We learned that when we were rnak- ing up our own nelk on the farm. We had been packing the .most of it in tebs and storing it until fall, when we took it out and sold it all in a lump. But the plan compelled us to wait a long time for our pay, and we needed some money as we went along. So wife and I got up a plan to test people's appetite for butter in another shape. I sent away and bought the prettiest print I could for putting the butter in pound pack- ages, It had a beautiful design on top, an acorn, with some pretty leaves around it, and the very first package that tame out of the mold I said, "Wiee, that will sell all the good butter we can make all right." And it did, We could have sold more if we had had it. We took quite a load of it down the first time we went, and that was on a fine morning in early 'summer. We had a nice carrier that kept it cool until we were in town. And we slid not have he do kny running around to find a customer. The very first man we howed it to took every pound we had. And he pant several cents more than the minket price at that time. • We did not know what he had in mind when he took the butter into .11M store, but when lee went back on the way home we saw those-beaatiful pound packages piled 'up in the store window in the form of a great pyra- mid, and hoer good it did Maki -Yel- low as gold and each package sternp.. ed with the lovely acorn desige! And everybody that went along and eaw the butter etopped to look at it and many went in to buy. And the but- ter was as good as ie looked, Just there was our iseeret, it is no triek to soll butter that looks good the fleet thrie. It is the secolel time that tests the Valk of yoer butter.

Frequently the advertising of two -hundred -egg stock is misleading to beginners with poultry and canes them considerable discouragement. The ,,egg -laying contests have taught poultrymen some thing but they have not given the beginner the right idea about poultry an •geneeel. • A few carefully selected birds 'kept in small flocks will practically always lay more eggs on the average than the birds in a large flock. In the laying contests a few two -hundred - egg hens are discovered and then this is often the came for advertising two -hundred -egg stock, The inex- perienced reader of the advertising may expect to buy eggs from such stock arid immediately obtain a flock of two -hundred -egg birds. Of course, there is a good chance of raieing fine layers from such stock and there is a Chance of raising birds of only medium quality. ' hinder farra Conditions the hens canhot be =egged hi large flocks in a way that will cause many hens to lay two hundred eggs ov over in one year. However, the flock average can be increased by careful selection of the best layers which possess plenty of vigor. The noultryman should not be discouraged if lie has only a few two -hundred -egg hem, but he has every reason to be en- couraged if his flock •averages stand around one hundred and forty to bah hundred and ' fifty egg 'S per year.

It le usually *mite 'to undertake bee -keeping on an extensive scale without having considerable previous experience. It is a go'od plan to begin in a small way, , making the bees, pay for there - selves and for all additional appar- atus, and gradually extiending the work as local conditions or the dee sires of the individual permit.

Last year the 'revenue from bee -keeping in the States was about ten times that of any year previous to the outhreak.of the war. During the last half of ,the:year alone; honey ,the the valihe of $2 000 0b0 was ex - .ported. Recreation and Profit. Cdlonies of 'bees in the orchard, garden or backyard afford great pleasure as well as profit. They are not only valuable as producers, but they offer recreation, and are most beneficial in cross-pollinating flowers and plants. No other industry re- quires as little care in proportion to the returns. :Wherever fruit grows, bees thrive, and Ontario and British Columbia are singularly well endowed for the developrnent of this industry. It is estimatedthat at present there are some 8,000 bee-keepees in On- tario and that about 3,000 tens of honey are produced annually. In 1918, 225' tons of honey were produced M British Columbia, an increase over the 1917 production of 65 tons -con- stituting the biggest yield in the his- tory of the Province, There are 125 the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, for: Bee -keeping in Canada -Circular 18.

