Mrs. P, Keine gave 'a wet prepared paper on "Keeping Out � Ruts," saying that there are sever kinds of.ruts, namely, 1st complain ing, 2nd melancholy, 3rd angry, 4t work, 5th overcleanliness. Speakin of complaining, she said. we get int a rut of grumbling and are probabl not conscious of it. To be angrr hurts one's nerves and injures health Melancholy means always telling peo pie your. troubles and; thinking you are so much worse off'than anyone else. Work is all `right in; its place but some people think of nothing else and try to keep others at it too, and never think of recreation. And of ov- ercleanliness the speaker suggests there was such a thing as being too particular. Therefore making . life miserable for all:living with such a person, How to get out of these ruts, be cheerful, always wearing a visile, never frown: There is no dan- ger g of overdoingthe smile r e habit.

And he said unto them, Is lamp .brought to be put under bushel? The szsual lamp of a Jew home was a shallow earthenw dish, open or with a covey. It w filled with .olive oil, drawn up by c illary attraction into a wick whi floated in it, the end. of the wick pr truding through a spout or hole the side. • On the side opposite t wick was often a handle. Or and the bed. A :couch on which one r dined at table, or a bedi on whi one slept, each being high enou ;rot to be set on fire by the lamp, b low enough to hide its light. And n to be put on the stand? It is t Kristian who is in dead carne hose life tells on all that is abo im. For there is nothing hid, save tit should be manifested.

You cannot be a re - ns roan unless you exercise your ious faculties. And the Church So o is the kingdoni m of God, as gif a marl should cast' . a tseei s c upon the earth. By "the kingdom of God.', Christ meant the coming reign of God on the earth, in justice, righteousness, peace and love. And should sleep and rise night and day. Here is a picture of the trust and patience that should char- acterize the Christian. And the seed should spring up and. grow, he know- eth not how. The secret of life, thus far at least, has been held closely in the counsels of Omniscence. The earth beareth fruit of herself. Spontaneously, without human super- .- intencience, we are living in a fruit- - ful world. First the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. Al] this was potentially in the seed; !the multitudes which no man can number were present by prophecy the and purpose in the incarnation. the But when the fruit is ripe, straight- ish way he putteth forth the sickle, be are cause the harvest is come. There will as ccme a time when the Lord will ga- p-athey stip all the results of our life on ch earth; may we have a goodly har- o- vest to gladden his heart in that day! at he THE MUSTARD SEED, er And he said, How shall we Iiken e -the kingdom of God? or in what,par- ch able shall we set it forth? Our Lord gh ut of he st it at ht s i - tit e i any other kind of seeds which Christ's hearers were in the habit of handling and sowing. Yet when it is sown, groweth up and becometh greater than all the herbs. Not, of course, larger than trees, but largest of all the plants in the garden. And putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the hcaven can lodge under the shadow thcrof. How small are the forces that oftentimes determine character? One brief sentence of Scripture meeting the eve of a German monk was the mustard -seed; the character of Mar - 1 tin Luther, the great reformer, was l fthe tree that grew therefrom; And with many such parables ,spake he the word unto them. The word of the kingdom of heaven. How glad d we should bb if, we had a :hill report of all these parables! As they were able to hear it. He had many other truths to unfold, but they were beyond his hearers' capacity' to und- erstand. Doubtless also there are many wonderful troths about Gocl which are not set crown in the Bible, because they are far beyond the pow- er of human words to express and of human minds to comprehend,' But we, have all the divine knowledge we meed to know :for this present life, And without a parable spako tie not unto theta. So bitter had his foes C w h it c out t t ,proves 11 ca aI pa at is 1i e vi sh< loo on so %V0 syll itIt o of eyc we hest we: become, and $o necessary was it to couch his teachings in language to which, however they night wish, they could not take exception, But priv- ately to his own disciples he ex- pounded all things. .I3i,s disciples would explain the parables to all sin- cere inquirers, but not to the Phari- sees and scribes who were merely trying to catch Jesus in his .talk. FARM NEWS AND VIEWS , Published by direction of Hon. Robt. Weir, Minister of Agri- culture, Ottawa, 1932 Grasshoppers Good Layers In an address given before the Un- iversity Club of Ottawa recently, Mr. Arthur . Gibson, Dominion Entomol- ogist, gave an account of . the valu- able work being conducted by the Entomological' Branch for the Fed- eral Department of Agriculture. The losses from injurious insects amount to many millions of `' dollars every year within the Dominion. As a re- sult of investigations conducted by federal entomologists, he claimed that important savings are resulting eyery year from entomological re- search. Referring to infestations of grass- hoppers in Western Canada, he stat- ed that the officer in charge of the federal work ` in Manitoba, Mr. Nor- man Criddle, in directing 'a federal survey of the grasshopper infested areas' in Manitoba last autumn had discovered the eggs of grasshoppers in numbers up to 140,000 in one sq. foot of soil. Unless these eggs are reduced in numbers by adverse wea- ther or other natural control factors, there is every probability ' brut P y of an im- portant outbreak of destructive grasshoppers in Western Canada during the coming summer. Future For Canadian Turkeys Mr. W. A. Brown of the Dominion Live Stock Branch has returned. from Great Britain where he was associat- ed with the marketings of the Christ- mas trade of about 90,000 fatted poul- try. The shipment, which consisted mostly of turkeys, went over in "chilled" instead of the usual frozen condition, therefore came in direct competition with the home -killed ra- ther than imported stock. He reports that because of the quality and at- tractive presentation of the shipment, which was sold chiefly in London, the stock immediately attracted the attention of the wholesalers and was quickly sold at favourable prices. He was given the assurance of the trade that a shipment of equal quality for the next Christmas season could eas- ily be doubled in quantity without overstocking the market, Canadian Cattle Feeds Find New Market 4cording to the United Kingdom de Commissioner a promising de in cattle feeds is in prospect in British market. In the January t issue of the Commercial Intelli- ce Journal it is stated that the ortation of cattle feeds, consist - of bran and other flour milling 1, from Canada is comparatively beginning in 1931 when Canad- shipments rose from practically to 22,263 long tons (2,240 lbs.). this amount 6,000 tons were. is and middlings and the remain - bran.

In analysis the relation of size of business to income the records of 87 ranches were grouped according to the number of breeding ewes per ranch: 11 ranches had under 500 breeding ewes; 25 'between 500 and 999; 18 'between 1;000 and 1,499; 17 between 1,500 and 1,999; 5 between 2,000 and 2,499; 4 between 2,5000 and 2,999; and 7 ranches had over 3,000 breeding ewes. Ranches who had less than 500 breeding ewes obtained an average ranch income of $441, where- as thosewho had between 1,500 and 2,000 breeding ewes secured $2,022. The income per ranch was thus found to increase with an increase in the number of breeding ewes until the size group 2,000 to 2,499 ""was reach- ed and from this point declined, in- dicating that these sheep ranchers who had between 1,500 and 2,000 breeding ewes had about the right balance between the number of ewes, _ amount of range, labour and equip- ment per. ranch, IT'S LER THAT MAKES YOU FEEL SO WRETCHED Wake .up your Liver Bile —No Calomel necessary For you to Seel healthy and happy, your over must pour two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels, every day. without that bile, trouble starts.
