Speaking generally, farm- -ers would make more money from both eggs and poultry by properly preparing and packing these products.

Insects Injurious to Live Stock. - Heavy losses are incurred as the direct result of insect pests on all' classes of live stook, and stock men . must be continually on the watch to keep them from doing harm. Per- haps the most logical way to prevent Injury is in the direction of the pro- tection of stock ,from tidies and other insects, not so much by the use of remedies, but by assisting stock to escape from attack. Particular sties Is laid on this aspect of the subject in Bulletin No. 29 of the Dominion Dept. of Agriculture, entitled "Insects Affecting Live Stock " Had a Lot on His Mind.

MEDICINES NEEDED. All medicines for animals on the farm should be kept in a trunk, pr close, dark, locked cupboard. Powder- ed drugs•• should be kept in airtight containers; such aS sterilized fruit jars. Fluids should be kept in stop- pered or tightly corked bottles or jugs. All dregs should be plainly labelled and, if dangerous, should be marked "poison." Throw away any , drug if the label is lost and you are not sure what the drug is. A glass graduate will be needed for measuring liquids; a scales for weigh- ing quantities; a pestle and mortar for powdernig And mixing; a flour sifter for mixing powders and remov- ing lumps and coarse -particles; a plate glass or slate slab and spatula for mixin'• ointments' tin boxes ,as containers, and a supply of clean bot- tles and corks. The veterinarian may ,need and use these conveniences on many occasions. All drugs kept. an the farm should be simple and safe. The trained vet- erinarian uses anany strong drugs, alkaloidal poisons and biologic pre- parations called serums, vaccines, and bacterins which can not properly be given by the stock/nen. It would be well to get from a•veterinarian some colic drenches for use in cases of emergency; - DOSES FOR LIVESTOCK. Doses, (alkaloids excepted) : One- half as much again for cattle as for horses; one-half, as much- again for sheep and goats as pigs; one-half as much for cats ds dogs.

FOR WOUNDS AND Y,TIRE oiree. Coal tar disinfectants and dips are popular. They make a soapy emul- sion when soft water is poured upon them. There are many of such pre- parations, including zenoleum, kei•so, chloro-naphtholeum, germol, creolin, etc. Each should be -used *strictly as directed by thegnanufacturerearid for the conditions and ailments mention- ed in his printed matter. From 1 to 5 gallons of such a disinfectant or dip should be found on every farm. The attending veterinarian will direct as to the use of such other disinfectants as bichloricie of mercury, carbolic acid, etc. Permanganate of potash crystals, boric acid and tincture of iodin should also have a place in the farni medicine chest. The latter is especially valu- able for putting on wounds. Boric acid in 4 per cent. solution is excel- lent as a solution in which to immerse sore ,teats.

The Sermon on the Mount, M —Thy kingdom come. Thy L THE TRUE NATURE OF FRAYER, 5-8. II. THE EXAMPLE OF PRAYER GIVEN BY JESUS, 9-15. , INTRODUCTION—We have been see- ing that the 'Kingdom of God formed the constant theme of our Lord's teaching, and we have heard of the divine "authority" with which he oke Mark 1-22 The teaching of Jesus was different from that of the ecribes, for while the scribes based their teaching on tradition, Jesus spolee from 'direct knowledge and ex- perience of God.' His words laid hold on men with a "power" unprecedented in their experience, and created an I iminediate sense of .the nearness and the reality of divine things. In the Sermon on the Mount, from which our lesson for to -day is selected, the first evangelist gives us a great illustration of this teaching of Jesus. He wishes us to tnow- ow preached the gcispel of the ldrigdom, and, therefore, he places before hs in succession: :- 1. The Invitations or Pronnses of the Gospel. • These are what wenenotv as the "Beatitudes" describing the character of those to whom Jesus of- fers the Kingdom, Matt. 5:1-12. 2. The Holy Law of the Kingdom, Matt. 5:12 to 7:1.ae TheKingdom of God implies the doing of God's will on earth, as it is done in heaven, and Jesus shows what this means with reference to (1) the,legal teaching of the scribes Matt. 5:17-48, (2) the re- ligious practice of the Pharisees, Matt. 6:1-18 (3) the concerns and cares of the world, Matt. 6:19-34. 3. The Urgency of Repentance, Matt. 7:13-27. Our present lesson on prayer comes from the second section of the sermon, in which Jesus is con- trasting the holy nature of true reli- gion' with the caricature of religion which is practiced bY the Pharisees. The Pharisees give alms, pray and fast, but their. piety is a .hallow un- reality, for everything is done with an eye to human rePutations and re- wards, not for the sake of the Father in heaven, who sees in secret The Pharisees do not behold God as he is, OT their lives and their religion would be humble and sincere. In the pres- ent passage Jesus 'speaks of prayer, and of what it ought to he. L THE TRUE NATURE 01? PRAYER 5-8. V. 5. The Pharisees • are "hypo- crites," that is, actors in religion. PietytWith them is a -thing of outward show, rather than -a reality of the heart. For example, they pray in public in the synagogue, while the congregation is listening, or at the street corner, where there are men to see. It is far easier to pray thus than it is to pray in secret, and the Phar- isees earn the approbation of men. This, however, is their only reward. They cannot expect to be heard or rewarded by the Father in heaven, when they 110,11ST think of that Father in heaven, never once make him real e6ir. Coweenisiltilainndsp.reyer on the Other hand is is to be in- the secret of one's own life, within cloaed doors, where men are 'forgotten, and only God is real. It is •so easy to Jet our minds dwell on men: it is hard to fix them on God and on him alone. Yet it is this kind of prayer—the prayer of a soul to which God is real, and to which he is all in all-ethat brings an answer artil,sa.:778w.acrdh:ristian.pruer should he: simple, avoiding the formality the "babbling," with which the heathen pray to their gods. We are to go to God as children to a Father, and above all to renlize that•God knows us and our nee e ore we open our lips.

