Toronto Office King St. West This discovery was a world conâ€" tribution since it proved to be the dissovery which gave birth to the fertilizer industry. A young Englishâ€" man of agricultural prominence namâ€" ed John Bennett Lawes became interâ€" ested, and associated with him an English chemist, Joseph Gilbert, for a further study of the discovery, with the result that Lawes became founder of the Lawes Manure Company in London, taking out the first patent for the making of acid phosphate in 1842. Sir John Bennett Lawes also founded Rothamsted Experimental Station. ‘ The use of bone meal as a fertilizer | is probably much older than the use of acid phosphate. The bones of aniâ€" mals contain considerable organic matter in the flesh which adheres to them and the marrow which they conâ€" tain. This organic matter aids in the‘ decomposition of the bones in as much‘ as it forms a home for the bacteria of ; Scientists also began to give attenâ€" tion to the study of the food of the plant and the :upplies of the necesâ€" sary materials which were lacking. A prominent European chemist by the name of Leibig observed that the adâ€" dition of ground bone improved the quality of cereals. He was not satisâ€" fed with the length of time which was necessary for results to be forthcomâ€" ing. On closer study of the composiâ€" tion of bone he found it could be treated with acid and brought to such a form that it would dissolve readily in water. When this treated form was supplied to growing farm crops they almost immediately found beneâ€" fit from this material since it was soluble in water. s IN TEN YEARS production on the continent. The reâ€" sult was that national scientists began to give warning that if increase in population continued without a paralâ€" lel increase of crop production the day of famine could be predicted with comparative certainty. Phosphoric ac‘d in plantfood perâ€" forms very important functions, one of which is that it hastens ripening by pushing forth the maturity of the crop through the early growing seaâ€" this constituent. This was on the assumption that the plant most likely took up this necessary plantfood in the form of phosphorie acid. ‘ To some extent the word phosphate has been"used with the same meanâ€" ing as fertilizer in many other secâ€" tions of this continent. Phosphates, however, represent a distinet constiâ€" tuent of plantfood and only one conâ€" stituent. This constituent in its pure form is called phosphorus. _ Phosâ€" phorus is a heavy gumâ€"like material which is never found free in nature but which enters into the composition of all animal and plant matter. The word phosphorus is derived from a Greek word meaning light, because in the darkness a light is given off by this substance. ‘ For lack of fuller information studâ€" enis of plant growth gave the name of phosphoric acid to the carrier of Comparison.

Bone meal, therefore, carries not only phosphonic acid, but considerable nitrogen.

Some wise manâ€"os was it a woâ€" mar?â€"has said that the difference between a house and a homs is a tree. Sure it is that some of the clearest memories of our childhood hang about some favorite tree in the old home grounds. Robbed indeed has been the child who has not known those swoet associsticns. Morsover, the trees are the home of the birds. No country woâ€" man, and certainly not the young folk.‘ can afford to be without their cheeryi companion:hin. The most contented What is a farm for? To produce a revenue and make a home. Too many men are apt to devote all of their time to the revenue end of it and neglect the home. This is a grave mistake. The revenue is of litfii use if it does not increase the comfort of the home. The home is where a woman spends by far the greater part of her life. A man‘s business takes him to the fields and to the town, away from the home, but a woman‘s interest lies centred in that little farinstead. For the sake of herself, her growing fam-; ily and, yes, her husband, she should‘ insist that it be made as comfortable! and beautiful as possible. | Undoubtedly the proper planting of . the home grounds is a good investâ€" ment from the point of view of in-; creasing the sale value. But how about it if one does not care to sell? If it is worth that much to someone else,’ is it not worth it to the owner? It is| hard to put a money value on a thing: like that but if some other fellow who has never seen the property be-[ fore is willing to pay a thousand or two for it, you have a pretty good. ingication that the place is not worth! any less to you who have planted it, cared for it, and becoffie aftached to’ it. I On the other farm, the buildings nestle against the background of a protecting grove and look peacefully out upon the highway across a shady lawn. _ Wellâ€"placed shrubbery gives the place a comfy, pleasing, homelike look, and a few simple flowérs comâ€" plete the charm. ~ Which will you buy ? A thousand dollars could not make you see that barren farmstead; your wife could not see it for twice as much. The bareness of those buildings seems to affect the very fields themselves and it is hard to realize that they are of an equal richness with that other farm. The one attracts the lingering gaze of every passerby. 1 Trees, Grass, Flowers, Shrubbery: The Home Place Needs Them All. Which of these will you buy?

