S. B,: -Please give me •a balanced
grails ration for calves about six
weeks or 2 months old, and is whole
shelled corn good to feed to small
calves?
Answer: A good ration for calves
lair weeks old is about half a pound
;per day of ground • oats and bran,
about one part of each, later ground
barley or ground corn can be added
+✓;o advantage. At two months, feed
one pound per day; at three months,
two pounds per day up to six months,
.As a general rule it is .not good prac-'
tide to feed whole shelled corn to
small calves. They ares unable to di -
,gest it.
Mrs. G. M.: -What do you think of
'beet. tops and beet roots for feed for
mnilch cows? Do you think beets would'
snake the milk taste or have any pe -1
•culiar smell?
Answer: Beet tops and beet roots
are excellent to feed milch cows. They
do not in any way taint the milk.
J. B. C.: -Do two applications of
fertilizer to a crop get better results .
than one application of the total num-'
ber of pounds? '
Answer:- It is a habit in the older
.countries of, the world where fertil-
izers are used, to apply the phosphates
in the fall of the year and the carries
sof nitrogen and potash in the spring.
This is not the custom in America

since larger areas of chops are grown
and the labor problem is so increasing-
ly pressing, Possibly slightly better
results could be obtained by an appli
cation of fertilizers in this way, but
the amount of the increase would be
so slight that when it is- balanced
against the added cost, the custom
would not prove profitable here.
Another phase of .the subject has.
to do with the place of application of
fertilizers in a rotation of crops. In-
vestigations of this kind are being
undertaken by Ohio Experiment. Sta.-
tion
tation where a rotation of corn, oats,
wheat and clover has been maintained
for some time, One set of plots are
operated where one-quarter of the to-
tal fertilizer is applied to each crop
in the rotation; another set of plots
where one-third of the fertilizer is ap-
plied to the cereal crops only. A third
set of plots has one-half of the fertil-
izer applied to corn and the other half
to wheat. The financial statement .of
the, increase produced by, these meth-
ods of application show a profit of
$41.20 per acre accruing from apply-
ing the fertilizer to the cereal crops
only, while $54.07 waa"the return 'from
the application of fertilizer to corn
and wheat only, allowing the oats and
the grass crop to depend on the fertil-

ration to eat.. After
giving the worm medicine it is nec-
essary to clean up the houses and
yards. 'Plowing the range to bring up
clean soil is also a help. Then plant
a crop of green food for the 'hens.
Puddles and wet manure heaps around
poultry yards seem to help in pro-
ducing worms that infest poultry, so
it pays to have the range clean and
well drained.

Fertilizing Pastures Increases
Carrying Capacity.
That fertilizer on pastures is pro-
ductive of better pasturage should be
known -to all farmers.
The Virginia 'Experiment Station
top -dressed pasture with fertilizer and
found that it helped materially in driv-
ing put broom sedge, one of the worst
weeds in southern pasture lands. The
Massachusetts Experiment . Station
fertilized an old pasture which had
"run out," and which had become over-
grown with mosses, sedges, bluets and
other weeds. The weeds were driven
out, clovers and blue grass brought in,
and the carrying capacity of the pas-
ture greatly increased. In neither
case, however, were _measurements
taken of the increase in production.
On permanent pastures the soil
must be so treated as to bring in white
clovers. This means lime, and avail-
able phosphoric acid, potash and a
small amount of ammonia to start
early growth. The fertilizer' should
be applied just as the grass turns'
green in the spring. On rotation pas-'
tures-usually run out meadows from
which the clovers have disappeared -
more ammonia is needed in the fer-
tilizer.

