I have often wondered why so many houses are left bare and sliadeless in the country when there are trees free • for the digging right at hand.. Wheu William and I started with a newly purchased farm and a new house it was "bare as a bone." The original house on the place had burn- ed, destroying all the trees planted around it. ' We had no money do spare for any "tree agent" in those days. But one Night when we Were looking wistfully through a nursery catalogue Will sud- denly exclaimed: "Why, Nell, half the • trees they show in these beautiful Rictures are just the kinds that grow • alt around here—only they give 'em Latin. names! Here's oak and beech and maple and white pine and dog- • wood, and even. white bireh—they call it Betula cabal We're going to have plenty of trees around this house." That spring, when the ground wa:s ". thawed enough so we could plant, we got about a aezen trees from .t.-4 woods and set theindout. Three of the biggest died but the otherare still alive, fine 'specimens now that our visitors often comment upon. We planted a few more in the fall, after the leaves were off, and they did equally well.—Mrs. N. E. S. • The Joyous Fern.

A Wrhsa7t are you redoing) Pig's " worn I have seen pig after pig that guz- zled And gorged good.feed every day for months grow thinner and thianer and at length go down paralyzed. When opened after death the valimal proved to be boarding multitudes of long, wiggling round -worms called asoaris. These roundworms had liter- ally robbed their hosts of the major part ,of the nutriment they received from their long-suffering and disgust- ed owner. When I ran the smell intestines of those ,pigs through my fingers they felt like big, hard, hemp rope. Their walls were immensely thickened and internally were inflamed. In that state the linin.g mucous membranes simply could not perform their normal func- tion of food nutrient absorption, and so those thief infested pigs &mitered, starved, gave up the battle and suc- cumbed. The most successful mine feeder' of to -day have found by experience that they cannot afford to boiled a singlo intestital worm in their young pigs, and some of them have even thrown away the "pilling gun" with which they had been wont to shoot drug -filled capsules down the suffering pigs' gullets. Thousands of pigs were killed by careless use of the pill gun. Thede is a little pocket or sac at the entrance to the gullet and if it is badly lacer- ated by the nozzle of the gun, or if by mistake the capsule with its irritating charge of .drugs is deposited here, in- curable gaugrene results. The best hog farmers find to that it is possible absolutely to prevent worms in pigs by prevention methods rather than expulsion or destruction by drugs. Here is the way in which this may be accomplished, and it is a plan I earnestly recommend for adop- tion on. every farm -where hogs are raised: Just as a crop of corn can only be obtained by the planting of corn seed, so a crop of worms can only grew from worm seed (eggs) deposited by mature worms in the intestines of swine and voided by them to contamin- ate feed and water consumed by new litters of 'pigs, No seed, no crop. No worm eggs in feed or water, no worms In pigs. One has to start at the source of worm infestation, at the sow that tato bring pigs into the world. Most adult swine harbor worms, yet show little sign of injury. The feces of the sow then will be likely to contain worm eggs, and those eggs therefore may be taken in by the pig when it nurses for the first timefrom teats that have been contaminated by filth. ICnowing this, the sow at farrowing time- is placed in a pa:at:that has been scrub- bed perfectly mean with a strong solu- tion of concentrated lye and boiling LEXANDEP. water and supplied with clean -eked - ding. Before this the sow has beers acrubbed svith soap and warm water to free her of filth and dirt which may contain worm eggs or germs, such as those Willa, cause canker -sore mouth or infection of the nairel. As soon as the pigs are delivened and before they are allowed to nurse, the vagina of the sow Is syringed out with blood -worm water colored light pink with permanganate of potaeln and her hind parts and udder are clowned with the same solution. On farms where canker disease (etoma- -titis) has been prevalent it is also well to souse the head of each pig over and over again in warm, water centaining, one ounce of permanganate of potash per gallon. When the pigs are nursing well and are strong an their feet, the sow and litter are loaded into a specially clean- ed wagon box and hauled &redly to a specially cleansed, disinfected and whitewashed colona houee on grass not used by swine since it was seeded.