Betty's Return.
Mary Ann and Dean were two very
happy children. When one day they
overheard mother -say, "We will have
to get rid of the old cat 'Betty.' Her
days of usefulness were about over;
she was stiff, homely, and always
underfoot."
• The aged house pet was placed win
a bag, tied securely and put in the
wagon, as father was instructed to
"take her so far away that she could
neveraget back."
It was just bdfore Christmas and
thg farmer was on his way to the
nearest county town with a load of
pork, When fifteen miles away from
home he untied the string and "let
the cat out of the bag," thinking that
would be the last of Betty.
Well, what do you think? Scarcely
four weeks had passed when, in the
middle of a cold, blustering night, the
thermometer down to zero, snow two
feet deep on the ground, there was a
scratching on the back door and mew-
ing. How quick the little ears heard
. the familiar sound of old Betty. Out
of bed jumped Dean and down to the
kitchen as fast as his little legs could
carry him, crying "Come, mother, open
the door quick."
Sure enough, Betty had come back,
and walked in as unconcernedly as.
though she hadn't been away an hour,
rubbed`trp against the children as if
to say, "Here I am again." Poor old
• Betty was so thin, and to think she
had conte all that distance in the deep
snow. No .tt'me was lost in placing
a nice dish of warm milk before her,
the children clapping their hands and
saying, "Betty did come back, as Mary
Ann said she would."
When Betty had finished her milk,
she leisurely walked around to her
old spot back of the stove and lay
down, purring. contentedly.
Which goes to show a cat has the
sense of distance which .is not found
in human beings.
Home Grown Cows. ..--
A neighbor of ours never raises a
calf, always depending upon cows
sible snow loads; and rigid enough to
resist wind pressure.
picked up here and.there for such ani-
mals as he • ratty need in his dairy.
The -reason for this, as he states" it,.
is that he can buy cows cheaper than
he can raise them. In this respect
this friend of oars is representative
of a large class of farmers. On the
farms of these men we seldom see a
calf or a heifer coming on.
But there is this thing that I no-
tice, This neighbor, and others I
know who do not raise calves, are all
the time changing their cows oft for
one reason or another. While, these
men do not. say so, I have my suspi-
cions that this tendency to shift their
stock is due to the fact that they do
not get cows that are satisfactory
when they buy them. It is a risky
matter to buy cows, especially where
one does not know the man 'of wham
he buys. Nor is the fault alway with
the former. owner of the cow, For it
is a fact that the cow which may do
well for you may be an entirely dif-
ferent cow for me, with my peculiar
ways of feeding and caring for stock.
In my opinion, then, home-grown
cows are the best all round. It may
cost rather more to get these cows up
through to maturity, bat when we get
them we know better what we have
than where we step out and buy a
strange cow. For cows are big bun -
dies of peculiarities, some of which
are inherited, more acquired.
I have watched this matter of per-
sonal characteristics quite carefully.
and always with interest. Usually I
have found that it is the mother which
puts the imprint of her own disposi-
tion and eccentricities on the calf she
brings into the world. If the. cow As a
long milker, we may look for the heif-
er she drops to be so, too. Little
notions about standing when being
milked, or being light-footed or dis-
orderly, are also transmitted in many
cases. In. my own herd I have seen
a long line of cows marked by the
mother to be short -seasoned in the
flow of milk. That is, they almost uni-
versally have the fault of drying off
early, and not coming back until they
have had a long period of rest. The
loss from this kind of cows is great
in the course of a term of years. None
of us can afford to keep a cow thane
does not hold out in her milk yield.
Cows that grow up on the place
have another advantage not always
taken into account, and that is, they
know what to expect from the man
who has handled them from the start
and they are at home in the pasture
and in the yard with the other cattle.
This shows itselfstrikingly when the
cow is transferred to another environ-
ment. If a cow, feet example, has al-
ways. been treated kindly and has been
kept with other cows, that she likes
to be with, and then is suddenly sold
and put under the care of a man who
has litle feeling for his cows, looks
upon tem as "machines" and sends
them out- into the yard or pasture
with a lot of cross, "scrappy" cows,
she is almost sure to drop off in the
flow of her milk. "Getting wonted" is
what we say of the cow which is
undergoing this change, and some-
times she is homesick and `under the
weather generally for a long time. I
have brought cows in that way into
my herd and seen them fight for days
to settle the matter of who is boss. It,
is hard work; and sometimes I have'
had to separate cows that fought each,
other that way for a long time; and!
I am not sure but the best -way as to
dispose of one or the other of the
belligerents rather than to have the
herd all stirred up by constant fights.
Going a Tittle deeper into this mat-
er, it is worth while to notice that

