' John Smith, a dairy farir er, p.:t this advertisement in his loco1 farm pettier, when he had ten heavy milking Iiol- FOR SALE -Ten cows. Prices reaeon- able. JOHN SMITH, , Ont. s because of a r off be ca stela grades to' turn shortage of feed; Then he suit back and waited heteis. 0 'y a small percentage .of the -farmers. who read that advertisement, and were on the rnarl et to buys answered it, Those who did answer, asked a 'number of questions. How old were the caws, i what breed what price, what were the milk reeords? Smith had to answem these fetters and wait again for replies, only to find that <a -few wanted Jerseys, others waisted fresh cows, others wanted purelzreds, and still others wanted- ehea'per cows. In the meantime his feed got short, concentrates kept climbing in price, and he wanted to sell the cows, des- I , perately. Finally he sacrificed the ten head at about half their true value to the neighbors and the local shipper. These buyers took the cows because they knew the stock, and knowing Smith's financial embarrassment, they could drive a sharp bargain. Smith. decided that advertising did not pay.' Certainly it did not pay John Smith. Tom Jones put this advertisement in his local farm paper: TEN heavy producing grade Holstein cows, 5 years old. Price $100. each. Fresh in September. Forced to sell on account of feed shortage. TOM JONES, In the return mail Jones had not only answers but also offers irom fermate who wanted just what the advertisement offered, Holstein grade cocas soon to freshen, five years toad, and were wilding to pay about $100 apiece for them. He sold all his stock within a few days, easily, and et his owm price. His weld -planned adver- tisement required only a few letters direct to real buyers., and later a few post cards to others, saying that the cows were sold, Jones --probably figured it out like this: "I will put in my advertisement ell the facts I should want to know in buying -wage, condition. breed, quality, production, price, and reason for sell- ing." The advertiseent answered all of these questions. He decided it would sre'.4 cows to him -therefore, it mot seal cows to other farmers. too. The secoiZd advertisement was more than twice as Iong as thetfirst and. coat mere than twice as much, but brought resuI!ts where the incomplete adveatisemenrt failed. The clavesielted advertising columns of good`'farm papers offer good mar- kets to tamers., but there are several things to remember when writing the in \ n' a.ivertisement. Men who make a business of preparing cl•assifie,l aaiver- tisements check them by a regular set cf questic":•;,. Here are some +of the tests wlch they apply: "Does the ad- vertisement g.. t< complete facts; is it clear, concise, truthful, interesting, logical, convincing, correctly spelled, and punctuated? Is the address cor- rect and complete? These few important little things will help farmers to write result -get- ting advertisements. If it pays to ad- vertise, and it does; then it pays to advertise right. Good Tools Are Profitable. It may bo desirable to keep the old tool :vorking, jest as long as possible, but it is not necessarily always the most profita.t ie :thing to do. it must be remembore.l taut machines are con- tinually being improved and the time may came before the machine is worn out when it shound be discarded be- came of o'beolcsocne. Obsolescence as a big word, hat it means a lot. A machine is obsolete when the money one loses through its use would pay for a new machine of improved type, which would do the work faster, better, more economical- ly. There is certainly such a thing aj keeping a machine too long. The self= rake reaper had to give way to the modern binder. The modern corn planter dieplaae3 the old hand -oper- ated type. The process of displace- ment is coiitinuaily going on. The modern farmer requires the best and most up-to-date tools and equipment. He must of necessity know the cost of production in order to know whether his business is profit- able