The best time to sow sweet clover
Is in the spring. Have your sod

in the spring. Then sow the sweet

barley or wheat.
As to quantity of seed to use, I
would advise front *eight to ten

Fifers rauch lime should be applied Per

Answer:—Appyethe lime to your
plowed soil hnmediately after plow-
ing; work it in by disking and har-
rowing. Any broadcasting machine
will distribute lime, I would not
apply less than a ton of ground lime
stone to thence. If you are using
air -Slaked burnt lime half a ton to
the acre will be sufficient
In order to ensure a good catch of
clover you should supplement the
above treatm•ent of the soil by apply-
ing about 250lbs. of fertilizer at the
time the grain and grass mixture is
sown. The lime corrects the sour-
ness of the soil; it does not feed the
crops. Fertilizer, on theothenhand,
is a. carrier of soluble plant food. It
invigorates the early growth of the
crap and in numeroas cases has been
shown to not only give a large profit
in the additional grain which is her-
-vested, but it actually has ensured a
strong and y;gorous growth of grass,.
Una clover. '
The fertilizer must not be mixed
with the lime, It should be applied
either through the fertilizer dropper
of the grain. drill, if you can get a
drill which accomplishes both the
drilling of the seed and the sowing
• of the fertilizer, or the fertilizer may
be applied broadcast just before you

Grasping Golden Moments
of Ch-ildhood
• A child'e progress is marked by
moments—gelden moments, drab mo-
ments, moments which mean little and
moments during whieh the whole
foundation of future charaeter 13 laid.
It is for such. moments as the latter
that parents should lie in wait, ready
to take advantage of them ere they
flit away, and to place good 'brick on
good briele to form the .firm foundation
for the years to come.
Just when these all-itnportant mo-
ments may come no one ean tell, but
sooner or later they are sure to ap-
pear, and once allowed to slip by un-
noticed they may never again present
themselves. Pity, generosity, confi-
dence, truth, repentance—all appear
first as moments. On the parents it
depends whether the feeling Ise stifled,
killed at birth, or tenderly nurtured
into a thriving virtue.
Nothing the young child's mind has
to grapple with is much harder than
the subject of truth. "What is the
teuth?" he asks again and again.
Patiently and at length you explain,
oiting example after example simple
enough for him to follew, Apparently
he understands; yet the next day he
breaks a dish, pethaps, and insteaci of
coming to you and telling you of the
accident he hides the pieces, and you
come upon them .only by chance.
-Questions follow. At first may come
denial, followed by admission. Truth
comes out eventually, but you wonder
why not at first. Perhaps you des-
pair of the child's ever learning the
full meaning of the truth.
Then One day there comes a rare -
golden moment, fraught with oppor-
tunity. You are upstairs; thereis a
crash. A moment later a sobbing
little -figure climbs the stairs and
bursts in upon you with a full con-
fession.. He had climbed up on a chair
to get something off the shelf and had
knocked downand broken a vase. He
is son.", He Imews he ought not to
have dame itl And alone, of his own
free will, he makes a clean breast
of the accident. - Hard though the
confession is, he has made it—he has,
told the truth!
Scolded, severely reprimanded, at
that time, the child might never again
tell thet. ruth
readily, so freely.
His mind is in a peculiarly receptive
condition. Impressions made at that
thne evill be lasting, Ttraeed, comfort -
ted, praleed for telling the truth,
though rdmincled of his naughtiness
in disobeying by teaching up to the
shelf, the child will have a new feels
ing of what truth means. Thereafter
'truth4elling will be easy, for the first
brick in the foundation of a truthful
character will have been firmly laid
in that one precioui moment.
In the same way .can generosity be
fostered. It is natural for children
to be selfish; therefore it 18 hard for
them to understand why they mast
give up things they want themselves,
You may talkabout generosity until
the 'child shares his toys begrudgingly;
but, unlese the mind be in a receptive
mood, it is like talking into a phono-
graph with no wax record attached
—no impression, is recorded. Yet, if
you are watchful, some day you will
find yourself in the presence of a big
moment. 'Urged by some unknown
impulse, the ehild yeu have thought
incurably selfish is seen to give away
his biggest apple, making a very real
-sacrifice. And. that is the opportunity
long waited for. While the child is
flushed with the joy of his first big
sacrifice, bestow on hixu a full share
of praise, enlarge upon the happiness
one feels from being generous- His
mind is in a receptive mood; the wax
record is inplace and the impression
made will last forever.
Thus it is with the defiant child, the
one who never seems to care when he
has been naughty or met with some
accident, Some day, when you are least
expecting it, he will melt to a peni-
tent "I'm sorry." Be ready for that
quiet confession, and make the most
of that moment. On your attitude
may depend the whole future course of
"his disposition.
Many moments such as the fore-
going eome but once. Be ready to
deal with them whenever and wher-
ever they appear. Truth, generosity,
the spirit of helpfulnese, penitence,
compassion—all are bricks in the
building of character. Leave them
alone to place themselves and your
house will totter on an unstable
foandation; butetake each brick and,
at the proper moment, set it firmly in
place, and you will be :forming a firm
foundation for a character strong
enough to withstand all the storms of
the years to come.
abuse, had richly deserved punishment,
but it would have been in harmony
with David's better nature, and a bet-
ter example for his son if he had
marked his last hours by acts of for-
giveness and mercy, rasher than by
such bloody Injunctions.
Soon'there was evidence that Ation-
ijah's presumption was not yet ended,
i and in a fit of anger Solemn ordered
his death. In this, however, and in
obeying his father's commands, Solo-
mon appears to have believed that he
was acting justly, and not only free-
ing his throne fromnianger, but also
freeing himself from respon3ibilety
for the crimes of Joab and Shimei, See
2: 31-44. So, he declares, Ring Solo-
mon shall be blessed, and the throne
of David shall be established before
the Lord for ever.
One must learn to look upon the
character and deeds of- David and
'Solomon with an appreciation and
understanding of theb b•
in which they lived, of the primitive
ideas of social order and justice which
then prevailed, and of the turbulent,
violent, and unscrupulous character
of some of the men with whom they
had to deal. David confessed on one
occasion that his netihews, Joab and
Abishai, were too hard for him. He
could not control them. Thus, while
we must not for a moment condone
deeds of cruelty and revenge, we shall
be able to understand better the
causes of such deeds and not pass
hasty or harsh Judgments.

