The advantage of app'.yirur fertilizers at such a time in that the distribution of the fertilizer and the sowing of the gnin in ac- eompli.ehed with one operation. Mod- ern grain drills are so eoniitrueted tint fertilizers do not drop immediately on top of the seed. nor is the fertilizer deposited so the seed drop directly upon it. Rather, the fertilizer drops and is mixed with the soil before the seed is deposited. This prevents injury from the concentrated plent. food coming in direct contact with the seed. Indiana Agricultural Experiment Station, in its tests of 12 years has obtained an increase of 8.03 bushels of wheat per acre per annum from ferti- lizing wheat. In several localities on this Contin. ent the fertilizing of wheat has been given careful test. Professor C. A. Invite. Secretary of Ontario Experi- mental and Agricultural Union, re. ports that in tests carried on throueh-. out the Province, complete fertilizer with winter wheat gave an increase or 5.2 bushels per acre when applied in the autumn and 8.8 bushels when applied in spring. Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion which has been maintaining tests of fertilizers for the last twenty years. quotes an average gain from complete fertilizers of 13.41 bushels per acre per Innum. Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station, in its Press Bulletin of last June said. "On average Missouri land, the fertilization of wheat is practical- iy nlxiays remunerative; it is safe to {can cxccgision of other plants, ex- cept possibly some iviea to hang over the from. The choice of the proper plantfood to apply has an important bearing on results obtained. If your soil is a medium loam and if you have been keeping up the organic matter of it by turning under clover once in three or four years or if you have been giving it a coaxing of 5 or 6 lotds of manure to the acre every second or third year. the fertilizer you should use will be high in available phosphoric' acid, and will contain a small amount of nitro- gen.A1 or 2 per cent. nitrogen, to IO or 12 per cent. phosphoric acid. If the soil tends to be light, the fertilizer ssh-mid contain more nitrogen up to 3 or 4 per cent. with approximately the same phosphoric arid. The phos- phorie acid is the kind of plantfood which muses the crop to ripen. Ma- tured wheat takes out '4 of the phos- phoric acid med by the crop. hence These results can be supplemented with reports from Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and other wheat- growing sections. Where fertilizers are carefully chosen and carefully ap- plied in sufficient quantity, the re. sults have been a materially increased crop and a product superior in quality. Experiences of Ontario Farmers Under present conditions, Ontario farmers who have not used fertilizers are especially anxious to hear from their neighbors as to results obtained. In visiting several farms “here fer- tiliZcrs have been successfully used we obtained the following expressions as to what service the users believe fertilizers rendered: “I have used fertilizers for the past twelve years with my winter wheat and I have been very well pleased with the results. obtaining an increase of 5 to 7 bushels per acre on an avenge. I an also say it insures I better catch of clover and it not only increases the productive power of the soil for the year it is used, but the effects of its use are plainly evident during at least the two succeeding yenrs."~w.

This is not only true in her knowl- edge of children and of dietetics and of how to care for the sick, but in her attitude toward housekeeping and her attitude toward life. Her under- standing of the "why" of things lifts the small, tedious things of house- keeping, whether it be the cleaning of a room or the sterilizing of milk bottles, to I plane of interest and dignity. And her contact with all kinds of pea le in the hospitals, in their joys ans their suffering, broad ening her sympathies and her outlook, odds that much insight and inspira- tion to her relation with her children and her husband and her community. No woman is so well prep-red to meet the sudden emergencies of Re- cident or sickness that occur in every home " the woman who has had the training of the nurse. In fact. to every detail of the health, care of her family and the hygienic care of her house, the hospital training "ontri- butes something that is useful or precious. , Lilianszo doubt it does become tiresome, when you hear of those nurses winning the Royal Red Cross and earning all the glory of overseas service, to reflect on what you call your "humble drudgery." But as a matter of fart, if every woman now on the farm will do this year just what she has been doing, to a larger extent and in a better way, she will be rend- ering her greatest war service. More and more the hospital training is regarded as a splendid foundation for all kinds of public service in which women are engaged, and more and more it will be deliberately planned as a preparation also for home life. To cook food Ind wash dishes for farm workers this year is nothing if not helpful. Young women now on farms can easily expand their ac- tivities. The girl who will learn how to hitch up and drive a horse can not only save her father or other man worer from leaving iield work to drive to town, but she can “so ride the hay rake or horse-drawn cultivig-. tor in an emergency. A large proportion of our butter is already made on our farms. This butter production can lw improved in quality and quantity by farm women who are willing to give it careful at- tention.

Psa. 19. 7-1]. This beautiful Psalm is clearly divisible into two distinct portions. The first has for its subject "The Glories of the Heavens." verses 1-6. The second has for its subject “The' Glories of the Low of God," verses 7-} 14. It recalls a saying of the} philosopher Kant, that there were two', things which filled him with owe. the; starry heavens nbove and the moral! law within. l From verses 7 to 9 inclusive there are six names for the Scripture: "the law of Jehovah," "the testimony of Jehovah," "the precepts of Jehovah." "the commandment of Jehovah," "the fear of Jehovah," and "the ordinances of Jehovah." A Then follow six characteristics of the law in these slme verses-its feet," "sure," "right," "pure," "clean." and "true." The results of the law in the life are then given: "restoring the soul," “making wise the simple," "re- joicing the heart," "enlightenin the eyes," "enduring forever." “righzous altogether." In verses IO and ll the law is finer than gold, sweeter than honey, and there is great reward in keeginz it. - . - .. Philip and enters joyfully into the re- lation of a disciple of the Christ.
