In such case.s it is first necessary to determine: whether or not the alma -mai flavor ori odor is -present when the milk leaves the adder of the cow or develops later. Iff any particular --cow is giving milk which is tainted it is not due to bee- teria, but to other eauses. If the milk fram any number el' cows shows the taint the feed or some- thing which the cattle have eaten in the pasture -is to blame. Carrots, turnips, wild_ onions, ragweeds, cab- bages, off-flavared grain feeds and • ether strongly flavored sehetances will causettainted-ntilk. Certain foodstuffs fer cows, not ordinarily considered likely to produce bad -tasting milk, will at tiMeS do sa. Where the bad flavor seems due to feed and there is nothing in the ration subject to suspicion, •a change in feed is yet tiesirahle, as the bad flavor may disappear as a result Cows that are kePil, in the pasture will keep reasenably clean,- however,1 if the pasture is so situated that the cows have access to muddy pools or stagnant ponds they will often stand -,inetheswater -up to their knees, fight- ing flies and plastering themselves with mud. This mud dries quickly and readily.falls into' the milk pail. It is one of the most objectionable forma of dirt thecause it very quickly finds its way through the strainers and set- tles at the bottom of the cans and battles. It is also loaded with danger- ous bacterial life which have a deleter- ious effect upon the milk and its pro- ducts. Cows that are plastered with this kind of mud should be thoroughly cleaned before they are milked. One of the most prolific causes of trouble during the summer months is that of old., sour strainer cloths which are rinsed, in juke -warm water and hung up to dry. These cloths should be put in boiling water and thoroughly -cleansed before being used for another milking. Ordinary wire strainers are worse than none at all. They are very difficult to keep clean and are almost worthles's for removing fine dirt and dust. There aro certain fundamental prin- ciples in eleaning dairy utensils that cannot be ignared. Milk should never be allowed to dry and become sour. It is imposenate to clean the utensils properly after they have been allowed to become d-ry and sour. If it is possible to clean them at one, fill them with water, and they may be easily cleaned. later. Rinse svith luke- warm water before scalding. Then wash with hot water with the aid -of eome 'cleaning material; if possible expose them to steam a few minute's and place them in a place where they are exposed to the light and sunshine until the next milking. The best pre- parations to use in cleaning dairy utensils are the alkalies and carbon- ates, like soda, sal soda and lye, be- cause they have the power to dissolve the coagulated albumen. Sal sada is one of the cheapest and most effective materials, as it is neither poisonous or corrosive. Impure water used in washing dairy utensils frequently introduces danger- ous bacteria that cause ropiness in the milk. In some instances impure water used in ,washing the pails and earls has been traced. as the source of dis- ease epidemics. As great care should be taken in obtaining pure water for washing the pails and cans as in providing a supply of 1311 e the cows to drink. The Wheel Hoe. The wheel- hoe is very useful to both the gardener and the farmer. Its use is possible in many places. With labor shortage the investment of from $$ to $5 in such r tool pays big inter- est. I have been using one of these tools for more than twelve ye.aes. The first year we had one on the farm I did not know what to do with it. It was un- handy, and I thought that ,tt was easier to use a small garden hoe and four -tined hook for the garden work. We had a one-fourth acre of seed on- ions, and it -';fias quite a job to keep the weeds out and the soil loosened. New I can eare for five acres with a wheel hoe under ordinary conditions, and have a lot of time to do other work. In using your wheel hoe it pays to leak out for the dirt on the wheels. A rim of dirt a half inch thick will throw the blades out of balance enough to spoil its work. This will happen if the soil is •a little wet or if there is a. heavy dew. Take a dull knife or a stick and keep this wheel surface clean and your hoe will work far ater foe Ibetter. When you buy extra blades you can save by filing the rivets off and using; [ the old casting and replacing thel blades only. Then it is economy to I get a blade about an inch Lenges than you wish, and cut the end off a half inch. Thus a seven-inch blade will cut 61/0 inches and be thicker all the way up. If it stieks out a little too far it will prevent any strips of weeds being left between the rows. Let me say here that I am talking of a double wheel hoe—that is, one that straddles the row of vegetables instead of going in between. I like this kind because it does not matter if the rows are not exactly parallel, or if one row runs further than an- other. Anyway, it is not possible to get as close to a TOW with a single wheel hoe as it is with a double one. On part ef the blade of a wheel hoe there is an upright that cuts the soil arid weeds next to the row. If this is left sharp is good many vegetables are ruined by cutting the edges or sides. File this blunt and save this loss. An onion, for instance, will be spoiled if the outer layers of skin are injured. 1 When I file or sharpen my hoe I grind down the lower side—as it sets on the ground—and then smooth it down on the opposite side. I think a better edge c,an be put o11 this way, and it lasts longer. I take the blades off sometimes, and put them an the grindstone or emery wheel. After you use -a wheel hoe for a few years the spindle beeomes worn, and this prevents close working around vegetables, because the wheels do not carry the reet of the hoe where you want it to go. I bush them when they are worn by usifig a layer of thin sheet iron OT tin. It lasts a season, and makes the hoe work almost as well as new-. A washer on the end of the axle will help too. One oan buy new axles for less than a dollar, but the other way is about as good, and far cheaper. For the ordinary sandy soil the oee drawback to a,. wheel hoe is that the soil is 'cut off in a thin layer on top and then dropped back again, and the weeds go right along with. their growth. We have got around this by making rakes to go on behind the hoes. A block of wood about five inches long and an inch and a 'half square had five or six inch holes bared through it, and No. 8 wire cut in pieces about seven inches long is put through the holes and fastened secure- ly with a sta,ple. This is boltecl in one of the slots to the rear of the blade, and by bending the wires a little they will break up this slice of -sea and so leave a fine mulch and also kill the weeds. This beats the rakes furnished with some hoes, be- cause they Oall be easily adjusted by bending the wires. I like to have some sort of a box _______..--.. --e•--_ Ship your lot to -ourselves and receive immediate cash payment, and the highest market price. We will treat you right.