„ Then, for at least four months, the pigs are kept absolutely away from all houses, yards,. pastures, wallowing places or other watering places used by adult swine. During this time they, graze on a succession of green crops, preferably legumes, and in addi- tion to the sow's milk are given access to mixed ground grains and meals, in- cluding linseed meal or tankage. They are also fed skim milk as soon as they care to take it. • • This Method of handling keeps.them free from worm infestation and so 'well fed and healthy that they will grow large, strong and resistant against worms should they later be- come infested when taken to the feed- ing lots and lenses. Worms do not, as a -rule, serlouely affect pigs 'that have been developed in that way. Should worm invasion occur, however, the parasites may be expelled by fasting the pig for twenty- four hours and then giving it thirty drops of oil of chenopodium and one- half an ounce of castor oil for each fifty pounds of body weight. Give them this in a dose syringe or from a -aottle. The treatment may be re- peated two weeks later, if necessary. This oil of chenopodium and castor oil treatment can be given .witheut causing fatalities. It is not only an effective way to rid pigs of round- worms but also expels lungworms and such adult kidney worms that happen to be free t in the intestines, net to mention the deadly thorn -headed worm which attaehes to the intestinal lining, sucking blood and making holes in the walla' of the intestines that so often make thein useless for sausao casings. Pigs that escape roundworms also escape "thumps" and pneumonia which, it has beee found, are caused early in life by embryo asearis being carried from the intestines into the lun,gs by the bloodstream. THE FIRST BIRTHDAY CANDLES It was Tillya birthday, and her mother had promised that she might have a birthday party and a birthday cake with "little lights all over This year Tilly was to have seven little lights on her cake, and her mother had promised to tell her Why little people. have candles on their birthday cakes. So when Tilly's mother brought in the birthday cake, all lighted up with seven little candles, she gathered Tilly and her little guests around her and told them a story something like and : "Once upon a time, when all the fields were woods, there was. a little girl named Phoebe. She lived with her father and mother ' in a little house. Wherever she went, she had to go through the woods. But Phoebe was -not afraid. One day Phoebe's mother sent her to her grandmother's house with a note. `Follow the path and come right straight home,' said Phoebe's mother. "Phoebe obeyed, but on the way home she gee* tired and sat -down to rest. Right then the. Sandman hap- pened by, and le a wink Phoebe was asleep. The Sandman kept her locked in Dreamland so long that when she awoke it was dark. • `Oh, oh, oh!" cried Phoebe, 'Now I can't find the way home.' .. "trollow the light and you will find the way,' said a little Wood Fairy, who d been woveratching her while "'What light?' asked Phoebe. 1 "When she loeked again, the Fairy wes gone. But in a minute a light glowed out among the trees. Phoebe ran to it A little Candle was burning in an acornseup.. As she picked item, she spied another light farther on aheadof. her. She ran to it. Here she found another little candle burn- ing in an acorn cup. And so Phoebe' fo.lowed the candles that the Wood Fairy lighted for her, and she was raon home, carrying with her Seven little candles in acorn cups. "Phoebe's rilother was very glad to see her little girl, for she was worried. Phoebe had always been home before dark, "Where did you get the candies?' asked Phoebe's mother. "Then Phoebe told her mother how the Eta Wood Fairy had lighted them se that she might find the way home after thci sun went to bed. "Phoebe's mother was very happy. tWo shall have the cand:es of your birthday cake to -morrow, Theio are just seven of them—ono for evesy year you are sad. You see, the kind Wood Fairy knew just how old. you are,' "And ever sines that day, children have wanted little candles on their birthday ctikes," said Tilly's mother, as she served each one of Tilly's little guests with a big piece .of birthday cake. We Didn't Need to Borrow After All. Husband has been to the bank to see about another loan to carry on his business. His name was good at the bank, and of course as we were busi- ness partners, I was to sign the nate. I,had been thinking things over and I asked Henry to wait a week before getting the leen. 1 took stock of a numbee of unnecessary possessions we owned which were not paying Interest even on the money invested in therm A small unused building brought $125, machinery which had once been necessary on the farm, but in the pres- ent business could not be used; brought $300 more. A hog, a sheep, some chickens and a calf brought another $100. BY selling an extra team which was seldom used, it was possible to sell ten tons of. hay. The team brought $200, and the hay $250, making a total of $975. The loan we had expected to get was but 1500, and at 6 per cent. We had already twice as much tied up as tve would have borrowed at the bank. - I wonder if the borrowing habit is not getting beyond a necessity with some of us. Better look around and see if there isn't something that can be turned into cash to be reinvested, before you sign that note at the hank. —Mrs. C. 11, E. —...opy.....--.

