to partake of the benefits of the gospel
has ,been extended, and the prophet
proceeds to make clear what conditions
are to be met. It is necessary for us
to seek the Lord if we would flud him.
There must be a whole -hearted seek-
ing, for only that kind of seeking will
be rewarded (Jer. 29;13). While he

II. The revealed plan of Clod. -
I. The great need of humauity, Tais
very memorable chapter may be called
God's own gospel sermon. It is an
invitation from Jehovah to hearken
diligently unto him and to find peace
In him, The voice of Jehovah, the
God of truth, of love, of all patience
and consolation, invites, entreats, era
postulates. The chapter sets forth the
nature of true repentance and saving
faith. It shows how vastly important
It le to have right ideas of God sinca
character and conduct are shaped ac-
cording, to one's thoughts of him.
This chapter gives a biblical picture
of a sinful man when he realizes his
soul's needs, lost in the desert, parehed
by thirst, faint with hunger, deceived
by the mirage, ready to perish. All
unregenerate souls are said to be
thirsting with more or less intensity
for that which they have not. The
call is for a return to God, to first
relations, to natural courses of con-
duct. There is a contrast between the
blessings offered and those for which
men so laboriously toll. There is a
foolish course to be avoided and
wise method to be pursued. To in-
cline the ear and hearken diligentle
unto God is to follow the divine
teaching's as to the aim and method
of life. The covenant here mentioned
is one in which God promises to be-
stow freely upon his children s variety
of the greatest and most needed bless-
ings. The contents of the covenant
are the same as the mercies promised
to David and. his house. Nothing
necessary is left unsaid to the inquir-
ing soul. The whole fact of human
responsibility and divine promise con-
cerning man's salvation is set forth.
The teaching here is that man has
Lost the Lord, The appalling fact is
that he is unconscious of the terrible
catastrophe which has befallen him.
In the central verse of the chapter is
the gateway • from the desert to the
garden, "Let the wicked forsake his
way." Repentance is enjoined as a
cohdition of pardon.
' II. The revealed plati of God. After
the glorious goapel invitations, ex-
postulations and extortations follows
the declaration, 'Behold, I have given
Him." There is no gospel apart from

bestowment of all those blessings
which were promised to David cue the
type of Christ. They are "sure" ae res-
pects the foundation from which they

of the holy and eternal One. There ie

WEED OUT THE MALE BIRDS.'"
(Experimental Farms Note.)
The worker bees put their house in
order by killing off all the male bees
as soon as teir services are no longer
required. What a great benefit it
would be to the poultry producer and
the poultry market consumer if the
hens of the flock would likewise dis-
pose of the male birds in those flocks
that are indiffereutly managed. The
worker bee permits no star boarder
to loaf around and consume the pro-
duct of her labor. The hen is not like
the bee in asserting her rights. If she
were,, then her verdict would be,
"Roster you must die."
There aro over two million five
hundred thousand roosters of the var-
ious breeds of chickens kept for
breeding purposes by the people of
our country. Or this vast army per-
haps one hundred and fifty thousand
have a right to live for another year
of service. One hundred and fifty
thousand may be good enough as in-
dividuals and in breeding to be used
In the increase of their kind. What of
the two million three hudured and
fifty thousand that are usually Der-
mitted to live, birds that consume
feed, worry the hens and reduce the
quality of market eggs?
The function of the rooster is to
develop and distribute -germ cells,
during a short period of three months,
February, March and April. These
germ cells should be distributed only
to such egg laying individuals as are
desired to perpetuate the breed. The
germ cell is a living organism capable
of starting a chain of deirelopment
and here is where the mischief Ilea if
they are distributed where they do
not serve their proper function. in
race perpetuation.
The function of the modern, hen is
to produce eggs, ten per cent of
which may be desired for the increase
of the breed and the remaining ninety
.Per cent. for human food. Nine eggs
are used for human food where but
one is used for hatching. Only one-
tenth of the eggs that a hen lays re-
quire fertilization. 'Why fertilize the
nine -tenths of the product that is used
for human food? The addition of a
living germ cell to an that is pro-
duced for human food does not add
anything to its value and may set up
ja, chain of embryo development that
will make the egg quite unfit for hu-
man food.
Eggs gathered' from flocks where
the roosters are permitted to run
after the hatching season is over, are
not desirable for • storage. They are
net desirable • in the pantry during
periods of warm 'weather as high tem -
peraturee will start incubation. Eggs
in tlie first stage of decay aro not de-
sirable for human food.
It is an easy matter to prevent the
fortililation of eggs. If the Male bird
is just an ordinary one, an axe and
a block of wed will prevent turther
mischief. It the male bira is possess
-
cd of such merit as would warrant his
being boarded for a year to be used in
the next season's breeding operations,
thou give him an enclosure of his
own and see that he stays in it.
The cost of the teed consumed by
an ordinary rooster is about twenty
cents a month. an you afford it? If
you keep poultry with profit aa your
object, can you afford to keep a star
boarder for nine months and perhape
having him doing mischief all tae
thne?
Tile two million, three hundred and
fifty thousand odd, unnecessary Anal()
birds are costing the country about
three and a halt mtnion dollars per
year while enjoying life. These un-
necessary birds are at the same time
doing about tell million dollars' dam-
age to the egg -producing business. If
every person owning a rooster would
manage aini as a male bird should be
managed, the poultry industry would
be benefited by additional profits
many millions of dollars.