or not. The use of labor-saving equipment is the best insurance of profits. The man with the hoe, the scythe and the flail has passed, and the wheels of progress carry the farm- er of to -day on a good road to sure profit and pleasure in his business. The Farm Dumping Place. Altogethertoo many farmers are using their immediate surroundings around the house and barn as a grave- yard for their old machinery, wagons, etc.,. gathered there for years, to- gether, with other useless rubbish, making an otherwise naturally 'good- looking place forlorn looking to them- selves as wela as to passersby. If one in bound to have such a dumping granted, why not have it is an out -of- the -way place and keep the yard clean and attractive? This can also be ap- plied to the right-of-way along the read. Keep the -weeds and rubbish away from the right-of-way and make it book clean and nice. One can al- ways teal what kind of a man rims the farm when he seee the barnyard and roadside. and never make a mise take in the estimate. afrr While it is natural for cows to freshen in the spring it cannot be said to be most profitable, for in the flush time we always find a lower price, while farrni work is then most press- ing. More than that, a cow will pro- duce from fifteen to twenty-five per cent. more by freshening in the fall. Espeei'al]y is this true if she is given good care through the winter. The cow waning fresh in the fall will be a profitable milker during the season ef the year •w'hen dairy products sell at the best price. She will go on grass in the earl', spring and will again be flushed to a profitable production for April, May and June. When pastures become dry and short and the flies most troublesome, she will be dry. Dairy products are high compared with other farm. produee, and the price will undoubtedly continue goad until next June, To get the greatest return from the cows they Should 'have good housing and care during the reinter menth.s. It will well lay any cow keeper to provide modern equipment for his stock. Not only wild hot sieve in time and labor, but through giving better comfort to his annuals, their production will ;be increased. The dairy cow has proven the farm- er's best friend during these trying times. It never before wags so neces- sary to use good cows, give then good care in modern stables, and take ad- vantage, of every opportunity to in- crease their production. Valuable luable Ex erimennts With Beef aid Dairy Cattle. Although a pure-bred herd of Guereacys, repitsenting the dairy, and a pure-let:el herd of Shortborris, repiteenting tee beef breeds:, were only established on the Dominion Ex- perimental F'aini - at ?+Tappan, Nova Seoti'a, early ire the year 1920, some noteworthy facts regarding them rare forthcrrering in an interim report of the Super e:idea$ covering the year ending March 31, 1921.

In the first three months of the year, 14 of the steers fed on roots and fair clover hay gained in weight a total of 2,703 lbs., and 12 of the steers fed on ensilage and marsh hay gained 1,918 lbs. The same meal mixture was given to both lots and, in addition, each steer con- sumed 14 lbs. of hay per day. De- tails furnished regarding four ef the Guernseys are of special interest, Of these, ene cow in her full lactation of 671 days yielded 15,320 ,lbs. of milk, with 967.15 lbs. of fat and a percent- age of 6.36, the produce of butter be- ing 1,137.82 lbs. and the profit real- ized over.' cost of feed 8427.01. The other three yielded an average each orf 7.644 lbs. of milk, and a percentage in fat of 5.7 in 862 days, at an aver- age Bost for feed of $175:30, the aver- age profit per cove being $182.8. Particulars are also given in the report of nine years' experiments in grading up dairy cattle, the? object be- ing to show the 'value of using pure- bred sires of good producing milk qualities on the average dairy cow. Two breeds were used for this pur- pose, Ayrahires and Holsteins. Full particulars are given in the report referred to.

