In nearly every case it will allay the Inflammation, soothe the irritation, heal the diseased mucous lining of the lungs and .bronchial tubes, and thus rid the system of all the bad effects of the lingering cough or cold.

Will it do well in light soil? And can it be planted in the fall? R. 5.:—The soy bean is an annual legume. It does well on a medium loam to sandy soil which:must be well drained and sweet. It will not per- petuate itself either by dropping seed or by second growth or the same roots, but, like ordinarygarden beans, the soy beans have to be planted every year. Soy beans are very good to cut for hay, especially if the crop is cut before the stalks become woody and hard and while the seed is very soft ,in the pod. I would not advise fall sowing of soy beans since they would--rnake little growth before fall and would be killed off by autumn and winter frosts. Provided you are in a sufficiently warm section of the eoun- try, you could get satisfactory reeplts both with alfalfa and sweet clover if you do not delay the seeding until too late, As soon as your hay crop is off, work the field up and sow alfalfa or sweet clover, using alfalfa seed at the rate of 20 lbs. to the acre and evreet clover at about the same rate. Speak- ing generally, in Ontario a nurse crop. protects the young clover crop. Barley or wheat sown at the rate of a bushel to the acre provides a sufficiently thick nurse crop but not thick enough to smother the. clover. If. S.:—I would like some advice on getting a catch of grass seed on muck ground. a have seeded this land spring and fall for three years and failedto get a catch.. There will be a ditch put through this year which will drain the. land. Would it be a good plan to burn off the muck, as it is only a foot deep and has a good clay bottom? H. S.:—In all probability your diffi- culty in getting a grass catch en muck ground is the type of grass that you are seeking to establish. Speaking generally, any .undrained muck soil - tends to be sour. This can be cor- rected by drainage and the application of Time at the rate of a ton to the acre. However, if you,are not in shape to lime the soil; prepare the seed bed carefully and sow red top grass at the , rate of 20 lbs. of good .,seed to the ' acre, The seed is very light, therefore this quantity will represent a con- siderable bulk. It world 4be well also to include about 3 to 4 lbs. of alsike clover in the mixture. Alsike is pro- bably the best clover to grow' where soil is not distinctly sweet. By all menus keep fire away from the snuck, if you burn it off you will destroy exceedingly valuable organic matter. Under the conditions you mention, it may be adnisa'ble when the ground is brought under cultivation' again to de some sub-soiling,bringing a little of the clay up to mix with the muck. In. order to insure a good catch of the grass and clover, I would advise you to ;sow about 300• lbs. fertilizer to the were of a fertilizer analyzing 1 to 2 per cent. ammonia, 10 to 12 per cent. available phosphoric acid and 2 per eent. potash. This well-balanced plant food will do a great deal towards sup- plying early vigor through available plant food for the young crop. P. A.; -I have been thinking of felling my silo with just cornstalks and have the cobs taken out and crushed with oats and feed it to cows that way. Is there any appreciable difference in the way the corn is fed? P. A.:—It is not advisable to take the ears off the growing corn before cutting up the plant for ensilage. A silo filled with corn stapes alone con- tains a considerable amount of woody. matter and water with little feed of fine nutritive value.. Various experi- ment stations in America have tested out this question. Director Hills of Vermont Sta. reports that one acre of green corn fodder alone with ear' when put in the silo made as good feeding material as 1.26 acres of corn from which the ears had been stripped and fed to the stock after the ears were dried and the corn ground. L. C.:—I have a five -acre field of rye stubble which has raised a crop of beans since a clover sod was plowed down, but has not had manure for several years. 11 wish to plant this field to fall wheat. Have no manure, so will have to buy commercial fertil- izer. The land varies from clay loam to sand loam. What kind and how much Would you advise nae to buy? L. C.:—In preparing. the field for fall wheat I would advise you to sup- ply 300 lbs, per acre of a fertilizer analyzing 3 to 4 per cent. ammonia, 8 to 9 per cent. phosphoric acid and 2 to 3 per cent. potash. This avail- able plant food will give the young wheat a strong vigorous stalk. Parent -Teachers Associations and Consolidated schools, The district which succeeds in .se- curing the consolidated school should not be satisfied until it obtains the best passible results front that school, and this is best accomplished through a parent -teachers association. An organization of this sort forms the very best go-between for the success of teacher, parent and pupil, for any school question that arises can thus be properly brought before the associa- tion. Any two or three parents can call a meeting for the organization of such a body. All that is needed is to have a few people interested enough to study some of the town organizations con- nected with the public schools and find out their methods of corrducting Meet- ings. The usual officers will be need- ed and committees may be appointed as the neesl arises. I have in mind a successful assoeiation that has.a mem- bership committee, a health and sani- tation committee, ••a social and pro- gram committee, and a playground committee. Programs are easily prepared, for there are endless questions which should be discussed at such meetings. The health of the school child; school' lunches; the cigarette question; trans- portation •service; playground equip- ment that is safe; the care of the teeth, and the school library are sub- jects that deserve attention. Each locality will find that its problems differ just a little from those of other localities, and programs can be "'car- ried out with these particulars in mind. - It is well for the teachers to have charge of the programs, allowing special classes to show what is being accomplished through new Methods of teaching. Parents are glad of an op- portunity to learn how the teacher •of to -day presents the lessons, and the teacher is very desirous of getting the parents interested in the newer ways of tetiching the old lessons. The co-operation that comes from such meetings can hardly be estimat- ed. When the children know that pare ents as well as teachers' are back of their schoolwork, they place adiffer- ent value on its importance. Because of this new insight into just what the school wishes to do for each •child, the parent feels that in all things lie must stand back of the work, in order that he may in no way retard his child's progress, •- The teacher feels that at last she has interested the patents, and ,if John and Mary are properly fed, are looked after in regard to` bodily eleapliness, and are given the proper attitude to- ward acquiring lcnowledge, half hex battles are won. The trustees find that if the. par- ents and teachers are in sympathy with the work of the school, under- standing each other's aims and me- thods, many irritating affairs will be kept out of their hands, for where understanding exists differences are likely to disappear. While a parent -teachers association is in no sense of the word to be a clearing ground for petty grievances or family feuds, parents and teachers can meet on common ground, seeking how best they esti train and- rear the youth of our farm localities so. that 'they' may make ` the best world citi- zens. The greatest need of ouresehools is thatall concerned should work to- gether to put the teaching inethods of to -day on the highest possible plane studying the faults in such systems withthe idea of correcting them. If all the people in any one district would have the school work under constant consideration the educational world would see rapid advancement, There are few more dismal sights than a fine .brick house on a farm v✓ thout a tree anywhere near it. Before the breakdown comes, look over your stock of nuts, bolts, screws and things of that sort. When we have five or six acres of grass • down or a field of grain all ready to cut, it doesn't set very well on a fellow's stomach to have to stop anddrive to the store to get a ten -cent piece of iron.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON JULY 11TH Jonathan Befriends David, 1 Sam, 20. Golden Text, Prov. 17: 17. , 1-11. From Naoith in Ramah. This is evidently the statement of the edi- tor or compiler of the book, who put the various narratives together in their present form, and who seeks here to make a connection between chapter 19: 18-24 and ohapter 20. The difficulty, however, remains that in v. 5 David speaksas though he were expected as a guest at the king's table at the new moon feast, A pos- sible explanation is that, after the experience of Saul's messengers and of Saul himself with the prophets (19: 20-24), there may have been a partial reconciliabion, and that may also account for the conversation with Jonathan here in vs. 1-2. If so we can understand how Jonathan believes -that all is well and refuses to doubt his father's sincerity, while David is st.l1 afraid. At any rate, David Is con- vinced that his life is .in danger. His friends decide that Jonathan shall ob- serve what the king says at the new moon feast, and that, in the ineantiiie, David shall 'remain in hiding. 12-23. Jonathan Made a Covenant. Jonathan's words are full of deep feel- ing, and display the qualities of a' sensitive, noble, anti unselfish mind. Ire foresees the fall of his fathot+'s house and the rise of the house of David, 'and pleads only that his own life and his household may be spared when the day of David's succession to the throne shall come. 24-81. When the New Moon Was Come. One or two days of the new moon were regarded by the. Hebrews as holy days, like the •Sabbath, days of rest and worship. The feast was part of the celebration, and it was expected that all the guests would be iri their places. Saul noticed the absence of David, and on the second day of the feast inquired of Jonathan why he was not there, and then charged his son angrily with having chosen David to his own shame and hurt. "tor," he said, "as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom;" 32-42. Jonathan Answered Saul. His loyalty to his friend nearly cost him his life. He rose from the table in.fierce anger, and went to warn David.

