Cattle Trade Needs. In its review of live stock marketing conditions in August the Dominion Live Stock Branch makes the follow Ing timely co:elements: "The dried up condition of pasture in Ontario ad Quebec was more or less responsible for the large consighnients of thin stock. Grass conditions in .the West were fairly good in practically all di's tricts and net such as to induce ex cessive liquidation. Prospects for coarse grains and roughage are very promising, and-cal:tie holdings are no nearly as heavy as during the autumn of 1922. It would appear to be good business to keep the movement to slaughter during September and Oc -tober, ae free of light unfinished cattle as possible. The cattle that have been coming forward in increasing num hers Jack in weight and finish, possibly more than in type. There is no outlet • for such stock for the export trade shice they have neither the fleshing TIOT weights profitable to ship. The domestic trade, being very largely packer and butcher, does not want to load up with stock of poor dressing quality and can only do so it cut • ----peices. Theesesarket must be cleared, and as a result, the packers' storage becomes filled Issith a lot of carcasses and car- cass, duts -which go into distribution when the colder Weather and shorter runs occur. As a result, there is a very heavy amount of poor' quality beef going into consumption at a time when demand is a strong point and might be better served with beef that had been carried longer on foot and marketed in more suitable condition and, therefore, sold by the produce/ at prices that return a suitable profit.' .

Once .upon a time there was a little princess named Ermintrude Who greatly wanted to meet a bear. She lived in a mountain castle that had towers so tall they seemed to reach the moon and she had many beautiful possessions, but still she was not con- tent, because she wanted to meet a bear. That is a strange thing for a little girl to wish, but it is what this funny little Ermintrude wished. Her family and her attendants got tired of hear- ing about it. Beyond the castle stretched a black forest where bears were said to roam. The little princess used to sit up in her own special tower and gaze atethe forest through a telescope. But she did not see a bear. "No wonder, 'way up here almost in the sky," said Ermintrude, and she threw away her telescope. " I win meet a bear. Bring me my rubbers!" Her little Royal Highness had never been outside the castle grounds. • "And she shall not go now," said the king. But the queen's advice was: "Let her have her way this time." • So Ermintrude put on her royal blue wraps and then, followed by ten serv- ing men with spears, she tripped down the winding stairway of the castle tower, through the gate and straight into the thick black forest. - But, by the time twilight Sell the forest soeemed, or, so deep and black' The -tired little princess sat down and began to weep; she no longer wished to meet a bear; she wanted to go back to her tower under the moon. "Courage!" said old Alan, one of the serving men, as he stepped forward. "Your Royal Highness has only to say the word and we will go ,home." The princess looked up and saw the other serving men standing near. They seemed very strong; she decided to keep on. All at once the bushes began to crackle. Ermintrude gave a little scream. "Courage, princess I" said old Alan. "Perhaps you are.at last about to meet a bear." . Suddenly something came out of the bushes, and the serving rrien began to laugh loudly. A moment later the lit- tle princess, peering, began to laugh, too It was a baby bear, the fattest . , , brownest little hear that ever waddled. His chubby nose sniffed the air, for he smelled peanuts in Ermintrude's pocket. An hour later the queen saw a strange procession approaching. Old Alan led the waY, with Ermintrude perched on his shoulder. Behind him walked the other serving men. Two of them were carrying a fat little ani- mal that seemed quite willing to eorne. And from that time on, Ermintrude never repined or complained again; she was too busy playing with her lit- tle brown bear.—Youth's Companion. Sensitive. Speaking of touchy persons, the superintendent of a department in a city factory was asked the Leaning of "sensitive" by a foreiga workman who broke his English as he spoke it, "Well," said the superintendent, "a sensitive man is one whose feelings are hurt easily. Why do you want to know?" "The boss," said the workman, "he ask me not to call John a baldheaded boob because he's sensitive." esettees 15AN G !

