As in Gen. t and 11, all the work was
accomplished by the Spirit of God and
the Word of God, for the Spirit moved,
and God said, "So it has been ever
since and in everything." Our Lord
Himself said, "The words tint 1 speak
unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life" (John vi, G3)• At Pentecost the
same Holy Spirit who had been work-
ing all through the Old Testament pe•
t'tod came in a special way and to
bear a testimony to a crucified, risen
and ascended Christ, a thing De never
could have done before. and to gather

Huron County's
Big Bean Crop,
Mows as many keens as they grew in
1916. Mr. Cook estimated that the
area sown to beasts this year would be
about eighteen thousand acres, The
average yield is sixteen bushels to the
acre, though some farms last year
produced as much as twenty bushels
to the acre, Sixteen bushels per acre
means -283,000 bushels of beans on
eigheen thousand acres, and .at 36.00
per bushel, which is the probable
price, the 1917 crop will be worth
nearly one 'and three-quarter million
dollars. That Is twice as much as
Huron's wheat crop realized in 19151
a fairly good year for wheal. Mr.
Cook told The Globe that Mr, J, J.
Merger, M. P., of Zurich, raised $10,-
000 worth of beans on one hundred
acres of land last year, and that this
year he is putting in tido hundred
acres of beans, while quite a number
of the farmers are devoting one hun-
dred acres to beams this year.
Seed Bean Prices.
Farmers are now offering $5.50 to
$9 per bushel 'for seed beans, which
are exceedingly scarce. .A few would-
be growers will not be able to get what
they require, but the majority have
already procured all the seed they
need,
Last year the lowest price paid was
$5 per bushel, at the commencement
of the trashing; a month later heavy
buying, due to war orders from Great
Britain, through Canadian organizations,
advanced bins to $6.00 and the bulk
of the. crop was marketed at that
figure. Some of the farmers had
nine hundred bushels and got over
$5,000 for their crop. The value of
the beans raised last season was
greater than the value of the land
upon which they were raised, a good
farm of one hundred acres, with im-
provements, buildings, . etc., being
worth from $3,000 to 310,000. Mort-
gages have been wiped out and the
fIrmers are now buying automobiles,
for it iss only in the last few years
that they learned what a wonderful
bean -growing section they have in the
farms bordering on Lake Huron in the
townships of Hay, Stephen and Stan-
ley.

Field Crop and Live Stock Situation in
the County About the Same as Else-
where in Western Ontario—Interest-
ing Interviews.
(By Wm. Marcbington, Staff Correa 1,
pendent of The Globe.)
Exeter, Ont., May 10 --The sensa-
tional development of the bean -grow-
ing industry is the outstanding feature
of agricultural activity in the County
of Huron at the present time. Huron
had a bean crop worth a million dollars
last season. The 1916 crop was twice
as big as the. crop of.the previous year.
This•year the bean -growers are planning
for a crop that will net them nearly
two: million dollars. 9'he acreage de-
voted to bean -growing in the Hensel!
district is being doubled, and in the
Exeter district it is being trebled. Given
sfavorable weather, Huron's bean crop
in 1917 will be equivalent in value to
the 19,14 bean crop of the entire Pro-
vince. 'Birt that is partly due to the
sharp rise its prices brought about by
the great demand for beans required
to feed the allied armies.
More Beans Grown.
The Globe correspondent bad an
interview with Mr, Norman E. Cook,
of Cook Brothers, Hensel!, who is
popularly known In these parts as
"the bean king of Huron County." Mr.
Cook paid out last year no less than
3600,000 to the farmers of the Hen -
sail -Zurich -Exeter districts for beans.
The acreage devoted, to bean -growing
ti; the Iiensail district this year, he
said, will be double what it was last
year, while about Exeter, according
to Mr. J. G. Jones, of Jones & May,
Exeter, the farmers will grow three

Never neglect what at first seems to be

you are strong enough to fight it off, but
colds are not so easily fought off in this
northern climate, and if they are not

such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and per-

Miss Kasyc McDonald, Sydney Mines,
N.S., writes; "bast winter I contracted
a severe cold, and it settled on my lunge,
I would cough and raise phlegm and
blood. I had the cough for a north,

did not seem to do me any good. I

My friends advised me to use Dr,

and it gave me great relief. I am very
glad I used 'Dr. Wood's,' and would
recommend it to every one."
You can procure Dr. Wood's Norway

