THE PRODIGAL FATHER The parable of the prodigal son is one of tbe most familiar and one of the most admired in Scripture. Everybody knows - it; everybody understands it; and everybody approves it heartily. Millions of sermons have been preached from it; and, whenever such a sermon was preached, some father has turned hi* gaze on his son who by some miracle had been lured to church and has said with a glance if not with words, "Vow, my son, you see what comes from riotThia is not intended to be a defense of the. son: He deserved to be made to eat wheatatraw while he was away and ▼eal when hr got home. But not all the wasting of substance is being done by the heir of the family; sometimes father is guilty of a little wasting himself. Father also has a patrimony in which the son may be pardoned for having some interest. He may have a farm that is growing good crops,, a skill that pays him good wages; and he has a part '"ownership in the town in which, or nearcat which, he lives. He may have contributed much or little to that town or that community. But no matter how

much or how little, his residence in that i ' neighborhood entitles him to reap those i benefits. The town and tbe community are as ■ much a part of his estate as his farm or . his house. Money has but one value, . . after all: its only value is to provide us I with the necessities and oomforts and 1 i pleasures of life and to insure our old I age. Likewise the community provides ■ us with many of those pleasures and I comforts. When a man hurts the town , or the community Op does nothing to • help it, he is wasting his substance just ' as much as the son who has wasted It in - ; riotons living. « If _ you are a son, and your father ' I sends his money away to the mail-order : ! houses, to the detriment of the town; if 1 • he .does nothing for the town and the r ofrfiimunity and is not interested in- ■ movements for -their upbuilding and I -welfare; if he is devoting no time to ( making this a more pleasurable and ! i more comfortable town to live in — then i , father is a prodigal father who is wast- ' . ing his substance; and the firat duty of the prodigal son after he gets home is to - take the prodigal father into tbe front i room and give him a heart-.,. -heart talk j about it. <

PROGRAM FOR FARMERS WEEK Everyone interested in any pliase of agriculture or rural life is invited to attend the series of meetings which will b, held during Far«.-r»\ Week on the campus of the New Jersey State College of Agriculture at New Brunswick.

This appears as a * shrinking of the upper leaves, usually a ' mottling of the natural green with yellow spots, and a general dwarfing of 1 t the plant, which, however, is likely to 1 lose no leaves from this cause. The I • amount of fruit set is nearly always - - ranch reduced. This disease may have I been a frequent cause for the general ' • poor se'tiiig of fruit, although heavy * rains and hail 4re also accountable for I much of the trouble. I As very little is known regarding the ' cause of tlie mosaic disease, the Divis- ' ion of Agricultural Extension of the • ' New Jersey State Experiment Station * undertook to make a survey of many * • fields in the effort to trace the disease • to some one cause, to some one type of * ' soil, or to some combination of conditions. The result thus far has been . quite unexpected. The disease has found, on all kinds of soils, on all r . kinds of slopes, with many different 1 fertilizer and manure treatments and in 1 many varieties of tomatoes. No effect C be attributed to source of seed. A!- 1 though mosaic has been transmitted t from one plant to anot-ier in the laboiS t . atory, there is no strong evidence that 1 thia 'akes place in the field. The oh* h servations made by the Station InBpec- <■ tor have lead to the belief that some c . peculiarity in the field planting is ac- v countable for much of the trouble. Ho 0 . found tbe diseased plants running s in rows according to the direction in 1 which they were first set out. and in one 1 ease there was Jfcry strong evidence \ . that the alternate rows were differently affected. Early tomatoes were lesvin- j jnred, and well grown plants, or transplanted plants, of late varieties, espec- ; ially when they were watered in the j field, suffered much less than smaller s plants set carelessly. The only conclu- „ - sion.thus far reached is that the grow- | ing of strong plants has a greater , significance than many growers think. H when they consider that only a little re- j I planting is necessary if some of the r plants die from lack of water. It would M I scom that many of the plants that liv« t may iu>4 pay for themselvi-s simply be- , cause they have been injured by nil , ."1 operation which, upon a stocky plant (l I with large root system, would liave no effect at all. 500,000 CHICKENS ON ONE FARM 1 The following paragraphs about a 1 mammoth chicken plant are taken from 1 the Farm and Fireside: V Mammoth poultry plants, like over- '' large soap bubbles, are generally short- ' but then- are exceptions. One of I these is the Pittsfield Poultry Farm v with headquarters in Maine and 9 1 plant in Massachusetts. ' The maximum number of chickens ! produced by this plant and sold principally in tbe baby-chick stage, up to / the present year, has been a half million chicks annually. { Next year the owners, Messrs. F. , W. Briggs, Gordon Dobson, and How- f ard Gilmore. are planning to increase H the output of the plant to the f two mil- \ chick mark. This plant has been 0 in operation for eight years. j HOG CHOLERA Circular No. 40 of the New Jersey j Experiment Station, issued by the ani- , nutl husbandman at the Station, on f •Tlog Cholera and Swine Production" contains some timely suggestions for the treatment of hog cholera. This disease is generally pwvalent during the fall and early winter. "It is an infections disease In which the lyin- - phatic glands, intestines, lungs, kidneys 2 and liver are generally inflamed. The 2 inflamations are hemmorliagic in char- 2 acter, the lymphatic glands assuming a 2 grajpjh-red character, while the disool- 2 oration in other organs and tissues may 3' vary in aize from small red spots to 3 large irregular dotted areas." Here are two forma of hog cholera; S acute and chronic. Animals affected with the acute form die from within 0 a few hours to a few days after show- a chaiMteriatie symptom*. Those

When hog cholera is suspected, sick and healthy animals should be separated and the premises thoroughly' disinfected. All carcasses should he burned r or buried deeply and coTered with quick lime. Germs gain access through feeding, hence feeding . troughs and utensils should be thoroughly cleaned and fumigated, the yards plowed and preferably planted with a forage crop in season. F.ed sparingly, using a laxative, easily digested and nourishing ration. Keep the hogs treated with together in infected yards. Pbsaible introduction of thx disease into should be guarded against. Dogs, birds and other animals should be kept out. Persons taking care of diseas'-d measures to prevent spread of the The scrum treatment has met with good results when rightly used. It-Is recommended as a preventive, and not a cure. As yet the New Jersey Experiment Station has not provided for the production of serum, but arrangements been made by the animal husbandman for distributing serum at cost and application should be made immediately when danger exists. The serum treatment is for well hogs, is should be procured at once when the disease is suspected. It can kept indefinitely in a cold place. The Station Animal Husbandman will supply serum at cost when available and will otherwise direct the management of affected herds. The serum should he injected in the neck region and not in the fleshy portion of the ham. Injury often results whe^e the latter plan is followed The area where injection is to be made should be washed carefully, both before and after treatment, with a disinfectant solution. Iodine may be used for preventing infections. NEW GAME LAW. A new game law that should be passed by all States would couvain the fol"Book agents may he shot between 1 and September 1; Spring from March 1 to June 1; Automobile Speed Demous from January I to January 1; Road Iiogs from April 15.-to^ April 15; Amateur Hunters from September 1 to February 1; War Talkers — no closed season; any man who accepts a paper for two years and then, when the bill is presented, says "I never ordered it,' may be killed on sight and shall be buried face downward in quick liiue so as to destroy the germs and preveut the spread of the infection." — Wildwood Tribune.
