of ; ay and = that the Lord had risen from death GINNING OF THE NEW WORLD. BNTRFDUCTION--On the third day after the Resurrection, extraordinary experiences. occurred, witnessing to the fact that the crucified Messiah had been raised from death by the power God. From this time onward in the history of the fol- Jesus confirms the same ruth, and exalts it till it becomes t! e of the arcn of Christian faith. Our earliest account of the resurrection-appearances, namely, that which is given by Paul in 1 Corinth- fans 15: 1-8, mentions that the first of the visions giving the assurance was granted to St. Peter. Peter's ex- perience became the rallying und upon which the scattered flock of Jesus came together, and the church of Christ takes its rise on the basis of this faith in the Lord's victory over death. But along with the appearance to Peter the gospel history records an experience which certain women, fol- lowers of the Master, had on the morning: of the third day, when they went to visit the grave of Jesus! Theil: tradition concerning this expenien Sorms the first part of our lesson ay. ' Vs. 1, 2. Tt was impossible for the! loving hearts of these women to carry | out their cherished desire until the| Sabath was over. The Sabbath ended at 6 p.m. on the day arter the cruci- fixion, and as soon as that hour ar- rived the women procured the spices necessary for their purpose, intending, for it was now dark, to set out early next morning for the grave of Jesus. Vs. 8, 4. The great question troubl- ing their hearts at this moment was whether they could obtain access to the vault where the body of the Re- deemer was laid. The great store placed at the mouth of the vault inter- sed its formidable barrier between em and the accomplishment of their purpose. Yet to their wonder and surprise they find the stone remeved, pnd the grave standing open. V. 5. At this moment a vision tomes to the three women. An angel in the form of a young man clothed in white is distinctly seen by them to be sitting in the tomb to the right of the doorway, and they almost swoon atsthe sight. Vs. 8, 7. Now comes a voice, which mlso belongs to the vision-experience. It is the voice that Jesus is risen. He fs not in the tomb, as they supposed, _ but alive and abroad. While they still tremble, not now from fear, but from Joy, they hear the divine messenger Felterating the words which the Mas- ter had earlier spoken to his disciples when predicting their dispersion at the time of his arrest, Mark 14: 27- 28. He had sad: "All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered." But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee." This promise the divine messenger now recalls to the minds of the women, and charges them to repeat the words to Peter and to the other disciples. Notice the open- ing words of the message: "Be not terrified. You seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified: He is risen." Vi- sions such as this can only come to loving hearts that seek Jesus. The indifferent world of those who esteem- ed Jesus lightly saw no visions and heard no angel voices. No tiding came to them that Jesus was risen and alive for evermore. No unmistakable sense of the presence of the glorified One fell on their gatherings, All such ex- periences were reserved for those who were spiritual afied to them. In other 3 ther Jem ose who loved Jesus now inconsolable over his V. 8. Startled and terrified by this amazing change in their thoughts and feelings, the women fled from the grave. The grave had no longer any significance for them. But the evan- list states that they did not at this time say anything about their experi- ence, "for they were afraid." What , followed upon this is the original nar- rative of Mark is not known to us. The original ending of Mark is lost, verses 9-20 being added by another hand at another time to supplement the miss- Ing portion: . (The proof of this is that our best and most ancient manu- scripts stop at v. 8.) We should judge, thowever, from v. 7 that the original narrative went on to describe an ap- pearance of Jesus to Peter and to the 'other disciples. Vs. 19, 20. These closing verses of added section report briefly the pnsion of Jesus to the Father, and h t as Messiah at the Growing Flax for Fibre. The slow progress that has been | made in the growing of flax in Canada for fibre has been due to a consider: able extent to the old idea that the flax plants have to be harvested by pulling. Experiments in harvesting at tthe Experimental Farm at Ottawa in- dicate that flax that is harvested by cutting can be made into a high grade tow. By harvesting the crop in this way one of the most expensive items of culture is largely overcome. The significance of this conclusion is that flax may be grown over a very wide area of Canada and not confined as it has been largely in the past to dis- tricts where Indian labor could be se- cured cheaply to pull the crop. Graln- Mixtures For Hogs. _A number of experiments in feeding hope. ive been conducted at the Nap- pan, Nova Scotla, Experimental Sta- tion. Based on observations made during these tests, the superintendent recommends several grain mixtures for hogs of different ages, From wean- ing time to three months of age sift- ed or hulless oats 1 part, middlings 1 part, and 5 per cent. of oil meal may be profitably added. For hogs from three to five months old, oats 2 