• Answer -I do not know any prac-
tical method of ridding a farm of
English sparrows. Cutting down
brushwood which surrounds the.fields
will destroy their nesting places. As
'a rule they cling pretty closely. to
barn yards and groves. Crop the.
ground nearer the barn and woodlots
or groves to fodder crops or corn, po-
tatoes and so forth, crops on which
the sparrows do not live.

Some Do's and Dont's in
Setting Fruit Trees.
Don't put manure in the holes when
setting trees. Orchardists have given
manure a thorough trial and condemn'
it. If you do use manure, place it on
top of tha ground around the tree; but
• be sure to scrape it away' before fall.
It makes fine mouse nests if you leave
-it near the tree.
Don't crowd the roots or curve them
around the hole. It is far better to
cut them off if they are too long. -
Don't leave air spaces under the
roots; air is fatal to the root growth.
Don't •
allow the trees to lie in the sun
while you are digging holes. Dip the
rots in water or, better still, in a pail
or tub filled with thick muddy water.
If you can possibly spare them, put
a few potatoes under each tree around
the roots. The rotting potatoes furs
nick moisture and some plant food. 'If
they grow, let them, but do not at-
tempt to dig the potatoes.
Don't forget to cutback the branch-
es to a length of not over six inches.
Cut off all side branches of the peach
trees. Do the pruning after you are
through setting. Lean the trees a little
in the direction of prevailing winds.
Don't put sub -soil around the roots.
Save the top soil and put it in the
bottom around the roots.
Don't set out dwarf trees in a com-
mercial . orchard. .They are for the
city lot or garden. Don't set out
standard trees on the city lot. Dwarf
treed take up but little room and bear
young.
Don't buy trees just because they
are cheap. A cheap tree is a mighty
dear tree. Deal only with reputable
nurseries.- - Don't -buy pictures, buy trees. The
'standard varieties need no fancy pic-
tures.
Don't lot the high price of nursery
stock prevent you from setting out
some trees. .A year from now your
,money will be gone and you.will not
have the trees. :
Don't let your age prevent you from
setting out an orchard. You are never

Application.
The story of Joseph is full of vivid
color and movement. Amid the multi-
tude of its religious teachings let us
select these:
1. The discipline and hard knocks
of life may tram us for useful service
and ripeness of Christian character.
Joseph had his share of trouble -the
pit, the slave whip • over- his back
prison, suspicion, ingratitude -but a
last the mostowerffl • office in
Egypt (let us callitthe premiership)
passed into his hands. `
2. Two of the poisonous ingredients
that filled the cup of Joseph were (a)
envy, (b) ingratitude. His brothers
envied him and sold him into slavery.
Martin Luther 'tells a story of a
robin that fed regularly on some
bread crumbs that were placed on the
window sill. After the meal, the robin
hopped to a near -by branch of a tree
and sang its carol of gratitude to God
for his goodness. Let us learn to be
thankful to one another for help and
kindness shown to +ts, and above all
let us be thankful to God for "his

Horseshoes of Paper.
It has been proposed to make a
paper horseshoe.that eha11 for general
purposes be the equal of the steel ar-
ticle in the following ways Parchment
paper is eat in horsesboe form and
built up to a suitable thickness by the
use of a mixture of turpentine, Span-
ish
panish white shellac and linseed oil treat-
ed with litharge- and the whole is
placed under an hydraulic press. This
produces very light end uniform
pieces and it is au easy matter to
stamp out the nail holes and grooves.
Instead of nailing to the horse's Hoof
they can be.applled with an adhesive
composition whose principal part is a
solution of rubber in bisulphide of car-
bon. Paper waste -could also be nxould-
ed into the shape of a homeshoe by
use of the press•, but the result is not
so good as with the above.

There are two things which ovary
farmer 'should keep h mind, pa'-
ticularly if he plans on staying in the
farming business, One of theta is to
make a ,living, and the other is to se
handle his land that it will be moxa
easy to supply his wants in years to
come than it is now.
There are too many farmers who
feel that the immediate present is tho
all-important time. They mortgage
the future by 'taking fertility fro
their• land to a point where the sof
becomes exhausted. Farmers shoal
definitely plan some sure and aeon-
omic way of building soil instead of
wrecking it. This plan should also
pay its way as it goes.
An agricultural expert makes, in
this connection, the following augges-+
tions
1. Conserve rigidly all animal ma-
nures, solid and liquid.
2. Supplement them with phosphate)::
fertilizers.
3. In short • rotations use more
clover, and in long'rotations add nitros
genous fertilizers on the hay crop.

We believe that thousands of On..
tario farmers could adopt this prd-
gram to their advantage.
• Wax for Phonographs.
The carnauba, or wax palm, has
many commercial uses, but its chief
value is its production of wax for mak-
ing phonograph records. The best
quality comes from the tenderest
leaves. They ars out at three different
periods during the wax season, which
extends from September to March. It
takes about two .thousand leaves to•
make twenty-five.. to thirty pounds of
wax. The leaves are dried in the sun
and when thoroughly withered are
beaten with flails to remove the wax.
The raw produot is melted in boiling
water and strained to remove foreign
matter. ,
Welcome the day when great com-
munity centres will be erected from
the stones of self-centred homes.
Faith in the country boy and girl is
the first essential in their successful
leadership.

Distributing Real Wealth.
We would have less troubles with
prices, wages, strikes, unions, cost of
living, and similar.. problems, if we
could only get two or three simple
economic facts through the heads oil
more people.
The forst is that money is not
wealth, and is'to 'be desired: only he.,
cause it is exchangeable for. real
wealth. Wealth Is sugar, shoes,-sciss
sors, seeds, soap, straw hats, autos
mobiles, amber beads, books, bread,
buttons, clocks, cornets, sandy, corns
cod-liver oil, and all the other things
we eat, wear, or enjoy.
The second fact is that the wealth-
iest nation is the one that :produces
and consumes the largest quantities of
all these things.
The third is that the happiest na-
tion is the one that produces much
wealth, and consumes it as evenly, ad
possible among all classes.
The real trouble at the bottom oil
most social unrest is the feeling that
a small number of individuals at the
top of the social ladder do none of the .
producing, and an outrageously large
part of the consuming.. This is true.
