The enumeration of hired labor an the farm refers to the year 1910. It will give the total number of weeks of labor employed, which means the number for all men who work for hire on the farm, and the total number i;aid for hire, including allowance for board. Tte payment should be reckoned for the full time of service, and should include the value of board. The inquiry relating to earnings for domestic service is ask- ed for in schedule No. 1. In addition to the foregoing inquiries of values, a question is asked for the value of all lands and buildings not manufacturing establishments or mines owned in Canada in 1911, which are out- side of the enumerator's district. Archibald Blue. Results of Lo•operatwe Experi- ments With Autumn Sown Crops. Four hundred and thirty-eight farm- ers throughout Ontario conducted ex, periments with autumn sown crops dur- ing the past year. Reports have been received from thirty-five of the counties of the province. The experimenters. de- serve much credit for the good work whick they have done, not only for themselves, but for the farmers general- ly. Average results of the carefully conducted co-operative experiments with autumn sown crops are here presented An a very concise form: Winter Wheat -Four varieties of win- ter wheat were distributed last autumn to those farmers who wished to test some of the leading varieties on their own. farms. The average yields per acre of straw and of grain are as fol- lows: American Wonder, 2.3 tons, 31.0 bushels; Tasmania Red, 2.4 tons, 28.3 bushels; Iumerial Amber, 2.4 tons, 26.4 bushels; Criinean Red, 2.3 tons, 26.4 bushels, The American Wonder resembles nary obesely the Dawson's Golden Chaff, both in appearance of the growing crop and in the quality and the appearance of the grain. The Tasmania Red is a bearded, red chaffed, red grained wheat, The strew is somewhat weak, but the grain is of excellent milling quality. The Im- perial Amber is a bearded, red chaffed, red grained wheat of fair strength of straw and of good average gaality for bread production. The Crimean Red is a bearded, white chaffed, red grained wheat, rather weak in the straw, but excellent for bread production. Winter Bye -Three varieties of win- ter rye were distributed in the autumn of 1909. The results show that the 'Mammoth White variety came at the head of the list in yield pee acre in 66 per cent, of the experiments. The Wash- ington came second, slightly surpassing the Common variety. In the experi- ments throughout Ontario, the Mam- moth White surpassed the Common rye by an average of five bushels per acre in 1907, '.4 bushels per acre in 1908 and six bushels per acre in 1909. Fertilizer.; With Win Ler Wheat -In the co-oocrative experiments with differ. rent fertilizers applied in the autumn to winter wheat, the average yields of grain per acre for six years are as fon 'lows: Mixed fertilizer 24.9 blishels; nitrate of soda, 24.1 bushels; muriate of potash, 23.1 bushels; tied superpaos- phate. 2e.6 buehele. On similar land, cow manure, at the rate of 20 tons per Isere, gave an average yield of 27 bushek pOr acre; and the land which received neither fertilizers nor manure gave an average of 20 bushels per acre. The superphosplatte was applied at the rate of 320 pounds and the =nth of potash and the nitrate of soda each 1:30 pounds per acre. The mixed fertilizer consisted of one-third of the quantity of earl' of the other three fertilizers here mention- ed. The omit eoet of the fertilizers, as used in this experiment, is between four andi five dollars per mire. Noadet Crops-na ieenh ef seven yeern he Seed.

During le119 12,500 Persons Kill Themselves, and Poison and Pistol Remove the Most. Dering the year 1909 12,500 persons committed sincide in the United States, a:wording to figures presented, in an ler- tide appearing in the current issue of the apectator, and an analysis shows titet more than one-half of these took their lives either by the use of poieon or firearm. This number, compareci With previoue figures available from reports submitted by the Bureau of Vital Statistics, shows an increase in self-destruction of 2.1 per- sons in every 100,000 of population. Am:tilling to figures gathered in sixty- five of the largeet titles in this country 3,732 persons took their lives. During the ten years ending with 1908 there were a total of e0,446 suicides in these same cities, an avenge of 1ee5 persons ir every 100,000 of population. Compar- ed to these figures for ten years, the in- crease during last year in plaeed at 2.1 for each 100,000 population. A table of comparative fignres extend- ing from the yeter 1890 te last year shows that there has been a steady in- crease in the. number of suleides in the country. In 1800, according to this table, the suicide rate was 12.3, 13y 1000 it had increased to 16,3. and at the end of 1909 has reached 20.6. In comparing the rates as between city and rural districts it is pointed out that the urban rate is materially in- ereased by persons who took their lives after coming to the cities from the country.