parts, shorts 2 parts, barley 2 parts, bran 1 part and oll meal 6 per cent. For summer feeding hogs of this age when on green feed the grain mixture might be oats 2 parts, shorts 2 parts and barley 2 parts. For the finish- ing perfod a good grain mixture is). oats 2 parts, barley 2 parts and shorts 1 part with 6 per cent. of oll meal. In all these rations the grains should be finely ground. Feeding Young Turkeys. Some good advice on the feeding of poults is given in a Dominion Experi- mental Farm bulletin on Turkeys. Ac- cording to the bulletin, the baby tur- keys should not be fed at all until they are at least 48 hours old, and even sixty hours without food is not too long. The first feed, given In the morning, should be chick size oyster shell scattered on a small board, and sour skim-milk. Towards the end of the afternoon they should be given some hard boiled eggs chopped fine. Regular feeding should be started the next morning with hard boiled eggs and bread crumbs mixed together and given" tliree times dally, After one week the egg may be gradually dis- continued and the feed consist of bread alone. After the second week a little moist shorts are added, dis- continuing the crumbs until the shorts alone are used. All these changes should be made gradually. Sour milk, grit and oyster shell should be given daily from the start. Never over feed or offer anything that has been mixed for previous feeding. As the poults grow they will travel over a wider range until very little feeding 18 necessary. The bulletin, which deals with the care and management of turkeys, may be obtained from the Publications Branch, Department o Agriculture, Ottawa, . Lime Good For Clovers. The value of lime for clovers under certain conditions has been strilsingly demonstrated at one of the Dominion Illustration Stations in the Province of New Brunswick, A fleld which had produced a crop of potatoes was glven an application of three tons of ground limestone over part of its area when being seeded to oats, grasses and clovers. The following year where the lime had been applied there was harvested a clover yield of 3.2 tons per acre, whereas on the other portion of the fleld, that is where lime had not been applied, the yleld was a little less than one ton per acre,-- Issued by The Director of Publicity, Dom, Dept. of Agriculture. ----p-------- | The unemployment situation which really interests some of our public men is that of political unemployment, now being bullt by G.

Vegetable seeds cost but a few cents. It is a good plan to plant a few short rows of the hardy varieties, such as spinach, ridish, lettuce, car- rots, and beets as soon as possible, If they come through, a considerable gain has been secured in earliness; if frost cuts them down, the loss is real- ly trivial. The Lawn. Lawn work should be done early. This is the only time of the year to use a roller on the ordinary plot of grass. Later on it does more harm than good. A good roling in the spring, however, is of great value, as it firms the earth, pushes the plants back into the soil, and smoothes out uneven places, A roller is a fairly ex- pensive implement, but one can usual- ly be rented from the nearest hard- ware store or two or three neighbors can club together to make a purchase. It 1s also a good plan at this time to go over the lawn with a rake. Where- ever patches of bare ground are show- ing the soil should be loosened with the rake and grass seed sown thickly. Cover these re-seeded spots with a piece of poultry netting or rough trel- lis work to keep away the sparrows. It is also advisable to feed the grass with a good fertilizer early in the spring. Many experts advocate pul- verized sheep manure, although the claim is sometimes made that this in- troduces weed seeds. An application of. nitrate of soda--one ounce dis- solved in a gallon of water and sprink- led with the ordinary watering can {is sufficient for four square yards--will give the lawn a good start and the grass that dark green color which is so desirable. Repeat every ten days early in season. It is very important to keep the sward in healthy condi- tion as vigorously growing grass will crowd out most weeds. Include Marigolds. Not only do marigolds make a won- derful showing during the early sum- 'mer and in the fall, but they will bloom right through the hottest weather in August, when many of the other plants droop and wither. They require very little care when once es- tablished, only asking tthe gardener to remove all fading blooms.. It is a very useful family of flowers, easily grown and a 'whole garden could be planted with it alone.

Beets and Carrots. No garden is. complete without a few rows of these old stand-bys, beets and carrots. These may be had in a variety of styles to suit different pur- poses. Thus for canning the small round beets are considered the best and for early baby carrots the shorter types of this vegetable are advisable. Both can be sown just as soon as the ground is ready, and further plant- ings for later use put in at intervals of two weeks up to the 1st of July. They should be sown in rows from twelve to sixteen inches apart and about ome inch apart in the row. 'When the plants are up well, thin to three inches apart, and later take out every other one of these for early use, the beets for greens or pickling and the carrots to be used In the ordinary - ' WRITING SNAPPY ADS FoR.
