting up of his property by a road yields him In dividual advantages and so benefits his community as to offset the uso of such lund for a road, or to overcomo tho in convonlonco of having his land di vided. In this connection tho olllco of roads points out that tho running of a road and the resulting traffic through n good farm, whero there aro good sheep, cattle, horses, grain, fruit or vegetables, has a certain advertising valuo and in many Instances makes the land moro valuable. In other cases, tho importance of such a level road to tho community Is so great that It might well ropay thoso using tho road to givo tho farmer tho equivalent In land equally good in place of what A Good Road In Wisconsin. ho has sacrificed to tho common wel fare At any rnto, tho olllco of roads is now taking special pains to mako clear the economic advantage of avoiding steop grades in other roadB, oven at some sacriflco of bettor land. Inves tigation shows that tho laying of such roads over hills hau resulted moro from attention to tho preservation of farm lines than from ticlontiflc atten tion to tho problem of road building. According to tho testimony of farm ers consulted, whero a horse might bo abli! to pull 4,000 pounds on a lovol road, It would have difficulty In pulling 3,000 pounds up a stoop hill. Tho slzo of tho load, therefore, tends to bo measured by tho grado of tho largest hill on tho road to markot. In a num ber of cases nctunl oxporlment shows that tho re-locating of roads around hills lias been accomplished, either with no addition In toad length In Bomo Instances, and with tho adding of only a few feet to tho highway In others. Tho ofllco known of no case whero a properly ro-located road which has rut out grades has led to any question as to Its mntorlal reduc tion of hauling costs. THRESHED OATS FOR FOWLS Grain Will Sometimes Produce Crop Bound if Given Too Freely at First Alternate With Mash. Threshed oats is lino for fowls, If fed Intelligently. Thoy will some tlnvjs produco crop-bound It fed too frooly when first fed. Almost any dry, bulky rations will produco crop-bound when fed in largo quantity. Howovor, oats 1b a very valuable ration for fowlw, but wo would prefer to feed It alter nately with a mash food inado of puro whi'at bran, hominy feed and shortB.