The County Boy's Creed .
I believe that the country which God made is more beautiful
than the city which man made; that lite out of aoors and in
touch with the earth is the natural life of man. I believe that
work is work wherever I find it, but that work with Nature is
more inspiring than work with the most intricate machinery. I
believe that the dignity of labor depends not on what you do, but
on how you do it; that opportunity comes" to a boy on the farm
as often as to a boy in the city; that life is larger and freer and
happier on the farm than in town; that my success depends not
upon location, but upon myself -not upon my dreams, but upon
what I actually do -not upon luck, but upon pluck. I believe in
working when you work, and in playing when you play, and in
giving and demanding a square deal in every act of life,

Promotion in the Kingdom, St. Matt.
20: 17-28. Golden Text -
St: Matt. 20: 28.
Time and Place -Shortly before the
Passover of A.D. 29; not far from
Jericho.
Connecting Links -The last lesson
belongs- to the Perean ministry of
Jesus, which began in December, A.D.
28 and continued until two or three
weeks before the Passover,. A.D. 29.
Luke gives the fullest account of this
period (see Luke 9: 51, to 19: 28).
From Perea Jesus was summoned to
Bethany by the death of Lazarus,
John 11: 15, After the raising of
Lazarus (John, ch. 11), Jesus went
into retirement; John 11: 54. When
the time of the Passover approached,
with His disciples," He joined: the pil-
grims going -up to Jerusalem in: car' a
vans, at some point before they r c
ed Jericho after crossing the Jordan.
L A Solemn Prediction, 17-19.
V. 17. Jesus goingup to Jerusalem;
along with the Passover pilgrims (see
Connecting Links). Mark says: "Jesus
was going before them (that is, the
twelve, perhaps wrapped in thought
about the great events which were.
just at hand); and they were amazed,
and they that .followedwere afraid"
(see Mark 10: '32, Rev. Ver.). There
was something in the Lord's manner,
as He walked in front of them, which
inspired these feelings.Took the
twelve disciples apart; because of the
accompanying multitudes (compare'
ch_ 19:2 ).
Vs. 18, 19. Behold; introducing a
most important stateineiit. We go up
to Jerusalem; not merely to the Pass-
over, but to the Cross which the Pass-
over foreshadowed. The Son of man;
a title which "binds Jesus to human-
ity, yet singles him out from other
men" .(Mackintosh) as . destined to
transcendent glory and dominion. Be-
trayed; by the false disciple Judas.
Chief priests .. scribes; the Jewish
Sanhedrin. Gentiles: the Roman auth-
orities. Mock . scourge .. crucify.
These details are not mentioned in
earlier predictions of the Passion
(compare chs. 16: 21; 17: 12, 22). The
announcement 'in the lesson is com-
monly called the 'third, but, according
to Plummer, it is the fourth.
IL An Ambitious Request, 20-24.
Vs. 20n21. The mother of Zebedee's
children; the apostles James and John.
Her name was Salome, and she was
the sister of Jesus' mother (compare
ch. 27: 56 with Mark 15: 40 and John
19: 25). With her sons. In Mark 10:
35 it is the sons who snake the request.
Worshipping; prostrating herself at
his feet. A certain thing; "avague
request as if she were afraid to men-
tion it. Right hand, and .. left;
places of honor. The thought of ch.
19: 28 had excited -the ambition of the
disoiples, while the prediction of the
Master's suffering and death had pass-
ed over their heads. They had not
considered that the Messiah "must
suffer in order to reign" and that
"those who desired to reign with Him
must be ready to suffer with Him"
(Plummier).
Vs. 22, 23. Ye know not. Jesus
speaks to James and John. They did
not know that to sit beside Jesus on
the throne they would have to pass
through sufferings like His (compare
2 Tim. 2: 12). Drink of the cup, etc.;
share the destiny that is in store for
Me. Baptized with the baptism. The
sufferings of Jesus are pictured as an
overwhelming, flood, We are able.
There was =core devotion to the
Master in this reply, but, at the same
time, it was full of ignorance. Ye
s',hall. This prediction was fulfilled, in
the ease of James, when he was put
to death by Herod Agrippa (Acts 12:
2), and, in the case of John, when he
was imprisoned .(Acts 4: 8; 5: 19),
beam (v. 40) and sent into exile,
Rev. 1: 9. Not mine to, give. The
assignment of_ places of honor in the
kingdom is not in the hands of Jesus,
but in those of the Father, !lath
been prepared (Rev. Ver.). Promo-
tion in the kingdom is hi God's hands,
and it is granted, not as a persona
favor, but on the ground of fetness and
service.
V. 24. Tenn .. indignation. "They
