And of whomsoever 1 say unto thee,
This shall not go with then, the same
shall not go. The Lord can discern

encies that are hidden from us lie
clearly open before his omniscience.
So he brought down the peoples un-
to the water, He was to make there
one of the most remarkable tests of
history, one full instruction regard-
ing both wren and God. And Jeho-
vah said unto Gideon, Every one that
lappeth of. the water with his tongue,
as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set
by himself, Various explanations
have been given of the methods of
drinking mentioned, The • only one
that seems to satisfy the text as it
stands is that the three hundred took
water in their hands and licked it up-
as a dog laps, and that the rest bent
down on their hands and drank dir-
ectly from the stream. Likewise ev-
ery one that boweth down upon his
knees to drink. The bulk of the sol-
diers got 'down on their knees and
leisurely slaked their thirst.
And the number of them that lap-
ped, putting their hand. to their
mouth, was three hundred men. The
three hundred heroes had God hith
them, and that was enough, But
the rest of the people bowed down•
upon their knees to .drink water. ,Do
we belong to "all the rest?" Are we
with the big majority who lead easy
lives, never lifting their hands to lift"
the worlds heavy burdens, their souls
never' heavy with the World's sor-
row?
And Jehovah said unto .Gideon, By
the three hundred men that lapped
will I save you, and deliver the Mi-
dianites into • thy hand. The Lord
would. send no more than three han-
dred Israelites against those hordes
of lieatheris. And let all the.
.
ie people
go every man unto his place, Alt the
others, all but the three hundred,
were to go home,
THE SWORD OF JEHOVAH AND
OF GIDEON. ;'
And he divided the three hundred
men into three companies. Thus the
lfidianites would feel that they were
attacked by :a great host. And he
put into the hands of all of them
trumpets. The trumpets were rams'
horns, hollow, and making a hideous
blast when blown. And empty pitch,
ers, with torches within the pitchers.
Christians may well follow Gideon's
example and go forth into the world
with the simple equipment of the
Word of God, ,the sword of the Spir-
it wliicit, with prayer, is mighty to
tale pulling down of strongholds.
And he said unto thein, Look on
me, and do likewise. A true leader
of men must be prepared to set him-
self up as an exainple. And behold,
when I come to the tutermost part
of the camp. Of the :t1idianties'
camp. It shall be that, as I do, so
shall ye do. Then, when the leader
breaks his pitcher, flourishes his
torch, and blows his trumpet, they
are

\Mien I blow the trumpet, I and
ail that are with me, then blow ere
the trumpets also on every side of

Good Type Feeder Cattle Scarce,
Says. G, H. Duncan
"My observations of the past week,
said. Garnet l±1 Duncan, livestock in-
vestigator, Ontario Marketing board,'
"lead me to believe that there is a
very definite market awaiting the far-
mer who is willing to produce well-
bred feeder cattle."
Bearing out his contention, Mr.
Duncan said that, while travelling
through Western . Ontario lately, he
noticed a distressing lack of good.
type feeder cattle. This is the case
the such uch an extent that t e proper
type of feeder cattle brings a price
equivalent to, and in some instances
even higher, than that offered, for the
finished export animal.
He added that there also appears
to bo ascarcity of hand weight but-
cher cattle, for the local trade.

Receive More for Produce as Result
of Conference
The effect on Canadian agricultural
trade of preferences granted by Great
Britain, at the Imperial Conference,
was not readily appreciated when
sterling was depreciated, says S. IT.
Symons, Departmental Statician.
Since January of this year, howe'-
er, and more particularly in the last
mouth, the price of sterling in terms
of Canadian dolls has shown an al-
most sensational appreciation. From
January 9 of this year to July 10,
sterling rose from $3.76 to S4.98,
This means that producers au Ontar-
ict receive approximately one-third
more for their produce, without caus-
ing the British consutner any* increase
in price.
Canadian producers should apprec-
late tete advantage they ,;possess 'lax
the British market, made even more
profitable bye this latest rise' in Steri
ling; and every effort must be made
to establish a reputation of grades
and regularity of supply for Canad.

