Farm foiks are mt.-tally so busy ate thiss season of the year that the plant- ing of seed to bring late fall garden' crops is neglected. Dut, despite the', disturbance to other work, we are of , the opinion that it will pay sufficient, dividends in providing a better supply; of green stuff for the table and for, replenishing the larder_ for winter. Investigators are piling up convinc- ing evidenee of the value to the hu-: men body of including green stuff' iiegularly in the diet. Through im- proved transportation and. the exten- sion of greenhouse farming, city peo- ple are now provided with this type of food the year round. Health condi- tions in the cities show that the most favorable reisults have followed the change. Tile farmer can improve his oppor- tunityealong this line. He may not attain to the ideal food supply condi- tions of the cities, but he can do much to extend the supply of fresh garden stuff from the few week g that now generally prevail, to as many months. One step hi this direction is the adding' of a fall garden. The list of plants that might be in- cluded in such a garden are winter radisles, peas, carrots, beets, early cabbage, turnips, rutabagas, lettuce, Swiss chard and spinach. It goes with- out saying that the best results will follow the planting of these seeds on soil that is abundantly supplied with all necessary available plant food. • The-Mosak Disease of -- Tomatoes. Mosaic is one of -the most prevalent and serious diseases of tomatoes in the field as well as irr the greenhouse. According to a new bulletin on to- mato diseases, prepared by thee Do- ' minion Botanist and, issued by the Dept. of Agriculture at Ottawa, mo- saic causes a great reduction in crop returns, the affected plants often giv- ing only..quarter or half of a normal yield. The disease appears as a mot- tling of dark and light green areas on the leaves, the dark areas sometimes giving the leaf a rough, puckered ap- pearance. It is highly infectious and spreads with great rapidity, but it is not transmitted through the seed and does not persist in the soil or litter. Certain weeds, such as bittersweet, horse nettle and ground cherry, harbor inasaic over winter and ehould be de- stroyed where tomatoes are to be planted. When the disease is present greenhouses 'should be fumigated with hydrocyanic gas, and no affected plants transplanted. Insects, such as plant 1 ice, are a great factor in spreading mosaic and should be con- trolled by spraying with Bordeaux 4: 6:40, to which nicotine sulphate and arsenate of lead have .been 'added, THE BACKACHES OF WOMEN CAUSE GREAT SUFFERING • Women are the greatest sufferers froni weak, lame and aching backs ovvieg to tho continual stooping, bend- ing and lifting so necessary to per- form Iheirleusehold duties, and these beckaches ate caused, without a douber by some derangement of the kidneys, for if there were not some weakness there the back would be strong and well. 401 g/I• positive relief and comfort to all weak, backethisig, suffering *omen, and make their houtehold duties.a pleasure itistoad of a burden.

