Whilet, for instance, wheat prices at the Canadian markets are frequently as high as on the American markets, the farmer in the Prairie Provinces is alle to get his crop to the marketing points or ship it to the lake terminals at a much lower rate than that paidl by his farming brother to the south. There is another decided advantage; to Canadian farming often overlooked.1 Whilst the American farmer coming! to Canada secures a much larger acre- age than he has left, at a considerably lower price, he finds the cheaper acre! of Canadian land. capable of greater! production than his former high- priced land.

It is the busy produced an average of 24.23 bushels people who generally acquire both. per acre, per year, and England and Wales 32.04. The same six European countries outclassed the Dominion in the average production of barley. Against a United States average rye production of 13.75 bushels per acre in the period 1916-20 Canada has a ten-year average for this crop of 15.75 bushels, and only seven coun- tries have a higher average yield and that on relatively small acreages. . . • P keeping will ehow, when low-priced make my left and right slide from op - purchased farm lands outyield those posite directions along book shelves, previously held at high figures, are door casings, table legs, arms and immediately evident for there are backs of chairs, and presto! my dust - When.

Ex- pect great things from God." Another prophet who was mission- ary in his teaching was the author of the book of Jonah. So much so that Cornill in 'The Prophets of Israel says that this is one of the grandest and deepest books ever written in spite of its apparent triviality. Jonah is cha- grined because Nineveh had not been destroyed according to his prophet4e word. He notes not that Nineveh has repented and that God has forgiven and spared. In Jonah 4: 10, 11, the narrow sectarian is rebuked and the wideness of God's mercy, -wide enough to take in Gentiles and their cattel,-is vindicated. He is God, of Gentile, as well as Jew. In Micah 4: 1-3 we have a glorioue vision of the latter days. The best is yet to be. These may be days of tu- mult and discouragement, but a day is coming when: S.

The next time-saver I got hold of was avoiding the accumulation of mail, papers and so forth. By form- ing a habit of looking over and dis- posing immediately of all not to be kept for reference or passing on, I eliminated the trouble of a second in- spection, which would have been nec- essary if the things had been laid away and forgotten. Especially do I clean up empty envelopes, circulars an o p a the mai brings but no one needs. Then I started the habit of keeping in the living room a work basket, so as to have some pick-up sewing always handy. Putting in a few stitches now an en, w en c a with friends, will develop many embryo garments into finished ones. If the machine work is completed on undergarments, the hand finishing goes quickly, done in this way. Then I always keep a ma.gazine handy to read during mo- ments snatched, here and there, while waiting for ,someone or something. . When setting or clearing a table I always use a large tray to carry the dishes. A wheel tray of course is ideal.
