Oen, Robertson announced that an- other half million niust be provided by July in order to .maintain reserves and keep the fighting units up to full strength. When the 600,000 hare been provided in July there Will merely be another demand for further angmen- tatione later. The inexorable demands from the trenches must be met somehow. How they are to be met, how man power is continually to be provided to meet the wastage of war is indicated by the progressive organization of the cpun- try's youth for training in anticipa- tion of the time when they shall ar- rive at military age. All over the country battalions of boys, none of them beyond the age of le years and 8 months, are being sys- tematically trained for the army. Schoolboys, college boys, apprentices --youth of all classes -as soon as they are physically capable of undertaking the work of trainig are put into the organizations for preparation. STRAIN CAREFULLY AVOIDED. Careful measures have bean adopted to insure that they shall not be over- trained and either physieally or men- tally injured by the strain. Officers in charge of these organizations of boys have been provided with special in- structions as to the service that my safely be demanded. A good -deal of discretion in this regard is left to commanding efficers and drill maters, but after all the purpose is to audit the national youth for soldiery service as rapidly and efficiently. as poseible. Much lighter requirements, however, are imposed on the youngest class of erospective soldiers. They are given graduated instruction in various drills Lor the purpose of hardening their physiques. Games, lectures and edu- entional work are provided in addition tn ordinary military training, There are twelve fortnightly periods In the training course for youth of this elass. In the first period of two weeks sixty-four hours of work are required, of which twelve hours are given to games and educational work. After, the first period fourteen hours 51'O set settle in eaeh fortnightly period for these purposes. Such games as cricket, football, and boxing are particularly prized for their effeet on the physique of the 're- cruit.

It is found that almost invariably the boys take keen interest in these intellectual opportunities. Their mode of life is thoroughly healthy, and their ambition finds the stimulus that corees from both patriot - le interest and compention, During the first four weeks of the course route marching with kits is fore bidden lest it impose too heavy a physical strain. Atter they are properly conditioned they are gradually broken Into these heavier phases of duty, and the fourth fortnight's training in run- ning and route_ marching with kits be- gins; also boinbing practice with dum- my bombs.

There could be no more impressive illustration of how little ceremony en- ters into the soldier's 'routine nowa- days than to observe the daily duties of these campaigns. The fine martial effects teat were once so much prized get scant consideration indeed, On the other hand the democracy of the new British anny is shown by the fact that officers in these boy battalions are di- rected to take note of the special apti- tude of their recruits for particular kinds of service with the purpose of giving them training for non-commis- sioned officers, and. ultimately for commissions, Youngsters of poor physique or weak health are especially classified and are given a number of weeks of special light training with the purpose of building them up before they shall undertake the serious work of being turned into soldiers. 7n this regard alone the benefits accruing to many thousand a of young men have been in- calculable. /see SPY CHIEF SLAIN.

Manasseh was the son of Hezelciali and Hephzthali and was born three years after his father's ex- traordinary recovery from Hitless, At the early age of twelve years be atm- ceeded his father Upon the throne of Judah and reigned for fifty-five years. In his early years as king be mist have been under the influence of ad - viers and it is reaeouably ortaill that they were ungodly and idolatrous, and Manasseh was turned front the good way whicle his father had taken, and "did diet which was evil in the sight of the Lord, like uuto the abomina- tions of the heathen" (v. 2). He re- stored the idolatrous worsides Which Hezeidah had zealously destroyed. He went so far as to build heathen altars in the house of the Lord, thus rival- ing Mute in his desecration of the holy place . He set up groves, of carved wooden Pillars, for the Wershie of Aeherah which involved the most degrading and abominable practices. He worshipped Moloch, the god of the Ammonites, It is believed that a part of this worship emulated of plac- ing children in the arms of a brazen image of the god, while the image was made hot by fires burning within it, and thu,s they were sacrificed to this god. Manasseh employed magic and witchcraft, giving himself up to the superstitions and deceptione of the heathen." His course was so wicked and he was so persistent in it that the Lord was greatly displeased with him, ,and the conditional promise which had been given to the nation could not be mueh longer fulfilled, unless there should be a change in Judah's attitude toward, the Lord. 9. Worse than the heathen -Manasseh was Israel's king and wielded a powerful infraence. His people followed him in evil -doing. His reign was long, and his efforts and ex- ample were uninterruptedly bad for more than forty years. Josephus says, "He barbarously slew all the righteous men that were among the Hebrews, nor would he spare the prophets, for he every day slew some of them," The nobles who took their part • were thrown headlong from the reeky cliffs of Jerusalem (Pea. 141;0, 7). -Stanley. 10. The Lord spake-By the prophets. Possibly Isaiah and Micah were among them. Tradition says that Manasseh caused, Isaiah to be sawn asunder.

