F/.’ I Double Rotations. • It is frequently desirable, remarks Messrs. E. S, Hopkin and W. C. Hop per, cof the Field Husbandry Division of the Dominion Experimental Farms in Bulletin No. 72 of the Dept, of Agriculture, Ottawa, to use two rota- * tlons on the same farm. On the fields near to the buildings a rotation of corn, roots, grain and elovex* hay maybe used which includes intertilled crops, while on the more remote fields or on heavy or wet lands another rotation is employed that uses only grain and pasture, or grain, hay and pasture. The first rotation, that in the proximity of the buildings, pro vides the com or roots while the sec ond, that, further off, is mainly de voted to pasture. Manure can be ap plied to the corn or roots at the rate ■of twelve tons to the acre, any surplus . manure going to the second year crop |fa^A.IU the other rotation. Eight acres of ^rn^'ib’kons to the acre would give ■Insufficient com to feed 20 cows 40 R; jpoundis pex* day for 200 days. If there L ..Svere some additional rough pasture available and it were considered de sirable to reduce the acreage the first rotation, neai" the buildings, could, be arranged into a four-year rotation of corn, grain, clover and timothy which would give the exact acreage of corn necessary for this amount of stock. The Bulletin, it might be observed, which costs nothing to obtain by ap plying to the Publications Branch, Ot tawa, goes very fully into the subject of rotations in its ^57 pages. r ■’7 condemn man, lest himself be judged on the Lame principles at thelast day. Christian charity should be overflow ing, for the standard which the Cnrla^ tian lives up to will lie the standard applied to himself before the judg ment throne. Men ask to-day if the standard taught by Jesus Christ is practicable,, ,. . It is very beautiful, they say, but to it made plans. But schedules can’t Ito possible to carry it out in the ordi- phade that way. Every woman must affairs of ^life? We might ans-1 work out hey own; no one else can do ......... x it for her. Duties vary according to the size of the family, the house, and the family pocketbook. One other characteristic peculiar to household schedules is the ease with which they pan be upset by unexpected : events. It may be weeping clouds, whooping cough,, company, or a bun-, dred’and one other happenings that ; the next day Mean making constant changes as Jhe ” day and the week moves along, even a poor program of work is better I than none. I know that you who] work by schedule will agree with me' sometimes go to market or stay at on- this, I am proud of my schedule, but it’s sure no one ever had another like it. I It meets my meeds, but I doubt if it would be of great help to many wo men, except in a general way. The first step is to make an in ventory of the duties that must have attention. These should be written down. Next in ordei' is the adjusting of these tasks into the hours and min utes of the day, week and month. It requires juggling, planning and ex perimenting. Sometimes „the puzzle will not work out. There are" too many tasks and not enough minutes. I have found that one never gets any place rebelling against matters that cannot be altered. It is best, to find a plan that will bring good results with the set of conditions one faces, not with those she thinks ought toj exist. ■ ‘ Every woman has to decide for her self what duties are to be slighted. In my house the sheets and tea towels which have been dried outdoors are folded without being ironed. The time thus saved is used to advantage in preparing the meals more carefully. A few tasks like thjs can always be eliminated without the surrender of real value. Short cuts in working that are made with new methods and up-to-date household equipment appear to stretch the hours. I found one day that I wasted twenty minutes a week filling salt and pepper shakers, vine gar cruets, syrup dishes, bottles and other containers without using a small, funnel. Cooking always has a place on the household schedule. The time given to it depends on the size of the family and their likes, the skill of the cook- and other variable, factors. I find that cooking in large quantities conserves both strength and time. Acquiring skill in the preparation of a few foun dation dishes also helps, Innumerable good cakes may be made from one or two batters if a generous variety of icings is used. Canning is another problem of housekeeping. I nevei’ try to fill all the jars on my shelf at once. Every month has its offering to make. Can ning is an all-round-thc-year job in my kitchen. In the winter I make marmalades and jellies from dried fruits, citrous fruits, cranberries, can ned fruit juices and liquid pectin. Winter apples and pears are made into sauce or are baked and canned. Sometimes they are pickled. If the squash, pumpkins and carrots show signs of spoilage in the cave, I can them. It is» more satisfac tory than trying to do this when the harvest season is on in the autumn. Gleaning is another consideration for housekeepers. Just as preventive medicine is gaining in popularity so is preventive cleaning. Floors, wood work and walls are finished to repel dirt. If the pores in wood are filled with wax; paint or varnish, the soil to left out. Mats are used on poi'ches to keep much soil from being tracked into the house. Methods^of cleaning vary. Some wo men prefer to have one day of inten sive cleaning every week. Other home makers find it easier to clean one or two rooms every day. Wall brushes, floor mops, non-electric and electric vacuum cleaners, carpet sweepers, long-handled dustpans and chemically treated dustcloths are aiding in short ening the length of time needed for cleaning. laundering cannot be eliminated from many households.

