while a bit of butter that does not
come in a jar or other closed package.
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

tests the Valk of yoer butter. If
it is right, it will sell, If not You are

The presence of a few two -hundred -
egg hem in a flock is not as import-
ant as a high average for all of the
birds. 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.
There hes been too much booraleg of
high -laying ihividuals under coedi-
Cons that wotilcl be far froin profit-
able on the ferns and too little under-
standing of the value of high flock
averages from birds maintained

• together likely that it will be used
more extensively in years to come
as a result of its new-found popular-
ity as a •substitute for sugar,
In the •United States impetus has
been given to the industry by the
formation of two large co-operative
societies for the better marleting of
honey. Last year the 'revenue from
bee -keeping in the States was about
ten times that of any year previous

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

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.

It looks to me sometimes as if a
funs efficiency expert could be about
as useful a man as ever was. We
have such men an our country agents,
but they have too much territory to
cover. We all do our work with too
many steps. I know I do. I think
about what I ain doing, yet at times
I find myself going at chores or
other work in a why that takes many
m
ore steps that it should.
Many times a few nails, a gate
repaired, or a door put on its track
would save time and labor, but we
can't tette the time to do it.
Some time ago I Watched a farmer
feed 16 head of liaees. At the end
of the barn theta WaS a vacant stall
where the oats were kept He made
a trip to the mid of the barn every

him why he didn't take a bushel of
oats along with him arid feed the 16
horses With two or three trips, or
why he ',didn't use a wheelbarrow to
take the oats along with hirn, I
wonder if lie ova thought of that?

"If 1 could only understand the•
meaning of it," she paid, "if there.
were any gain to be got by the sacri-
fice,. if ,just one faint ray .,of light
would shine through the darkness, I
think I could adjust myself to the -
situation. But I can't be sure that
God is in it, that it isr't just the cold
ph:nail:where of fate running imper-
sonally through my wee inouse's nest
and shattering it without knowledge
or pity."
"Mary," said the minister, "-you
have come upon one of •the inscrut-
able things of life It's as old as the
human race. 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,"
