By that we do not moan elbow-'

Where is there a farm that can not
use a smell engine, burning gasoline
or kerosene for pumping water?
Even on ferias that ,rove windmills
for pumping there is a place for an
engine, for the wend does not always
blow when power is ueeded for pump-
ing.
On a stook fern1, where water for
the stock must be pumped by the
use of deco-rrea<e, pumping takes
fr'orn thirty minutes to an haul a
day, Figuring later at the rate of
thirty cents an hour, one clan's time
amounts to $109.50 a yeitr-•-enough
to pay for an engine. While not
busy pumping the engine ran be do-
ing other work around the farm—
running the washing -machine, churn,
feed grinder, etc.
Small engines suitable for pumping
can be mounted on skirls or trucks.
This makes it easy to move an engine
from one job to another, if used for
different jobs. On some large farms
there is en''ough pumping to keep one
engine busy all the time—pumping
for the stock, for the ,irrigation sys-•
tem in the garden and for the storage
supply tank.
An -engine for pumping does not re-
quire any attention from the time it
is started until it is to be stopped,
A common praclire is to start the
engine before heginniug to chore in
the morning. It can be stopped be-
fore going to the field to work. In
the evening it can he started when
watering the horses and allowed to
run until the chores are done, If the
pumping requires more time, the en-
gine can be kept running during the
noon hour•. In some cases it is kept
running during the forenoon or ofter-
noun.
When used for pumping out-of-
d•.m•:; a cover should be provided
for the engine,
Do You Suffer From Tinkeritis?
This story has to do with a peculiar
malady. I have seen it work in many
localities and in all walks of life. Its
victim seldom knows that he is af-
flicted. It is a habit more than a
dieelse, and more of a disease than
many people suspect. It is called
tinkcritd .
I have in mind r
nc a young fellow of
my own community who is badly af-
fected This young man is well
posted on things pertaining to agri-
culture, rents a fine farm of 140
acres, has the privilege of remaining
on it for five years longer, and has
already farmed it for three years. It
is well fenced, has good buildings,
two silos, and all of this for a price
that the average renter would jump
at. But this loan has just about
broken even, and will be lucky .if he

their wounded heroes, and I know it
will seem as if we cordo, not fete then
eneugb when we get them back. May
I tell you of a bit of advice given me
by a doctor at one of the camp hospi-
tals ?
"Don't ask the wounded men about
their experiences," he said. "They
may want to talk about them but don't 1
let them."
And as a word to the wise is suf-
flcient we, will assume that our On-
tario girl won't let her guests remind
their guest of honor of anything he
has been through.
.I would make a party for a returned
soldier as suggestive of pre-war days
as I could. I would have nothing to
remind him of war and all that is
associated with it. Perhaps a big
flag prominently displayed would not
be inappropriate, but for the rest I
should have just flowers and the con-
ventional decorations we used to have
before ere thought everything must be
decked with insignia and Red Cross
colors,
Could you have a progressive din-
ner served from six to eight small
tables according to the number of
guests? The guest of honor stays in
one place and the others progress to
him. You would need only two or three
courses if you could not prepare an
elaborate menu and then you would
have the evening for informal card
games and guessing contests. Then as
a souvenir for the soldier you are
honoring, have some artistic one am-
ong you make up a little booklet in
the leaves of which you could all in-
scribe your names and he could keep
this as a memento of this event.
Doubtful:—I agree with you that
every girl does want a home of her
own and it is hard when parents do
not like their daughters to receive

Little Boy's Wild Friend,•.
Once there was a little Boy who
loved all the wild things; the birds,
the spiders, the caterpillars, the but-
terflies, the tadpoles, and even the
little green snakes.
He knew where the meadow lark
made her neat in the grass; he was
the first to find the tree where the
baby robins were being fed; he sat
for baurs watching the queer looking
spiders weaving their webs in the
bushes, and once brought home a big
gray spider in a box, which he kept
for a long time hoping it would show
him what kind of a web it could
weave. When it wouldn't weave lie
said the spider was homesick and he
put it out on the vines around the
Porch.
He gathered the little brown
houses the caterpillars make when
they gel; tired of being caterpillars
and want to be butterflies, and wat-
ched them crawl out of their houses the year in planting trees and flowers,
and unfold their pretty wings to fly has been neglected, but fortunately,

