Supposing you know one of your cows has a test of 3-4 per lent of fat for the first month she is milking, have you any certainty of what she will test the next two months or the last twc? One cow in the herd may keep at that first test for three for or four months running, another may give far richer milk the third month and the test may increase steadily; or again, with two cows both -increasing in the test during lactation, one may increase far inure rapidly than the other. Hence, at the end of the Bea- son one cow may have given consid- erably more fat than another which gave about the same weight of milk. It will thus be seen that the quest- ion of sampling as well as weighing a cow's milk is of great importance. Neither ie it sufficient to sample and test the mixed milk of the herd; in- dividual quality is worth study. ft should be plainly stated in addition that the times demand more attention being paid to testing, for the simple reason that the general ave, age test seems to be steadily increasing. As milk is valuable In proportion to its cream, or to its test of fat, it is portant for the dairyman to ,know which are bis high -testing cows. He may want a specially rich milk for his own table use; he new want an extra good mice when selling a high -testing cow; he may want toraise heifers like- ly to test at least as high if not higher than their dams; so evidently it will pay;him to know the testof each cow be owns. It is a simple matter to take samples on three days per month, and get a composite sample tented once a month. Ask the factory in your sect- ioa•to eco the testing, speak to the dairy recorder about in, or write to the dairy division, Ottawa, for full information about getting your sam- ples tested free. C, F. NV.. Plants of the Bible. • Continued from page 1 themselves to be the bearers of i', and it was to be presented as a gift to the same Joseph wlio had been sent into Egypt by the dealers in _balm froin Gilead; for Jacob orders them to "take of the best fruits of the land in their vessels", and of these, balm is one particularly specified. This fruit seems to have been well known to Jeremiah the prophet, who alludes to it more frequently than any of the rest of the sacred writers. That it was of a medicinal or a remedial na- ture is evident from the manner in which the prophet men;.ions it in con- nection with the physician when he exclaims, "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?' :And again, "Go up into Gilead, and take. balm, 0 virgin, the daughter of DEATHS Clark—Iu Wingham. on Tuesday, Feb ruary 10th, 1915, Martha Cunningham Clark, relict of the late 5extus Kent, • aged 92 yea's, 5 months, moodninmeir Egypt; he train shalt thou use many medicines for thou shalt not be cur. ed." It.seeme also to have been of a soothing and sedative quality, and many have thought it was a sort of laudanum.. " Babylon le suddenly fallen and destroyed ; howl for her take batty for .her pain, if so she may be healed." The district from whence this highly valued article of commerce was !-caught was situated on the east of the Jordan, and constituted the southern part of the kingdom of Bas- barr. Eesebius Gaye, it reached from Libanus to the land of Sihon. It mon therefore, have been about seventy leagues in length from north to south Gilead is often applied to a particular range of mountains, That part of the mountainous tract partly eo called, le, according to Burckhardt, a smaller range of hills, now namad Djileead, about seven miles south of the river Jabbnk and about eight miles in length, from west to east, They are described by Buckinghamas beautiful in the extreme, The plains are cover- ed with fertile soil, the hills are cloth- ed with foreste, and at every turn the most beautiful landscapes that can be imagined are presented to the eye of the beholder. But a sort of balm seems also to have been obtained in Judah, and the land of Israel, and is mentioned as one of the articles in whichthe people of these districts traded with the people of Tyre, 'Judah and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants; they traded in thy maiket wheat of Minnitto, and Pannag and honey, and ell and balm." In a marginal reference, the balm is called resin. LinnAms refers the balm, or the balsam of Gilead, to the Amyris Gileadensis, and saps, that the balm of Gilead is the gum produced by this tree. Bruce, in his travels in Abyss- inia, seems to refer the balm of Gilead to the same species. He says he found it in Azab and all along the oaast of Babelmandel. It is probable that the balm alluded to by Ezekiel and which was produced in Judah and the land of Israel, was the Amyris opobalsa. mum, or balsam of Mecca, now so much prized in the East, and which is still collected in the neighborhood of the Like of Genneeareth. Ledy M. W Montague has given a very good description of this balm. It is at first turbid and white, of a very strong, pungent smell, like that of tnrpentine, but sweeter and more fragrant, like mint; varying according to its good- ness,•and of a bitter -acid and astrin- gent taste. By age. it becomes thin, light, limped, and of a greenieh hue, and then of a golden colour. When. very old, it grows thick like turpentine, and loses much of its fragrance. It is so scarce that none of it comes here; nor are its virtues perhaps superior to some of the resinous juices sold in the shops. It has been esteemed as a cosmetic; but we bear little of its medicinal or sedative. qualities. The Eastern women, in particular, make great use of it. The Iady above mentioned informs tie, that balm, when applied to the face, caused it to become swelled and red for some days, but that her complexion was much im• proved by it. She says, that the best quality isnot easily procured, even at Constantinople, where the women all uie it, and have the loveliest bloom in the world. 'The real balm of Gilead tree is about fourteen feet high, with diverging purple branches, str"ated a little, having protuberant buds lo rd - ed with balsamic resin. It is of the class Octandria ; order, Monogynia; and, like many of that clash, bears a drupaceous fruit. It le; sometimes called Balsamodendron Gileadense. Tbeophrastus says, that in his time only two enclosures of small extent were—known to produce this plant. Virgil mentions .'balm distilledfrom wood:;" which were, no doubt, dis- tinct from that brought from Gilead. The Hebrew word for the plant is bake; and the Baka's Vale of the Psalmist evidently alludes to some vale where the balm -tree grew, which seems to have been well watered, DOLLAR DAY Our store is full of the Best eatables and we ask everyone coming to Wingham on that day to give us a call.
