Silas went to • Phil- ppu, which was the chief city of that part of Macedonia; on the Sabbath°they went out of the city to the river side, where pfiayer services were held; there they taught the word; Lydia'.:things Thy - ether., gave heed to the ttngs Paul Spoke; she and her household were bap- tized; •she urged the apostles to abide at ber house. II. Topic: The tumult at Philippi, Place: Philippi. Paul and Silas were followed by a fortune=teller, who cried after theme; Paul was grieved: 'and com- mended the evil' spirit to eoene out of her; when the girl's mnasters saw the hope of their gain was gone, they were angry; they bad Paul and Silas arrest- ed; a mob rose up; tete missionaries were 'beaten. and cast into prison; at midnight they prayed and sang praises; suddenly there was a great earthquake; the prison doors were opened and the prisoners' bands were'loowed; the jailer drew his sword; Paul called to him; the jailer was converted; Paul stud Silas were cared for. III. Topic: The power of envy. Places: From Thessalonica to Berea and Athens. Paul and his companions, except Luke, left Philippi and went to Thessalonien; Paul entered the Synagogue and three Sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, proving that Jesus was the Chest; some of the Jews believed and joined themselves to the apostles, but of the Gentiles, "a groat multitude" :became Christians; the unbelieving' Jews gathered a mob, set the city in an uproar and assaulted the house of Jason.; Paul and Silas were sent to Berea by night and at once began to preach in the syna- gogue in tilt city; the Bereans searched the ecrijtures daily; the unbelieving 'Jews starred up the people; Paul went to Athens. IV. Topic: The gospel in Athens. Place: Athens.

VI. Topic: Pastoral admonitions. Place: Written at Corinth. The letter to the Thessalonians was written A. D B2. They had misunderstood Paul's teaching on. the second coming of Christ, In this letter Paul gives them various exhortations and directions. They are told to admonish the disorderly; to encourage and support the weak; to always do good; to constantly rejoice, pray and give thanks; not to quench the Spirit or despise prophesyings; to prove all things; to hold fast the good; to abstain from evil; they are calked to entire sanctification. VII. Topic: The gospel in Ephesus. Place: Ephesus.

VIII. Topic: The uproar at Ephesus. Plaee: Ephesus. Demetrius caused a tumult; he declared their business was In danger of being brought into disre- pute because Pani and his companions had been preaching against Diana, the goddess of the Ephesia.ns; Paul's com- panions were seized and might have been killed had not the town clerk IX. Topic: The psalm of love, Place: Written at Ephesus.

X. Topic: The record of a holy life. Plaee: Miletus. Paul sent to Ephesus foe the elders of the church; he • ad- dressed them; he showed that his min- istry had been one of faithful service; that he had taught publicly and from house to house; he had preached re- pentance toward God and faith toward Jesus Christ. XL Tapia: Paul's shadowed pathway. Places: By ship- from Miletus to Ptole- mais; by land to Caesarea and Jerusa- lem. Paul and his company Iauded at Tyre; they found disciples and tarried' there seven days; Tani was urged not to go to Jerusalem; Agabus prophesied that the Jews would bind Paul and deliver him into the hands of the Gen- tiles, PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. I. The word studied. The Bereans were noted because they searched the scrip- tures. Prayerful study of the word of God brings the consciousness of the pres- ence of God. A man •who did not be- lieve in the,seeond coming of Christ and who had no real, conscious assurance of salvation was induced by his pastor to systematically and honestly investigate the subject by a personal study of the Bible. When next his pastor met him his face was aglow with light. He said, "The truth has made a new man of me. I have no doubt now of my acceptance with God nor of his coming again to reign," II. Paid counselling. "Prove all things" (Thess. 5:21). "Every promise of God is built on four pillars: God's holiness, goodness, truth and power," In every hour of difficulty, need or longing, let us search out a promise of God and prove it; then shall we esteem thee "words of his mouth more than our ne- cessary food" (Job 23:12), and "rejoice in his testimonies as much as in all rielwes" (Pea. 119;14), and be able to say, "There failed not ought of any good thing the Lord had spoken" (Josh. 21: 46). I11. •Christian love. Every virtue is but the expression of the divine love flowing through us. "Love suffereth long" Love is patient; waits; never gives up; never gives out. "Is kind," benevolent, tender. Love serves (I Cor. 9:19.22), "Envieth not;" is contented, generous. Love is a born heiress (1 Cor. 3.21, 23), which finds happiness, not in getting and saving, but in giving and serving. "Not puffed up;" love hides; cares more to be good than to be prais- ed. Knowledge puffs up; love builds up, denies self and lives for others (1 Cor. 8:13); does not stand out for her rights. One day I sent a little niece two satin badges; one for her and one for ber cousin. She said to her mother: . "The red is the prettier; I will give that to Roy, because he didn't have them sent to his house." She waived a right; she gained a privilege. "Not provoked;" sweet -tempered. Love restrains; bears and forbears; is never in a huff; never blue, nor dumpish, nor despondent. "Thinketh no evil;" guileless (Zech. 1: 10), Refuses to take evil on credit with- out positive proof. "Whatsoever things are lovely," we are bidden to "think on" (Phil. 4:8). IV'- Jesus magnified. "The name of the Lord Jesus was magnified" (Acts 19:17). The apostles loved the name of Jesus. They delighted to preach this name. Peter, knowing our Lord on earth, as the hunmble One exalted, speaks of him as Jesus Christ. Paul, seeing him in the third heaven as the exalted One who has been humbled, writes of him as Christ Jesus. His divine title of stepped in and quieted the mob. personal glory is Son of God; his human title of earthly glory is Son of man; his kingly title of Judaic glory is Son of David. He is called Christ, because he was anointed to be prophet, priest and king; Lord, because God has exalted his name above every name; Jesus; because he shall save the people. The personal name. Jesus, is the dearest of all, occur- ring seven hundred times in the New estament, Ir. Paul comforted. "The whole city was in confusion" (Acts 19:29). but Paul was calm. At Corinth he had been de- jected, discouraged and afraid, but the Lord cane to him in a vision by night and comforted him and the comfort re- mained. Nothing can hurt God's chil- dren without his knowledge and his will. Our worst enemies can only "kill the body, but after that have nothing more that they can do" (Luke 1214), .And God will miraculously interpose to save our lives, if it be for our good and his glory.—A, C.