LOVE, TXIE ONE SUFFICIENT PJtlNCIFW OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE. TRANSCENDS ALL CARRIERS, GOVERNS ALL RELATIONS, INCLUDES ALL DUTIES, I iNTRODUcrriON-—’The lesson for to day is selected from the. discourse of Jesus which is commonly known as the Sermon on the Mount. The purpose is to set forth the ideal of life which alone corresponds with the will of God. The motive of this life is love carried to the point at which it begins to resemble the love ofc God himself. All the petty rules and provisos by which men customarily regulate even their most benevolent actions are swept aside, and active benevolence toward all men, without distinction of character, class, or merit, is demanded. Thus Christ’s standard for the conduct of his followers transcends not only all ordinary morality, but even the highest ideals of the greatest human philosophers. The only suffi cient ideal is God himself. Vs, 27/28. the Christian , . significantly to oe shown towards enemies. Ordinary morality recog nizes the duty of loyalty and love to friends^but Christianity goes beyond this, for it requires the rewarding of hostility with kindness, of hatred with benevolence, of imprecations with blessings, of bitter insults with pray ers for tne offender’s good. Jesus re fuges to recognize that in this matter any element of prudence or caution is necessary, It may be courageous to fight, It is much more courageous to try the method of love. This duty holds quite apart from the considera tion that Tove disarms the evil to which it is opposed. V. 29’ The first instance taken is the .case where personal insult is offered in a particularly humiliating form. The natural instinct when a blow is struck at the face is to re taliate with blow for blow, or to resort to .the duel. The follower of Christ is not to adopt this method, but to res train himself even to the extent of exposing himself to a second affront. The second instance is where the i enemy goes fo law with the unoffend ing party and tries to obtain a ver dict against him. Such abuse of jus tice was not uncommon in Oriental society*, but here, again, rather than resoi-t to retaliation the Christian should surrender the very coat upon his back. It might seem as if such self-denial would undermine the foun dations of social order and justice, but it is not so.. The Christian way of "good for evil” is. not. only right in tne abstract, but in practice leads ultimately to the disarming and over coming of-evil.. V. 30.

The nests in the loft are built on the cast and west sides, allowing two nests for every pair of mated birds.

In winter, four parts of corn are used to two parts wheat. MARKETABLE SQUABS. Feeding*'in summer is done twice ! daily—about 7 a.m. and 4, p.m, In i winter the morning feeding is a half- hour later and the afternoon feeding 'an hour earlier. A loft of 50 pairs will consume about four quarts at a feeding. AU feeding is done indoors, the grain be ing placed in troughs instead of on the floor, . It takes about four weeks to grow a squab properly for market. A market able squab must be well feathered, and the abdomen must be hard and firm. The rule is to get the squab just before it is.read^ to leave the mest', as the exercise it will take after I getting on the floor is sure to remove l a great deal of fat, and* the benefit of Pigeons pair, and it is important the forced feeding received while on that none but mated pairs be allowed, the nest is lost. One unmated male in a pen of pigeons is sure to cause trouble. I, Two eggs are laid, at intervals of morning, the attendant goes about looking at each nest. All squabs of a marketable size are caught, crated and carried to the knlling-room/ This is done before the feeding hour, so that the crops of the birds are empty, If squabs are shipped with full craws, the carcasses are apt to turn to either a dark or green color.