To prevent salt in salt bottles from becoming damp and lumpy, when filling them put in ten to twelve pieces of rice. This will not come through the holes in the cover of the salt cellars, but will break the lumps of salt and gather the moisture; thus the salt is alwayts dry and fine. A good way to wash bottles or vine- gar cruets is to put crusted eggshells - and warm soapy water together in them and shake well. This will clean the glass well and will not scratch it. A good silence cloth for the dinieg table can be made with a double thick - ems of white flannel laid with the soft side on' the inside and quilted on the machine; edge with a binding of white tape.

Summer time is a time of danger to all bebies-but more especially to those living in the towns and cities where the heat is so excessive as to make it 'al- most impossible to keep baby's food in proper condition. It is then that the little one suffers froin those stomach and bowel troubles that carry off so many precious little lives. During the summer the mother must be especially careful to keep baby's stonutelt sweet and pure and his bowels moving regu- larly. No other medicine will be of such great aid to mothers in summer as 13aby's Own Tablets.

Graves, The priueiples of fighting forest fires are essentially the same as those reeognized in fight fires in chin. The following aro of first importance: (1) quick arrival at the fire; (2) an adequate tone; (3) proper equip- ment; (4) it thorough organization of the lighting crew; and (5) skill in attacking and. fighting fires. Quick access to .dre is ACC011l plished throm,Th the work •of super- vision and patrol in dincoverieg fires before they have gained much head.. way, and by it \veil developed sys- tem of eommunieation through the forest by roads and trails. A. small fire may be put out by one man, but in extensive forests sev- erals hours may nass before the fire can be reached. In a well organized system of patrol the guard who die - covers a fire communicates quickly 1.o other guards and to headquarters by telephone, signal or other means, and indieates the number of men he needs. •It is essential that there be definite arrangements for securing it force of mon in case of fire. This may be accomplished by co-operation with lumber or sawmill operators, or in the case of small tracts, through the co-operation of neighboring own - ors. In 'some states there are fire wardens who'rnay call upon residents to assist in fighting the fires:" just as in a city the efficiency of a fire service depends in large part on the equipment, so also in forest work it is essential that fire fight- ers be furnished with the proper tools and other equipment, The imple- ments needed for fighting fires differ under different conditions. Wher- ever dirt can be tined the men should be provided with Iong-handled shovels. If • water is available, buckets, and where possible, bucket pumps should be provided. "Under most conditions it is desirable to have mattocks and iron rakes, and there should always be axes to aid in clearing brush or cutting through down timber and old tops. Small surface fires may often be beaten out. Where there are tons or piles of brush, or the fire is burn- ing through thick brush or under- brush, beating is very difficult. There are various devices for beat- ing. A blanket, coat or riding slicker is often used. A gunnysack is one of the best implements for beating particularly if it can be lea from Woo to time. A handful of green brush serves also very well for a beating device. Irx beating out a flee, one strikes the fire with a sideways sweep, driving the flames and burn- ing material back upon the burned ground, A direct stroke scatters the fire. While surface fires are deadly enough, and undoubtedly are the sources of vast losses, the crown fire, when the trees themselves are ablaze, is the more spectacular, and at the same time more dangerous to life and property, and a hundred timemore difficult to fight. It is that crown fires may be more successfully fought that wide fire lines many miles in length are driven through the forests. On these fire lines • trees, underbrush, and even leaves, weeds and grass are removed, so that not only will the fire fight- ers find there a vantage point from which to fight the fire, but it will in large measure help check the oncom- ing mountain of flame and smoke by taking from them the food they feed upon. Crown fires stop when there are no banger inflammable crowns through which the fire will run, or when there is no longer any material on the ground to carry the surface fire. An