THE SAVIORS TEACHINGS BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDIES

“BROUGHT DOWN TO HELL.” Matthew xi, 20-30—Sept. 15. “Come unto Me, all that labor and are heavy laden, and 1 will give you rest.”— V. 88. CODAYS STUDY tells of how our Lord upbraided the city where most of His mighty works had been done, because they repented not. because they did Dot note the power of God in their midst and gladly receive the Message. Such, Jesus declared, will be less prepared to appreciate the Kingdom in the future than will some who have never known Him. Tyre and Sidon, heathen cities, would have repented with far less preaching. It is but in harmony with Divine Justice, therefore, that when the Great Day of God's favor and of the Messianic Kingdom shall dawn, the people of Tyre and Sidon shall have things still more favorable than the people of Chorazin gnd Bethsaida and Capernaum. Jesus declared that Capernaum had been exalted up to heaven—highly lifted up in point of privilege and Divine favor and blessing. This being true, it meant that in justice Capernaum’s fall would be proportionate. She would fall from the heights of heavenly privilege and favor down to hell—to the grave. Listen further to the reason for this denouncement: “If the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained unto this day; but I say. It shall be more tolerable for Sodom In the Day of Judgment than for thee.”

Let us not mistake the lesson: While only those who fully accept Christ and consecrate their lives to His service

will receive the spir-it-begetting, or any share in the Heavenly Kingdom, all the remainder of mankind wiio come to any knowledge of the Lord and His mercy and blessing, and who refrain from rendering homage and from striving to walk in God’s way, will propor-

tionately disadvantage themselves in respect to the future life and the great blessings and privileges and opportunities to be brought to all mankind through Messiah's Kingdom and its reign of a thousand years. **l Thank Thee, O Father." It was in Jesus’ day Us it has ever since been, that not many of the great or rich or wise or learned had ears to hear the Gospel Message. The difficulty with this class is that the things of the present life sb fill and satisfy that they have no hungering for the better things Thus it has been that the majority of the followers of Jesus Id every Age have been chiefly the poor of this world, rich in faith. But hearken again to the words of Jesus—how peculiarly they read: “1 thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and has revealed them unto babes; even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Thy sight” How strangely those

words once sounded to us. when we supposed that all who failed to receive the Message of Jesus, all who failed to make their “calling and election sure” to membership in the Bride class, would suffer an eternity of torture! How strange it seemed that Jesus should thank the Father that these things were hidden from some of the grandest and noblest and most brilliant of our face! But now. how clear! how plain! Jesus was preaching the Kingdom, and all who rejected His preaching rejected the Kingdom, and will lose it. This does not mean that they may not receive ultimately a blessing under that Kingdom, when it ahallrule the world, and when all that are in their graves shall come forth to receive those very blessings which Jesus died to procure for them—the blessings of a trial, or judgment of a thousand years to determine whether they will be accounted worthy of ever lasting life, or of everlasting death.

Few Know the Father or the Son. All men are to be brought to a knowledge of God. The Scriptures de Clare. “The knowledge of the glory of

of their privileges. Blessed are our eyes, that now they see, and our ears that now they hear, that we may know Messiah, and through Him know the b'ather. We are g! .! that all mankind in due time will l:e brought to a clear know! edge and full opportunity. But oh. how mm !i greater is our blessing, besides the privilege of now being the sons of <:«-<!. and joint heirs in his glorious Kingdom: The spe -iai < al! of God throng.'! Jesus, therefore, is to the " poor, the Broken-hearted, the heav\ laden, the unsatisfied: "Come mc<. >.Me. all ye that labor and are In laden, and I will give you rgst.” I

“Not many great or rich hear the gospel now.”

God shall fill the whole earth.” Jesus declared that no one can know the Father except as he knows the Son. or as the Son reveals the Father to him. Hence those who have failed to recognize Jesus as the Son of God have not yet come to tho full appreciation

BALE THE HAY

By G. H. Alford, I H C Service Bureau, i Atlanta, Ga.