Golden Tet—Am 1my brother's keeper—Gen, 41 90 ANA.LYSiS, 1, THE MUEDEE OF ABMs 1-8, TiE PUNISHMENT OF EMNfr 9-16; ISITRODTJCTION--The story falls into three parts; I. The Murder of Abel; II, The Punishment of Cain, and III, the Descendants of Cain. Here, as In the earlier chapters, Genesis shows its Interest in the beginning of human life and hietory. Abel represents the beginnings of pastoral, or ehepherd life, Cain that of agriculture.. Their hostility and the crime of Cain shows the rapid development of evil among men, and their offerings point to the ib;sgalinsnoierstde beginnings flofrebliogiliousr ofacity, and of Caaiiq of his descendants one is said to have been "the father of such as dwell in tents,"thewanilddeprinayesesr tmu noornadssic,oar heaitejai!, strumente, and a. third is "an instruc- tor of every artificer in brass and Iron," or as Moffatt renders it, "the smith Who forged bronze and iron tools." The father of these three Is tiamech whe apparently used the wee,- pon forged for him by his son the smith to avenge himself upon an enemy, and who celebrates his bloody vietory in song, "the Sword Song of la,mech," v. 28. Some early conflict arising between shepherds and tillers of the soil, or some eondition of con- flict with its crimes of violence and tbhloothhaed, r.seerns to be reflected in ispte I. THE MUROER OF ABEL, - The narne -Cain (v..1), probably means one who forges tools, or tveae p," that is a smith, as in the name dulaal Cain, or Jabal the smith. The sound of it in the Hebrew language is closely similar to that of a word mean- ing "to get," or "get possession." Hence, the saying of Eve, "I have got- ten a man." The name Abel Iv. 2), Is probably connected with an old As- ayrian word which means Of the fruit of the ground . . of the firstling!' of his flock, vs. 3, 4. The offerings should have been equally ac- ceptable at Goesaltar had they repre- sented free worship. The reason for the rejection of Cain's offering is clearly indicated In v. 7, "If thou doest well, shalt thou not beaccepted?" Cain's life had not been right and his sacrifice was not a sincere act of wor- ship. It was not a "sacrifice of right- eousness" (Psalm 51:16-19. Compare Rom. 2:6-11.) The idea sometimes ex- pressed that Gain's offering was reject- ed because it was not an offering of blood has no foendation in the narra- tive. In Israel's religious laws of subse- quent times both kinds of offerings are I recognized, the fruits of the field and the firstlings of the flock and herd. Num. 18: 1-20. Even Plato, the Greek philosopher, declares that "it would be strange if the gods looked to gifts and sacrifices and not to the soul." With that sentiment the Hebrew prophetic writers are in thorough agreement. Com -pare also Heb. 11:4. Cain's anger seems to be rooted hi jealousy. The acceptance of Abel's sacrifice is made apparent in some way, most likely by the preeperity which attends him and which is re- garded as an evidence of God's. favor. Cain is not so prospered and he is envious. Hia envy ripens into murder- ous hatred. sand Cain talked with Abel, v. 8. The Samaritans, of whom there are still some in Palestine, have preserved an ancient manuscript of the Pentateuch, written in the characters of the an- cient Hebrew form of writing, which it is interesting to compare with the texts preserved by the Jews from which our modern English translao tions are made. Here the reading of the Samaritan is, "and Cain said to his brother, Let us go into the field; and it came to pass," etc. This is prob- ably the true original reading. The words, "let us go Into the field," have been accidentally dropped in the ordi- nary Hebrew text. They are found in the Greek and Latin translations. II. THE PUNISHMENT OF CAIN, 9-16. 1 know not, v. 9. Cain denies respon- sibility. The evil passion, which is represented as a wild beast couching at his door, has mastered him. He should have ruled over it (v. 7), but he has let it rale him. He stands for all time as the type of brutal selfish- ness, of inhuman disregard fer the life or the wellbeing of his brother man. No follower of Jesus Christ can fail to recognize that he isv,inri Thy oa. Tvehrey:inael sense, his brother'stitel,sblo blood, v. idea finds expression in other Old Testament passages,and was wide- spread among the ..A.rabs and other ancient peoples, that blood spilled uport, the ground cried out for vengeance, and that the land hi which a erime was committed was held guilty until the penalty for it was paid. Ezk. 24:7, 8; Iso. 26:21; Job. 16:18; 31:38, 89. Compare Heb, 114 and 12:24. A fugitive and a vagabond, v. 12. That is the murderer's heaviest penal- ty, that he is cut off from his fellow men. Even though he escapes death, he is always a marked man. Cain complains that his punishment is greater than he can bear, but he utters no word of repentancaor of sorrow for what he has done. Ile fears only to lose his own life which his crime has rendered forfeit. just what the "mark" was which God put upon him, or, as better rendered, the "sign" which God gave him, we do not know. God's mercy Is exteeded even to the rilurd Thaereenain Iived in a peopled weadd seem evident from vs. 14-17, and this fact proves to us that there is no at- tempt here, on the part of the Biblical writer to give us a complete or con- nected history of early humanity.

