Introduction—Isaiah was a keen observer of the events of his time. It was with deep insight into God’s ways that he looked upon the tragic events ,of his age, the fall of Damascus in j 732, the fall of Samaria in 721, and [the siege of Jerusalem in B.C. 701. [I. AHAU AND THE SYRO-ISRAELITE IN- 1 VASION, ch. 7. In 735 the king of Damascus (or rather of Syria), hard pressed by the growing power of Assyria on the east, formed an alliance with the king of Israel against Assyria, qnd these two endeavored first to persuade and then to force Judah to join with. them. Ahaz, king of Judah in Jerusalem, preferred to ally his little kingdom with Assyria, and thus made himself and his people vassals of and, tribut-, ary to that proud and powerful em­ pire. Chapter 7 tells us how these two petty kings, to strengthen their defensive league against Assyria, in­ vaded Judah intending to take Jeru­ salem, depose King Ahaz, and put | upon the throne of Judah a man of' their own choosing, and how in Jeru­ salem, king and people were stricken with terror (vs. 1-2 c.f., v. 6, and 2 Kings 16:5-8).

Another source of fur carded garments, and the clever wo­ man will salvage any good fur before disposing of garments no longer of use. Often fur that looks worn or faded on one garment, used with dis­ cretion, will dress up another gar­ ment.

But securing certl- a new pamphlet on Certified Seed tUTe, Ottawa, the care of the potatoes in storage before seeding time is highly important. Potatoes, no mat­ ter bow perfect, cannot stand rough handling, high temperatures, or wet conditions. After having gone to the trouble of producing a crop of certified seed po­ tatoes or of obtaining them from a dealer, it would bo foolish to allow them to deteriorate on account of im­ proper storage. The proper tem­ perature at which potatoes should be stored is 37 degrees F. It is absolute^ ly essential that the potatoes be kept’ as dry as possible, and the best means to obtain this result would be to" store them In crates, providing means for tjie free circulation of air among the "crates throughout the en­ tire storage period. Bag storage is a safe method only if the potatoes can be kept dry. If bin storage is i esorted to, care should be taken to avoid piling the tubers against the wall or directly on the floor, as this practice does not permit of sufficient ventilation, especially when the quantity is large, A false wall of slats, close enough together to retain the potatoes and about 6 inches from the main wall should be constructed. sports coat, supply from is from dis- the pelt and gently pull the fur apart. Very few hairs are cut by title method and a nice clean edge is left for sew Ing. Not more than one-eighth ot an inch needs to be allowed for seama i and If one makes jadded or crooked edges these can be evened off again - with a stroke of tho knife. Never uso ; scissors to trim the pelt for it is like- : ly to cut off the lialrs of the fur and r make it almost impossible to conceal ' seams or patches. After cutting one piece of fur, it is well to stop and try it on the garment and with other pices, to be sure that the fur Is going the right way as well as to match the color of the pieces. Color matching is indeed important for a fur of one color will vary greatly { in shades in various' areas and most unhappy results are obtained unless this is studied. For example, beaver, while easily seamed, often shaded from light tan to deep brown and it . would be most startling td 'seam a col- • lar at the back, having light tan on one side qf the seam and deep brown on the other. 1 Yet there are exceptions to thes& rules and it is not as difficult as it may sound, • some very pretty effects with odds and ends of fur. For instance, cara- 1 cul can really be patched in all kinds of ways, with fur going north, south, east and west, and with ,light and dark mixed hither and thither. The writer had a caracul neckpiece, which was a loyely quality of fur and a beautiful col^r Imt extremely out o£ style in design, She literally cut it to pieces to shape it into a modern coat collar for she patched together 57 small piece's at various angles and in various ways. Yet when finished, it was remarked upon by several friends who did not know of its “seamy side!” Patching and Seaming. In patching a small piece of fur into a larger one, as, for example, along a lower cuff line, where the edge has become worn, it has been found much easier and better to patch in triangles of fur rather than squares. These triangles may even be. inserted in ti middle area where fur is worn, and by their shape they will hide success­ fully among the fur that brushes over the seams. Seaming and sewing is of great im­ portance. Seams must all be tight, but not drawn or puckered. A strong, sturdy sewing needle, of medium size, must be used, with No. 50 black thread for dark fur; and the stitch re­ quired is a flue over-the-over one, made while holding the edges of fur together tightly, with the fur brushed away from the seam as much as pos­ sible. Buttonhole stitch is excellent, too, resembling the machine stitch used by furriers. If stitches are taken loosely the fur will have parts which are most unbecoming to collars and cuffs, but this can be remedied by re­ sewing the seams, going in Die oppo­ site direction. Deep stitchesx,are not as important as ones close Together with tightly drawn thread. The outside edges of fur are usual­ ly bound with tape or strips of black i muslin, and this is simply done by sewing on tape cloth, in an over- and-over stitch, then basting the tape in toward the pelt, ready to sew on the garment. Padding. Padding is another item ilml lielpi to make collars and cuii’is attractive when finished.