Baled hay is much more valuable as a feed than loose hay, even when the loose hay is well housed. Loose hay carries a great quantity of dust and often gives the farm animals a severe cough while baled hay does not. Baled hay takes up about one-fifth as much room as loose hay and for this reason the entire crop of baled hay can usually be stored under cover ■while loose hay must be exposed to the weather in stocks and ricks. Baling breaks up coarse hay so that the stock will eat it more readily and there is no waste in feeding baled hay. Baled* hay is always ready for the market. It is convenient and satisfactory to handle in every way. It can be' hauled by team or shipped by railroad. Much of the tops and sides of stacks is spoiled by the weather. Loose hay becomes dusty and musty. Baling hay keeps out the dust and preserves the hay. Baled hay retains much of the sweet hay odor that stock relish. There’s a freshness and appetizing quality and feed value in baled hay that is never to be found in loose hay.

We should bale our hay whether we feed it on our own farms or sell it. Of course, the market demand is for baled hay—and for baled hay only and for this reason baling is the only way to be sure of having a market for it. The growing of hay and especially leguminous hay as cowpea, soy bean, peanut and lespedeza will rapidly increase the fertility of our soils, make the raising of good live stock profitable and add very much to the income on the farms.

We can buy a one-horse pull-power hay press or we can buy a motor hay press. For the small farmer who hales his own hay, the one-horse pullpower hay .press will prove very satisfactory and economical. With it he can bale his hay at the time most convenient and with a small amount, of help. For the farmer who grows large quantities of hay or for the farmer who bales hay for his neighbors the two-horse pull-power or the motor bay press is necessary. Of course, no man can tell the exact capacity of any hay press as this depends to a considerable extent upon the kind and quality of hay being baled, the skill of the operators, and the speed of the team. However under ordinary conditions a 14x18 twohorse pull-power hay press will bale about 8 tons per day, a 14x18 press operated with a 3-horse power engine will bale about 12 tons per. day, a 16x18 press with a 4-horse power engine about 14 tons per day, and a 17x22 press wdth 6-horse power engine 16 tons per day. We should purchase a hay press that has been designed for convenience. There should be a considerable

distance between the sweep and the feeding table. Both of these points should be located at the extreme end of the press so that the baling chamber may be set well into the interior of the shed or barn and ample room be had for the revolution of the sweep to be made outside the shed or barn. Another advantage of the arrangement of such a press is that the bale chamber may be set between two stacks and fed from both stacks without resetting the press. The close arrangement of feeding table and sweep will not allow sufficient space for the sweep to describe the circle necessary to operate the press.

The reach bed should be very narrow and should not be more than four or five inches high to enable the horses to walk over it without the least trouble. When operating presses that have a high step-over, the horses will generally slow down, hesitate, and offer stumble at this point which is annoying 'to the man, wearing on the horses, and slackens the speed of the press. The power construction of the press should be such that when the horses reach the stepover, they are pulling practically no load. Qne stroke should be completed before they reach the step-over and the load of the next stroke should not begin Until the low narrow stepover has been passed. The' bale chamber shoyld be very low so that it is an easy matter to reach across and tie the bale. This saves much time and trouble as, in tying the bale, it is necessary to go around the bale chamber to the opposite side. The press should be constructed principally 'f steel and high grade iron and should be strong and durable. The two-horse pull-power press and the motor baling press should have a self-feed attachment as it increases the capacity of the press and at the same time reduces the work of feeding the press. The hay press is a mjney maker and a money saver and should be used on every farm.

