In dietricta where eerie' foots make corn an uncertain crop, oats and peat' oan be grown profitably 101' silage Oats and peas withstand light frosts .and make en excellent growth, even with low temperatures, When unfav- ormble weather for harvesting clover sets in, such es a long rainy spell, the clover can first be, put in the silo after which the outs and peas can be harvested. In sections where corn will not do well on account of a lack of heat, oats and peas, as a rule, will Produce more tonnage and the silage will be much better, being nearer a balanced ration, A dressing of barn, yard, manure will increase the yield, especially on new lands which have not been inoculated by clovers. Oats and peas contain more than twice as much protein as corn, and therefore make a ration which is practically well balanced in itself. As a food for dairy cows it is most excellent, and will sub- stitute the best of pasture. In the fall of 1918•• I had an occasion to test the worth of eat and pen silage compared with corn silage, I had been feeding corn silage to a number of dairy cows, and on the twenty-first of January came to the place in the -tile where oats and peas had been put in., We noticed,at once: an increase in the production of milk from eur herd. One cow which was nearly dry, giving about fourteen pounds- per day, rose quickly to twenty pounds per day; an- other increased front fifteen pounds to twenty-four, pounds, and similar increases were noted. by other animals of the herd. This was ,sufficient, evi- dence for us to prove thatoats and pea silage was superior to corn silage, especially when given as we were feeding. Our method of sowing is to work the ground as early in the spring as it can be plowed and harrowed, then sowing one and one-half bushels of peas to one and one-half bushels of oats per acre. The oats and peas will germinate even when the ground is cold and wet, and late spring frosts will not destroy the plants. The crop will come on in mid -summer, and when the peasare well .podded and most of the pods filled, the crop is ready for the silo. It should be .cut and put in the silo whenstili green. Do not allow the forage to become dry and then be obliged to add water; the natural juice of the plants is the best and cannot be replaced by,adding water. Oats and peas can be handled much the same as hay when made into sil- age,- 1t is better to cut, however, when the dew is on to prevent peas and oats from shelling. The land is cleared in ample time to prepare the ground for winter rye or wheat. This is a, special advantage when consider- able land is being fanned and Iabor is scarce and hard to get. Oats and peas .are much .easier. to .raise than corn as they can be planted fully a month earlier and will not be damaged by frosts. More than that, no culti- vation is needed, and where quack grass is bothersome, a heavy Yield will choice out .and destroy the quack grass. Working and Printing Butter. I have often wondered if the aver- age farm buttermaker realized the importance of working butter proper- ly, after it has "come" in the churn. I have found that there are many b_ttermakers who do not think that p it 18 necessary to bother with a butter, worker. I know of a certain lady who has a good reputation es a butter, maker-, but I have noticed .,that her butter sometimes has a pale, salvY look to it, I did not know the reason for it until I saw her working her butter She took it in her hands and kneaded it and squeezed it in iter chopping bowl, and after she thought that it had received enough working sho took a handful and pressed it into her butter -mold to print it, By then it was a greasy mess, One can realize it better when he understands that the temperature of the hands is around 100 degrees P., Whereas the temperature of the butter should be in the neighborhood of 55 degrees. Such a ditferellee, of course, makes the buttermelt more or less, which spoils the grain. Then, again, in looking at it from a sanitary stand- point, working the butter with the hands cannot be as clean as when using a butterworker, as the butter 'Is more apt to absorb,impurities when made soft by t he heat of the hands. It is true that bread is often made with the hands, but, although it would certainly be cleaner notto use the hands, bread or Any mixture made of flour does not have the absorbing tendency of butter or other grease - like substance. Butter handled with the hands is very apt to have a greasy, saivy tex- ture, and it also has ,poor keeping qualities on account of being subject- ed to extremes in temperature. I have noticed that quite a few farmers who have a fancy print for their butter do not realize that, al- though the mold may be supposed -to print' a certain amount in weight (in my neighborhood the one -pound seems to be the most popular), it does not always make the correct .weight, de- pending somewhat on the firmness of the butter and the time of the year that it is made, and also on the way that it is handled. A very fancy print is more ,inclined to vary than one that is plainer. I know a farmer who had a