GOD'S COVENANT WITH NOAH.
Sunday, May 2.—Genesis 5:28 to
9:29.
Golden Text.
I do set my bow in the cloud, and
it shall be for a token of a eovenant
between me and the earth (Gen. 9:
13).
Genesis is the Book of Beginnings;
and in these chapters on the flood we
find an inspired record of various
first things in history, which are con-

(9:6). God has never revoked that
command, but it is still a steward -

God's saving and cleansing grace, ,
and by faith he was "a just man," I
—justified by faith, accepting God's I
righteousness by faith. This is made I
.plain in the New Testament descrip-
tion of Noah, that he "because heir
of the righteousness which is by
faith" (Heb. 11:7).
It took real trust ki God to obey
• the command to build the ark. But
• true faith always obeys God. It
would appear that Noah's family was
the only one on earth just then, wil-
ling to "trust and obey."
Men can escape the necessary and
righteous wrath of God against sin
only by taking refuge in Christ. Thus
the ark is a type of Christ; and it is
a striking fact, as Scofield and others
have pointed out, that the Hebrew
ivord translated "pitch" in Genesis
6:14, "pitch it within and without
with pitch," is the word translated
"atonement" in Leviticus 17:11, etc.
-"It is atonement that keeps out the
waters of judgment and makes the
believer's position in Christ safe and
blessed."
God's provision of grace took care
of the animal creation as well as the
human race, and saved some "of et,
ery living thing of all flesh." Who-
ever or whatever entered that ark
was safe. When a troubled Christtan
once said to Moody that he was a-
fraid his faith was not just what it
ought to be, Moody replied, "Was it
Noah's faith in the ark, or was it
the ark that saved him:"
Again, someone has well said that
the mouse was just as safe in the
ark as the elephant. God can care
for us all alike, weak or strong, if
only we will enter into Christ.
While "the rain was upon the
earth forty days and foety nights,"
we do not always realize that it was
something more than a year that
Noah and his family and all the liv-
ing cargo were kept in the ark. This
is evident' froin placing Genesie 7:
11 alongside 8113, 14, Moreover the
waters increasingly prevailed upon
the earth for alorost six months of

It is a beautiful expression of
Noah's true faith that the first thing
ho did after being released from the,
ark was to build an altar unto the
Lord and offer a living sacrifice.
And now we find that the assurance
of Noah's father was justified. For

CHIEF SOURCES OF
MILK CONTAMINATION
---
Milk producers, as a whole, are
well aware that the keeping quality
of milk, and its general fitness for
use in manufacturing our various
dairy products and for the fresh milk
trade depend on the extent to which
bacteria may be kept out, or kept in
check. Efficient cooling is the pro-
per measure to take to keep bacteria
in check, but this alone is not suffic-
ient, for it only slows down the de-
velopment of the germs already in
the milk. Bacteria should be kept out
as far as possible and much hos been
written on the setbject of milk con-
tamination and all the possible aven-
ues of infection to which milk is
open.
The sources of contamination are
indeed many, and are frequently enu-
merated at such length as to cause
confusion, and make the average
farmer wonder just where to start
to improve the quality of his milk.
We think that rather too much em-
phasis has been laid on having the
producer consider all possible sour-
ces of infection, and too little placed
on a knowledge of the chief sources.
Extensive toohs at the Central Ex-
perimental Farm on the relative im-
portance of the different sources of
infection, showed two to stand out
pre-eminently, namely, improperly
cleaned pails or other containers and
dirt from the cow falling directly into
the milk. Other sources of contain-
ination such as the stable air, wet
milking, neglect to discard foremilk,
or to wash Minds or to wash off the
udder, fregling hay before mincing.,
etc, were found, naturally, to in-
crease the germ content, but were
of much lesser importance as acttial
sources of contamination.
1 The minor sources of contamina-
tion should not be neglected, but
care taken with regard to them will
only show results if the pails and
animals are clean; otherwise extra
precautions are wasted. It cannot
be too strongly emphasized that the
I producer who is desirous of Improv -
ling the quality of his milk should
Istart by insuring that he has a clean
'pail, a covered pail ad a clean cow.

