I Introduction—It may bo confident- ly^sserted that prayer, particularly .•_ju-.jj.-_, -„,1 prayer, has a greater place in Christianity than m gions. If we inquire the cause of this, j it is undoubtedly due to the complete I “personalizing” of religion which we find in Jesus Christ,. Prayer occupied an extraordinary place in the life of Jesus. We find him often so absorbed in prayer to be unconscious of the .presence of others round him. And ;we find him also'instructing his dis ciples in the elements of prayer. He taught that prayer should be in pri vate and simple, at the centre, not on the circumference of life, 1' his life from the Unseen. Tho more public his life was, the more it needed to be hid with God. Ch, 14:32-36. The second instimee,; is from the closing hours of Jesus’ life, when the Saviour is wrestling in Gethsemane against tho last assaults j of Satan, He had wished his disciples to be with him on that dread occasion, and so in a sense they were. But in the end Jesus had to fight the battle alone, Saying to the disciples, “My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death,” he goes deeper into the shadow spaces of tlie garden, and there falls on his face and prays, So he wins the j last victory, and, rises triumphant mid * serene, None of his followers will evei’ know the depths and heights of Jesus’ life of prayer. Whether in the wilderness or in the garden, he goes further than we can follow. But from his example we see where alone, both in life and in death, strength can be found and reliance placed, Women’s Institutes Play a Fine Part in Immigration The Ontario Women’s Institutes as one of the important phases of their work of home-making and community building are giving splendid co-opera tion to the Dominion mid Provincial Governments in immigration activi ties.

AIMS FOR THE YEAR 1927. 1, To secure as full information as possible of immigrant families settling in Ontario, or of girls and women em ployed as domestics in homes through out the province from; (a) - ■■ almost every (b) How I Sell Eggs. Two years ago, after -selling all my winter surplus eggs to a local grocer and drug-store fountain, I learned from the druggist that the grocery man was charging his customers five cents more a dozen on the guarantee that the eggs were strictly fresh eggs right from the farm. “If ho could commercialize a guar antee on a cinch why not I?” I thought. I had a neat guarantee label printed on one gross of cartons that held one dozen each, and offered my product direct to the consumer at five cents a dozen above the local market, with a rebate of two good eggs for each bad one found with an additional rebate of two cents for each carton returned in good condition. At first I sold a few from house to house to advertise and get started. Now nearly all of my customers .come out from town in their automobiles., sometimes in the evening after the day’s work or just an excuse for tak ing a- pleasant ride, and they, usually put in a standing order for so many each week to be delivered on certain days if they do not call for them before. In this way I nearly always know in advance just how many I am going to need to supply my regular customers. I get several orders over the phone each week to be either delivered or called for next day while taking a pleasant evening drive. I have found, unqualified success this season. The cartons of selected eggs have literally sold themselves.—Mrs. V. B. Poultry Breeding. . There are two main points to be considered: First, the selection of birds that have the characters desir ed; and secondly, a further selection from these of birds that can produce offspring as good as or better than themselves. Many are of the opinion that 'Tike begets like.” In general, this is true, but it is true for general and not for particular qualities. It is true that a male White Leghorn mated to White Leghorn females will breed chickens that are White Leghorns, or that have white plumage, yellow legs, and white earlobes. But of these offspring there will be no two chicks exactly alike. We find large and small Leghorns; most of them never go broody but some do; some lay eggs that are large, others small eggs. And we find a great variation in the number of eggs pro duced by different hens. Selection is made on the basis that likeayill produce like, but experience has taught all breeders that to secure uniform superiority, they must carry on the selection through generations of poultry. If wo select birds’that have laid bettei' than 200 eggs in twelve consecutive months and mate these to a male, of similar strain, we do not expect to get all daughters that will lay 200 eggs or more a year, but we do expect upon the average a bet ter production than had no selection been made. See Bulletin 292 Ontario Agricultural College for O.A.C. Poul try Department’s results of Breeding for Egg Production. Hovz I Use Old Batteries. Last spring I collected a number of wet-cell battery containers made of crockery, to use for food containers in my kitchen cabinet. There is a small round hole in the centre of each cover and a slit about one inch long on the edge. Through the round hole I screwed a wooden knob, then put putty in tho slit, making a sanitary container with an easily removed lid. Since the color scheme in my kit chen is blue and white I used blue enamel on the knobs and with blue paint added the name of the foodstuff to be kept in each jar, such as rice, tapioca, beans, etc. These uniform, at tractive jars make a much neater ap pearance on my cabinet shelves than do the paper bags in which foodstuffs are purchased.—Mrs. D. C. Steadfast.
