Pi.i—To inoculate alfalfa is it .necessary to make it real wet and, if so; how do you dry the seed? It wanliil not work good in drill, being wet. We have never used any of this material, ,so please explain in full. Answer: --In inoculating alfalfa the seed is fairly we11 dampened, It is then spread out where the-evind can "blow across it but not exposedito direot sunlight. The water quickly dries off "the seed and very little discomfort is 'experienced in sowing treated seed. .Do not allow the seed to soak; in the mixture, but see that it is thoroughly dampened. Be sure to follow the instructions sent out by the makers iof the inoculating material. B. L.:—Is and vetch hard to get rid of when one does not want to grow it any longer? Is it 'like quack grass, and what is the best way to get rid. .of quack grass? Which would be best, sand vetch or Essex rape t� sow in corn in lad cultivation? Answer:—Sand veteli ripens early, hen'ce perpetuates itself by dropping itsiseech ahead of crops with whech it is grown. This gives a general idea that vetch is hard to get rid of. If you follow the vetch crop with some culti- vated coop, such as corn, potatoes, .etc., and keep the crop clean, you will experience no difficulty whatever in 'getting rid of it. Quack grass propa- gates by root stalks and seed, hence et is extremely hard to get rid of. 'Some farmers report good results in getting rid of quack grass frcen work- ing Oise infected land as seen as the grain crop is taken off, 'seeping the ..geound thoroughly harrowed. until .,:winter. If the root stalks are very ick they should be gathered. together -with a haY rake and burned. In the spring, work the land just as soon as the soil is in shape, again raking the root stalks and •burning what is gathered. Let the land stand for 2 •or 3 weeks •eo that what remains, of the roots in the soil, sprout. .At this time again thoroughly disk and har- row the soil, gathering together and burning the root stalks. If possible, late in June or early in July, plant the area to a smothering crop such as rape or millet, sowing this fairly thick. This treatment should ex- terminate the quack grass. Sand vetch sown among the corn should give you a legume crop which is relished by hogs and sheep. However, it does not make very rapid growth. Rape, on the other hand, makes rapid, thick growth and forms a good pas- ture .for sheep and hogs, after the corn has ceased to grow. It all de- pends upon your needs as to which crop would be best to grow.' 11. :—I have a.five, Acre field that has been in pasture for several years. What sort of grain would be most •profitable to sow it to and how would you prepare the soil? It is rather heavy clay but well drained. Ansvirer:—From your description, if you are in shape to grow wheat this crop would-be profitable for you to grow. If you are in the Fall Wheat Belt you will get the largest yield of grain by having the ground plowed as soon as you can and worked into shape so that you can sow fall wheat in • September. If you are too far north have the field fall plowed and sow it to spring wheat next spring. I would advise you to apply 250 lbs. of fertil- izer analyzing about 2 to 3 per cent. ammonia, 8 per cent. phosphoric acid and possibly 2 per cent. potash. Have this applied through the fertilizer dropping attachment of the grain drill when you aresowing your wheat. 1HE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON AUGUST 8TH. ' The Kingly Kindness of David, 2 Sam. 8: 15; 9: 1-13. Golden Text, 2 Samuel 8: 15. 8-15. David Executed Judgment and justice Unto All His People. This is very high praise, and is borne out by the history of David's reign. His ideal of the kingly character and rule is well set forth in the poem which is entitled, "The last weeds of David." (2 Sam. 23: 1-4): "One that ruleth over men righteously, That ruleth in the fear of God, He shall be as the light of the morn- ing when the sun riseth, A morning without clouds, When the tender grass, speingeth out of the earth, • Through clear shining after rain." But, he adds sadly, aseif conscious that his own character had fallen far short of this ideal, "Verily my house is not so with God." It is altogether to his credit that David, in looking back over the years of his reign, should have recognized and confessed hs imperfections and faults. But it is true, nevertheless, that his reign as a whole was marked by justice and generous kindness, even toward his enemies. See, for example, his treatment of the men of Ja.besh- gilead (2 Sam. 2: 4-7), and of Abner ' (2 Sam, 3: 20-21), and his indignation and grief at Abner's death (2 Sam. 3: 28-39). .Note also, at the time of Absalom's- rebellion, his considerate treatment of Ittai the Gittite, the com- mander of his Philistine soldiers, and his patience with Shimei, who cursed him as he passed along the road in his flight from Jerusalem. (2 .Sam. 15: 19-21, and 16: 5-13.) 9: 1-13. For Jonathan's Sake, David could not forget the great and un- selfish friendship of Jonathan. In spite of Saul's jealous hatred and persecu- tion of him, he showed no vindictive- ness, after his exaltation to the throne, toward any of Saul's house. He had inflicted summary punishment upon the man who claimed that he had 'kill- ed Saul at the battle of Mount Gilboa (2 Sam. 1: 13-16), and upon the mur- derers of Ishbosheth (2 Sam. 4: 5-12). He yielded, it is true, to the demand made by the Gibeonites for vengance on the descendants of Saul because of S'aul's slaughter of them, but he did so with evident reluctance and sorrow, and because it was made apparent to him to be a religious. duty. (2 Sam. 21: 1-14). •' Ziba appears later in the history making a crafty bid for the king's favor and his own profit. See 2 Sam. 16: 1.-4. • Lame on His Feet. This son of Jonathan was called Mephibosheth, or Meribaal (1 Chron. 9: 40). The story of his lameness is told, in .chap. 4: 4. It appears that in the time Of Saul and.