First Series Named.
(By Corney Siinmonds)
The advent of the automobile,
coupled with the revival of the love
of rural "bikes," has opened up anew
to the eity dweller, the glorious
beauties of nature's floral world.
Even a casual glance at the familiar
wild flowers growing by roadside, in
the open-field, or nestling, half -hid-
den in the less frequented bush, by
purling stream or the uninviting bog -
lands, ie a revelation of wonder. To
see, to know, to become intimate
with nature's very own, "unimprov-
ed" plant life, is a study worthy of
much devotion and sure ;to bring
high reward of pleasure, and valu-
able information.
This information is not intended
to exhaust such a fascinating and
wide study, but to break ground upon
it, that somewhat of its glories may
be discovered and that he who will
may be inspired to a deservingly
deeper study.
As a preliminary step, may the
advice be offered, and the warning
be given, that, even in the pursuit
of knoevledge, as little waste and
destruction of flower life as is pos-
sible enter into the study? If, as
some scientists now claim, pants have
a sensitive life, that alone should pro-
tect these loveliest of God's creatures
front needless destruction. Or that
denied, yet respect for the pleasure
of other nature -lovers coming after
him should check the eager fingers
of the roamer and floral beauties
from a ruthless destruction of this
form of life's loveliness. Reeve]:
gathering is a form of flower destruc-
tion. All that is gained is, speaking
generally, the brief pleasure of a
few hour's personal and exclusive
possession of what—like the pure,
sweet breezes and the glorious sun-
shine—should be the common proper-
ty and perpetual pleasure of all.
A fascinating stud -y for spring,
summer and fall—should be un.der-
taken with as little destruction as
possible, a healthful and inspirreg
recreation for young and old frem
city and rural home.
If the wholesome and indiecrimin-
ating destruction of wild flower blos-
soms continues at the rate of recent
years, it is highly probable, especial-
ly among the seed bearing plants,
some of the most beautiful and rich-
ly scented may disappear from the
travelled roadways and much fre-
quented districts. Cars literally lad-
en with bloom, from orchard and
woodland, are often seen, evidence
of thoughtlessness or indifference,
against svhich every flower -lover
should enter protest.

The Blue Flag is of the Iris fam-
ily, inhabitant of the open folds, very
hardy, perennial and well worth cal-
tivating, though, many flower lovers '
claim even the "improved" garden
eamples cannot surpass in beauty the
native species. The leaves are quite
long, mostly clustered at the. base of
the stem, and the flowers come on
short peduncles, are large, and of a
pure, rich blue; the three outer divi-
sions variegated with yellow and
spread outwards. The astringent
qualities of the roots of this thiever
are the basis of many herb medicines.

It is the famous fleur de lie., the lily

THE IMPORTANCE
OF LEGUMINOUS
HAY CROP
In Eastern Canada where the
maintenance of soil fertility and the
economical production of dairy pro-
ducts is essential to successful agri-
culture, the growing of leguminous
hay crops, such as red clover, alsike
and alfalfa, should receive greater
attention. They make use of the
free nitrogen of the air, thus assist-
ing in maintaining the fertility of
the soil, and as feed, they are rich
in protein and mineral matter.
"To be a friend of flowers, is bet-
ter than to be a botanist," says a
web known horticultural 'authority.
Yet the friend of flowers will knew
them better and love them more ard-
ently if he learn at least a littio
about plant structure and plant life.
Briefly, then, the roots, the stem,
and the leaves of a plant are its
structural organs, while the flowers
or the fruits may be termed the or-
gans of propagation, and the seed
the moans of reproduction. Plants
called annuals complete this cycle in
one year or less—complete this cyc-
le and the die. Others which live
two years are called biennials; and
yet others that live on for more than
two years, are named perennials.
The root deyelopments may be flb-
Vane 40 is grass; or fleshy, as a tur-
nip; or aerial, as are poison -ivy and
other climbers; tuberous, fie are be-
gonias; and some have corm roots,
OS have gladioli. Some have combin-
ations of these. Many perennial
plants have short, thick underground
stems which contain the food supply
for the next year's growth. There
are many modifications which may be
noted later. Thorns are modified
branches, leaves act as digestive or-
gans a.nd as lungs. The "food" is
generally taken up by the roots, to
be digested mainly by the leaves but
sometimes, as in insect eating plant%
the leaf by its form or by meane ef
a stiolcy seeretien catches insects,
hide them till they die, arid, absorbs
them as food, The different kinds of
leaves may be left for description as
the individuals are named,

