fallowing is about the only hope.
3. If the ground is infested with
wild oats, cut out the grain crop as
far as possible and introduce such
crops as corn, potatoes, roots and
other cultivated crops. Such treat-
ment will greatly weaken the vitality
of wild oats in that many of the young
plants will be cut off as soon as the
germination.
Broody Hens. Cut Egg
Production.
One cause for low egg production in
the average Rook during the summer
menthe is the fart that the broody
hen is not quickly "broken up" or got-
ten back to laying.
Careful records have shown that
the average broody hen, if placed in a
broody coop the fleet day she goes
broody, will lay again in ten days.
If the is allowed to stay broody ten
days ori then put in a broody coop, it
will be twenty-five days before she
will commence laying. If allowed to
stay broody twenty-one days, it will
be thirty-five days before she will lay,
It is therefore essential to "break
up" the broody hen the first day she
shows symptoms of broodiness.
The most efficient way to "break
up" broodiness is to put the hens in
n good broody coop. A broody coop
is nothing but a slat -like coop made
out of lath in such a way that a space
equal to the vridth of a lath is left
between the laths on the four sides
and bottom,
This coop should be raised several
feet front the ground and placed in a
shady place where the broody hens
ran see the rent of the flcak,
Feed and water the broody Irene and

however, any hen wants to set again,
put her back in the Loop for two mare

This treatment will net retard the

Are the Chuleo Wef Nourished ?
Many motlwrs ennqunee with pride
that the?•- child eats anything, , The
child'has been bioseed with geed
health, consequently the mother over-
taxes its digestive tract by giving it
rands whicli are suitable for the adult,
but not suitable for the child. That
child is likely to suffer in later yens
far, tells unintentional failure upon
the mother's part, Its digestive tract
is immature and delicate, so it should
not be expected to assimilate •with
ease the same foods as the adults.
Another difference which must
never be lost eight of is that the child
is building a house in which' he is
going to lie, while the adult, in a
sense, ,is merely repairing and hent-
ing his completed 'budding.
In order to have a sa'tis'factory
house, the and must select material
which eau be used to make good bones,
teeth, blood and tissue. If an infant
or young and is given a diet lacking
in mineral matter or that is lacking
in iron, caleiuin, phosphorus or potas-
sium, he is in danger of being anaemic,
underweight and in general below par
physically.
Mineral Foods.
Does your chill have some food
from each of the following essential
mineral groups each day?
Iron -containing foods: Lettuce, on-
ions, asparagus, endive, spinach, kohl-
rabi, pumpkins, artichokes, celery and
rhubarb. Figs, pineapples, apples,
pears, plums, strawberries and goose-
berries. Egg yolks.
Calcium -containing foods: Oranges,
figs, pears, cherries, pineapples, cit-
ron, currants. Savoy cabbage, cauli-
flower, onion's, lettuce, radishes, cen
ery, endives, spinach and turnips.
Cheese and milk.
Phosphorus -containing foods: Black
radishes, artichokes, kholrabi, eauli-
flower, asparagus, cabbage, onions,
rhubarb, carrots, turnips, spinach.
Egg yolk, cheese and milk. Pears,
apples, apricots,' oranges, figs and
plums.
Potassium -containing foods: Plums,
apricots, figs, pears, cherries, pine-
apple, oranges ;and apples. Rhubarb,
cabbage, turnips, spinach, beets, cel-
ery, tomatoes, lettuce carrots, endives.
Egg whites, milk and cheese.
If sections from these four groups
of food, rich in mineral matter, are
included in the child's menu, the re-
maining groups rich in sodium, sul-
phur, ehlorine and magnesium' will be
likely to be present in sufficient
quantities.
Not only must the mother plan the
child's menu so that it will furnish
the mineral natters to make strong
bones, teeth and good blood, but she
must supply the child with the pro-
teins, fats, starches and sugars that
are essential for the complete develop-
ment of the body.
Proteins.

