MAGIC •FRUIT
.BY MARY
If old Mr. and Mrs. Tansy had not
offered to take Luke and /jetty 3es-1
corn when their mother Lound she
would save to go to the hospital for a
long time, it is hard to say what would{
have become of them. Mrs. Bascom was -
a widow and poor, and thee were no
relatives for the children to stay with.
Luke and Hetty tried to look cheer-
ful when they saw old Mr. Ta.nsy driv-
ing. up in a buggy to get them, but it
was hard work.They had never lived
in the country, much less ori a farm,
and they wondered how it would seem.
"Good-bye, mother," said Luke. "I
am going to leare to be a farmer, and
then some day I shall be able to buy
all sorts of things for you. And I'll
bay myself a four -bladed pocketknife
and Hetty a—what do you want moat,
Hetty?" . •
"X ring. with a blue store," said
Hetty, "but I'm going to learn. to be
a cook and mak soe y y
it for myself."
They kept talking very fast about
what they were going to do; it some-
how helped to keep up -their courage.
"You will like the country," Mrs.
BaScom said encouragingly. • "There
are so many birds and flowers, and the
way the fruit grows is almost like
magic."
That made' things easier, and ' So
Luke ad Hetty were able to keep on
siniling-to the last. --
Mr. Tansy was a silent old man
and the children felt somewhat for-
lorn by the time the ten -mile drive
carne to an end. .1Virs. Tansy, too, was

Fertilizer Harvest Time.
From late fall till the middle of
spring is the fertilizer harvest time.
'Through this long cold season the do-
snestic animals of the farm are housed
"alrrost,all the time.
• Mixing straw with hog manure
adds to its bulk, prevents waste and
makes it easier to handle. Incident-
ally, hog Manure, preserved properly
and intelligently applied, is one of the
• richest and best of all farm -made fer-
tilizers. It ranks with that made
from sheep and poultry. And where
hogs are fed liberally of a variety, in-
cluding animal protein and mineral
• matter, the manure is claimed by
some to be the richest of any produced
on the farm.
• ...Prom a flock of from 100 to 200
hens during the cold months much
valuaole fertilizer can be made for the
farm garden and truck patch. To
make more and better fertilizer from
the flock, dry soil, dust or coal ashes
are sprinkled on the droppings board
• every few days.
• This not only preserves the fertiliz-
ing value of ,the droppings, but also
. helps to keep down offaUsive poultry-
' -'house odors.
• Not only from the droppings board
• but from the large floor of the poultry
hbuse inuch excellent fertilizer may be
made through the cold months. The
• litter 'ola,the poultry -house floor keeps
the birds busy while keeping their
feet warnier and cleaner. It absorbs
floor filth and make a fair grade of
fertilizer.
Liberal bedding is the keynoteto a
large and ..ealuable winter output or
manure.
The true farmer loves his animals
and soil. Furnishing the animal dur-
ing the cold and wet months with a
clean and warm bedding material to
• walls on, sleep on or scratch in is a
means of expressing his love. On -the
• side, the animals do better. And the
large quantities of fertilizer made
through the strew passing under the
feet of the animals is a good means of
snaking the soil of his farm fatter and
fairer.
The successful- farmer may be
known by the number of manure forks
he wears out every winter.
By the provisions of the Seeds Act
1923, all seeds of clevers, grasses, car:
sal grains, and forage crops come
Leder compulsory grading, while
seeds of field roots, garden vegetables,
and rape may be sold _either under
grade or marked with the percentage
of germination when such germina-
tion is below the minimum percentage
prescribed by regulation.

"Do you think we are going to 'lir
it here?" Hefty asked her brother a
they went up to bed. •
"Perhaps," Luke answered cauti
ously. "There'll be the birds and flow
ers, you know, and the magic fruit.'
"Oh, yes, the magic fruit," sal
Hetty happily. "I had forgotten that.'
They found, as the weeks went by
that they did like it very much on th
Tansy farm. They played and work
ed and learned something new every
day. It was midsummer. when they
reached the farm, but there was stil
plenty of 'time to see things grow. The
fruit did indeed grow like rnagic.
• "I want to learn how th raise things
myself," Luke had said the very first
day. .
"And t Want to learn how to cook,"
Hetty chimed in.
Then they told Mr. and Mrs. Tansy
about the knife and the ring that they
were going to buy some day, and all
their plans. .
• "Very well," said the farmer and
his wife. "Where there's a will there's
a way."
So Luke spent a good deal a his
time in the fields and in the garden
and Hetty helped Mrs. Tansy in the
kitchen, and they both felt very im-
portant and useful.