In fact, there is no comâ€" parison between them. On the one farm the buildings stand bare, unproâ€" tected and without a setting. No trees to break the cold north wind, no shade from the heat of the blazing summer sun, no shrubbery to round off the corners and lend perspective to the lawn, no flowers to give a cheerful touch of color to the scene. Slags are being made of such a low phosphoric acid content that they virâ€" tually. add nothing to the soil other than the lime which, of course, in the form of ground limestone can be purâ€" chased much cheaper than it sells for in slag. Let every Canadian farmer post himself on the actual plantfood that he is buying in slag or acid phosâ€" phate. It is one constituent only and unless he is supplying a large amount _of barn manure to his cultivated or cereal crops, he is unbalancing the fertility of the soil by adding acid phesphate or basic slag alone, rather than building up the fertility of his farm in a uniform and wellâ€"balanced condition by the use of properly proâ€" portioned plantfood. Phosphates have their place and it is an everâ€"increasing place in Canadian agriculture. The more available the phosphate the greater influence it has on hastening the ripening of the crop. This in itself is a fact of immense financial value to the Canadian farmer. If we can ripen wheat and barley ten days or two weeks earlier simply by adding phosâ€" phatic fertilizer (which actual farm tests show that we can do), it means that cereal crops can be grown with profit much farther north than is nowl the practice and it means immensely improved feeding quality in ensilage than is grown in the cooler climates. Users of phosphates should keep in mind the fact, that the phosphate rock itself, whichk comes from the southern States for this continent and from Afnica and India for Europe, is practically insoluble in water. The next thing in slowness of solubility is basic slag, then comes bone ~meal, while acid phosphate is almost imâ€" mediately soluble where the water supply is sufficient. When we nay' immediately soluble we mean that up to the point that is guaranteedâ€"16 orl 17 per cent. solubleâ€"it is immediateâ€" the farmers of Ontario and elsewhere. This material undoubtedly has its place, but as a recent writer has said, it should be purchased entirely upon its analysis. Making Things Grow ! _ The city lot, no matter how beautiâ€" | fully it may be planted, loses its beauty when it is transferred to the | farmâ€"for it is out of place. The farm ! plan must be broader. It must n~t be confined to the immediate vicinity of ‘the house and a little patch of lawn. A fine barn and a wellâ€"kept garden ‘are not a disgrace to be blotted out with a screen or left outside of the scheme of things as though they were _something neglected and apari. They are an integral part of the farm home and should be included in the plan.‘ Shade is as acceptable to the stock as‘ it is to the people, and trees improve the appesrarce of a barn as much as they do of the house. A shaded padâ€"‘ dock is quite as attractive as a lawn. Now is the best time to p‘an the arrangement of garden and lawn for the svrin= season. The farmstead is the heart of the farm, the home of the farmer, and, to a large extent, the world of the/'vife and children. Do not be stingy with it. Make it comfortable and beautiful. Thera is nothing that is more valuâ€" able to have or easier to get in the country than beauty. You may not realize how much you care for ai beautiful home but the longing is there and the opportunity is there. So why not have one? I Look at the care and money that are lavished on the planting and decâ€" oration of a city home. The baauty of his yard is the city man‘s pride, and yet how meagre are the possibilities compared with those of the farm! His poor little twoâ€"byâ€"four yard is an abâ€" solute limit of space; he lacks good soil; he has to buy fertilizer; he is cursed with the overcrowding of his neighbors‘ dogs and children. And yet he persists and the results are often wonderfully attractiveâ€"so att:active: that the farmer is sometimes misled 1 into imitating him. That is a mistake. The farmer has an equal interest here with his wife. He may not be as much in need of the bird music and companionshipâ€"though there is no reason why he should not enjoy them and improve himself by itâ€"but they are the best paying tenants that he could possibly have. Those little songsters that live in the trees and shrubbery, eat untold myriads of harmful insects and add very materâ€" ially to the value of his crops. They are the farmer‘s best friends and if he fails to cultivate them and provide them with suitable homes, he is negâ€" lecting a great upportunity and is not as good a farmer as he thinks he is. so many farm women with their unâ€" equaled opportunities never hear. If you are not familiar with the birds, get acquainted, and you need never know another lonely day from spring to fall. ‘ An accomplishment of this kind is the highest tribute that can be given the vigorous and progressive character of the management and in that tribute the viceâ€"president and managing diâ€" rector, Mr. E. L. Pease, has a large share, for he it was who thirtyâ€"two years ago blazed the trail of success. The Royal Bank has in its president, Sir Herbert Holt, and its General Manager, Mr. C. E. Neill, men of energy, capacity, and wide experience in business and banking affairs,. The prosperity of the bank is a reflection of the prosperity and growing comâ€" merce of Canada, in which the instiâ€" tution has materially aided by encourâ€" aging domestic and promoting foreign trade. _An event of great financial importâ€" ance transpired on the 18th inst. in the celebration by the Royal Bank of the fiftieth anniversary of its foundation.