Mr. H. H. Humphrey, Arlington, Arizona, writes: “What property does sorghum take from the ground that other grains need? I notice that wheat and barley grown this spring on a plot of ground that had sorghum on it last summer was very poor, while on an adjoining plot of exactly the same kind of soil the crop was very good, making nearly twice as much grain to the acre. Can you advise me what is the best method of kiling Johnson grass?” We have been unable to find an analysis of sorghum which show's the amount of the different plant food elements that this crop takes from the soil. Sorghum fodder is rather low in protein and high in crude fiber as compared with corn fodder. This would lead us to believe that sorghum is not as heavy a nitrogen feeder as the common corn. The amount of sugar which sorghum contains varies from two to twenty per cent of the juice, or from one and one-half to twelve percent of the cane. We note what you say regarding the growth of oats and wheat on a plot that produced sorghum last year. The decrease in yield may not have been due to any particular drain on the plant food elements caused by the sorghum, but might have been the result of a lack of, moisture. Sorghum is a heavy feeding plant and requires considerable moisture, hence it may have taken so much moisture from the soil that there was not a sufficient amount as compared with other fields to produce a good crop of wheat or oats. We do not believe that you will have any trouble in cutting your corn with the ordinary corn binder, even though there are pea vines in the corn. The corn binder may be used very satisfactorily for cutting sorghum, also milo maize. Where these crops grow unusually high and heavy some of the machines may not handle them as easily as they do corn because they are built for corn and not for heavy sorghum crops. The height of grain that can be cut-with the ordinary grain binder varies some with the binder. This machine will handle grain considerably higher than the ordinary run of grains. The most successful method of killing Johnson grass is to plow early in the fall and to harrow the land thoroughly, using a spring tooth harrow if possible, or a peg tooth if the spring tooth is not available. This will tear out a large number of the root stalks, which should be removed from the field. A heavy seeding of small grain or millet should now be sown which will keep down the Johnson grass during the late fall and early spring. This crop should be cut for hay, and the land should next be plowed and harrowed as before. It is well to keep this land under thorough cultivation during the summer months, not permitting any of the Johnson grass to grow to any extent. By fall the field will be free from the Johnson grass. The main objection to this is the loss of one year’s crop, but It has been found to be the most, satisfac-

tory way < f killing out this grass. Close pasturing and considerable tram-ping is very injurious to Johnson grass, and will practically kill it out in time. A thorough drainage of the land, 'combined with the above, will be of material assistance in eradicating Johnson grass.

R. H. Munday. London. Ontario, ■writes as follows: Can you -please tell me if dirty salt from a tannery spread thinly on clay loam would be of any benefit as a fertilizer? What is a good fertilizer for onions?” You will find that salt is not much good as a fertilizer. We have known es experiments —in fact, it has been experimented with considerably—in which it did not affect the yield to any material extent. It may have a little effect on the physical conditiop of the soil under some conditions, but, generally speaking, whatever this effect may be, it is not worth the trouble of applying the salt. The four principal plant food elements are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium. The first three named are the most important. Salt does not supply any of these plant food elements. Salt h, made up of hydrogen and chlorine. The best fertilizer for onions depends upon the conditions of the soil, and as we are not familiar with your boil, we cannot give you this definitely. Generally speaking, onions require very fertile land In order to give best returns. This crop seems to demand an unusual amount of available potassium, and for this reason it is sometimes advisable to apply a potassium fertilizer. Sulphate of pot« ash has been found to give better returns than potash in other forms. Stable manure is very good for onions, but should be applied in the fall. One objection to using stable manure is that it carries a great many weed seeds, and thus may increase the labor of caring for the onions. The presence of lime is also very conducive to growing good onion crops.

. ... ... I Baled Hay Most Profitable I I T THETHER you feed your hay or sell it, yy y° u profit mos t by baling it. Baled hay may be shipped where the price is highest. It takes up only one-fifth of the storage space required by loose hay. It retains its feeding value longer, and is easier to handle. These advantages more than offset the cost of baling, which is very small when done by an International Hay Press Motor or Horse-Driven 1 The International motor press is a combinaB tion of two machines in one, a hay press and a portable I H C engine for which you will find many other uses. The hay press works on the powerful toggle-joint principle, the power being applied through a pull, not a push. An adjustable bale tension assures bales of uniform weight. A roller tucker folds the loose ends of each charge well down into the bale, I keeping it smooth and neat. The bale chamber is so low that bales can be tied by reaching over the machine. The I H C pull-power press, made in one and two-horse sizes, is a similar press witn a bed B reach and horse power mechanism in place of the IH C engine. The reach is only four inches high, making it easy for the horses to step over. The horses are pulling no load when they cross the reach. A self feeder is made for both the motor and horse-driven presses. Bale chambers are 14x18", 16x18" and 17 x 22" in size.