Thiegras a':to a gathering iep of the strands of, ce ol;erative tinily for all' Ontario, f^•r to this gathering eame delegates with grcetinga, full of the inspiration of achievement, from the four assemblies preeeding it, accounts of which have already been given in these colurnns, ilere, too, to the seat of the Pro rincial Legislature, wane the delega- tions ele ga-tions sent by their sister workers, t confer with the heads of the various 'Government departments, first and foremostgwhom ameng amo� stand the Min- ister of Agrieu+lture and the Superin-' tenclent of Institutes. With these sane and sympathetic leaders, plans were discussed for forward work during the coming year, Then, there was the Convention' itself, with its many-sided intreats,' The keynote of the proceedings was• happily struck by Lady Falconer, when in her address of welcome, she emphasized three things; First, that they so magnify the art of science of home -making that it would stand out as offering the most liberal education and greatest career open to women. Second, to bring back the joy in work which was one of the greatest factors' in life. Third, to learn and inculcate that self-discipline which leads to self and hence a111 -mastery. The retiring president, Mrs. Todd, in replying, stressed the desirability of unity among the provinces, and of a great national ideal. In the main, the aims were the same at this fifth Convention as at the first, -Health, Education, Recreation, Girls' Work and Interests, Beautification of Home and Community. The trinity of effective co-operation as the Ontario Women's Institutes know it, namely, the Institute, the College, the Depart- ment of State, was very apparent all through the deliberations. University Extension Service. "There is a growing desire for more edueation.," said Mr. W. J. Dunlop, Director of the Extension Service of Toronto University, "on the part of adults for themselves, as well as for the children, and people are begin- ning to realize that the University is here to serve She proving" He then outlined some of the extension work which rural Ontario might bring to her own doors - Con..spondence Courses for Teachers or other stu- I dents, Night Scheele, which were be- • ing organized so that the Arta Course night be taken extramurally, and ser - i ies of lectures to working men on such subjects as Literature, History, Psychology, Economics. The demand for cultural training, in addition to technical training, was a narked fee - 1 ture in the Farmers' Course of two weeks, held at the University last win- ' ter. Two hundred and seventy-nine cane from the counties of Ontario far two weeks of combinedLholiday and mental improvement, among them be- ing three grandmothers, two grand- fathers, some boys and girls in their teens, and a large number of young people, ranging in age from twenty to thirty. This course will be repeat- ed this winter from February 6th to the 18th. Other centres were organizing classes locally, and bringing the lec- turers out to theta. Streetsvilie, Brampton and Cheltenham were each doing this. Better Schools. Miss K. F. 'MacIntosh, Convenor of the Standing Committee on Education, drew attention to the work the Insti- tutes were doing and could do, in get- ting and retaining better teachers, establishing hot lunches, supervising plays. helping the teacher to find a eonfortable boarding palace, and in securing the travelling eellege, or de- monstration short courses, through the Institutes Branch of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. Dr. Marty, Inspector of Schools for Toronto, urged the broad education of the country child for all round human living, and to this end commended. Consolidated Schools, whence not only might the children havo the advan- tages of special teachers, but where the whole community Iife might cen- tre educationally and recreationally during the evenings. Libraries, Music and Story Telling. Miss Coatsworth, of the Toronto Conservatory of Music, most delight- fully led the community singing, and in speaking on Music for Country Homes and Communities, said, "All children are musical. and if they are put to sleep to the sound of sweet music, }sear fine and dignified music in Sunday School, sing glees and melo- dies from the best composers in day school, hear the best music on me- chanical instruments in the homes, they would later want to study music fetethemselves, and, in some cases, at least, create it," "It is as unsafe to let the children choes'e their own books as to choose their own food," said Miss Lilion Smith, head of the Children's Departo melt of the T o anto Public Library, r3 a o a talk on "Hew-to Make the Best Use of the Library," which was follow- ed by a demonstration in story telling --which- made the whole Convention feel like fascinated "five -year-olds for a magical quarter of an hour, "Re- place the Alger books and vapid love stories with the classics in myth and legend and fable -King Arthur, Gul- liver, Robinson Crusoe, Anderson; Grinun, Aesop, the Jungle Books, Stevenson's work and the stories of goad novels, so that when he is old enough the child will unconsciously demand the best himself," she ad- vised. The Superintendent "has a way with him," and ene result of this was that a large group of girls, representing the Girls' Work, in