The prevailing low prices of dairy products make it imperative that the dairy farmer dispose of his produce in such a manner that the maximum re­ turn will be forthcoming. Although the cost of milk production has ma- ( terially decreased within the last two years, the market for whole milk, which has also decreased, is still in­ capable of absorbing this milk at a figure that will net the producer ^a reasonable profit, more when the milk, in order market, must be shipped distances. The dairy farmer who where he can cater to a milk trade is in a better position to solve the difficulty than one at a con­ siderable distance from such a market. Under the latter circumstances, cream can be more profitably disposed of than whole milk. On the other hand, separated or skim-milk has a very high feeding value for live stock, par­ ticularly for the feeding of hogs, and can be used very profitably for this purpose. It is frequently stated that approxi­ mately 5 pounds of meal are required to produce a pound of pork with hogs finishing about 220 pounds in weight. For hogs finishing at 180 pounds, the meal required should not exceed 4^£ pounds, while hogs around 150 pounds should not need more than 4 pounds of meal per pound of gain, these figures being averages, when no milk products are fed. It has been found that the feed cost for a ten-weeks-old pig during the last year averaged about $3.08. As­ suming that this pig weighs 40 pounds, and in order to reach market weight it must gain 140 pounds, and also assuming that this hog will con­ sume an average of 4.5 pounds of meal per pound of gain, this meal costing $30 per ton, the hog will then cost $12 .53 when 180 pounds in weight. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the addition of skim-milk to a meal ration reduces the meal consump­ tion per pound of gain. An experi­ ment recently completed at the Cen­ tral Experimental Farm demonstrated that in a ration in which skim-milk and meal were fed, the feed required particularly to reach its considerable is so located city’s whole culling, start about July 1.

Comparing < these feeds on the same cost basis, it is found that these gains would cost 4.72 cents per pound of gain as com­ pared with 6.75 cents for a straight meal ration. The hogs on this test were about three months of age when placed on the test, while in the former test the hogs were fully a month younger. A further test with Berkshire hogs (5) fed from weaning to the time they attained 175 pounds in weight—a per­ iod of 153 days—showed an average feed consumption of 1.6 pounds of meal and 5.4 pounds of milk per pound of gain, this ration costing 3.5 cents per pound of gain, which is exception­ ally low. It may be deduced from these tests that milk products lower meal con­ sumption ; that when fed to bacon type hogs, milk products ensure a select finished product, other things being equal, and that, particularly for young pigs, milk products are in­ valuable. While these tests indication of what can be done with skim-milk and milk products in the production of bacon, the sure criterion of profit lies in the ability of the sow to farrow and raise a large number of pigs to six or eight weeks of age. The utilization of dairy products for such a purpose would seem to offer a practical solution for the marketing of these products as well as deflecting . the whole milk into another channel, and thereby permitting of further de­ velopment of the dairy industry with- to produce a pound of gain averaged out fear of the markets becoming con- 2 pounds of meal and 4.8 pounds of gested and resulting in a still further skim-milk, with hogs averaging 125 drop in prices. side by side between these bones, the] bird is probably still laying. doubt, examine the vent. r~' _____o of a laying bird is large, white and. twelve open lots that are 6x12 feet, moist, while that of a non-layer is yel-' The panels are held in place by slip- low, small, dry and wrinkled.

