The Business of Farming.—L Perm lug is a composite business. It waa once looked upon as the simplest of callings, and this it ap- peared to be when all that was nee- es.4aey Was to Tie a government claim for hind, to sow the seed indiffereatlye and to -reap a bountiful harvest. How- ever, the days of cheap lend and vir- gin fertility are gone forever and the time is hero when Canadian fanning nanst become more and snore intensive if farming as a business is to rank with other lino of manufacture. There are various factors which operate from the outside and deter- mine the success of the farmer's ef- forts. The man who most clearly visualizes these controlling factors and balances them in the order of :heir relative importance, is the man• who makes best returns on his money. Some of the factors ere business manaerement, weather conditions,' breeding, disease and insect control. I Canadian farmers are business! men. According to the 1911 census,1 the farm investment in land, build- ings and farm equipment in Canada.' totalled over 3•Plee billion dollars, while if we add to this the value of crops: and live stock on the farm, it adds: another billion of valuation. These faru valuations have increased enormously. In Ontario fanning! equipment totals over one hundred: million dollars, while stock and crops; approach a valise of over four him -1 dred million. Such an investment isl large. If the Canadian farmer is to, prove his success as a business man,1 he must look to the most effective use of capital. It is for this very reason that an increasing amount of study, must be given to things fundamental to largest production. Land is the basis of things agricul- tural. Ontario has become one of the most productive areas of the Domin- ion. Its soils are receiving more and more study, so that this pro.duc- ;levity may be continued and increas- ed. Now, oil is the product of disin- tegrating rock and decaying plant matter. The various soils are attri- butable to the intermittent action of the forces which have led to the, breaking down of rock. • For instance, the great northern part of Ontario lei largely underlaid by rock of vol- canic origin in fact rock of • the very oldest formation, while that of the south and western half of the pro-, viz/0e is largely finned of rock whichl has been ground down by the action of wind and waves and deposited by the waters of the great lake that must have covered this area. Vari- ous rocks gave rise to soils of various types, which differ in chemical com- position, size of soil kernel, color, weight, etc. The farmer classifies these rocks as sandy, clay, limestone loam, meek or peat. If sand is in evidence it is called sandy loam, on the other hand if clay predominates it is classified as clay loam. The im- portant point is the size of the soil kernel. Dr. Hall, Secretary of the Beard of Agriculture, said before the British Association in 1910, that he be- lieved that, outside of the lime con- tent of the soil, the size of the soil, particles had more to do with the ' fertility of the soil than the actual composition of the particles. We shall see reasons for his statement as the work progresses. Size of space between particles. Sandy 32.49% Loam - . ............ 34.49% Heavy loam 44.15% Clay and loam ... 47.10% Clay 48 . 00% Fine clay ..52.00% The size of the soil space (which is the result of the size of the soil kernel determines the movement of water in the sod. Water is so im- portant in farming because the plant cannot take up solid material, but must obtain all its nutriment (out- side of carbon dioxide, which it takes in through the leaves,) in liquid form. For germination the seed requires moisture, heat, and air. If any one of *nese factors is removed the seed will not germinate. Or in other words, if Your soil its too dry, seeds which you pliant will not germinate, If the sail is. water-logged, and air is shut out, seeds will lie drormant in, it. Until the soil heats up beyond 42 degrees F. the seeds of most farm crops will not begin growth.M order for the germinated seed to plowed with groacth and reproduce; there must be added to the above, pliant - food sunlight.ceo are the fundamental requirements of crop growth, be it of flowers, fruit,. grain roots or other crops. Ae we said, water is all-important. It serves in plant growth in 'five ways: 'Function of end water, 1, To supply the living plant with hydrogen and oxygen, 2. To convey plaiatfooti from soil to plant. 3, To regulate temperatese condi- tions of the oil, vele dgmeee. 4.4 tt arelaCe,S540. iSienbrib Cla our remarkable Sescaosee aesege senate and Odor prize competition previonzir abnobbeet.9, lame it) arm t aU wire of on inaspensoble MIte.V0A4Wore.

In view of the great amount of water which is required by growing crops it is very important that the practical farnme should give careful' attention to con• servation of soil waters.

This is accomplished by rolling. • As a rule, rolling of the Soil should not be dem, especially on clay .When the soil is wet. When a fdeld is rolled in. most cases the rolling should be fol- lowed by a light harrowing., so as to stir the immediate surface and pre- vent the escape of moisture., (To be continued.)

