In addition we must consider our instinctive likes and die - likes. Our taste and feeling lovable to certan colors, Intenlities and com- binations. No general rules for exterior color schemes can therefore be laid down. There are so many exceptions that we must rely mainly on sound judg- ment and common sense. However, we should always be guided by the prime considerations of design, color contrast and lighting and attempt to coordinate thern.

A house of beautiful architectural design may be quite ugly if it is painted in harsh or con- flicting colors. Conversely, a house of quite ordinary design may be made very attractive by the use of an ap- propriate color scheme. There are so. many considerations to be taken account of in the matter of color harmony, that the successful selection of a suitable color scheme will give pause to the home owner. There are, however, a few fundament- al principles which will greatly assist. him in alugssing an appropriate color scheme for the exterior of his home. One of the chief causes for the ugly color combinations on so snarly of the houses that one notes in peas- ing through the country, is lack of harmony. The colors of these houses do not blend into their backgrounds and surroundings. There has been no attempt to harmonize the roof, trim ami body, either with theznselves or with their surroundingh. Roofs may be all painted a bright red, pre- sumably on the theory that red is solid tones. The colors selected are a good roof t color, regardless of the commonly, white, yellow, red and fact that it may be very. "glaring" green. The reason for the preference against an open sky or background, of bright color is that the duller or clash with the colors of other parts hues would not show so well at a of the house, though. such a roof distance, nor would they be as cheer - might be interesting and attractive ful as the brighter shades. Large body surfaces in solid color should be relieved, by contrasting col- ors on trim:and roof. No material should ever be painted in imitation of some other material, as brickwork, for instance, or the graining of wood. It should be remembered that color masses make different impressions at varying distances. Houses should be inspected for color, both closely and at a distance. - Usually ferrhs are blessed with plenty of "landscape" surrounding them. They would be inconspicuous and. dull indeed, were their buildings to be painted in some drab color. There is nothing that presents a more attractive appearance to the passer- by than farm lands, whose buildings are attractively decorated in b-rilliant or harmonizing.colors.

As soon as the calf is dropped, one or two eight -ounce bottles of dam's milk should be drawn and given to the calf. This feeding is best done by using regular nursing -bottles and enlarging the holes in the nipples. This first milk, or colostrum, of the cow possesses a number of qualities highly essential to the new-born calf. It cleans out the digestive tract of the young animal and also provides an immunity against scours and di- gestive disorders. Even if there is no evidence of scours in the herd it is we'll to feed colostrum milk to all of the calves at birth before they have a chance to suckle their dam. To be effective, the colostrum must reach the calf's stom- ach before any filth does. 14:4 - The zinnia is a native of Mexico.

