THE TRAGEDY OF IT The aim of the ,practical farmer s to increase his net profits. That s what the majority of us are in the tanning business for. In this respect, snany articles have been written on the advantages of high yields. An ex- aenination of costs of, and incomes from crops adds emphasis to the di- rect relation of yields to profits. Invariable high yields have as a chief basic condition a'` rich soil. The farmer who attempts to grow big crops on soil that lacks an abundance of potential plant food, as well as pro- per mechanical conditions, is taking a very long chance. As a eizactice, such an attempt has over and •over again proveii a failure. Thoughtful farmers everywhere have abandoned the idea. High -producing land is not only well supplied with all the chemical ele- ments required in plant growth, but it houses those elements in such form and coedition as to make them read- ily available, provides an optimum supply of nioisture, favors organic ac- tivities which replenishes the plant food supply as the season advances. It also absorbs sunshine readily, and -40. breathes in the gases of the air. In all. the soil conditions for the growth of maximum crops are extremely com- plex. Were they more simple, fertil- ity would not be the big problem it is. But, since it is complex and also essen- tial to successful handling of agricul- tural land, the farmer who fails to give attention to its solution will soon be a back number. The tragedy of it is that so few farmers actually succeed at increasing the productive capacity of the land they farm. •It is high time that more of us deliberately set about this big problem of providing a better soil for our crops. Crervai`ng Poultry Hoosos Mani: po u 1 tr y rite n experience year atteg year continued losses from ome" the most coin/non' polar' • iiiseeses tpeialIy thoee that are of an infece! limit type, such as chicker, pox, roup and canker. Many of these same loultrymen could absolutely eliminate these dis- eases if they would but pay greater and more constant attention to ques- tions of, skinitation. Though sanitation and cleanliness are 'important throughout the year, there is no time when they are more impoetant than in thki fell, Too many poultrymen nroceed in the manner of careless housekeepers who sweep the floor by brushing the dirt under the Btove or furniture. Such haphazard methods are really /l worse than athing, because they offer the birds absolutely no protection orfreedom from the germs of infectious diseases. , If you have not already practiced a . complete 'Cleanipg of your poultry house in the fall, make a resolution te do Fio this year., Here are the steps which must be accomplished in a complete renovation and cleaning of the house: The first step is to renieve perchee, dropping boards hoppees drinking v essels and equipment of like nature. These should be taken out of doors -in the sun for later cleaning and disin- fection. The next step is to remove all litt from the house. There aee a numb of ways of accomplishing this etre tively. If the manure spreader can be bacl ed up to the house and the menu loaded end hauled out on the rneado and spread broadcast, it is the quicl est, cheapest and most effective wa of getting rid of this material. In the first place, the litter is ric in poultry manure and nitrogen, an will show up in an increased yiel of hay the following season. In sma flocks where equipment is not avai able the litter should be bagged i large burlap bags and hauled awa and spread on the land Just as soo as possible. After having removed all fixture and litter, the next step is to dr clean the house. 'I'his involves th sweeping of the walls, ceiling and th entire floor' carefully and completel in order to eliminate all accumulation of dirt, cobwebs and other accumula ed filth. This.' must be done in considerabl detail to be sure to get in all crack and crevices and ' considerable pres sure on the broom will sweep oii much of the dirt and filth which other wise would he overlooked, . Pains should be taken to see tha dirt is gotten out of the corner's an around studding, in order to get th house just as clean as possible. Mus lin curtains should be beaten an swept to get all the dirtout of them This•step in the cleaning of the aver age poultry house is often neglected Best Way to Disinfect—Next come the most important step in the fal housecleaning. That includes the corn plete disinfection of the interior o the house. This should preferably b done with a spray -a although in smal poultry houses it can be brushed on with paint or whitewash brushes. The sprayer'however, puts the dis infectant'solution on with force, gets in craCks and crevices where the brush application would not be so effective. Where one has spraying apparatus for fruit trees on the farm, there is nothing. better than this equipment for spraying the interior of the poul- try house. lime, bet gees into solution reed upon adding the hot water, e• After the house has been thorough sprayed it ehould be allowed to d out for a day or two before the ne step in the fall housecleaning is uncle taken. - In the meantime the equiprae which was placetl out of doors shou be thoroughly cleaned, sprayed wi the same solution and replaced in t house. The windows should be was ed outside and in. Any broken equi ment or fixtures on or about the hou house has dried out the floor shou be covered with four to six inches good straw litter, and the nests shou be filled to a depth of one or tw filched with clenn shavings. The house is now ready for tl birds.' A clean, sweet, safe enviro ment is theirs.