Per "Ora per year. This flock was
fed almost on barley and oats with
a little corn and bueltwheat for the
evliole grain part of the ration. The
only wheat used was one bushel and
this was fed to the small chickens.
Barley is an excellent feed and can
be readily substitpted for wheat. At
present prices hi Eastern Canada
oats is about the cheapest feed that
can be used.
DANDELIONS.
Gardeners tell us that the best way
to get rid of dandelions is to out the
plant betow the crown. That may
be very true, but it ia a most tedious
job trying to clean a lawn of dande-
lions unless there is seme other incen-
tive given. This may be furnished by
using the dandelions for feed for the
chickens and poults. Both chicks and
poults are exceedingly fond of them
andthey are one of the best green
foods that can be given.
A WHEATLESS RATION.
At the present time it should be
the aim of every one to economize on
the use of wheat to as great an extent
as posible, Now that such a large
have been drawn from production
famine will inevitably come unless
the greatest care is exercised. The
authorities would be quite justified
in forbidding the use of milling
grades of wheat for stock feeding so
as to hold it for human consumption.
At the United States Department of
Agriculture Farm Experiments have
been carried on to show. that it is
possible to feed fowl without the use
of wheat and still show results that.
which wheat is fed.
Thirty -white Leghorn pullets have
been on the test for a year and a half
and in their pullet year they averag-
ed 147.3 eggs each. This is not
phenomenal record but it is a good re-
cord and one that is very much above
the average throughout the ccomtry.
This pen averaged during the first
sixteen weeks of its record year 28.5
eggs which shows that the ration. han
produced no bad effects.
The same ration has been fed since
last November to a pen of Buff Or-
pingtons pullets. This pen holds the
highest egg record of any pen on the
farm, namely, fifty-three eggs in
twenty weeks. Two other pens simi-
larly fed, however, are less than one
egg per hen behind this one.
The ration used was, for scratch
feed two parts cracked corn to one
part oats and for mash, three parts
etas meal to one part beef scrap, all
by weight.
The scratch feed was fed sparing-
ly so as to force the birds to use more
of the dry mash than they would oth-
erwise have done The amount of food
consumed per hen was fifty two
pounds, of which half was scratch
feed and half mash feed. These re-
sults were interesting, but judging
from the notice that one American
paper gives of these experiments it

PAPER CONTAINERS 'FOR HONEY.
We have received the following
comment from Mr. Morley Pettit, Pro-
viucial Apiarist, on Mr. Station's ar-
ticle entitled "Au attractive ,paper
container for honey," that appeared
in our issue of June 16:
"1. consider that Mr. Sladen's work
in this line is very opportune, as pre-
sent indications are that tin will be
practically beyond the reach • of bee-
keepers by another year, unless we
should be favored by the unexpected
but much desired early and favorable
concluston of the war.
"Beekeepers have been experiment-
ing with paper honey containers for
ninny years. These may be divided
broadly into two classes, the eontaia-
er which is filled before the honey
granulates, and tb.e cardboard. box
wrapping placed about bricks of
honey cut with wires from honey
which has already granulated and be-
come hard.
"There are two serious objections
ti either form of honey package for
retail. The first and greatest of these
is the fact that the general buying
public, particularly of Ontarie, dees
not care for granulated honey and
will buy much more readily especoleIy
In small packages where the honey
Is well and carefully liquefied before
Bening. If beekeepers are compelled
through necessity to force granulated
honey on the consumers of Ontario, it
will be a serious detriment to the sale
of honey. The second objection to
the paper package is the fact that
when stored for several months, par-
ticularly in warm or damp places,
granulated honey becomes soft and in
paper packages would become less at-
tractive, if not unsaleable. In other
words ,the honey would not have anye
thing like the keeping qualities that

