than are farmers engaged in 'mixed

however, can be made generally.

such cultural practices as the grow

and pruning.
2. Diversification in Vegetable
Crops and Small Fruits.

4. Use more Commercial Fertiliz-
ers—In general .fruit and vegetable
growers could •profitably use more
commercial fertilizers.

Marketing Problems.
(a) Cold storages are required in
cheese factory areas, This would en-
able small factories to market their

present time owing to lack of cold
torage their produce roust be'mark-
eted at once, This not only causes
gluts but results in a buyers' market
w'inti to the fact that the buyers
control practically all present cold
torages.
(b) Assistance in solving market -

hold-ups and surpluses. The system

ily of study.
(c) Readjustment of freight rates.
The rate charge on produce from

rn Ontario to Toronto. The same

former is out of the room. Upon his
return no one appears. to make a sign,
but the performer instantly names
the chosen article. The trick is ac-
complished with the aid of a. confed-
erate who is smoking a cigar or cig-

gar in, his mouth so that it designates
the chosen article, beim; either at the
left side, right side or centre of his
mouth.
Catch the Coins
Two coins are.placed on the back
of the performer's right hand, The
trick is to toss the coins in the air
and to catch one at a time as'they
come down. If the coins are tossed
straight up it will be almost inpos-
sibfe to catch them singly. The coins
are tossed with an upward tilt of the
hand. This causes the'coin at the
o finger-tips to travel much higher
than the other, and it will prove quite
` easy to grab them one at a time as
they fall. With more practice the
trick can be done• with three coins.

TRICKS FOR THE
XMAS PARTY
•
A Clever Match Trick
The perofrmer of this trick takes a
match in each hand and rests the
hands palm upward, on the table.
Then he closes the hands and asks
someone to place a match upon the
closed fists. The, performer then an-
nonnces 'that he is ,able to pass the
Match from one hand to the other
without opening his hands. Ile makes
a rapid up-and-down movement of
both hands. This causes the two Vis-
ible matches to fall on the table, and
lie asks for there to be replaced on
top of his knuckles. This is done,
[told another quick movement is made
so as to cause the two exposed mat-
ches to fall into the hands. The per-
former then opens his hands and one
hand is found to contain three match.-
es
atch-es and the other only one match. The
secret of this trick is that when he
let the two matches fall on the table
they were not the two from top of
the knuckles of each hand, but one
from the'"knuckies and one ftonv the
palm of the same hand. The next
Movement caused one knuckle match
to fall into the palm of the hand, so
that; unseen by the audience, one
pWm contained 'two matches and the
other was empty, •
To Make a Needle Float
This sounds impossible, but it is
c Lily performed as follows: Lay a
,nt Idle on a cigarette paper and place
it in a glans bowl of water. Carefully
cause thc.paper to sink and the needle
vci1.1 remain floating.
To Lift a Man
It is possible to lift a utas from
ground with five fingers.: 'Cwo per-
sr,n;; put their index fang rs tinder'
the insteps of the person to be lifted,
tvtro others place 0 finger under each'
elbow, and a fifth puts' his forefinger
under tb,,;titan's-chin. At a given sig-

A Trick With Coins
Lay a dime between two quarters
on a tablecloth, then place a tumbler
on the two larger coins. Ask your
friends if they can remove the dime
without touching in any way either
the glass or the coins. They will
probably give up the attempt before
long,but it is really very easy to do
when you know how. All you need
to do is to scratch the tablecloth with
your forefinger, and the dime will
stove in the direction of the scratch-
ing.
Cut String Restored
A loop of string is held between
the thumb and fingers, and a member
of the audience is allowed to cut it
with a knife. The performer chews
the cut ends of the string and they
are restored. The trick is done with
a short bit of extra string. The extra
piece is held protruding from the
thumb and fingers while the actual
loop itself reposes safely in the hand..
When the false loop is cut the per-
former thrusts the loop and two loose
ends into his mouth. He retains the
two bits of string and brings out the
loop completely restored.
Very Modest.

that "on the Sabbath we went out of

down, and spake unto the women
which resorted thither." The "really
important" folks of that day who
happened to be passing, probably
paid little attention to the insignifi-
ant group by tate riverside. But
what history was making, in God's
laps and in human life! That is the
way God so often does things; we

to life by simple faith in Christ as
Saviour. •
Christianity spread to .Europe be-
cause the Lord Jesus Christ exercis-
ed and demonstrated His power over
all other powers—the power of sin, of
evil spirits, of evil men, of darkues
and "the rulers of the darkness of
this world."
At the command of Paul in the
name of Christ a deuton was cast uut
of a slave girl; her owners saw their
profits disappearing, and the storm
broke; Paul and Silas were cast into
prison. An earthquake followed, the
jailer, a would-be suicide, was saved;
and a midnight baptismal service c,f
joy; was` held as ;an ,entire household
was born again.
Berea, after a riot arra persecut-
ion in Thessalonica, a great. Bible
study revival broke out, and multi-
tudes were saved as they testedfor
ft r
themselves in the light of God's
Word. That is a good test to make'
of all religious teaching and preach
ing today.
At Ephesus the Gospel of the Lord
Jesus Christ made sucli city-wide
'conquests, sweeping multitudes into
the kingdom, that the worship of the
great goddess Diana was threatened.
The sale of silver shrines for Diana,
which had been very profitable, fell
off so noticeably that thecraftsmen
staged a riot, Paul's life was threat-
ened, and he had to seek other parts.
Finally, the Gospel reached Rome •
in a strange way. Paul's' hope and
dream of yeari was fulfilled, but not
as he had anticipated. He went to
Rome a prisoner, lived there for two
whole years a -prisoner, preached as
a prisoner, ,and went • right on with
•the evangelization of Europe from
this stragetic centre of the Continent
and of the world of that day.
When God decides to evangelize a
city or a nation or a continent, hien
cannot prevent it. And God ..:hooses
