CO-OPERATION We have often heard that the way to get along is to co-operate. A new lesson in this regard was demonstrat- ed in Ohio last weep. .A farmer had a chattel mortgage on his goods for $100 and had been delinquent in his payments of principal and interest, and the mortgage was foreclosed. All his neighbors decided to help him out of this, difficult situation, and this is how they did it. When the auc- tioneer started to sell the goods he received bids that were so..small 'that . they amounted to almost nothing and as no further bids were received he had to knock them down at these prices. In all lie collected $2,17., to satisfy the mortgage of $400. After the sale was over the purchasers pre- sented the farmer with his goods and also gave hint $5,00 for luck.

And he taught thein many things in perltble, and said unto thein in his 'teaching. Christ's parables are by far the greatest ever produced, Such parables as those of the prodigal son, the good Samaritan, the ten virgins,. and the lost sheepreach the apex of spiritual teaching and of social phil- osophy. Hearken. Our Lord thus express- es his earnestness. Behold, Another expression calling for keen listening; Perhaps accompanied by a gesture to- ward the grainfields_behind his aud- ience.Tia sower wentforth to Sow.. "Went forth" indicates the Palestin- ian custom of grouping the farmers' homes in villages for mutual protec- tion against prowling robbers, the farms. themselves being at a consid- erable 'distance in the open country. X And it came to pass, as he -sowed, The seed was in the fold of his gar- ment or in a bag thrown over his shoulders, and as he marched along through the furrow he put in his handgrasped handfuls of it, and toss- them skilfully first on one side and then on the '.other, so that all the ground received its proper share. Some seed fell by the way side. As already. said, Palestinian grainfields were not fenced and common paths, packed hard by many feet, made their way in many directions through then. This -ems the way side. And the birds came and devoured it. Palestine is the home of many birds, and espec- ially a multitude of crows blacken the air and follow the farmer, ready to devour the precious seed which he has so y anxiousl committed to the soil. Aiid other fell on the rocky ground where it had not much earth. What is meant is ground which to a large extent is that of 'Palestine, where a thin superficial coating of mould co- vers the surface of a rock;• this stret- ching below it, would present a bar- rier beyond which it would be whol- ly impossible that the roots could penetrate to draw up supplies of nou- rishment from beneath. And straight- way. Mark's adverb always fitting, is especially appropriate here. It sprang up, because•it had no deep- ness of earth. Thesun's lieat, reflect- ed from the rock -layer so close to the surface, would hasten the germin- ation of the seed. And other (seed) fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. Christ probably had reference to. the thorny plant called nabk by the Ar- abs, a plant found everywhere in Pal- estine, a rank growth. And he said, Who : hath cars to. Bear, let him hear. A preacher may re pour d's ious instruction into one P g congregation all his life, and vet pro- duce no results unless l..: arouses their attention and causes there to ponder what he hassaid and apply it to their lives. TEACHING BY PARABLES. And when he was done, they that were about him with the twelve eske ed of him the parables. Our Lord told that to them, the disciples; it' was given to' know the mystery, of the Kingdorn pf God but those outside' their privileged: cir- cle he would hereafter teach in par- ables, :so that arables,:so.that they would see with- out perceiving, and hear without un- derstanding, since they did not really desire spiritual. knowledge. And he said unto thein.know ye not this, parable? It was a .very sim- ple and clear parable; our Lord was astonished that his disciples,. at least, had not comprehended its meaning and purpose. And how shall ye know all the parables? It was a test par- able, an entrance examination in the school of the great Teacher, FOUR KINDS OF HEARERS. The sower sowed the word. The sower is, primarily, our Lord .him- self, the living Word of . God. And these are they by the way side where the word is sown, Tlie parable is not spoken to those who have had no opportunity of hearing the truth. And when they have heard, straight- way cometh Satan. No procrastina- tion, And taketh away the word which hath been sew,, in them. We need to stir up the soil constantly with earnest prayer and Bible. reading and vigorous Chaistian work. And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the reeky places, What is :plainly meant is: "The case is similar with those whose 'hearts are like rocky places on which the seed is sown:" Who, when they had Beard the worn, straightway -receive it with a . f Yeti havet I not cot ntcd ly.

Then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth they stumble, 'There aro many severe tests o Chrla- tianity today, perhaps as many and as severe as et er, though they are difl;erent: And others are they that are sown among the thorns, The same con- densed expressionnoted above. These are they that have heard the word, All have heard it, but with different and perhaps increasing degrees of at- •tention, And the cares of the world.

News and Information For the Busy Farmer An increasing export trade in hon- ey is reported, over 60,000 pounds having been shipped already by the Ontario ,Honey Export Association. Six hundred bushels of soy beans are being crushed daily in the man- ufacturing plant recently opened at Chatham, Meal and oil are the main products, although others are likely to follow. 0 0 Market For Qntario Celery Seen in Western Provinces Shipments of Ontario celery to 'Western Canada,are c iii i n at their destination in first cl pss condition and., because of the particularly high quality of this product, it is being well received, 'This was revealed iii a . telegran'i from 't\r, 13, Somerset, chairman of the - Ontario Marketing Board, who has been in Western Canada.

Inferior feed or a skimpy ration 'does not make market toppers of even the best type of cattle. Clean and Sterilize All Dairy Utensils The keeping quality of ' milk de- pends directly upon the number of bacteria present and this in turn de- pends on the thoroughness with which dairy utensils have been clean- ed and sterilized. The use of live steam or scalding with boiling water is always effective providing it is av- ailable in sufficient volume, but as a general rule the quantity available on the average`farin is inadequate for effective results. It is for this rea- son that the use of chlorine in suit- able form is recommended by bac- terilogical experts. It acts rapidly in cold water, and is cheaper and more convenient than the heat treatment generally recommended. When prop- erly employed chlorine sterilization gives excellent results and the prac- tice, already general among milk and mmtammumumarommaNsmonmsniiiinnummili III ,BeautymNevv.
