Prov. viii, 11â€"Comunntary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Shams. We saw in a previous 1esson that Solomon’s wisdom excelled all the via- dom ot the east and of Egypt and that The queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord; therefore some one must have told. We know of a greater than Solomon and ot a greater glory than he ever had, which our Lord and Saviour wants to share with all who are willing to receive Him and follow Him. but so few think it worth while to tell these good news that two-thirds of the people on the earth never heard yet. When the queen heard she came to see for herself it the report was true. She came with a great retinue and with camels. bearing spices and gold and precious stones. Such an abundance of spices never came to Jerusalem before, and she gave to Sol- omon 120 talents of gold. which. at $225000 a talent. would be about $3,. 000,000. See verses 2 and 10. Chron. ix, 23). His writings are men- tioned in I Kings iv, a, 33. The Song of Solomon was probably written in the joy 0! his first love to the Lord in his younger days when he first became king. Proverbs reads like his more mature experience, while Ecclesiastes is the sad retrospect of his great telly and sin after he had turned away from the Lord, for his wives turned away his heart after other gods. and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God (1 Kings xi. 4, 6). Although he was beloved of his God and among many nations there was no king like him. nevertheless even him did strange women cause to sin (Neh. xiii, 26). Aft- er the dedication of the temple the Lord appeared to him the second time and assured him that His eyes and His heart would be perpetually upon that house .because His name was there (1 Kings ix. 1-14). What a precious as- surance for all the redeemed to ap- propriate, for what was true or a building is surely true of those who are temples of the Holy Spirit. He and his people were warned. however. that if they forsook the Lord He would make them a proverb and a byword among all people (1 Kings ix, 6. 7). So we are warned that if the salt loses its savor it is good for nothing but to be trampled under foot of man. The les. son of today. with the parallel record in II Chron. ix, shows how it might have been if Solomon had continued faithful and how it will be when a greater than Solomon shall sit on Da- vid’s throne and the glory of the Lord upon Israel shall draw all nations. They shall come from Sheba. bringing gold and incense. and shall shew forth the praises of the Lord. and the wealth of the nations shall be brought to Is- rael when the Mighty One of Jacob shall be their Lord and Saviour (Isa. According to verse 14, Solomon was in the habit of receiving 666 talents of gold yearly. That would be over $10,000,000 in gold alone. So we do not wonder that silver was as stones and nothing accounted of (verses 21. 27). The queen had many hard ques- tions to ask Solomon. but he told her all. There was nothing hid from him that he could not tell her.- And when she heard his wisdom and saw his buildings and his home and his serv- ants theme was no more spirit in her, and she had to acknowledge that. while before she came she did not be- lieve all that she heard. now she had to confess that his wisdom and pros- perity exceeded all that she had heard and the half had not been told her (verses 4.7). It reminds us of Isa. lxiv, 4; I Cor. ii, 9, where we read that the things which God hath prepared for His redeemed exceed all. passing affair and great only to hu- man sight. From verse 10 we might conclude that she had learned to know the true God and can only hope that it was even so. From Isa. xxxix we learn that the visitors from Babylon did not learn from Hezekiah of the true God. the God of Israel, but only saw Hezekiah’s greatness and his pre- cious things. Christians might be a bit perplexed sometimes it the Lord should inquire after visitors had gone. “What have they seen and heard in thine house?” (Isa. xxxix. 4.) what he gave her of his royal bounty (vers¢=:_1_3_). [nakes us think of Ram. viii. 32, “With Him freely all things? aid of David's one great desireâ€"that he might behold the beauty or the Lord (Pg. mu. 4).

If the queen of Sheba carried back to Arabia with her a saving knowledge of the Lord God of Israel then her visit was to some purpose. but if it was only to see and admire and wonder and give and receive gifts ‘ (verses 8-10 13) then it was a mere 1x! 1'39 6‘ 11o 16’. Suulm He held a portfolio for one year in the De Boucherville administration and in 1892 was made president of the council and in 1895-‘96 was Pro- vincial Treasurer. He was made Postmaster-General in the Federal Government under Sir Charles Tup- per in 1896, but with his colleagues went down to defeat in that year and was appointed postmaster of Mont- real in 1911.

