CHIL Consistency is one of the funda mental qualities of diseipline, and teem my own experience I have found It to be most important. It 'should al- ways be accompanied by kindness.

The value oel consistency cannot be over-estimated. The tiniest baby should be dealt with kindly, but firm- ly. A mother candevelop the teasing habit in her child while he is still in the cradle if she lacks this quality of coneistency. At one time when her baby cries She does not pick him up far she says, "It is n.ot good for him and he is forming bad habits."

The general result is that yielding capacity of. the sail is materially increased by the practices I have suggested, is grown and. harvested takes out a definite amount of plantfood. It is thought by those who are partially in- formed that clover will maintain the fertility of the soil. If the clover crop is grown and cut, in all probability the nitrogen of the soil will not be lowered because clover, by virtue of its root structure, has the capacity to fix a certain amount of nitrogen in the soil. It takes from the soil phos- phoric acid and potash and has no power whatever to add to the soil's stock of these ingredients, therefore if a clover crop is grown, phosphoric acid and potash must be added if you are going to maintain the stock of fer- tility in the soil. This is not the only way of looking at the fertility question. Nature has provided a great stock of plantfood material in the soil. If by proper ro- tation. of crops you can grow a clover crop once in three or four years, you add to the fertility of the soil as I have described. If at the same time you are able to apply a certain amount cf manure to each of the tilled fields VINICMalla.•••••• to apply lime is to soil where a catch of clover or any other legume is de- sired. The benefit of its application under these conditions is evident since legumes like sweet _soil. K. H.:—Will you kindly explain what tankage is, and what is its feed- ing value for hogs and cattle? Answer:—Tankage is a mixture of meat scrap and general waste from the carcasses of butchered animals at the stock yards. • This material Is cooked and the grease removed. In this process the liquid is drained off and the solid material is dried and ground. It analyzes 5.75 to 10% nitro- gen and from 2 to 10% phosphoric aced. The material is exceedingly valuable as a source of protein for hogs, also some at times is fed to sheep. The protein in a ration is that part of the food which causes the pro- duction of flesh • and muscle in the animal. In various experiments the use of tankage has proven highly valu- able in hastening the growth and ma- turity of hogs. It is also fed in limited quantities to poultry with ex- ceedingly good results. nagging mothers and unattractive, ner- vein children would he almost un- known if the former could realize the importance of kindness and consist- ency. Lack of sympathy and strained relations between parents and their older children often spring from habit- ual inconsistency. Perhaps the most important thing of all is this. When you make a le- gitimate request you must know with- in yourself that you expect it to be carried out. Then if you are disobey- ed you must calmly. but definitely and emphatically, see to it that your re- quest is complied with.

Ogilvy, who Write -: .1 "The Breeders' Gazette" as follow.: "When I went to the stable I found the 16 and 17 hand horses in stalls not over 4 feet 6 inches ha width. There were a number of stocked legs, some big joints, and a listless air as though they had rested badly. - More- over, the stalls were damp, and they did not contain a sufficient amount of absorbent. Mature horses age quick- ly enough anyway, from the strains and vicissitudes of work. "What is the sense of aging them prematurely by not giving them room to stretch and lie at ease in the periods devoted to rest. Sixteen hands is 5 feet 4 inches. How can any horse Iie on his side and stretch in a stall less than that width? Yet horses are con- fined for weeks and months_ in pony Peas, and eXpected to come fresh to work in the morning. The heavier the horse the more work he needs. • A pony leg will outwear a draft leg any time, other things being equal. "There is a legend that horses sleep standing, which is true when they suf- fer from some disability that makes lying and rising distressful, or when they are exhausted and eahnot lie comfortably. tut that does not alter the feet that the leg belongs to the horse, and retist have the best treat- ment possible, or else It will wear out first. If one cannot afford etiough stall room or roomy enough stalls, they shcm1cI be used for feeding, end the horses turned loose in the yards, preferably with sheds in which to rest." So let us give a little thought to the way our horses tire housed, as well as oar machinery and traotora.