The surrounciing darkness of the nations is to be invaded by the brightnbss 0± Jerusalem. It is spreading light and a leading light. In the following' verses the prophet looks west and sees the white -sailed vessels of the nations comiog to the -light of God like clouds' that fly and like 'doves to their windows. Than he looks east across the mountains of 111loab and sees the treasure laden , , caravani s of the East coming n multi- I Itudes' praising God as they come. In other words the world is to share in I Israel's joy and greatness. This is one of the great missionary visions of e Old Testament. • II. GOD'S WIDE CIRCLE JONAII 4: 10,11. Jonah 4: 10. Thou hast had pity on the gourd . . and should 1 not spare, Nineveh? These last verses gather u the whole of the lesson of this boor., The book represents the conflict be- tween the true missionary spirit and the narrow, exclusive spirit. Jonah is commanded to go to -Nineveh and preach. Jonah is afraid, not of the i dangers involved, but afraid that his preaching might be successful ,,and Nineveh might be saved le°Y repentance.' Jonah goes west instead of east and gets into trouble. God sends him a I second' time. This time he goes and ' preaches and is exeeedingly displeased because Nineveh actually receives his message and repents, and escapes the doom „Tonal had pronounced against, it, ch. 3: 4. As Jonah watched the city in anger, God prepared a gourd to. shade 'him from the heat. Them next day God destroyed the gourd. Jonah is again angry. Then comes the point. If Jonah is deeply affected by the withering of a gourd, could God contemplate with indifference the blot- ting out of a great city with many souls and much cattle, even if that cmy the ' , was ou e e circle of little The lesson is that God's circle of mercy is wider than Jonah s. It takes Forget that you need exercise when planning the dairy barn. Cut out every 'step you can. The final test of any dairy breed for your purpose is your personal re- action with respect to that breed. If ye -u do not grow into the dairy business slowly you are quite apt to grow out of it very quickly. No man can read with profit that which he cannot learn th read with pleasure.—Noah Porter. • Laying Up the Tractor By William. Walton. the head on again cover everything with a thin coating of oil. Some of I was talking to one of the service men of a big tractor factory concern the other day. His business is to see that the tractors work right, and keep on working after the users buy them. "It's coming along toward winter, now," he said. "I have just been send- ing out circulars to the purchasers of our machines, warning them to drain the radiators. But lots of 'ern won't do it; we sent out 200 circulars in my territory last year, and when the first sharp frost came we got hurry calls for fourteen repair parts!" Now, a tractor isn't like an auto- mobile; you run your car almost the year 'round, but generally lay up the tractor for the winter. So when field work is over put your tractor snugly away in some tight building where it will be safe from storms until spring comes. When all the gasoline or kero- sene is das.evn off, you may store the machine in the barn without affecting your fire insurance; an open shed is no place of a $1,000 piece of ine- in ery Drain :the radiator; -bis sure it is completely dnained. •A good scheme is to let 11e -engine run slowly until the. last drot of water has run out; then screw' the cap on tight, but leave the pet -cock oPen, and th6' water -system will stay dry. If you:have time, you may pour a pound of sal soda, dis- solved in,a bucket of water, into your radfistor; leave; this overnight and tluah itout nOxt mornirg This cleans off the deposit left by hard water. It will be easier to get this deposit off how than it will be next spring. Clean out the oil:cup and drain the fuel tanks but leave plenty of oil and grease in the transmission and other knoving. parts. Oil the magneto, and so on, Be sure that all surfaces that might rtist are covered With vaseline ° or something of the siert. And it is a mighty good thing during the early whiter, to take off the cylinder -head and clean °tit the carbon, grinding the velves i2C necessary, Before you put the valyes, you know, will be standing open all winter. They will therefore get rusty, unless oiled; and a rusty valve isn't tight. If there is any part that hasn't -been giving perfect service during the sum- mer—the magneto, for instance—now is the time to take that part off and give it a careful examination. See that it is adjusted exactly as the instruc- tion -book shows; then if it still refuses to work 100 per cent. send it back to the factory for overhauling. There will be scant time in the spring to get a balky part going; besides, the fac- tory will be far busier then and will not be 'alilegto give you the same at- , r, tention. A tractor that is put in first-class shape when stored away for the 'win- ter will be in first-class shape when you need it in the spring, provided, of course, you have a weathertight place to keep it. Possibly some of the wire connections may get a little corroded and the pump packing will idbebly dry out and leak; the rubber c6nnec- tion8 rnay perhaps crack and split, -too. But thee minor matters can he fixed in half a day's time next March. If there is a storage battery, see that it is fully chaeged. Then discon- nect it and put it away in yoer cellar or some other protected place. You must see that the storage battery is kept full of distilled water. Next 8prihg, take it to the nearest charging station and have it properly charged. If there is no charging states]) within a reasonable distance, you had better put the battery back on the tractor