child; These furnish the much talked
oP vitamines that are vital for health
and growth.
Tco much fat, however; will cause
the feed to remain overlong in the
stentaoh and as a ramie there may be
serious digestive disturbances. There-
fore, give a child very little fried
food. Let milk, cream and butter
furnish the essential amount.
Starches,
The starchy foods supply a large
portion of our daily fuel. They are
comparatively inexpensive heat pro-
ducers. These are:
Vegetables such as potatoes, mama -
one breads of various kinds, breakfast
foods, such as oatmeal,'cornmeal, etc.
Dried peas, bean and lentils.
The body can use more starch than
fat or sugar as fuel' without disad-
vantage
isadvantage to itself.
Sugars,
Especial care -roust be taken to
avoid highly sweetened food in a
child's diet since it destroys theelesire
for lees highly flavored but more nee-
eseary food. Sweets should never be
given between meals. A pure sweet
may used as a dessert at the end
of a meal. Foods containing sugar
are:
Sweet fruits, vegetables, honey,
melaeses and syrups desserts, sugar.
The infant and pre-school child
must be dealt with under a separate
heading as their diets are necessarily
more restricted than the school child's.
. Youth is the time to .cultivate a
wholesome respect for all natural
foods. Disparaging remarks about
good food should never be permitted,
Most aversions to particular foods are
acquired early in life.
A suggestive menu for the school
child:
Breakfast: Baked apple, oat meal,
toast, butter, milk, plain or flavored
with cocoa.
School lunch: Pea soup (made with
milk at school or brought in vacuum
bottle), • celery -and -nut esndwich,
bread and butter, baked custard.
Supper: Poached or soft cooked egg,
potatoes or rice, spinach, carrots pr
similar vegetable, bread and butter,
plain cake or a simple pudding.
The Pair By the Pool.
At the edge of a pool, where the
Wee water was crystal ebear and slim
green rushes grew, et dragon fly and
a frog were sunning themselves, one
on the end of a water weed ,and the
other on the edge of the bank. The
sun -thine made gold and purple lights
on the dragon fly's wings and burnish-
ed the frog's brown back,
Now and then the two glanced at
each other with interest. Presently
they began to talk to themselves.
The dragon fly slowly opened and
shut her beautiful wings. "What a
morning!" she said. "How sorry I
feel for those poor creatures that do
not get above the level of the ground."
The frog raised his head and gazed
at the gaudy fly.
"How glad I am," he said aloud,'
"that I don't have to go hurrying
about from one place to another with-
out ever knowing the feel of the cool,
sweet earth under my feet or of the
water over my head."
Just then a tight wind began to
stir; it swayed the weeds and rippled
the face of the pool. The dragon fly
spread her wings and sailed away.
"I wonder what kind of creature he
was talking about," she thought; "the
poor, slaw thing, Oh, the beautiful
skyl"
The frog made a sudden leap from
the bank; there was a splash, and he
was gone.
"Creatures that do not get above
the level of the ground," he repeated
as the ripples closed in over his head.
"Of course she meant terrapins and
simile. I suppose .he stays 'in the
air so much that she is light: -headed
and does net speak plc l;ly." Then he
gurg.'ed with contentment, "Oh, the
good brown mud at the bottom of this
peel!" he mid.

Paint Now.
A farm building covered with a
good coat of point is worth more than
if it was unpainted. It will last longer,
it will look better, it will sell for
more. Paint, therefore, is an invest-
ment, not an expense. Yet twenty-four
per cent. of us use no paint at all.
Paint is used on farm machinery
for two reasons: First, to protect it
from rust. Second, it makes it sell
better (because it looks better). These
facts are fairly well recognized, as
sixty-seven per cent of us paint our
farm implements and double their life.
What, then, is the cost of painting?
And why is it we do not paint oftener?
We believe that the labor problem
is at the bottom of the question: "To
paint or not to.pai'nt?" A painting
job consists of one-third paint and
two-thirds labor. But where shall we
get the Tabor?
A gal9on of paint will oover two
hundred and fifty be three hundred
and fifty square feet—two coats. That
is, a double coat of paint ten feet wide
and twenty-five to thirty-five feet
long.
It tests yeu $2.25 or less, perhaps.
If you have it done by a professional
it will cost about $4,50 for labor.
Half of us have our own painting
done. The ether half do it in our
spare time, Some of us paint in the
spring—about twenty-five per cent.,
another twenty-five per cent, in the
summer, another twenty-five per cent.
in the 'fall. The rest of us paint as.
we get a chance or not at all.
A banker e'aps the increase lean
value on painted buildings is twenty-
two per cent, It can oleo, no doubt,
be .proven that re part of a. building
brings a better return for the money
invested than does the paint, Some
ol'aim, with good reason, that an in-
vestment in paint rays four and a half
per cent, dividend --about the same
as a government bons.
Let us use ,good paint, for the paint
is only ore -third of the cast. A good
paint will last five, seven or even
ten or fifteen years, but is poor paint
will be gone in three.. The better the
paint you spread, the farther you
woad your labor cost.
There's no place like home to use
paint. Paint now now is always the
best time to paint.

