It can easily be Ione by blowing smoke into the upers at the top to drive most of he bees down. As the cover is lift ed, the bees above the cover may be rushed off with a large feather com a turkety’s wing. After most f the bees have been driven down, he super should be lifted at one nd, and the bees on the bottom rushed off quickly before any may eturn.

This parastic, plant is one ot tne most serious menaces to clover ‘ because of th© fact’ that it is almost impossible to separate dodder from clover seed, an where doddex* goes to seed in a clover field some spread is inevitable. The clovex* dodder is a delicate vine-like plant, which starts with a very fine green shoot, hard to de tect, and which attaches itself to the stem of the growing plant, fin ally breaking away from its own root and living on the clover. Any badly infested field should be plowed under and planted to a ■ hoed or grain crop for a sufficient • length of time to completely eradi- ; cate any accumulation of dodder which may have taken place in the soil. Where a slight infestation of noticed patches containing dodder can be cut and used for fodder be fore the field is ripe. In -view of the fact that all clovex* seed fox* ex port must be absolutely free from dodder seed>the only safe procedure for the seed grower is to make at the outset that the seed he is absolutely free from clovei* der.

As in th© church <of Christ < today “there are differences ot ad ministrations, but the same Lord” and the Holy Spirit gives to on© Christian special wisdom, to another special knowledge, to another spec ial faith, ‘‘and God hath set some in the Church, first apostles, sec ondarily prophets, thirdly teachers,” so in Israel there were different ap pointments for special tasks. We can look to God confidently for His personal guidance in our own today, and happy are we if w© and obey. And now th© strange thing pens. Moses says to Mobab, his brother-in-law, who was a Midian- ite and to whom this whole regioxx was familiar: “We are journeying unto the place of -which the Lord said, I will give it you* come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord hath spoken good con cerning Israel.” Hobab declined to go, saying: “I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred,” But Moses urged him, fairly pleaded for- him to stay with them, “forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to en camp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.” God had pledged Hinxself to guide Israel safely through the ..wilder ness'. WJas God’s! guidance1' good enough, safe enough? We would have expected’ Moses to count it so, but even Moses slipped once in a while. He actually sought the help otf Hobab, son of a priest of Midian; and the Midianites were a mixed people, descendants of th© sinful marriage of Abraham (when his faith in God failed), and the Egy ptian woman, Haggar, a people who became Israel’s deadly enemies and whose destruction God’ directed at the hand of Moses and Israel just before Israel entered Canaan. Borne time before this, Hobab’s father had given Moses worldly wise advice as to “organizing” an order of government for Israel, which Moses mistakenly accepted and which God later set, aside. We are not told whether Hobab went with Moses and Israel or not. But the record goes, on, immediate ly to tell us that “th© cloud of the Lord was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.” And the arik of the covenant of the Lord, a perfect Old Testament. type of Christ, went before them, evidently under the guiadnee of the pilla’i* of cloud and of fir©. The lesson, ends with this impressive word: ’“And it came to pass when the ark set for ward, that Moses said, ‘Rise up, Lord, and let thine enemies be scat tered; and let them that flee before Thee.’ And rested, he said, ‘Return, unto the many thousands Canada Js the pioneer in fish culture on this continent. The first fry hatched from, artificially fertilized eggs in Canada were produced in 1858 and fish culture was established as a Dominion Government service in 1867, Britishers are earing Canadian eggs this year with their break fast bacon. Estimates for 1931 place a, figure of 20,000 cases, each of 30 dozen eggs, for export to Great Britain. Last year it was only 6,500 cases. The fur trade is still one of Canada’s big assets. In 1667 furs' to the value cf 550,000 francs were ©Xported to France. Last year their value was placed at $17,- 187,399, mostly to Great Britain and the United States. Grain traffic handled by the Canadian Pacific for October last shows a considerable increase over that carried for October, 1930.

God had provided for ©very need of the Israelites as they started up on theii* adventurous and perilous journey from Egypt to 'Canaan, the Promised Land. Had they trusted God continually they might . have made the journey in a -short time— perhaps .in a few months. Because of their unbelief and their resulting rebellon against God, repeatedly, ex pressed, He kept them in the’ir wil derness wanderings for forty years. Men sometimes asik why there is so much suffering and disaster in the world. They blame God for this But God would gladly have it other wise; it is not He who is responsible but man, when they turn away from Him, and do their own will instead, of. His. Part -of God’s provision for the Israelites’ journey is described at length in the latter part of the chap ter ‘preceding this lesson (Number 9). There was the pillar of cloud and of fire, a valuable sign of His personal presence- and an infallible guide for zfheir journeyings. Back in Exodus- 40 we read that “the glory of the Lord filled the taber nacle,” when it had been macle and set up according to^ God’s explicit directions, and “the cloud abode thex'eon.”' In Numbers 9 we are told that this cloud 'above the. tab ernacle had “the appearance of fire at night,” and that God plainly tolcl Israel that when the cloud remain ed upon the tabernacle they were to remain where they were; when it was taken up and moved forward they were to journej? and follow it. “Ox* whether it were,two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, re maining thereon, the children of Is rael abode in their tents, and jour neyed not; but when it was-. taken up, they journeyed.'* Could anything be y^aixyr, easier to understand" and follow? Did Is- ■real need to Tear that she might get lost in the wilderness with such a Guide? But the lesson lias a surprise for us. The time had come to move: away from Sinai. So “the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of testimony,” Israel followed it, .“and the cToud rested in th© wildnerness of Paran,'” The record tells us of the oi’derly way in which the great host of Israelite’s moved, “according to the commandment 6f i)he Lord by the hand of IMoses.” They took their places tribe by tribe, and over each tribe was a man specially ap pointed to thfe responsibility. The naxnes of these men are given, and we may be sure that there* was a special yeason for th^ appointment. will hate Thee when it O Lord*; of Israel.5 slats’ diary Friday—A ole trend of Ant Emys was here at are house today and she was telling Ams . , Emy and Ma that her husband went and died on her about six v months ago. and Ant Emy ast her was he in Comfable 'Circum stances when he died and she re plied and sed No he seamed to right .smart a round the b lib or hod hart.