There. There was, of course, the ark
and. its, sanctuary in Jerusalem, but
Jerusalem had not yet- acquired the
sacredness in the eves of all the people
which it had centuries later. Neither
was the law of Deuteronomy (chap.
12) yet in force, which eonfined all
worship to the one place. But at
Gibson there was thetreat high place,
a famous and much -frequented sanc-
Amery. The writer of Chronicles says
that "there was the tabernacle of the
congregation of God which Moses, the
servant of the Lord, had made in the
wilderness." The multitude of sacri-
flees which Solomon offered there was
accompanied, no doubt, by much feast-
ing on the part of the large company
who went with him. (2 Chron, 1: 1-6.)

by no means unusual for, one man with a
Macartney double unit' to milk a herd of this
size in less than an hour.
What this means in dollars and ceets is easily illustrated. The
average person milks about 8 cows an hour, by hand. Figur-
ing wages and board at 25 cents an hour, handmilking one cow
costs about 3 centse6r 75 cents for the entire herd. Twice a
day for 365 days means a wage expense of $547.50.
At 25 cents an hour the labor cost per cow with the Macartney
Milker works out at I cent, or 25 cents per day. Twice a day
the year 'roundl this would mean a milking cost of $182.60, or a
yearly saving of $365.00 through the use of the Macartney
Machine Milker.
Simple figures but very expressive. And remember that MaeartneY meona

had some realization of the greatness
and complexity of the task of govern-
ment. He wanted to do well, to judge
rightly, to discern between good and
evil. He believed that such under-
standing and such power was a gift
of God. The speech pleased the Lord.
It seems strange to us that 'Solomon
should be assured by the Lord that
there had not been and would not be
one like him, and one is tempted to
believe that theze words have been
added by the historian. And yet, is it
not true, as a matter of history, that
Solomon's name stands alone and
unique? There has not been one like
him. He combined in a remarkable
way in himself piety, learning, luxury,
and love of splendor.

