DALLEY CORPORATIONS LTD., To Those Who Are Prospering % (Christian Guardian) These are trying days to many of us, and the shadow of the war: is scarcely lifted from our path; but] there are others to whom the war has brought financial prosperity. . Some of our fellows have been watching their small accumulations of capital! gradually mevting away until now they are all too near the deadly “But some of us have been adding to our wealth every year. Our bank account has increased, our real estate has been added to, possibly ‘we have a comfortable automobile, and as we take stock of our possess- ions we are gratefully conscious that we are thousands of dollars, perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars, bet- ter off than we were before the war. Is it not reasonable that we should ask-the reason why? It is true that we have worked hard, but we worked just as hard before and the result was not the same. It isn’t the hard work that has made us prosperous: for our as a reward some of them now lie a-] sleep in Flanders and some of them are at home again, blind, maimed, or whole, but all of them poor. And it isn’t our good judgment nor our skill that have made our wealth, for we used just as good judgment and just as great skill in former years, and the results were nothing like’ the same. We have become prosperous, but our prosperity is not the result chiefiy either of our hard labor or ow good judgment and skill. Our prosperity is due directly to the world’s sore need. and for every extra dollar we have made the world is that much poorer. The world was hungry and we have coined its hunger into dollars; the world was naked 4ts-nekedaess into} ~soined the world in its unparalleled straggle for libgtty was in sorest Straits for aH that would help to win the war; and our handiwork helped to win the war, of this there is no doubt—but our prosperity is due to the fact that the world in its unpre- cedented need was willing to pay any price, just as the Egyptians in Jos- eph’s day were. . If we are wrong we hope some one will set us right; but so far as we can see our war prosper-| ity is based on the fact that we coin- ed the sore need of the world into dollars. The fact that men did this in every land does not alter the sit- uation at all. But suppose this be true, what then? Now our friends will. pardon us if we say that if it were possible we think that all this war wealth be we think that all this war wealth should de used to pay war debts. But this does not seem possible. What then? If ever there existed wealth that should not be used for-lavish expendi- ture upon luxuries or self, it is surely this body of wealth which has been born of the war.

If ever the Church of God had a claim upon ; wealth to be used to banish poverty and bless the world, it surely has a claim upon this wealth to which we refer. ; And yet we would not be misunder-} stood. We cannot demand, we can we} can only reason. But we would like to speak to the conscience of every Methodist in the land, who during the war has increased in goods, and ask him to think this matter out. You have the money, and it is yours legai- ly and honestly, and you have ,toiled hard to make it. And yet it is well to remember that every dollar made since the war, over and above our br- dinary pre-war earnings, has been made out of the world’s sore need. Surely if ever money seemed ear- marked for high and holy uses it is this war wealth. Whatever you may do with it patriotism forbids that you forget your country’s need, religion forbids,that you use it selfishly, and humanity appeals that you use it for the well-being of the race. During the war Canada secured’ wortd-wide advertising through the fighting value and heroism of her dauntless sODS; would it not be a fitting sequel’ that our financial sacrifices and our spirit- ual progressiveness should be such as would set a pace for other nations?

If egg is to be done this spring see that it is completed before the Peap is flowing to any extent. Do not think it is necessary to take out a lot of wood from every tree. Much damage may be done by annual butch- ering. If the orchard has Hght an- nual pruning it will only be necessary to (1) remove all dead or broken branches (2) to head in any branch- es which may be too rangy (3) to re- move cross branches or (4) to thin out where the tree has become ab- solutely too thick. - : : the orchard is old and has been neglected; which is evidenced by lack of growth, the barren arms for many feet from the main trunk, a vigor- ous heading back of the top is nec- essary to force out new growth from which new fruit-producing wood can be selected. Handle the young trees carefully. Do not make it a practice to head back % or 1-3 annually. Watch the erotches and always keep one brancb in the lead to avoid weak crotches. Cut out where branches are too close together keep the tree ‘headed low. and if the variety produces a long Tangy tree suppress the strongest Soh | growing branches the most and the weakest the least. Points to remember. In cutting back a main branch and one of its strong growing laterals do not cut both to the same length. Permit the main branch to retain the lead, other- wise two branches of equal dimen- sions will result which will produce a very weak crotch; a constant source of trouble. Whenever given the option of se- lecting either a branch growing at a sharp angle to its parent or one grow- ing almost at right angles, choose the latter—it will make a. ssunger crotch in future years. Always cut back to a bud, cutting as close as possible without injuring} the bud itself. By paying attention to the position of the bud one can do much to decide the form the tree shall take. Study each variety you are dealing with and adopt very hard and fast rules to your whole orchard. It is not a question of how much pruning one can do, but how little one can do and still retain the desired shape, vigotir and productiveness of the tree. M. B.

