This treatment should be applied twice yearly to all poultry houses as a precautionary measure against mites. ' Preventing Loss In Shipping Potatoes. I see that the double -headed, ven- tilated barrel is the most satisfactory method of shipping new potatoes in the opinion of the Department of Agriculture after extensive investiga- tions at important shipping points. Although sacks aro mostly used for shipping, they are not as satisfactory as barrels, because they allow bruising and do not permit sufficient ventila- tion. Sacks cost less than barrels, however, and If used should not con- tain more than 120 pounds. Careful grading will increase the grower's profits, and will insure a ready market, especially if a brand is used which the dealer gets to know. He will pay more for potatoes from a grower that he knows to be reliable, measure should be placed on each con - because his potatoes will be carefully tainer, and cars should be loaded ac - graded and packed, and will not con- � cording to a definite plan which pro- tein bruised, cut, or diseased tubers. The majority of rotten potatoes are caused by bruises which permit fung- ous diseases to get a start. Careful handling will eliminate most of this. Containers should be strong, and where barrels are used they should be placed on end in cars, instead of on the bilge, as there is less break- age. Cloth -top panels do not protect as well as those having double heads, and slat' or veneer barrels will not stand rough handling.

Where sacks are used they should be set upright in the car,' one half of the bags leaning against one side of the car alai the other half against the other side. Ventilated box coals or stock cars may be safely used for shipping ne'w potatoes, and double -deck stock cars are being successfully used in some sections by placing one solid layer of sacks or barrels standing upright on each deck. If stock cars are used, it is best to line the sides with heavy building paper to protect from sun and weather.

Points to Watch in Selecting Seed Corn. 1, Get only a fewv bushels—enough to plant a, special seed -cern plot. From this select the seed for the suc- ceeding year's crop. 2. Pick seed corn in the field when it is ripe—that is, hard, just before it freezes. 8. Pick a medium-sized ear—not a big one. Large ears mean late -matur- ing plants. 4. Don't pick an ear from -a hill which has smut in or neve it. 5. Don't let your seed corn freeze. Store it in a warm, dry piece where plenty of air is circulating. 6. Don't pile up the ears. 'Hang the corn so the ears' do not touch. • 7. Test your seed early enough so that 11 your coral does not show good germination you will have time;to get and test new -seed. 8. Change your seed corn every few years for the same , reason that a breeder changes his bulls. Beet foliage should be twisted off with the hands matead of cutting it off with a knife, as there is less risk of bleeding.

OCTOBER 5. John and Peter Become Biseiples of Jesus -John 1: 29.42, Golden ; Text, John 1: 43. V. 29. "John" is, of course, John the Baptist, 'reboot whom this story is told. Jahn, the disciple and after- ward the great apostle, is not men- tioned in this lesson by name, but it is supposed that he and Andrew were".,, the two disciples' of John the Baptist mentioned in v. 35 (compare v. 40). It le most interesting to learn from this narrative that they and others who afterward followed Jesus had been attracted by the preaching of His great forerunner. John the Baptist's preaching as like that • of th Old Testament prophets, full o8 zeo4 for righteousness and of the expee atdon of the speedy coming of the Saviour. The hope of the prophets had been long delayed but never abandoned. There were many in Judea and Galilee in' those clays who were looking and waiting with passionate longing for the Saviour, who would deliver them from their foreign oppressors and restore the 'ancient kingdom. • John the Baptist declared that the time was at hand. But, like the prophets, he believed and preached that the preparation for the coming of the Saviour purist be by repentance. For only the righteous could enter into His kingdom. His first act would be one of judgment, and He would destroy all sinners. Now, when he recognizes in Jesus the One whose coining he had foretold, he calls Him "The Lamb of God." He must have been thinking either of the lamb offered in daily sacrifice at the temple, or of the Passover lamb, both of which represented to the Jewish mind the removal 00 forgiveness of sin and the saving grace of God. The Passover' stood always associated with the deliverance from Egypt. - John thinks first, not -of the kingdom which he expects the Christ will establish, but of the taking away of sin. Every- thing, he knew, depended upon that. For where silt remained there could be. no salvation. Christ';, kingdom could only come in the fullness of its power when sin was banished. We may suppose that John the Bap- tist.tvas-here (vs. 20-34) talking to a group of his disciples. Ile points out Jesus to then' as Jesus is approach= ung. This is the Saviour Christ of whom be had been telling them, and upon whom he had seen the dove des- cending after His baptism. He would have them believe in and follow Jesus. He wood not have known Him, he °'aid, but for the sign of the dove, and - yet there is evidence that he had known Jesus as a kinsman of blame- less life before this event. -See the stories of the baptism in Matthew, Mark and Luke. V, 37, "Tire two disciples." Jesus invited then to come to Ibis dwelling, and they spent the day in conversation with Hiro. This was ilia beginning of an acquaintance which was tee tr0n1- form their lives. It is remarkable that John, who is the writer of this Gospel, gives the name of one of these two disciples, but not of the other. He says also in v. 41 that Andrew "first findeth his own brother Simon," and the sugges- tion conveyed by the words "first" and "his own" is, appal/el/11y, that the Other unnamed.discipie also :found and brought a brother to Jesus. Who was the other disciple? Read- ers of the Gospel story have a1•most unanimously replied "John himself." This seems most likely to be the true answer. John modestly withholds his own name. But just -as Andrew found and brought Simon, eo John found and brought James. It was Jesus who gave to Simon the surname "Cephas," which in Aramaic means "stone," and of which the. Greek equivalent is Petros, from which we get "Peter." Jesus recognized the sturdy sltrengbh oe tlots Galilean fisherman, and it was not long after thismeeting when He ealled him to be His follower. To Jahn and James He gave the name "Boanerges," whioh means "eons of thunder," recognizing in them the fiery passion and eloquence which_ made them famous in after years. The home of Peter and John was Bet'irsaitla on the lake of Galilee, a lit- tle north of Oapernaum. Later, a1 the time of Jesus' nielstry in Galilee, Peter was married and living ill Oapernaum. Both were fishermen. Their education was that of the pious Jewish hoarse and school, in which they would learn much of the history and moral teachings of the Old Testament. The language spoken was Aramaic, a sister tongue to the Hebrew, but in the school they may have learned some Hebrew, as Jewish children in Jewish schools still do. They were not, of course, highly eduoateo, and the learn- ed Jeers, of that time would have Dal - led: them "unlearned and ignorant men" (Acts 4: 13), but they load the elementary knowledge of, the syna- gogue school, and they appear to have also learned to speak the 'Greek lan- guage, which was widely used in the world' of that day. The father of John and Jiames la mentioned int- Matt, 4: 21 -mod Mark 1: 20, and -their mother, Salome, In Mark 15°ha: 40 and 16: 1, The •only animal that le really dumb. is the gimaffe, which is unable to make any sound whatever. 9 Buy Thrift stamps.
