Golden Text—Jchn 1, 4. . Ott 4 - Logos is beyond any one English - word: it combines speech and the rea- son that prompts it, "The word of 1 God" (personified in Rev, 19. 13) i generally the gospel. But whit: logos may mean a "sermon," it can 81-1 so mean "science": compare "the- ology." The Evangelist takes up a! great term or Greek philosophy, which in seeking for the ultimate element out of which all things were made at last found it in Mind. But he is re- calling at last equally the Jewish per- sonification of the creative Word of Gen. 1. The author of Prov. 8 pictures 1 Wisdom as with God "Christ creation; and thoughtfor Christian er of God and the Wisdom of God'' more than fulfilled these highest ideals of Jew and Gentile alike, 2.

When time is no object, the best way to clear land from timber growth is to let nature and live stock assist. When the growth is removed and the burned off clean, which, with most grovrths, maybe made a profit- able operation by the sale of the tim- ber and firewood, clover and grass seesi sown, , , l and sheep are pasturing and eating down the sprouts, the stumps will slcwly Y MI5, a removal becomes an easy operation. This process will require from six to ptelenteycle.ars before clearing can be com- At the Experimental Station, Fred- ericton, N.B., where it was desired to bring the land into cultivation at the earliest possible moment, two plans of stump removal have been tried, and herewith are given figures of the rela- tive cost on land from which an aver- age tree growth had been removed. Tho two methods employed were: stump pulling by power, and removal by dynamite. A stump puller of the drum and long lever type was employed, giving a lifting power of 25 tons with an ordinary team. With one hundred and twenty stumps, 10 inches and over, to the acre, and seventy-two smaller stumps, it required an aver- : aangde odf. twenty minutes with a team cl two each of the large stumps and 5 min: utes to remove each of the smaller Theonea 120q • hours, and the smaller ones 6 hours, ; The relative cost, therefore, stood as follows: Where power machinery was used, cost per acre was: 44 hours 'work, t,ant and driver 12e $ 14 .4.1 330 no 0:: ho::::111:ss ,),,,,04.11,c., elleelf;ielln,sg. astmliSle,fi 00 houinrga wuter\c0,0burning at 10010 50 55 40 5101 41 Where e:;Plualves were -used, the cost Per acre was: 150 the. stumping powder at $14.S0 150 lbs. stumping. powder at 890 cal8,1s4.a1"; 51 500 feet fuse at 00e $' .5 Ins of i t le 1140 a 00 49 hours. labor of dynamite 0P. orator at 22e ....., , . 40 hours, team and driver at * 32, 12 n ,a 20 50 hours, helpers at 1St, y d 40 - A good dressing for fruit salad is a made of a cup of whipped cream with ✓ two teaspoonfuls of French dressing added to it. 1 When making an apple pie, sift a f little flour over your apples before putting on the top crust and the juice ; Will not cook out. , The oil left from sardines is a good substitute for butter in fishballs or t any kind of minced f h ? To have blooming geraniums in win- ter, keep them in small pots all sum- mer. When you take them into the house in the fall do not re -pot them, • When making apple pie the flavor is much improved and the apples will! keep in good color if a few drops of lemon juice are squeezed over them just before the crust is put on Charcoal is a cleansing agent in the kitchen. A lump of charcoal put in any jar keeps the contents sweet and purified, for the charcoal absorbs un- pleasant odors and iMpurities. A lump on each shelf of the icebox is also useful. Cracks in Plaster—A good filling is plaster of paris mixed with vinegar, which will not set for twenty or thirty minutes, while water will set very quickly, often before you can use it. The putty -like mass must be pushed into the cracks and can be smoothed off evenly with a table knife. To clean irons rub them on brown paper over which powdered bath brick has been sprinkled, and if they become rusty, rubbing them with emery powder and a little paraffin will put them right. But table salt sprinkled on several thicknesses of strong paper, over which you work the heated iron is just as good as any- thing. To Freshen Gilt Frames.—Dust gilt frames carefully, then wash with one ounce of soda beaten up with the whites of three eggs. Where serateh- ed, patch up with gold paint. To clean oil paintings use castile soap and water, very carefully applied, Gilt may aleo be brightened by adding to a pint or two of water sufficient floW- er of sulphur to give it a golden tinge. In this boil knit or five onions or a quantity of garlic. Strnin off the liquid, and wash the gilding avith a soft brush. When dry it will look like new avork, High Price for gtamp. the Father being the original Source. Without him—It is the same word as in John 15. 5, "apart from me ye can' do nothing." Read here, "Apart from him not even one thing came into be- ing. That which hath come into be- ing was lifejn him." Note how often life appears where we might expect alive: the self -propagating quality of life is always in thou ht never stop- ping with one object, but passing it- self on. It is rather attractive to con- nect in him with the rec cl• verb, and understand that "all which has been born in him" has this great qual- ity of life. Tho light—Life and Light are the two great words of this Gospel, land the Epistle which accompanies it: ' they meet in Love, which is the es- sence of God. 5. Overcome (margin)—The same phrase in John 12. 86, "lest darkness overtake you": what possessed our translators to take the other sense of the verb here, and what the meaning may. be, are mysteries. Darkness may "overcome" us, but never the Light, which is eternal. 6. These three verses prepare for verse 15, the report of the witness for the sake of which John was born. Note that in this case the Fore -runner was like his Lord, who in John 18. 37 de- clares that he was born and came into the world that he might "bear witness to the Trath." And He to whom John "bore witness" is himself the Truth. 8. The negative points to the strong and repeated disclaimers of John, who even long after his death was still be- lieved to have been the Messiah (Acts 19. 8). 9. Coming into the world refers to the light (compare again John 18. 87). The universality of the Light is here expressed most strikingly. Every hu- man being has some glimmer of the True Light, and that Light is the Word. 10. He was—The masculine prelim.' in this verse comes in to tell us that the Light, like the Word, is no ab- straction, but a Person. Moreover, he was in the world: the statement that he was coming into it does not mean 1 Trucks and Trailers. The old Roman roads, \Odell are eon t stantly referred to a if made to effect a general improvemen in the highways of this and othe countries, are not brought into eom parison because they were simply goo roads, but rather because they gas an easy means of transportation to build up tremendous savings in the The Romans =eath: flitZttOPZ:e that if the city and ountry could be brought into the el est and easiest communication, that a general pros- perity would inevitably accrue. Of course, they always had the idea of war in the back -ground, and knew that when armies could be transported readily, success was always cloeest at hand. The paramount though, never- theless, was easy access to outlying districts. This being true, there is now no doubt that a further step is being taken by progressive farmers in the purchase and maintenance of trucks and trailers, in order that the cost of transportation may be brought down to a minimum. A good road is always a well -travelled one, no matter what class of vehicular traffic is popu- lar, but if in Canada we can combine good roads with minimum transporta- tion charges, we have gone a long way towards a money -making era such as never yet h been• d. Motor Trucks. 1 Motor trucks are being used, at the present time, by many farmers engag- ed in the fruit, dairy, creamery, cheese and allied industries. ,Sometimes these trucks are purchased new, direct from the manufacturers or their agents, at pries ranging all the way from $750 to $5,000, but in most cases the machines are either purchased second hand, after having been replac- ed by new ones in city work, or a pas- senger automobile is torn down and a truck body placed upon the chassis. Both systems find many advocates, and both bring varying degrees of sat-' isfaction. If you have never used a truck, it might be well to go slowly at first, but the system that we suggest would bo the purchase of an old pas - sen er • with e body but g et, s are ard make and in satisfactory running condition. You san • I body intact and place a new truck body on the frame or pursue the simpler method of talc.' ing off the rear seat and building a platform instead. This will leave the front seat for the driver and passeng- er. Such a step should provide a truck of from 1,000 to 2,500 lbs, cepa., . ty for from $000 tip. There are a great many arguments in favor of hard tires, but we believe that the farmer will find that the pneumatic tires give . grea satisfaction, as, th enee to com- municate stiff jars and jolts to the! motor. Hard truck tires are econo-! mica! where the pavements and roads re very smooth and even, but they I do not attain maximum results in country running. If you employ a , , man to operate your truck, it might be well to have a governor placed o t the engine in order that his speed ma r i never begreaterthan twenty miles a hour, This is going to prevent ac d clients that would inevitably occur t G1 -1 the truck if it was operated at big IAVIATORS LOST IN BUSH.

