While in the ordinary use of pastures under - grazing is not likely bo moue, yet ib is well to know in advance the result of .each practice. Stock will not eat weeds unless forced to do so, but will graze more and mere heavily on the diminishing patches of clean greed; consequently bhe weeds are continu- ally favored in their competition with the grass for soil spare, and unless means are taken to .check them they may presently overrun and ruin the pasture. The first step toward improving un- productive pastures should be the de- struction of weeds. Where the land is level and open enough to allow the use of a mower, all undesirable plants should be cut before they make seed. Or the pasture may be fenced off in several areas, taking the weedier ones first, and the stock kept on an area until the weeds are eaten down. In this practice young -cattle or eheep sliould be used. As the weeds are being destroyed the growth of the grass itself should be stimulated;" and according to the present knowledge of pastures the ap- plication of stable manure seems the only certain economical means of do- ing this. Whenever manure is avail- able, apply it to the pasture in light dressings, covering first the scantiest patches, but eventually covering the whole pasture if possible. Another ex- cellent practice is to reseed the mono unthrifty patches and :then graze them sparingly until they ete again thickly eevegotntecl. The Great West Permanent Loan Conuwany.

The best collar for a mature horse, whose weight does not vary much throughout the year, is the leather. collar; For most horses, the best collar is one stuffed with hair, and covered with ticking. With this col- lar, if the horses shoulder becomes sore at any point, the lining of the collar can easily be ripped, and the hair removed or pushed aside at that point, so that no pressure will come on the sore place. Collar pads are much used, but they quickly become dirty, cannot easily be cleaned, and thus cause many. sores, Still a pad that makes the collar fit is better than an ill-fitting collar without a pad: By all means, clean the inside of the collar every night. If you wait until the next morning you are likely to forget it. Of course you will clean the horse's shoulders as soon as the collar is remoyed.

Some testers are paid at the rate of $50 a month, others more. While these records may be obtained by the dairy- man himself, it is generally more economical to have a tester do the work. The •amount it will cost each mean depends on the number of members.

There were daily meetings, in which they ate together in simple fellgw- slim, distinctions of rank and ,clag5 having been laid 'aside.

This was the beginning of a movement which was to a spread rapidly to all nations, and which is yet to conquer the world, Phil. 4: 10-20, Your Care of Nle. Paul was writing from a Rumen prison, into which he had been oast upon his arrival in Rome in the year 60 or 61 A.D. About eleven years before, on his second missionary jour- ney, Paul had come over from Asia into Macedonia and had preached the Gospel to the Philippians, founding there the first Christian Church in Europe. He had been driven from Philippi by persecutionbut returned thither some five or six years later. He speaks of the Philippians in terms of warm appreciation of their con: stant and unfailing kindness to him, and of the care which they had of him. See 2 Cor. 11: 9, and compare verse 15.

The first thing, therefore, in planning your perennial garden is bo select the best location for it. The amt of gardening is to group plants artistically.

Now, hearing that he was in Rome and in prison, they sent Epaphroditus with gifts for him. Paul says, "Ys have revived your thought for me" (v. 10 in Revised Version), and speaks of that which they sent as an octet of a sweet smell, a bacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God." Epaphroditus had journeyed seven hundred miles to bring these kindly • gifts. While in Rome he 'had been busy ministering to Paul and helping in the -work of the Church. Paul calls him "my brother and fellow -worker and fellow -soldier, and your messeng- er and minister ,in my need" (2: 25.) But he had been taken seriously ill and was near to death. "For the work of Christ," Paul says, he came nigh unto death" (2: 30), probably having encountered severe hardships on his long journey, but evil in his illness' his •character shines forth 'brightly, for he was "sore troubled," not .he cause he was sick, but because hie friends in Philippi had beard and would be anxious (2: 25). If Epaphroditus is a fair sample of the Philippian Christians, then they were good fellows indeed. Paul speaks particularly of their "fellowship in the furtherance of the gospel from. the first day until now" (1: 5), end of their fellowship in his affliction. (4: 15). It was that sense of comrade- ship, much more than their gifts,i which pleased and comforted him. He could have done without the gifts, for he had learned self-denial in a hard school (vs. 11-13), but their love for him and care of him and thought for him were unspeakably precious. It is, he said, "not because I desire a gift," but "fruit that may .abound to your account." He did desire that they should be the kind of people who would be thoughtful and generous, and would do kindly deeds that would Chases Rats With Tractor. "Get out the gas masks!" That no doubt will be the slogan of whale colonies of rats, at least those which infest the cern cribs of farmers, for J. C. Boyd, a farmer, has devised a method of killing rodents that beats rat poison or any exterminating agency. Boyd backed up his tractor to his corn eniib the other day, which was fairly alive with rats that had defied rat poison and attacks of dogs on the place and turned on the esehaust. Soon there was a gas barrage that Boyd believes was equal to any put on en the late war. The rats began to soa'mper from the Crib and most of them suecttmebed to the fumes of gas, Those few that got out of bhe crib were so weals from inhealing the gas 'that they could not put up much of a fright and the dogs that had been gathered for the occasion made easy worlc of them. But imside the crib was the, real sight. The dead rats were found by the dozen, and when Boyd finished gathering them up he had snore than a tubful of the rodents. Boyd thinks this is the quieilceet and angst satisfactory method of getting rid of the rats end he proposes to fol- low the plan until they ,are exter nhlt cited. Iles neighbors having heard of his suocessfui plan also have begun to adopt it with beneficial results. --.-- A Community Auction. While not a stranger to many places the community auction recently held here ,proved to be a successful inno- vation for our town. It is intended: to make it an annual event. Anyone having anything to sell had it listed on the sale bill. Nearly all the property, except live stock, was ga- thered at the place of sale the day be- fore. The place was on the premises of a closed hotel an the village, It was supposed to he a cash sale, but those who wished other arrangements were advised to consult with the own- ers 'before the sale.
