We do not always see the full significance of events when they hap- pen. We may be overvrhelmed by some factor in the expevienc, of the hour so that we fail to see -he forces which have occasioned it or the direction in which it is leading us.

There can be no doubt. that was the case with the people of Judah and Jerusalem. When the blow £d1 and the nation was torn away from its loved centre in Jerusalm, and carried to a far foreign land it looked like a day of unrelieved disaster, But, view- ed in the light of history and seen in its perspective, it is more readily understood and its educative and re- thve element more easily recog- Farm Notes • SpreattIng Farm Manure The use of a manure spreader as compared with hand wark was in- cluded in the study of the cost -ofpro- ducing ri ducing farm crops carried -on b.I Dontinioix Field Ilnsbandnuan and bis assistants of the Field liusbcundry Division of the Experimental Farms. When loads were hauled an average distance of 82 rods one man and a one-horse waggon disposed of 101- i tons in a day. One man with two horses put out 12.43 tons, while two men with two horses loaded and spread on the held 15.62 tons. With the manure spreader one man with two horses was able to handle 15.23 tons, while when three horses were used on the spreader 21.03 tons were put out. These results are contained in Bulletin No. 115 of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa which covers studies extending over several years into the cost of producing farm crops in Eastern Canada. Eradication of Couch Grass It has been found by an experiment conducted by the Field Husbandry Division of the Experimental Farms that couch grass plants will be great- ly weakened if the plant is Rept clip- ped back to the surface of the ground of ttvo months.

If this confusion of thought has affected unfavorably the education of our youth—on whom our whole fu- ture welfare so directly depends --all other counts which can be brought against it may be regarded as of minor importance. But it does work great mischief in many other ways. It leads to a widespread preference for nen of -ordinary or of inferior intelli- gence for the conduct of public -and. private—affairs. Large numbers„ of sub men are to be found in Parlia- ment, on municipal and county coun- cils, on the governing bodies of Vari- ous public institution and on nes all public committees.

In the Eastern Provines, Manitoba, parts of Alberta and British Columbia, the Illustration Stations operated by the Department of Agriculture at Ot- tawa are becoming centres of live stock improvement. At these sta- tions fine dairy herds are being built up and Rocks and herds of very good sheep and hogs are being established. The majority of the station operators are now using pure-bred sires. They are keeping individual milk records and making butter fat determinations itt order to learn the production of each cow. In his report for last year the Chief Supervisor of the Illustra- tion Stations shows that the year's Production of milk and butter fat dhf- fers greatly on the different Station farms while the average production of fat itt the Station herds varied from 403 to 121 pounds—a cow was found that yielded only 74 pounds of butter- fat.
