Another practice is to remove the Let us all boost for the live stock farmer, not because he needs it, but because our country reeds live stock farms, instead of grain farmers; let us boost for them because it makes for prosperity and happy contented farmers and because it contributes more largely than any other branch of farming to maintain the fertility of our farms, let us boost for it because it makes us independent and prosperâ€" ous and because it brings us everyâ€" thing that is good.

The man that can produce the highest class of live stock at this time need not go begging for his reward, as there are many men just waiting to hear his price, and then write the cheque. The man that can and is breeding good stock, should stay on the job and redouble ‘his energy and do his best to produce better animals than he is now doing and he need have no fears as to being able to be well repaid for his efforts. The possibilitics of the live stock Armer are almost unlimited and alâ€" most unbelievable,.

Some show a very prosperous appearance. Fields and meadows stretch away in a green rolling panorama, and sleek live stock graze contentedly in the distance. Grain, waist and head high, nods in the brecze; the smell of clover sweetâ€" ens the air, and there is a thrifty apâ€" pearance to all spoaks a fertile speaks a fertile vatiom. _ Invari buildings add t] air of prosperit hangs over suct have been scho farming you kn are live stock stock was the ke But there is . that the travele a hangâ€"dog ap are green but th stunted, as thou ments noeoded 4 modern conveniences, Their crops are good, money plentiful, and rates of inâ€" terest are reasonable.

Some way must be found to feed the great numbers of people who have flocked from the farms to the cities the past decade, and the solution of this problem is resting with the farmâ€" er.

This is not so valuable and does not represent so large a loss of feed when the top five or_six inches of silage spoil. Another plan is to cover the silage, after it has been leveled and packed, with tar roofing paper, weighted down and held in ,place by means of short plank. _ Under such conditions the silage keeps well for three or four months with only a loss of about two or three inches of silage at the top of the silo. Boys can be used in the silo for tramping and packing the silage during the filling process. They save man labor as well as silo space. One man handling the distributor pipe, with three or four boys to do the tramping, will pack away the feed so that it will all be saved. When the beans are thoroughly dry| they should be stored in a barn to| await threshing. They should not ber tightly packed in the mow. They may |. be left until ready to be threshed by| hand or machinery. | Rain, while the beans are in the pile, will not injure the beans if they are turned over after the storm. They should be handled as little and as careâ€" fully as possible in order to avoid shelling. Harv:;‘fibg may be done by hand or witXh a beanâ€"harvester. With a beanâ€"harvester two rows are thrown together. A man with a pitchfork should follow the harvester and place the beans in small piles, shaking out whatever dirt or stones the harvester may have gathered. A side delivery hayrake is sometimes used to put four rows in a pile. Common dump rakes are not so satisfactory. If some of the leaves are still green, the beans may be allowed to lie on the field for a few hours before piling. Otherwise, they should be placed in small piles or windrows soon after pulling. _ The piles should be built high and rather small at the bottom to insure quick curing. Beans should be left in the pile for a week or two until they are sufficiently dry. It is considered a good indication that the beans are ready for storing in the barn when pressin# with the thumb leaves but a slight impression on the bean. Beans are harvested just before they begin to shell. In dry weather a few of the pods and leaves may still be green, but in wet weather most of the leaves should have dropped off so that the beans will cure as quickly as possible. _ Girls ) Th 24 e) Je Boys The Great West Permanent Loan Company.

Does it apply to an alien, a foreigner, an enemy, a rival? Dosos it apply to a man of another race, Or éof;r. or creed? The parable of the good Saâ€" maritan is the answor. Your neighâ€" bor is the one who suffers, the one who has been illâ€"treated, the ons who needs your help ard whom you can help.

Luke 10: 25â€"37. What Shall I Do? That is quite naturally the lawyer‘s question. That is the question of many who are seeking guidance from the Church toâ€"day in matters of social unrest and change. "What shall we do to save society?" The answer must be Christ‘s answer, "Love God and love thy neighbor." Within the Church there will be, as there has alâ€" ways been, differences of opinion, difâ€" ferences of judgment, on political or social systems. Where the law of love prevails there will be friendly interâ€" change of opinion, there will be earnâ€" est and patient study of the problems involved, and there will be always regard for the interest, the wellâ€"being, and the point of view of those who differ. Out of such friendly and brotherly relations true progress will come. The bestâ€"planned system of reform or change may prove imperâ€" fect. It may have its day and cease to be. But love abides, the unalterâ€" able law of God. "Love never faileth." Where the owner‘s cireumstances at all warrant it, provision should also be made for a permanent supply of hot water, and for convenient bathing and sanitary facilities. Even the humble homes of city workingmen are now almost universally provided with these facilities which are rightly conâ€" sidered one of the essential home comâ€" forts, and every farmer who is finanâ€" cially able should lose no time in putâ€" ting a well equipped bathroom in his home.

