Jewish patriots by Charles Wesley, for children, denounced the paying of taxes to the which souse of us were taught in Roman Government, especially be- childhood: cause they had to be paid in Roman coins which bore an them the image of the Roman emperor, which was an added offence. The image of the em- peror seemed a breach of the Second Commandment. The question was skilful, If Jesus said tribute should not be paid, they would report him to Piila'te. If he said tribute should be paid, they 'would proclaim hhn to the people -as a traitor to his land and race. Why tempt ye me? Why seek to entrap me by 'cunning?

That sense of the gracious kindness of Josue grows into the redeeming trust in his pity. That divine pity that wrought our salvation on Calvary', And a true thought of Christ never outgrows either one or the other. But many other things are added to our thought of Jesus. It comes al - ped dire Milking should be done regularly, that is, at regular hours each day. Thej majority of dairymen milk twice daily, morning and evening. On farms where dairying is carried an in conjunction with other farm work, milking is gen- erally done between five and six in the morning and about the same hours at night. I find these hours best suited on my farm where dairying is a part of 'the general farm work. However, if it is more convenient to milk at 1other ]yours, system and regularity should be practiced, The first step in milking rows is Lo get ready. The stable should bo elaan and free from odor and .lust. Loose particles of dirt should be carefully` blushed from the miller and flanks with a clean dry cloth. It has been niy experience that cows properly stabled will seldom have their udders and rear parts soiled, and washing. isi not necessary unless strictly high! quality of milk 13 being produced. Quietnese about the stable at milk- ing time is essential in getting all the' milk and butter -fat cows will produce. Loud talicing, abusive language will cut production. The process of giving down milk is largely controlled by the nervous system and any local excite- ment during milking is apt to effect the milk yield. While milling at Forest Grove Farm we talk in a normal tone- of oneof voice and work' among the cows in a gentle way. No two milkers milk just alike, theeefare the same milkers should milk the same tows regularly. Cows are creatures of habit .and quickly notice any -change in management. .Fast milking is more acceptable to the caw than slow milking. If ev cow takes kindly to the milker and the milking is done in a -businea«s-like manner the milk -secreting systera will develop to maximum milking capacity. Milking cows dry is essential. When milk is left in the udder after each rehiring, the glands will gradually slow up en secreting milk and ultimately the cow will dry up. I find that it pays to spend a few extra minutee stripping the udder to make eerb in that all the milk has been extracted. When milking I milk the front two quartere first," extrtacting about half the ameunt, then milk the rear guars tern hi the same Manner. I do not know as this has any particular influ- ence upon milk production, but I do know that the cow milks much better and gives down her, milk more freely. Part of the year I use a milking ma- chine. The machine is very saddens tory.—Leo C. Reynellds."

They fur- nish an incentive and interest which is most beneficial and wholesome. With this we should furnish them wholosonse reading and enjoyment, for their hours of pleasure should be directed as well as their time at sea foam endeavor. When we do these things we not only benefitour children but we find it a pleasure to see thein develop, and besides we are doing our share to make the next generation better than • ours, Cattle for the British Market. It is hardly possible that Canada will be able to talce instant and full advantage of the prospects opened to her by the removal of the British embargo on her cattle, but watchful- ness and diligence will not be long in bringing the reward. According to a statement issued by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, Great Bri- tain imports from 700,000 to 800,000 live cattle annually. From now an it is for the breeding interests of this country to determine how great a, share of this business sha:'1 be theirs. There is one sure and certain thing, and that is that only by supplying the right type and duality can anything definite and in any way lasting' be ac- complished. 'Store battle for the Brit- ish.
