While honey is one of the choicest

compound in motor cars. It does

linders with carbon and 'so polluting

Marketing Cull Potatoes
The results of a series of feeding
tests at .the Dominion Experimental
Station at Charlottetown, P,E.1., pro-
vides some interesting information as
to the cash value of cull potatoes and
turnips when fed to' steers in differ-
ent ways. Otherthingsin ration cost
being equal, a lot of steers fed `cull
potatoes at a rate of twenty-five lbs,
per steer per day showed a return of
fifteen dollars per ton or forty-five
cents per bushel. The returns front.
feeding turnips ranged from 16.5
cents per bushel when fed at the rate
of forty pounds per steer per day to
29.7 cents per bushel when fed at the
rate of fifteen pounds per steer per
day, and 26.8 cents per bushel when
fed at the rate of twenty-five pounds
per steer per day. These values are
a Pretty strong incentive to feed tur-
nips and cull potatoes to short keep
steers; in fact in a season of low
prices fairly satisfactqry returns may
be• realized through marketing the en-
tire potato crop in this way.
Use Registered Males
Good breeding practice in i oultry
has long recognized the value of the
highly prepotent male bird in build-
ing up flock production. When the
farmer or poultryman can raise the
average production of the pullet flock
120 eggs to 150 or 160 eggs per bird
in a flock of 100 pullets the "real cash
value of the high quality male bird
is immediately apparent. In the whole
scheme of the National Poultry Pol-
icy the Registered cockerel alone has
the proven ability best suited to in-
creasing pullet production. These
cockerels are bred from two direct
lines of females which have laid 200
eggs or more in one df the Canadian
Egg Laying contests. In addition to
volume these dams have proven cap-
acity for egg size as well. And what
ie most important, every registered
cockerel has been bred from a fully
matured hen. They are the cream of
production bred poultry. Department
of Agriculture, Ottawa.
Making More Butter
The current newsletter o fthe Do -
Branch states: "The calculated butter
production in Canada during the
eight months ending August 1931
shows an increase of 29,289,660 lbs.,
or 15.1 per cent. over the correspond-
ing period last year." Production of
creamery butter in Ontario showed
an increase of 20:63 per cent for Au-
gust 1931 and an increase of 16,45
per cent. for the eight months per-
iod as compared with last year. Man-
itoba reports an increase of 32.8 per
cent in fat received by creameries for
September 1931 as compared with
last year, Saskatchewan shows an in-
crease of 1,797,475 pounds or 39.5 per
cent in production of creamery but-
ter for 1931 as compared with last
year. Alberta figures show an in-
crease of 13.9 per cent. in receipts of
fat at creameries for September 1931,
and an increase •of fat for the first
nine months of 30,1 per cent. over
the same period last year.
Prefer Standard Bales
Canadian fanners are doing a lot
of damage to their export hay market
by the persistent practice of putting
up hay in too large bales, according
to a Prominent hay buyer in Massa-
chusetts who has written about the
matter to officials of the Federal Seed
Branch at Ottawa. Bales should
weigh an average of 120 pounds, he
states, whereas the Canadian baled
hay at present averages around 150
pounds. Not only is the lighter bale
in greater demand, but it is less like-
ly to be damaged.—"I have had a lot
of trouble with heavy pressed hay"
he states. This dealer also gives a
timely warning of the serious loss
and damage to hay which is pressed
"wet." Last year the importer referr-
ed to sold 800 carloads of Canadian
hay, largely from, Quebec. What he
has to say is worth heeding.