Special attention work. | regarding the comfort of the bed ocâ€" Where still more efficient, convenâ€" ient equipment for the provision of an automatic, permanent water supply in the home is desired, this can be supplied through the installation of a modern pressure system, of which there are several types on the market at reasonable cost. _ Any kind of mechanical water supply is a great improvement over the back door pump and where the best kind seems unâ€" attainable even a temporary or less convenient arrangement will be found a much appreciated improvement. Another important home comfort which is a matter of rather modern deâ€" velopment so far as its general use is concerned, yet simply provided and within the reach of practically every farm family, is a screened verandah The simplest method is to purchase a thirty gallon crock, mount it on a level with the kitchen sinkâ€"or better yet, in the garret above the kitchenâ€" and pipe the water so that it is pumpâ€" ed directly into this receptacle, flowing from thére by gravity to the stock water tank, with a service faucet suitâ€" ably arranged at the kitchen sink. The material required will not be exâ€" pensive, and the work can be done by the farmer himself after the fall work is completed. The savicrg in labor for every member of the famgily, and parâ€" ticularly the housewife, will be very great, and out of all proportion to the cost of installing this simple equipâ€" ment. One of the most absolutely essential things used in both house and barn is water. On the average farm some sort of convenient facilities for supplying water at the barn have already been installed, although in some cases the water for the stock still has to be pumped by hand and is supplied interâ€" mittently, as it ever must be under these conditions. In all such cases early provision should be made for an automatic water supply at the barn, either through the use of a windmill or a small gas engine. The regular supply of water which will thus be insured to the stock will make the investment a profitable one. It need not be difficult to apply the INTERNATIONAL LESSON AUGUST 24. §# Home Comforts an Aid to Farm Work teaching of the parable to present conditions. If we meet from day to day those who suffer from any cause,| whether they have been robbed, or, insufficiently clothed or housed or fed, or unable to have the comforts or| decencies of life for thoir children, or are broken in health, or mentally deâ€"‘ ficient, or without faith and hope in God, we have {)ound our opportunity to obey the law of love. These are our| neighbors. What have we done, what, shall we &o, to help them? To be‘ intereted, to feel responsibility, to seek to understand and symptthize, ‘and help in the wisest and most efâ€"| |fective way, is possible for us all. To ipny for power and wisdom to help is | our privilege. It is in connection with | | this very question of right and helpâ€"| 'ful relations with thcse choout us that | Jesus uttered the great promise of ’ Matf. 7: 7, "Ask and it shall be given! , you, seek and ye shall find, knock andi | it shall be opened unto you." See Matt. 7: 1.12. « | _ _ Good heating and lighting facilities are also home comforts of the first importance. They also have a very direct influence on the hea‘lth and well being of the occupants of the home. The small, wellâ€"heated house is beâ€" coming increasingly popular everyâ€" y where. The method of heating must, of course, be determined by the cirâ€" | cumstances in each individual case. There is no question about the superâ€" lority of furnace heat where it can be provided, but in any event all the living rooms should be sufficiently . well heated to make them comfortable, . with adequate ventilation to insure the health and comfort of the occuâ€" ' pants. |__Good light fyâ€"another advantage which is enjoyed in too few homes, alâ€" . though lighting conditions have vastly improved in recent years with the deâ€" . velopment of various types of lighting facilities at a cost within the reach of all. The farm unit electric lighting plant, with the added advantage of power available for use in house and barn, or the acetylene gas plant which â€"will afford the most efficient and conâ€" venient possible fuel for the kitchen range are the most desirable types of | equipment. But where these are conâ€" sidered too costly for present installaâ€" tion, there are many types of lighting equipment which can be purchased at small cost, and will add greatly to the comfort and attractiveness of the home.

When the grass is scanty, silage is the thing That make: the dairy farmer dance with joy, and sing. Priest and Levite thought only of their own interest and their own seâ€" curity. They put selfâ€"interest first. The Samaritan thought first of his duty to the sufferer. Love prompted his willing and ready effort to help and to heal. Boiling water poured through the cloth will remove tea stains. The exhortation of James (2: 14â€"16) is to the same effect. No profession of faith, or good words, will take the place of loving deeds. Our faith will be surely tested by our treatment of those who have reed. A little selfâ€" denial on our part will always make possible that greatest happiness, the happiness of ministering to the needy or to the suffering. For "happiness is a great love and m'.lch serving." Mechanical helps in the accomplishâ€" ment of the housework whict are too numerous to permit of enumeration are also entitled to consideration in the matter of home comfe=t, particuâ€" larly in its relation to the present and impending imbor crisis. Every device which can be successfully introduced to lighten the labor in the hsme is of just as preat economic importance under presens conditions as are simiâ€" lar devices for lightening outdoor tasks. where the housewife tan rest temporâ€" arily from her strenuous labors, and the tired men folks spend a comfortâ€" able noon hour or cool evening during the heated period. The cost of screenâ€" ing a good sized verandah is very litâ€" tle, and this work can also be done during the winter season, all ready for use with the coming of hot weather next year, if sectional screens are built which can simply be hooked in place when negeded. The protection A few inexpensive easy chairs, a hammock and perhaps a sanitary cot will complete the equipment for the added day comfort which the screened porch will afford. Special attention regarding the comfort of the bed ocâ€" cupied by the hired man, as well as every member of the farm family will also pay: Good springs and mattressâ€" es do much to restore tivred bodies and increase their capacity for effective work in the field or elsewhere. Another comfort which, while perâ€" haps not next in importance, merits carly attention, is the providing of ice for summer use in the home. _A cheaply and roughly constructed ice house, or perhaps the utilization of some building already on the farm, and the putting up of an ample supply of ice during the coming winter will be neither costly or difficult for the average farmer. uM t ghage ts | Buckwheat and millet sown togethâ€" ,er (about oneâ€"fourth buckwheat) make an inexpensive poultry food.

To play it, all the children except two form a flock of sandpipers. They hop up and down, while the two who are hunters try to catch them. The huntâ€" ers put forth their very best efforts to catch two of the sandpipers so that they may become hunters in turn. But it is not an easy thing to catch a little boy or girl sandpiper, because, accordâ€" ing to the rules of the game, they can escape as long as they hop or stand on one leg.
