Jewish workmen building a govern- ment road near Tiberias, Sea of Gali- lee, have uncovered a part of an an- -elect well and eolumsts which arch- aeologists belieVe belonged to the Rodent city of Tiberias, called after Tiberius Gasser, arid which played so important a part in 3ewish and Olivia - Ran history. Bible students assert that 11 we.s near this city that Jesus preached His Sennett oft the Mount. Close to it also is believed to have been the town from Whith hIarY Mag- dalene got her name. Aa soon" as the ruins were illsoVer. .ed the work was at olio stopped, and experts of the Department of An- pqttities, With two members of the lawfsh laxploratfon Soeiety, inspected them, Permission has been granted to the amolsh Exploration Society to tindertako eiceavations tia the spot. Iloyo and girls play together in Peraia, . Address commlnijoations to Agronomist, 73 Adelaide St. West, Toronto all the time, but at night only. To determine whether a ewe hoe -been cisred and at wbet time, the rem sheuld be paiiited en the ariaket so that he will leave his mark on the "wool of the ewe, ' Suitable feeding troughs should be provided for hay arid grain; Light portable tacks prove most satisfac- terse. . • 'Pure thanking water should be sup- plied in abunciance; it is the ehedipeSt part .of the tation and' often is the inost lacking. Each sheep should have from four to six pounds of watea daily. Sheep will not.talig po much unless it it available at all times. Salt should be kept before thein con- stantly, for an irregular supply in- duces ' scours. For the first two or three days they should not he allowed all the salt they will take, but at first it should be diaiolved in water one the brine sprinkled on their hay. • -There are several .precautions to ob- aerie -in shipping sheep and starting them on feed, ,. If the sheep have lice or ticks they should be cleppecl before they leave the Yards. They should not be Shipped the day they are dipped,'as the old night air fanning on them Will de- velop colds and a loos will result. Peed them hay and allow them to rest in the yards overnight. Give them pleilty of fresh water. They will then be hi better condition to ship. When driving sheep froM the local yards to the farm.let them take their time and eat along the roadside. They will not overeat if they are driven slowly. They will be very thirsty and should not be allowed to drink ail they want until the eecond day. The first night they should be kept in a yard and fed elover or alfalfa hay. The next morning after' they have had another feed of hay, turn them out to graze for three or four hours, If they are to be fed in a dry lot, start the grain the second day and increase it gradu- ally. Feed twenty pounds of corn, ,thirty pounds of silage and 1.5 pounds of clover or alfalfa hay a head a day. Gradnally increase their feed and in two or three Weeks have them on full feed. If the feeding period is 'to- be .short, get them on full feed in about two -weeks. Sheep have a better appe- tite on a bright clear day so itis best to make increases fin feed ori-anch day. Keep the feed troughs and the lots clean and fresh. When sheep axe fed in dry lot they should be fed at the same hour -each day. Feed twice each da -y, once in the early molting and again in the cool of the evening. If you have the range for the sheep it is more economical to let them gather a part of theMroughage. If they get off feed, reduce the grain part of the ration. Do not allow dogs nor strangers to enter the pens or frighten the sheep, for they will lose weight if frightened. Buyingand Feeding' Feeder Sheep. Sweets in buying and feediog lam33s depends upen the man who 'buys and feeds"them, A year -ago I was talking with a feeder who was in the yards looltirig for guile iambs. He told' nut that he bought a car -load the year be- fore just before they started down. He waited until they struck the- bot- tom and then purehesed another load to offset the lose on the first. He cladn't like the idea of just breaking Oven, So he ateught a third load and made money on the operatiens. The profit would have 'been three times greater had all 'three _loads been bought right. To have sucqess in feeding sheep the feeder meat knew how to select Ms sheep -and the best kind to select. He should be acquainted with the market conditions and the different market classes. The first thing to look for in buy- ing lambs is thrift. If the lambs are very thin, Make sure that their men- tion is due to hunger. The larabs, should parry their heads Up and their ears alert, and show a bright leek in their eyes. They sboula carry a heavy, compact fleece. Long, loose, •shagga fleeces do not protect the lambs ftom the .eold rains. The best weight is from fifty-five to fifty-eight,pounds.. In from sixty to ninety 'days such lambs, if properly handled, will weigh frozn seventy-five to ninety -pounds. Some.people think that the thinner a aeetlet lamb 'is, the faster will be the gain.T.hat is -a false undevetandina: don't he misled. The thin ones do not get so quick a start and the loss is likely to be great. The feeder in medium flesh is the one that will win out. . • .... If you are properly equipped.' arid have plenty of time and patience then you may consider buying ewes to carry over. In this case, examine the ewee closely; watch their teeth and their uddeas. Many ewes haare teats Clipped off when being shorn: Snell . ewes should be, sortecaout if they are .to be used ste bteedera.