From the pie fall ribbons which the girls are requested to pull. The names of the Men who are present are written on cards which are attached to the rib- bons, and they secure their partners when they find the girls who have drawn their names. Another way creative of much fun Is to pass to the men slips of paper on which are written the namesof animals, with corresponding slips to the girls. Each man must then act out as best he can the part of the ani- mal nimal whose name he had drawn. The girls guess who their partners are from the medley of cats, dogs, squir- rels, lions, kangaroos, elephants and other members of the animal kingdom. Schoolgirl: Please explain the stamp language.

That Jonathan knew David had not done and would not do, At the Time Appointed. See vs. 18- 22. It was somewhere outside the city that David was hiding. The stratagem which the friends had de- vised was effective. No onlooker would know that any communication had passed between theni. David Arose. This. was no part of the original plan. If it had been, the shooting of the arrows would not have been necessary. At the risk of dis- covery the friends have a meeting, They know that their parting may he for a long tittle,' perhaps forever, and so they feel they cannot part with- out •seeing and speaking to each other again. The correct rendering of v. 41 is as follows: "David arose from be- side the mound." The mound appears to have been David's hiding place. Bowed Himself Three Times. Close friends as they were they observed the forms of greeting and of courtesy of which the Orientals are so fond. David recognizes also the great thing which his friend has done for him, and shows hire both affection and reverence. David's self-control abandoned hint in the parting scene, but Jonathan is the more calm and strong of the two. He reminds David of their covenant bond and oath (vs. 13-17), and pronounces in farewell, "The Lord shall be be- tween me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever." Shade makes sheep. If there is no shade in the pasture, furnish a shelter.