Conflict Over Rupture Con-

Diet Feels Petrograd is Too
Busy to Stop It.
Helsiugfors, Thursday, July 19.--A
conflict with Russia is regarded as
inevitable because of the action et the
Finnish Diet in adopting a bill grant.
Ing independence to Finland. The So-
cialist members of Parliament assert,
however, that Petrograd has its hands
too eull with its own troubles to at-
tempt repressiou.
Before the adoption of the bill a de-
cision was taken on the question whe-
ther the measure should be treated as
urgent or pestponed uatil the next
session. The decisioa In favor of ur-
gency required a five-siatas majority
'Ander article sikty of the constitution,
which the Socialist majority had
agreed to respect. The decision- in-
volved the immediate voting oa the
bill, the result giving a two-thirds
majority necessary for the alteration
of fundamental laws,
The announcement of the vote was
received by prolonged cheering, and
cries of "Long Live Finland" and
"End Russian connection." The Diet
thereafter rejected, 104 against 87, a
proposal by M. Talaa, member of the
Young Finnish party, that the law, as
prescribed by the constitution, be sub -
'flitted for Russia's approval or veto.
A final vote was taken on a resolu-
tion of M. Hornberg, member of the
Swedish party, the import of which
was that the Diet reserve the right
tobreakthe lo.stbonds with Russia.
u w
The Hornberg resolutioas defeated
hie
ly by the vote of the Socialists
themselves, wao Amid for this policy,
but object to following the initiative
of the non -Socialist parties.
After the vote on the bill, the Sen-
ate prepered a statement to be read
by Premier Tokio, announcing its res-
ignation. The motive was that the
Senate was appointed by the Russian
provisional Governnaent as the inb.er-
itor ot the Grand Duke of Finland's
prerogatives, but as the provisional
Government's power in Finland was
now abolished, the Senate lost local
standing. It would remain in power
only until the Diet appointed a new
Senate.
The Pieeident- of the Diet refused
to accept the statement, on the ground
that it was out of order. The state-
ment will be made later. The general
expectation is that M. Tokoi will be
reappointed by the Diet, with a Cab-
inet consisting of representatives of
the parties, pro -rata as heretofore.
As the Diet dispersed there was a
patriotic demonstration in the streets.
SI. Tokoi expressed his satisfaction
at the Diet's coup d'etat, saying, "We
may be sure of Finland's independ-
ence guaranteed for anthem."
The bill whereby Finland seeks to
wrest complete independence from
Russia, was adopted by the Diet
amidst unexampled enthusiasm and
solemnity.
"YOU will note that I have referred
to the sale of honey in Ontario..While
it may be positively stated that well
liquefied extracted honey sells more
readilytoal classes of buyers in On -
tart°, it seems that in the Western
Provinces the preference is for honey
In the granulated form. This is very
doubtless because they have not had
well liquefied honey offered them. But
since they do buy it readily a satis-
factory paper or wooden container
would be very acceptable for Wester )
shipment.' In addition to the small
package, a 6 lb. and a 10 lb. tontainer
are also much to be desired.
"Finally the argument that an
prevent spread of disease has much
to commend it. The other advantages
which favor the consumer are ques-
tionable. It is a rule in business that
the consumer pays all the cost of pro-
duction and distribution including ex
tras such as the war tax, etc. He for
she) always pays for the package
either by weight or by price. It is
now understood that small tin •con-
tainers of honey are sold gross weight
and the transfer to net weight in
paper would only be of tenaporary ad-
vantage to the buyer, while it would
put the producer at a disadvantage
during the transition!'

London, July 20. -The Daily Mail
nu.blishes a general outline of the Air
Board's plans for aeroplane construc-
tion, which the journal declares 'will
be organized before long on a scale
commensurate with shell production
after Lloyd George's campaign two
years ago. •
The board, says the Mail, spent the
last few weeks in eliminating inferior
designs, searching for materials and
placing contracts for supplies for two
years ahead. Meanwhile it is main-
taining supplies of aeroplanes upon
every front. Nothing has been heard
outside of this great task, which is
now successfully accomplished.
So vast are the requirements of our
air fleets that a whole year's output
of Honduras mahogany is insuffieleet
for the requirements of this great
effort.
The United States and Canada will
take an important part in the supply
of raw material. The only doubt is
whether the man -power of this coun-
try is equal to the task.

Potato blight, or rot, has made its
appearance in some sections, although
there appears to ae no complaints yet
around Hamilton It is well to be
warned, as neglect might cause great
loss. Potato growers should keep a
sharp lookout for it, as it quickly
runs through a whole field if it gets
started. Here are the symptoms:
It attacks leaves, stems and tubers,
though not so much on stems as on
the other two.
On the"leaves-Dark colored spots
toward the edge of the leaves, •with
a water -soaked appearance when the
disease is active.
On the under surface of these spots
a delicate, white fungus growth may
often be seen.
In wet weather these Recite increase
In size, and run into each other, and
the whole leaf becomes soft, brown
and rotten, and droops down around
the stem, and has a disagreeable odor.
In • dry weather the spots do not
increase in size, but dry up and be-
come brown and brittle.
On the stern brown Straeks are
sometimes seen. •
Oa the tubers -If infected. the
tubers show pits or depressions on
the surface and these pits or depres-
sions have a water soaked appearance
and a purply tinge, when the tubers
are mit letigthWise brown streaks or
or spots are formed on the flesh be-
".
isdisease appears about the mid-
dle of July or early August. It spreads
vary rapidly in wet weather by means
of the little spores. Spraying with
Bordeaux mixture has bee o found to
be the most reliable Method of pre-
venting both blight and rot.
Take special care to see that spray-
ing IS very thoroughly done, especial-
ly if the weather is wet about July