Better still, ke a record of receipts and expenses well. Considering the small amount time regaired to keep a simple reco of this sort, there is probably nothin that you can do which will yield greater return in the direction of im provements in the poultry enterpris In no other way can accurate con parison be made of ene year's resul with another's. A record of past accomplishmen serves to make the daily care of th flock rnech more interesting, for on s then constantly striving to bette he previous year's record. The sati faction that comes from gathering o Thanksgiving Day 10 or 15 per cen more eggs than the flock laid one yea before cae be appreciated only by on who has actually experienced it. In a few years one will be able t hd establish, by means of the daily eg record, a sort of standard for his dstrain of hens and his particular con- ditions. A glance at the standard when collecting eggs will show how a the flock is measuring up at any par- ticular time, Similarly, the income and expense record gives a measure in dollars of S _ the progress of the poultry enterprise. Y- If catefully studied it will give the • key to many little ways of increasing e the yearly returns. t- Dynamite g`Don'ttS" e The list, should be memorized by s any one who uses explosives.

Cattle like the taste of soda and saltpeter, but other in- n gredients might make them ill or even , kill them.

Don't try to remove the wires from an electric blasting cap. Don't dig out a hole that holds a charge that failed to go off. Dig an- other hole for another charge at least two feet distant.

What have ye in mind?" "Seining it for seed grain," replied the miller eoolly, for he thought he was sure of his man. A ,vision swept before the mind of Macalphi, IVIisfortune had overtaken the settlement. Early frosts the year 'before had killed all the grain, and the last that his neighbors had had 'from the years before had long since gone to keep them and a few cattle alive. They looked into the future with dis- May. Macalpin, because he had farm- ed more extensively and had sturdy sons to helpi him, had &rain ,stored away from the previous years wben prices were low, and he had refused to sell his wheat at a los. Now the miller was offering him nuiney,beyond his dreams! 13ut in his vision Macal- pin saw the cold-hearted man going among his struggling' tieighbors men- aced by famine. mid extorting money from them, an& the cold sweat came out upon his brow. He would nit sell his wheat to this man! The next Sabbath morning, dressed In his best, McAlpin took his stand early by the gate of, the little kirk on the hillside, and as each fellow church- man and neighbor passed he, whisper. ed to him: "You can get seed grain at my place measure for measure. For each bushel you take at seed time you can bring me a bushel after harvest." After doing that for the members of his own congregation he_ sent his sons off to other churches in the neighbor- hood to make the same offer.

Health, Technical Education, Pro- gram Planning, and Herne and School Co-operation were the subjects occu- pying chief attention at the Annual Women's Institute Convention of Al- goma and St. Joseph's Ieland held at Sault Ste. Marie in October. It was a real gathering ground for the forces of progress that progressive part of Ontario with stimulating reports from the branches of things accom- plished during the year and discus- sions as to future plans. "The Women's Institutes are wel- come visitors to the Sault," said Mayor Dawson in his welcoming ad- dress. "We are interested in, the agricultural success of this district, are doing everything in our power to make it more prosperous, and gladly place this building and our services at your disposal now and at any time you decide to convene here." ' "We must try to give more voca- tional guidance, help the student to find out his tastes and talents, train him, and then help him to find his right vocation in life," said Principal Williams of the new Technical School in an illuminative address at the close of which a committee was form- ed to secure classes in woodwork for the boys and young men of the rural districts. "Pure water and good milk are most important .factors in good health for individual and community. Chlorin- ate the water and pastgurize the milk if you,have any doubts as to the ex- istence of typhoid or other disease - producing germs in either," said Medical Health Officer Dr. A. S. Mc- Caig in a very practical talk. - "Use fresh vegetables and fruit, get plenty of fresh air in the sleeping rooms. We are reducing tuberculosis and can still further reduce it by right living and treatment in the early stages. "Cancer is not hereditary. It can be successfully treated with surgery, X-rays and radium, if taken in time. Watch all lumps or sores which do no heal and have them attended to promptly!' "The Women's Institutes of Ontario are the first attempt made by a people to set up a State Department of Home -making and Community build- ing," said Miss Emily J. Guest of the Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto, "They represent something very fundament- al in nation-building-Lthe understand- ing co-operation of the man and the Woman in the home, the co-operation of the homes of the community with each other, with the school, with the farmers' organizations in the Branch InsteetiN,• and