DRY CLEANING I DO AT HOME BY NELL B. 4aa a fatroug believer in bbs11.0e of soap ant* water for cleaning clothes as well as necks. Bat there are some things you can't risk to a soap and Water bath. So at least once a SOESM I declare a halt holiday from hostess work and dry-elenn all the 'non- waehables I can, And In the Istni.ler wardrobe, Itt some ways dry cleaning Is easier than washing, You don't have to worry about the clothes shrinking or the color fading, And, too, the ruffles, braids and ornamentoome through as perky as when you 'dipped them into their dry bath. I make an exception of pearl hatboxes. Some materials used. in dry cleaning remove the lustre from the pearl. The gloss can he partly restored by polishing with sweet oil but it Is really less bother to take the buttons off In the beginning, Another advantage of dry cleaning WOoleris is that moths and their egga are killed by 'grease soleents, Pm ueually satisfied, with my dry- cleaning results but I never expect impossibilities. I used to think gaso- line and other eleaning agents could do anything. A few big disappe$ntments taught me differently. They are mere- ly grease solvents. Only the dirt held In fabrics by the grease can be remov- ed in home dry cleaning. Fruit, chocce late, coffee and tea Stains, for instance, are not 'affected by gasoline and simi- lar substances,. Before I dip a single garment I dust it thoroughly by brushing. The gar- ments need to be dry too. If there are any bad spots 1 mark them with an outline stitch, using a thread of a contrasting color. choose a sunny, windy day and the right kind of a cleaning fluid. I have used gasoline, benzine, carbon tetra- chloride and various commercial pre- parations with success. The first two are inflammable. I use them with all the precautions which common "home sense" demands. I use these solvents in 4 room without a fire and with the windows and doors open. If tit isn't too cold I do the washing outdoors. The wet garments are rubbed very gently. Brisk rubbing is dangerous. A neighbor of mine who was washing the gloves on her hands rubbed so violent- ly that they caught fire and burned her hands and alerts. I like to use two large containers for the cleaning fluid. Dish pans ans- wer well, enough. Since many of the liquids evaporate so rapidly, I -try to have everything ready—hangers, clothespins and brushes—before the cleaning proper begins. I also have a vessel with a coveinnin hand. If the garments are badly soiled I frequently soak themn in the grease solvent for an hour or longer. I have the best luck by dipping the entire garment. Pertial dipping usual- ly brings me trouble. It is the best plan to use a cleaning liquid which is purely solvent and quickly volatile, and remember to use plenty of it for both washing and rinsing. At least two rinses are needed. When I ant using gasoline that is soiled or not highly refined, I always strain it through cotton or chamois. I especially like to use chamois be- cause it keeps out the water. If there is water in gasoline it lowers the vola- tility, and may leave water spots. It causes slow drying too, and sometimes makes the dye run. I buy the best grade of gasoline. Benzine is a little more expensive hut I like to work with it as it evaporates se quickly. Now for the welshing proper. I im- merse the garment in a pan containing an abundance of gasoline, benzine or carbon tetrachloride. If there are bad spots they are given special attention. Either a benzine soap is rubbed on them .or they are brushed gently with soft bristles. The clothing is soused up and. down thoroughly. Then it is squeezed fairly dry and rinsed ,at least two times in generous amounts of the cleansing liquid. There is no gain made by trying to economize on the amount of fluid used. I never stop rinsing until the liquid_ looks perfectly clean after the clothes have been sous- ed up and down a few. times. After the rinsing I hang the gar- tnents outdoors in the sunshine and wind. 11 possible, I allow them to air several hours. Then they are pressed. The heat of the iron not only removes the wrinkles hut it also helps, as does the airing, to destroy the odor of the cleanser. If the fabric scorches or be- comes glossy easily, a piece of thin cloth is placed en top