Boy ran to his mother crying, "Oh,
mamma, all my fieh are froze!"
Sure enough Jacic Frost had iced
the water so that the fish could not
swim and Little Boy thought they
were all dead. But mother put the
glass jar near the stove and while he
watched the warm air melted the ice
and they soon began to wiggle as
lively as ever.
One day Little Boy came home
from a walk in the woods with a
green snake in his pocket. He scared
little sister by malting snake open
his mouth and wiggle his tongue at
her, for lie wasn't afraid of snakes
and didn't see why she should be; he
thought it was just funny to see the
little tongue wiggle. When Little
Boy's papa said something, about
killing the green snake, Little Boy)
ran out into the bushes and when he
cams back he said:
"I told snake to run along home to
his mamma, she might be worried
about him if he stayed any longer'."
The wise man will build wisely,
on a foundation well and truly laid.
Jesus says that he who both hears
and does in such a man. He builds
upon a rock and his building stands
the shock of storm and flood. Not so
the foolish man who builds on the
1 shifting and uncertain sands. His
house will not stand,
I In John 14:21-24 Jesus describes
' the man who truly loves Him. "Ile
that hath My commandments and
'keopeth them, he it is that loveth
1 Me." He promises that to one who
is thus obedient He will manifest
Himself. In answer to a disciple
who asked how that could be, Jesus
declared that God would love such
a titan and that both God and Christ
would come and well in him. If we
try to put this great truth in simple
words will it not be that the man who
hears and obeys becomes like Christ.
He is changed by love into the like-
ness of Christ, and se the Spirit of
God, which is the Spirit of Christ,
dwells in him, and speaks and acts
through him, To him God in Christ
is a present fact, a living reality, a
vitalizing force, a saving grace, wis-
dom, power, sanctification and re-
demption.
Reviving Arbor Day.
Tree -planting is something of a lost
art in Canada. For many years the
health -giving and wholesome custom
of baying children spend one day in
caterpillars come from?"
"Oh, mamma," said Little Boy, "I
was so sorry for the little caterpil-
lars last night when they crawled
round trying to find a warm place to
sleep that I brought them on and put
them in the big vase; please don't
throw them out, ,,lamina."
Little Boy brought home tiny min-
nows and tadpoles from the pond; he
put them in a gent glass jar, and
took much delight in feeding them.
One day he told a boy ab school that
. tadpoles grew to be frogs and this
boy said, "Aw, I don't bef jevo niter,

The Pig is a Good
Educator i
Ae a means of interesting the
pupils in animal husbandry, nothing
surpasses the school pig In value.
This project is as yet only in its in-
fancy, and only a few schools have
adopted the idea, hut those schools
that have tried it have found that
such a project more than paid for
itself in many ways. Generally, the
total receipts are net profit, and when
hogs are seking as they are now, at
from eighteen to twenty cents a
pound, it is a very easy matter for
a 1ehoul to make $33' or $40. In
revery ronimunity where the selmol
has eared for a pig there 10 a greater
irrter:et in hoe. production, a much
furtion. use of pure-bred oninlals, and
a more cordial and whole -hearted
support by the patrons.
In planning to undertake this work,
no school should have a pig unless
there are pupils living near enough
to see that it is watered and fed on
days when there are no classes. A
local breeder can generally be induc-
er] to donate a pig. If the pig has
to be bought, money is sometimes
raised by subscriptions front the pu-
pils and patrons, or borrowed from
a bank and repaid from the proceeds
of the sale of the pig. Ono school
secured its pig by soliciting subscrip-
tions to a farm paper. The teacher,
Miss Bcosie Daughtry, found that in
addition to interesting her pupils in
pork production and practical agri-
culture, she also stimulated her pat.
rens to read more.
After purchasing the pig, the
next step is to provide for it a small
lot and a good dry bed. Grazing
crops must be planted in :tenni with
the best practices of animal hus-
bandry, and here a valuable labora-
tory exercise is afforded in working
with field crops. The pupil becomes
familiar by actual practice with such
crops as rape, rye, oats, wheat, vetch
end clovers which are planted for
grazing, or for soiling purposes.
The idea of saving is emphasized
also by having the pupils save all the
scraps from lunch, which are gener-
ally a nuisance around the school
yard, and a means of attracting' roam-
ing dogs. These feeds should be sup-
plemented by a small amount of
grain feeds such as corn, wheat -mid-
dlings, soybeans, peanut -meal and
other good concentrates. Much of
this can be obtained by contributions
from the home, but most of it will
have to be bought. In using theeo
feeds the opportunity is offered the
pupil for a study in the proper mix-
ing of rations, using popular hullo -
tins to supplement the work as out.
lined in the school lessons.
One public school realized $67.73
from its 1''.g and used the money for
rchool furniture, in payment on a
piano, and in buying war saving
stamps. One of the patrons recently
said, "At the time we started with
the school pig there was only one
man in the cemmmnity who had pure-
bred hogs. Now there are six or
eight.,'
