My Horse Helps Butcher.
. The most difficult part of home
butchering is drawing up the beef to
•a convenient height for ,dressing off.
For years I used tackle blockbut
that required the eombined strength of
two men. This year I took •a double -
tree &verser and hooked the side clev-
ises. through the hind -leg tendons of
the beef, snapped the hayfork pulley
into the centre Cleves of the double -
tree and hitched a horse to the hay-
fork rhe. I drove the horse out and
when the beef was raised to the pro-
per height I had my helper wind a
bran sack tightly around, the rope on
the outer side of the floor pulley.
When I unhitched the horse the bran
sack caught in the pulley and pre-
vented the rope from sliding back,
thereby holding the beef securely for
, the dressihg-off process.—A.I.M.
Mushroom Soup.

Po -leen -ivy is the most prevalent
poisonous weed in America. All parts
of the'plant are poisonous to the touch
—even the wood in winter. When the.
plants are binned, the smoke may
carry the poison. To distinguish this
. plant from Virginia creeper or wood-
bine, remember that. poison -ivy has
white berries and three in a
grciule while Virginia creeper has red
.berries and live leaves in a group..
Poison -ley. can be killed by giving
every plant a:bigelose of common sell.

•A PINK KIT MADE AT HOME
A picnic becomes easy when, at
short notice, ore eats put a well-equip-
ped kit ia the essr. Such a lsit ought
to be in the posseseion of every pick
nicking family,. Except for food it
should .he kept ready during the sea-
son in an accessible creset from which
it can be taken without trouble and
packed with the desired edibles,
If the family ie not too large an old
suitcase may be just the thing needed
for a foundation, A strong wooden
box, light in weight, may better serve
the same purpose if the trips are to be
frequent or long. The she of the box
to be chosen ehouldThe deteemined by
the place on the car where it may be
earried most conveniettly, whether on
the running board or near the tire
estrrier. Some people prefer a long
box as wide as the running board and
just high enough to be cleared by the
dome when they must be opened. Such
a kit opens at the side and the door is
so hin,ged and supported at each end
that it forme a table when needed.
• THE EQUIPMENT.
• Cover the outside of a box with
black pebble oilcloth to make it water-
proof, tacking- it on neatly, Before
lining the inside of the box determine
just where one Will put the various
articles it is to held. The purpose is
to pack as advantageously ae posSible
half a dozen knives and forks, a dezen
teaspoon's, two or more tablespoons, a
stack of paper plates, a few aluminum
plates, paper napkins and tablecloth,
salt and pepper shakers, sugar shaker,
a small screw-top eandy jar for sweet
cream or salad dressing, a ease knife,
paring knives, can opener, smell
strainer, nickle pocket match -box and
a small canned heat outfit for emer-
eencies. The bottom of the box should
be left free for food at serving time
if the door of the kit is to be used as
a table.
• s LINING THE KIT.
To line the box, first fit carefully
to each side of it and to, the top and
the bottomsa piece .of heavy card:
hoard, or wallbseard if the box is large.
The wallboard may be cut with tin
snips as easily as the thin pasteboard
is with scissors, or with a harp knife.
Cover each piece with smooth white
-oilcloth. by sewing back and forth at
the back of the cardboard with hea.vy
thread. Lay on the right side of each
lining the articles to be held in place
there and with a pencil mark where
the elastic Should come to keep each
piece where it belongs. With an awl
make hoes at these points through the
oilcloth and cardboard. Draw sound
white eastic through these holes, •up'
through one and down through the
next, in such aewity ,as to hold the
articles in the -desired places. Cut the
elastic as little as possitile and fasten'
Ili? ends securely at the back of the
cardboard. As the lining for each side

• "Not through the way of the land
of the Philistines." The reason given •
is that Moses, instructed by the• voice
.of God, chose to avoid the direct road
te Palestine, which lay along the sea
shore and. which led through the Phil-
istine country, in order to avoid the
' possibility of having to wage war, for