Then you shall have a ring as pretty

Hetty sighed. It seemed a len time
before Luke would be a farmer. But
after a while she grew more cheei-ful,
and when she saw her mother on the
station platform she, forgot every-
thing else.
Mrs. 13ascom was astonished at the
size of the pumpkin and of the apple.
"Why, they look like magic fruit,
to be sure" she said,
That afternoon there was a bustle
in the Bascom lsitchen, Luke carried
his pumpkin in from the back porch,
and Hetty, with an important air, tied
on a big apron. Their mother svas
resting; how surprised she would be
when she •came downsts irs •and saw
pumpkin pie and apple tart under

Luke stuck the carving knife into
the big yellow ball and bore down on
it until the golden halves separated
and fell apart.
"What's this,'? he shouted suddenly,
e
in my pumpkin?"
It looked like a little roll of rubber.
Luke picked it up and unwound it, and
something 1-Srd dropped to the flhor.
• "A knifeA ltnife!" cried.Luke. "A

I-Ietty gasped. "Then—" she said
and made a dash for her apple. An
iristant later the apple, too, was wide
open.
"Mine's a ring," said Hetty with a
d broad smile. "See, Luke.—a ring with
a little blue stone! It's as pretty as

s was wearing."
Luke was excunining his pumpkin.
- A little piece about four inches square
- had been cut from it at one side, and
' some of the meat had been scooped
d out; then the piece had been put back
' And fastened in place with strips of
, transparent paper. Hefty's apple had
e been treated in the same way. The
- two treasures had been quite safe. --
"Was it really magic fruit?" little
Hetty asked in an awed. -voice.'
1 "Well," said Luke slowly, "I sup-
pose Mr. and Mrs. Tansy had a good
deal to do with the knife and the
ring; but anyway it's like magic for
us, you know." •
Then they went busily to' work to
Make, a magic Thanksgiving dessert
for their mother.—Youth's Companion.
The farmer turned over a whole
pumpkin patch to Luke's' special care.
It was a smalLpatch, bet it called for
much attention. Water had to be
carried to it when there was no rain,
and weeds had to be pulled up and
bugs destroyed. Luke worked hard.
Meanwhile Hetty, in a big apron,
was learning to cook. She was so
small that she had to stand on a foot-
stool to measure flour and beat eggs,
but that 'did not discourage her. She
learned how to make bread as well as
anybody; and one day she made three
whole pies all by herself.
- -
Later on she helped Luke pick ap-
ples and found the largest apple that
anyone had ever seen en the farm.
Mr:Tansy said she might heve it for
her own, and he gave Luke the big-
gest pumpkin in the fine pumpkin
patch that the little boy had taken
care of.
It was nearly Thanksgiving when a
letter came saying that their mother
was able to leave the hospital. Luke
and natty rejoiced at the good news,
but• -they were sorry to say good-bye
to their friends and the sfarm,
"You're a very useful pair," said
Mr. Tansy. So Luke and Hetty felt
pleased and proud. • , '
Mr. Tansy found at the last minute
that he could not spare a herse to take
the children back to the city, and'
so,
they would have to go back by train.'
"Anyhow, going to carry my
big pumpkin," said .Luke. ,"Mother -
must see that, no matter what."
"And I am going to carry my big
'red apple, Hetty said. "I shall make,

Eat Canadian -Grown Apples.
"Delight in every bite" is the key
term used by the Fruit Branch at Ot-
tawa to a little attractively presented
booklet on Canadiae-grown apples, in
which, after a brief outline of the
produce in the different provinces and
details of the seasons of the numerous
varieties, is given'. in .comprehensive
and plain form 115 different uses to
whicht`the King of fruits" can be put.
These coinpromise many new recipes
as well as some that are old, and all
of value and worth while to the house-
keeper. The apple, whether fresh,
dried, evaporated or canned, is a
wholesome "Toed, easily prepared, at. -
tractive and palatable at all times. If
eaten at the beginning of ,a meal, or
between meals, it has a • medicinal
regulating value, as well as, from a
dietetic standpoint,, furnishing neces-
sary mineral salts and organic acids
and possessing important nutritous
value supplied by the carbohydrates it
contains.
That the Canadian -grown apple has
no superior is proven by the 46 prizes
won' at the Imperial Fruit Show held
111 London, England, and the firsts and
specials taken at other Shows . Wher-
ever exhibited the apples grown in
Canada have always earned distinc-
tion in this manner. Doctors agree

there are none that exceed the good
Canadian apple.