On the other hand, the extra labor of cutting -and grinding adds materially to the cost.

The use of such seed would double the yields now ’ being obtained on many farms. Age of Steers to Feed in selecting steers for feeding work, periments in feeding steers ^of differ­ ent ages. Over a six years period the two-year-olds made the greatest gains, but the yearlings were a close second and the three-year-olds were not far •behind. The younger steers had the advantage in the cost per pound gain, [ai the cost increases with age. The I lower feeding cost of the younger steer is due to the fact that he is j growing and putting on fat at the this All off, therefore, and it was found that cer­ tain sections of the banding were fresh. "Immediately the experimenter thought of one of those new seamed fur collars that have been so much in vogue this year. Piecing one strip af­ ter another, she soon had a smart col- i lar for another gray coat that did not, I because of its matching color, draw as much attention to the fur but blended prettily with it. Find the Direction of the Fur. Whatever the material on hand, the next consideration is the size of collar or cuffs that are to be made. If a col­ lar is quite badly worn and there is new material, it is better to make ai? entire ne wcollar and use the old col­ lar for mending the cuffs wherever they, are most worn. Laying out the ’fur, one will notice that it “goes” a certain way and this must be careful­ ly borne in mind when planning new collars or trimmings. Noticing hojjr the old collar was arranged will help one, and in planning tho new collar the old one can often be used for tho when finished. The padding removed right dimensions.

Most collars also have the fur going away from the neck, that is with the brush or pile turning down. Sometimes the collar is seamed at the back, however, to have the fur go from the back toward the front, one each side, as well as to tend in a downward direction. Most fur really has a- very definite “way” which is easily recognized by stroking; a smooth and a rough way. Look Before, Cutting. Certain -that the fur will all “go” the right way, the next step is cutting. For this purpose a tiny sharp pen­ knife blade-is ideal. The fur should be laid fur downward, and with pen­ cil or chalk one can mark on the pelt where one wishes to cut. Then draw the knife with a down stroke across laid against thd pelt and tacked under the outer taping and here and there o nthe pelt, if necessary, nr to the lining of the garment when the fur is sewed in place. Short stitches shoulT’be used to whip the fur to the., garment, and these are casiiyxtaken because one can sew to tape instead of to the pelt, hiding the stitches un­ der the fur that always out on 111% edges of cuffs or collars. When0ver fur is caught under the thread, it is well to pull it out carefully with the needle1 as one goes along, so (he fur . will not look irregular in edge when done or have a “sewed tight” look that is sometimes the result of an amateur’s work. A few light quick shakes of the fur will fluff it up when one has finished the piece, and airing it for a few hours, in the fresh bright sunshine, will improve its appearance, whether it is new fur or old fur or a combina­ tion of both. — Christian Science Monitor.