It was not merely that Manasseh might be made to suffer for his sins that the Lord used these severe measures witb hint, but that he might be brought to a State of penitence and migbt be made a righteous man, III. Penitence and Pardon (vs. 12- 20). 12. besought the Lord -Manas- seh knew about the true God and hence had sinned against great light, In his exile and captivity he thought of the extremely wicked course he had taken.

'When mtik tat is worth nem 40 to 50 cente per pound, as it has been for aome time, the dairy farmer may well pause before feeding it to calves or •any ether •animals on the farm. The first thing necessary in order to save all the milk -fat possible for sale as cream, is •a'sultable means of recoveringthe fat from the milk - serum, or what is •commonly known as skim milk, There are two general methods of creaming milk -by gravity, where the milk is set in pans or deep aans for the cream to rise, which is usually a wasteful method of obtain- ing eream; and, second, by the mechanical or separator method, which is almost perfection so far as recovery of milk -fat is earteerned, where a mod- ern cream separator is used under proper ,conditions. There are two forms of applying power to a cream separator -by hand, or by some me- chanical contrivance, such as steam engine, electric • motor, gasoline en- gine, tread power, etc. Boht are satis- factory if properly applied. SKIM MILK FOR POULTRY. In the practical operation of cream separators, the man point to watch carefully is that of speed, because speed has a very important effect on "closeness or skimming," and on the percentage of fat in the cream, as- suming that the machine is properly eonqtructed and is operated wording direetious of the manufaeturer, The law of the effect of speed en centri- fugal and centripetel forces ;nay be stated briefly as follows: Double the speed, diameter of separater bowl be- ing constant, and the centrifugal and centripetal forces, which 'eatiee a sep- aration of the cream trent skim milk, are inoreased fourfole.

It may be fed in three feeds during- the first six weeks and in two feeds after that time.

Just before, and immediately after weaning pigs, there is scarcely any- thing welch will replace ekina milk. Tankage is recommended as a sub- stitute. The writer's experience with tankage has been very limited. ITe purchased 200 pounds one time for a bunch of pigs, but they could scarcely be induced to eat it, The smell of it was vile. The cattle and horses were nearly erazed by the. smell of blood from it.

It may be all right. where hogs ohly are fed, but other live stook do not take kindly to the odor. The best combination for young pigs appears to be milk and middlings. Later barley, or barley and corn meal, or corn on the cob, may be added, es- pecially for' the fattening stage with hogs, At the 'present time. when the price of live bogs is hovering between $16 nd $17 per 100 pounds live weight, and the retail price of bacon is 40 cents per pound, "pigs is pigs," all right. Brood sows have sold et auc- tion sales during the past winter at $75 to $90 each -as much as a hero, or cow, ordinarily used to sell for. FEED CALVES UP TO SIX MONTHS. The skim milk may be eontitaued .as part of the ration until the hogs hre ready for sale at a weighof alnett 200 pounds, which should be attained In about six months' time.

