national special train gives some in dication youth predominated and most of the excursionists were women and girls they carried all sorts of baggage from de luxe valises to pocketsize parcels and

corn roast and com roasts should be the vogue now tjiat canadas own sweet corn sun- ripened to tketlelds js available and just begging to be eatsn the chief ingredients of a successful corn roast are a group of congenial people a suitable location preferably a beach a roaring bonfire plenty of corn butter salt and a good appetite there are two ways of cocking the corn the simplest and the method preferred by most people is to pal off he husks transfix the ear with pointed sticks and hang them in the flame of anotherway is-4o- take along a boiling kettle or cauldron or even an empty gasoline tin with a wire handle and boll the ears all to gether strickly speaking this is noi a corn roast but it has the advantage that all the cars are ready for eating y at the same time so that those in charge of operations may sit down and enjoy the fee with the other members of the party the fatherinlaw of moses but seer v and cf ex 2 1621 3 1 18 1 2 moses l made a commendable effort to get hobab to cast in his lot with gods people cf john 1 46 4 29- rev 22 17 we should say to everyone we can influence come thou with us mark 16 15 we have something better to promise than moses had moses bad two good reasons for his invitation 1 we are journeying unto the place of which jehovah said x wfll give it to you eff gen 12 7 it was then a sure country and it was a good country ex 3 8 but we are journeying- to a country just as sure and infinitely better heb 11 16 10 13 14 john 14 2 rev chs 21 22 2 we will dotbei good we can promise that also to all who will go with us moses ground for assurance that they could do good to hobab was that jehovah had promised to do good to them moses had nothing torestruponbut the nakedpromise jof god all that tjhfi eye could see was ithe waste howling wilderness deut 32 10 the good that jehovah hath spoken concerning israel still stands and will be fulfilled again and more fully romans 11 2629 he bath spoken still better concerning the church see ephesjans it was sure there were yet many disagreeable things between israel and the promised land but they would not be of any account in com parison with that goodly country ro 8 18 2 cor 417 18 it required more faith in jehovahs promise than he possessed in hobabs part to accept the invitation so he said i will not go john 5 40 matt 23 37 his reason for declining was love for hlsown land and his own kindred it is love for the world and love for kindred that keep many from the heavenly country to day hobab made a foolish choice the choice must often be made between christ and kindred matt 10 37 it is the test of separation that proves tod severe for many a modern hobab moss held on to him and made another effort to save him hobabs refusal had been very positive but that did not discour age moses and ought not to discourage us moses changed mis form of argu ment he argued that hobab ought to go with them not only for the good he could get but for the good he could do it is legitimate to use such an argument in pleading with men to come to christ satt 4 19 moses did not really need hobab for eyes or for a guide num 9 1523 deut 1 32 33 ex 20 6 ex 31 14 it is difficult to say whether moses was seeking mereiyto catch hobab for god or whether there really was a leaning on the arm of flesh we today find a certain comfort and satisfaction when we have the backing and counsel of some experlencedfellow creature while we tremble and falter to move forward in naked faith in the unseen god alone yet we have far more proofs than moses had of the allsufficiency of qod and his word the promise of divine guid ance even when perfectly trusted will not lead a man to despise human coun sel and advice gal 2 2 eph 4 11 12 moses final premise to hobab is worthy of careful study v 32 it is gods intention that we pass on to others whatsoever goodness the lord shall do unto usvu peter 4 10 hobab seems to have yielded at last to moses persis tent work judges u 16 r v 4 11 r v if hobab did yield he had nothing to go on but the naked word of god cf heb 11 8 ni marching to canaan 3336 whether hobab went along or stayed behind israel had the cloud and the ark to go before both were types of christ john 8 12 12 20 the usual place for the ark was in the midst of the people cf 2 17 it went before now to seek out a resting place for them jesus usual place is in the midst of his people and he is in the centre matt 18 20 but he has gone ahead to seek us out a t p 1 2 3 heb a 2 the ark and the oloud cf jehovah and jehovah himself were a much better guide than hobab deut 32 1012 the cloud was not only for guidance but for shelter and light also ps 105 39 jesus also is not only a guide but light and shelter god is ready to guide us as surely as clearly and as safely as he guided israel pro 3 5 6 he does it by his word ips 119 105 and his for ten years crop fertility experiments have been conducted at the central ex perimental farm ottawa to a plot field where thk soil was a sandy loam in a comparatively high state of fertility in a rotation