pockets with a flap over each is a
great convenience to hang from the
robe rail if one's famili indulges often
in picnics er automobile tours. The
size of the pockets and their arrange-
ment should be determined by the
needs of each particular family. If the
children of the household are very
small, the pockets will probably be
needed most for extra clothing and
toilet articles, with one or two large
divisions for soiled garments. With
children a little older, such a series
of pockets will greatly help to keep the
car looking neat, affording as it does
places for toyesmid many a treasure
the little owners want to keep , un-
broken until they reach home. Chil-
dress of the 'teen age will delight in
pockets in which to keep their bathing
suits until needed, and a big recep-
tacle in which damp suits may be
placed without injury to the uph,ol-
stery of the car and discomfeft to the
occupants. A piede of oilcloth or part
of a worn meclsintosh will serve well
as a lining for such a pocket. It is a
good idea, too, to fasten to the middle
of the front side, of the' pocket, a
slender stick of wood about 8 inches
long that can be used to hold the damp
pocket open so it can dry after .being
emptied. Fasten to the cloth with a
cord 'ehere it cannot be seen, this will
aes-ays be appreciated when it is
needed.
• Treatment for Colic. of
Horses.
Some of the common causes' of colic
are: Sudden changes of feed; dam-
aged feed; too much or too little feed;
irregularity in feeding; feeding when
hot, tired and sweaty; allowing much
cold water when hot and tired; al-
lowing much water just after a meal;
feeding new hay or new oats; ex-
posure to wet ,ancl gold; standing in
a cold draft when hot; excessive use
of drugs; cooked feed; lack of salt;
impure water, etc.
• In the medicine -cabinet at the barn
there should be some remedies to use
when a horse is attacked by colic and
while waiting for the arrival of the
veterinarian. When a horse suffers
an attack of spasmodic colic, give him
a pint of raw linseed -oil in which may
sheken up a teaspoonful each of
essence of ginger and peppermint, and
an ounce of paregoric. These medi-
cines, with the exception of paregoric,
well hese) in •flatulent cella, but it is svhereas the „late melters, these thee
to the soil. If it does not rain, a
light cultivation with a harrow that
passes between the rows of the pota-
toes will get the same effect.
Millet so planted lest year came on
rapidly, making a growth of over five
feet, with heavy heads. In the fall
we mowed and stacked it for rough-
age. This left the land clean at dig-
ging time and the roots had pene-
trated so as to make the soil reellosv
and porous.
Knowing that most potato patches
turn into weed patches after laying
by, and seed the farm to weeds, we
consider that this double cropping is
a good praotice and know that it is
prefitable—Mrs. Lillian. Perry.

The Red Sea was known to the He-

northern arms between which lies the
peninsula of Sinai, The western arm,

"They went up harnessed." Th
Revised Version renders "armed.'
The meaning of the word is doulleful,
but it is, probably, that the Men were
furnished with arms of some kind for
defence assainst
'The bones of Joseph." See Gen. 50:
24-26 and Josh. 24:32.
"From Succeth.", See 12:37. Suc-
coth is mentioned in Egypt inscrip-
tions as either a name of the city of
Pithom, chief city of the district, or
of the region round about it. "Etham
in the edge of the wilderness," is un-
known. The wilderness, however,
must .have, been the wild Arabian
country, stretthing away to the east -
weed, which they were about to enter.
"The Lord went before them." The
pillar of cloud and pilar of fire were
the visible symbols of God's presence.
The suggestion has been made by some
modern writers that. there may have
been actually a beazier filled • with
burning wood carried in the van of
the marching hest, from which a fire
wousd be lit in the encampment at
the door of the sanctuary (33: 9),
and which would be visible to all as a
column of rising smoke by clay and of
fire by night. Such a fire, symbolizing
the divine Presence., would be care-
fully guarded and never allosved to go
out. Compare the promises in 23:20-
23 and 33: 14-16.

great courage and a great faith:

Cost of Rearing Chicks.
An especial:et interesting experi-
ment to ascertain the rate and cost ,
of growth in rearing chicks is chron-
icled in the annual report of Mr. J.
A. Ste. Marie, superintendent of the
Dominion Experimental Station at
Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere, Quebec.
Three hundred and: forty chicks weee
used and at the end of the experi-
ment, which lasted 26 weeks, that is
from April 5 to September 26, all the
chicks were. still alive. The feed -con-
sumed consisted of a home -sized
grain 'ration, dry mash, rolled oats,
eggs, skim -milk, charcoal, grit, oyster
shells and greens (sprouted oats)
kept constantly -before the birds. Un -
fertile eggs taken from the incubae
'tor were boiled and served during a
week at the rate of one egg per pound
of mash, svhieh was composed of equal
parts of cornmeal, shorts, sifted oat
meal and ineat meal. The mixed
grains fed in the litter consisted of
equal parts by weight of wheat,
prackedscorn and oats. When hatehed
the chicks weighed an average of 2
ounces -each, 'at the end of the first
month three-quarters pound each, at.
the end of two months 114t pounds, at b
the end of the 261h week 3.88 pounds
eath. The total cost of feed, as sta-
tistically detailed in the report, was
$150.88 and the 'cost per pound gain
11.4 cents. The total weight when
hatched vsas542.5 lbs., and at the end
of the experiment 1,32.0 lbs.
OLD-FASHIONED HOSPITALITY
• By MABEL JA
Every once in a while some remin-
iscent soul bemoans the feet that the

lzi our grandfathers' day, is disap-
pearing and it is usually couceded by
all preseet with a sigh, tbet "them