Yet our earthly necessities also are a matter of concern to th6 , heavenly Father, and we should pray for each day's bread. Jesus would not turn stones into bread, because he honored the Father's mode of creating and providing this elemehtal neces- sity. And Specause we, too, are to labor in accordance with the Father's lawswe an as at the gift of bread. should crown the toil of the day. We ask for "daily" bread, because it is enough that Gad should provide for each day as it comes. V. 12. But we need constant for- giveness, and we inust.pray also for this, rerhembering, too, that to obtain the divine forgiveness, we must' put away from our: own hearts all traces of an unforgiving spirit towards our fellowmen. The grace of forgiveness can flow to us only as we let the siame spirit have an outlet in our dealings with,those around us. V. 13. The Christians will pray not t6 be led into temptation but to be kept from evil.' This does not 'Mean that God is the authoe of temptation, for temptation has its source and its power 'in ourselvee and ih the world. (See James 1:13, 14.) But God is able to save us from and amid temptation, inasmuch as "the kingdom, and the power, and the glory," belong to him. Vs. .14,- 15. The fact that we can truly pray only when we put away the unforgiving spirit from ourselves, is emphasized anew. We do not for- give others in order to obtain God's forgiveness. Nevertheless, God's for- giveness only takes effect on as as we pass on the seine spirit of mercy to- wards our fellow -men. APPLICATION. Matthew's Gospel deals with king Jesus and his kingdom of human souls. The Sermon on the Mount gives us the laws of that kingdom, and this lesson in particular tells us how to pray as good subjects of that king- dom. Homage to our king is a very important part of our religion. • Our Lord first gives two injunc- tions how not th pray. Men has been described as the praying animal. :When we go forth from our solitude to meet our fellows, We feel challeng- ed to put our best foot forward. No wonder that prayer has been regard- ed as the highest function of the hu -- man spirit. Nevertheless the corrup- tion of the best may become the worst. Hence the warning how not to pray,. " We are not th pray aS the hypo- crites do. The Pharisees were the most religious element in the nation. One of the sins of the saints is to affect a piety they do not feel,—to masquerade upon, the ethical plane. All worship is true and real in pro - Portion as the worshipper is absoebed in the honoring of his God. I -We are isot to pray as the heathen do. Now, the difference between the god of the heathen and the d of the Christian is a difference of love. The heathen feared, and the Christian exercised faith in his God. The heathen thought to propitiate his god with much speaking. This is a kind of atonement wrought • out by man himself for himself.

We see it in the leaves' and feel it in the air. Already the appetite is' getting in training for the great event of the year—Thanksgiving. If you have turkeys and want the top prices for them, a few tips broadcasted by the Dept. of Agriculture will find you interested. The experts say that range fatten- ing is more satisfact6ry than pen fat- tening. Begin fattening about three weeks or a month before marketing, and proceed gradually by feeding lightly on corn in the morning and again m the evening a short time be- fore the turkeys 0 . go t roost Increase the quantity of corn fed gradually until the birds are getting all they will eat. Be careful not to feed new corn too heavily until the turkeys have become accustomed to it, to pre- vent digestive troubles. Good-sized, well -matured birds in good condition for fattening can often be marketed to best advantage at Thanksgiving. Small, immature tur- keys should be held until Christmas, for further fattening, but if the birds are 'unthrifty inasiket them at once. Sales outlets to raisers within ex- press shipping distance of good mar- kets are local consumers, local buyers and dealers, more distant buyers or dealers and carlot shippers, and re- ceivers or commission merchants of live or dressed poultry in the large 'cities. To determine the best avail- able outlet study shipping charges and keep in touch with both local and dis- tant buyers as to price. Distant buy- ers will mail quotations on request Most producers market their tur- keys alive. Shipping dressed turkeys to markets is justified only when mak- ing local sales or there is an unusually favorable outlet for the dressed pro- duct. Shipping coops should be high enough to enable the birds to stand up. A coop three feet long, tw-o feet wide' and twen±y inekes high will a connuodate live or aix turkeys, 'Over- crowding may result ie braising, and complete 15$=, pfwo evi io.dlotet:risrdh,,ai enedytgoa f: nu. ro ooa etynn alsotedroad beforeocaaal 'duiseaetor deathas.nhl gtepe If the birds are on the road only a time water and feed liberally to Pre- vent shrinkage in weight. Ship in time to place the turkeys on the marltet a day or two before the holiday. Late arrivals may reach an overstoelted market, and arrival after the holiday usually means lower -prices. Killing and dressing birds is simple when properly done. Hang up the turkeys by their legs and with a single stroke push the point of a sharp lonie up through the roof of the mouth into the brain. When properly done this operation paralyzes the bird and loos- ens the ferethers so that they come out easily. Then sever the veins in the throat just beyond the skull for bleeding. The turkey should be dry- " picked and plucked clean. Thoroughly cool the carcass after plucking; in- asmuch as failure te remove all ani- mal heat promptly will result in early spoilage. Cool either by hanging out- doors if the 'temperature is between thirty and forty-five degrees, of by immersing in cold intoning spring water or ice water. When thoroughly chilled, the car- casses are ready for shipment. A bar- rel is a convenient shipping container. Place a layer of cracked ice in the bottom of the barrel, then a layer of turkeys, followed alternately by lay- ers of ice and turkeys, and topped off with a layer of ice. Tack burlap over the top of the barrel. CAUTION. If you are building up a permanent turkey business be sure to retain as many of the fieest, largest, quickest growing young birds needed to rear the eext year's flock and send the rest to market.
