When putting away potatoes we use
boxes that hold from one to two bush-

tubers are readily overhanled from
time to time, for if one potato goes

coolest part of the cellar must be re-
served for them, and light miust be

greatly impaired. Of course this can
be obviated by covering the boxes
with seeks or other material to ex-
clude all light.
LOOK OUT FOR VENTILATION.
If the cellar has a dirt floor the
majority a the root crops will ap-
preciate the 'small quantity of mois-
ture that will always be present, pro-
vided the furnace is at such a distanci
at the temperature will never be
nedely high. In the latter case it
will' be well te erect a partition, thus
Providing 'a separate room for the
vegetables, and as far removed from
the furnace as possible,. The parti-
thee, need eet be made of expensive
material, but a separate storage room
is absolutely necessary if vegetables
are to be kept in first-class condition
for any length of time.
Ventilation is of the greatest im-
Portanere e The storage room should
be provided with at least one window;
if there are two, so much better.
During, all milcl weather the windows
should be left partly open, but safely
screened with wire to ,keep out ver-
min. Then they must be shaded with
burlap or sacking to exclude light.
While 'potatoes should be thoroughly
dry before storing, such root crops as
beets, carrots, turnips, parsnips, sal-
sify and winter eadishes reqiure more
moisture; therefore, they should be
4,Packed in soil or sand. With the ex-
eletion of potatoes the other roots
might lie better stored, in an, outshel,
where conditions will more readily
lend themselves to using soil in which
to pack them, and where the temper-
ature will be lower. , But this may
not be safe in localities where the
temperature goes down to zero. , How-
ever, if the heaps are well covered
with Straw and soil and they are not
opened and .exposed while the temper-
eture is very low, a little ftost pene-
lrating the heap will do little if any
damage and, taking, advantage of
favorable weather, a 'sufficient quan-
tity of eqch may be brought to the
home cellar from tirneeo time. Before
storing; the tops must be cut off, but
be" careful not to cut into the roots;
it is welleto leave a tiny bit of the
stems on the roots, as it will prevent
bleeding,
Parsnips and salsify may be left in
'the ground, for they are perfectly
hardy- „

mirable storage place for onions -' it is
enheated, dry and cool. The bulbs
are spread out thinly on the floor.
CELERY'S SPECIAL NEEDS.
Celery requires special- attention in
storing if we are to he've it in prime
condition throughout winter and into
spring, Select a sheltered position
for the tretch, which is, dug eighteen
inches wide and deep. Loosen the
bottom of the trench, or spread a
little of the fine top soil over it to
encourage and take care of the roota
Moisten the bottom of the trench pre-
vieus to storing the pIante. The plants
elfould be lifted end puraway in dry
‘veather, for, if the tops are Wet when
packed, decay and rot will surely fol-
low. When lifting the celery plants
try to keep as much soil as possible on
the roots, and if they are very dry it
will be veil to ripply iriore water to
the bottora of the treech; and also dip
the roots in water, taking care that
the leaves and stalks are kept quite
dry, Set fbe plants in Tows fairly
cloee toeether, drawing soil well over
the roots AS each row is completed.
The soil between the rows, well firm-
ed, will allow a little air space be-
Lweeri the platts, and prevent heating,

Frtiizing Effect of Rain
and Snow.
The remark is often made, more
particnlarly by the town dweller,
that there is no water like rain water
for freshening up the lawn and gat: -
den. The reason for this is at least
partly explained in the report of the
Dominion Chemist, who has been
carrying on chemical examinations of
snow and rain. The Dominion Chem-
ist points out that the chief function
of rain is the bringing into solution
of the plant food in the soil, thus
making it available for absorption by
the plant reotiets. But At is also true,
he continues, that rain and snew con-
tribute a notable, though not a large
part of their nitrogen compounds to w n, be ice sup-

If the weather is a.ri t i
ply exhausted, and the water not cold
is found that the quantity of nitrogen enough to lower the creami to the re -
compounds present in rain and snow
varies from season to season, arid also
according to the locality in which the
rain falls. The condition of the at-
mosphere at the time of precipitation
respect to smoke, etc., markedly
affects the nitrogen content, for it is
by the washing, filtering, cleansing
action of the rain and snow that they
derive their feetilizing- value. Heavy
bush fires are credited with greatly
increasing the nitrogen per ton in the
rain, while samples of rain water col-
lected from large industrial-qentres
are shown to contain a greater rich-
ness of fertilizing value than rain,- or
snow collected in the open country.