ordinary crown fire will jump a. wide fire line, and many fires have been known to cross wide rivers, almost without check. In the mountains a Chief Foreeter of the Unite'. States. To picture shows forest fire fighters' fire wagon putting out grass fire at edge of western forest. Bot tom line shows fire line cleared through Montana forest by Pinch° t rangers, crown fire rannine; up A slope is al- most impossible to check, On level ground it is possible to stop crown fires by back firing, when the conditions are such as to make back firing possible at all. The back fire 'burns off the surface material, and thus in itself acts as it elle& to the crown fire, and, if the area burn- ed by the back fire le large enough, will stop it in this way. At other times, whea the back fire has been successfully started and is well under way, eating back against the wind, it is caukht by the hot volume of air generated by the heat of the crown fire. The flames are then turned quickly toward the crown fire, and the meeting of the two lines of flame stops the advance .of the fire. When fires gain such headway that it is impossible to stop them by direct attack, no matter how numerous and efficient the crew or complete the equipment for fighting, back firing becomes the only means of stopping the fire. It should, however, be used only when it is absolutely neces- sary. One of the commonest mistakes in fighting fires is to overestimate the rapidity of the fire and the difficulty of putting it out. A forest fire is always a frightening spectacle, par- ticuiarly if 11 18 sweeping in the di- rection of one's own property. If it is, found that a back fire is necessary, a favorable point is see lected directly in front of the fire, from which to set the new fire. This must be a point where it is safe to start a back fire, such as a road, fire line, stream or swamp. The leaveare ignited at point five feet to a rod apart for a distance not greater than the estimated width of the head of the fire. The small fires gradually meet and form a continu- ous lino, eating back against the winds. A part of the crew is stationed across the road or other break from which the back fire is started, and put out at once the small fires which ma.y result from the sparks blown over front the back fire. A forest fire is never out until the last spark is extinguished. Often a log or snag will smoulder unnoticed after the flames have apparently been conquered, only to break out afresh with a rising wind. After the fire fighting crew has left the ground it is always well to assign men to patrol the edges of the burned area until it is certain that the fire is entirely out. This may not be for several. days. OHIN'ESE WOMEN. Not Fully Committed to Advanced Fashions and Ideas. Writing from Hartford, Conn., a ear- respondeut of the New York Tribune saps: Twenty young Chinese women, the largest number of students of collegiate renk of this nationality ever gathered under the same roof for Christian service in the history of the Celestial Empire, are here attending tile second conven- tient of the Chineee Christian Students' Aesociation in North America. They will also remain for the general confer., ence of all Chinese students in the Eastern States, to be held on Wednes- day, when the Christian convention will end. Dressed. in American skorts of latest pattern and mandarin coats made of the richest silk, these young women are an attrcation in the classrooms and on the campus of Trinity College, where the convention is held. When some of Otani were asked to give a reason for. wearing the cents, ono of them mid. that "in dr - der to look niee" they must do this. The truth, afterward. learned, is that the American dresses require the binding of the waists to fit. By coveriug their waists with it inandatin coat they are able to avoid this American custom, which they would never carry home with them to Chloe. When asked why note of them weer hate, even in the streets, the majority decision seemed to be that a hat now made by 4 millinery shop is of no- use and serves no practleal 1m/se80. lt does uot give protection to the wearer. When travelling it occupies too intieh room in one's trunk. Asked why they would usually not permit their young men friends to es- cort them by the arm when strolling lira:rand the eampus, the reason glven was that they aid not wish to form hab- its which were objeetionable to their people at home. Itegardieg woman suffrage, they be- lieve the question is too progeessive evert for initny .American women, and they do not think they will be required to solve such it problem.