- If ewes are -bought far 'carrying over, mate them, with:purebred bucka of the mutton breed. There should be at -least one buck for every fifty ewes. The gestation period for ewea varies from 145 to 154 days. - With. a large'flock it is advisable to "flush" the ewes: This consists in giv- ing an extatt allowance of nutritfoissa highly palatable food for terse weeks or so before the desired date -of breed- ing. .The ewes will then be rapidly gaining in flesh. Not -only is the ewe then more -certain to produce a .vigar- ous lamb, 'but she .is a more reliable breeder and more likely to drop twhis. Also the flock will all 'breed within a shorter time if flushed, thus shorten- ing the lambing period with its anx- ious hours. Ennis should, not run with the ewes Of all domesticated poultry, turkeys are probably the most difficult to rear. -Froni the time they are hatched, up to that period of their life when, the red shoots into the head, they are more or less delicate and must receive special attention. ;after that they are pro- bably the most rugged of all fowls. The turkey chick has a very small crop and should be fed every two hours for the first week. For the first three or four, days hard-boiled eggs, mixed with bread crumbs or coarse oatmeal, can be given; but after that period the egg part may be dropped from the diet, although it generally is advisable to continue feeding it for a week, at least. Oh. ions are highly relished and they are very good for the poults. The onions should be chopped , up fine and kept constantly before the poults. Meat is another., essential, as well as green food, 'of which tender lettuce is best. A gobbler may be mated to ten hens. Pullets in their first year should he mated to a male in its 'second -year, while' hens over a year old are best mated to ,a vigorous cockerel. The turkey cock reaches maturity after the molt in its third year, and from then on is not reliable as- a stock bird. The hen prefers choosing her own nesting place, and usually where oho lays her first. egg she will drop all succeeding one. After laying from fifteen to twenty eggs, she. generally becomes broody. • , Interbreeding must be avoided. No- thing will Claim more weak and ill - conditioned stock then close relation- ship; and the offspring naturaliy be- come prey to disease. There, most be strict cleanliness -- cleats roosting places, clean feed, and pure, clean drinking water. The young znust be kept out of the rain; a sudden shower is generally fatal to therm ' . My neighbor asked me once to look at his pigs. I was about to step into the pen when he cautioned met "Bet- ter talce a Stick with you, the' sow is pretty ewes." , This 212 °anti 10 be exactly tette, The mot* sow was in no humor to tol- erate visitors. I soon aaw that I would enter her pen at the risk of my life. As a natural cotisemience I kept out. I have oftetpcontrasted the wildnese of my neighbor's sows with the gentle- ness of my own. I aos folly couvinced that it pays te bave gentle SOY'S, A,t farrowing time a have no difficulty in caring for my sows S they do ntit maid in the lest if I handle their pigs.

Because of her fear, the wild animal imagines danger to her young rnes. •As a result she frets and worries and uses up vital energy. Her pigs ac- quire the same fear and are hard to manage. Naturally they are _harder to. confine and -invariably 'strive to break hrough the fences. - Thecple fronr tame sows grow up tame, as it rule, and give a great deal less annoy- ance with respect to felted. In addi- tion to all this, a tante 'hog fattens more easily than a wild one, Baking Quality of the Lower Grades of Flour. With the ever-increasing cost pf living, ithas become necessary to find corresponding means of saving. The housewife is the person on whom most of the responsibility of economizing rests. The irie of some of the cheaper grades of flow instead of the highly expensive first pato zat -is another means of saving that may be added to the alteady bong list. During the war, all members of the community ward fotced to use' -government stand- ard lour'which was of a lower grade than mosi: people had been accustomed to. Nevertheless, moot of the bakers aucceeded in furnishing bread so good that fetv people would have consider- ed it distinctly inferior had it not been for the difference in eolor. Too much attention has, however, always been Paid to -color ia flour and bread. Bread. that 18 really very .pale iS got ,so healthful es breed, made .of somewhat lower grade of flour: and the war -time bread- was really superior as a.food tm o.ithe.extreely whith i product n use previously. Lower :grades of flour somewhat siniilgrto the government standatd dour _ e pur- chased but are not usually in, much demand on, =mint of their inferior color:-.- These second and third grade (Mina, howevet, contain e higher per- centage of ;protein and .assaailable phoephates; These featuree are dis- tinctly advantageous. While the lower grades of flour, may require some slialit; modification's in the baking method in order to product: the best possible aread, these olianges are not sevious and, as a nil°, no diffi- culty whatever will be experienced in handthig such flours.

