Psallm :cxiic.9, .Iii the morning sow thy seed,_ and in :the evening withhold not thine .hand. Those that lay up treasures on, earth and' those'tihat desire to reap soon and plenitifully,,'are careful to sow accord_ i.ngly. ii -et us imitate their in our char- itable distributions. We must not pre- tend bo pay the debt Of charity with sonte,poor mites and pence. in you give' something, give bountifully; take your °hands lull as if you were cave- ing. lI's it not said, we should s'ow :? tallow, seeclIsniee sow with hands 'full, atecl so shou'hd we: for God loveth a cheerful giver, and will in his turn dis- pense again •hountifuily to you, that ye should have sufficiency in all tlt'ings. to every 'good work: but 'Go'd sod'is p•en'sing' 'bountifully to you, why should you then grudge him anything, or male only such poor return's Fur what we do to put neighbour, is the same 'as' if, it were done to 'God him- self, 22 done in faith and love. Awake my zeal; awake my love, And serve my 'S'aviou'r here below, In works which all the saints above, And holy angel's cannot do. On She iPsaines—'Psalm XI, Let us stop for a moment to celt- te'rruplate the true character df these sacred hymns. Greatness c'on'fers no exemption from the •care's and sorrows of life. Its slhare of +them frequently bears a melancholy proportion to its exulta- tion. This the psalmist monarch ex- perienced. He sought in piety that. peace .which he ,could not find in em- pire, and alleviated' the disquieti-; tudes of state with the exercise of devotion. His isiveluabte Psalms convey those com'fdrts to others, which they afforded to 'himself. Composed upon particular occasions, yet designed for general rise; they present religion to us in.themost engaging dress; com- tnunicating truth which philo'sop'hy could never investigate, in a style 'w'h'ich .poetry can never equal; white history is made the vehicle of proph- ecy, and creation lends' all .its charm's to paint the glories of redemp- tion. 'Calculated alike to profit and to please, they inform the understanding, elevate the affections, and eutertain the imagination. The Ps'alnist, ender persecution, 1-3 decfareth h'imselve'd to trust in :God alone, at a tirne when 'he was advised to fly to Some place of refuge; 4, he expre'sse's his faith in the 'omniscience and overruling..power' of Jehovah; 5, assigns the reason why good men are afflicted; who, after that the 'wicked, 6, shall be destroyed, wilt appear to have been all along, 7, the favoured of (God, 1. in the Lord put I tn.y trust; how say ye to my .s'oul, flee as a bird to your Mountain ? 'The iChristien,`like David, in peril- ous times, should make God his fort- ress, and Continue doing his duty in his station; he:sihould not, at the inst- gation of those about him, like a poor, silly, tlm.orous, inconstant bird, either fly ,for refuge to the devices of world- ly wisdom, or desert his post, and re- tire into solicitude, while he can serve the cause in which 'he is engaged, Nor, indeed, is there any mountain on earth out of .the reach of care and fnouble. Temptations are everywhere; and so is the grace of 'God. 2. For he the wicked bend their how, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. IThese'see'n to be stili the wards of David's friends, re'presen'ting to him, as a mro'tive for his flight, the extreme.. danger he was ie from the arrows of the enemy, already, as it were, fitted to the string and pointed at him in secret, so that not know=ing from whence they were to come, he could not guard against them, The Christian's danger, Irani the dat'ts of the infernal archers, lying in wait 'for his soul, is full as great as fh•at of ;D,avid. But the shield o'f faith su ficeth in both cases. 3. If the foundations he destroyed, what can the righteous do? This likewise seems to be spoken by the swine persons, discouraging David from making,any farther resist- ance, by the esist-ance,'by'the.consideration that all was over' the foundations of religion and law were'' subverted; and what^could a man, engaged in the most rigtheous design's, hope to do, ,w'hen that was the case? Such argumen is are often urged by the timid, in similar circumstances; but they are fallacious; since all is not over, while there `is 1 man left to re- prove error, a.nd bear testimony to the truth. And a man :who 'does i't ,with becoming spirit, may stop a prince,. or 'senate, in full career, and recover the day. But let us hear David's reply to his advisers, * NEWS AND INFORMATION * 2 FOR THE BUSY.