The first thing is to give thtsomething juicy. Turnips, ,angels, sugar -beets, ensil- age, are all good.. We have tried all kinds of ensilage and roots, but a com- bination of the different :succulent feeds is beat. A preparation o. corn -en- silage, roots and straw will give you first-class results with a . pound of meal a day to start with. A. man who is go- ing to make a success of steer feeding must start them well at the beginning; must shove them right ahead and. keep there going; if he does not he is making a mistake. To give them the rightkind of a beginning ration he mast give them something extremely succulent, say ensilage or roots or rape. Rape will stand quite a bit offrost and so may be cut and fed quite late in the season. Roots improve with keeping. Ensilage does not materially change and may be fed even more advantageously later on, because roots lose in 'weight, although they improve in quality. Now get this succulent 'ration into them for the first month and unless you are catering lar the Christmas market, give them no meal the first month, just give this sue. culent ration and they will eat it free- ly, and you will be astonished at the gains they will make. I have seen steers make a hundred pounds in two weeks, <n - credible as that may seem. Quick gains and cheap gains arethe gains that will make the money for you, because there is a certain maintenance ration that you have got to feed and what you can ptr. auntie them to eat over vend abovethat is the feed that makes the gain. Start off with a Iittle .seal- Do not start off with cornmeal or gluten or wheat or barley or peas. Start in with something light. Mix up equal parts of oats, bran and barley. The steer's digestive organs are not in a condition to fully utilize a heavy meal; therefore, I say, start in with something light to get them going and gradually 'increase it until at the end of a couple of months, or say three months, they should be getting three or four pounds a day. We fed No. 2 frozen wheat to one bunch and we found that we were not making good gains, not as good as they were on gluten and bran, and we had to increase the quantity of frozen wheat very ma- terially. It does not seem to have the nutritive value that other grain has. It seems to be quite palatable, but not so valuable as a food. When we did in- crease it by a pound a day we got about as good results as we did from gluten and bran. A man who is feeding for about six months should never feed more than eight or nine pounds of meal a day, and that daily ration should be fed dur- ing the last month only. He should start in and gradually increase until he ends up the last month with that quan- tity • of meal, and that should be largely cornmeal or gluten or oil meal, or if feeding barley and oats or peas and oats add a small amount of oil meal to the ration during the last moth, and that will give you more satisfactory re- name. There is nothing neuite so good fini as ,a sh.