the co-operation of the individual and • the community with the college, the departments of State and the Government through the In- stitutes Branch of the Dept. of Agri- culture of each province." In their mutual help ,program the Inetitute begins with a study of the improvement of the individual, the home and then the community; how to achieve 100 per cent. efficiency in health through proper feeding, cloth- ing, rest, recreation; in work by train- ing and the exchange of usefel ex- periences; citizenship by studiies of the laws and how we are governed, evith surveys of the legislation passed by each government; in economics by the study of production, .preparation for market, markets. fair rewards for work, and Wise expenditure. The rural women had Made. great advances in the last ten years. In the matter of foods, for example, it was now a question of properly balanced as well as toothsome meals. An On- tario bachelor had recently criticized -a housekeeper: "She gave us corn and rice at the same meal. What do you think of that for unbalanced feeding now?" The Braanch Institute was not just a woman's club but a home -makers' Study Centreseeelated to the Dept. of Agriculture in much the same way as the public school was related to the Dept. of Education, locally self- governing, with its own trustees or board of directors, if in good standing as to membership, work, and reports receiving Government 'grants, liter- ature, lectures and short courses. Its advantages were open to all interest- ed in achieving better homes, finer people, a better community, a happier social life, and a more scientific agri- culture. EFFICIENT puBLic SERVICE. "We don't believe in waiting until people are dead to send them flowers in the North," remarked a delegate. "Send bouquets while they are alive to enjoy them," and the Convention resolutions: passed the following "We wish to congratulate Mr. G. A. Putnam, Supt. of Institutes for Ontario on the completion of twenty years' efficient service to the indi- vidual and community life of Northern Ontario. We trust that he may be spared for many years to come in this work." And "The delegates wish to express to the Honorable the Prime Minister, the Minister of .Agriculture, and Sup- erintendent Putnam our great appre- ciation of the services being rendered to the homes of this area through the Institutes Branch of the Dept. of Agriculture. The literature, lectures, and short courses are practical and very valuable, If we might add a request to our thanks we should like to have a manual training course for country boys and young men added. Also, if possible, that the sewing course be given on the same terms as the other courses!' NUGGETS FROm THE CONVENTION. The big thing is the little thing.

But from the statement that the quantities of broken pieces which remained filled the baskets of all the twelve disciples, it is apparent that this Is the thought by which the e event is explained. Yet if we only e it ink of the miraculous multiplicat 'tion of the material elements, we fail g short of a true understanding of the incident, and some have thought that e we ought to look on the whole incident e as a sacramental meal, signifying _ that it ,is not bread alone that satis- - fies, but Christ. This is in any case e the final truth taught by the incident. THE BREAD BROKEN. - Palestine bread is made in loaves • that look like big, heavy pancakes; ' one of them may be enough for a meal. They are half an inch thick and nine inches in diameter. They are not cut to be eaten; it is regarded as Wicked to use a knife on bread. It is always "broken" with the fingers. 1The Bible never speaks of "cutting" bread; bread Is always "broken." Lamentations 4:4 gives a picture of desolation and penury. Infants ask for bread, And no one is breaking it for them. When our Lord fed 5,000 people with five of these scones we read that after a blessing he "broke and gave 1the loaves to his disciples"; and he :did the same when seven loaves were used for 4,000 people. So in the Up- ' per Room Jesus "took bread, and blessed and brake it, and gave it to his disciples," When he was with the two disciples at Emmaus, "he took the bread, and 'blessed, and brake it, land gave to them." The Book of Acts 'tells us about believers "breaking !bread from house to house, aed the I apostle ' Paul r which we b eaaeksel:n": Ca: es o oNI, the "bread' IThis is the only miracle recorded by , all four evangelists. It must conse- I quently have been of very great im- portance as to immediate purpose and spiritual significance. What do we learn from this wonderful story? - HOW human in his sympathies was the Lord jesus Christ. He had such a passion for human souls that we are far too apt to think he cared about nothing else. He cared greatly about the bodies of men, their physical weariness and hunger. He had a true body himself, and was often weary and worn and hunggy. How superhuman in his essential nature was the Lord Jesus Chriat. Some of Jesus' miracles of healing might be explained away as examples of faith cure. But here, in the feed- ing of the five thousand with five over time, and thus a religious rnean ing• is imparted to it, Jesus acts b compassion, but not in compassio only. He wishes to give a "sigm" pa spiritual things. Ile sign is that me do not live by bread alone, but by th word of