The Danish pig feeders informed the writer that they onsider skint millt essential in the successful feeding of bacon hogs. Canadian feeders do not seem to have fully realized the value of skim nailk for bacon production. As the Canadian bacon trade iricreases itt importance we may expect dairy farm- ers to pay more attention to the value of dairy by-products in the produc- tion of what promises to be one of the most important side lines in the dairy industry of Canada. Dalry 'cows, bacon hogs and good fat elteep are the three best things a farmer can keep. The hen, as a sideline in fanning and back -yard gardening, is receiving considereble attention at the present time. Some of those who have been engaged in poultry farming on a small scale estimate that their eggs did not cost them much over one dol- lar a dozen during the winter of 1916- 17. However, others thine they were able to reduce this cost eonsiderablY in spite of the high price of feed. On the dairy tame where dairy by- products are available, eggs and fae tened chickens call be more profit- ably produced than elsewhere, The New Jersey Experiment Station re- ported during 'the past winter that "Egg producers can afford to pay 40 to 80 cents per 100 pounds for skim milk." For best results in feeding poul- try, it is fourol advisable to allow the milk to sour, as the lactic acid pro- duced by souring seems to have a beneficial effect on the digestion of their food by poultry. It is claimed also, that sour nailk will stop the habit of eating eggs, which is quite oommon in winter when hens are un- able to secure their natural food sup- ply. While It is undoubtedly true that the most economical way to utilize skim milk is directly as human food, mikl to sour, as the antic acid pro- duced by souring stems to have a 'beneficial effect on the digestion of their food by poultry. It is Maimed also, that sour milk will stop the table of eating eggs, which is quite owing to the prejudice in Canada and the United States against skim milk for persons, it is not likely to be used to any great extent in the diet- ary .of Canadians for eome time to eome. In European cities it is large- ly used. At the time of the welter's last visit to Copehagen in Denmark, le was told that nearly as much skim milk was sold in the city as of whole milk, The price of skim milk was about one-half that obtained for whole milk. In America, if it were known that certain families were buying skim milk, the children would likely be taunted by the expeession, "0, see the Skim Milk Kids!" 11 18 a matter of boasting among our people that they buy the most expensive foods regard- less of their nutritive qualities.

He was largely successful in his work of restoring the worship of the Lord among the peo- ple. His life would have been of far greater worth to kis nation and the world had he followed front the be- ginning of his reign the good example of his father. At his death he "was burie&. in the garden of his own house" (2 Kings 21: 18). Questions, -Who was Manasseh? When and where did he live? Who was his father? What can you say of lelanaseeh's character? What heath- en gods did he worship? How did he desecrate the temple? What is meant by passing through the fire? What was the valley of Ilinnont? What Is meant by observing times? How was Manasseh punished? Whet" and where did he repent? Sheet that his repent- ance Was thorough. aloW did the Lord show him favor? PRACTICAL SURVEY.

Man- aeseh violated a covenant made at Sinai which had been repeatedly re- newed in the history of the elebreW nation. There has never 'been in any land a greater thange, a sadder reac- doe, than that experienced by Judah when the godly Heeeklith was tele- ceeded by the apostate 1Vtanaeseh. He linttated the heathen. He dishonored his father. He defied. JehMtali and re - jetted the adMonitions of his holy pro- phete, During Manasseh% long reige the true character of the nation's sin, the emential nature of Idolatry, the In- herent wiekednevel of such apostasy from Jehoveli, was unmistakably re. \reeled.

II. A foreign religion adopted. Man- asseh restored Canaanitieh abomina- tions. He revived Baal and Moloch worship, He extended star worship. He plunged into the mysteries of eor- eery. In a ehort time he completely ehanged the whole religion of the kingdom. He welcomed heathen, idol- atroue creeds and rites of all kinds, from all sources. He seemed to aim at nothing leas than a complete suppree- eon of the worehip of Jehovah and the reorganization of the religion of the nation upon foreign models. Judah changed her God for seneeless idols. These were the abominations for Which God had cast out the original Inhabitants of the land. Manasseh re- instated them in full force. He ex- ceeded Ahaz in the zeal with which he imported Idolatry front foreign na- tions. There was a vigorous idola- trous party at court. Though it was suppremed by Hezekiab, with Meath's help, the spirit of idolatry was not er- adicated from the country nor greatly weakened in itee energy, . III. 1.4 reformation proclaimed. The divine forbearance and long suffering extended to Judah's king and people indicated God's yearning for their re- storation. In this case nothing ap- peared poteht enough to arrest hitt ill his reckless career. Not until he was led captive into Babylon, did he pause and begin to reflect on his wicked- ness. It was not a matter of chance that Manasseh fell ihto adVersity. It was a scourge expressly set 'upon him 'or his tratsgressions. It Was not by chance that he wan reatored to his kingdom, but by the unseen inter- position of the all -wise Dispenser Of event e Old in consequence of his deep humiliation and }nimble prayer. It was well for 'Manasseh that lee was checked he his iniqUities. Xfe discdv- ered that the Lord was God both in his power to afflict and to restore.