The only patch at all O clear was a little to our right, so I • made for that and landed. e ; No there we were, 50 mile! from incident to the actual handling o freight, It can be stated, in a gen • eral way, that if a trailer is attacked to a truck, it will draw about the sam load as it carries itself between the capacity of one ton to five tons, bu many trucks of less than one ton cap acity, will draw a trailer with a heav ler load. Passenger cars are a differ ent proposition, but it will be very . one anter bottle. "On the third afternoon we literal- ly staggered into native kraal, clean • done in.

It is folly, of course, to draw a trailer with a load that is too heavy for the car, as damage, through strain, may resuts to the mechanism , of the automobile. There are a few points regarding the trailer proposi- tion that are worthy of your attention. On muddy, slippery and sandy roads an automobile must of necessity, re- duce its speed greatly when drawing a trailer. The reduction on good roads can be safely estimated at about 15 per cent. You must remember, • t. trailer, and so lessening its speed,! PILES OF GERMAN DEAD. will nevertheless deliver twice the quantity of goods that might otherwise!

That about 1,500 Germans were attached to buffer springs that take up jolts and vibration. There is one other point that we must emphasize, and that is the ease with which trail- ers can be loaded. If you have a great deal of hauling to do, and can- not see your way clear to invest in a truck, it may pay you very well to purchase two 'trailers, one of which can be in the process of loading while your passenger automobile is deliver- ing the other to any destination.