both Junior and Senior Institutes, were inveigled to the platform, and, before they or any- body, quite realized what was happen- ing, found themselves dashing oft one - minute speeches to an ,audience of five or six hundred, much to the delight of the seniors. Later, the girls organ- ized a Standing Committee for Girls? Work for the coming year in Central Ontario. Recreation. "Do not let recreation become com- mercialized," said Dr. Annie Ross, Director of Physical Education at Macdonald Institute, Guelph. "It is better to get into the game than to be spectators. Recreation was good for the health, a preparation for life, a mental stimulant, and an art. The child at first wants every toy he sees for himself. This spirit, if undirected, will develop an adult who wants the best of everything for himself. The; next tendency, to pray house and store and' school, tante from the desire to imitate, and might be developed fur -I ther in dramatics. Then came the in-' stinet to compete, the age of running. races, wrestling. fishing, and trapping. This instinct might be used to develop in some pupils greater effort in study. Later, the social instinct developed, the age of team play, of co-operation of hand and brain, of accepting both victory and defeat with a good spirit, the spirit of good temper and fair play and an abiding by the rules." Health. The Convention rose to its feet, to pay tribute to the work she had done for women, and is doing for the whole world, when Mrs. Pankhurst appeared on the platform. She spoke on the seriousness of the results of venereal, disease, especially to the innocent vic-i tiros who suffer for the sins of their fathers. Women were manufacturing life and they wanted security in their occupation. They should teach their children a right attitude to life, create a right social environment for young people, and educate public opinion to the knowledge that if there were no social evils there would be no venereal disease. Dr. Margaret Patterson spoke on books to be used in teaching the truth about life to young people, and Dr. MacMurchy on the work of the Dominion Department of Health. Miss Brodie, of the Department of Agriculture, gave an inspiring and very practical talk on Business Meth- ods, and Miss Cruikshank, Director of M.acdonaid Institute, brought greet- ings frons the college, and reminded the Institutes of the Packet Loan Lib - vary Service in connection with Mas- ! sie Library, O.A.C., Guelph, for any member wanting help in preparing a paper. An entertaining feature of the Con- vention was "Foot Follies," a humor- ous and instructive filet showing how we use and abuse our feet, especially in the way we clothe them.

"He attracted the attention of Solo- mon, who promoted him to the posi- tion of overseer of the forced labor in the country ofEphraim.A.ccording to en intimation in the Greek version, he fortified his native place of Zereda, and enlisted chariots in his service. This almost ostentatious indication of en intention to revolt aroused the vigilance of Solomon, and. Jeroboam was obliged to flee to Egypt" (II. P. Smith). From. Egypt he watched de- eelopments .in Israel, and pe*eeiv]ng that the accession of a new king might -offer the chance of heading a revolt to his own advantage, he hur- ried back to Palestine. All the people; that is, representatives of the tribie who had come to Shechem, .a central point, to confer with the new king before they recognized his elaims to the kingship. Not accepting as yet the hereditary right of David's dynasty to rule, they laid down certain condi- tions before they would reeognize Rehoboam's sovereignty: He must re- lieve the people of the desportie type of government whieh Solomon had imposed upon them. (See v. 4.) Re- hoboam had demanded three days to think over their demand's, v. 5. V. 13. Forsook the old men's conn- sel. See v. 7. The old hien, who had piobabiy been Solemn's advisers, counselled a shrewd moderation. Let the king appear to indulge the people and serve them, then having gained their confidence, ho may afterwards do with them as he pleased. V. 14. The counsel of the young men. Unable to appreciate the sturdy independence of the tribes, they thought that Rehoboam should be severe with them from the outset. They considered that a people were merely the slaves of their monarch. Doubtle.s these young men had been Rehoboa,m's boon companions and as such had: a strong influence over him. My father; Solomon.

The golden calves were prob- ably ornaments which were used in the idolatrous Armes of the Canaan- ite and were appropriated by Jeno- boam for the worship of Jehovah. in setting them up he was attempting to make the worship at his element shrines so attractive that the people would net want to go to Jerusalem to sacrifice.

"Anything which • the Institutes could do to bring greatereeffieieney to the home or lighten the burdens of the mothers would receive the support of the Government. The financial prob- lems of this country were very great, but all our work would be of little avail did we not bring sunshine to the homes." His interest was very great in the eountry hones. He had visited remote sections of Old Ontario and parts of New Ontario and had heard from settlers' wives something of the benefits they were getting through the Institutes.