These conditions mean that the young plants will all come up at the ‘Same time, that the roots. will be well protected, and that the grain will ripen uniformly. As the grain is planted, so will it grow and ripen. If some of the seed fs planted too shallow, and some-too deep, the seed that comes up first, ripens first. Thus it is that some of ‘the grain is ready to harvest while other patches are still in the milk stage. The feeding device is the heart of the grain drill. Upon its reliability depends the accuracy of sowing the seed. The drill scale is computed for average sized — ere- | fore cannot viet be depended upon when the size of them varies from the normal. If the grain is oversized or undersized the required amount per acre may be sown by setting the feed lever at a point slightly greater or slightly less than shown on the cator. There are, in. common use, two different forms of feeding de- vices. The _ fluted-cylinder-force feed, and the double-run-force feed. The amount of seed sown by the fiut- ed-cylinder-force feed may regu- lated by a lever which changes the size of the outlet, but it does not al- Ways handle all classes of seed with- out breaking them, as can be done with the double-run-ferce feed, which necessarily requires for driving it a disc wheel, or a cog wheel with from -_. to fifteen sets of cogs that make as Many speeds or fee ; In the most efficient type of grain drills the seed should be deposited asp nearly directly under the axle of the disc as possible, as this is the only place where the seed can be dropped directly on to the bottom of the trench without hindrance. this method the disc is not run deeper than the seed is deposited, thus the draft is reduced to a minimum. the seed is deposited in the rear of the centre of the axle, the rotation of the disc tends to carry earth and seed up with it, causing the seed_to be unevenly deposited. In operation, a@ properly angled disc opens a trench about two inches wide. The seed strikes the concave side of the shield and the convex side. of the disc, and is thus scattered evenly over the entire width of the trench. Grain seed drills are divided into four kinds, according to the type of furrow-opener — the open delivery single disc and the closed. delivery single disc, the double disc, the shoe, and the hoe drills. _ open deélivery single disc furrow opener deposits e seed between ss shield and the castter side of the disc. The space is open from the end ofthe boot between the disc and shield to the bottom or lower end of the shield. The shield prevents the falling seed from becom- ing mixed with the loose earth,and surface trash and insures its free.pas- sage to the bottom of the trench inde by the disc. It will also do excellent work in highly cultivated soil that is free from trash. The closed delivery single disc fur- row opener has a closed boot, similar to a hoe furrow opener, which comes down at the rear edge of the disc and deposits the seed about two inches back of the disc. It does not plant the seed at as even a ‘depth as either pr open delivery single disc of the double disc, but deposits it at least eight inches in rear of the dis¢ hub, and wherever it meets wi an obstruction, rock or hard frozen soit disc rises up and carries the boot with it, broadcasting the seed on the surface. There are many styles of double dises, but the one that plants the seed under or slightly back of the disc axle, or hub, is the one to.use, for that point.is the deepest part of the furrow. The furrow opener that shoots the grain forward of this centre is to be avoided, for the rea- son that the seed reaches the ground before the furrow is fully Samed, and it is, therefore, mixed with th }soil as the seed trench is being” nde, causing what is termed “wavy” sow- . The double disc type of opener tends to spread out the seed more than other kinds, so that each seed has a somewhat greater area from — to draw moisture. furrow opener” or caval opener doés not penetrate the ground -eadily and clogs easier than any of the other types. The ‘shoe opener does no better work, and rath- er than clog will run over trash and thus plant the seed at varying depths. In selecting a drill the bearings should be given careful inspection. They should be dust proof..

It Hves intimately with the people of its community, and serves to carry the humanities of the locality to those who have gone out beyond but whose hearts turn frequently and affection- ately to the folk back home. The follow tribute to the “home- town weekly,” which appeared first in an American publication across the line, is so good that we re-produce it here: “I read the daily paper—read the state and foreign news, of the doings here and yonder, and of leading statesmien’s views. Read of wreck, and fire, and murder, baseball, politics and crime, marriages and births and dyings, all the happenings of time: Read the whole edition over, from the first page to the last, news and-com- ments, facts and fancies, things to come, things of the past.. Then aside I thrust that paper for it’s no more good tw me, half the things that I've read over soon my memory will flee. Then I get the home-town weekly, and with keen and eager eye, read the news it has to tell me, news that’s never dull nor dry. For the news that’s in that paper tells of folks I know and love, folks who are both friends and neighbors and whose goodness I can prove. Tells of school, and church and college, lodge, so- ciety and store, town improvements, council’s doings, squibs and personals galore. Having read this good town paper, read and swelled myself with pride, I crank up my ancient flivver and through town and country ride. Far away sometimes it takes me, into other towns and states, where I take notes and figures and make mental estimates. Then, returning to my roof-tree, .call my peighbors to my side and declare ‘So help me Hannah, | here I ever will abide.’ And with each returning Thursday, eagerly I watch and wait for the postman who is bringing the old weekly to my gate. Oh, I must have the great dailies, magazines and trade reviews—but the thing that makes me happy is the home-town weekly news.” Giles was from the country, and was using the telephone for the firstT time. “Please, exchange,” he said, ‘‘Will er gimme my three pence back? * didn’t get the one I axed for.” - “Well, then, why did you keep on ; ia “Well, yer see,” Giles explained,| “it wae. this.