said to be guaranteeing over $5.00 per
bushel for all the beans that can be
grown, wheather the war continued or
not, It is stated that $2.00 per bushel
would give the farmers a satisfactory
margin; indeed, the average price paid
for beans in Onario during 1911, 1912
and 1913 was 31,84 per bushel.
Huron County fanners are growing
less wheat and more beans, which are
produced with very little extra labor,
it is stated, Much of the work in con-
nection with the industry is done with
machinery.
Mr. J. G. Jones of Messrs. Jones &
May, Exeter, a leading merchant and
a prominent Liberal, and temperance
worker 11; Huron county, was author-
ity for the statement that the acreage
devoted to bean -growing around
Exeter would be trebled this year. He
told of one matt whose fall wheat and
clover were winter -killed last year,
and as a last resort he put in twenty
acres of beans in the mouth of June,
after the rainy season. From that 20
acres Ile made just $2,500. Mr• Jones
is of the opinion, however, that the
farmers of Huron "should not' put al(
their eggs in one basket." He thinks
35 acres in beans would be plenty on a
100-acrttfarm.
The bean crop fits into a rotation
of farm crops admirably , according to

Department at the Ontario Agricultural
!College.

Conditions regardieag other field
craps and live stock are much the
same in Huron County as in other
sections of Western Ortario, Mr.
Harry Smith, of Hay, near Exeter, told
your correspondent that comparative-
ly little fall wheat had been sown this
•season; owing to the extremely dry
weather in the late summer and fall;
Mr. Smith is a noted Shorthorn breed-
er, and recently sold three yearling
heifers at $500 each. "The fat stook
is very thin this year," he said, in re-
ply to a question about the supply of
beef . cattle on hand. Meat on the
hoof will be very scarce for some
time, he believes. There is a good de-
mand lift the United States and the
Canadian West for Ontario Short-
horns, he said, He thought the farm-
ers would have "a fair season though
we are a week late in starting." Clov-
er wintered di right in this section
and the prospects are for a big acre-
age of spring crops, such as oats and
barley.
Saved the Situation.
Beans saved the situation in Huron
county Inst year, according to Mr,
'Phomas McMillan, of Seaforth, who is
the Liberal candidate in South Huron
for the House of Commons. Mr. Mc-
Millan
aMillan is prominent in the beef=rais-
ing industry. He told The Globe that
not half ,as many butchers' cattle are
being fed in this part of the Province
this year EIS to a normal year, so that
meatless days in Canada are inevit-
able if this condition is general in
Ontario. Hogs, said Mr. McMillan,
are not as scarce as fat cantle though
the supply is by no means thormai,
He looks for a smaller wheat crop ow-
ing to unfavorable weather conditions
bout last fall and this spring. Also
there will be a smatter acreage of

Burr crosed the threshold. The
same helpless embarrassment had at-
tacked him. She led the way to the
room on the right, and Burr followed,
his eyes fixed upon her trailing length
of her pale gown. She moved about the
room lighting other candles, Burr stand-
ing still in the doorway. The room
began to show cheerful in the glow.
"I was keeping solitary vigil, as you
see, sir," she said, as she turned and
came towards him. "If you will cease in
your blockade of the doorway, 1 will
send one of the men to your horse. And
you must have some refreshment----"
"Pray do not trouble," he put in
hastily, moving to one side.

face so rosy -tinted, nor eyes so full of
suppressed laughter. She swept hila a
mocking courtesy, and passed hitn by,

the last silken rustle had ceased. Then
he sighed heavily and turned away.
As he peeled off his riding coat he
purveyed the roam with curious eyes.
So this was her hoarse—her particular
sitting -room, he judged from the books
lining, the walls and the growing plants
standing in quaint copper jars. Yes,
there was a writing table near the shut-
tered window, and a clutter of small ac-
count -books lying open upon it. She

liere he stopped dead. He had be-
gun well enough, but in his anxiety he
had exhausted himself. There was a
sudden ebb in the flood of his eloquen-
ce. The source of it was run complete-
ly dry at the sight of her.
"You were in our neighborhood,
then? 'Twould have been most 00 -
friendly had you not stopped at ou
Hermitage. 1 hope it means no more
raiding by your men?" she said sweetly.
She crossed, and settled herself into
a big armchair beside the tire. Burr
gained courage to take the opposite one.
A warm happiness was seizing upon
him. She looked fair, and sweet, and
not unkindly in the firelight.
"Yes, I-1 happened in be passing,"
he went on absently, his eyes roving
over her, noticing each smallest grace
and daintiness. Ile was not thinking of
his words, "I wanted just to look at
you."
She raised her kerchief to hide the
swift color that came to her face at his
words and his look, but her manner was
only seriously friendly when she spoke,
"We were surprised, and charmed for
your sake, to hear of your good fortune
and promotion, Colonel Burr, We were
grieved for ourselves, because of the
selfish desire for a good friend at court.