ALEXANDER. if First of all, get the horses used to stabling. Cool out the system by giv­ ing a few daily two-ounce doses of Glauber’s salts dissolved in the drink­ ing water. Give such treatment again, in the show .stables, if at any time the horses’ feces become mushy, foul­ smelling or pale-colored and slimy. Keep the skin clean and at each grooming throw the weight of the body into the brush or wiping cloth that the muscles may be vigorously massaged. Use the curry-comb to clean the brush, and keep off the skin. Put a little in the drinking water. USE ONLY FIRST CLASS Take along old, sound, whole oats and as much home-baled hay as can conveniently be accommodated in the car. Use it immediately to replace any poor hay supplied on the fair grounds and to feed when any der­ angement of the bowels is seen. At one large fair, years ago, the hay in bales furnished exhibitors was found white with mold and caused serious sickness. Carefully examine all feed and reject that which is questionable. Make no sudden changes in feed. Bandage the legs lightly when load­ ing or unloading, and also bandage the dock of the tail. Before loading, care­ fully examine the car and remove all loose nails or those projecting from the walls or the big sharp stalls are in ropes strong. KEEP THE HORSES COOL. Place a big chunk of ice in the manger for the horse to lick during transit. It will slake thirst and do much to prevent over-heating. Have the car well ventilated, but no matter how hot it is, never allow a horse to stand in a cold draft. The attendant may sit between two open car doors for hours without ill effect, but such exposure has caused fatal pneumonia in many a fat show horse. Blanket the chest comfortably if night and mornings are chilly, but leave the hind quarters bare. When the horses reach the fair­ ground stables, again examine for nails and other sharp objects. Before using the stalls, have an attendant spray the manger and walls with a 5 per cent, solution of commercial coal- tar disinfectant. (This should also be used in the box cars or special horse cars). This* spraying should be done daily. It is well also to sponge the muzzle of each horse twice daily with a 1 per cent, disinfecting solution. A little fresh chlorid of lime sprinkled on the floors of all old or dirty cars and stables also helps to prevent in­ fection. Give small amounts of Never let the horse fast for a long time and then eat heavily. See that each horse is given regular active daily walking exercise in addition to that done by showing in the ring. Take the horse’s temperature night and morning. The average temper­ ature is 100 deg. F. If a rise occurs, at once dissolve a teaspoonful of salt­ peter in the drinking water at inter­ vals of four hours and if it persists give two ounces of the following mix­ ture every two, three, four or six hours according to the degree of fever found present: Powdered saltpeter (nitrate of potash), one ounce; fluid extract of belladonna leaves, two drams; fluid extract of gentian root, two ounces; pure water, one pint. Add two or three drams of sweet spirits of niter at each dose, as this stimulant can not safely be mixed and corked in a bottled solution during hot weather. The dose is best given by means of a short-nozzled,, strong-barreled, hard- rubber syringe. If complications oc­ cur, a graduate veterinarian should at once be employed.---------------- Starting Troubles. One damp, rainy morning Farmer Brown Ws having difficulty starting his light delivery truck. Finally he appealed to his neighbor Jones. Brown explained the trouble and Jones immediately examined the ig­ nition system closely. Then taking a soft cloth he looked over the ignition coil, carefully wiping all around the centre, or high-tension, terminal which connects to the centre of the distri­ butor cap, taking special care to re­ move all moisture around the centre terminal. Next he removed the dis­ tributor cap and wiped it out on the inside. Replacing the cap, he next wiped off the porcelains or insulators of the spark plugs. That finished-, Jones stepped on the starter, and after a few turns the engine started. Brown was astonished that a dry cloth could cure the trouble, vnd Jones explained: “On damp, humid morn­ ings like this, after a car or truck has stood all night in the garage, the mois­ ture or ‘sweat’ will often collect on the spark plugs or other parts of the ignition system so heavily that instead of jumping across between the spark­ plug points in the engine cylinder the high-tension current will leak across or through the accumulated moisture, with the result that though the engine is in perfectly good running condition it will not start. Sometimes after a damp, foggy night the condensed mois­ ture will collect like drops of sweat on the spark-plug porcelains of my car, making starting impossible until it has dried off; so after a damp night I always examine -/]» ignition system.” the brush table salt HAY. fixtures.