The bell rang and Father faced the
turkey. He circled the bird warily,
looking for a hold. Considerable cau-
tion characterized the first few mind
utes of the bout, in spite -of the iaict
that it was being conducted under
carve -as -carve -can rules.
Suddenly they grappled. The tur-
key, a tough opponent slid -out from
under Father and the two went to the
mat. Mother, refereeing from the
other end of the table, was so annoyed
by the. spotting of the mat, not to,
mention the clean tablecloth, that she'
awarded the first fall to the turkey.
Warming to his work, Father se-
cured the famous drumstick hold on
the turkey, twisting mercilessly and
savagely ,attacking with a carving
knife, which, he declared, had not been
sharpened since the iron age. Father
pressed his Advantage and succeeded
in serving three guests.
But although the turkey was some-
what underweight, he was fast and
slippery. He broke the scissors hold

fork and cleverly upset Father's glass

What to Do to Obtain High
Egg Production.
The requirements for high egg pro-
duction, so says Prof. W. R. Graham
of the 0.A.C., are clean, dry, comfort-
able houses, that are free from direct
draughts over the birds, and that are
well -lighted. The feeding consists of
a variefy of grains, green feed, ani-
mal feed, grit and shell which is clean,
sweet and wholesome, and is given to
the birds regularly and in such quan-
tities that they have all they want to
eat before going to roost at night;
that the supply of drinking material
is clean and abundant; that the atten-
dant is regular in his or her work and
is interested in the same; that the
birds are bred from good laying ances-
tors, and that they are hatched at the
proper season and well reared, and
are free from disease.

One of the lest jobs to be done in
the- garden,and one of the most im-
portant, is to cover everything tender
in preparation for the long winter
nap.
Some people are under the Misap-
prehensioe that mulching in the win-
ter time—covering the tender things
with strawy manure or similar ma-
terial—is done in order to prevent the
plants from freezing. On the con-
trary, mulch should not be put on the
garden growth until after the ground
has been frozen herd, and the plants
with it. The mulch that is placed
over them is to keep the plants, not
from freezing, but rather from thaw
The first cold autumn weather will

winter has really set in and then
apply the covers. This may sometimes
be as late as the middle of December.
The alternate freezing and thawing
due to severely cold days followed by
thawing, sunny days—the heaving of
the soil which exposes plant roots and
the too severe freezing of tops -and
roots, all harm the plants. It is the
alternate freezing and thawing and
the heaving of the soil which causes
the most injury, however, and it is
this condition which the mulch pre-

THE NEATEST METHOD OF MULCHING.
If a neat mulch is desired for the
borders or beds that will be • seen
through the winter, it is a good idea
to run a piece of 12 -inch chicken wire
about the bed or border, holding it up
with wooden stakes set in the ground.
This should be done befOre freezing
weather, then the leaves or straw
mulch naay be put within the wire
enclosure over •the plants -after the
freeze, holding the mulch in place
with boughs or boards.
Be sure to always keep the mulch-
ing material perfectly dry and under
cover while it is waiting to be used.
Mulching is required for the roses,
tender shrubs, hardy borders, bulb
beds, vines and boxwood edges—also
for the strawberry beds, cold frames
and newly set shrubs and fruit trees.
Manure makes the best mulch for
the hardy border, as it can be worked

IN
Even thoughWafTeEsny. of the Hybrid
Perpetuals and Hybrid Tea roses are
hardy enough to stand up against the
winter, it is generally the part of wis-
dom to mulch the entire rose bed. The,
earth should be drawn &issued -the
canes of the tender sorts, or around
all of them in severe climates, in little
hills, before the ground freezes. This
also insures proper drainage. Out
back the canes a third before covering
with the mulch. The most tender
Teas, or Hybrid Teas, require an
extra covering of leaves around them,
placed inside of chicken wire that is
run around the bed. This, with ever-
green boughs on top; Will keep the
bushes in good condition until spring.
The ground around shrubs should
be 'well covered with the mulching
manure or leaves, but beware of pack-
ing this mulch about the stem or
trunk of the shrub where it may offer
a cosy home to field mice or some
other little animals.