GIVING MEDICINE TO A COW BY E, Ta, Administering medicine to cattle is as easy as "rolling ot a leg," provided you know now iii fact, that is but all there is to anything, Ie bloat; for instan,:e, fast work is required, but valuable, time is usually wasted find ing a suitable bottle. Then, members of the family fell over each other try- ing co find the right medicine. And finally, to gap the climax,and add to the already general excitement, giving the dope to the critter amounts to almost a riot, How much easier to be prepared. If you have one or- more cows, why not have 'a talk with your veterinarien e.nd let him explain a fevr important details that later may mean the sav- ing of a valuable cow? Each cm - triunity has its own particular prob- 'ems and diseases. The number and variety of them depend on the kind of food preduced. In rny Socality, beans are exteasive- ly raised to the south of me, and bean straw causes a great deal of trouble. To the north, peas are a common crop, so that pea hay and straw are a fre- quent source of grief. The treatment S. LiSSON 'RAKER, August, 9, Beginning the Second Mis- sionary Two, Act15: 36 to 16: Golden Text—Hs shall have domini- on also from oca to eea and from the river unto the ends of the earth.— Ps, 72: 8. is radigally„ different for these two kinds of forage, and what will help an animal suffering with bean straw impaction may be useless to a victim of too much pea straw, particularly when the latter hag a slight mold mix - Then again, it may be cornstalks, green or ripe; alfalfa, clover and tim- othy; lawn cuttings, different kinds of silage, sugar beet pulp, slightly spoiled 'carrots, apples or potatoes, and any other kind of feed. For this reason, the same kind of medicine that may be successful in one locality may be worthless in an- other; in fact, it takes a skilled vet- erinarian several years getting on to the particular kind of ailments COM- TriOn to his practice, and that is why we emphasize this particular point. The promiscuous use of medicine fon different maladies so often ends ih disaster, and expert assistance is call- ed in only when the patient is already beyond saving. Just is you insure your property against fire, protect your animals by being prepared for the possible em- ergency. Have your veterinarian pre- pare for you several bottles of medi- cine indicated in the common diseases and accidents frequent in. your neigh- borhood. Getting ready for bloat, acute indigestion, barbed-wire cuts, inflamed udders and lung fever not only may save animal life, but it re- duces veterinary biils.: Now, as to the actual administration of the medicine itself to the cow, re- member the nose is the vulnerable part of cattle. Just as the fieeceet bull can be made tractable with a ring in_its nose, so ancow, stubborn and full of pain, can be controlled by grasping the nostrils in this fashion. Stand on the right side of the cow and slip the.left arm around the head. Stand back slightly, so that her head vvill not swing around and hit yours. Grasp the nostrils with the thumb and first two or three fingers of the left hand, and press the parts as tightly as you Can, d wiib. it. This acts much like a twitch doee on a horse. liext, bring the head around toward you and raise the no slightly above the level, so that liqaide wIU run back into the guIlet. The main thing to remember here is not to raise the head too high, or the animal, will begin to struggle, New, take your bottle ef medicine with your right hand and insert the neck of the bottle in the side of mouth next to you just back of the lower froat teeth. Slip the bottle over the base a the tongue' and carefully give about half the •contents, allowing her to swallow. Then give the balance, And after giving her a reasonable time to gulp this down, release the head and jump away. quickly. The writer prefers a pint bottle for drenching cattle as it is more easily handled than a larger one. Have the medicine well diluted with water, raw linseed ell, beaten eggs, milk or gruel. Shake the bottle well before giving and allow plenty of time tp "wailer" of some may go down the wrong way, kite the lungs and cause a fatal pneu- monia.., Here are a few don'ts: Don't drench a cow when -she is ly- ing down and is unable to get-up. Don't grasp the tongue, as swallow- ing is then impossible. Don't drench through the nostrils. Don't tie the head up with a rope or chain—you will have a fight on your hands and most of the medicine on your clothes. Don't pour down large quantities of drugs without being reasonably sure they are indicated. Often they will do more harm than good. Don't fail to be peeps:reel for emer- gencies; have your bottles of medicine ready for immediate use, so teat when one of the family is calling nip your veterinarian, you can be rendering first aid, which, in cattle, often means saving a life. * FIRST AID FOR BLOAT. Speaking of -bloat in cattle, a suc- cessful dairyman recently said he had a remedy that rarely, if ever, failed. This is what he said:. "Mix a small package of baking soda, such as can be obtained at any grocery store, in a large glass of water and drench the cow with it as soon as possible, giving the eetire quantity in one dose. A bottle with a narrow neck is best for drenching. After drenching the cow, make a straw bit of rye straw about as thick as a man's wrist, smear