nice hotel trade for his butter. He was really a good buttermaker and had all the necessary equipment. He had a very fancy hotter mold which made a "hit." But he lost his trade at the hotel and at other places. To -day he is selling milk instead of butter. He never has known the reason why he could not find steady customers for his butter. But one day I was talking with' a man who was a guest at the hotel, and he told nee that he had seen the hotel people weighing the butter, and there had been times when .it was as much as two ounces under weight. The hotel people, of course, thought they were being cheated. I know the farmer who .made the butter was honest, but I remember how., he printed it. He.would ;take a piece and press it into the mold hard, slide the ladle along the edge to even it - off, and wrap it in parchment paper. "Of' course there trust be an exact pound, because it was a pound 'mold," he thought. • I know. a woman who, makes nice butter. It is printed in pound lots, but I found that T always got a pound and two ounces when I weighed it. No doubt, you can hold your trade better by giving • overweight than underweight, for the 'average person does not like to feel that he isbeing cheated, but it is not very good busi- ness to give a pound and an ounce when you are being paid for one ound. I am,, one of the users of a self - feeder. Mine is not an expensive one. I made it myself. My first experience with .it was with 16 hogs. None of them weighed over 160 pounds. I made it five feet long•,.and it fed from one side only. There are two compart- ments. At first I thought it would be too small, but now I see that it was plenty big enough. There is only one reason,for having more room, and that c is to allow a larger amount of feed r to be dumped in at one time. m As a matter of fact, a feeder of this s lend is used all the time, and there are seldom more than two or three pigs eating at one time. So what is the use of having a feeder `so big? pl I don't know of any.reason,. And what in is the use of five or pix compartments b for the pigs to look into when they in feel a little hungry? I don't see any. u So last fall, when I got my 16 pigs in m1 clover, I threw the corn for them in over the fence every couple of days, ly and kept the Solt -feeder full of tank- e age. I hauled a tank of -water out, an and let it drip a little all day into a r trough for them. So they had water and coria and tankage with clover ed forage. What more could a pig want? My feeder cost in actual .material purchased about $,4.. That was for matched siding used in it. The 2x4 stuff was on the- farm, and the roof was also a piece, left from roofing the hen house. Most farms have this same material lying around ie a pile, to just why should we pay $20 or $80 for n feeder is not quite clear to me, My hogs grew faster than I ever had any grow before, and I know the :feeder paid. I also think that a $8 feeder made them grow just, as fast as a $80 one would. So I'm $27 ahead, and that is just about the price of another pig' --at present prices. • musty interior.

Whatever kind of signals you decide to use, an emblem that shows the identity of each one of the party will be necessary. ' .A branch from some particular' tree snakes a good sign- ature. A twig of ash, fist example, -placed between two stones of a pile, shows who placed it there. ' If a 'girl wishes to inform a friend who has lingered behind which of two iutersecting trails she has taken, she sharpens a twig to a point and places it between two stones so that it points toward the trail that she has taken; then she adds her special mark of identification. The most common messages in. the woods are those that indicate identity end direction; it is less often neces- sary to leave information relative to time. For that, make two piles of stones; the number of stones in one pile denotes - the time: at which the message was left; the other heap car- ries the arrow and signature. It is generally ,better to separate different. messages in that way, and not to complicate matters by including a time signal with a direction sign. If you wish to inform the friend who follows that you will return to a certain place at a designated hour, leave three piles of stones with a pointed twig fastened in the middle pile, together with your signature. The stones behind the arrow that indi- cates that direction show when you left, those in front of it, when you will return. Those signals can be easily and quickly arranged, and the friend who follows will be able to read your message at a glance. For example, suppose that a girl who follows finds that the trail has two forks, and that in the intersection is a twig placed among stones and pointing in the direction of the right- hand trail. She 'also finds a mark of identification. Behind the arrow are ten stones; ill front of it, three.. It should be clear that the person who left the message has taken the right- hand trail, that she started • at ten o'clock and will return at three. k met Old the ooie Old ite Pig nd on Old the ole nto Id its nk tie nt es.