MARCH 21, John's Picture of Worship in Heaven —Revelation, 7: 9-17. Golden Text, Rev. 7: 12. 9. A Great Multitude. There is a difference, but not necessarily a con- tradiction, between this vision and the one preceding it (v. 1-8), It has been Suggested that the vision of the sealed members of the tribes of Israel niay have been drawn from an old Jewish apocalypse. In any case it contains the idea, so' agreeable to the mind of a Jewish Christian, that the Church of Christ is the new Israel, the Israel of faith (see Rom. 9: 6-8, "children of piomise"). And so God's promises to Israel are fulfilled in the salvation and future glOrY of the eintrolx, which may,. therefore,be pletered tie eouStiteted like the tribes of Iereel. lint in WS secontt vision of the great multitude the -redeemed are regarded lu a larger 118 CoUling- OUt ot all nattous, and kindreds, and people, and tongues.

Or there•maYbe a reference to Him of the saying of Isaiah (53: 7), "He was led ae e lamb to the slaughter." The angels about the throne take up the song and ascribe sevenfold praise to God (v. 12). Compare 5; 13, 13-17. One of the Elders, The elders appear in the throne vision of chapter t4, and appear to be angelic beings, such as the Jews conceived as form- ing a sort of heavenly court, or 'as ministers of the heavenly Xing. They must be taken simply as a part of the imagery of the vision -parables. Here one of these chief angels asks and then answers the apostle's question, This great multitude is the host of the redeemed, sayed, by the faith of Christ, cleansed from the corruption of sin by felliewship with His sufferings and by the power of His Spirit. They, too, have suffered, and have come up out of suffering to eternal victory. "They climbed the steep ascent of heaven, Through peril, toil, and pain: 0 God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train." In that blissful community of heaven suffering shall be no more—no more hunger, or thirst, or scorching heat, or wandering away, or weeping. Like a happy flock in rich pastures, Christ shall shepherd them, and as out of cool spriugs shall they drink waters of eternal life.