Once the lawn is established it must i still be cared for and to properly j maintain it the following things must all be considered: 1. Weeding—A weedy lawn is un­ desirable; dandelions and plantains are usually the most troublesome weeds. Both may be spudded out, or for dandelions an effective treatment has proven to be a 25 per cent, solu­ tion of iron sulphate applied in three applications during August or Septem­ ber. The grass does not appear to be injured and the dandelions are very noticeably reduced. 2. Renewal of Bare Spots and Re­ seeding—If bare spots should occur on the lawn fill them in with good fertile soil and re-seed. Likewise it is often necessary and. desirable to apply new seed at intervals over the whole lawn, giving a crop of new and fresh plants to fill in any weak spots and to strengthen the whole lawn surface. 3. Use of Manure and Fertilizer— After a dry summer it is often par­ ticularly desirable to use an applica­ tion of manure in the fall. The best form to apply this dressing is as com­ post or very well-rotted, short manure. Weed seeds are to a great extent eliminated, the appearance is not so unsightly and it is not hard to clean up in the spring after such a dressing. In the spring, frequently, about 100 lbs. of nitrate of soda per acre is used just when growth is first starting. This may be followed in two weeks by another application and a month later by a third. But if for the sec­ ond application, or it might be com­ bined with the first, some such fertil­ izer as tankage or fish meal were used it would come into availability over a long period and as the grass plants needed it. 4. Rolling—At least each spring rolling should be practiced, when the ground is moist and during the sum­ mer also, if possible. Sometimes, if grubs are bothering the grass roots, rolling during the summer with a heavy roller on moist ground tends to control this pest to quite an extent.. 5. Watering—Facilities for water- No other part of a landscape scheme is so much a feature as the lawn. It is the foundation, as it were, upon which the scheme is built and its importance is first, last and always. However well executed the rest of the plan may be, unless the lawn is well made, well cared for and well arrang­ ed the whole scheme loses some of its effectiveness, often too much. Good lawns do not just happen; ' V. 3.

The fall is the best time to plant most herbaceous perennials, and the earlier these can be set out after the soil is likely to remain moist, the stronger plants they will make and the greater display of bloom there Paul’s training, as apostle of the Gen- should be from them the following season. The paeony should be planted in September if possible. Fall Planting. There is such a rush of work in the spring that it is desirable to do any planting in the fall that can be done, with a reasonable chance of success, in order to relieve the pressure in the spring. Further, there are some plants which are more likely to succeed if planted in the fall. The spring is, however, the best time to plant trees which are above the snowline all winter and exposed to drying winds. They do not usually become sufficiently established before winter sets in for them to take up moisture, the result being that a dry­ ing out of the trunk begins, and by spring the trunk has become so dry that growth is prevented except from the lower part which is not a satis­ factory condition sometimes; also, trees planted in the fall are heaved up to some extent and are then not in the ground deep enough; and they do not do well afterwards, even suppos­ ing they live. In the mildest parts of Canada, such as in the coast climate of British Columbia, trees can be planted successfully in the fall, and in some seasons they can be planted quite satisfactorily in other parts of Canada in the fall, but, taking one year with another, it is safer to plant in spring. In the case of bush fruits, such as currants and gooseberries, which be­ gin growth early in the spring, it is much better to giant them in the fall. If they can be obtained during the lat­ ter part of September that would be the best time to plant. Raspberries may be planted with hbout equal success in fall or spring,' but the advantage of fall planting is, that, should any of the plants die,, they can be replaced in good time in ] the spring, so saving a season; where­ as if the main planting is delayed until spring it will be too late to re­ plant that spring when it becomes known which are dead.

It would be advisable, however, to use pot plants and plant in August; then one might get some fruit the following spring. But early in the spring is the ideal time to plant strawberries, as the few fruits which are obtainable from fall set plants make planting them hardly worth while. Spring is the proper time to plant ornamental trees and shrubs; al­ though, as it will not matter much if the branches of shrubs are killed back at first, should the fall be found more convenient they can be planted quite satisfactorily then. . There would be the same objection to planting orna­ mental trees in the fall as with fruit trues.