of turnips oats clover imottty 500 pounds of basic slag applied to the turnip crop in addition to 16 tons per acre of manure was followed by a 10 year average jjjeld of 8928 bushels as crops following the turnips showed prac- ticallyoio influence from treatments with basic slag in this field complete commercial fer tilizers applied to potatoes in a rotation of potatoes oats clover hi light medium and heavy applications 450 pounds 900 pounds and 1800 pounds respectively have been followed by no greater yields from the medium and heavy applications than from the light fertilizer twelve tons per acre of manure has produced slightly higher yields than have com merclal fertilizers basic slag and nitrate of soda applied to clover in a rotation of com oats clover timothy have not been followed by economical increases in yield in a second field manure and commer cial fertilizers have been compared from he standpoint of their influence upon crop yield jb a rotation of mangels oats clover timothy for a period of 20 years both manure- andcommerclal have produced profitable increases in crop yields manure has shown up to slightly better advantage wherever it has been used whether alone or in combina tion with commercial fertilizer oats have shown the least response to either commercial fertilizer or manure of any or the crops under consideration while mangles suffer from lack of fertility sooner than the other farm crops prom the results of these experiments several main points present themselves 1 where soil is relatively high in fer- naturally followed routes best known and accessible at the time and thus in his torical and other works the routes most frequently mentioned are those in the lake st john region the building of the transcontinental line of the canadi an national railways and the prospect ing activity in the chibougamau area however have brought into prominence an interesting route leading north from oskelaneo a rail journey of 284 miles northwestward from quebec or a little over 300 miles from montreal takes the traveller to the starting point where the canoe is launched for a trip that leads ever north to lake mlstasslni or if desir ed on to hudson bay lakes s reams and but two short port ages take one over the first ten miles of the trip north from the railway then the bureau lakes whose water level is maintained by the gcuin dam on the st maurice river afford a connected chalrp cf laekland waterways avfthout portages for the next sixty miles beyond this lakeland the route passes through a heavily wooded country where there are charming lakes that are not too large to cross in windy weather and where all but the easiest rapids are passed by portage trails campsites are usually located at these portages owing to the heavy forest growth streams ponds portages and all the essentials of an enjoyable canoe trip are fund in journeying north to the height- ofiand across which a portage trail leads to lake obatagamau with its multitude of islands long crooked points and in tricate bays a few miles onward lake chicougamau is reached and beyond is lake makonichi then a few short port ages are made the canoe glides into lake mistassini to clean it of course tfllty commercial fertilizers may not pro- duce profitable increases in crop yield 2 where manure is abundant its ap plication to the soil 1s the most econom ical means of maintaining and building up soil fertility 3if manure is limited it may be supplemented with commercial fertilizers to exeellrnt advantage 4 where no manure is available soil fertility may be maintained by the rise of commercial fertilizers alone human business frailty the shop owner or merchant who finds fault with the way the other fellow is doing business qule frequently is the man who himsrf is constantly doing things opposite to rales that are best for the community most every line of busi ness today is confronted with some prob lem or another pertaining to competition it is really good that the business world revolves on principles of his sort with out them we would all become stale there would be no pep or enthusiasm and we would be a lazy and indolent tot a community where merchants refuse to trade with one another is a weak spt yet there are places like this the money left at home would be utilized by home folks over and over again once it is transferred from the locality to a larger centre it is lost to the pool perhaps never to return a sad thought and it reads almost like an obituary it is slow death to a community merchants in larger centres will have little need for spending money to the small towns and they dont propose to do so they are however batting small town citizenry constantly and thereby sapping the strength from smaller communities why be weak and fall for it wjhat can be done about it united action on the part of merchants will help j patronize the other business man when he sells something out of your line if you sell groceries dont look for a cheaper wholesaler to sell you a suit of clothes at cost etc pay your neighbor his reasonable prcflt he could perhaps buy groceries at wholesale if he tried the same is true in the printing field the small town merchant who spends gaonoy to have printing done away
