I cried, and yanked my hand from the hole. Twisted about my forearm was a snake. In a frenzy I tore it away and smashed it against the rocky wall until it dangled like a thong in my fingers.

A couple of winter feeding tests with poultry, ten birds in each pen as nearly equal in type and breeding as possible, at Nappan, N.S., Domin- ion Experimental Farm are of much interest and' value. Two pens were used in each test, which severally ex- tends over seven and six months. In the Superintendent's Report for 1024 details in full are given of the re- sults in 1923-24 as well as the aver- age for three years. In both cases both the cost of feeds .and egg values are included in the particulars fur- nished. The first test which extended from Noveniber 1 to May 31, was to determine the relative value of beef versus skim milk when added to the laying rations. The three year aver- age of beef scrap was 625.3 eggs with a profit per bird of $1.079 in pen No. 1, and of skim milk 938.7 eggs with a profit per bird of $1.66 in pen No. 2. If the increased profit over feed con- sumed can be credited to the skim milk, says the report, when marketed through the eggs, it has an average market value of $1.32 per hundred- weight, Test No. 2, extending from Novem. ber 1 to April 80, was designed to ascertain the relative value of home mixed versus commercial feed mix- tures in economic egg production. The three-year average of pen No, 3 of eggs lald with home-mixed was 680 at a profit per bird over feed cost of $1.277 and of pen No. 4 with commer- cial feed mixtures 607 at a profit per bird over feed cost of 94 cents. In each case- the rations supplied and the constituents of the home mix= ture, as well as the methods adopted in feeding, are given in the report, which can be had free on application | wi [the trick intended by the crew, and sefigers. The soldiers acted promptly, and cut the ropes of the lowered boat, | thus allowing her to fall off. In a moment the boat would be engulfed in the swirling waves and swept to | the bottom.

For God had given him the assurance that not a hair of their heads would perish. Acts 27: 22-25. Vs. 35, 86. As a proof of his own confidence in what he said, Paul takes bread, and after thanking God in the presence of all, he breaks the bread and begins to eat. His example proves sufficient to rally the courage of the stricken phssengers, and they all take somd food. © II. THE BAFE ESCAPE TO LAND, 87-44. V. 87. The total number of 'sons on board is here given as 276. But certain ancient manuscripts~say 78, and it is possible that the smaller number is the right one. V. 88. The step is now taken of lightening the ship of part of the cargo. A grain-ship, conveying 'wheat from the East to Rome, she had to be| relieved of part of her burden if she was to right herself in these shoal waters. So, after the passengers had eaten, all that remained of the wheat was thrown overboard. V. 89.

The anchors are welgh- ed, the salls hoisted, and the head of the. ship being got round, they quake with the wind for the beach. for- tunately, the ship strikes a low shoal off shore, and her bow sticks fast. Meantime, the breakers begin to pound the afterpart of the ship to pieces. Ve. 42, 43.

If bees are to be wintered so as to come out ready for work in the spring: it is necessary that they go into win- ter quarters with plenty of stores. Owing to the fact that the bees raised considerable brood in the fall of 1928 24 at the Lennoxville;"Que., Dominion Experimental Station, more than the usual amount of feeding was required. This was accomplished by feeding three frames of clover honey per hive, and supplementing with a syrup made of sugar two parts and water one part. Common five and ten-pound honey pails were used as feeders with sixty or seventy small nail holes punched in the covers. The pails were filled and inverted on top of the wreckage.