My Tractor Does the Work of Six - Horses. The tractor is the greatest adver- tiser that. has ever: been found for extensive and intensive' farthing. I believe that by the use of a tractor modern agriculture -' has been 'made successful. From my experience I derive the opinion that it, takes a farm: of 125 acres or more to make the tractor pay iike,most purchasers expect it to. But there is a tractor for every farm and for every pur- pose. The farm on which' 2 use my tractor is about 200 acres, 'AM this. would re- quire every bit bf six good horses, be - Cause I put-netulyeall'is grain. Be - ,sides, 22 would require ail'extra hand and team during the' seeditlgarid 'har- :vestingg time. •What it would cost to keep those six horse$ I can't tell you, but • I- know they tvoulcl cost about three -times what it 1? costing'me nqv. The cosh of keeping any tractor is not .very laxge.- When Ian -t piotving'I nee .abeut'20 cents' worth of kerosene to the acre, The lttbrtctlt;tyg oil, gasoline, and ,grease amount to about 8 cents an acre. This makes about 28 cents to the acre for plowing, and plowing 10 acres a day costs abort $2.80. I always consider a day's work to cost me about $2.80, whether: I ata plow- ing, disking, or reaping. Except when I am doing a small job, the cost is according to the load. The tractor I chose ;for my 200 acres in cultivation was a 12-20. The rea- sons I chose this matte were First, it wee the proper size for my farm; second, it wasn't a cheap and halt - constituted tractor but; 'bolted by years;of oxpeelence; third, I con5111010l the type al motor it had, as 2 believe it takes a four-oylinder four-cycle motor to mulcts the small tractor suc- cessful; fourth, this traotor is •easily aecossiulo to all leetts by 0813' lifting up the shies of the ]wood, which makes it easy to take it apart and to replace any worn parts; fifth, it was 02 the four-wheel constt'tsction, 415 I believe that every tractor should have lour wheels; :lath, it was of a very simple and durable construction, t o I believe that the fewer parts{ it tractor has the less 2101.8 aro to weer oOt. I put nearly all the fields 3n grain, and attend to every acre myself, ex- cept during reaping and threshing time, In summer I plow every acre with it, and do all this myself, averag- ing about 10 acres a day with a four - disk plow. The last two years I plowed 500 acres on the average of 10 acres a day; counting delays, breakdowns, etc., and at the same time keeping the tractor in A-1 condition, I don't claim to be breaking any records, but if you put these figures before the ordinary small -tractor owner he night consider then well 'worth looking at. After I ant through plowing I -disk my land and put it all in good condi- tion for seeding time. I do all this with the tractor. But when the time comes to seed I rent a fete Horses, as I need them only a short time. I figure that this is cheaper than the equipment would cost to fix up a good rig .to seed with my tractor. But I expect some day I might also do this job with a tractor. When reaping time conies there is nothing that beats a tractor in pulling a reaper. I have seven speeds of my tractor and I set it to go about 8,5 to 4 miles en hour and you ought to sec tha bundles conte out. Otte thing that will eel my utoy shorter than that of some 02 your readers' ,is that 1 will not lie able to tell you anything about breakdowns, as i Haven't had n breakdown in Ilia two years T have owned my tractor. Now, I don't want to claim that T haven't had any i'opeir bills, but they have been small, became I altvey5 re- pair and replace in time. I look my gcter over every new mid `then, necl 2 look lot went karts that need re- placing. So I keep my tractor always in good shape, mud avoid Large repair bills.