VC; ntiePas Their NortiO oalowslommosusw Buying Furniture Intelligently • By ADELINE • The great charm of many of the quaint old homes, in Europe is due to the fact that in each one most of the articles of furniture and many of the decorations were not made or 'Weight during the •present owner's lifetiMe but have been in the family for yeaee, used by father -and sons, and sons' sons. The old oak chairs, benches, chests of drawers; the pottery, brass and copper cooking utensils; the 'solid silver or pewter, even the linens 'and hand embroideries, have two great charms for us modern Canadians, the first, that they were well made, built, fashioned or woven out good ma- terials by skilled hands; the second, that they have been used and enjoyed by one after another of many family generations, have been a part of the father's gifts to his sons or the neoth- er's hand work for her daughters, passed along from child 'to grandchild, gaining in value and sentiment with every new ownership. In those times household furnish- ings were all made by hand, designed either by a skilled worker or copied from somethiftg which a master work- man had. done and half of the beauty of the old time homes was in their lackof furniture. The rooms were not over -crowded as ours are, for none of the articles I have mentioned were made for show or ornament but strict- ly to fill some definite need in the home life. This is always the secret, of beautiful interior furnishing and is exactly what the great WilliaMorris meant when he said, "Have nothing in your home which you do not know • to be useful or 'believe to be beautiful."' We, too, should go back to old thne ways, and nearly all of us should make Our rooms emptier than they are tak- ing care to have in them only the ab- solutely necessary pieces of furneture and decoration, and seeing to it that these are good in color, simple in de- sign and, as far as possible, of a last- ing and beautiful quality. • To one who is about to buy one or 'more pieces of furniture the most practical advice is this: Educate your- self by looking at good things; study furniture that is higher priced than that which you are intending to buy; visit the very best furniture ehops or send for catalogs of the highest priced furniture of which you know. If you are intending to pay from ten to fifteen dollars for a chair or,table, first study chairs and tables that cost twice as much or more and study them carefully, for this reason: Supposing that without knowing anything about what the best furniture of to -day looks ,like, you should go directly to a sec- ond rate- shop because you have but little to spencel and wish a low-priced article. You will find there both good and very poor designs but having seen no others, you will be unable to say which is good and which is,poore, and .therefore the salesman has a very fine ,chance for making you take which ever piece he cares most to be rid of. • To -day the main things to look for hi furniture are simplicity in line, light but strong construction and quiet, low -toned cploring. Essentials for Living Room. For general living rooms there are no "full sets" of furniture, though one should pay some attention to selecting pieces which go well together in size and shape, and as, for the articles needed, we can never do better then to study a list which Wileiain Morris once- gave for living r00111 furniture, and see if it does not include all the pieces really needed to make a living room homey and delightful. He says, "First a bookcase, with a great many books in it; next a table that will keep steady when you write or work at it; with this a good lamp; then sev- eral chairs that you can move and a bench or couch that you can sit or lie upon. You will want pictures, each as you can afford, not stop -gaps but (copies of) real works of art upon the 13. WHITFORD. wall, We shall also want a vase to • put flowers in. Then there will be the firePlace and if we are musical, we shall need eorne musical instrus merit, That is quite all we shall want and we can add little to thee° neces- sities, without troubling ourselves and leirderreisntgs, our walk, our thought, or o Sueh is a living room planned by a great artist. Let us compare our over -crowded rooms with this and re- move many things; Halls and dining rooms when not a part of the living room, are not meant to spend 11111411 time. in. Each one • should have only the necessary furni- ture for its use and this arranged rather formally, with no clutter of little things. • In halls the only necessary articles ate the "tree" or rack for a coat or hat or two, and a well hung mirrob. When there is roorn, a small firm table and one or two chairs placed straight against the wall are useful. Welcome is given by a hall's color rather than its furnitre; yellowish walls- (not deep tan) with this little set arrangement of all' brown or all black furniture, would be one of sev- eral good treatments. e- Keep China in Cupboard. In choosing pieces for a small din- ing room, the table and chairs are necessary but the sideboard and the glass china cabinet may or may not be used. In homes of good taste there are no displays of china and cut glass A dining room has a closed cupboard or the dishes are brought in from the nearby pantry or kitchen cupboard Very often en -place of a sideboard, a narrow side table is get against the wall and on this there is room for a dish of fruit or flowers, a pair of tall candle sticks with gay candles for de- coration, still leaving epees in which to set down plates Or a tray when serving, A chest of drawers some- thing like an old dresser is often useel as a convenient dining room piece. In furnishing bedrooms special at- tention should be given to providing good bed