If direc- tions are carefully followed (which invariably are very simple) a material increase in the yield of the beans will be realized. After the beans are in- oculated they should be sown in rows 28 to 82 inches apart and the plants 2 to 4 inches apart in the row. This will take approximately four peeks of seed per acre. The crop should be cut and handled much the same as other field beans, as soon as the pods are well filled and begin to ripen. The soy bean is an especially valuable crop since it carries a large per cent. of protein.

It lives in filth and carries filth with it on its visits to dwellings and storeroonu, to pollute and destroy human food. It carries bubonic plague and other diseases fatal to man and so brings about the death of great numbers of persons an- nually. It destroys crops, eggs and young poultry, stored food and fabrics, causes fires, ruins artificial ponds and embankments by burrowing, and by gnawing damages foundations, f1oort, doors, furniture and much other prop- erty. The mouse, though smaller, is almost as destructive. . I pr, .1, ' _ '" - Wage War Von Rodents. Fertilizer Constituents percent. Henrrd a." The term "wild bees" is a misnomer, for these bees are in nolsenee dif- ferent in their habits pr dispositions i than the so-called domestic bees. They hire simply the ordinary bees which l have escaped and, in the absence of a !vigilant beekeeper to hive them when iswarming, have gone off into the .woods and taken up their homest in i some tree and there built combs and 1 set up housekeeping. These bees in turn have cast swarms and they have likewise found a hole in lome oak or gum-tree and there built 4heir combs. Some of these colonies livin‘g in the woods can trace their an- cestors back for a hundred years, all of which have in similar manner pro- pagated and lived in the woods. They are no more vicious than any other bees, and the term "wild" does them an injustice. They all trace their origin to the original colonies brought over by the first settlers. 1 Horses that paw in the stable right ialong need more work.

Suddenly while News was speaking there burst forth l the 'tTent of the possessed man._ _ Ever since colonial days these so- called wild bees have been hunted and still are. After the bees have been trailed and located, then the hunter must usually chop down the tree to secure them and the honey. It is well to remember that the finding of such a colony in no sense gives the finder the right to go upon another man’s prop- erty and chop down his tree simply to get the bees. The law recognizes the fact that the bees belong to the man who owns the tree, unless the finder can prove eonelusively that the parti- cular swarm emerged from his apiary bFfore locating in the tree. This is o ten a difficult point to prove. So, use care about trespassing upon the man’s land and cutting down a val- uable tree. Lesson HL--ueom At Work Mark 1. 21-45. Golden Text, John 9. 4. 22.

Astonished-The old truth in a new way. with a new interpreta- tion. As having authority, and not as the seribes--The scribes, the official custodians and interpreters of the law, constantly quoted other Jewish teach- ers. Jesus' teaching was his personal view. He quoted no one, but on the other hand set up his authority over against the traditional view. "Ye have heard" so and so, "but I say unto you." He taught not as having the Scriptures for his authority, but as if he were the authority for the Serip- tures. They had never heard any- thing like this. His presumption not only amazed them; it enraged them. The scribes had all outward authority of prestige and precedent, but their teaching was dry, formal, and lifeless. with no influence upon the people.

A.t In the titat place it is something of an exaggera- tion to say that they are double what they used to be. In some cases they are, it is true, but this does not apply to everything. And in the second place when you draw comparisons be- tween conditions in Canada and condi- tions in Europe to-day there as every reason to be thankful that We are so well off here. Letters come from the Old Country which tell of queues of people waiting for their margine and their tea allowance while their sugar they get by ticket. Don't run away with the idea that these queues are made up of poor people. There is an absolute democracy In the matter of food in Britain to-day and it is as much a matter of conscience with the peeress as with the humblest private's wife to lave everything that can be saved. An English merchant who has just arrived in New York is responsible for the following state- ment: "In England men not released have been told off to help the farmers, and in France the situation is so seri- ous that soldiers had to be released to work on the land. B_oth France and Italy, which formerly produced nearly all their own food, will now have to buy it." The needs of the war have aroused the English farmers to discard their old-fashioned methods of cultivation and to adopt motor pow- £1: GU" tile iiiLt types Jt agricultural machinery. __ Win-the-wart-if you want specific direction: for how to save here are a few good rules'bo go by-you might hung them up in your kitchen: l, Use four pounds of wheat flour instead of five. Eat corn bread, rye bread, oatmeal bread and cakes, bar- ley scones, rice 1nd pontoon. l. Use other cereal: with wheat to make bread. Wheat and oatmeal or when and cornmeal together are ex- cellent. 5. When you do est wheat bread, save every crumb. Cut it st the table so that there will be no stsle slices left. Make ems" sud crumbs into puddings. muffins, baked dishes and griddle eskes. 6. Save NU. Don't waste any. Less psstry and fried foods spell s saving in NU. Trim your own meat sud melt the fat. Let none get into the gsrbsge pail. _ "3-ilt I baked potato to make up for the slice of bread vou_don/t uh rilrréugrdown on pUUnd cake.