I have shot a number of crocodiles in the Zambesi and Luangwa riven and the largest one 1 taped measured 14 feet. Once on the Zambesi, while travelling in the river steamer Ham- burg I saw ami wounded a much bigger one. It was lying asleep on 0 sand bank about middity and I used a. ,303 rifle with a soft nosed. bullet. When the bulet struck the crocodile raised its tail in the air and brought it down with a thump, as these reptiles often do when well hit. "Thinking it was dead, 1 picked up it pair of binomial's and through them I saw the blood pouring out of the wound between the neck and the shoulder. While I was looking I heard the crack of two Snider rifles and upon turning round I found that two Portuguese soldiers had both fired. Their bullets did not strike the croeodile, but passed Over it and raised the sand some dist- ance beyond. However, the crocodile seemed to revive and was quickly in the Water before I could reload and fire again. "This was by far the largest crocodile I have ever seen, either in India or Africa, and it seemed half as long again as the fourteen foot one that I Pleas- ured. Its bulk and girth were enor- nnous and far exceeded an eighteen foot gatial 1once measured in the Brah- maputire River iu Assam. The skipper of the Hamburg, who had been some time on the Zambesi, told Inc ito lind never seen one approaching it in sive. It was well hit with a raking shot and faney it died, but shall always regret that I did not fire again ,ancl make sure of this, for I could have persuaded the skipper to stop the steamer and put ine ashon so that I might have taped the anima).

It might be thought that such an ex. citing thing as a fire would startle the Mexicans out of their habitual indolence, but such is not the ease. The alarm of a, fire at Matamora, Coahuila, Mexico, was given by the discharge of numerous pistols and emus; and the writer hasten- ed to the scene -thinking, at first, that a battle was raging. After a long alter - vat -daring which the people watched the fire with interest, chattering among themselves meanwhile -there appeared, placidly trundling along the road, 'he Matamorman equivalent of a fire engine barrel rolling along the ground, drawn by a reluctant 'burro." A swivel - pin on each end of the keg permitted it to roll freely, and ropes attached it to the animal. Behind walked the "fire brigade" -a solitary peon, bearing a bucket. Aihived at the scene of the con. flagration, the water in the barrel was poured into buckets and hauled to the roof of an adjacent house, whence it was fung on to the flames. Everybody was greatly excited; the calmest thing of all was the fire, whin burnt steadily on till there was nothing left to con- sume. Thee, as the spectacle was over, the people dispersed. Everyone was sat- isfied -except, perhaps, the unfortunate owner of the house that had been de- stroyed. -Wide World Magazine, 0-6-"-AAN INFOERgK25 CENTS AN 0 We have Oh hand thirty-five organs, taken in exchange on Heintzumn ee Co. pianos, which we must sell regardless of Loss, to make room in our store.

