colors appropriate to a Dutch Col-

for a Georgian. In addition we must
consider our instinctive likes and die -

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.

COLOR IS IMPORTANT.
Color contributes as much to beauty
as does design. 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.

New Preventive for Calf
Scours.
A new method for preventing calf
scours, known as the colostrum -milk
method, has been discovered. 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.

if! 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. That I mai, eat, It is not clear
whether or not a sacrificial meal wae
intended, but this is quite possible.
In any case the pronouncing of the
blessing . upon ,the firstborn son was
1 regarded as a solemn religious rite
1 which coald not be revoked or undone,
Isaac appears not to have known of,
or not to have recognized, the trans-
fer of the birthright to Jaeob.
1 V. 12. A deceiver. Jacob's conduct
is shown in all its dishonesty and
uneasiness. He fully recognizes the
I wrong which he is tempted to do to
to his father and his brother, yet he
allows himself to be persuaded. He
lies to his father both in word and
(Ita'areci'
V. 38, 'Weis me, eve» Inc also. The
I better side of Esau's natare appears
'in his bitter grief at the loss of his
father's blessing. His grief would be
. none the less if he remembered at
'this moment his folly in sealing his
birthright so cheaply to his linemen,-

BUM, flour, Maal, chlelsergfeed and
bran sacks whicl are made of Et*
hleaehed domestic or muslin can, after
being lantdered and the lettering re-
moved, he made into many useful
articles. A 140 -pound sack contains,
enough material for a 011161 child's
dress. 1311it60410 610 neck, sleeves,
and around tho pockets with pink or
blue threed, making the fstitthes one,
fourth of ae inch. apart. Work a
simple design in French knots on the
front ef the dress and you will have
a pretty garment.
Be sure to remove all lettering be-
fore sacks are made into garments,
especially garments made for child-
ren. Children can be very cruel to-
ward each other, and the child of a
thrifty mother is sometimes subject-
ed to. much teasing because that
mother sees things only through her
own eyes.
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). Acid a three-
inch border of the colored material
all around.
Flear-sacks make good covers for
mattresses and pillows, keeping the
ticking clean. Heavier sacks can be
made into pillow -cases and mattress
pads. Make the pads by putting a
layer of cotton batting between two
strips of the material and quilting
across. You eau also snake sacks
into covers for clothes% 'hanging in
oloeets.
When making a bedspread of ssicks,
be sure ail eaalcs are of the same
quality. Put together with heavy lane

feather ticking. I have pillows made
of them which have been. in use for
five years and the feathers bave
never come through. I have also sew-
ed them together for straw ticks and
they wear splendidly. a
Gunnysacking provided the fossaida.-
tien of a floor covering for one of
my neighbors. "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. When that was thoroughly
dry, I applied another coating, filling
alA the rneshes, and after letting it
dry well, I gave it a coat of yersow
floor paint, and covered the paint
(after it had dried) with a coat ef
oak stain. This makes a smooth,
durable,,browe carpet, which is easily
cleaned by running over it with a
cloth dampened in kerosene, and will.
last until we can .buy lineleum.”

V. THE RETURN OF a-Acos, 32:3 to
32;3 T
3. 3:TS land of qeir. This was
the rough, wild country south of the
Dead Sea in which Esap had taken
up his abode. Jacob who Is now, after
many years, on his way back to
Canaan, deeires to establish friendly
relations. Wben be learns, however,
that Esau is coming to meet him with
a large siompany of men he is very
much alarmed, and prays for deliver -
ante. Ile sends on his servants with
rich presents, hoping thus to secure
his brother's god will But the bur-
den of a guilty coptieience is heavy
upon him, and left alone by the river
Jabbok (east of Jotclan), he spends
the night in agonizing prayer. When
morning dawns he has prevailed, and
bearing his new name of Israel, that
is, "He who strives with God," he
goes fOrward to the fateful meeting.
38:1. He diVided; so disposing of
his family that those most dear to
him would be hi the rear, and in case
of an attack would have a chance of
escape.
V. 3, Seven tinted. Jacob's prostra-
, tion indicated extreme humility and
tlesire to appease his brother. Esau
ahowe hiniself generous and forgiv-
ing. The tension was relieved and
th4j wept fax Joy.
V. 10. As one seeth the face of God
(Rev. Vele). No doubt Jacob spoke
truly. His brother's forgiveness and
warm, friend.,y greeting must have
been to him an assurance ef the for-
giveness of _Gad.

The Production of Wax.
I Beeswax being • worth more than
twice as much per pound as honey, all
the wax that is produced in the
'apiary should be saved, says Mr. C. B.
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. The supply dealers will readily
take beeswax in exchange for comb
foundation, charging a moderate com-
mission per pound for snaking the
foundation.
Remember that dahlias always
thrive best when planted by them-

And far green hills where cattle
