MORNING PRAYER.
O God our Heavenly Father grant
That we Thy humble servants may
Lift up our hearts in silent chant,
With Hallowed b&Thy name today.
Let Thy dear Kingdom reign supreme
In all our thoughts and words and deeds
Thy will on earth, a constant stream
Of He=avenly love, supply our needs.
To as the bread of life impart,
And with our daily ration give,
A blessing to each faithful Heart,
By teaching us, the way to live.
Forgive us our transgressions Lord,
Inspire our hearts with love Divine,
To pray according to Thy Word,
That all our neighbour's lives may shine.
In all temptations, grant us might
With will, to fight against the foe,
And lead us in Thy glourious light,
To realms where all are free from woe.
From evil Blessed Saviour cleanse,
Our thoughts with Thy atoning blood—
And when this earthly journey ends
O comfort with Thy staff and rod
By Power and glory keep us Lord,
Faithful in every morning prayer,
And when the Trumpet sounds reward
O may we meet thee in the air.

About West Africa
Editor of Advance :
I find many of your readers very
much interested in news from North-
ern Nigeria, West Arica, where it has
been my lot to labour as a missionary
for the past three years and as I find
it impossible to meet all personally I
thought we could reach many through
the columna of your valuable paper.
Northern Nigeria, West Africa, is a
part.that is very little known about
to Canadians. So many speak of me
as retutning from South Africa but
this is possibly two thousand miles
from where I have been working,
I have many questions asked me •
relative to the customs and habits of
the people. A few of these I will try
to answer,
"What'do the people do P'' "What!
do they make 1 heir living at ?" Many
of the people are farmers. Yet we
must not think of them as farmers in
the sense we farm in Ontario.
All their farming is done by the aid
of just hand hoes of a very crude
make, made by the na lee blacksmith.
yet it ie surprising what they really
do accomplish with these crude im-
plements. Horses or oxen are never
used. Horses will not live long in
the Niger Valley because a certain fly
bites them and they go into a rapid
decline and die. One missionary tried
keeping a horse and buried four in a
very short time.
The heat is so intense that oxen
could not stand hard work. Thus
the men do the cultivating with a hoe
and the women are the l:easte of
burden and do all the carrying of the'
crops home on their heads from the
fields.
Another question will naturally
arise in the m n 1 andth at ii "What do
they grow ?" There are various things
grown such as Guinea corn which is a.
Small grain growing up in the tassel
of a corn -like stalk. It is a chief part
of their food diet, The mother or
daughter grinds the corn between two
s' ones and makes it into a thick por-
ridge which is eaten with the fingers.
Our Indian corn is also cultivated two
crops a year can be grown as the
growing season is much longer than
ours, there being no frost or cold
weather. The thermometer scarcely
ever going below 00 degrees. Yams
are grown in large quantities. They
grow in the ground and are in shape
much like a large mengo'.a. The mis-
sionaries use them to take the place of
potatoes which will not grow in this
part of Africa. The natives almost
live on them durir g certain parts of
the year. Sweet potatoes are grown
and are relished by the missionaries.
Rice is grown in the low lands and if
we want to make a feast for the
natives we must furnish them with a
pot of boiled rice. Bananas, pawpaws
and oranges are cultivated and grown
in most parte, Peanuts are grown
and exported in large gteantities.
Many train kale pass through Jebba
on their way to the Coast to be loaded
on the ocean liners. The government
has been encouraging the natives to
grow cotton for export. They furnish
the seed and superintend the growing
in a general way. Tho chief natural
products of the country are Palm
}Kernels, Palm Oil, Kola nuts and
shear butter nuts, Further up north
cattle, sheep, goats and horses are
raised and brought down to the coast
in large herds and fucks.
Very few of our Canadian vegetables
can be grown suecessfully, however,
tomatooe and a few others like lettuce,
raddishen and cucumbers may be
grown. Lest year 1 had bushels of
tomatoes, The vines grow to a height
of six or eight feet.
Many of the natives are traders.
They are born traders. Get ahead of
a black trader if you can. They will
ask four times the worth of an article
and often get twice its value from the
new missionary. But experience
teaches In time. Others of the native
young men are laborers for the Gov-
arrnmeat on the trallwaye, others are
clerks for the European Official.
As in most tropical countries we
have just the two seasons—the wet
season from about April let to Nov.
let and the remaining part of the year
is known as the dry season.
Many ask --"Are the natives capable
of receiving knowledge ?" Let me
mention two examples—Take the little
black boy 'Ijola' who was one of my
small boys on the Jebba Mission
station and not over seven years of
age. This boy can read his Yoruba
Bible perfectly and when I left in
April he was reading the third book
in English and writes beautifully and
is also well up in arithmetic. Then
take another boy called 'Tom' when
he came on the Mission. Compound a
little over two years ago he did not
know the letters of his native langu.
age, but in six months he could read
his Bible quite well and in one of his
recent letters to me he said he had the
missionary send to the coast for his
fourth Eoglish reader. Along the
1 nes of religious instructions I have
found them just as capable of receiv-
ing. I have never seen more devoted
followers of Christ than many of those
poor ignorant heathen Soule. Rain or
shine they are always found in their
places at the church services,. Much
more might be written but already I
have taken too much of your valuable
space. I have indeed enjoyed my
visit baek to the old town. I see some
improvements. The fine cement pave-
ment on front street does much to
improve the appearance of the town.