BABY.
A series of instructive articles constituting, when completed, an
entire course on baby hygiene and care of the child up to six
or' seven years old. Mothers are urged to read the articles
as published, and cut them out for future reference. The
information has been Prepared by physicians who have made
the welfare of the child a life study.
SEVENTH ARTICLE,
Sleep, Play and Rest.
The child's body develops faster dur-
ing the firet year of his Efe than at
any other period. For that reason a
baby needs a large allowance of sleep,
with the hest sleeping acommodatione,
so that the hours of sleep may be
of greatest value to him.
Baby should sleep alone. Babies
may be smothered to death while in
bed with an older person, same part
of whose body may be thrown over
baby's face while asleep. The young
baby should sleep eighteen or twenty
hours out of the twenty-four. He
+should have sixteen hours' sleep daily
front a month to the age of one year.
From the first to the second year he
thould have twelve hours. A baby
should have the :longest period of un-
broken sleep at night and should not
he permitted to turn night into slay.
Daytime—The daytime naps should
be continued through the sixth year,
The baby should neer take a nap in
all his clothes. The shoes of older
children especially should be removed.
In hot weather remove all but the
shirt and diaper from the baby.
The sleeping room should be dark-
ened and weld ventilated. The baby_
should be fed and made comfortable
in every way; put in his crib and let
alone to go to sleep. He should never
be rocked to sleep nor jolted or
bounced.
Out of doors—Out of door sleeping
in summer, both by day and by night
is good for baby after he is a month
old. He must be protected from flies,
mosquitoes, shielded from the wind
and sun and covered if there is a sud-
den drop in temperature. The sleep-
used, and give one room to the little
folks Who will use it every day.
Sunshine is as necessary fer babies
as for plants. A baby not given sun-
shine will droop and pine jut as the
plant does. Therefore, choose a sunny
room for the baby's room and one
which has windows and doors- en op-
posite sides so that a eontinual, abun-
dant supply of fresh air may be ob-
tained.
The baby's room ehould be kept
eomfortably warm in winter. Furnace
heat is better than stoves. Oil and
gas stoves exhaust the air in a short
time. An open grated' is a great con-
venience both for the additional heat
and because it helps to keep the air
of the room in circulation. The floor
should be bare so that it ean be kept
clean by wiping it with a damp cloth
or dust mop. A few washable rugs
may be added. Plain white sash eur-
tains should be provided at the win-
dows, as they can be laundered fre-
quently.
Fresh ,Air—Fresh air is essential for
the healthy baby. To obtain, the beat
air without drafts put baby's bed in
the middle of the room. The windows
may be opened from the tap. They
should be screened against flies and
disease -carrying insects. Windows fac-
ing the hot sun should be provided
with awnings. In the winter tune, a
plentiful supply of fresh air without
drafts may be obtained by tacking
thin muslin or cheesecloth over the
open windows or ori the window screen.
This also keeps out particles of eteal,
soot, dirt and snow.
All the furnishings for the baby's
room should be of the simplest kind
and such as can be wiped readily with.
a damp 1 th �r laundered, and 90
ing porch must be protected properly kept free from dust. The equipment
may include a ,screen to protect baby

is a welcome convenience.

Better Homes Make Better
Forms.
Much good has been said.about the
value of good, hoiney farm homes, but
few can express it better than an ob-
servant farmer who spoke on the sub-
ject in this way: "The farmer who puts
as much thought on the modernizing
of his home as he does on the im-
provemant of his livestock, barns and
equipment, is getting the most value
out of life. Better homes make better
farms. The connection is easily fol-
lowed oshen you see how geed terra -
lug follows the modernizing of the
farm homes where comfort and con-
venience are the objects sought alter."
I don't know whether you ever
noticed it, but fhlleti whe liye sate a
good home have a different expression
on their faces from those who drudge
along with inconveniences. The work
about any farm home is not light.
When the small tasks that make up
the clay's work are divided among half
a dozen members of the family we do
not notice them so much, but if sud-
denly all tasks are shifted bo one or
two pair e of shoulders they become a
heavy 'burden
In many home, one 'pair of shoulg
dere is carrying the burden that ought
to be shared by other. Is it any
wonder that many fsirrn wonien and
r44 are unable to ornile happily when
a day's work is done? Tired, worn -
tut companions are seldom good com-
pare', and weary folks often get the
e "eeeeective of life.

EVIDENCES OF
CHRISTIANITY
A man wilco wasmach- discoereged

whether Christ was really the prome
ised Meseiah, or whether people were
to look for smotherlie got a power-
ful reply. "The blind receive their
sight, the lame walk, the lepers are
eleansed, the dead are raised up, and
the poor have the gospel preached
to them." He did riot say He gees the
Messiah, He simply eabrnitted the evi-
dence, and let His friend draw his
own conclifsions. Is this kind of work
done now? Or has the church lost
the power? Many will instantly re-
ply that all miracles are impossible.
Others will declare that the church
coulthnot restore sight to the blind or
raise the dead in a thoasand years.
It is true that the general power a
healing and sniracle working seemed to
pass away with apostolic days, Yet
even then not all people were cured,
St. Paul says, "Trophimus have I left
at Miletum sick." Why did he not cure
Trophimus? He Also states that he
himself was afflicted with a serious
disorder, which he was told to bear,
and which would not be healed. And
we must remember also that people
are healed by faith now. Perhaps
healing is not as common as tt might

of humanity came to live in that home,