springs, mattresses and pil- lows. Good health depends upon c'om- forta'ble sleep; it is not only poor economy but shabby housekeeping to neglect this fact. The ideal bedroom has very little in it. • Complete sets of furniture are not always used but they are generally the most convenient. Very artistic bedrooms have simple beds, a small lamp stand at the head, a chair, a chest ofhdrawers and a mirror. These articles may be of any quality, pro- vided they- are. substantial, comfort able to use and restful to look at. The charm of a bedroom is in its good order and its fresh, exact kind of cleanliness. A good closet and plenty of windows mean far more to the com- fort and usefulness ef a bedroom than handsome furniture. Renovating Old Furniture. And now a word about old furni- ture. Very often the householder 'has stored away old chairs, tables, spindle - back couches or beds, which were made in excellent simple forms. The present popularity of painted furneture, and ibettereways of finishing old wood, give these pieces a new yalue. They should all be saved and put to use again. If they are of mahogany or walnut they may be sold at a good price or refinished by an experienced cabinet worker, for they will make valuable pieces; but if of softer woods, they are better painted. • Dull olive green, dark blue, dull yellow, medium gray and black are the favorite colors from which to choose. Brown. is not used nor the mahogany red, as these are too much like an inlitation of wood itself. In finishing any wood with sand- paper or pumice powder, do not use the circular movement but go back and forth straight and always with the grain of the wood. "master," or "lord," was one of the titles applied, to Jehovah, just as we say "Master" or "Lord" when speak- ing of C.hrist. Later the name Baal came to be associated in the minds of Israelites with the worship of certain heathen deities, and its use was dis- continued.In some cases Hebrew scribeswho had learned to hold the name of Baal in abhorence, finding it in the old histooies in compound proper &Mend Omni Agony From Pains in &CEng • Most of the misery and ill-bealth that humanity is burdened with arise from disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels.

Fourth ,Article. Feeding a baby on the bottle is a difficult thing to do suhcessfully. If it is not done propeely the baby will get seek and may lose its life. As a baby grows older a.nd gets heavier he requires additienal food. Nature provides these changes in mother's milk without any one having • to worry about. But when the baby is fed on a bottle these changes must be made every few weeks. For that reason fetching a baby an a bottle needs to be under the •supervision of a physician. Babies who are fed on a bottle, too, are more liable to indiges- tion and diarrhoea, so that the bottle- fed baby usually needs to be seen frequently by the doctor. The baby will need to be milk fed at least until it is a year old, so It saves time and money to obtain the proper equipment in the beginning. Select good quality white graniteware for the utensils for preparing baby's milk, and never use them for any other purpose. They must be kept always sorupulou.sly clean and scalded each time befote ueing. Essentials in Bottle Feeding. The following are essential: Equipment—Ono 'large pan with in- verted pie pan In the bottom for pas- teurizinge One two -quart granite saucepan with handle, or pitcher. " One tablespoon. One pint measure. Seven bottles, corks and nipples for each bottle. One wire rack for holding bottles. One bottle brush. One fruit jar forelime water or bar- ley water, as ordered by the physician. • One jar of malt sugar, milk Auger or cane sugar, as ordered by the physician. • One box of baking soda or borax. Bottles—Select bottles with smooth, round sides and marked for the differ- ent quantities of food. There should be as many bottles as there are feed- ings in twenty-four hours. The bottle should be cleaned immediately after feeding by rinsing in clear water, then by soaking in suds, borax or soap water. Bottles should be scrubbed with a clean brush in warm soapsuds and rinsed with boiling water. (Then they should be filled with boiled water until ready for use.) The corks should be scalded each day and kept in. a tightly covered receptacle. Nipples—Use only noncollapsible nipples that can be slipped over the neck of the bottle. After each feed- ing cleanse the nipple inside and out- side, scrubbing it with a brush in warm soapy water. Wrap the nipples in a clean cloth and boil them once a clay. Drop them into a scalded jelly glass and put the lid on tight. Never touch with your fingers that part of the nipple which must go into the baby's mouth. The hole in the nipple should be only large enough to allow the drops to fall about one and one- half inch apart when the bottle is inverted. • Feeding—Feed the baby by the clock. When it is feeding time, shake the bottle gently to mix the contents and place it in a pan of hot water to warm it. Test the temperature by let- ting a few drops fall on the inside of the wrist. Giving the bottle—The bottle should always be held while the child is tak- ing the food. • The baby should be lying down while feeding. Do not allow hirn to drink longer than twenty minutes. Do not urge him to take more than he wants. If he does not take the whole feeding, throw out that remaining in the bottle. Do not save it for another time. A child should not be played with after feeding. He should not be al- lowed to suck on an empty bottle or allowed to sleep or • play with the nipple in his mouth. After feeding, the child should be placed upright and patted gently' to allow him to bring np gas or air which AF LL T'S sLP WAS OUT OF , THE QUESTION.