The growing of red clover for hay
has become an established practice
on most dairy farms, but there are,
even yet, many farms on which it is
not being regularly or extensively
grown. Being biennial in habit, it
produces the best hay crop the year
following seeding, with a stall per-
centage appearing in the second year
hay. Thus where meadows are left
down four years, the percentage of
clover hay produced will not be. large.
Unless alfalfa is grown, the adoption
of a cropping system where the seed-
ing to clover will be more frequent
is the only means of inceoasing the
percentage of leguminous hay on the
farms. The objection is raised that
this methodis expensive because of
the necessity of re -seeding so fre-
quently. This is hardly the case
when we consider the increased val-
ue of feed produced, the beneficial
effect of the clover on the fertility
of the land„ and, that on an average
of six years, red clover seed has been
produced on the Dominion Illustra-
tion Stations' in Ontario ,and Quebec
for 11 WI, cents per pound. By grow-
ing sufficient seed for one's own re-
quirements, the seed cost can be
greatly reduced, a hardy strain is as-
sured and no weeds are introduced.
It is impoetant to use plenty of seed,
espoeially if the land is. poor. On
heavy soils a mixture of 8 pounds re4
clover, 2 pounds alsike and 10
pounds timothy has proven very sat-
isfactory. On the lighter soils and,
those inclined to be moist, 5 pounds
red clover, 5 pounds alsike and 10
pounds timothy will give better re-
sults. In each ease, 20 pounds of this
mixture is seeded to the acre. '
While many attempts to grow alf-
alfa have nig with only partial suc-
cess, many have succeeded, and its
produetion is steadily increasing.
Lack of drainage, acid soil, the use
of un -acclimatized seed and neglect-
ing to inoculate have contributed to
nmny failures, An encouraging
feature with regard to the future of
the orop is that a sufficient acreage
is now being grown that ono can pro-
dpoe hardy, home-grown seed at pri-
ces which warrant farmers making a
trial of this crop. In .districts where
alfalfa hall not been tried or on
&rims where the success of the crop
is uncertain, the Division of Illustra-
tion Stations followand edvocates
the method of adding a few pounds
of alfalfa to the regular grass and
clover mixture when seeding down.
The alfalfa seed is first treated with
nitro -culture, and 20 pounds of al
mixture made up ,in the proportion I
of 6 pounds alfalfa, 6 pound e led;
clover, pounds alsike and 10 pounds I

SANDWICH FILLING
A delicious sandwich filling is made
by flaking a can of tuna fish and ad-
ding mayonnaise dressing, Worces-
tershire sauce, salt and pepper to
taste. It is most nutricious on whole
wheat bread.
YOU AND. YOUR HAT
Whatever your hat trey or may
not do, it must cover every bit of
your hair, except a lock or so on eith-
er side of the face, making what is
lcnown as a soft line. If it knows its
.duty it will completely cover your
hair in the back.
PLAIN BACKGROUNDS ,
Plaid chiffon and plaid tagetas are
very smart this year, particularly for
afternoon frocks. Usually the com-
bination is high color on a dark, con-
servative ground.
SERVE WAFERS HOT
Put the crackers you serve with
chowder in the oven and have them
piping hot They are much more de-
licious this way.
LIGHT AND PUFFY
If you want an omelet to be very
light and puffy, beat the whites and
yolks of the egg separately and com-
bine very gently jait before you put
the mixture into the pan.
FOR LADY NIC
The smoking suit is undoubtedly
one of the many novelties introduced
early that is getting a sabstantial
hold on the mode. At its best 11

short wool skirt, and a buttonhole

hair fern.
A RESTAURANT Ti?.
If you serve poached eggs with
Hollandaise sauce, on squares of I'
bread or muffin, with a piece of ham ;
sandwiched between the egg and the '
bread, you will have eggs Benedic-
tine, one of the most popular egg
dishes on anylicitel bill of fare.
SAVE THE PAPER
You should always save any piec-
es of wall paper that are left after
redecorating a room, and then you
can repair any damages to the wall
by cutting a new piece and fitting on
a patch. If you do it neatly and deft-
ly it will never show, particularly if
the paper has a pattern, you super-
impose a new design exactly over an
old one.

OLD CAKE TINS
If your cake tin has been used
many times, and becomes stained anti
roughened, always line it with waxed
paper before you put in the cake
dough.
HATS OFFER CONTRAST
The colored felt hats of the mom-
ent, with small brims and no trim-
ming, are ideal with the tailored
suit, particularly if they bring out a
color contrast Models of Pervenche
blue, artichoke green and the brown-
ish orange shades are exceedingly
good.
TO SAVE GLOVES
Rubber gloves are often short-
lived, more's the pity, and for that
reason many women forego the lux-
ury of them. However, if you will
put a little cotton in each finger,
your fingernails 'will not press against
them, and you are apt to get consid-
erably more wear frone a pair.
FOR LUNCHEON
For a luncheon dish there is much
nourishment and well balanced food
values in a platter of green string
beans and crisp broiled bacon.
EXTRAVAGANCE
Keep your kitchen as well equipped
as you can. Poor utensils mean bad-
ly cooked food and this is one form
of extravagance.
BUYING HINT
You can make a number of very
decorative handkerchiefs from a half
yard of crepe de chine. Have it picot -
ed in even squares and out them
yourself. The cost will be but a
fraction of what the number would
be at a shop.
FOR FINER TEXTURE
In order to get the delicate, fine-
grained texture that a cup of custard
shou/d have, cook it.at a very low
temperature.
One of the patrons of a coun-
ty fair noticed a melancholy in-
dividual who persisted in re-
maining on one of the merry-
go-rounds, Eventually the on-
looker could stand it no longer,
and, getting on the merry-go-
round himself, asked the indiv-
idual if he liked it.
"No," came the answer. "1
don't like it a bit!"
"Then why don't you get off
when it stops? Why persist in
going round time after time?"
asked the curious one.
"I ean'e help it," came the
meaningful reply. "The owner
of the thing owes me money,
and the only way I can get it
