The woolen threads should be of uniâ€" form length. _ With a pair of the largest size steel knittingâ€"needles (or a s‘milar size in wood or celluloid) and a ball of cotton carpet yarn, cast on ten stitches and knit two rows for the beginning. In the next row, lay a thread of the wool across the needles, with every other stitch. After knitting the stitch, take the end of wool which shows upon the wrong side, and turn it toward the right side, knitting a stitch to secure it. Then put in another thread of wool and repeat the process.

During the dance a red glow from the lighting arrangements flooded the hall. The supper dance occurred, of course, midway in the evening.

There was a temptation to devour these adormnments as well as to use them for decorative purposes, and so they were a source of much fun. The orchestra at intervals in this dance made use of some contrivance which sounded like corn pepping briskly over the fire. A shower of snowy white confetti from the balcony still further emphasized the popcorn idéa. Remember that plenty of exercise increases the egg yield. 1 Wenter and summer, hot weather and cold, keep plenty of fresh water before the hens.

There is another reference to Peter‘s wife in 1 Cor. 9: 5. Her mother was evidently a beloved and kindly member of the family. Her first act thhen she was healed of the fever, was to minister to her daughter‘s guests. Luke (4: 38) calls her sitckness "a great fever." There was much marshy land in that region, especially where the river Jordan enters the lake, and malarial fever was common. _ No doubt the healing ministry of Jesus entered many another home besides that of Peter. He is still the great Physician, teaching by His spirit, care and thought for all who suffer, and prompting the gentle ministry of doeâ€" tor and nurse in the homes and hospiâ€" tals of our land. The missionary spirit of Jesus took hold upon His disciples. He told them to go into all the world, and they sought literally to carry on His comâ€" mand. As far as was humazsly posâ€" But the crowds which attended Him during the day were already seeking Him in the early morning. "All men seek for Thee," said Simon and the cther disciples when they found Him. The answer of Jesus is characteristic. Instead of resting upon and seeking to confirm and â€"enjoy His popularity in Capernaum, His heart goes out to the great untouched multitudes who have not yet heard His gospel. "Let us go into the next towns," He said, "that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth." And so, turning His back upon the muiltitudes of Capernaum, He went forth with His disciples to go "throughout all Galilee." | "In the morning." Although the Sabbath had been a busy day, and its activities prolonged until after sunâ€" set, yet Jesus was awake in the early morning, and Secking a quiet place of retirement for His morning prayer to God. Here, as always, He is an exâ€" ample to His disciples, showing the best wauy of beginning the day‘s work. Compare Psaim 5: 3, and Isa. 50: 4,‘ The true humanity of Jesus and His likeness to us are nowhere more imâ€" pressively shown than in His need and His habit of prayer. See Heb. 5: 7. "At even." When the sun set, acâ€" cording to their way of reckoning time, the Sabbath day was over. It was then lawful for them to: carry their sick through the streets and bring them to the door of the house in which Jesus was staying. . "He healed many." Such was the scene at the close of this busy day. The people lingered until darkness droveâ€"them to their homes. / "O, with what divers pains they met, O, with what joy they went away!" Many forms of sickness in the East to the present day, are regarded as caused by the presence of evil spfrits, and especially insanity and epilepsy Jesus was profoundly interested in these poor sufferers, and restored many of them to sanity and health both of body and mind. Our missionâ€" aries in the East follow the example of Jesus, and they find through attenâ€" tion to the sick and through the agency of hospitals and dispensaries an open door to the hearts of the peoâ€" ple. Their ministry, like His, is in preaching, teaching, and healing. For example,; I was ambitious and enterprising and wanted to make some extra money when I was a boy. As Father had a fairâ€"sized family the shoe repair bill was very considerable. In view of these facts, I conceived the idea of purchasing a cobbling outâ€" fit for a few dollars and doing the reâ€" pairing myself. Father might just as well pay the money to me as to 51â€" other, and at the same time it would permit me to make a little extra money for mysolf. Father agreed to my proposal, and in a short time I had When I returned from agricultural college I took charge of Father‘s farm. I was the only boy in the family, and Father was at the age when he wished to be relieved of all active and strenuous duties. INTERNATIONAL LESSON OCTOBER 19. Solving the Fatherâ€"andâ€"Son Partnership .Problem Many men have never set foot in a schoolhouse since their boyhood. They know that their taxes support the schools, but they do not know whether the schoolhouse is in a sanitary condiâ€" tion, or whether their children are reâ€" ceiving the best course of instruction. Are you that sort of a father? sible, they travelled through the lands of the Roman Empire, and far to the East, ever seeking to bring the gospel to the next town‘s and into the regions beyond. Father understood another point that many farmers overlook; he knew that the income from farming was always less to a single man than to a married man with a family, while in the city it is just the opposite. For instance, in the city the single man would pay rent possibly for only a single room, while the man with the fami‘y would require many. Also, the married man would have a heavier food and fuel bill. So, on the same income, the single man fares better in the city than the married man. But on the farm the factors of rent, food, and fuel are largely included in the total income. As the value of these are more to a man with a family than to a single man, the man with a family fares better on the farm than the single man. _ Knowing ~this fact, Father always sought to make my inâ€" come as a single man on the farm equal to what I could make in the city. Father did not donate me things or make it=especially easy for me; he simply dealt with me on a fair and square basis. On my part, I helped to increase my share of the profit as the "labor" by increasing the profit that went to "capital."â€"P. C. S. The Curious Ccon and How to Trap Him. The big fur houses are always adâ€" vertising that they want good coon pelts and will pay good prices for them. Every year boys make good pocket money trapping for this memâ€" ber of the animal kingdom, and if you are a novice at the game, here are a few suggestions about coons and coon trapping: Along stream beds that have high banks and shallow water it is a good plan to dig a number of holes into the banks at the water edge. They should be from six to eight inches deep. In the back of the holes fasten a piece of bait. In front of them, under water, set your trap. Coons live either in hollow trees or in holes, when no trees can be found. They are frequently found in cornâ€" fields, too. They are possessed of great curiosity that often leads them into traps; for instance, a shiny piece of tin, a bright piece of glass, or a piece of white crockery frequently acts as a fascinating lure. Many trappers use these to bait traps set in shallow water of streams that the coons folâ€" low. When you find a coon in a tree you may either shoot him or trap him. The way to trap him is to place your trap on a sturdy sapling, cover it with moss or leaves, then place the sapling against the tree. If there are a numâ€" ber of coons in a hollow tree a good smoker will get them out where they can be shot. Geons like to eat fish, clams, crawâ€" fish, birds, eggs, poultry, fruits and vegetables. They ~are particularly fond of grapes and corn and are someâ€" times caught in great numbers in cornfields and vineyards. If you plan to make your sets in either of these places, go along the fences until you find coon tracks that show where the coons go through the fence. There set your traps. Cover them over with dirt. Sprinkle fish scent around. patd for the repair outfit and had mniie cons‘derable money besides. Along streams, any hollow log, hollow stump, old boulder with a hole in it makes a good place to set your coon trap. Use Cane Mols 100% Pure Sugar Cane Molasses.