it with some coalttar 'disinfectant or animal dip and place it in the cow's mouth, tying it back so the animal. cannot get rid of it. • "The baking soda acting in the stomach of the COW helps release' the gas and the straw bit smeared with tar makes the cow work her is:Ws, which is usually followed by belch - and relief from the stomach. "It is, of course, ,always a good plan to send for a competent veterin- arian, but. while waiting it is well to try the remedy I have used so often with eatisfactory ,results. It cannot possibly do any harni and quite often will save the,animal." After handling diseased plants the hands should be thoroughly washed before heavy plants. are touched.. . Separate the Sexes. The eommonepractice of allowing the purets and cockerels to grow up together is a detrimental procedure. It is a fact that both pullets and cock- erels grow better when ranged by themselves. It should be the practice of every poultry operator to separate the sexes .as soon as they can be read- ily determined. . The general separation should some at the time the cockerels are ready to ship for broilers, which is usually at lroni eight to ten weeks of age. This is true with the light Mediterranean egg breeds, such ae the Leghorne. With such breeds of Wyandottes, Orpingtons, and so forth, it is much' harder to separate the sexes than It is with the Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds. In.- the latter instance the males will show much lighter tin color and show much more masculine, heads. If, iri such breeds as Wyan- dottes, there is a question of the sex of individual birds at from ten to twelve weeks, they should be classified as pullets, and later marketed_. If cockerels. With Leghorns the early pronounc- ed development of the comb and- the rapid growth of the long feathers of the male will make it easy to distin- guish the cockerels at a very early age. The objection ta growing the chicks together, first a all, is that they are grown for different purfioses. They require slightly different ratiotis for maximum results. In the case of pul- lets, we want to get rapid growth and moderately early maturity with good size 'to induce a maisimuirs production of good-sized eggs. With the cockerels, we are not after snch a rapid growth and we are not after such a rapid sexual maturity, but we do want a good body develop - meet, heavy, well-balericed frame and, birds whith at ten motiths of age will be weil fleshed and in good, vigorous healthy condition. ' Separating the sexes will also re, neve the eongestion in tlio average colony hie, giving the cockerels aid pullets alike more room at night, and also relieving the intensive conditions of rearing range, The Value of Table Salt - Table salt.is a valuable addition to the growing chick's ration because it not only pgovides mineral 'elements needed in the building of tissue, but it has a very definite property in, in- sreasing palatability arid digestibility of the foods fed. Table salt can well he mixed in the growing ration to the extent of 1 per cent. of the dry mash. Care should be used to see that the salt is finely pulverized and mixed thoroughly withthe ration because an excess of salt has a poisonous effect upon the birds. - essee-- Little Jessie Jane having been told to call her chicks by name and they would follow her about, said: "I have earned one chick 'Little Rooster,' only he's a hen and lays an egg every day."

He wished to keep in touch with his converts, and to foster ,and encourage their growth in Chris- tian life. He knew the temptations which beset his converts, their liabil- ity to become discouraged or to grow weary in well -doing, He desired not only to lead them to Christ, but to organize and make them useful in the living society of the Church of God on earth, Consequently, after he had succeeded in bringing about a settle- ment of the vexed question winch had arisen at Antioch, he proposed to Bar - mime that they should revisit the churches which they had founded on their first missionary tour and thus the Siecond Missionary ,Tourney began, Paril was now -to separate from Bar- nabas, and to find other companions. He was alscs--sthough this was as yet unknown to him—to extend his travels far beironci his original plan, and to carry the gospel to Macedonia and Greece. We see him determined, not by preconceived plans or ideas, but by the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit, to whichehe had committed his life. I. A Sus-urVisioN or PORcEs, 36-39. V. 36. St. Paul's desire was to see how the Galatian churches, which he and Barnabas had founded some months before, were progressing. He wished to see if they were maintain- ing their faith and zeal, He recog- nized that it would not do to leave the converts wholly to theraeelves. Vs. 37, 38. But now there develop- ed unex-pectedly a sharp difference of opinion between Paul and-Barnabas. On the first journey they had. labored side by side, but now when Barnabas proposed to take John Mark along With him, Paul objected vigorously on the ground that Mark had not carried out the whole program on the first journey. V. 39. Owing to thie difference of opinion the two chiefs agreed to sep- arate, Barnabas choosing Mark as his associate, and Cyprus as his field of operations. Paul chose the other half of the field, namely, the continental districts of Asia