This expression stands for the forces, visible or inâ€" visible, which are opposed to the kingâ€" dom of God. They shall not prevail. For the strongest thing in all the world is the soul illuminated by the Spirit of God bearing testintony to the truth which it has seen and known. So the psalmist said, "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, because of thine "Blessed art thou." Jesus addresses Peter affectionately by his old home name of Simon. He tells Simon that God has revealed this truth to him, and that it is upon such men as he that the church of the future will be founded as upon a living rock. Playâ€" fully He refers to Peter‘s name (in Aramaic . Cephas), which means "stone," or "rock." What He says of Peter He would have said, no doubt, of any or all of the disciples who thus believed and confessed. For it is not simply truth that is the foundation of faith: it is truth lived, truth in the heart, truth believed and confessed. Peter had apprehended and believed a great fact regarding his Master, e the light of God‘s Spirit which was leading him, and he had confessed it with his lips. Others hearing that conâ€" fession would be led also to see and to believe. And so the church would grow, being "built upon the foundation of the apostles and mrophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner: stone" (Eph. 2: 20). See Eph. 2: 19â€"22. | In the early history of Israel the people had been called God‘s son, and the king as representing the people had also been so called. In that sense the term might have been used of the Messiah, the expected King. But Jewâ€" ish writers of the century preceding the birth of Christ had exalted the Messiah to a place in heaven and had endowed Him with divine attributes. While Peter may not yet have realized all that his words involved, there apâ€" pears to be in his confession a recogâ€" nition of our Lord‘s divinity, as well as the belief that He is the Messiah, and this recognition was confirmed in the marvelous events which attended His resurrection from the dead. "But who say ye that I am?" Some might have hesitated to make the bold confession, but not so Peter. He beâ€" lieved and he would speak. He was ever the strong, impu‘sive, and courâ€" ageous leader, quick to speak and quick to act. If he failed at the time of Christ‘s trial, it was through perâ€" plexity and doubt which had again assailed him, not through fear. Peter‘s confession here no doubt represents the belief of all, or of most, of the dissiples. "Thou art the Christ." "Who do men say *" They had opâ€" portunities of hearing what was said which He had not. In reply to His question they tell Him that some think Him to be John the Baptist risen from the dead, others Elijah, who was expected to come before the Messiah (Mal. 4: 5), and others Jeremiah, about whom there had been a story long current that he would rise from the dead and would appear again to Israel. | Peter‘s Great Confessionâ€"Matt. 16: 13â€"24.

It was beauâ€" tifully situated at the base of Mount Hermon in the north of Palestine, about thirty miles northâ€"east of the Lake of Galilee and near the head waters of~the river Jordan. â€" Here Jesus had come to be away from the multitudes which had thronged everyâ€" where about Him in Galilee, and it was here that the wonderful vision of the Transfiguration took place (chap. 17), as if to confirm the faith which on Peter‘s lips had found such noblel expression. | INTERNATIONAL â€" LESSON NOVEMBER 9TH. \A o on ies 20(0 AaZ CpR Spohn‘s Dist \g\ Spohn‘s Distemper Compound $ lal _ is us efective in the treatment Of Ano in af tho nthar q.

There are two kinds of work on a farmâ€"that which is necessary and well worth while, and that which is unneceesary ®nd from which there is no gain. Hunting is considered a very ; ant occupation and often a relief the farm work and if a man obe; game laws and is careful of his &rms he can enjoy the sport and inate the tragedy. Most all accidents with guns are due to carelessness on the part of the hunter. When climbing a fence with a gun it pays to lay it through the fence on the ground with the muzzle pointâ€" ing away and toward the ground. Even if the gun is stood up against the fence it may be jarred and fall over and an explosion result. It is best to keep a gun unloaded until about ready to fire and also keep the finger away from the trigger until the time for aiming has arrived. Walkâ€" ing with a gun and carelessly fingerâ€" ing the trigger caused one accident. A farmer walked along last year with a loaded shotgun and his finger on the trigger. He was pointing it at the ground and <pnsidered himself safe. However, a little nervous pressure on the trigger when he was thinking of other things caused the gun to fire and part of the charge struck him in the heel, causing a serious injury. When boating and hunting it pays to be very careful and watch the comâ€" nnlon in the boat before firing. He y stand up at an unexpected time or the boat may shift in the wind while the hunter is watching his aim and it may cause the load to fly unâ€" comfortably close to hunters in some other boat or on the shore. When climbing in and out of a boat with a gun, keep it pointed in a safe direcâ€" tion. It is also advisable not to load until safely in position in the boat and ready to shoot. ing up father‘s shotgun and snapping the trigger while,pointing the gun in her direction. Of course, he did not know that father had been looking for a hawk and had forgotten to remove the shell when placing the gun back in the corner. Act 2: The sister is shot and killed.

Act 2: He decides to climb a fence and pokes the gun through the rails with the muzzle pointed toward him. Act 8: The trigger strikes and the gun is fired and the hunter receives the charge, with disastrous results. that" t When Hunting Time ey preicticatly ‘loaof {from to April, and then wear to the bone during crop doing a thousand and one should have becna done in _ On a properly conducted with a great man pianuin? ime arrives, ncees to build, no sheds irm machinery to reâ€" d to turn that could icd earlier, no ditches s to build. ime for all things," is at mary of our fearmâ€" lim m he 8+ l