ceived by the Department of Agri-
culture at Ottawa of the acceptance

proyal" policies for poultry, This
marks a further step in the fuller de-
velopment of the poultry industry on
a truly :national basis. The "Approv-
al policies" include Record of Per-
formance for poultry, Flock Approv-
al, Cockerel Approval, Hatchery Ap-
proval and approved chick produc-
timit. The farm flock .is finding an
increasingly important place as a
"cash crop" in Saskatchewan, where..
"egg" and "meat" production com-
bine to' form a .farm industry which
is rapidly growing in importance:
Oldest Forage, Plant
While alfalfa is oneof the oldest
fodder plants there is at present no
plant known which can compete with.
it in nutritive value and general im-
portance for feeding according to the
manual of Fodder and Pasture Plants
prepared by the Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture, It is relished
by all kinds of stock which eat it,
and alfalfa exceeds even red clover in
nutritive value and protein content.
The feeding value of alfalfa was rec-
ognized in Persia long before the
Christian era, and it was highly es-
teemed by the Arabs. It is believed
to have originated in Asia 'probably
in the south-western parts; certainly
it has been grown in ,Persia from time
immemorial and is perhaps the old-
est forage plant in the world. It was
brought into Greece about 500 B.C.
and from. these spread to Italy. It.
came to Western Europe by way of
Northern Africa, the Arabs carrying
it into Spain in the seventh century
and from there it found its way into
France. It wasintroduced into Mex-
ico by the Spaniards whence it spread
tc the United States and South Am-
erica, while English and other colon-
ies introduced it in the eastern parts
of North America. Its popularity as
a fodder crop is justly earned and its
use is rapidly expanding throughout
Canada.
Bean Growers' Guide.
A valuable contribution to a rap-
idly growing farm industry is now
available with the release for free dis-
tribution of a bulletin on "Beans"
prepared iy the Division of Horit-
culture of the Dominion Experimen-
tal Farms. Complete technical des-
criptions of each of the twenty-five
varieties selected by the vegetable
committee of the Canadian Seed
Growers' .Association as the most out-
standing are provided. Beans of ,sim-
ilar type have been grouped insofar
as they conform to the type standard
description and both the type name
and its varied synonyms are listed.
Included in the standard type descrip-
tion range are the five principal type
groups, the dwarf or bush bean, the
green podded varieties, the brood
bean varieties, the dwarf lima variet-
ies. The bulletin is profusely illus-
trated and includes water colour
drawings of the bean of each of the
seteeted standard types,
SHE HAD TO CRAM.
TO BED
One stair at a tine—on her hands
and knees --that was how she had to
do it. And when she did get to bed,
her troubles were not over,
Twelve months no I could not
sleep on account of the terrible pains
in my knees, and I: might say in all my
joints. At night I could only crawl up
to bed, one stair at a time. But since
taking 1 rusclten Salts regularly, I have
entirely lost all pains eertd stiffness,
and, if needed, could now run upstairs
two at a time. In fact, I feel 10 years

Kruschen Salts."—Mrs. A., E. D.
Do you realise what causes rheu-
matism ? Nothing but sharp -edged
uric acid crystals which form as the
result of sluggish eliminating organs.
Kruschen Salts can always be counted
upon to clear those painful crystals
from the system. The six salts in
1(rusehen are bound to dissolve away
all traces of uric aeid. And more !
They ensure such perfect internal
regularity that no such body poisons
as urio .acid are ever able to rreenniulate
igein. Prove this for yourself by
buying a bottle of l(ritschen,