Feeders and Stockers.
To assist eastern earmere Who have
plenty of feed to secure cattle at
cheap prices, and at the same time to
make an outlet for the product of the
Western ranges, the Dominion Live
Stock Branch is undertaking to share
the expense of bringing cattle east-
ward. The Branch undertakes until
the first of December to pay the one-
way railway fare and other living ex-
penses froen his home to Winnipeg,
Moose Jaw, or Calgary, of a farmer
who purchases one or more carloads
of cattle to be fed on his own farm
or on the farms.df others -for whom. he
makes purchases. Feeder shows and
sales of suitable cattle are to be held
at, Winnipeg on Oct. 8 to 11, Moose
Jaw Oct. 16 to 17, and Calgary Oct.
21 to 22. The purchaser is expected
to visit at least one of these events.
lf, however, he should not complete
his puechazes at these sales, arrange-
ments may be made through a repre-
sentative of the Live Stock Branch at
any of these stockyards to himself
visit a ranch to secure his shipment.
Before proceeding weetward on a
quired temperature, it would be well
to get a piece of ice to cool the "ex-
hibition" cream and the water used
for washing the butter.
This butter will be firm enough to
stand sufficieht working and it will
have better body and texture, improv-
ed color and more even distributi n of
the salt. '
If it should be necessary to add a
few drops of coloring to the cream be
careful not to add too much. Better
have the butter pale than have it
highly colored.
Do not wait until the morning of
the fair to churn the cream. The but-
ter will be in better coribliticni and will
score higher if it is made. two or three
days before. This -Will give -it time
to become "set," and the flavor of the
butter and salt will be blended.
The packages must be as neat and
tidy as it is possible to make them.
'Use a box or crock that looks new. A
chipped or cracked crock will reduce

"packing."

Moisture m &Jag Making
It is essential that there should be
sufficient moleture present in fodder
at the time i eing p ace in the
elk, to provide the water requirement
for the ensiling process and leave the
surplus necessary to have Amply
moist, well made silage after the fer-
rnentative and coaling processes have
taken place. With sufficient mois-
ture present in the ensiled mass there
is little danger of the fermentation
temperatures running too high. Corn
in the glazed stage, or dried out
through freezing, or long. delays in
harvesting will require liberal wet-
ting. The shortage in plant juices
can be made up by the application of
water in quantity sufficient to thor-
oughly -wet the cut fodder. Water is
best applied by running a ,smallI
stream directly into the fodder cutter
while the fodder is being passed
through and blown up into the silo.,
With water under pressure, a valve to
control the flow, and a section of gar-
den hose the precess of wetting the
cut fodder is easy.—L. Stevenson,

as we saw in our last leseon, was to
lead the nation af Israel ,to repent-
ance in preparation for the coming of
the kingdom. He 'sought to convert
the thoughtlees arid mdiffererit, to
rouse the careless, to comfart the de-
spairing, to restore the eoulseof th.e
1lost to God. It was his purpose, in
the couree of his Mission, to visit all
lee cities of Israel, so that everywhere
the summons to eepentance might be
given, and the offer of the Itingdorn of
God made. But the task was vast,
and beyond the Saviour's personal.
power to accomplish. Helpers were
needed, and now we see him solemnly
appointing twelve disciples to take
part with him in the evangelization of
Israe . We saw last week how full
of ceaseless activity his days were,
how tbe more he labored, the rno e the
multitudes gathered to him from
every side, needing instrtiction, heal-
ing. and guidance, These multitudes
represented the "lapsed maases" of
the Q,alilean cities. They consisted
largely of people who had drifted
away efrom the synagogue and from
, organized religion, and who had found
nothing to take its place. Restless
and dissatisfied, torn up by the roots,
so to speak, and drifting alinlezsly,
they moved the soul of Jesus to an
unutterable compassion. He did not
despair of the "proletariat" of Israel,
but sew his principal task in the re--
demptien of their souls to God, in
bringing the lost ones back to a
, worthy aim In life. "Come mite me,"
he said, "all ye, that labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
In Matt. 9:36 we read that Jesus
likened them. to "sheep having no
shepherd." They were exposed to
every temptation, and at the inercy
of the enemy of souls. Therefore,
Jesus said to his disciples, "The har-
vest truly is plenteous, but the labor-
ers are few; Pray ye, iherefore, the
Lord of the harvest, that he will send
forth laborers into ,his harvest,"