If this `is just 'pushed- aside when the work is done, then the same stuff has to be pushed around again the next time. The stones will cause the hoe to jump out of the ground when a wheel hits them, and they are no good anyway. Put them in. the box as you come to them, and just tip the hoe over at the end of the row and they're emptied. When yonm buy a wheel hoe there may be a lot of attachments for it that 1.00k good. I have a 'small set of disks that I have used. Two small plows came with if, and the rakes that I mentioned above. There are four or six small cultivator teeth that I find handy, and like them very much for digging up soil that is bad- ly packed. The hoes just take the surface, and sometimes deeper work- ing seems the proper treatment. The wheel hoe should have an -adjustable handle. In some work you want the handle higher, and in some lower. And you may have a boy who will want to run the hoe, and he will be shorter and so want lower handles. With the coming of -warm weather it will be necessary to have shade for the chickens. Even ,more susceptible to the heat of the sun are ducklings. On commercial plants Iow shelters covered with boards or burlap are provided, if there are no trees or shrubs_to -gieeemetection. Some ,such plan may he followed on a small place, but often it is quite possible and more satisfactory to furnish na- tural shade, which can be done by growing artichokes, sunflowers, or something of that ' kind.' The arti- chokes can be allowed to grow right in the hen yard if protected until they get well started, for the hens will not eat the heaves. Of course, the Jerusa- lem -artichoke is meant, the so-called French artichoke being an 'entirely different plant. Jerusalem artichokes provide good shade when planted rather closely, and once started, will come up year after year. In fact, there is some danger that they will multiply and. spread so fast as to become a nui- - - sauce. At least some shouldbe dug oat each, season.

The simplest way to deal with these pests is to use carbolineum or some sunh thick mixture on the under part of the perches and to spray the walls with a prepared lice paint, whieh can be put on easily with a ,common spray -pump.

They had a story to tell to tho nations, and a song to sing which all the world should hear.

So also Jesus would have flip els- .. chiles tell the story of His redeeming and saving work.

Isa. 2: 1-10. There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse. Isaiah was expecting the birth ef a child of the royal line of David, who would be the Saviour of His „people and who would be a great and just and glorious king. First to the weak, capricious, and unprincipled Ahaz,,and afterward to the well-meaning but weak Heze- kifah he precliCted the corning of this king, and he seems to have expected that He would come soon, As time went on he projeeted His coming farther into the future, and dwelt upon His character and His reign with high anticipation and confident hope offsgreat things. Micah (5: 2-6) a younger contem- porary of Isaiah, repeated- the same prediction. Jeremiah (23: 5-6) took It up and made of ito. message of com- fort for those of his time who suffered at the hands of their enemies defeat, humiliation, and exile. Ezekiel, among the first of the exiles, saw Him in a brighter future as a second David, and as the good shepherd of His /people (34: 23). Others, who followed, pre- served and handed down this great hope to late.r generations, and seven hundred years after Isaiah, Jesus of Nazareth gave it a new meaning, a new direction, and a fulfilment in His Kingdom of the Spirit. - In Isaiah's expectation the coming, King is to be richly endowed with the spirit of the Lord, with such -wisdom and undnrstanding, such counsel and might, such knowledge and reverent piety, as only God Himself can impart. By these high qualities -and gifts He will be prepated for His kingly office, to rule wisely and well. In verse 3 rdad as in Rev. Vers.): His delight shall be in the fear of the esso n Acts I: 6-9.

Even to the last the disciples of Jesus expected Him to establish again the kingdom of David and to -be a real king with court and army and royal pawerso Jesus made no attempt to set up such a kingdom, yet He did sneak of a kingdom of God, and He did as- sert high authority. 'His kingdom was to be ol a new age and of a new order. It was to make real and su- preme the wila of God in the lives of men. It -was to be as men came slowly to understand, a mightier pow- er than that of any earthly kingdom or „empire—a kingdom of the S'eirit. Jesus did not answer FIis disciples' question by a direct negative. He did not desire to destroy their national hope of freedom and gneatn,e'ss. But He did place before them two great immediate experiences and duties—the first, the receiving of power through the gift of the Spirit of GO, and the second, bearing witness to Him in the world. Thus, and thus only would His king- dom be established in the world—by the work of His Spirit ,in the hearts of men, and by witness -bearing. And thus would be fulfilled the old pro- phetic 'vision of justice. peace, and the knowledge of God filling the whole world. Application.