INTRODUCTION --To understand the
Gospel history we niust keep in miad
that Jesus did not until now, near the

a.cter of God. The average man's idea
of the Messiah was worldly, and un -
spiritual in the extreme. While, there-
fore, Jesus lived and acted as the Mes-
siah, he could not reveal himself in
that character. Now, however, the
time had come when Jesus must take
his own specially chosen and trained
disciples into his confidence on this
solemn and exalted theme. What were
his disciples' inmost thoughts regard-
ing hire? In response to this question,
Peter confesses Jesus as the Messiah,
and Jesus hails the coefession as a
revelation to Peter from God himself,
and says that in Peter the foundation -
stone of his church is laid.
I. THE SECRET OF JESUS REVEALED,
13-16.
V. 13. The confession is made dur-
ing an extended tour of Jesus and his
disciples in the district lying north of
Palestine proper, near the base of the
giant range of Hermon. Caesarea
Philippi was formerly called Panias,
but was rebuilt by Philip the tetrarch,
and named Caesarea in honor of the
Emperor Augustus. Herod the Great
had previously adorned the site by
erecting a temple in honor -of the em-
peror. Anciently the district had been
a celebrated centre of Baal -worship.
We have see a that by this time
many followers had turned away from
Jesus because his spiritual teaching
concerning the kingdom did not suit
their nationalistic and earthly concep-
tions. The Master was treading at
this time the path of loneliness and
disappointment. Herod Antipae had
threatened his life, if he remained in
Galilee. But had his work been lost?
Had it made no impression? Jesus
now resolves to put the matter to the
test.
• Jesus had maintained a great re-
serve regarding his own personality.
But several times he had used the
mysterious title "Sot of man." What
thoughts had his hearers attached to
this inysterious appellation?
V. 14. First jesus asks what do the
people say- aThe disciples ariSWer that
various Impressions are abroad. Some
think that in Jesus the spirit of John
the Baptist has come back to life.
Some think that ,esus is the prophet
Elijah, whose zeturn to earth in the
last days was expected by the Jewish
people on the strength of the prophecy
in Malachi (see ch. 3:1-3 and 4:5, 6).
Others think that one of the major
prophets has reappeared, Jeremiah in
particular being named. Notice, how-
ever, that none of the people consider
that Jesus is the Messiah.
Vs. 15, 16. But when Jesus turns
to his own circle, and asks what they
think, Simon answers at once: "Thou
art the Christ, the Son of the living!
God." Here, for the first time, the 1

'Son of man am?" --John the Baptist,
Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the pro-
phets. John the Baptist was a pioneer
by instinct, breaking from the rank
and file and taking a path of his own.
He was not tied to any Old order of
the past. Jesus said, "It bath. been

Apples for Winter Use.
When ordering apples for domestic
use it is well to carefully select the
varieties according to the season of
the year. They should be chosen ac-
cording to the order of ripening so,
that they may be in best condition
either for cooking or dessert purposes.
According to a pamphlet on "Canadian
Grown Apples," issued by the Fruit
Branch of the Dept. of Agriculture
at Ottawa, fall apples ripen in this
order: Alexander, Wolf River, Gray-
eestein, Wealthy, Colvert, St. Law-
rence, Maiden's Blush, Blenheim, Rib-
ston, Hubbardson, Pameuse and Mc-
int,osh Red. The last two named are
dessert apples. Many of these fall
varieties will keep well into the win-
ter if stared in a cool place.
The first winter apples on the mar-
ket, in order, are the Ring, Rhode
Island Greening and Wegener, but;
those are closely followed by other ex--
cellent winter varieties such as the
Baldwin, Seek, Pewaulsee, Ontario,
Jonathan, Yellow Newtown, Spy, Gol-
det Russett, Ben Davis, Stark, Falla-
water, Roxbury Russett, Spitzenburg,
and Rome Beauty.

Cooking Apples.
Authorities seem to agree that in
the cooking of apples either earthen
or granite vessels are much to be pre-
ferred to iron or other metal kettles.
When the latter are used an unfavor-
able flavor is liable to be imparted to
he fruit. This observation is made in
a pamphlet on "Canadian Grown Ap-
ples/' issued by the Fruit Branch of
he Dept. of Agricuasure at Ottawa.
The author also recommends the use

11. THE FOUNDATION OF THE CHURCH
LAID, 17-20.
V. 17. Jesus is deeply touched by
Simon's confession; and pronounces
him blessed for having had the heav-
enly truth imparted to hins. The
disciple has learned the secret, and
learned it not from "flesh and blood,"
that is, not from, any human source,
but from God himself. He has been
taught by the spirit, and has become

is reason, Jesus now
means "rock" and describes him as the
foundation on which he will build his
church. What makes Peter the rock
of the church is his faith in Jesus'
Messiahship. 1Ie has made his con-
fession, and upon the same cerifession
other men of faith will build, and so
the church of the Messiah will come
into being. By "the gates of hell,"
which will riot prevail against the
church, is meant the organized power
of sin or Satan, which will measure
its strength against the church of
Jesus, but in vain. The Rorean church
has claimed to find in Jesus' promise
to Peter, the justification of its theory
