How know I blessedness befalls who dwell in Paradise, The outwearied hearts refreshing, rekindling the worn -gout eyes; A.11 souls, singing, seeing, rejoicng everywhere? Nay, much more than this I know, for this is so; Christ is there. 0 Lord Christ, whom having not seen I love, and desire to love. 0 Lord Christ, who lookest on the, uncomely, yet still Thy dove, Take me to Thee in Paradise, Thine own made fair; For whatever else I know, this thing is so!

Currie. pastor of the United Church, who has been absent from his pulpit for several weeks, owing to ill health, is making some progress, it is cause of deep regret to the congregation, that he is still unable to resume his duties.

COUNTY NETS immersed !n r the time specifiedthis andhot at thsolutione comfopietlon of this operation the treated tubers should be placed in a heap and cov, eerd for one hour using tarpaulins or burlap bags. This precaution en- sures thorough disinfection byeon- fining the formaldehyde gas ,around the potatoes. Upon removal of the covering they are allowed to dry off thus putting a stop to the action of the formalin. The hot formaldehyde r5centsper method costs from 50 to 7 acre. It satisfactorily controls rhiz, octonia and common scab on the seed tubers and is a reasonably satisfac- tory method of controlling powdery scab. The various systems of ,:treating potatoes have been investigated by 'the Division of Botany through its Laboratories at Charlottetown and Fredericton. Those interested in the subject should secure a copy of Pamphlet No. 134 New Series issued by the Dominion of Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture. It may be seg cured without Dost from the Publica- tions Branch, Department of Agricul- ture, Ottawa. Any further informa- tion required may be secured from the nearest Laboratory of Plant Pathology.