once every few weeks during the win- ter and run the engine at charging speed for an hour or two; thie will keep things in pretty good shape. • So many of the new tractors are being fitted with lights and self-start- ers, that e storage 'battery is getting to he the usual thing. and you want to learn how to care for it, of course. in the world of souls. ft has•regard even -to the animals. Will the heathen respond to the gospel? Should we go when the Master sends us? Does God care? This book is the answer. !III. GOD'S WORLD PEACE. RrIcAil 4: 1-3. Micah 4: 1-3. But in the la,st days. These verses of Micah are to be found practically in Isa. 2: 1-4. Micah lived in a time when the law of God was a dead letter and when the land was in a state of anarchy. "There was no king in Israel and every man did that which was right in his own eyes." Yet in these verses Micah kindles the lamp of hope. Once again we see that the prophet cannot see the blessedness of Israel apart from the blessing of the world. The nations are to learn of God through Israel. One of the great results of this turning of the nations to God is peace. Swords are to be- come plowshares. Spears are to be- come pruning -hooks. Micah' believes with all his heart in the league of na- tions, but he sees that the league of nations must beea, league with God. IV. ?eon's SAVING REMNANT,. ZEPH, 3:9. Zephaniah is no easy optimist. Like all the other prophets he sees the sin of his people and pronounces his doom upon it in the name of God. He gives a vivid picture of the state of Jerusa- lem. The princes of Jerusalem are fierce lions. Her :judges are ravening wolves. Her prophets are arrogant braggarts. Her priests are unscrupu- lous perverters of the law. Her vrIck- ed are without shame. 147iii I turn to a people a pure language. But the prophet while he gees the destruction of the impenitent does not despair. There is, too, a remnant,—a folk poor and humble through whom the pur- poses of God will flow. They are the folk of a pure language, or a pure lip. To serve him nuth onc consent. Their thinking and speaking is to issue in "united action. They are to serve the L d with one consent, or more vividly with one shoulder or yoke. In the, fol- lowing verses the.prop et goes on to see tile world is to share in the picture. Ierael is .to be a name and a praise of stich a remnant. Once again we among baeisiosiit:fouplAie:sr,ILctrou,r\Teloofs.the fidelity Prophecy is often popularly conceiv- ed of as mere foretelling. It is rather forthtelling,—a solemn preaching of righteousness and religion.

Prophecy bcrupe missionary in ita outlools. Potexample, take lea. 60: I- - this brief passage three things are struck out into bold relief. 1. The fact of privilege. -Judah, iri spite of the fact that her capital city, Ijiettrluesilitemeiisaheaprelesurrf ouonderduilb1133; is tr'eyraecta :ri- dous night. The nations about rnaY stronger materially, but they are sunk below the rays of day in a derltnees of ig.noratice, superstition and 2. The fact of -responsibility arising out of special priyileeles. "Anise shine, for thy light is come." Judah,siluding up like a tall mountain to take the sunrise, is expected to reflect that corn- ing and growing light for the benefit of those who are ot the valley. This was the attitude of St. Paulthe mis- sionary. "I am a debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise." SO • MUSt we, if, sun -lit, reflect his light and Ins truth to the uttermost parts of the earth. 3. The fact of the bright prospects of the kingdom of God. "The Gentiles shall come to thy light, and. icings to the brightness of thy Tieing." What a torch of optimism, and how bra-vely it was waved in that time of thickening gloomIt was no doubt; such a hope as this that inspired Carey's motto, "Attempt great things for God. Ex- pect great things from God." Another prophet who was mission- ary in his teaching was the author of the book of Jonah. So unich 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 boon destroyed according to his prophet -cc word. He notes not that Nineveh has repented and that God has forgiven and spkred. 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 ca.ttel,—is vindicated. He is God, of Gentile, as well as Jew. In Micah 4: 1-3 we have a glorious vision of the latter days. The best is yet to be. These may be days of tu- mult and discouragement, but a clay is coming when: 1. Spiritual things shall be on top and material things shall be their base. The mountain, of the Lord's house Shall be established. This chimes with the command of' the Lord Jesus. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and hisrighteousness;bighedteoaudsendtesusnIao5u and all things shall 2.The evangelization of the world shall :go forward 1 great mass move- ments.

A good deal of attention is being given to the regulation and improve- rnent of the dairy industry in Ireland. Grading of butter is in full swing, having far its main object the protec- tion of the Natio:sal Brand, The De- partment of Agriculture is actively en- couraging cow testing and directly supervises the recording of pure-bred dairy cows, and a register of dairy cattle being kept. Over a thousand pedigreed cows that had reached the set standard of production had beeia registered up to the end of 1922, the highest yield recorded being 14,227 pounds of milk in forty-five weeks. The majority of the pure-bred cows registered are Dairy Shorthorns, with hierries the next most numerous. Since 1909, a,total of 942 selected pure-bred dairy bulls have been bred from regis- tered cows and distributed in districts where cow -testing is carried on for mating with recorded cows, L0()D BROM OUT IN PINIPLES end BOILS -Miss Irene A.