Friends in Ephesus, Tyre and Caesarea had tried to dissuade him from this journey, while Agabus, the prophet, had said his going would mean imprisonment to him, Acts 21: 11. But Paul would not be persuaded. A false charge of having polluted the temple by taking Gentiles into it, stir­ red the people to violence against him, words of defence from the stairs of | the castle. His first words declare I that he is a Jew, for he had been mis- i taken by some for a foreign desper­ ado, Acts 21: 38. Bom in Tarsus. Tarsus was the capital city of Cilicia in Asia Minor, a great commercial and university centre. It was part of tiles, that he had lived in a great Gen­ tile city.

This passage is taken from a letter written by Paul, a prisoner in Rome, to the Christians in Philippi, in unto the resurrection. Paul desires to share in the sufferings of Christ, so; that his death would conform in spirit to Christ’s death and that so in turn. he might share in the power of Christ’s resurrection. Vs. 12-14. Not as though I had al-' ready attained. Paul has not yet reached all his desires. I follow after^ . . that I may apprehend; but he seeks to attain what has not yet been attained. He seeks to lay hold on it as a prize, just as Christ had laid hold j on him for this end. One thing . . \ forgetting . . reaching forth . . press I j toward the mark. A high call has : come to Paul from God, through Christ. To answer his call is the su­ preme desire of Paul. So, like a runner in the race, he never looks back nor thinks back, but thinks only, of the goal to be reached and the prize: to be won. These words show the dauntless spirit and quenchless hope of Paul. He is Paul the aged and Paul the prisoner. But his spirit is as eager as ever in the service of his Master. I APPLICATION. Paul, the Tarsian. The pre-Chris­ tian days of Paul are full of interest for us. No man leaves all his past behind him. The interests of the earlier period have a modifying effect on all subsequent experience. Paul, the Christian apostle, seems, and is, a very different person from Paul, the Pharisee; and yet it is possible to un- 1 duly minimize the things that are com­ mon to both periods. We can be sure that it was not only as a Christian missionary, under obligation to de­ fend himself, that he was glad and proud to remember and tell of his! status as a citizen of Tarsus, and moreover that he enjoyed the privi­ leges and immunities of a Roman citi­ zen. And again, whatever emancipa­ tion of thought there was when he heard the-Gospel and learned the truth of Christ, there can be no doubt that what he earlier learned at the feet of the great Rabbi, Gamaliel, tinctured his doctrine. i Paul, the Christian. Paul was a Everything else i seems subordinate to this great deter- ■minative fact. Christ was everything | to him. The love of Christ constrain- , ed him, urged and impelled him to all that heroic missionary life of priva­ tion and peril. Paul has no honor and no friend but Christ. Christ was to him both Sav­ iour and Lord. “I live; yet not I; but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Gal. 2: 20. lawn-making can be easily handled by just applying the same principles as would be used in making a small lawn by hand work. Drainage is necessary but in many cases is cared for by the natural slope of the ground or the type of soil, for usually the house site has been chosen on well-drained land. Preparation of the land by plowing, harrowing, grad­ ing and rolling, etc., follows. And here a point should be strongly em­ phasized: It is that care must be taken to remove all stones, sticks and rubbish before preparation is com­ pleted. Irj regard to grading, where the lawn is large and not desired per­ fectly level, the natural contours of the land may be followed more or less. Long, swelling, easy lines of grade are desired where space admits, although in general a level effect is maintained. When the grading has been accom­ plished and the seed bed put in the very finest possible condition by culti­ vation and, if the land should be poor, ' 10 to 15 tons per acre of well-rotted I manure plowed under or a good le­ guminous cover crop plowed in will help bring this about, it is ready for seeding. Now, as to time of seeding, there is always a variety of opinion expressed. Almost any time would be all right, provided the proper conditions of moisture and temperature could be ob­ tained. The spring offers the best time for this temperature-moisture relation and is usually the best time to sow lawn grass seed. Success is often attained through summer or fall seeding or sowing just before the first snow in the fall. Careful -work is!. needed in sowing the seed so as to get are °^en n°t available but during an even and sufficient distribution of yery drY seasons if the lawn could the seed.
