neither sufllclcntly compact nor sufll-
icntly branched to muke n really good
hedge.
Native species, and those least roortl
iM by man's crossing and selection
are most suitable for lawn and border
planting. Hordcr roses should have
little pruning, the removal of the dead
wood and the cutting of the whole
hush to the ground every five to eight
j ears being the best way of handling
most varieties.
Climbing roses used for arbors and
trellises may be managed either to
give an abundance ol' bloom or to pro
duce shade, but they cannot do both
satisfactorily, and they are not well
adapted to the production of shade ns
many other plants. Climbing roses
should be pruned .lust aftor blooming
by having the wood of the previous
. ear's growth removed.

six Inches or one foot of the ground

half the wood should be left If the
hjei't is a large quntitlty of blooms.
The essentials for satisfactory rose
mowing are a well-drained retentive
oII, thoroughly enriched, preferably
with rotted manure. Cut-tlower roses
particularly need heavy annual ma
nuring. Special care must be oxer-ciM-d
to prevent the loots from drying
when out of the ground for transplant

mo-half to two-thirds of the wood re
moved at the lime of transplanting.
Watchfulness Is the price of success

WATCH FOR PLANT LICE
If you would be sure of getting a
ciop of egg-plants, cucumbers, cuntn
loupes, ns well as other garden vege
tables, watch for plant lice. A nicotine
spray -will get them, but don't wait
until the tinder sides of tho leaves are
covered before you begin the treatment.

SHRUBS YOU WILL LIKE
Home builders tho are plan
ning to plant shrubbery on their
lawns will find It worth while to.
make a study of shrubs. Set out
shrubs that you will not tiro of
In a few years. It pnys to ftikt
your time In selecting. To select
plniits Intelligently a careful
study should be made of the
lawn, hull, position of buildings,
walks, drives, bodies of water,
the surrounding area, ami adjn
cent buildings. Evergreens will
not thrive In smoke 'ones of
cities or Mwir factories.
ASPARAGUS MUST
HAVE RICH SOIL
Delicacy Will Grow in Drained
Ground If Plant Food Is
Properly Applied.
ROOTS BETTER THAN SEED
Spring Is Good Time to Transplant
Shoots May De Blanched by Ridg
ing Up Over Rows With
Loose Sandy Soil.
Aspnrngus should have n place in
every home vegetable garden where It
will thrive. This crop can bo grown
on almost any well-drained soil, but
will do best on a deep, mellow sandy
loam, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. There Is little
possibility of hnviug tho loud too rich,
an.d liberal applications of partly rot
ted barnyard manure should he made
before the plants arc set. The seeds
of asparagus may be sown during the
early spring In the rows where the
plants lire to remain and the seedlings
thinned to stand 14 Inches apart in the
row at the end of tho Mrst season, It
Is usualiy most satisfactory to pur
chase two-year-old roots from some
seedsman or dealer. The roots should
be transplanted during the late au
tumn or early spring.
Before setting out tho plants, the
land should bo loosened very deeply,
either by subsoil plowing or deep spad
ing. It Is a good plan to remove the
tops-oil and spade manure Into the sub
soil to a depth of 14 or 10 Inches; then
replace the topsoll and add more
manure. There are two methods of
setting an asparagus bed, depending
entirely uponthe kind of cultivation to
be employed In the garden. If the
garden space is limited, the plants
should be set in n solid bed, one foot
apart each way. In setting aspurngus
the crowns should be covered to e
depth of four or live Inches.
The part of the asparagus used ns n
vegetable Is the young shoot that is
thrown up during the early spring.
The shoots are removed when about
four or live Inches in length by cutting
slightly below the surface of the
ground, hut can should he taken that
the knife Is not thrust at an anglo or
the crowns will he Injured. If so de
sired, the shoots may be blanched by
ridging up over the rows with loose
sandy soil or by nllowing the mulch to

way through it ; hut iiiihlauched as-

parngus always has n better flavor
than blanched, Is more easily produced,
and Is more satisfactory for home use.
Too heavy mulching has a tendency to
retard the growth 'of the shoots by
keeping the ground cold until late In
the spring.
No shoots should hu removed the
Mrst year the plants are set In the
permanent bed, and the period of cut
ting should ho short the second year.
After tho second year (lie plants be