God spoken through him. is the blessing of Christ which le th present incident makes the bread suf &dent, Indeed Christ himself is th true bread of God. We ought, there fore, to think of the breaking of th bread in the wilderness after the sam manner in which we think of th Lord's Supper. Both incidents. ha apparently a sacrarnental significance I. MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, 1-7. This follows from the fact that th provision of ordinary bread in th present case is not sufficient. It ha. to be made sufficient by the blessin of Jesus. Vs. 1, 2. The eastern shore of th Lake of Galilee, to which Jesus her repairs for rest, is a wild and unin habited district. Nothing but an ex cited religious expectation would hay induced a great multitude to follow Jesus thereIn , but, as the evangelist ex plains, such an expectation existed The multitudes were excited by Jesus miracles of healing in which they see evidence of divine power. They are sure that great events are at hand and that the kingdom of God is at hand. But their expectation is still materialistic and worldly. Vs. 3, 4. Jesue site down on the hillside to teach. This is his method of dealing with the excited hopes and with the ignorance of his hearers. He wishes to wean them from material- istic thoughts of God's kingdom. The salvation which God is now awaiting to bestow is not an earthly, but a heavenly or spiritual good. The evan- gelist explains that the Passover was at hand. This indicates that in what now follows, Jesus is thinking of the Passover. He is to give thi, multitude a sacramental conception of the king- dom of God. Vs. 5-7. The first need of the multi- tude at the present moment is food. They have come the long journey without making any provision for bodily necessities. Jesus asks Philip how they are N obtain bread for all these many mouths., The question is not -due to any perplexity on Jesus' part, but to lead ghilip and the other disciples' to a deeper understanding of what Jesus now means N do. Philip answers by saying that the total re- sources of the—disciples amount only to 200 denarii that .is about $45), and that even this amount spent on bread would not be sufficient to pro- vide a meal for the whole company. Apart from Jesus, therefore, the ex- isting provision ef bread is totally inadequate. , II. MAN LIVES By TEE WORD OF GOD IN CHRIST, 8-15. Vs. 8-10. Here now is Jesus' oppor- tunity. It is reported by Andrew that the existing provision, which is in the hands eif the serving -man, am- ounts to five barley cakes and two fishes. Jesus asks the disci - ples with loaves and two fishes, there is an un - out further delay, to command the mistakable display of divine power. 1 1 LEAVING AN ESTATE The life insurance companies are fond of gathering figures regarding the uncertainty of life, especially with reference to the accumulation of wealth. It is well that these companies do this for it brings to us a realization of what the life history of the average individual is. The one who get inter- ested in these figures becomes more cautious in the management of his finances, and endeavors to plan ahead. These statistics show that only three men out of every hundred leave estates of $10,000 or over; fifteen others leave between $2,000 and $10, 000, while eighty-two of every hun- dred leave no income producing estates at all. In other words, the chances are better than four to one that you and I will die poor; we won't leave the world with any more than we entered it. These figures almost scare a fellow., but the Carmer need not take fright as much as the city fellow. The farm- er who owns a farm, has an estate to leave; it is an income-producing es- tate at that; at least i.t.should be. If that fariner sells out and goes to the city the chances are that his money will get away from him and he will be numbered arneng eighty-two who die poor. So, from the etandpoint of having something in old age and of being in a position to leave relatives at least a little remembrance, it seems a wise thing for a fellow to hold onto the farm. Apparently a good farm is good insarance, Milk Cows Clean. "Milking is an iMpoetant ‚job" says a 'successful dairyman. "When the cow tester was here, we tested the etrinpings from Ile cow and foand thot they. contained eleven per cent, of butte.rfat, This farther inlpreaved 08 with the importance of. milking the cOWS clean." • Winter Killing of Clover. If clover goes into winter with only a thin stand, or if cropped closely, it is very liable to be winter killed. In the opinion of the supervisor of Illus- tration Stations of the Experimental Farms, heavy seeding is .a great help against winter killing, as then clover roots entwine, forming a matted sod which is able to withstand the altern- ate freezing and thawing of opening spring. The more top covering left, as winter protection, says the Super- visor, the greater are the possibilities of harvesting heavy crops next year. Consequently, at this season of the year, animals should not be allowed to pasture on newly seeded fields. When food whims are humored, the children may get "enough to eat" • but not "all they need." It is perfectly possible to lead them to milk and vegetables. WHEN YOUR BACK ACHES THINK OF YOUR KIDNEYS 'Many people fail to underetazid the signifieance oil a lame, weak, sore or k aching b aa .