O.A.C. Sale Very satisfactory prices were sec- ured at the recent annual sale of sur- plus purebred stock held at the O.IA. C:, receipts totalling $5;7164.l20. About 4,200 buyers from all parts of Ontario and points in the United States and Quebec attended, and ,with a fine quallity of stock offered, .bidding as a .whole Wes, brisk. The top price was $225 for a Holstein bull, while' in the sale of Sih'onfh'o'rns a .bull, call brought $310 and a heifer $290. A total of $'2,'083y50 was paid for 89 bogs :and in the sheep division 26 ram lambs net- ted $402:40. Ten head of Shorthorns brought $1,315. British Apple Market Andrew Fulton, fruit growers rep- resentative in Great Britain, reports that un'precedente'd quantities of North American apples have been reaching the United Kingdom, with the result that supplies are greatly in excess of the demand. 'I't would appear, he say's, that with the large crop of apples in North America, and• the poor domestic market, shippers wily continue to export so •long as they .can get the price of the barrel back. He urges that ,Ontario growers should pay greater attention to colour and in the case of Wealthies should ship only highly -coloured No. 1 grades. These. latter have been comman'din'g prices from $41113 to $5:10 a barrel. Scarlet eip.pins have sold from $5.50 to $6:37 a barrel, principally because of their good firm condition and high colour. The grading of Ontario apples this season, Mr. Fulton declares, has been excellent and has been warmly com- mented upon by the buye'r's. "The 'N'orfol'k" and Big "O"'h'and's are be- coming well known for their uniform quality and are standing the depress- ed ,market conditions well, as they are still commanding from $4,47 to $5.153 for good quality fruit, according to variety, as compared with other marks which are receiving less than $4.25., This is a splendid opportunity to (build up a reputation for our Orttario brands and to become well established for another season, Movement of Limestone Since the railway freight reduction and Government sulbveu•tion policy went into effect last April, a summary of the movement of agricultural lime- stone is as. follows: INumlber of cars, 76; number of_tons L5131.92; total freight, $3,-2297,6.7; gov- ernment rebate, $1,5163:29; freight paid by farmers, $1,17134.47; average freight rate per .ton, $1,31; average freight per ton paid by subvention, .62; average freight per ton paid by farmer ,69;. e's'imate'd average freight rate had railways not co-operated, $1.74; actual average paid by farmers, .69; .estimat- ed total saving to farmers on the to- tal shipments of limestone, $2,637,51. Red Clover Seed (For the first time in tn•any years the 119311 crop assures a substantial sur- plus of 'dom•estic red clover seed. The annual consumption of this seed in Canada is about three million pounds, wlhil'e the 119311 production will be be- tween four and five millions. TJ'sually red clover has been relatively high in price, but owiltg to the heavy produc- tion this year and the weakness of ex- port markets there appear good pros- pects for cheaper red clover seed next spring, and with clhe•aper seed it 'tight be expected that consumption will be so stinutlated as eo hake use of all the 119311 crop; Red clover is perhaps the most generally grown legume crop its Canada, and provides a cheap protein feed for live s•tocl:, in addition to be- ing a 'cheap source of nitrogen for soil en t^i'cbttt ent. Western Cattle for Ontario As 'a result of the recent visit of Hon. Robert Weir and Hon, Thos. 1L. Kennedy to the beef cattle raisers of the western provinces, arrange- ments are under way for ensuring a ,plentiful supply of feeder cattle for Junior Fernier Clubs in Ontario. Ar- ran'ge'ments have also been made for a system o•f standardization of feeder cattle, w-hich will result in the estab- lishment of a mail order cattle busi- ness for farmers, who will be able to pm:ehase cattle without having the expense, as at present, of having to go and view the stock first. By the use of strict grading of feeder stock at the farms and ranches by inspec- tors of the Council, any desired type. and 'age can be ordered with confid- ence. New Weed Slides A set of 55 colored slides on Farm (Weeds has recently been prepared by the Department of Agriculture with rise co-operation of the Motion Pic- tune Bureau. These slides illustrate all the bad weeds growing in Ontario as we'll as many of the common but less harmful weeds. Suitable .comments on each slide is furnished with the set. This set is available for use by tea- chers, agricultural representatives, weed inspectors, and any organization interested in farm weeds. The set is loaned free of charge with the excep- dion of the ,e press charges one way. 'Applications should be addressed to the Slide Department, 2,I•otion Picture ;Bureau, ,Parliament Buildings, Toron- to, Where praje'ction lanterns are not available these can be rented from the (Slide 'Department for a nominal fee.. Purchasing Feed Stuffs 'The advantage of co-operative pur- chase of feed stuffs is sometimes lost by feeding of those ,feeds which can be purchlased in carlot quantities :without regard to'belan•ce or suitabil- ity of rations. Garlot purchase of stuffs should be undertaken from the s'bandpoin't of bath econ'omy and effi- ciency,' Dollars per ton is not the all- iinp'ortan't angle. The cost per pound of food nutrients is more important and, better still, the price per unit of feeding Value and the suitability far 'bal'an'cing home-grown or other feeds are the important factors to consider. There are several steps to follow in the purchase of supplementary feeds. They are: (11): Know what is on hand in the form of homegrown feeds. (2) sKnow what best balances the feed's on hand, taking into consideration' quality and cost. (3) Purchase sup- plementary feeds in quantity suffic- ient to take advantage of the best prices and lower freight rates. (4) (Know the production records of the Livestock fed.