British importers,

Ontario Storage 'Poultry Below Five
Year Average
. Stocks of storage poultry are.
cleaning up quite well, states T. A.
Benson, Federal Department of Ag-
riculture, who is senior poultry pro-
moter in Ontario. There is less
poultry in cold storage than at this
time last .year and these stocks are
below the five year average. This is
particularly true of chickens, and the
prospects for a fair market for chick-
ens are good,
Producers would, be well advised
to work their crop off gradually
through the Suininer months instead
of selling them all of at the one tine
in the Fall.
There have been some Spring
chickens coming on the market dur-
ing the last week or so, mostly
broilers.
One important marketing factor
lost sight of by the shipper is that
poor, unfinished poultry is very de-
trimental from a general price stand-
point, particularly thin broilers, and
do not bring repeat orders, lacking
as they do in fat to give them flavor
and tender eating qualities. ` Rather.
than attempt to market too matey
chickens as broilers, a better plan
would be to .caponize the Leghorn
and keep the heavier breeds luntil
they could be finished as small roast-
ers. The demand should be extra.
good for 111illfed A and B grades of
fresh roasters throughout the sum -
finer months. Below Grade B the
quality is such as toconstitute a drug
an the market. One important thing
to remember is that chickens should„
be crate fattened for two or three
weeks before coming to market. The
higher grades willsell readily and
creafe increased demand. The lore
grades retard consumption and are
difficult to. sell.
Eastern Canada Hay Crop
•
According ccord ng to :reports received to
July lst, a short hay cropin' Eastern
Ontario and Quebec this year is in-
dicated.
This will be of particular interest
to the market hay trade which in
former years has drawn large sup-
plies from the districts where the
shortage will occur this year. It is
estimated' that the Quebec crop will
not exceed sixty per cent, of hist
year's crop, and in Eastern Ontario
the crop is estimated at from twenty-
five to fifty per cent. below normal.
Use of Sulphur
Snipiz'ur would seem to have but
little connection with horticulture,
and yet there are many uses for it
in the garden, declares./ F. Clark,
Horticultural Lecturer, Agricultural
Societies Branch. It is particularly
valuable in preventing mildew and
black spot on roses. It is most ef-
ficient when combined with arsenate.
of lead, nine -parts of sulphur to one
of the poison, making what is com-
monly called the Massey dust, This
preparation, or sulphur alone( is also
helpful in protecting, phlox and del-
phiniums from attacks of mildew. If
sweet peas show signs of -mildew,
they, too, should be dusted with sul-
phur. Mixed with arsenate of read,.
it is useful for dusting on cucumbers
and melons to keep away . striped'
beetles and flea beetles. It is impor-
tant, however; that the dust should
be the very finely ground kind ob-
tained at the seed store and not the
coarse sulphur sold in drug stores.

greater part of Ontario, according to
reports received from agricultural re-
presentatives. Nevertheless we hear
front Bruce County that a wonderful
crop of wheat has been cut and that
hay was one of the largest crops in
years and in almost perfect condition
but spring sown grains as in other
counties have suffered materially
from lack of inoisture. Peel County
:also had a bumper crop of high qual-
ity hay, but early potatoes and rasp-
berries were light crops due to lack
of rain while alfalfa seed crop was
practically a failure due to non -set-
ting,
In North Sitncoe livestock of all
kinds on many farms is showing the
effect of a shore pasture supply. In
Brant County raspberries were ,a
short crop, 'cherries fairly good and
currants and gooseberries fair, Root
crops there as in other districts are
not making very, great growth. Es-

bushels per acre with odd fields go-
ing as high as 40. Pastures are dry-

Essex also grows 500 acres of early

while potato yields are disappointing

ies in Western and. Southern Ontario
also report; .that crops will fall be-
low the average of the past few
years.
RENOVATING OLD
STRAWBERRY BEDS.
The most satisfactory, results with
Strni•.erry plantations are obtained
when only one full` crop is gathered,
If, • for instance, . plants are set nut
this spring, the plantation should be
ploughed up: after the fruiting season
of next year. By this system, much
better fruit is obtained as the plants
are not so thick in the row and the
soil can be kept freer of weeds.
However, if the land is free of
weeds, it is then quite possible to
obtain good . resultsby keeping a
plantation longer than one year. This
-usually entails a certain amount of
renovation at the end of the firat
fruiting season, The experience at
the Central Farm, Ottawa, has shown
that weeds give very little trouble
when the ground has been manttred
the year previous to planting and de-
pendence placed on fertilizers for
subsequent applications of plant -food,
Under such` conditions it is compare-
tively easy to renovate the beds..
The method is as follows: so soon
as the picking is over, the straw is
raked up and carried to one side o
the plantation. After this, each row
is ploughed or cut down to a width
of about. 18 .inches. The plants thus
ploughed up are then gathered up and
destroyed, and the cultivator run
through the rows: The _few weeds
growing among the remaining plants
are pulled by hand. As, -soon as this
cleaning up has taken place, an ap-
plication of nitrate of soda is made
tothe plantation at the rate 'of 200
pounds or -more to the acre. Sul-
phate of amonia would be satisfactory
only it is very difficult to broadcast
it over the plants without serious
burning. If used it should only be
put between the rows. Frequent cul-
tivation throughout the balance of the
year willusually result in the plan-
tation . going into winter quarters in
very good' condition.
When the old bed is grown upwith
iV h
grass and weeds, more drastic meas-
ures are necessary. In such instanc-
es, after the removal of the straw
the whole plantation is snowed and
the mei-wings s burned as quiclely as
possible. After this the rows are nar-
rowed down to about 1 foot in width
and the ploughed -out plants raked .up
and destroyed. This leaves a narrow
row of plants and weeds that can
then be hoed to leave clumps of
plants every 8 or 9"inches. In nar-
rowing the rows it is always well to
work from' one side of the plantation
so that the old raw is split down the
centre leaving the newer plants on
the outer edge as the remaining nar-
row strip. After this hoeing, an ap-
plication of nitrate of soda or manure i
ploughed in between the rows is give ' ,
en, followed by frequent cultivation.
Sonie growers after narrowing the
rows, do the cross -thinning by a har-
row or drag, and then finish off with
the hose and cultivator. In some
parts: of the Maritimes where plan-
tations fruit for many years and
where the rows are a little further
apart, the practice is'simply to plow
between the rows so as to leave a
wide furrow, which is filled with
manure. A cross -harrowing then cov-
ers this furrow with earth, This is
followed up with hoeing, hand weed-
ing and cultivating.