A good deal of investigational win ter work with poultry has been carried on under Superintendent Langelier at the Cap Rouge, Que., Dominion Ex perimental Station. Some points gathered from his annual report for last yeax* are as follows: ■ * A comparison of houses of the same shape but of different widths has shown that ^he range of temperature Increases as the width decreases, so that the temperature, is more equable in a house 16 feet wide than it is in one 12 feet wide. . • Early pullets produce winter' eggs at a less cost than date hatched pullets, . yearling hens or old hens. When pul lets that had led in egg production were kept over as yearlings they were beaten by pullets. In a test of egg preservatives water glass and lime water alone showed de cided merit, the latter in particular.

Now comes the supreme principle which is to govern all. “Do to others all that you would have them do to you." Other teachers like Hillel taught this principle in the negative form: “Refrain froni doing to others what you would not wish them to do to you.” Christ inaugur ated.. a revolution when he gave the principle its positive form. He start ed his followers on the task of think ing out inventively the means of blessing and helping mankind. Above all, he bade men put themselves in the place of other men. So long as we are self-centred and self-regardful, we ’have not even begun to live like Christ.Vs. 35, 36. So Jesus returns to the main priniple of doing good even to enemies. And this is , to be done not in blind obedience to a principle, but with absolute confidence in the re sults. No man is to be despaired of. The very worst may be redeemed. Moreover, such benevolence brings the Christian into line with the meth ods and operations of the heavenly Father. God is e,ver kind to the un thankful and the evil. And men enter on theii* true „status as sons of God only when they practice God’s own ungrudgingness. Notice in what terms Jesus defines the chief fend of man. It is that we should become “son^ of God,’’ that is thatrwe should wear the likeness of the heavenly Father, and I bo the objects of his love. I V. 37, 3S. Further applications.

Nearly all housewives make excel lent pie crusts—sometimes. Do you know that it is a very simple mat ter to make good pie crust every time? Measure your ingredients/uriofg *h*alci:>e’ as much lard as you do flour, rubbing the lard in well, adding the pinch pf salt, and mixing with enough water to make a soft dough. Both lard and watei* should be as cold as possible. By measuring, you will never have tough crust. When making a two-crust pie, try moistening the top with sweet .milk before sprinkling with sugar. The pie will brown prettier, and the taste will be improved. Apricot juice make a delicious mock lemon pie. Make the pie just as usual, substituting apricot juice for lemon juice. When using fresh berries for fruit pies, try rolling the berries in flour before adding the sugar. This pre vents the pies,from running over, but does not give the pie that pasty taste that careless sifting in of flour often does. When.making pies from canned fruit, mix the floui’ with the sugar in stead of sifting it on top. The melted' < butter is also added to the sugar and flour, and this mixture is p'ut in th? . bottom crust before the fruit is added. When making a very juicy pje, try winding a piece of damp white cloth around the edge of the completed pie before putting in the oven. This keeps the juices in the pie and may be easily removed when done. If you like a shallow pie, on? quart , of fruit will make two pies, but if you . like them thick, make the first one usual, draining oJf~most of "the j'uico. Then take the small amount of fruit remaining, together with the juice, and with addition of 'a little corn starch, sugar and butter, you have filling for another pie. This mixture should, however, be cooked before put ting into the crust. ------------©----- ------ I find that worn-out Turkish towels make good floor mops, also they are fine as padding for holders. —-----—• / o ™ 4Don't/ The Children's \ Conghsaal Colds x' Mrs. John J.