Chapter 23 contains a calendar of
the great feasts or holidays (that is,
holy days) of the Jewish year. The
seventh month 'began in September
and would include atm the first part
of October. Irethis month the people
celebrated the end of the fruit har-
vest, and the end of the sutnnter.
(Exod, 23: 16) The feast of taber-
nacles, or feast: of tents, (v. 34), was
a grand camping out for seven or
eight days Men, women, and chil-
dren, who had been cooped up in their
little villages and town's, trooped- out
into the country. They made raugb
shelters of boughs (v. 40), and had a
merry, happy elate. The older form
of the law (vs. 40-42) provided that
the first day should be kept iso' a Sab-
bath, a day of solemn rest, but a
later statute (vs. 36 and 89) appears
to have added a second Sabbath on the
eighth day. (compare also Deut. 16.
13-15).
These happy days of play and wor-
ship were also to remind the people
continually of the time when their
fathers lived in tents, or in booths, in
the wildernel;s, in the days of Moses,
when the Lord brought then- out of
the land of Egypt. See also Deut. 31:
3-13 for a special feature of the holi-
day which was to be -observed every
seventh year. Deut. 5: 12-15. The
sabbath day. The word "sabbath" is
taken by us from the Hebrew lain
guage in which it means rest. The
Sabbath day is the day of rest. There
is good reason to believe that this law
was actually made by Moses, but the
custom of observing certain days of
every months as hely days may be
much older. It seems to have been
originally connected with the new
moon day, which was likewise kept
holy. The lunar month of twenty-nine
days mtglllt thus have had five holy
days, the new moon day, and the
seventh, fourteenth, twenty-first, airi
twenty-eighth days, which we now
know were kept sacred in ancient
Babylonia, The law cf Moses, how-
ever, ultimately made the sabbath to
b'e observed every seventh day,irres
-
peative of the days of theemonth.
This law appears also, with the
rest of the . ten commandments, in
Exod. 20: 8-11, where reference is
made to the story of creation, in which
God's work in making the world is
presented under the figure of the
week -six days of progressive labor
leading to completion of the work, and
a seventh day of rest. This is taken
to moan that the Sabbath day cf rest
is divinely sanctioned.
• St. Mark 6: -31-32. Come Ye Your-
selves Apart. Jesus knew and felt
the need of rest, both for Himself and
for His disciples. His mi'n'istry had
been, from the beginnlmg, one of i

Oh, young men, there is work to be
done he the world! There is room for
you to vow a vow.as did the knight>
of old, that you will not lie soft nor
shirk toil; .that you will steel your
bodies to hardships and make your
nittea'.os fi•t; that you 'will learn to earn
your bread by right endeavor as sour
brethren must earn theirs; that you
wird walk erect, proudly, hiding aloft
your burden, carrying it gloriously.
rrct as a burden, but as a sign of
honoree sign of trust; that you will
pray to be worthy, that you will ark
for work to do and strength to do,
IbM you will pray to ate given lave
enough :and patience enough to matte
you willing to be a brother to all
humanity; impatent of injustices, pa-
tient to lead poor, eelflrh, blind hu-
manity that it is. Patient to lead it
toward clean, courageous living, to-
ward a life of love and forgiveneze,
one toward -another.
Ani while this life that is worth
living may and will have much of love
and ratience in it, et will alto have
its sterner sides. There were giants
in Omen days, There are mightier
giants to -day, They oppres's and de-
bauch humanity. There is need now
of some to drive the money changers
from the temple. There is need of
strong, steadfast men to comlet the
steadily increasing power of iha
trusts, tis pirates of elle money mar-
ket, the rich vampires who seem to
fatten en the blood of the producers
of the land, There wee never more
work to do, nee work more worth'
while.
Itis all eununed up in this:
What is worth doing in theworld
is to loan 1, use well these bodies o4
yours, to make 'them strong and keep
thein clean, to 1':ain to ase these
minds of were, to store them with