Value of Paint in Good Farming. Money spent for paint invariably adds its cost to the selling value, and sometimes many times over. An ex - envie is futnished by John J. Dug- gan, who bought a first-class but ill Icept farm four years ago for $8,000. The grounds surrounding the house end outbuildlings were littered ,wIth scrap lumber and were , in general disorder. The buildings badly need- ed repairs at doors, steps, roofs •and elsewhere, and were thirsty for paint. The pig -pons ,and hen -house were. eyesores. The front fence, a nec- essity hepauee of the stock which passed along the road, was a run- down lewd. affair. The improve- ments at heart were good enough, strong and substantial, but they had suffered from lack of care. Duggan gave all the buildings a coat of paint. The paint called for other improvements. He whitewash- ed the henhouse inside and out. He substituted neat woven wire for the front board fence, and put in lasting concrete posts where rotting wood posts and rickety gates had beep. He repaired and hung doors properly, fixed up the roofs and built on new Porches. The result created a real sensation in the country round about. It inspired several neighbors to make similar. improvements. Duggan says' he could sell the farm to -day for $12,000. Real estate values have gone up somewhat mean- while, but it is a safe assumption that he bought the farm below its ieal value becauee of the unkempt nature of the improvements. Much credit must go to paint, whitewash, nails, tonerete, and other every -day materials used in "fixing up." Dug- gan says the total cost of these did not exceed $600. Too many Ontario farmers are notably deficient in the things that make them pleasant places to live. A farmer keeping excellent stock, and using numehous mechanical devices an his barns, often lives in an unpainted, run -clown dwelling on disorderly premises. Maily a faemer neglects :is premises on the principle that .he painted house doesn't grow any po- ts:toes, or snake a cow give more millc." Not onl: do paint, concrete well - kept fences, and constant. attention ho little impairs, greatly errhapce the selling v,alue of farm property out of proportion to cost, but they have an even more important psychologi- cal influence on the farmer and his family •which' indirectly makes for better farming and better fam pro- fits. The time is coming when farm- ers wile use paint and such lake in the same spirit that so many business men attend cenecientiously to the daily shave. The Great War showed the world that the smooth -shaven soldier in clean clothes fought bet- ter. We are coming to realize that the fanner with well -painted, neatly - kept farm 'premises farms better. $4.75 1 WI By John a Huber; Dr, Huber Will answer all Waned letters pertaining to Health, if your question Is of general Interest it will be answered through these columns; if not, it will be answered personally if stamped, addressed envelope is en. closed, Dr, Huber, will not prescribe for Individual cases or make diagnosis, Address Dr. Jclhh B.

Men have been asking. to have the meaning of their exper- iencevmade clear ever sinee calamity came into the world. . They have been crying unto God, like Moses,. 'Shea, me Thy glory,' and the' only answer is the answer that Moses got: to be placed in a cleft -of the rock while God passed hp, and to see His back after the event was over. That is the ody revelation that is vouch- safed to men, the afterglow of God. As the event passes the light shines in. 'What I do,' says Jesus, 'thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.' "It is true of us," continued the minister, "as it was of Moses, that W.e cannot look into God's face and live. It is a mercy that God covera our face with His hand until the ex- perience is past. If we could ime it eel all ina flash It would blind us. Our ignorance, our limited experience, our scanty moral appreciation of higheet things make it necessary that God should show tis only the afterglow, the receding glory. We can grasp God neither with our heads nor with our hearts, Our stendard of judg- ment are very different from God's. We desire to be happy; God wishes us to be holy, Many of the events that seem so final and important to us are incidents that count for little in the eternal reckoning. Hence the apparent indifference and even cruelty of the Divine dealings with us. But we gradually grow toward insight. After God has passed by we see His hack. We do not need to go back a great way to see that we have out- grown many of 0110 early aims and to smile at some of our early sorrows. But they looked like final things then! "We are not wise enough to choose for ourselves, or to understand the meaning of an event until we get a long perspective on it. The only safe revelation of God is the one • given after the experience has been lived through -the glory of the after- glow. The peoblem for tie, Mary, is not so much that of having our ex- periences explained, -that may come in the kindly providence of God, or it may iiever come at all, -but to be educated through our experiences. The legitimate cey to God is not, 'Show me Thy glory!' but a prayer to be made patient enough to wait Until we can see from the dark cleft of oar experience some glory of God as He departs, and meanwhile to re- member that this God is the God and Father of our Lord .Jesus Chriet, the God who so loved the world that He gave His Son to redeem it. In His hands we are safe. He wall justify Himself when tho time comes," • Whets a Gallon of Gasoline Will Do.