fertilizing and care tho bed will last
Indefinitely. During tho cutting sea
son all the shoots should bo removed,
as the roots will cease to throw up
shoots as soon as one Is allowed to ma

of Jonah.
That the bunk of Jonah is histori
cal we believe for tho. following ivn
sons: First, Its record and use In
the Scriptures That the writers of
the Ulhlo lntende-1 the Impression of
Its historicity Is without the shadow
of it doubt. The suggestion that It Is
a parable Is absolutely gratuitous.
Second, tho iinhrol.cn testimony of
tradition among the .lows Is that It Is
historic. Third, the testimony of Jesus
Christ (Matt, 12:.'J0-41). The words of
Jesus Christ are final.
I. Jonch'6 Second Commission
(vv. 1, 2).
When called tho first time to go to
Nineveh, he found tho task too great
for hlin. For his unfaithfulness, he
was clinstNod. He repented and God
restored his commission. The Lord
snld to hlin. "Preach the preaching
that I bid thee" (v. 2). God knows
how lie wants His work done. Happy
Is the missionary, minister, Sunday
school teacher, who preaches God'.?
Word Just us He gave It.
II. Jonah's Preaching (vv. .'I, -J).
1. His Held (v. 3). "Nineveh was an
exceeding great city." Not only was
the city large, but Its Inhabitants were
noted for their cruelty.
2. His message (v. -1). "Yet forty
days and Nineveh shall he overthrown."
This means that forty days were given
by God for repentance ere the Judg
ment would fall. God Is long-suffering,
not willing that any should perish,
hut that all should repent (II lvt.3:0).
Though Ho Is merciful, yet there Is
u limitation to It. He says, "Yet forty
days." j
III. The Repentance of Nineveh (vv.
5-10).
1. They helloved God (v. fi). They
believed that God was speaking to
them through the prophet about their
sins and Impending Judgment.
2. They proclaimed it fast (vv. 5-S).
The king nnd pooplo Joined sincerely
In this movement. The call was for
them to turn uway from their sins.
Their penitence was genuine, for they
not merely put on sackcloth, the vis
ible sign of mourning, but they cried
to God (v. S).
3. They reasoned that God would
repent (v. P). Though they had no
assurance thnt God would have mercy,
yet they reasoned that the sending of
a prophet and the giving of a time
before the fall of doom Implied that
God would he merciful If they repent
ed. They vvero wise In so doing. Wo
today know that God will have mercy
If we repent (Acts 3 Mil). What ut
ter folly to go on In sin In the face
of Hie assurance that God will Judge.
fi. God's mercy shown (v. 10).
"God saw their works that they turned
from their evil way." God's eye Is
omnipotent. Wherever there Is a soul
who Is turning from sin In icnltciicc,
lie -ee. No one has ever wept over
sin unnoticed by God. God rejoices
when a sinner repents (Luke 15:10).
In the I5oo)c of .lonah we havo por
trayed the typical history of Israel:
"J. Jonah was called to a world
mission, and so was Israel. (2) Jonah
nt Urst refused compliance with the
divine purpose and plan, and so did
Israel. (3) Jonah was punished by
being cast Into the sea, and so was
Israel by being dispersed among tho
nations. (-1) Jonah was not lost, but
rather especially preserved during this
part of his experience, and Israel Is
not being iis'-lmllated by the nations,
hut being kept for God. (.) Jonah,
repentant and cast out by the llsli. is
restored to life and action again, and
Israel, repentant and cast out by the
nation1", shall he restored to her former
national position, (0) Jonah, obedient,
goes upon his mission to Nineveh, nnd
Israel obedient, shnll ultlihatcly en
gage in her original mission to the
world. (7) Jonah Is successful In that
his message Is acted upon to tho
salvation of Nineveh, e.a Israel shall
he blessed In that she shall he used
to the conversion of tho whole world."
Dr. Gray's Commentary.

With enough money, enough time
and enough luck, a man may get back
the health he has lost or part of it.
It takes patience, too.
And then there may be no success,

It's better to save what you have
than hunt for what you've lost as
the most successful health-restorers
