S., Huron Co., writes: "I am told that the soil of my farm_wants an application of lime. Before apply- ing_ I should like to know sonaething about lime and its effects." You cannot do better than write to the Publications Branch, Ottawa, and ask for Bulletin No. 80, on "Lime in Agriculture" and for Bulletin No. 8, New Series, on ."Fertilizers for Field Crops." • As you do not give the na- ture of your soil, it is impossible to •say definitely what it requires, but the publications referred to-will,prob- ably tell all you wish to know. Briefly, ground limestone an rnax •ale pre- ferable•for light, sandy, and gravelly loa.ms and ltrrie or slaked lime for heavy clays. Dr. Shutt, .

But it is strange that where among the stock on the farm the principle is recognized that "as the twig is bent so does the tree grow" it is so little a.pplied to the 'human product. There may be many re•asons why boys and girls leave the farm but perhaps the commonest is the failure to promote and foster this inborn love of farm animals. An improvement has taken place in rural school teaching in the last few years by the inclusion of a little agriculture bui even that too often ends at the school house door. Do not social ambitions in many rural places run. directly away from the farm? "A lad o' pairts" is generally encouraged to look forward to, if he is not from early youth set aside for a city job. It has become almost a fashion* of late in Canadian cities for someone to ,compile a list of country - bred boys who have "made good" in the city. Yet, with almost half our population in urban districts and with competition in the'larger cities nearly as fierce as it is in the denser centres of Europe, one may wonder if the real opportunities for the' next fifty years will not be found in the country. Al- ready the pendulum has begun to swing backwards and one hears often- er than formerly a longing to be "back on the land." It would be more logical by early encouragement to retain on tlie land the boys and girls who, unconsciously, have already reached a high stage of technical training in 'farming than to see them drift into cities where they frequently waste that knowledge in trying, often enough late in life, to learn what others may be far better fitted to undertake.- One of the most hopeful features in to -day's rural conditions is the spread of the movement for livestock clubs for boys and girls. Such clubs are notably malcing progress in the Province of Quebec, and in some parrs of the West. It is a healthful token for Canadian agriculture. Those most closely connected with the meat industry are most convinced that only by the application of greater intelligence and ektended knowledge in both production and in all that goes after production can a permanent improvement in that industry. and in allied agricultdre be looked,fOr.. Our livestock industry, based as it is di- rectly and unmistakably upon the sale of meat focids after preparation by the most modern technical methods, must meet highly trained and highly organized competition from other countries. It can only be successful when it can count upon the same qual- ities of intelligence and knowledge as eother industries have A casual survey of the enormous demand for meats all over the world will show that so far we have but reached the gate and threshold of un- dreamt -of opportunities. We cannot take more complete possession than by setting the younger farm folk to "start where their fathers left off." Outstanding wealth may notacome to all even in the livestock industry any more than to those in a• city's indus- tries but the probabilities are that those on farms will have the far more healthful life and proud sense of in- dependence that almost inevitably go with country life. And at the last, for those whom nature has endowed with the magic love of livestock there will be the inward contentment of which • R. L.

In the second narrative he ap- pears first on the scene as the valiant antagonist of the giant Goliath.' Saul's interest was aroused by this unexpect- ed feat, and he made inquiries con- cerning David's aniecedents. (See 1 Sam. 17:55.)

There is no known way of telling a valuable sire only by his progeny. If his heifers are better producers than their dams he is a good bull—worth his weight, in gold; but if his heifers are no improvement over their dams, or if not so good, then he is worthless as a sire. Who can tell what the result will be when you mate an unknown bull with poor cows? No Mall can. The most perfect individual, according to Stand- ards, might be absolutely worthless, and if his sire was a proved prepotent bull and his dam had a world's record he might not have this -Unknown, mys- terious power of prepotency. He might transmit undesirable qualities instead of desirable ones.