APPLICATION.,
In the choice of the Twelve, Jesus
followed what would new be consider-
ed a sound pedagogical path. First
disciples, then apostles—first learners,
then doers. "The end of a thought is
an action, said Carlyle. The means
of an action shoeld be a thought," let
us say. It needs intelligence to be a
,capable mechaniq lawyer, doctor. It
needs moral thoughtfulness to make
the complex individual life safe and
sound. It needs vision to co-ordinate
the life of a Christian democracy.
God gives us men Who are thinkers to
lead church and state into the un-
known. God giVe us a church and
state that will dare to do what our
best thinkers think.
In the choice of the Twelve, Jesus
followed a sound psychological law.
'He 'did not fill up the glorious egain-
pa.ny of the apostles with standard-
izeemen. Twelve men, more various
could not be found anywhere. Con-
sider the contrasts. Peter stood forth
like a fiery peak in the Highlander—
John, gently rested in his God like
some deep mountain tarn. Matthew
had been a publican, taking office
under the Roman government. Simon
the Zealot was a Sworn enemy of the
empire. There were no two men alike.
This shows us that we have a Sav-
iour who can tneet the need of all
types of mere He- is the catholic
Christ. Born in the East, he is wor-
shipped in the West, and when his
name is carried back again to the

every name, to describe their hero,
and call Ghandi, "the Christ of India."

To build up the fertility of the pia,
it should be given a good dressing Ot
finely powdered lime, applying it at
the rate of one ton to the acre, ,,or

yards.
soil is then worked and fitted
for sowing With a cover crop which
may take the form of winter vetch
and rye or rye alone. This will fur-
nish green manure and will be turned
under in spring.
THE JOBS HUIviUS DOES.
Humus adds greatly to the naoistu:,-e
holding capacity of the soil, which is
of so much importance during a dry
season. It also consolidates a light
soil and makes a heavy soil more
orous.
In addition to the humus which
may be added in the form of green
crops we can also have free nitrogen
by using a leguminous crop such as
hairy or winter vetch.
Whatever green crop is sown it
should be plowed down early in spring.
If allbwed to grew uninterruptedly
until spring is well advanced the tops
may becorne so heavy that they will
not decay quickly but will form a
vacuum under the top layer of soil,
which in the event of an early drought
will dry out quickly. This is obviated
by getting the vegetable matter down
in. good time.
Land now in sod which is intended
for cropping next spring should be
plovred this fall. This allows the grass
and roots ample time partially to
decay.
Old sod lane usually houses a beet
of undesirable insects over winter,
but by plowing in the fall and allow-
ing the ground to lie rough, many of
them will be destroyed.
There should be a compost pile in
every garden; in fact, we cannot do
without it if much potting has to be
done and where a special compost is
required foe hot beds, cold frames
and raising seedline,. plants,
The compost pile is made up prin-
cipally of good turf taken from a
pasture field, if possible; otherwise
the next best available. The sods are
cut about three inches thick and laid
in layer,s, grass side down On top of
two or three layers of sods we spread.
a coat of manure oe leaves.
Upon some of the layers bone meal
is scattered, also ground rock phos-
phate continuing the pile with alter-
nate layers of the foregoing until it is
four feet or rather more in height and
any desired width or length. Light
dressings of lime should be added be-
tween some of the layers; it will keep
the compost sweet. But do not bring
it in direct contact with any layer of
manure.
If the sod is taken from heavy clay
land an occasional layer of sand Or
finely sifted coal ashes will improve it
greatly, for a heavy retentive soil is
not at all suitable for geueral potting,
nor yet does it make a good eseed bed.
FROST.
The top of the pile ehould be fiat
or slightly hallowed in the centre that
it may hold the rain, which will assist
greatly in rotting the vegetable mat-
ter. Where practicable the compost
heap should be turned over and mixed
thoroughly after it has lain for a
