Ii possible it is advisable to have the
number of fields the same as the num-
ber of years necessary to complete a
cycle of the rotation. For example, for
a rotation of corn. oats and barley,
wheat and clover, requiring' four years
for a single field to produce all those
crops, an ideal arrangement would be
to have four uniform fields or, if very

tion of labor• on the •crops. If the
proper crops are chosen there is a
sequence of operation throughout the
season. This enables us to care for the
crops with a minimum amount of
laborat any ai one time. Since labor is
from forty, to fifty per cant of the
entire expense of growing' -a crop,
economy in this respect influences
A poultryinan recently told me that
he figured on pure-bred pullets being
worth at least seventy-five to one hun-
dred per cent. more for breeding pur-
poses than for market. This may be
true but there is a grea., variation in
the value of pure-bred pullets and the
birds are not of much value as breed-
ers just because they are pure-bred,,
It is fundamental that the birds be
pure-bred as a foundation. Then their
value is built up according to their
ether characteristics.
One reason that some farmers are
prejudiced against pure-bred Poultry
is due to Seine poor quality pure-breds l
they have seen. Some farmers. who
have culled their grade stock for years
and kept only the best will never cull

When buying pure-bred pullets we
figure the value cf the hires by the
birds themselves. Some pullets are a
poor investment at any price. Others
might be a bargain at five dollars
each. There can be no set rule for

Fourth, we come to the "tug of

keep about so many pullets for the
year. She dislikes to kill or market
a pullet. This temptation is great
with icer. Often she reasons this way:
"I want about so many pullets next
spring. They are young; they will
grow, and it will not cost much to keep
thein, for I Will let them pick their'
living."
Remember, dear reader, this es all
wrong. A pullet should' be fed heavily
in order properly to 'develop a con-
stitution that will combat the drain

Fourth, we come to the "tug of
war." Tito busy housewife wishes to
keep about so many pullets for the
year. She dislikes to kill or market
a pullet. This temptation is great
with icer. Often she reasons this way:
"I want about so many pullets next
spring. They are young; they will
grow, and it will not cost much to keep
thein, for I Will let them pick their'
living."
Remember, dear reader, this es all
wrong. A pullet should' be fed heavily
in order properly to 'develop a con-
stitution that will combat the drain
upon her heavy egg procluetion. It.
costs too much to keep over a peer lot'

The HALLIDAY COMPAtav,Lernited
"Teem did not receive hint," These
Samaritans acted very badly. Not .
only were they guilty of -gross'' in-
hosp°itality,, but they also showed un-
reasonable and bigoted lmostelity to
Jeuus and His disciples because they
were going to Jerusalem.' So far did
they carry the old fend between Jew.
and Samaritan. In their anger the
two brothers, fames and Sohn, would'
have blasted them with fire from
heaven. Perhaps they deserved it.
But that was not Jesus' way. Judg-
ment would overtake those childish
evildoers soon enough. His ministry
was 'one of grace and of forgiveness,
not of destruction.
The same attitude toward' our
enemies, which James and John
adopted, is manifest hn much of what
we say and do to -day. Should we not
rather cultivatespirit the s irit and mind
of Jesus? Our mission in the world