Lesson 'VII.—The Ten Conanandments -g-Exodus 20: 1-17. Golden Text, Luke 10: 27, a 1. "And God. Spake." God speaks with the voices of nature (Psalms 19 and 29), and through, the lips of His servants (Jereen. 15: 19). What Moses spoke arid wrote, in making Israel's laws, is described as spoken or writ- ten by God. See again 18: 15-16 end 31: 18, and compare Heb. 1: 1 and II Peter 1: 21. 2. "I•Am The Lord Thy God," -In the original Hebrew 'the words are "Jehovah «thy God." Compare Dent. 5: 6, and, verse by verse, the Ten Commandments as they are repeated in that chapter. This was the funda- mental fact for Israel as it is for us. God is the fountain head of all law and all justice. A-part•froni our faith in Hint and obedience :to Him, no taw would have permanent OT binding value. The so-called "law of' hu- manity" has its spprerne sanction and authority in Him. 3, The First Commandment re-' that Israel shall worship Jehovah alone. "Thou shalt have none other gods." -Other nations about them had, some one, some many, gods. Israel must have :but one. This law is the forerunner, and ultimately becomes the law, of Israel 5 pure monotheism. Of the same eort, in Dent. 6: 4, 5, is the command, "Hear, 0 Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord thy 'God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." Compare Exoca. 23: 13; 34: 14, Deut. 6: , . , . 19-20,.and many other passages. 4-6, The Second 'Commandment is against idolatry, or the 'worship. bf images. The "graven image" was made of 'carved wood, sometimes over- laid with 'sheets of brass or gold, or of stone. Among the images of deity, or sacred; figures, of those days, in Egypt, Canaan, Babylon; and else.:' where, were representations of the, sun, moon and stm's, statues of men and beasts and fishes. All these, are forbidden to Israel. "A jealous God." The reason given for the observano of this 'law is that Jehovah wile have' no rival in the love of His people. He will not share that love with another god.. The law puts emphasis upon the just judgment of God, who has so ordained the course of human life that children are involved in and suf- fer the penalty of the guilt of their fathers, and that the rewards and benefits of goodness reach out to "thousands," flowing from the lives of those who love God and keep His Commandments. 7. The Third Commandment en- joins reverence and sincerity in using the name of God. It is not swearing that is forbidden, but taking God's name "in vain," that is frivolously,1 falsely, or insincerely. Compare Psalm 24: 4. The commandment is not broken when, ,in a matter of seri- ous importance, as before judge or any, one takes God to 'witness by an oath that he speaks or 'will, speak the erutha Yet the ideal of speech is that enjoined by our Lord Jesus Christ, which requires that a, man's simple word shall he 'good an every case, as good as, and so making un- necessary, his Oath (Matt. 5: 33-37). • 8-11. The law of the Sabbath gives preminence to this feature of ancient Hebrew worship ovee every other form or custom of that worship. There wore other holy days, but this day was to have highest importance. The reason given for its observance here is drawn from the story of the creation of the world in Gen. 1: 1-2; 3, but in Dent. 5: 14-15 it is the simple human reason "that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou." It will always be found ; by those who deeply that the divine end / not out of harmony,. The reference here to God's 'work of creation points to the, profound truth, that rest, as well as labor, is a law of God's universe. 12-17. Honor to parents, the sacred- ness of human lifee and of 'marriage, and the rights of 'Property, are en- joined in the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Commandments. The ninth forbids false wetness, anti the tenth covetousness. .

Few farmers realize the importance of regularity in feeding and, milking the dairy cow: They do not realize how easily disturbed the ow really is. It was called to my, attention several years Ago in this' way; We were indite .ing one 'afternoon when a strange dog' chased one of elm barn cata.threeigh the stable and- under 'some of.' the cows. The OW that the wetter was milking shut off her milk the moment the dog ran through the stable. The hired man remarked that the cow he was milking was holding up imeamilk. Hoe; did these cows do it? They =- tanner held up their milk, and did not give down again for some time after the dog had gone out. When the calf is taken away from the cow she will feequenely hold up her Milk, In these cases it is not an act of will but an unconscious effect- upon the nerv- ous system. Several years ago the waiter lied a beautifuljersey heifer which had re- cently calved and 'was doing finely. We were so pleased with her that we took her to the village for -a family cows. eem, cow. One day she got out of the yard and wandered into a field of grain. Some bays set a dog onto her and it was two days 'before she came back to hely milk. She was so excit- ed and nervous that somehow unce5.ea. seiously her muscle contraeted such a way that the milk would not run , down. This perhaps can be appreciated more readily evhen !one understands kthe 'Peculiar !structure of the udder. Above the teat is a small anile cistern about half a pint, and above that are little canals or ducts, which divide and sule-divide, anti at every division there is what is called sphinee ter muscles. The cow has a certain control over these nei.iscles. When anything occurs out of the ordinary she closes those muscles and shuts off her milk—not all of It but some of it. Now, when we. abuse a cow, of dad to feed, or fail way disturb her to milk her, or in any nervous condition, It does something to her which causes her to unconsciously held up her milk or a part of it.