Minor, and resolved to find new assistants. This separation of Paul and Barna- bas was in many ways regrettable. -it shows that the best of men do not always see eye to eye even in the holiest of all concerns. But to the honor of both lee it remembered that Paul never ceased to speak of Bar- nabas in the highest terms: see 1.Cor. 9:6. Moreover at a later period we find Mark again with Paul. This shows either that Paiiisileend later reason to alter his opinion or that Mark had given a better proof of himself. The early disagreement was outlived, and all parties were reconciled in a truly Christian way. . IL sr. PAUL FINDS NEW HELPEns5 15:40-16:5. V. 40. St. Paul's'. first choice as assistant and contanion is Silas, mentioned in Chap. 15:22, 27, as one of the representatives whom the apostles and elders at Jerusalem sent down with Paul and Barnabas to An- tioch. According to Chap. 15:32, he was a prophet vshese exhortations at Antioch had foend great acceptance. V. 41. Paul, being once more com- mended to the grace of God for his labors abroad, takes the overland route to Asia Minor by way of the, Syrian and Cilician passes. As he goes, he confirms the various Chris- tian communities lying along the I route. Ch. 16: 1-2. At Lystra. Paul finds] his second future assomate in the per- son' of a young Christian named Tim- othy, whom probably he had brought to Christ on his previous „visit, Acts 14:8-20. Timothy was the son of a Jewish mother who had become a be- liever in Christ; his father was a Greek. paul's reason for choosing Timothy is to be found in the high reputation which this young Christian had won for himself. In Lystre end in the neighboring' church at Iconium. V. 3. Timothy was only half Jewish, since his father was a Greek. Paul, therefore, wishing to employ him am- ong Jews as well as Gentiles, thought It advipable to complete his Jewish nationalization by the rite of circum- cision. Paul would not allow the Mo- saic ordinances to be required of Gen- tile Christians, But Timothy was not exactly, In that position. Vs. 4, 5.

He also remarks that this sec- ond visit of the apostle greatly en- couraged the faith of the churches and promoted their strength and members. Live Stock Marketmgs m 1824 A vast deal of information is con- tained in the fifth annual report on the .Origin and Quality of Commercial Live Stock Marketed in Canada, re- cently published by the Live Stock Branch at Ottawa and which can be had of the Publications Branch there. An innovation is the inclusion of maps of each province, by which the most prolific sections of production can be identified. It is interesting to hote that the finished heavyweighE steers, and steers of export weight and qual- ity suitable for the British market were turned out in increasing numbers in 1924 and that all the five praiiinces dealt with, namely, Quebec, Onterio, -Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, contributed to this desirable inerease, being thus each instrumental in im- proving Canada's position on a qual- ity basis. ImproVement was observ- able in the quality of the exceptionally heavy marketing of calves. There was a record output of hogs, and, as the report states, there is much satisfac- tion in the fact that the extensis-e movement was net, as is generally the case, accompanied by any deter- ioration In quality. "Fortunately," also says the heport, "under the hag gradin.g policy we are able to give direct shipments to packing plants by grades." A table is given showing the number of each grade shipped to the plants during the year, by whieh it appears that the percentage of selectS shipped by • each province, first to packing plants, and secondly to stock yards, were as follows: Alberta, 2.62 and 3.25; Saskatchewan, 2.94 and 3.26; Manitoba, 8.18 and 4.91; On- tario, 21.58 and 24.41; Quebec, 10.42 an 9.6-2. A MORA L, BOYS BY GEORGE While I was leaning' over a railing of ea- bridge spieling a tiny stissam Which 'ran under a country road, I saw there a pile of the finest silt -- dirt that had 'been washed down by the water in the spneg break-up, It was just the kind of dirt that small boys like tie' make into mud pies and. larger boys like to squeeze bos tween their toes when they go in Swimming. It was cool, clean, rieh brown—almost the color of old-fash- ioned brown sugar. " "There," thought,* "is the very dirt eorne mothers weald like for her flowers, It is just the kind to make petunias, pinks and catidytuft grow,' Then I tented ebout to view the land oft the other side .of the road. And 'up the road, whiatling merrilry, Caine a boy, carrying market beeket on hie arm, as if it were heavy, But he seemed not only able to manage it, Limited, Tosontse, Ont. but happy to-do it. ' GREENAWAY. '"What's in the basket?" 1 asked. I"Nice dirt for mother's fiosvera" he answered. "I've been a mile to get it. We live right there," pointing to a house that stood not over lop yards away. I called him over to the culvert and de him inspect that fine silt pile. "Huh," he geld, "If I'd known that was th' ere I'd not lugged this a mile, That silt is better than the dirt I've brought" He dumped out the dirt and filled his basket with the silt. Like mahy others, he had been so eager te get' something fine far away that he had overlooked the ‚good things of his own home acres. There is a leseon in this for every boy and girl.

