About 12 macaroons will be required and 1% doben lady fingers. Put half the cream mixture into the mold, and a layer formed by the remaining macaroons, then the rest of the cream.

CLAY SOILS These Productive Soils Require Intellient Handling DRAINAGE ESSENTIAL In the proper handling of clay soils adequate drainage must bo provided, late summer or fall plowing should be practiced and the land must be worked only when it is dry enough not to puddle. For maintaining the fertility of clay, the liberal manure, the inclusion of legume crops in the farm rotation and, cases, the application of dressings of superphosphate (acid phosphate) desirable practices. Cereals and hay crops are especially well adapted to these fine-textured soils. While the ability to determine optimum moisture content for p-I< ing and other working of clay soil largely a matter of experience, so farmers follow the rule of plow when the soil is still moist enough to be moulded in the hand, but sufficiently free from excess moisture to crumble easily when the moulded- ball is struck. For the control of weeds, summer plowing of clay soil is advisable, followed by frequent working until late fall. Narrow lands with open well-cleaned furrows 30 to 40 feet apart, will provide surface drainage where underdrainage is unwarranted. Many clay farm;, however, have wet areas where tile-drainage would be profitable. Clay soils are often deficient in organic matter and if manure is not available in liberal amounts, thfe plowing under occasionally of a second crop of clover will increase their organic matter content. A broadcast dressing of 200 to 300 pounds of superphosphate per acre just before sowing cereal crops usually results in a profitable increase the yields of the cereals and of the clover crops which follow. The ts of such crops as grasses, clovers and cereals are able to make their way into the most dense clays and take advantage of the large -holding capacity of these soils. Alfalfa is also a very desirable crop for clay soil which has gcod natural or artificial drainage. Further information on the management of clay soils, as well as soils of other types, may be obtained by writing to the Publications Branch, Dept. of Agriculture, Ottawa, for a copy of Bulletin 72, New Series, or "Grop Rotations and Soil Management for Eastern Canada."

They were Mr. Black and Mr. Brown. They had not dropped down on us in a miraculous way from but had descended in quite normal manner from the tree-tops, both of these gentlemen were woolly monkeys (Lagothrix lnfumatus). They young, and had to be educated; but under proper guidance they grew in wisdom and soon conducted themselves like any other well-behaved members of society. It is quite a responsibility bringing up a monkey, and I am naturally reticent when it writing very much concerning these two bundles of agility, for it sounds rather like bragging about relations. Suffice to say that as Boon as they settled down to ay of living they were free to go and come as they pleased without being tied up at the end of a string. It was quite astonishing how quickly they took to their new surroundings. Meal-times became a circus after the advent of this pair. Their manners were perfectly disgarceful. Grabbing at this, and reaching out for that, they behaved just like a couple of savages which, in fact, is just what they were. Brown would sit up alongside the table, and at every mouthful I took, up went a black paw to intercept it. I cured him of the habit by keeping Introduction--Early in his reign Saul found himself in deadly conflict with the Philistines. These ancient neighbors and enemies of Israel had been for some years, while Samuel was judge, disposed to keep the peace. Now they became more aggressive. They appear to have occupied Gibeah, maintaining a fortified camp there, and holding the neighboring country in subjection (10:5, Revised Version Margin). This was Saul's own home town and a conflict was unavoidable. His brave and energetic son, Jonathan, made an attack on this Philistine po3t (ch. 13: 3-4, Geba-Gibeah), and t'-o Hebrews were called to war. The Philistines quickly responded to the challenge and came up into Saul's territory with a great armv. For the story of this war and its remits see chs. 3 and 14. The history tells us that the war continued "all the days of Saul," and that Saul established and na r.tained a mall b i effective and disciplined rlanding army, chs. 13:2; 14:52. The causes of the breach between Saul and Samuel are not difficult to discover. In the first place Saul was quite evidently r.ot of a religious turn of mind. When we first meet him we note the fact that he knows nothing of so famous a prophet as Samuel, although his servant, who accompanied knows him vey well, 9~:5-10. It matter of surprise to his friends he should have been found on one ■ion in a company of prophets, and "It became a proverb. Is Saul also among the prophets?" While, no doubt, profoundly influenced, and for a time changed, by the interest which Samuel took in him and the remarkable experience of being called and consecrated to the kingship (10:5-12). this influence soon passed and ur.de the stress of war his old jealous and imperious nature rengrerte' itself. The stories told in chapters 13 and 15 show plainly how he chafed under the restraint put upon him by Samuel, who assumed the right as God's prophet to bring him messages and commandments from God. To Samuel the divine kingship was still supreme, and the earthly king but God's vieeregent. Samuel set himself to maintain the theocracy, and when be saw that Saul cared little for the things for which he "ared much, he declared that God had rejected him from being king. In contrast to Saul, David proved to be the man after God's own heart. There is no doubt that Samuel, true prophet of God, trusted and beloved hv the p-sonlo, wise and far-seeing with the experience of many years of power and responsibility, would have added p-veat strength to Saul's kingdom had Saul been wise enough to retain his counsel and his friendship. It is pathetic how. in after years, when Sam-as dead, be bitterly regretted and vainly sough the counsel which rejected. I. samuel'S VISlT to bethlehem, 1-5. The breach between Samuel and iuI at Gilgal seems to have been final (see chap. 15). "Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death." They met again but once and that when Saul went to Ramah in pursuit of David and found Samuel there. But, the historian adds. "Samuel mourned for Saul; and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king Israel," 15:35. muel is now divinely commissioned to go to Bethlehem to find a successor to Saul among the sons of Jesse. This Jesse of Bethlehem was grandson of Boaz and Ruth, of whose marriage we are told in the book of Ruth "(see 4:18-22). Samuel goes upon his mission expecting to be guided by the same inward voice which had warned hiin of the coming of Saul, ch. 9:16-17.