COW TesTIN Dominion Dept. of r 3ranch of the Dairy and G e Cor- missio In visiting members w testing associations, organized b e dairy di- vision, Ottawa, the inspe'. are sorne- tintes met with this state t bye those farmers who are inclined ' cop weigh- ing and sampling:. "1 lta tt got the time,' In eearcely any instance ,it this be considered correct. Evidence, from farm- ers the whole Dominionover shores cow testing to be one of best* tines -saving ind en of he et- Iast ' and Ods• a would organizations ever introduced. Why? Because it shows definitely that many Men have wasted precious time on cows that 'do not produce enough milk and fat to pay the coat of feed. Thus, the very. leen who say they have "no tines" to take up cow testing are the very men who unconsciously waste thousands of valuable hours. There is time, appar- ently, amongst the unthinking class of farmers for attending to thousands of profitless cows. With a herd of twenty unselected cows (out of which probably three are not making any profit) it would take the small total of twentry hours during the whole year, spread over three days eaeh month, to keep such simple records as would enable the owner to select with certainty the most economical producers. Why waste time year after year an wets that average about 14 lbs. of milk per day for seven menthe, when a few minutes per month. plus a little brain power, will materially assist in building up a profitable herd? C.F,w. TESTED COWS. Exhibition time will 'see some of the finest looking cows on the fair grounds that the admiring public could possibly wish to see. Sleek appearence, general thriftiness and show condition will be appraised, continuity to type will he judged, and point by point various char- acteristics will be valued. Excellent as they may be, these cows on exhibition must submit to a further examination before the ordinary patron is prepared to award them first place in his estima- tion. He will ask, and rightly so, can this cow give a large yield of milk and butterfat at a low cost? He cannot af- ford to accept just a two days' high re- cord; he needs a cow that will attend strictly to business, the business of making money for him, three hundred days in the year. The one vital point for hiin to ascertain is, does it pay ins to keep this cow, is her profit sufficient ly large? To this end he keeps records of each individual cow in the herd; re• cords of feed consumed. and milk and fat produced, so that no doubt may lurk in his mind as to each cow's capacity. Cow testing associations make this as easy as possible at a minimum expense. The dairy division, Ottawa, beats the oost of testing. and supplies blank forms free. Several hundred cows in July had over 850 lbs. milk and 28 lbs. fat to their credit. Man+ individual records total 5,000 Ibs. milk this season, while a few choice specimens are already up to 7,000 and 8,000 lbs. milk, and 280 lbs. fat, C. F. W. FARM SCHOOLS IN BAVARIA. Travelling Teachers Who Form Clubs and Deliver Lectures. "In order to promote agricultural interest the kingdom of Bavaria has established agricultural schools in al- most every town," said Franz J. Hofa.uer, of Munich, Germany. "These schools are in charge of teachers who in addition to an acad- emic education must be versed in bot- any, otany, geology, chemistry, physics, zoo- logy and natural history. At a time when nothing is doing in the fields, from November to March, these schools are open, and the peasants for a nominal fee can attend courses on cultivation and fertilization of the soil, the proper rotation of crops on the same land, the best resources for good seeds, irrigation and the raising of stook. They are made acquainted. with improvements and new inven- tions in agricultural implements, the adoption of which can be recommend- ed. They ars taught the rudiments of bookkeeping and other commercial knowledge essential for the up to date farmer. `In the spring after these farmers have returned to their work in the fields it becomes the duty of the teachers who instructed then during the winter to travel from county to county and to act as advisers to the farmers. Much good results from the travels of these teachers, By prac- tioal suggestion to the farmers they induce thein to make valuable im- provements in the cultivation of their farms. "The wandering teacher helps to form cooperative clubs for the joint interests of a number of farmers in one district. From time to time the teacher has to lecture in these clubs on any subject which might prove of interest to the members, These visits and lectures to the different districts are entirely free to the people, since the States assumes all expenses, There is probably no other country the world in which so much is one by the State for its rural in- abitants as is the ease in Bavaria, Other German States have these agris. ) ultural schools, but their teachers are not sent in such a practical way direct to the places where they can do the most good, as is done in Ba{ varix. The results of this commend, able care have been very gratifying," —From the Washington herald. 4.4 AGE LIMIT. (Rochester Herald.) The wire plant of the United States Steel corporation at Fair Haven, Conn., has withdrawn the ban against the em- ployment of men over 45 years of age, on account of the scarcity of help. An ege, limit of that kind is criminal fool. ishness, TORONTO MARKETS. ' FARMERS' MARKET. Ifarmers' Day at the Exhibition ac- counted for the dulness around St. Law- rence Market this morning.