Although it did not solve all of the problems be- tween the producer and the consumer, still it hits' been a great convenience to the farmer. This year the parcel - post method: of xnarketing farm pro- duce has been tried more extensively in some sections. We have used it, and find it a very satisfactory method of marketing. Eggs can be shipped safely by par- cel post in the commercial carriers. The packages can be returned for a •few cents, and used for another con- signment. Even hatching eggs carry very well through the mail if they are properly packed. This year we had the report of only two eggs broken out of_ a large number of shipments, and many good hatches were reported. They were shipped in non -breakable containers holding either 15, 30, or 50 eggs each. Each egg is first wrapped in paper, and fitted securely i11 its sec- tion so there will be 110 room for jost- ling. Parcel -post packages of hatch- ing eggs cannot be sealed, as is the case with express shipments, but there seems to be little danger that the packages will ever be tampered with during the trip if the packages are tied with a stout cord. Another form of egg package con- sists of a box of hollow cylinders made of corrugated paper. There is a paper plug for each cylinder. Each cylinder holds one egg securely in plaee, and there is no chance for jostling. We have never heard ct an egg being broken in such a package when ship- ped by parcel post. Fresh butter is another product that carries very well be parcel post, Special containers can be procured, and arrangements made with city cus- tomers to take a, certain amouut each week or every other week. We have seen strawberries shipped by parcel Post, but they arrived in only fair con- dition. This may have been due to an over -ripe condition of the fruit. The boxes were also scantilyfilled, and of course the jostling of the trip caused them to settle, and this naade an inferior -looking package. If the de- livery man flatlet haul the fruit a long distance over his route before return- ing to the post office, we Would not advise the shipping ot small fruit by parcel post, except possibly as an ex- periment to please some city relative or friend, Poultry can be shipped by pareel post in the winter, and at least one city customer found that he could pur- chase fine beollers from a country friend and have them shipped through the mail, and the cost was still several cents under the retail price at kis local dealers,' The stock was fresh and far superior to cold -storage poultry, I One fault with shipping large amounts of produce by parcel post is the fact that the carriers who use a single buggy are not equipped to take the consigtnnents. One producer who tried the system said: "My mail carrier looks eo gad and sorrowful when I come out with a load of packages that I pity him, and it takes itbot fifteen Minutes to locate the parcelunder the seat and still leave enough rooni for the driver and the nefghborce This producer belieVed tlia,t the ear. rier _was displeased at being incon- venienced with parcel -post packages, and she did not wish to bother him. In our own experience we have found our carrier very friendly and accom- modating, and he has given the best satisfaction with all packages we have shipped. He has handled them care- fully, protected them with robes when It rained, .and frequently weighed and stamped them at the office and allow - ea us to pay him the charges. the next day. This has frequently been a great• convenience when we were busy, as it takes some time to weigh nu and stamp a number of .packages. How- ever, after a little experience and a study of the zone map, the farmer is able to figure out his own postage rates, and this saves time for the car- rier. Owning a pair of postal scales Is a great convenience to the farmer and the :nail man. They can be pur- chased for a moderate sum at most city stationery stores. The best method .ef using the par- cel post is first to ship to friends and relatives who are appreciative of quality goods. Then the number of customers may enlarged by adding the names of buyers nem are highly • recommended by people that are well known for their integrity, A Parcel -post business in garden or poultry products may mean some air- respendence, and this should be cut down to the 'minimum. The best method is to have an understanding - that so many dozen eggs or pounds of butter are to be shipped at regular in- tervals. Then do not take on too many customers, and be forced to cut , some of them out at the first shortage I of eggs or butter. it is 'best to have only regular customers that can sure- ly he supplied and then leave a sur- plus. There is always a market for that surplus, and it acts ae a reserve to keep the private customers supplied with their needs. Of course, special crops will need some telephoning or correspondence, and this must be taken into consideration when trying to market by parcel post al a profit. • The great advantage or the parcel - post is in saving trips to town.

He is too tired to drive down at 'night possibly before Saturday, The teams are busy during the day, and the wile does net Wish to drive down while it IS 80 hot Why not pack those eggs in sUbstantial parcel -pest containere and send them to the regular customers? The cost of the stamps will be far less • than the cost of the trip to town, Of- ten, in the winter, the roads are 1-4 and butter and eggs or a ,carrier, of fruit and Vegetables can be shipped. to a city consumer without loss. To the credit of the rural catriere ft might be said that the roads are selgorn bad eemigh to keep them at borne.

Canada to be Important Fur Market. Canada is now exporting tee other counties, according to Dominion Government figures, $14,000,000 worth of furs and skins -in the course of a year, and a number are brought back into the country, parchased. by Cana- dian dealers at foreign sales and re- sold to Qadadians. The value of furs and skins exported during the ftecal year 1918-1919 was $13,737,021. Of these $9,743,464 worth went to the United States, $3,763,955 to Great Bri- tain, and $230,202 to other countries. Some extent of the values to which these exports have risen can be ob- tained from the fact that the value of the export of furs and skins in 1917 was but $5,837,383. During the month of March, 1919, the value of these ex- ports was $2,080,704 as compared with $1,420,168 in the corresponding month In 1918. It has been estimated that eighty per cent, of the silver foxes of the world come from Canada, For nearly four centuries Canada has been one of the largest and most productive fields of the fur trade, and it is impossible to estimate the num- ber or the value of the costly pelta taken from the traps of the Dominion in this period. Yet, until quite recent- ly, the fur trade was hardly organized on a business basis, and beyond the trapping and taking of the furs • the various phases of the industry passed. out of Canadiau hands. Traders bought from the trappers and then the raw materials went to the large for- eign markets. There has gradually dawned a realization of the money lost in this Kidneys Wer;,,Vt,„ "'nu!'