to keep the hot iron from resting directly on the gar- ment. As a rule, I find the liquids used for rinsing clean enough, after filtering through cotton, to use again in clean- ings There is a difference, however, in gasoline that has been used more than once. It is less volatile and is more of an oil than a cleanser. The badly sell - ed liquids are to be discarded. r n.ever throw them on grass, as they burn it, or down the drain pipe, for the fumes might cause an explosion.. if poured on sand they evaporate tmiekly. Sometimes when there are only one or two grease spots en it garment I omit my rule against partial dipping. The spots are Placed right side down en it piece of absorbent cotton and the cleansing , fluid' is applied with a "tarnpien." This is nothing more than a ball of cotton wrapped in thin cloth, which should be Iletlese. There is always the problem of ringa and streaks. These blemishes are clean areas surrounded by dirt. NICHOLS, They are -aused by the rephl spread- ing of the gasoline. I and that tbe 4Se of tam abuttals:nee of absorbent cottoa ander the stain, which takes up the surplus oleansing liquid, eliminates the danger. I have used alcohol to re- move Stubbern grease spots; with it there ***less likelihood of rings. Whenever 1 fear that rings or streaks may have ;formed I erase the 'doubts by rinsing the garment rihjeklY in gasOline. Thereare many finely powdered clays on the, market, sueb. as French chalk and fuller's earth, that will ab - Sorb spots of grease. I use them occa- siortally and they never leave rings, The powder Is applied and'aThowed to stand several hours. Then it is brush- ed off. Cleaning 'liquids are hard on the hands. Ths rapid evaporation, of vola- tile fluids alwaye erack and roughens my skin. Fes this reason I wear rub- ber gloves when dry cleaning clothing. if they are not available, a good lo- tion or glycerine may be rubbed on t'he hands- hranediately tater the cleaning' is finished and. before the hands are dipped in water. Carbon Vetrachloride and many coms mercial cleaners are nonsinflananahles - and safe any place.' I like to use them when it Is too cold to work outdoors. Gasoline and benzine a.re safe too if the worker uses them outdoors or ia rooms with open windows and doors. Every person needs to appreciate—our children need to be taught—that just because these liquids are ealm and innocent in appearance does not mean that their fumes are not highly explo- sive. So my parting suggestions are: If you dry-clean at hem° be sure to find out whether the liquid is Lallans - Diable before starting the work. Then you can play safe. Site and Soil for Roses. By F. C. Nunniek for the Ontario Horticultural Aesociation. It has been said "the rose garden must not be in an exposed sittiation. It must have shelter but it must not have shada No boughs may darken, no drip may saturate, no roots may rob the rose." In Canada, however, it has been. found that an hour or two of shade during the most extremes heat of the day is not at all undesirable, but it must always be borne in mind that the rose is a sun loving plant.

The) ideal soil is a rich; deep tonna but a good rose bed can be made in clay, sand or gravel at a little expense and labor. The hybrid perpetuals succeed best in a clay loam, while the tea roses or those having tea blood prefer a lighter soil, such as a rich sandy loam. In no case should the soil be so heavy that it will pack or bake and thus retard root growth or so light and sandy or plantfood. yedns ncit to contain sufficient If the soil is wet, drainage must Le provided.

This ehould be thoroughly fork- ed up and mixed as the bed is being refilled. If the sea is sandy add clay and well rotted manure and fill as be- fore described. Of the commercial fertilizers a little ground bone is ex- cellent to add as additional food but not AS a substitute for the manure or compost. The beds should not be raised above the level of the surrounding lawn or garden surface. It is better that they be an inch below the surrounding level in order that they niats receive full advantage of all rainf•all. The soil of the rosebed should be kept rich and well supplied with humus by the application of syell-rot- ted manure. This nen be added as a mulch in the autumn.