showed by their indignation that they
were actuated by the same ambitious
severely." Emulation and jealousy
were still rife amongst the apostles.
III. A Great Principle, 25-28.
V. 25. Jesus called them. They were
disputing at a distance from Him.
Princes of the Gentiles. It may be
that "Gentiles" are mentioned in order
to. make the contrast between true
disciples and other organizations as
great as possible. Exercise dominion
over them; °°'lord it over' in a bad
sense, ruthlessly crushing the will and
welfare of others to further their own
interests."' They that are great; the
underlings of emperors and kings. Ex-
ercise dominion. The tyranny of the
subordinates is even worse than that
of their superiors.
Vs. 26-28. Nets. , so among you.
The idea of Jesus' disciples is different
from that of worldly kingdoms.
Great . . chief your servant.
"There is a right kind of emulation
in the kingdom, namely, as to who
can be of more service to others.
There can be :..;noble rivalry as to who
can most completely devote himself
for the benefit of all" (Plummer). The
Son of man. '.See on v. 18. He pre-
sents His own life es an example for
all -His followers. • Came; of his own
free will. Not to be ministered unto,
but to minister. sMough He was
unique amongst men, He came not to
profit by their 'service, but to render
service to them. Give His life a ran-
som; "the price paid to set men free
from the soul-destroying slavery from
which they cannot deliver themselves,
and that is clearly sin" (Anderson).
For many. "Many" does not mean "not
all," but "the multitude of men."
Application.
The first lesson that lies on the sur-
face of the passage is Jesus' thirst for
sympathy.' Jesus knew what awaited
Him, and He felt that He must un-
burden Himself to His followers.
The second lesson is that the way
of suffering and the cross was the path
of spiritual victory. This is very hard
to believe and yet the War has illus-
trated it in a very large way. Living-
stone wore himself out for the dark
children of Africa, suffering and dying
by inches, and at last they found him
dead on his knees in the heart of the
Dark Continent. It was not an easy
life, but it was one of joy and triumph.
Neither was he alone. He testified
that he was sustained during his long
jungle trips and residence amongst
savage tribesmen, by the promise of
Christ: "Lo, I am with you alway."
The third lesson is drawn from a
mother's ambition for her children, -
what it was, and what it should have
been.
How vividly Jesus presents the true
ideal after which these disciples
should strive. To theeselfish request
for outward honors He replied almost
curtly: "Ye know not What ye aslc."
And this is His reply to the selfish am-
bitions of many fathers and mothers
to -day. Can we doubt that Christ is
calling many young Canadians to -day
to the great task of spiritual leader-
ship and service of their fellows?
The fourth lesson is that those who
would lead the world religiously must
have the spirit of Jesus. He sought
not the homage :and plaudits of men,
but their welfare and salvation. The
salve note should be dominant in the
ministry and in the lives• of :all who
profess to follow the Master.
No person is fit to handle a bull
unless he appreciates that the bull is
dangerous and likely to turn upon his

For the; proper feeding of the child
the parent must have some knowledge
of food and food value. It is not
enough that an abundance of good,
we'llecooked food is set before the fam-
ily. It is necessary to know how much
is actually taken by t'he child who
is under normal weight.
The most satisfactory method that
has been worked out for measuring
food takes as a standard 100 calories,
about the amount of food value in an
ordinary serving. Far instance, it
has been found that there are about
100 calories in a slice of bread or, a
pat of butter. There is the same value
in the lean meat of a lamb •chop, a
slice of bacon, five ounces of milk, a
good-sized potato, apple, or orange.
This method gives a basis for com-
parison and helps to fix food values in
the memory. The knowledge of a
comparatively small ntnnber of items
is sufficient to cover the needs of the
average
child. Enough h informatioii
can be acquired in a short study of the
table on this page to enable you to
raise or lower year child's diet 500
or 600 calories daily, according to his
needs, in much the same way that you
would adjust the feeding of the farm
animals. This method of measured
feeding will also suggest a more econ-
omical selection of foods by calling
attention to the relatively high caloric provision of nature to prevent over-