Cane Mola THE TRAPPER, . »tunts I Have Learned About Hogâ€" Raising. There is no mystery in the business of raising good hogs. I have found 90 per cent. of it to be merely common sense. In the corner of every hog house I have a sand bath, made by soaking a bed of sand with crude oil. The hogs roll in this in great enjoyâ€" ment, oiling their hair and destroying an occasional louse that may be present, The hogs get a little sulphate of iron in their drinking wager to preâ€" vent worms, and have all the wood ashes, salt, and lime they want to eat. The safest plan seems to be to do everything possible to keep the hogs héalthy by proper feeding and sanitaâ€" tion, and then, if cholera breaks out, vaccinate immediately, with serum alone. The success of this plan depends on being able to get serum as soon as the disease is dicovered. About the only practical way to do this is to follow the plan of four counties in Illinois, which five years ago took definite steps to combat hog cholera by formâ€" ing an association and buying a supâ€" ply of serum to be kept in cold storage at some convenient point in their district. Stunts 1 Have I have found by experience that the surest method of preventing loss from cholera is by use of serum. The double method, which is supposed to give perâ€" manent immunity, has caused the cholera, instead of preventing it," in so many cases that it cannot be conâ€" sidered entirely safe to use. The common notion that bone or muscle must have age to have strength is twin brother to the idea that a pig must live on halfâ€"rations for months to make him strong enough to stand full ration. I ging hogs by lassoing them around the nose with a baling wire and holdâ€" ing them while the ring is inserted. Proper feeds, sanitary quarters, and pure drinking water must be provided. The successful hog raiser also knows that it is essential to have the pigs well broken to eating before they are removed from the sow. As soon as pigs have been put into the fattening pens in the fall they should be fed all that they will eat with a relish, for the shorter the fatâ€" tening period the larger the profits. All that is necessary is to make a small opening in one corner of the pen, so that the small pigs can enter an enclosure where the sows cannot follow, A mixture of dry ground feed and milk may also be placed in shalâ€" low troughs for the young animals. They learn to eat and drink at an early age whenm‘this practice is followâ€" ed. Then when weaning time comes they miss their mothers very little. Cows are often considered machines which can be stuffed with raw maâ€" terials without limit and then produce a finished product to which there is also no limit. This is not exactly right. A machine is without life and feeling but a cow is an animal with a highly developed nervous temperaâ€" ment that responds or fails to respond according to the treatment received. That is why some farmers do so much better with cows than other farmers. The successful breeders study their cows as individuals and try to keep them contented and satisfied and free from abuse. They know that there is more to dairy management than "stuffing the machine." Lean, lank hogs and poor fences will discourage the average man who goes into hogâ€"raising. Keep the dog from chasing the pigs. He may tear their hams or chew their ears, and is sure to lose you money. If pigs get into the garden or growâ€" ing crops, don‘t try to keep them out by punishing them with the dog, but stop the cracks in the fence. Shouting around the stables will disâ€" turb cows and reduce the flow of milk. A dog that is not well trained will bring the cattle to the barn on the run or worry them all the way from the field. This is not good for milk production. â€" During the fly season cows will kick even though thair disâ€" position is gentle and nothing is gainâ€" But be sure that there is nothing wrong with the method of housing and feeding the cows before they are disâ€" carded as boarders that do not pay thair bills Much depends on the owner of the cows and sometimes good cows produce much less than they should because they are given poor care. EH!H atth Fall Dairy Observations. Before allowing the cows to begin on the accumulation of the season‘s crops, why not know if they are the kind of cows that can pay their board. Many farmers lose money in the dairy business by spending most of the year in growing feed to be used for a herd that is not producing a paying amount of milk.