Those'have the picnic habit should keep on hand a supply apaPer napkins, wax -paper, aluminum knives, forks and spoons, paper plates, and tin cups, all of which can be pm., chased at the neareet "Five and Ten." Tin cups are advised for hot 13:aver- ages, as they do not heat up like those made of aluminum. A vacuum bottle or thermos jug is neCe for coffee, but the beverage will keep hot in a jar o•r bottle if well wrapped with'numerous thicknesses of paper. If a, fire is per- mitted, take a coffee-pot and place ground coffee and crushed egg -shells In a cheesecloth bag and make the coffee on the spot, Tea should be put in small bags for individual serving; place a bag in each cup, pour in boiling water and remove the tea bag when the, beverage is strong enough. Place ice-cold cream or milk in a small jar (also eold), wrap the jar in cloths wrung out of cold water, then in thick layers of newspaper'. Carry butter the some way. Sliced bacon can be cooked in. a frying -pan. Thinly sliced ham or frankfurter sausages (also called "weinies") can be cooked 1 o wire broiler and placed ia rolls or between sliees of bread. Sandwiches made with thinly sliced dried beef or sliced dCeaini cadui asn. t cheese, then toas'ed, are io When cooking before an open fire, make a shield for the hand by cutting a silit M a piece of pasteboard or box lid and thrust the spoon or fork through it. If a fire is net permitted, other sandwich fillings *ill be needed. While ham and tongue make tasty fillings, they create thirst, so it is well to pro- vide some other fillings also. Cold roast lamb, or roast beef, left -over Hamburg -steak (sliced), or corned beef can be used for the substantial sandwiches. Pickles should be served with them. Roasted peamits, greund in a food -chopper, are often used for a filling when moistened with boiled dressing to which a little cream has been added. Peanut butter is more popular when mixed with chapped dates. No filling is necessary for sandwiches made of buttered slices of raisin or brown bread. Plain bread- and-butter sandwiches are necessary for every picnic. Hard -bailed eggs, chopped and mix- ed with salad dressing; lettuce cu- eumbers, with salad dressing; and softened butter mixed with chopped sweet peppers are other good sand- wich fillings. Deviled and pickled eggs are always welcome. Potato salad eon be carried in an agateware kettle, or placed in par- affined paper drinking cups for indi- vidual serving. Place cups on squares of wax -paper, gather up the corners and twist them together, then set the cups in pasteboard boxes. Cucumbers can be placed in a running stream near the picnic place to be kept cool, then pared, cut lengthwise in quarters or eighths and eaten with salt, as celery is eaten. Small,, ripe, firm to- matoes are also refreshing. Fruit should be provided, if possible. If it is not obtainable, thick apple sauce, packed as you pack the salads will niakezi hit. Pies and layer cakes are likely to become mussy. Apple turnovers, with a piece of cheese, are appetizing, Cakes should be of the cooky variety, or gingerbread or cupcake, baked in gem pane. If the cake box is empty, take along an extra loaf of bread, make toast, butter gerierouily and sprinkle with sugar and einnanion make breed -end -butter sendwiches with grated maple sugar between. Food fora hike luncheon should be concentrated. Bacon, broiled chops or steak, corn bread split open and but- teredeeweet chkeolate and raisins will usually satisfy the hiker's appetite. SOME) Summer Soups. In winter soup hones are quickly snapped up by townspeople because when they are compelled to have a fire all day, they do cooking that re- quires time, and then the &Alp moat is cheap in comparison ' with Other cuts, but in summer you min get soup bones easily and cheaply. For