It is butte natural and necessary' for men to pray. in some form the im- pulse times univoreal expression. It is a natural function of tuo life, and not an aitificial addition. Coleridge says, "The act of praying is the very highest energy of e larch the human mind is caaablea I. Why we should prey. God com- mands it. Both the Old Testament and the New abound in injunctions and examples. It is enough to know the requirement, and obedience (Mould never becopao a matter of mere im- pulse. The spirit and. practice of Prayer are inseparable from the com- mencement and tontinuaneek of the Christian life, We enter both the kingdom of grace and the kingdom of glory through the portals of prayer, It should become the habit of the life, and not the e,xceetional• practice in emergencies or peens, Jesus was all lie taught. The great truths he uttered found in himself their highest exprese sion. By precept' and example he taught the duty and privilege of prayer and himself eived the truest prayer life. He framed the peerless Detition which can never be surpassed andevill never be superceded. He. declared that "men ought always to pray." eall the great events of his perm:tat life and public minietry are vitally associated with prayer. Because ot man'a dependence, he should pray. God Is always self- sufficient; the creeture can never be. From archangel to insect, all are 1e - pendent pensioners on divine bounty; and spheres and sparrows are alike objects of attenticm. Prayer is the language of deperadence, and an ack- nowledgment Of need., It may properly embrace the needs of soul and body, et mind or estate. No Interest of our human lives is Leo. 'small to awaken divine regard. II. How we should pray. In the name of Jesus. Through him is the only way of approach to God. "What- sover ye shall ask in my name." Heaven knows no•other argument, and recognizes no other petition. Apart from his interceesions, prayer is impos- sible, and the,. effort unavailing. Pray earnestly; Indifference is insincerity. -Elias "prayed earnestly that it might not rain," and the petition locked the heavens. It is the "fervent" prayer, hot with intense desire, that "availeth much." Earnestness is always propor- tioned to the strength of desire. It gave persistency to Jacob's prayer at Jabbok, and he conque,rea himself in prevailing, with his angel antagonist. Pray in faith, Goct challenges our utmost cohfidence, axle demands that supreme honor be placed on his word. "He that cometh to God must aelieve.a The promises are only to faith; and all the, resources of Deity are pledged for their fulfihuent (James 1.; 6). Un- . belief was the first transgression cie human history. III, The results of prayer. "More things are 'wrought by prayer than this world dreams of:" Its possibilities are meagureless, and extend to all realms. It sets in motion infinite eh - orgies. Everything embraced in the will of God may be obtained thereby. Temporal blessings and spiritual bone; factions are alike assured to believing prayer. This "golden key" unlocks every treasure room of the infinite storehouse." W. H. C. THIRTEEN DIE EN TWO MISHAPS • Two Montreal Munitions Plants Rard Hit. Collapse Killed Eight, Live • Wire Five.

Weeds aro beginning to shoW up in many of the grain nettle. It will be time well spent if the farmer will take time to go through the tield and- pnU them out. The value of a crop is greatly less- ened both in quality and quantity by the presence of bad weeds in it, such as thistles and mustard, etc. The grain is soon choked out and eloesn't get a chance to stool. Bladder Campion is now in bloom, and can easily be seen in the spring grains. Go the:legit your oats and (hop off all odd' plants well below the crown. It is a hard plant to eradicate when it has became established, be- cause of its deep root stalk. The Presence of Dladder Campion seed in Menu) and clover seed will greatly re- duce its quality and, consequently, tho teenier will be cut in price when he sells it. Fields *hero mustard has got a start are quite yellow now. Many farmers who have sprayed with' iron- suipeate aro well satisfied with the results obtained. It must, however, be done before any seed Pas ftl'ul. Spray as soon as bloom appears. The grass is still juicy and all hinds of stock are doing well. How- ever, hotter weather is corning. By the end of July many fields will be getting bare and dry. What prepara- tion have you made for your stock in late summer? The annual pasture sown in spring is now quite ready to receive the stock Do not let it get too high, for Who n it gets too rank the cattle do not like it so well. • Grass is much higher in protein than mature hay. It it is supplement- ed with silage, it forms almost a bal- anced ration, and if mlich cows are fed this way a great sevingof grain will result. Cows in heavy milk should not be left to subsist on grass alone. It is too watery in nature and a cow giving a large flow of milk has to work too hard and to long to secure enough food to maintain her body, and at the -same time keep up, her flow of Especially when the pasture .com- mences to fail in July and August will the need of concentrates be felt. For milch cows a mixture made up of bran and oileake will help wonder- fully in keeping the flow of milk up as it was in June. Along with congentrates 4n late summer, an annual pasture crop should be available, such as a mixture of one bushel each of barley, wheat and oats . per acre. To this is added about 8 pounds of red clover. A pasture 'like this will be ready six weeks after sowing, and will last, till early fall. At Guelph seventy-five head of cattle pastured mast of the' sum- mer on sixty-six acres, 'pasture, twen- ty-eight of which was oats, barley and wheat, b,nd the remainder grass sod. The red clover sown is not injured by the cattle pasturing, and unless it is pastured .bare in late fall, will come out well the following spring and give a good stand of hay. Calves under six months kept in- side should get green cut feed. If this is not possible, allow them to run out at night. They should be kept inside in daytime, however, as the flies and the heat of the sun are extremely hard on them. Stack bulls which ca,nnc,t be trust- ed to run in the open field should have a paddock to run in. They should be given green feed, such as clover or alfalfa, along with a certain amount of grain mixture. It is important to have hog pastirre for the young pigs and also the sewer It would be a good plan to sow an acre or so for them before the middle 01 the month, About four Dom% per acre is sufficient either broadcast or in rows. 4.