A. deplorable inciaen; 15 rt ported. from Fockschani, Roumania.

When the police appeared they were eompelled to make Ari.i of their weapons to. dis- !Wine the enraged Crowd. A fight ensued and a considerable number of wounded had to revolve medical treatment, Over fifty arrests were made, An excellent example of Russian mis- rule is furnished by the action of the Governor of Enieeisk. 1 Wiled house - owners of Lake Shiro have, through the influence of the enlister of Agricultue ,e obtainea the repeal of the order prohib- iting jews from residing at the Spa dur- ing the summer. A few of the Jews thoreupon left for this Siberian resort. The governor, however, refused to take into consideration the permits issued by the Minietry, and ordered them to re- turn to the Pale. The Minister of Education has ad- dressed a letter to the chief rabbi of Turkey informing him that at the be- ginning of the next scolastie year no alien teachers will be permitted in the Jewislx schools of the Empire. All teach- ers, regardless of race or creed, must be Turleish subjects, A similar letter was been addressed to the heads of other communities. This ought to be a serious blow to the foreign mission schools con- ducted by so many Christian churches, as the misisonmiee who teach would put themselves in the pawer of the Turkish. Government, mid if international cone- plieations occurred they could net call upon their respective countries for pro' tection. It remains to be seen if the government will enforce this regulation, During the past session of the Rus- sian Dourria no fewer than eighty-seven speakers attacked the Jews in the house, whilst forty-two deputies rose in their defence. According to the unanimous wish of the commercial world of Salonica, the Government now closes the customs of- fices on Fridays and Saturdays instead of Fridays and Sundays. • Fabiausky's picture of the Kieff pro- gramme, expelled from the Munich Art Gallery, is now on exhibition at a pri- tette gallery at Frankfort, and the police are endeavoling to prevail upon the own- er to withdraw it front exhibition, as it is antieipated that the Czar will shortly visit the city. So far, however, their efforts have proved unavailing, and the picture continues to be a popular draw. It ie evident that the Turkish Govern- ment is placing restrictions not merely on those foreign Jews who desire to pur- chase laud in Palestine, or even to lease tended property, but also on Turkish Jews. The chief rabbi of Turkey, when on his journey to the Holy Land, noted this fact, and on his recent visit to the 'Ministry of the Interior and to the pres- ident of the chamber, he complained bit- terly of this action, Aimed Riza Bey, after listening to the chief rabbi's repre- sentations, made the signifieant reply: "Bring ahout an interpellation in the chamber." It is a notorious fact that there is it stropg nationalist feeling in the chamber, and that several Arab deps uties, especially those from Palestine, are not very amicably disposed towards the Jews. ee discussion of the Jewish question would be very dangerous from all points of view. This is recognieed by the Government and the Jewish pop- ulation of Turkey. The reply of the president of the chamber indicates that he approves the policy of restriction. In Young Turkish circles the feeling of dis- trust Is increasing, and is shown in these new restrictionist measures anned against the Palestinian Jews. Itis, how. ever, something of a matter of satisfaen tion to think that the Jewish population of Palestine is increasing to such a great extent. The Government, is unable to keep out immigrants provided they be- come Turkish citizens, and these can always secure mortgages on the lands held by the Arabs. The root of the whole trouble is the distrust of the Arabs in Palestine, who see the Jewish colonists prospering, while the Arabs re- main in squalor. Any one who knows Jewish history, also knows that opposi- tion only makes the Jew more anxious to obtain that which is difficult to ob- tain. The Ministry of the Interior has pro- vided the police with more work, In- structions haye reached the Provincial authorities from St. Petersburg not to ellow Jewish students to reside outside the Pale during the vacations. Hither- to the university uniform served as pro- teetion to the Jewish youths from the officiate, and Jewish youths were at lib- erty to go where they chose during the holidays. The Governor of Minsk has closed the Jewish eharitable society, judalca, on the ground that the institution is culti- vating Jewish nationalism. The minis- try, on the other 'hand, rejected the patriotic offer of an Odessa Melamed tre open it synagogue with the object of praying there for the Czar and. fath- erle What makes the cholera scourge worse than ever in Russia is the fact that the minorities will rather anew the victims to die than engage Jewish doctors. The situation in Odessa alone is frightful, and what makes matters even menu is the fact that the Governor-General (the infamous Tolmatcheff) will not even al- low the Jews who an isolated to pur- elase kosher meat. 4 A OEITETMCN !NFLUEN05.

The unfolling of His plans for us ought to tiavo taught us by this time that His plans open out into larger places than our deepest heart -desires have longed for. In a diary at the close of the year were written these words: "Memoranda: that very little of importance in this record was definitely foreseen; that ninny expected events dreaded or long- ed for never came to pass; that many things not understood at the beginning of the year are clear as it ends. And because all this is God's way with Ilia children, we may trust the next record to Him without fear."

Think of the ruins of Babylon, Egypt, Carthage, Athens, and Rome. Men sun. vey, explore'and write books about thee ancient cities. Jerusalem has stood soine thirty sieges, her 'streets have been plowed, levelled, buried; the streets the Saviour walked in are eight k et under the surfeee. What la the ' most massive ruin man erin study? Hie greateat teak is the . study of himself, his severest applieation is here: "Man, know thyself." Man walks among ruins, he is a broken col- itenn, his displacement is painful. He is a deposed king his crown is in the gut. ter, he gets a g!limpse of his grandeur in Itis misery, and poverty makes him ac- quainted with strauge bedfellows. Of ol1 the ruins his is the greatest. Wild lbewers creep out among the broken stones, and lizards glare and disappear. Will any of the ancient cities be re- built? To aek that question is to an- swer it.

A greater than Solomon is here, and when He speaks to us, He says: "Ye are of more value than many spar: rows, or sheep, or lands, nay, 'What shall a inan give in exchange for las soul?' He holds the sten/lead of human values. You are a being, not a thing; it prieet, a prince, it king. "Seek ye first," itt time, in rank in importance, in value, the Kingdom oegod, and His right, and all these linings' shall be added to you."