Open implement sheds—that is,
structures having a roof and with one
or more sides open—are sometimes
built to shelter farm tools, but, gen-
erally speaking, a building which can
be closed all around and yet built with
doors in such a way that an opening
is available at any point on one side
is • he most satisfactory and service-
able. If farm tools are to be housed
at all, the slight, additional expendi-
ture necessary to close entirely the
building will assure them of being
well housed.
A convenient implement house re-
cently built by a neighbor farmer is
about 28x64 ft. in size. The roof is
covered with corrugated galvanized
sheet metal. A concrete floor in one
end provides a place for buggies with
rubber tires of °tiler vehicles which
should not stand on a dirt floor, This
building has two 16 -foot doorways on.
one side, and one 16 -foot doorway on
the opposite side, giving easy access
to any part of the building. One con-
tinuous door hanger track extends
along the entire side on which the two
doors are located.
The openings in an implement
house must be of large •size, about 1.
feet wide, to accommodate the widest
farm machines, and sliding doors are
the only practical kind. Swing doors
of large size are sure to warp and
sag, especially* when made of stock
lumber. They are also subject to
being blown about by the wind, dam-
aging either the door or the hinge
fastenings.
Although the doors of this building
are made in one section, it is much
better practice to use two doors to
each opening. These may be oper-
ated independently or may be flexibly
connected together by two strips of
steel or wood, one near the top of the
door and the other near the bottom.
This permits the movement of the two
sections as one, but overcomes to a
large extent the tendency of large
doors to warp.
It is frequently desirable to parti-
tion off one end of the implement
house to be used an a garage. In that
case an 8 -foot opening into the garage
i may be provided. The garage should
have a concrete floor, and windows
enough to give good light. A. small
work bench and a cupboard for stor-
ing supplies, etc., will be found con-
venient. In fact, if the garage is
made a trifle large and a door open-
ing is provided into the main part of
the implement house, it Will be very
convenient to use in making light
machinery repairs.
The Prince's Day,
If princes of old lived lives of lazy
luxury, modern princes take matters
more seriously. Here is a typical day
in the life of the Prince of Wales.
Seven o'clock, rise. Eight to nine,
breakfast. Nine to ten, heavy corres-
pondence. Ten to twelve, public en-
gagements, interviews, etc. One to
half -past two, luncheon. Three to
five, public engagements and visits.
Five, tea. Six to seven, work in the
library. Eight, dinner. Naturally, the
programme varies, and the Prince is

In the motor -drawn artillery regi-
ments certain men wee given inten-

motors. The tractors used are not un-
like those used on the great farms of
the west, and the soldiers were given
the opportunity to learn, not only how
to run and take care of tractors and.
wheeled znaterial, but also to observe..
the possibilities of these machines for
domestic use.
The trained infantryman was per-
haps the military "Jack of A.11 Trades."'
His courses included irrigation, sani-
tation, trench digging, and building
of revettments and shelters, all ex-
clusive o drill and. the use of the
rifle and bayonet, The Jackies of the
navy, besides learning much of the
same things that the Tommies were
taught, also came to understand the
secrets of weather prediction and the
tying of many kinds of useful knots
for various purposes, all of which
will be of practical help to these boys
when they return to the farms.
Considered as a whole, the nation
at `large, and the farmers in partici
lar, will benefit largely from the great
war in a way which will make for
greater efficiency of the worker, bet-
ter economy, and a greater output
and production from the soil, because
of the more intelligent application,
These results will become more and

Christian Missions --Acts 1: 8; 13: 1
to 14: 28. Golden Text,
Mark 16: 15.
Acts 1: 8—Ye Shall Receive Power,
and Ye Shall Be Witnesses. These are
among the last recorded word's of
Jesus to His disciples. Theirs is the
great commission, He tells them, to
be witnesses unto Him "both in Jer-
usalem, and in all Judea, and in Sam-
aria, and unto the uttermost parts of
the earth." Theirs also is to be pow-
er from on high to perform that work.
It was not for them to know "times
or seasons," the time or manner of
His returning again and setting up a
kingdom upon earth'. They were still
hoping for the restoration in Palestine
of the kingdom of David. It is sig-
nificant that Jesus neither denies nor
affirms that hope. But He bids them
to be witnesses for Him in all the
world.- We are not wiser than our
Master. ]Jet us leave off, therefore,
! vain and' foolish speculations about
times• and seasons of His corning, and
set ourselves to the fulfilment of our
mission, the mission handed down to
us from the apostles, in obedience to
our Lord's last command. And may it
not be that in this very way, by carry-
ing His Gospel in the power of His
Spirit to all the world, that we shall
not only prepare the way for and
hasten Ibis coming again, but actu-
ally bring it to pass as a spiritual
fact, a spiritual Presence, the domin-
ant and vitalizing force of Christ in
the Spirit putting all enemies under
his feet, and asserting His final and
everlasting dominion over the minds
and hearts of men?

there was persecution and they fled
to "the.cities- of-Lycaonia." •
14t 8-20. "At Lystra." The power
which Jesus had promised was some-
times manifested in Paul, as in ,Tesus
Himself, in works of healing. Here,
in. Lystra, he made a cripple stand
on his feet and walk, The-., Gentile
people marveled, and thought that he
and Barnabas must be gods in human
form, There was a story current at
that .time in that country that certain
of the gods had visitedthen?; and it
was natural that they should become
greatly excited over what they now
supposed to be their return.
'Similar things have happened in our
own day, where missionaries: with the
healing skill of modern medical
science, or with the methods and ap-
pliances of modern chemistry and
physics and engineering, have seemed
to the simple folk they were trying to
aid to have supernatural power. The
story is told of a Scotch medical offi-
cer with the British army of occupa-
tion in Mesopotamia who had been
able to treat successfully many cases
of blindness among the Arabs. "The
result is that he is beset by the blind:
People come leading blind relatives
and friends from miles and miles
away." In some cases cure is im-
possible, but "they think he could cure
them all if lie wanted to. They even
go so far as to make prayers• to dint
and try to propitiate him with gifts,
as though he were some kind of god."
And indeed the missionary is often,
as Paul and Barnabas•were, in the
place of God to such people. He
brings to them some true knowledge
of God, and exemplifies his teaching
by his daily life and by the service
he renders them. Yet he seeks no
honor or worship for himself, hut only
for the God whose representative he
is. Here the apostles "scarce res-
trained" the people from offering sac-
rifice to them. Nothing could more
effectively demonstrate the pitiful
need of humanity for that which ,the
Christian missionary can bring.
In order to accommodate the Cana-

of the paintings' are over 20 feet long,