Welfare of the Home Baby's Second Summer. • By IDA M. ALEXANDER, - M.D. If the teeth -have been coming in at a normal rate, the baby should have eight teeth at ten months -of age and the really healthy baby has not been cross, because he had has plenty of cool water to drink, If the teeth have come .in very slowly, I take it for a sign •that the baby's stomach very slowly is getting ready for more food, and more caution is necessary •in in- creasing the baby's food as to variety. If all has gone well, one more meal may be changed from nursing to spoon feeding. If it is now summer, then this feeding had better be a sauce made of good prunes, that have been cooked until soft and, then put through a colander. Cut slices of bread thin, roast them in the oven till they are a light brown and soften the bread with the prune sauce. This should be one meal. In winter, clear broth with the toasted bread may be used and the brothmay be made with fresh beef, veal, mutton or chicken,: When the third meal is changed into spoon feeding, gine wheat cereal that has been boiled one hour, or oatmeal that has been boiled for four hours. ing, and the baby, intereated in man3 things in the niorniiig, will not miss that morning feeding very much; the mother having gradually cut off 'ons feeding and then. the .other will not have 'such bard work'to "dry up het milk," as 'elle calls it. Nature is very, sensible, if you 'will work with her instead• of against her. When baby is put to the breast less encj less often, she will -take more and more time to make tip the baby's mills ,sup- ply, until' at last the breast milk ceas- es to come at all. It, is so much -easier for both mother and baby to change to the new foods gradually and take never more than one new food at one week. You may find it hard to keep the over -wise ,people from interfering with the baby's diet. "Oil, give her a taste of that cake, it won't host her!" one will say.

Golden Text, -• Joshua 1: 6. 1-3, He told not his father. When Saul came up from Giigal to join his son at Gtbeah he had only six hundred men left out of his army of three thousand. The •Philistine fusee was very large in comparison with the combined numbers of Saul and Jona- than, but the numbers given in 13: 5 may have been increased by a scribe's error, Thirty thousand chariots would have been of little use in that ragged and mountainous. country. Besides three bands of raiders had gone out from the Philistine eamp in different directions, thus materially reducing the numbers of the main body. 'In any case, however, Saul must hems been in great anxiety and distress of mind, and it is not at all likely that he would have given consent to so rash an adventure as that- proposed by his son. So Jonathan, and the young mail who bore his shield -and weapons, stole away on their daring expedition without any of the people knowing. Saul .tarried itt Gibeah, his tent pitched in tate shade of a pomegranate tree. With itim was the pviest Ahlah, or "A1lijah," a groat -grandson of 1011, wearing au ephod, that is a sort of cloak or coat, covering the shoulders and secured rotnid the 'waist by n girdle, which was the distinctive priestly garment. 4-5. Between the passages, or "passes." These may have been ra- vines running down from one side 01 the other into the stain valley, by means of which 3t was easy to go down, cross over, and ascend on the other side without being seen. Two sharp tori.s, or rocky crags, are men- tioned, "The one erng rose up 041 the north in tient of Michmtish, twad the other on the south in front of (leba" (see Rev. Version). The mein valley" is described by, Kelman as "the gully; of lefiellmualt;' and as "not like a valley, but a crack in the rocks, hum 1 deeds of feet deep;" 6-10. "To save by many or by few.", These words o2 coinage and of faith. have been abundantly justified both in Jewish and in Christian history. Victory has not always gone to the greatest numbers or to the strongest battalions. Compare Judges 7: 4-7 and 2.Chron. 14: 11. Before the battle at Beth-horon, in which the 1.ttle band of heroes -under Judas Maccabaeus faced •a big army, Judas is said Is have spbken these great words: "With heaven it is all one, to save by many OT by few; for victory in battle steed- eth not in the multitude of a host, but strength is from heaven." (1 afesr. 8: 16-21; compare bleb. 11: 34.) - "This shall be a sign." It was char- acteristic of the faith of that age to loop for indications of God's will in signs and omens. Ccmeara the store .of Gideon and the sign, cr otnen of the dream in Judges 7: 0.15, 11-18.