The English are famous for thei

Englishman's house is truly his "cas

dreassi of inteduclitg for an overnigh
visit, without an invitation, and a
invitatien to spend a week -end at a
English home reads something lik
this:

My father, one of the old pioneers
bragged that he never took a penny
for keeping man or beast overnight
_His home was a half -way point be

consequence of his mistaken sense of
hospitality was that the house went
unpainted and we children went un-
educated, save for such learning as we
could get at the country school, until.
we were able to get out and secure
some schooling for ourselves. Literally
tons of hay and storehouses of pro-
visions (that had a market value)
were fed out each year to these
comers -in. City peop'se canse and rav-
ed about the good things we had to
eat, and came again and again. They

the sake of my friend, the sister of

t • THREE COURSES OPEN
Why should a farm woman be ex-
pected to entertains uninvited guest
any n•iore than the woman living in ,
' town? Why shouldn't her home be
. just as private as a city home? She
_ is usually a much busier person than
her city sister. I wouldn't dream of
descending upon a town acquaintance,
with my suitcase and announcing my-
self as an overnight guest, just be-
cause I was acquainted with my "un-
willing" hostess' cousin.' Would you?
1 brow not. You know too well what
it means. Nor wioulcS I vsalls along
the edge of her grounds and pick her
flowers nor help myself to fruit from
her trees. But people do these things
to me (and to my neighbors) all the
time, or did until I made a declaratien
of independence. I have learned to
say "No." I try to say it courteously
but I certainly do say it firmly.
IBy all means let's keep the fires
of hospitality burning in ours hearts
, and on our hearthstones but lets:
I being doormats. Let's demand the
!right to say whom and when we shall
entertain and not deplete our health
i and bank accounts for the sake of
I making, not friend's, but parasites. A
; parasite has no respect for those on
Iwhom 'feeds!
I There are three courses open: One
is quitting the farm RS 1 have kisown
more than ane couple to do on ac-
count ef too many guests who do not
contribute to the exchequer; another
is putting up a shingle and charging
for meals, as a friend of mine did,
with comical results as far as her
former seekers after 0. F. H. were
concerned; the third is te do as I did.

To Keep Flies Away.
A formula for sprays to keep flies
off Cattle fellows: Four quarts case -
tar drip, four quarts fish oil, threa
quarts coal oil, three quarts whale
oil, one and one-half quarts oil of tar,
three pounds laundry soap.
Dissolve the soap in warm water,
add else ether materials and mix thor-
oughly. Than add enough warm
water to bring the amount up tp 30
gallons. Spray COWS with this twice a
day—once in morning (after milking
and milk has been removed from the
been) and once in the afternoon.
If you have 40 cows, the amounts
called for in. the fermula will make
enough "dope" to last a month. If
you have only ten cows, use one-fourth
the amount of each material. Apply
to the animals' coats with a spray
pump—one of the compressed air -tank
sprayers would be fine.

. TIMES HAVE CHANGED.
Have times changed much sinee
then? Speaking from my experience
as a countrywoman, I say No! Trans-
portation is much easier now and
more people come.
After living severel years in the
city, my husband and I decided, a few
years ago, to get back to the soil *oin
whence we sprang. Our present homc.
is on a paved highway, forty . miles
from the city in which we lived. Every
Sunday our friends and acquaintances
immediately began pouring in on us,
literally in hordes. Not only did our
own acquaintances come, but their
friends and relatives would "stop by,"
explaining, "Edith said for us to be
sure and call an you." I got so I
dreaded. to see a machine stop, for it
usually meant people to cook for.
Sometimes they brought their lunch,
but More often did not. And even
when they did, they looked upon our
cherries, isetches, berries and milk as
their legitimate prey and we were
considered very stingy—very unhospi-
table—if we did not offer them these
things.
So my husba,nd and 1 decided that in
self-preservation we had to take some
drastic measures.
The first thing we did was to sell
every bit of ripe fruit and cream on
Saturday and then calmly say to all
vho appeared on Sunday, "So sorry
ut we haven't any fruit or cream to
offer you. Our anarket day is Satur-
day now."
Then I learned to say to self -invited
guests, "I'm sorry but I am not able
to ask you to stay overnight. There is
a splendid inn ten miles farther on
and the rates are Very reasonable."