* Young pigs kept inside relish .green food as well as others stock, and it in. cideutally reduces the blil for con- centrates fed, which is a factor no producer of pork Can afford to ig- nore, even at the Price of bacon at the present time. Rape ,eown before July lath will al- so he very valuable, as pasture for the youag lambs when, weaned in the latter part of August. The ewes also vial' be benefited if rape pasture be given them. They need a good pasture to condition them after sucking their lambs. Ewes in a good thrifty, gaining condition in fall breed better, and tend to pro- duce More lambs the following year. So don't neglect their fall paste The corn is up now and has gerinin- ated well. The ,erop yield in the fall" depends • on its care during July. If it is not cultivated every week or ten days, the soil is apt to dry out un- less plenty of rain. collies. Don't give the weeds any chance to ;start and then they won't bother when the corn gets a "little higher. After the last cultivation, when it is getting too high to cultivate ferther, some men sow rape between the rows. It makes pasture in the fall after the corn. is cut. • At gdelph experiments have been parried On to see if it would pay to feed graie in a creep, to sucking lambs 'on grass. They have had very favor- able tesults. The lambs were drop- ped ire the latter part of April, and have been receiving a mixture of 209 pounds oats, 200 pounds bran and 50 potincle calumet About 1-4 pound per day was given per lamb. In thirty days one lanes gained 20 pounds; another 14pounds, and another 19 pounds. This looks like a paying proposition, and as though it would work out all right, as a general practice s The watering places for stock will he nearly dried up soon. Inthose which have not, the water, if stag- becames filthy, and cattle, es- necially milch cows, should not be forced to drink it. Try to provide the Cow with all the water she naeds. Milk is a good price, and it's your only chance to water the milk and get away with it. Don't forget to salt the cattle ind colts that are on pasture in the back fields. The sheep need it just as badly alsa. If it is done regularly they will come when called, and in this way you can cotant them and see thaa every- thing is all tight. • Don't forget the hens and chickens, saith summer ego at the .present price, a little attention will be amply. repaid. Cull out the non -layers: The season of high -production is over, and it doesn't pay to keep ails, star board- ers. At the 0. A. College a young Barred Rock pullet hatched about the first of February hese already laid eleved eggs. She began to lay when about 122 days old. She is doing her bit all right. She did not get any better treat- ment . than the rest of the flock, either. High laying hens, like poets, "are born, not made," but at the same time you haveto give them a decent chance to make good. This consists of pro- per and regular feeding, combined with god housing and surroundings. - The fruianeen le general feel that they have suffered badly owing to the &tillage done to different fruits by the 4ntense cold last winter. Many apple orchards have been badly winter kill- ed, sone varieties, as Baldwins, being' irijutell., the worst. Two years of poor apple crops is discouraging many growers, and they becoming s) prevalent that the Itt. are letting their orchards die. This is ture of the apple crop is being ser- iously threatened, sand before IllanY years a shortage is hound to come, P. S. -He is wise who puts in a good °mimed now and looks after it. Suit- aliie varieties and proper *cultivation are two of the mairt points. The excessive winter killing during the past winter was largely owing to the planting of unsuitable varieties and to tao late cultivation in summer. Apple orchards cultivated after June 15th do not get sufficient time to harden their wood, coneeghently they are apt to kill back during winter. If a cover cropeis desired to put it in by June 15the then do not cut* vate again till the ground cools in the fall, The practice of putting in potatoes or tomatoes between rows, and cultivating late, is often disas- trous to the fruit trees, It would even do better te leave the ground bare, than to work it up late, thus forcing late growth. Every year seemta bring some new pest. This year it is the tussock moth which is defoliating the shade trees. Much spraying was done a week ago with arsenate -of lead poison. The strawberries and raspberries suffered heavily last winter. Profes- sor Crow states that fully 60 to 80 per cent. of the strawberries were winter killed. As a result; Canadian berries will not be very cheap this Year. Peach growers say that they will datain about a 20 per cent. crop this year, and for all fruits in general the crop is oily light to medium. The 'bright; spot, however, is the spring gardena. Market gardeners and those with backyartl lots in use, should- get good reedits. The fine growing weather ef late will surely bring .joy to the heart of the novice. He will swell his chest and say "I am some gardener, all eight." If you want good, clean seed grain for next year, it will pay you to pick out an acre or se, .and pull out the weeds and any smut stales which may be present. It some system such as this is not followed, it is bard ta im- prove the quality of, your seed grain. Experiments in roats seed, conduct- ed all °vet the Daminion last year, showed most concliisively that home- grown seed produces at least as good, or even better, crops than commercial seed. Under these circumstances, it will do well to produce your own seed, as the supply may still be short next spring. The roots to be used for seed production next year should be selected fram your crops this fall and handled in a special way. Farmers who find it impossible to get all their hay harvested in proffer time, might let tinrethy tand for seed purposes, provided it is free from weeds. Allow the seed to mature, then cut with Use binder, stook and handle like grain. Some farmers are eveii yet using grain binders without any sheaf car- rier on them. At the present time, with labor so scarce, it is folly to be with- out one, and as those who have used them well knoav, they ease a great deal of time and running for the man who is stooking. If you haven't one on your binder, it will pay to see about it at once. Watch tho pullets for the early lay- ers. The one that lays soonest is the high producer. Catch her and put a leg band on her, so that she will be known in the ,fall. If this is not done she may be killed, as she may . be moulting then. Do 't neglect good drinking water for thb chickens. If forced to drink from pools around the barnyard they are apt to contract disease. -The Canadian Countryman. SLACKER ROUND -U?. , Wild Times in Big Chicago • Drive.