The year‘ 1914 was one of great activity in railroad building in Can- ada. Hon. Louis 0. Taillon, postmaster of Montreal, who has announced his resignation, is one of the best known men of the Province of Quebec. He was a political leader in the Con- servative ranks for many years. He was born at Terrebonne and studied law and was for a long period a prominent member of the Quebec bar. He first entered the political arena in 1875, when he was return- ed to the Quebec Legislature for Montreal east, and he was re-elected at four successive general elections for the same seat. While 1915 is likely to show less building, contracts had been entered into for mucn new construction work prior to the beginning or the finan- cial depression brought on by the war in Europe. These competitions, which are car- ried on in every county or district that boasts a representative of the Department of Agriculture, are deâ€" signed to teach farmers to use their soil to the very best advantage. Cost of seed, fertilizer, labor, etc., are all figured down to the cent, and the prizes, a two-weeks’ course in live stock and seed judging at the On- tario Agricultural College, go to the two in each group showing the larg- est net return from the acre planted. Of the sixty competitions this yearâ€" nearly twice last year’s recordâ€" twenty are in potatoes and fifteen in oats, the rest being divided amongst corn, wheat, beans and root cr0ps. During 1914, it is pointed out, two transcontinental lines, With Pacific coast terminals, were completed â€" the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Northernâ€"in addition to which the Kettle Valley Railway, an important branch or the Canadian Pacific, was carried forward to completion, and is to be opened for tramc in a short time. There was also important con- struction work in 1914 in connection with the Esquimalt Nanaimo sys- tem of Vancouver Island, the Paci- fic Great Eastern, the Kootenay Cen- tral, and the Kaslo Slocan lines. The jump in the number of en- trants is due to wider interest in the competitions, and also to the fact that there are a larger number eligi- ble. The only qualification is that the entrant must take a three-weeks’ course with the local district repre- sentative, and last fall and winter a thousand young farmers took advan- tage of these short courses in expert agriculture. The .tracks of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern are so nearly complete through the district north of Lake Superior, it is said, connecting the west with east- ern Canada, that the completion of those roads in British Columbia is virtually equivalent to tying to- gether the two oceans. In this respect, it is pointed out, the Canadian railways are more tru- ly transcontinental than those of the United States. Chicago is the west- ern terminus of eascern roads in the United States, and the eastern ter- minus of western roads. In Canada, however, the Canadian Pacific starts at Montreal, which is an Atlantic Ocean tidewater point, and stretches across the continent to Vancouver. Similarly, the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern are to go from ocean to ocean. .. "* The Canadian Pacific during 1914 was engaged in the work of double- tracking a portion of its line in Brit- ish Columbia, making the Rogers Pass tunnel in the Selkirk range, and building its new terminal station in Vancouver. The acre profit competitions estab- lished by the Ontario Department of Agriculture two or three years ago have this year attracted an unusual- ly large number of young farmers, sixty groups having been formed this year, each with six to a dozen or more entries. In all, it is said, more than $26,- 000,000 were spent in 1914 by the various Canadian railways in con- struction work and improvements of other kinds, and at the end of that year more than 1,900 miles had been added to their systems. It is regarded as probable that the war will prevent any large railway deveIOpment in Canada for several years to come, which is not viewed with regret, according to the Opin- ion of authorities in Ottawa. This lull in construction work, it is point- ed out, will permit Canada to catch up in p0pu1ation and wealth with the mileage already in operation and bring another era of rapid railway deveIOpment perhaps within a de- cade. With the work already completed, Canada has three transcontinental lines, using this word in its literal meaning. The first of these lines connecting the Atlantic with the Pa- cific, the Canadian Pacific, was com- pleted in 1888. In September, 1914, the gap in the Grand Trunk Pacific in the Rocky Mountain region was closed and a through train service established from Lake Superior to the Pacific Ocean entirely over its own lines. In January of this year the last spike was driven in British Columbia, uniting the eastern and western lines of the Canadian North- ern, thus completing the third con- tinuous line of steel between the Great Lakes and the Pacific coast.

The .eggs should be gathered at least twice a day unless they are to be put into the incubator immediately. Never wash eggs before setting them. Keep the eggs in a dry place at a tem- perature between 55 and 65 degrees, turning them at least once every other day. An egg in which the germ has become fastened to the shell will sel- dom hatch. The germ spot is always in the uppermost part of the egg. and if the egg is not turned the germ will stick to the shell if evaporation takes place. Select eggs which do not weigh less than two ounces, rejecting all exceed- ingly large. and abnormally shaped eggs. The unusual shaped eggs will probably hatch, but pullets raised from such eggs will probably lay abnormal Can you look at an egg and tell if it will hatch? Probably not. but you can greatly’increase the hatching power of the egg by following these suggestions. which are offered by W. A. Lippincott, professor of poultry husbandry in the Kansas State Agricultural college: Don’t Overfeed the Birds. Intensive poultry keeping involves of necessity heavy feeding. but one should constantly be on the lookout to guard against overfeeding, which puts the bird into a state of lowered vitality in which its natural powers of resistance to all forms of infectious and other diseases are reduced. The feeding of high protein concentrates, like linseed or cottonseed meal. needs to be particularly carefully watched in this respect. Burning Dead Hogs. There is a trick to the job of burning the carcasses of dead hogs, and where they have died of cholera the trick should be learned. Dig two trenches crossing each other. Make them sev- eral inches deep. Pile the fuel at the crossing of the trenches. Lay a large iron wheel or strips of metal to hold up the carcass. Open the carcass com- pletely. spread it open and lay it belly down on the support over the fuel. Sprinkle kerosene liberally inside the hog before putting it in place. Light the fuel. The carcass will burn fierce- ly, especially if the hog is fat. The trenches and the metal supports are for draft, and the dimensions of these things depend on the size of the car- cass. This system is recommended by the Nebraska stationâ€"Farm and Fire- side. Many growers prefer to cut the seed in the field at the time of planting. In such a case the tank may be hauled directly to the field and filled with the solution. one charge being enough to last a day. Care must always be ex- ercised to prevent reinfection of seed after it is treated. POTATOES GROWN FROM SCAB FREE SEED. lon tank is equipped with a shoveling board across one end. Ten bushels of seed are poured in and immersed in seventy-five gallons of .formalinâ€"one pound of formaldehyde to thirty gal- lons of water. After two hours these are shoveled out on a draining hopper and another ten bushels are immersed. The draining board is set at an angle so as to slope down to the potato cut- ter. With the seed supply handy and the tanks and cutter conveniently ar- ranged, one man can cut ten bushels in two hours and can thus treat and out enough stock to keep one planter busy. Cost of treating does not exceed 75 cents for fifty bushels of seedâ€"less than 20 cents an acre. The cost may be less if all the treating materials are convenient. Method of Treating Large Quantities With a Minimum of Labor. The value of treating potatoes for scab is well known. but most methods are tedious and impracticable when large quantities of seed are to be treat- ed, writes T. M. McCall in the Country, Gentleman. Growers cannot ah‘ord to take the time to dip potatoes in sacks for forty or more acres or even to ban- dle the dipping solution more than once. so they seldom treat more than is needed for the seed plot. The writer, to do away with the te- diousness of treating in sacks or bar- rels, has devised a simple method by which one man can treat and out enough potatoes in a day to keep a one row planter busy.