As a rule, hens lay two or three eggs and then miss a da. Some good hens will lay more before they take a day off and we have known indialdual hens to lay five and six dozen eggs and not miss a day, but a record in long distance laying without a miss has, as far as we know, been establish- ed by -the Experimental Farm Poultry Division at their Kentville, N. S. -Sta- tion, *here a Barred Plymouth Rock pullet laid 104 eggs -in 104 days. This Barred Rock whose leg bent" No. is 63, did not start to lay very early. In fact her first egg was laid on the 26th of January. She laid two eggs and missed a day, laid five eggs and missed a day, four eggs and missed a day, one egg end it miss, then two eggs, but on the lath of February she got down to business and laid every day for the rest of the month, every day in March, every day in April, and 'every day in May up to the 27111 when she took two days off. After this time she took an occasional day off until' the 200 of June whap she became broody. When she went broody her total record was 136 eggs in 147 days, Arguing politics over a cracker bar- rel 'weer increased farm production.

About -'a mile down the road hived Old Bill, the blocicsroith, Bill took sick and semehow, or other Jim found time to go down there twice a day and help keep things moving until 'Bill recovered, • ' One afternoon Ileray was working his hardest to getain the last six loads of grain. A big sorro hoveved in ihe distance.' The sweat was running down Harry's face and he could -hard- ly see what was coming up the road with such a clatter and din. Before he vould wipe his eyes with the back of his band, Jim.drove in with his big wagon and his boy hired man, to "show Mr. Thunderstorm how easy wo ean beat him," as he .'aid, They got the grain in all right. -Sam had some purebred cows that were the pride of his" life. Disease struck them and Jim labored over those cows day and night, and with special delivery letters to the Agricul- tural Department, and his well -beloved books and bulletins, he saved every one of those cows. If anyone was sick in trouble or in want, somehow or other jim was right there in the midst of it. It was never necessary to say, "Where's Jim?"; Jim was always there. Last spring Jim passed on. The day he was placed among the daisies the .road, as far as you cotrld see, was blocked with autos, ,buggies, carriages and even trucks. All -came to say a last good-bye to Jim. The old minister, wath tears streaming, wound up his address by saying, "Tlias was a neigh- bor." "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto oneof the least of these my brethren, ye have done it into me." Soybeans can be threshed with an indinary threshing machine. Let the boys and girls have a day off every now and then; they'll eome back all the more willing to stay. Perhaps the most vital reason for using agriculture in the education of the country child is that it is in strict accordance with that recognized prin- ciple of educational psychology which demands that education should be built upon past experience. If this be accepted the daily experience of the farmyard and the farm home will furnish the groundwork of the teach- ing in the rural school; it will be the common stack from which other sub- jects .grow, and the extent to which they grow 'will be limited only by the age and capacity of the pupil and the interest and the crahueissm of the teacher. Boys and Girls What Books Do You Read? Go into the room of a .boy or girl and you.can pretty nearly tell whether you would want to be very intimate with them, just by looking at the books rand the papers you see there. In these days you avould not visit many young folks that you did not find some sort of reading matter on the table, or perhaps on the bed, or scat- tered about on the floor. How would you like others to judge of your character in this way? What would be the kind of books and papers one would find in your room were he to respond to an invitation to visit you? This is so impriant a matter that it is well -worth while for us to think about it a few minutes. - • Life In Whaa-We Read. Have you not often wondered how it is that aight oira of the sante spot o grdund, 'roses .asnd thistles will giow? One flower -with the sweetest perruine will lift up its head out of the earth, wbile cloie beside it another plant that Smells aO d:sagreeable that ,you cannot bear to Iso14 it to your nose will come ua and gtow luxuriant- ly. And if you th-olls of it, you know that the secret of it is in what the roses' atil the vile -smelling• plants gather up trent earth and sunshine and dew and rain, It is quite like that with you and ine. 'The books we read and the pa - pets and magazines on our tables put soinethiag into out Mom Will we gather up from out books the things that will help os to be good and strong and pure and trize? Or will we be compelled some day to admit that otT thoughts have been tinged with the bad by what vve have read? Thoughts make life, Good or bad literature makes or mars the wonderful thing we call the mind. • What De You Long. To Be ? Stop just here and. ask yourself; "What de 2 want to do and to be most of all?" I am sure not one of us but has some idea of the kind of man or wontan le ois she would like be he.