fifteen cents we get one big enough to fur- nish soup and meat both, and the meat is gaed *hen well cooked. Of course, prices differ in varieus The case against soup in summer is that it is so hot and it doesn't StiCk to the ribs when work is hard. In the first complaint, it is not hotter than anything else that has been OT1 the fire, and in the second it wilL stick If it is a thick, nouriehing dish. The garden furnisitos a great variety of fillings for boa broth, and serele any houseWile can make a combination that will taste goo& besides being able te add noodles and macaroni, which are always satisfying.

The best pieces can be eaved for a stew with dumplings and the neck, giblets, wiags, and beck cooked for soup.

Put beans, ham, broth from the ham bone, a head a celery cut fine, or a little celeey seed, a large onion minced fine, and the seen soning, in a big kettle, with more water added, and cook all day or until it is a good thick soup, If liked, a cup of potato sliced fine ean be added. If there is anything better than good bean soup on a varrimer day, it would be hard to find. Bacon pan be used instead of hana but is not so good. Cream, soups require no meat, but they are not so heavy as the meat soups. Cream of 'tomato, pea, aspara- gus, potato, onion, and various other vegetable soups are all good, and eas- ily made. Cook the vegetable in boil- ing salted water ,and drain, except in the case of peas, where it is better to use a little water and save it for the soup. Season highly, slightly thicken the milk that is poured over them just before serving with a little flour rubbed smooth with cold milk, add a piece of butter, and serve with 'Crackers. Minerals for Chicks. The science of feeding growing chicks has developed by leaps and bounds during the last few years. The discovery of vitamins and their rela- tion to poultry feeding, the import- ance of clean yards and plenty of green feed have made the business of growing poultry more eeonornically supeeegursfinulg .the last few years more at- tention has been .centred upon the importance of a new element in the ration for growing chicks—minerals or inorganic material. Minerals sup- ply three district functions in the chick's ration. They go to build bone, which is the framework of the.feture pullet or cockerel. A good skeleton is one-half the battle, because on it must be attached the ,meat and in it must be carried the organs of repro- duction, which produce the market- able product, the egg. Minerals also have been found by scientific tests to aid materially in the digestion of other foods. Lastly, min- erale have been found to exercise a very definite relation in building up a natural resistance and immunity against disease, This is probably accomplished by keeping the birchi in perfect physical condition. What minerals to feed and how to feed them becomes the problem of the feeder ef growing chickens during, the summer, so that the pullets ma$ be in the pink of condition as to size and vigor for the heavy winter lay. Bone Meal a Builder. Bon4s meal is generally recognized as one of the most efficient sources of rnineral element in the ration for growing chicks; One should be care- ful to get a demn feeding bone which, has been earefully rendered. Steemed bone heal is a superler product for this. purpose. Bone contains a lot of lime and phosphorous, two very essential ele- ments in inaking up thi skeleton of the growing chick. Bone can well be used in the growing chick's ration to the extent of from 3 to 6 per cent a the mash fed. Considerable bone is usually present in meat scrap but not sufficient to meet the needs of the youngsters. The Torture of ECZEMA or SALT RHEUM Eczema, or' Salt Rhottra, as, it le cora:nosily called, is one of the most agonizing of all skin diseases.