Two women, apparently 30 or 35 years of age, well dressed and heavily veiled, were arrested in Wingham this week,. for representing t'hemselves as canvassers for the Sick Children's hospital. They are the couple who visited 'Seaforth last week, Oldest County Drug Store Mr. H. B. Combe of Clinton has disposed of his drug store .to Mr. W. S. R. Holmes and thus the oldest drug business in the county changes hands. It was established by the late g'a'tes H. Combe in 13519 and con- ducted by him until his death: in 1095. (Ile was widely known as an expert chemist and a con s'eielttiotts business. man. After his death the business was taken over by his son, Mr. H.

A number of the military men of Huron seem to be indignant over the act of the comtmaading officers of the county in having the stores of the IWingham company removed to Lon- don owing to not having an officer in that section to look after No. 2 com- pany.

The trustees of the public school at Walton have engaged the services of 'Miss Kate Telfer of .Grey township. as teacher for 1905, at a salary of. $3'115. Miss Telfer is attending the model school now. At one time it took two teachers to manage school affairs at Walton but the attenance has greatly decreased of late years. Hensall. A number of business changes have taken plate at Hensall within the past A Boon To Mankind "What! Loge the power to speak? Oh, Doctor, surely there is some way out?" There is a way out now for those who have under- gone an operation for a malignant throat affection. The artificial larynx, a product of the Bell Telephone Research Department makes it possible for one who has had this organ removed, to speak again. In the case of temporary or permanent paralysis of the vocal chords, s the artificial larynx with bellows brings back the power of speech. These two t types of artificial larynxare now available through the Bell Telephone Company of, Canada. Application should be mad to the local office of the Bell Telephone Company. No question of profit will arise. The mar using the larynx in the centre picture has had lhfs larynx removed while the one using the bellows, has paralysis of the vocal chords. In both cases the artificial larynx snakes speech possible; week. R.

The appearan'ce of two deer in Mc- Killop township during the past week has caused considerable excitement among the residents there' and in 'Sea- fert'h. Oa Tuesday as Mr. John Mc- Clymon't was driving to town, just. east of 5fait'landbank cemetery, he was astounded to .observe a deer' graz- ing in the field some distance' from tite road. After watching, it for some time he drove quickly into town and informed Mr. ,Geo. E, I3enderson. Mr, Henderson - in company -with Capt. Roberts, Capt, Wilson and Mr. 'E. H'inc.h:ley were soon on the , spot, but the deer had disappeared. After some search, the panty crossed the gravel rqad to a small bush on lir. Rabt. Govenolck's farm. Mr. , Hend- erson took his hound and entered the woods leaving the shooting to the military experts on either side. Pro- ceeding but a short distance into the 'woods the deer rose up about fifty yards in front of hint. Mr, Hinchiey shot and missed and the deer emerged into a bunch of cattle and finally made its escape northwards, after un- suIecestfut shots from Dr. Grieve and others. The animal was a .doe and she and her mate have been seen at various times during the past two weeks in various parts of the town- ship. Here' and There Growing 01 ginseng tor the Chinese nierkot.has developed into a substantial business at Water- ford, Out., where about 45,000 pounds of this root were produced last year, valued at $370,000. Fine, unusually warm, weather has favored threshing operations in the north-west of Canada during October and has raised the grade of wheat substantially, according to the crop report of the Canadian Pacifie's Agricultural Department. Evaporators in the Annapolis Valley are now working full time and are consuming large quantities of low grade apples. Markets for the evaporated product are being found fn Montreal and Toronto with an occasional car for the Canadian West. The canoe continues to be popu- lar. A recent official report shows that in the last five years in Canada building of canoes has increased by over 31 per cent. to the number of establishments making them and by 88 per cent. in the value of the output. Canary Rorndyke Alcatra is dead. This was the world-fam- ous Holstein cow which in 1928 created a world record of ap- proximately 1,080 pounds of but- terfat in 305 days.