Control Measures For Army
Worm.
SUBSCRIPTION $1 tit Pros VmAR 1)t £DVAN''S
$1,¢Q xa 8u uoazu se ix U. S;
The army worm is a stout, smooth -
bodied caterpillar, blackish or brown-
ish' in color, with two yellowish
stripes, tinged with red, along each
side. When full grown it is about 1
iuches long, The adult is • a moth
which lays her eggs chiefly on grass in
lope lands. The caterpillars tbemsel-
Tee never lay eggs or produce living
young. The favorite food plants are
grasses, timothy, oats, corn and millet,
When food becomes scarce the worms
move in enormous numbers in search
of new feeding grounds.
As the pest is being reported from
numerous counties, every farmer
should examine his fields from time to
time to see if they are being attacked.
If the insects have become distributed
all over the field before being' noticed,
the wisest course will be to cut the
crop at once if it is timothy or grain
and cure for hay, but if it is corn,
scatter lightly through the field a
poison mixture, made of 1 lb. of paris
green mixed thoroughly in 25 lbs. of
bran, and then moisten with water,
sweetened with molasses. Make the
mixture just moist enough to fall
through the fingers like sawdust—not
sloppy.
If the crop is threatened or attacked
only ip part, dig a trench immediately
in front of where the worms are. In
the case where the crop is partly at-
tacked, it will be found advisable to
cut a swath through the grain, and
rake this off before the trench is dug.
The trench is often uneatisfaetory,
especially in clay soil, if it is not
properly made. It should be at least
I8 inches deep, in clay soil, with a
straight clean side towards the crop to
be protected. Post -holes at least a
foot in depth must be sunk every 15
feet iu the bottom of the .trench. In
sandy soil the trench works excellent-
ly, but in clay soil it is often advisable
as an extra precaution to heap up the
loose earth on the crop right along the
trench. The small particles of earth
loosen and cause the climbing worms
to drop. Bence in clay, or much soil it
may be advisable to scratch the face
of the wall lightly with a garden rake.
Do this also after rain. When the
worms, are unable to climb the wall
they will pass lengthwise through the
trench, and collect in, the post -holes,
where they may be killed by crushing
or other means. In digging the
trench ploughs may be used, but the
balance of the work , should be done
with spades to insure a clean deep
trench.
Wherever the worms are .found,
prompt action is very important.

THOUSANDS OF FIRMS
TESTIFY.
Owing to the great iuduetrial expan
sion, Canada is calling as never before
for young people with an expert busi-
ness training. For ten years the grad-
uates of the Wingham Business Col-
lege have been getting the best posi-
tions and foregoing to the front. Over
one thousand firms in Canadian and
American towns and cities have testi-
fied that W. B. 0., graduates are
superior.
The Wingham Business College is a
link in Canada's greatest chain of
High-grade Schools located in many
t awns and cities during the past thirty
years, also affiliated with the Com-
mercial Elucators Association 9f
Canada. Scores of young people from
this town and vicinity have attended
the Wingham Business College and
the Spotton Business College, London,
and a post card will bring you the
names of these so that you may con-
fer with them and get their opinion.
You can study all at home, all at
College, or partly at home and partly
at College, end fees can be paid at any
time. A lady graduate last year earn-
ed $1,020.00, one thousand and twenty
dollars, another lady graduate of seven
years ago earned $1,500, fifteen hun-
dred dollars, ask for their testimony.

Junk Shop Law.
The following has been taken from
the legal columns of the Mail and Em-
pire and may throw some light on the
Wiugham controversy re our junk
shop.
D. M., Ripley—Qu.—A owns a junk
shop, and it has been in the same place
for about 17 years. Neighbors who
have been living there for five years
are trying to have A forced to remove
his shop. Can this be legally done?
Ans.—Even if it can be shown that
the junk ehop is a private nuisance,
that of itself is not sufficient to entitle
any private individual to obtain a
decree from the court ordering its re-
moval. A junk shop is not necessarily
a nuisance, It has been carried on in
the same place for the past 17 years,
therefore no new comer has any right
to complain. It seems to me that you
have not shown any sufficient reason
for commencing an action to compel
A to remove his shop to another
locality.
Ring Around A Rosy.
The Council are to be congratulated
in so regulating main street traffic 80
that vehicles must face right way,
keep right side and turn the corners
square but the wonder of the day is
the red circles around the manholes,
Some say that they aro there for the
Councillors to play "Ring Around A
Rosy" around. Others say that the
Main street is to be turned into a golf
links. People visiting our town
should not be annoyed and harassed
with tom -foolery not in vogue in cities
of 500,000 souls, If the red circles
are to be seen at night a candle should
be placed in each manhole.