TING INTRODUCTION—The story of Jacob and Esau vividly portrays the cher- acter of the two brothers. Esau was O. cunning hunter, e man. of the field, averse to settled life and continuous labor, governed by his senses, and eareless of the promiaas end 7rivi- leges attached to his birthright as elder son. Jacob was the toiler, the plain, simple, home -loving naan, but nevertheless shrewd, far-seeing, ancl ambitious. There is no doubt that the writer has in mind also the contrast in character of the two closely related peoples of Edom and Israel. L BIRTHRIGHT AND EARLY oies, 25: 19-28. • V, 23. Pico nations. The prophetic oracle here, like the blessing of Jacob in chap 27, forecasts the future of Edom and Israel, the nations which regarded the two brothers as their respective founders. Israel was to be the stronger nation, and Edam, found- ed by Esau, the elder brother, was to be subject to Israel, founded by Jacob the younger. The subjection of Edam actually took place in the reign of David. See 2 Samuel 8:14. Compare Gen. 27:40, and the euccessful revolt of Edom as related in 2 Kings 8:20-22 and 16:6. Edom was sometimes called Esau in later times, just as Israel was sometimes called Jacob. See Jer. 49:8-10; Obad. 6-10. V. 26. His name was called Jacob. -The Hebrew 'name "Jaeob" means "one who takes by the heel" or "one who supplants," and is regarded by the -writer as suggestive of the fact that Jacob did supplant his brother by robbing him a his birthright. The partiality of Isaac for Esau and of Rebekah for Jacob is also regarded as a Chief cause of the trouble which arose between the brothers. II. ESAiI19-34 HIS BIRTHRIGHT, 25: V. 31. Thy birthright; that is, his rights and priviaeges as firstborn SOH. It is altogether likely that, in this case, the elder son would have suc- ceeded his father as head of the com- munity or tribe, and that, in the dis- tribution of his father's property he would have had the larger share (Dent. 21 :16-17 ; Gen. 49:8) . Com- pare the blessing intended for the firstborn in 27:27-29. V. 34. E,sant despised his birtaright. To the later Old and New Testament writers it seemed clear that Esau had, by this foolish act, forfeited his elaine and that of his descendants, to the great promises of the covenant naade with Abraham (chs. 15 and 17), and so to that high destiny which became Israel's in God's plan of salvation for the world. See Mal. 1:2-3 and Rom. 9:10-13. Thus the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews speaks of hint as a "profane person, who for °lie mess of meat sold his own birthright." Jacob, on the contrary, had a shrewd appreciation of the value of that which he purchased so cheaply. It is quite contrary to the truth,to say that "Jacob's action on this occasion is re- corded without disapproval" (Ryle). The same thing might be said of the gross deception practiced to secure the much -prized blessing. But, in both cases, the disapproval is clearly implied. At the same time it seems also to be -implied that God's purpose to honor Israel was thus given effect; God having overruled the selfish act of Jacob or its accomplishment. The graphic story of Jacob's wrestling at Peniel (ch. 32:24-32), is a story of repentance and confession as tvell as of prevailing pratter. III. THE STOLEN BLESSING, 27:1;40. V. 4.

A serviceable cloth for an oblong dieing -table can be made by connect- ing tsvo large seeks with a strip of torchon insertion, A touch of color is added by running a heavy,thread of Delft blue near the edges of the insertion and along the hems. Make napkins to snatch. I suppose every one makes quilt linings and tee towels of the sacks, but does every one know how to make the tea towels suitable for gifts? At a shower fax a bride, a friend pre- sented a half-dozen tea, towels hem- med by hand. Each one was embroi— dered with a pitcher, a teapot, clap and saucer, or knife and fork, outlin- ed in blue. Another girl made a fudge apron from a sugar sack. The bib, pockets and hem of the apron were trimmed with wide bands of flowered percale. Underwear made from heavy sacks will last a long time. Trim with rickrack or torchon lace. Thin ma- terial makes peetty sash cartains. You can add a deep hem of striped, checked, dotted or flowered material. Scarfs and squares to match the cur- tains are pretty. To make a dresser scarf, cut a strip oa white sacking about seven inches wide and as long as the dresser, less six inches (to aa - low for the burder).

"I first covered the floor with heavy paper," said my neighbor, "then stretched the gunny- sacks (sewed together) ,to fit the room, and tacked them firmly all around the wall. I then prepared a thick, cooked paste ofefloer and water, and spread while hot over the gunny- sacks.

Gooderhane the Dominion Apiarist. In an apiary worked for extracted honey the wax will come principally from cappings. A special box should be kept fax old cembs that have been 'rejected, for pieces of adventitious comb, for piecesof drone comb that have been cut out of worker combs, fax trimmings of foundations, etc„, as they represent wax. The best way to deal with cappings and pieces of clean new comb, says Mr. Gooderham, is to place them in a solar wax extracter consisting of a glass coarered box con- taininga sheet naetal tray in which they -will melt by the heat of the sun during the warmer months of the year; but combs that contain much pollen or have been used fax rearing ibrood so often that they have become dark -colored cannot be rendered pro- fit:ably in the solar extractor and must be meted over a fire in boiling water or by steam. A certain amount of 'wax may be extracted from such combs by rendeeing them in a wax extractor made on the principle of potato steamer but to get nearly all the wax out of them it is nec,essary to subject the molten mass to. pies - sure.
