It is not remarkable that in 'al few years this particular "laborer" de- clared a "strike" and went off to the city for another job. oy Father understood another point that many farmers overlook; he knew that the income from.farming was) always less to a single man than to a married man with a family, while in the city it is just the opposite. For instance, in the city the single man would pay rent possibly for only 'a single room, while the man with the family would require many. Also, the married man would have a heavier food and fuel bill. So, on the same income, the single man fares better in the city than the married man. But and fuel are largely included in the total income: As the value of these are more to a man with a family than to a single man, the man with a family fares better on the farm than the single man. Knowing this fact, Father always sought to make my in- come as a single man on the farm equal 'to what I 'eould make in the city.

There is 'another reference t6 Peter's wife in 1 Cor. 9: 5. Her nother was evidently a beloved and kindly member of the family, Her first act when she was healed of the fever, was to minister to her daughter's guests. Luke (4: 88) calls her sickness "a great fever." There was much marshy land in that region, especially where the river Jordan enters the lake, and malarial fever was common. No doubt the healing ministry of Jesus entered many another home besides that of Peter. He is still the great Physician, teaching by His spirit, care and thought for all who suffer, and prompting the gentle ministry of doc- tor and nurse in the homes and hospi- tals of our land. "At even." When the sun set, ac- cording to their way of reckoning time, the Sabbath day was over. It was then lawful for them to carry their sick through the streets and bring them to the door of the house in which Jesus was staying. "He healed many." Such was the scene at the close of this busy day. The people lingered until darkness drove them to their honfes. "0, with what divers pains they met, 0, with what joy they went away!" Many forms of sickness in the East to the present day, are regarded as caused by the presence of evil spirits, and especially insanity and epilepsy Jesus was profoundly intevested in these poor 'sufferers, and restored many of them to sanity and health both of bod and mind. Our mission- aries in the East follow the example of Jesus, and they find through atten- tion to the sick and through the agency of hospitals and dispensaries an open door to the hearts of the peo- ple. Their ministry, like His, is in preaching, teaching, and healing; "In the morning." Although the Sabbath had been a busy day, and its activities prolonged until after sun- set, yet Jesus was awake in the early morning, and seeking a quiet place of retirement for His morning prayer to God. - Here, as always, He is an ex- ample to His disciples, showing the best way of beginning the day's work. are Psalm 5: 3, and Isa. 50: 4.

Every year boys make good pocket money 'trapping for this mem- ber of the animal kingdom, and if you are a novice at the game, here are a few suggestions about coons and coon trapping: Coons live either in hollow trees or in holes, when no trees can be found. They -are frequently foungt in corn- fields, too, They are possessed of great curiosity 'that often leads them into traps; for instance, a .shiny piece of tin, a bright piece of glass, or a piece of white crockery frequently acts as a fascinating lure. Many trappers use these to bait traps set in shallow Yater of streams that the coons fol- ow. . When you find a coon in a tree you may either shoot him or trap him. The way to trap him is to place your trap on a sturdy sapling, cover it with moss or leaves, then place the sapling against the tree. If there are a num- ber of coons in a hollow tree a good smoker will get them out where they can be shot. : Along streams, any _ho¥dw log, hollow stump, old boulder with a hole in it 'makes a good place to set your coon trap. Coons like to eat fish, clams, craw- fish, birds, eggs, poultry, fruits and vegetables. They are particularly fond of grapes and corn and are some- times caught in great ~jlumbers in cornfields and vineyards. / If you plan to make your gets in either of these places, go along the fences until you find coon tracks that show where the coons go through the fence. There set your traps. Cover them over with dirt. Sprinkle fish scent around. Along stream beds that have high banks and shallow water it is a good plan to dig a number of holes into the banks at the water edge. They should be from six td eight inches deep. In the back of the holes fasten a piece of bait. In front of them, under water, set your trap. : ------ee Many men have never set foot in a schoolhouse since $heir boyhood. They know that their taxes support the schools, but they do not know whether tion, or whether their children are re- ceiving the best course of instruction, Are you that sort of a father? The successful hog raiser also knows that it is essential to have the pigs well broken to eating before they are removed from the sow. All that is necessary is to make a small opening in one corner of the pen, so that the small pigs can enter an enclosure where the sows cannot follow. A mixture of dry ground feed and milk may also be placed in shal- low troughs for the young animals. They learn to eat and drink at an early age when this practice is follow- ed. Then.when weaning time comes théy*miss their mothers very little, The common notion that bone or muscle must have age to have strength is twin brother to the idea that a pig must live on half-rations for months to make him strong enough to stand full ration, As soon as pigs have been put into the fattening pens in the fall they should be fed all that they will eat with a relish, for the shorter the fat- tening period the larger the profits. | Lean, lank hogs and poor fences will discourage the average man who goes into hog-raising. ° i Keep the dog from chasing the pigs. He may tear their hams or'chew thejr ears, and is sure to lose you money. If pigs get into the garden or grow- ing crops, don't try to keep them out by" punishing them with the dog, but stop the cracks in the fence. i * Fall Dairy Observations. Before allowing the cows to begin on the accumulation of the season's crops, why not know if they are thel kind of cows that can pay their board, Many farmers lose money in the dairy business by spending most of the year in growing feed to be used for a herd that is not producing a paying amount of milk. But be sure that there is nothing wrong with the method of housing and feeding the cows before they are dis- carded as boarders that do not pay their: bills, Much depends on the owner of the cows and sometimes good cows produce much less than they should because they are given poor care. Cows are often considered machines which can be stuffed with raw ma- terials without limit and then produce a finished product to which there is also no limit. This is not exactly night. A machine is without life and feeling but a cow is an animal with a highly developed nervous tempera- ment that responds or fails to respond according to the treatment received. That is why some farmers do so much better with cows than other farmers. The successful breeders study their cows as individuals and try to keep them contented and satisfied and free from abuse. They know tha' there is more to "deiry management than "stuffing the machine." Shouting around the stables will dis- turb cows and reduce the flow of milk. A dog that is not well trained will ring the cattle to the barn on the or worry them all the way from the field. - This is not good for milk J ca So c 100% 'Sugar |.

Many dairymen received their first desire to own good cows by visiting the fairs and stock shows. The farmer who seldom sees good stock is apt to become thoroughly satisfied with his own cows and so neglects to maké an effort at improvement. - After a visit to a good fair the picture of cows of fine type will remain. Then it is only a step to the desire for better cows on the home farm. a A start with pyre-bred cows is more a matter of time than money. If there is a registered bull in the neighbor- the purchase of one pure-bred a pure-bred herd if has patience. As the progeny of this*heifer increase and reach the milking age the grade cows can be gradually sold. Soon the farmer finds that he is on the road to the pure-bred stock business, although the 'investment has beén a very few hundred" dollars, | Just think '&f the things you might have done ten years ago and realize what they might mean now.
