Common dump At the present time good live stock is :bringing good prices for food pur- poses; but we can not see but what the man who is breeding pure-bred farm animals of quality, will get very high prices for all the animals he can spare for breeding stock for several years to come. - -The possibilities of the live stock farmer are almost unlimited and al- most unbelievable.. The men who are getting results in their breeding op- .erations are reaping rich financial re- wards; cattle, horses, sheep and hogs of quality and that are typical of theii type are bringing enormous prices; there seems to be scarcely a limit to the prices that men will pay for breed- ing animals in an effort to increase the value of their herd and its pro- geny.

Social Reepone�ihility—Luke 10: 2.i-37 r Gal. 6: 2, 9, 10; James 2: 14-16. Golden Text, Gal. 6: 10. Luke 10: 26-87. What Shall I Do? That is quite naturally the lawyer's question. That is the question of many who are seeking guidance from the Church to -day in matters of social unrest and change, "What shall we do to save society?" '-The answer must be Christ's answer, "Love God and love thy neighbor'." Within the Church there will be, as there has al- ways been, differences of opinion, dif- ferences of judgment, on political or social systems. Where the law of love prevails there will be friendly inter- change of opinion, there will be earn- est and patient study of the problems involved, and there will be always regard for the interest, the well-being, and the point of view of those who differ. Out of such friendly and brotherly relations, true progress will come. The best -planned' system of reform or change may prove imper- fect. It may' have its day and cease to be. But love abides, the unalter- able law of God. "Love never faileth." Who Is My Neighbor? is the earn- est inquirer's next question. To whom does this law of love apply? Does it apply to an alien, a foreigner, an enemy, a rival? Does it apply to a man of another race, or color, or creed? The parable of the good Sa- maritan is the answer. Your neigh- bor is the one who suffers, the one who has been ill-treated, the one who needs your help and whom you can help. The Samaritan proved himself neighbor to fellow who had thepoor fallen among thieves. _It need not be difficult to apply the teaching of the parable to present conditions. If we meet from day to day those who suffer from any cause, whether they have been robbed, or insufficiently clothed or housed or fed, or unable to have the comforts or decencies of life for their children, or tar broken in health, or mentally de- ficient, or without faith and hope in God, we have found our opportunity to obey the law of love.. These are our neighbors. What have we done, what shall we dos to help them?. To be interested, to feel responsibility, to seek to understand and sympathize and help in the wisest and most ef- fective way, is possible for us all. To pray for power and wisdom to help is our privilege. It is in connection with this very question of right and help- ful relations with those about us that Jesus uttered the great promise of Matt. 7: 7, "Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you." See Matt. 7: 1-12. Priest and Levite thought only of their own interest and their own se- curity. They put self-interest first. The Samaritan thought first of his duty to the sufferer. Love -prompted his willing and ready effort to help and to heal. The exhortation of James (2: 14-16) is to the same effect. No profession of faith, or good words, will take the place of loving deeds. Our faith will be surely tested by our treatment of those who have need. A little self- denial on our part will always make possible that greatest happiness, the happiness of ministering to the needy rakes are not so satisfactory. If some of the leaves are still green, the beans may be allowed to lie on the field for a few hours before piling. Otherwise, they should be placed in small piles or windrows soon after pulling. The piles should be built high and rather small at the bottom to insure quick curing. Beans should be left in the pile :for a week or tw o until they are sufficiently dry. It is considered a good indication that the beans are ready for storing in the barn when pressing with the. thumb leaves but a slight impression on the bean. Rain, while the beans are in the pile, will not injure the beans if they are turned fiver after the storm. They should be handled as little and as care- fully as possible in order to avoid shelling. . When the beans are thoroughly dry they .should be stored in a barn to await threshing. They should not be tightly packed in the mow. They may be left until ready to be threshed by hand or machinery. Failed to Co-operate.

The signs are right then for a good house-cleaning. Stir up or renew the litter. Hens relish fruit, especially apeles, plums, and other fruits that so often go to waste. It does not matter if the fruit is decayed; rotten apples never injured chickens. The seeds of apples are a dainty and palatable article of diet. Different kinds of grain at ould be placed in different hoppers, so . the hens can mix the feed as they want it. Sometimes they need more of one kind than another. I like that plan better than mixing the grains and pouring them all into the same hop- per. Buckwheat and millet sown togeth- er (about one-fourth buckwheat) make an inexpensive poultry food.