A FRUITFUL MINISTRY,
And he entered into the synagogue,
How hopeful was " Paul; never des-
pairing of his own people, always ex-
pecting them to receive the good
news of their Messiah, in .spite of
their repeated rejection of Him at
Antioch of Pisidia and the nearby cit-
ies, at Thessalonica and at Corinth!
Yet it was from Jews that he always
received His first converts, who aid-
ed Hina to build up His work among
the Gentiles, And spake boldly for
the space of tlu•ee months. Boldness
was needed to proclaim God's truth
in the face of one of the greatest cit-
ies in the world, a city whose abom-
inations and its very existence were
to fall before. the doctrines taught by
the apostle. Reasoning and persuad-
ingas to the things concerning the
kingdom of God. Then, Paul and his
helpers were conversing with inquir-
ers at every favorable opportunity,
and all over the great city,
But when some were hardened and
disobedient. Their Hearts were plain-
ly fixed in their evil ways, refusing
to obey God's call to repentance and
faith in the Lord Jesus. Speaking ev-
il of• the Way before the multitiude,
"The Way" was the common name
for' Christianity, being derived from
our Lord's saying that He was "the
way, the truth, and the life." He
departed from them, and separated
the disciples. The separation was ne-
cessary in order to hold the Christ-
ian Jews, who might not be able to
resist the pressure constantly brought
against them by the unbelieving Jews.
Reasoning daily in the school of Ty-
rannies. The new place of worship
gave him the advantage of being able
to meet the brethren daily, whereas
in the synagogue this was only pos-
sible three times a week."
And this continued for the space
of two years. Paul's whole stay in
Ephesus lasted for three years (Acts
20:31)—his longest stay in any one
city. So that all they that dwelt in
Asia heard the Word of the Lord.
Doubtless Paul took journeys here
and there away from Ephesus, found-
ing many churches. Both Jews and
Greeks. The apostle did not cease his
work for the Jews after leaving .the
synagogue, but labored for them as
earnestly as for the Gentiles.
SCEVA'S SONS.
And God wrought special miracles
by the hands of Paul. These miracles
at Ephesus were special, extraordin-
ary.
Insomuch that onto the sick were
carried away from his body hanker-
chiefs. or aprons. It is possible that
these handkerchiefs and aprons were
brought to Paul, that he night touch
them, by those who desired •to be
cured," And the diseases departed
from then., and the evil spirits went
out. Paul, in that city of malse mag-
ic, was given genuine powers to prove
the superiority of his religion.
13ut certain also of the strolling
Jews, exorcists. These Jews, wand-
ering from place to place, pretended
to cure diseases by solemnly pro-
nouncing over the suffers magical
words or longer charms, an art for-
bidden in their own scriptures. Took
upon them, to name over them that
had the evil spirits the name of the
Lord Jesus. They were of the same
class as Simon, the sorcerer of Sa-
maria; see Acts 8:9-24. Elymas in
Cyprus was another Jewish sorcerer
(Acts 13:6-12). Saying, I adjure you
by Jesus whom Paul preacheth, They
saw Paul actually doing what they
only pretended to do, and thought
that the apostle's power resided in
the words he used, having no con-
ception of the Holy Spirit.
And; there were seven sons of one
Sceva, ,a Jew, a chief priest, who did
this, Sceva may have been at some
time the head of one of the courses
of priests at Jerusalem.
And the evil spirit •answered and
said unto them, Jesus I know, and
Paul I know; but who are ye? The
demon knew Jesus as the conquer-
ing power before which he trembled,
and Paul as the agent and servant of
that power; he had no fear of the
Jewish impostors.
And the ratan in whom the evil
spirit was leaped on them, and mast-
ered both of them. Thus incidentally
it is made known that only two of
the seven ,sons were preset;t, indicat-
ing special knowledge of the event
obtained by Luke from Paul, And

thing from them and beat them, driv-

THE BONFIRE OF`BAD BOOKS.
And this became known to all,
both Jews and Greeks, that dwelt at
Ephesus. Certainly the sons of Sceva
would not publish the incident, but
the Christians would relate it, and
others would quickly spread abroad
the remarkable story. And fear fell
upon them all, and the name of the
Lord Jesus was magnified. There
were many exorcists and other char-
latans in Ephesus, and they would be
the first to fear the new and very real
power with which they were con-
fronted.. Then all that heard it
would be touched with the awe that
is always produced by the supernat-
ural. And finally, after thoughtful
consideration, it would be seen that
the event showed the pre-eminence
of the Lord Jesus, that He was real-
ly what He claimed to be, the Son
of the Most High. God.
Many also of them that had believ-
ed. They had "joined the church,"
making'a public confession of Christ,
brat evidently their faith was imper-
fect, they . had not been "soundly
converted.'
Confessing, and declaring their
deeds. Some of them, doubtless, had
continued to use magic, and were ter-
rified by the punishment which had
fallen on the sons of Sceva.
And not a few of them that prac-
tised magical arts. "Literally, `things
over and above' what is necessary,
and so of magical arts, arts in which
a man concerns himself with what
has not been given hint to know."
Brought their books together and
burned them in sight of all. "The
books which contained their myster-
ies, formulas of incantations, nost-
rums, and the like. The Greek 'burn-
ed' describes them as throwing book
after book into the blazing pile," And
they counted the price of then, and
found it fifty thousand pieces of sil-
ver. Greek drachmas, Roman den-
arii, worth from fifteen to seventeen
cents each, or a total of about $8,000
equal in purchasing value to -day to
about $100,000. The books were rare
and were regarded by the superstit-
ious as exceedingly precious.
So mightily grew the word of the
Lord and prevailed. The power a$
the gospel over human hearts kept
on increasing, more and more over-
cc•ming the many evils in that wicked.
and foul city.