The cow that is not afraid of her master but respects him is apt to be the gentle kind of a cow which doe not kick or bunt but comes quietly to the barn and stands patiently in her position during the process of milking. Many dairymen received their first desire to own" good cows by visiting the fairs and stock shows. The farmer who seldom sees good stock is apt to become thoroughly satisfied with his own cows and so neglects to make an effort at improvement. After a visit to a good fair the picture of cows of fine type will remain. Then it is only a step to the desire for better cows on the home farm. A start with pureâ€"bred cows is mu:‘o} a matter of time than money. If there | is a registered bull in the neighborâ€" hood the purchase of one pureâ€"bred heifer will enable the farmer to start a pureâ€"bred herd if he has 'pntienc.! As the progeny of this heifer increase and reach the milking age the grade cows can be gradually sold. Soon the farmer finds that he is on the road to| the pureâ€"bred stock business, although | the investment has been a very few! hundred dollars. Just think of the things you might have done ten years ago and realize what they might mean | now.

Sadie cried, pushing away her plate and rushing from the Ralph Closser, 9 am.â€"5 pm. and 7.10 p.m. Perkaps he finds his way into a lange city, and there buries himself, as he thinks, in the great crowds of moving humanity.

"Ellen ought to take you in hand." "Ellen," Ralph observed ironically, ignoring the question of Tom‘s manâ€" ners, "having so much leisure time after doing the work about the house!"

You ‘used to be a square little pal. We‘ll trust it to you. Fear of detection and punishment bars the fugitive from all that is highest and best in life, bars him from the best society, bars him from the highest privileges, bars him from a man‘s place in the world, bars him from the company of his fellow men. The common judgment of his fellows is a wall that shuts him out of their lives and confines him in that narrow, hard life of a lawhreaker. "She‘s home all day. I have to work. I guess there‘d be some differâ€" ence if I didn‘t." The last sentence did it.