"Now," you will not say, I am sure, "he is going to preach us a sermon on the valee of the Bible as literature." But you will be mistaken. No such purpose is in my mind; but this I am sure you will let me say; and that as, you may read books and papers by the ton and if you leave out this one book, you have left out the book 'that counts for most in the building of character. No helpful book wee ever written, none ever will be published that is not based upon the Bible. Do you think as highly of the 131111e as you ought? Business men will tell you that the rieed of the world to -day is for living that is based on the Bible. They kitow thatmen and _women who take this Book for their guide will not go far astray, but they 'will win the best there is in life. Taking it for granted that you -do love the Bible best -of all.books, thete is little danger that you will Mot love other books and papers that help in banding Christian character, The boy who goes away from honie with a copy of the Bible in his trunk is not very likely to put in with, it any book that he would be ashamed to bring out and show the best friend he hos in the world; and surely • ao girh ,vou1d ,be seen with a bad book in, her room under any circumstanceif the Bible is the book she prizes most highly.

The"-Sbawlnigan Water -and Power Compztny have now under construes tion ab Shawinigan Falls, extension to plant that will cost over $3,000,000 and take'some two years to complete. It is the purpose of the company to considerably augment the 333,700 h.p. electrical and hydraulic de -Alexi -lent now being generated at Shaw,nigan Falls and the Laurentide Company. Present plans take into consideration the eventual adding of 310,000 h.p., ivith 100,000 h.p. at Shawinigan as the first step; 60,000 lap. at Laurentide tOS the second unit; and later, 160,000 h.p, at Gs Falls. Present demand for power is expected to readily absovb projected inceeases in plant. The Winter Window Box. The first thing to decide is, where is the box to be located? In an east, south, -west or north window? The east is the most favorable and can take care of the greatest variety of plants. But do not despair if your win.clow does not happen to face the east. Almost as many plants can be grown in southern exposure, quite a fe‘v in the west, and even a north window can be made very gay though not with the some plants as do well in the south window. This is where moat of the mistakes are made. Plants which requite a great deal of light are shoved into a math window and ex- pected to do as well or better than those in a neighbor's south window. With the right. selection, much may be accomplished; with the wrong selec- tion the result will be pitiful. Another consideration is the ex- tremes of temperature which the plants will have to endure. The aver- age temperature .does not matter so much, but the extremes are very int: portant. If the night temperature goes below fifty degrees, many plants will be cut out. Sixty degrees will be the limit oa another group and so on. Select with those two points in view, plant properly, water judiciously, and you have every right to expect good results provided 'always that plants have been given a rest in the summer and are not already all worn out with blooming. • For the cooler house, geraniume, chrysanthemums, sweet alyssum, Mar- guerites, English ivy and auraearia will bloom successfully. To this list may be added begonia, petunias, and heliotrope for the warmer house, CATAII1H DOES HARI!

The Welfare of the Holne—Child Labor By RUTH S. AMBERG. All through our country, indeed, throughout the world, interest in the welfare of children hasancreated tre- mendously during the last tew years Nearly a century ago humane people were beginning to .bestir themselves againat the evil called child labor, an evil whicb had naturally increased with the development of great indus- tries. By the middle of the last cen- tury Charles Dickens, Elioabeth Bar- rett Browning and other lovers of chil- dren were systematically fighting this corruption through their writings and public interest ,has gradually Mcreas- ed so that now thinking people, through concerted action, are begin- ning to demand that child labor shall .cease. ' The hope of the future lies in our children for they are to be the build- ers of the new world. -Tho state, there- fore, should give them every oppor- tunity for betterment and parents should see to it tliet their children take advanta-ge of all their privileges. By thus to -operating we should he able to abollsh this hateful thing—child labor—and give our children fiction's, teachers, and equipment --all that makes for a full and 'happy childhood so that they May become strong, effi- cient ineis and woroen well fitted for a definite work which deincouls a living wage. Through provincial and federal laws a wall of protection has been built up in our gountry for the bibIbe toilers in factories, mines and quartiee, but these children form only a small per- centage of the child laborers, the vast majority of -whom are still employed in city street trades, home industries, on farms and in canneries all over Canada. This does not mean that, when dt is necessary, older childreo should not help by earning money out- side of school hours, but to develop strong bodies and trained minds is the most important work of all cliildren. It is because child labor is costly not only to the child and his family but to the nation as well, that it must be blotted out. Wise parents are beginning to see the extravagance of child labor and are willing to Make personal sacrifices to educate them children for congenial work which demands a living wage; are beginning to .see that the few dol- lars which the child earns when he should be in school are only pennies compered with the dollars that he could earn later on if only he were .pormitted properly to equip himself for =no trade or profession. What then isour problem? We should give children in agricultural communities equal educational oppor. tmaties with the children of cities, and patents throughout the country should do their utmost to give their children opportunities fot education and devels opment so that they- will receive proper training fon o maximum earn. ing capacity and so thot our nation can conserve the very finest of out manhood and our womenhood.