The average weight of a baby at birth is seven. pounds. During the • first week after birth there is usually no gain in weight, and there may be a slight loss, At the end of two weeks the average baby should weigh seven pounds and six ounces, and should gain eight ounces a week for the next two weeks, so that when one month old he weighe eight pounds and six ounces. For the...first two menthe a normal infant gains from six to eight ounces a week. For the third month he gains from four to six ounces a week, and thereafter from three to four ounces weekly. This rebular increase in weight, as determined by the weekly weighing, is the indication that baby's food tis not 'only agreeing with him and satisfying his hunger but that it is also meeting his growth requirements. General formulae must of necessity be written for the average baby, and may not be entirely satisfactory fOr your baby. If your baby does not gain properly and remain well, take it to your doctor, who may make the neces- sary change. Take this paper along with you, so the doctor may know what and how you have been feeding. Okserve These Rules. • A new-born baby needs very little food for the first day or two. The first feeding ehould be made of one ounce of milk to two or three ounces of water, and no sugar. No food or • substance other than cool boiled water should be given except by the direction of the physician. After the first day a weak baby is fed at two-hour intervals during the day and twice 'during the night, at 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. A strong. baby may be fed at three-hour intervals during the day, with two feedings at night. At one week the average child re- quires fifteen ounces of diluted milk daily. To five ounces of milk add ten ounces of water and one and one-half tablespoonfuls of sugar of meek. Dextrimaltose, one-half to one tea- spoonful may be added. to each feeding bottle instead of using sugar of milk, as atated. This total quantity is given in seven feedings at three-hour inter- vals during the day and two feedings at night. At three months the child will re- quire about thirty-two ounces of di- luted milk daily. To sixteen ounces of milk add siecteen ounces of water and three level tablespoonfuls of sugar of milk. • Dextrimaltose may be used In the proportion of one teaspoonful to each feeding bottle, tinstead of sugai of milk. This is given in eix feedings at three-hour intervals during the day and one feeding at night, about 10 p.m. The 2 a.m. feeding is discon- tinued at the third or fourth month. Ataix months the average baby will require thirty-six ounces of diluted milk and twelve ounces of water 01 barley water and threei even table- spoonfuls of sugar of milk. This is given in five feedings during the day the night feeding being discontinued. At nine months the average child requires forty ounces daily, To thirty ounces of milk add ten ounces of water or barley water and three even table- spoonfuls of sugar. This is given in five feedings. • Additions to Milk Diet. Drinking water—Boil a pint of water every morning and put In a clean bottle. Keep in a cool place. Offer the ,babie plenty of water be- tween feedings, beginning with one- half ounce twice a day during the first few days after birth. The quantity should be gradually linereased ntii the infant is taking from five to •six ounces of water daily. It must be remembered that the in- fant cannot ask for water, and that he is apt to become thirsty more often during the summer months than in winter. • Barley water.—After the baby is six months old barley water may be us -ed to dilute milk instead of plain water.

'1 • Did you ever travel over an un- familiar tountry road in some coin - /amity where you had no friend e or acquaintances? If so, have you tried the experiment of determining in your own mind the sort of neople who live in these farm homes that dot the rural landscape? It may never have on- curred to you, but it is an actual fact that the character of the people who live in the farm home is very ac- curately 'reflected by the surroundings of that farm home. In the same way that you might judge the hoines in a community unfamiliar to you, just so people passing your front yard every day are judging you andyour family. It is a true judgment. The neatly painted house, the screened porch, the smoothly mowed la-wn, the shrubbery and flowers, the well -kept garden nearby, the fenee in repair, the whole external picture of the farm home set off by a. frame made up of wen -placed trees—these are the details that photograph in your mind the impression of farm people who love their honie and who believe in the preservation of its natural beauty. As one's personal appearance reflects human charaoter just so the appear- ance of the farm reflects the mental attitude of the farm family toward farm life.
