It is gearly impos@ible to raise a large flock early hatched chickens without an Enlbator, as the supply of setting ns before the middle of ,\pril is spring. Will it be best to plow this fall and manure again, or manure first, then plow? Answer:â€"If time remains before frost I would advise you to fallâ€"plow your corn patch in preparation for the strawherry planting next spring. When spring comes I would advise you to cross plow this same soil and then apply manure preferably well rotted, and work it in by successive disking and harrowing. You cannot get the seedbed too smooth. Strawberries are great lovers of an abundance of suitâ€" ably balanced plantfood and practical growers in the Maritime Provinces and in Ontario are getting exceedingly ood results by proper fertilization. fhave before me the record of one man who used as high as 1,800 lbs. of high grade fertilizer per acre on his strawberries, and he claims to make u net profit of $200 to $300 per acre by his methods. Most of the eastern growers use a high grade potato fertilizer such as one analyzing about 3 to 5 per cent. ammonia, 6 to 8 per cent. phosphoric Answer:â€"â€"I assume from your ques-7 tion that the field is now standing in clover and timothy. This being the case, your problem resolves itself intog the sowing of such other grass and | clover seed as will thicken and enrich the present stand and introduce plmtl‘ that will be good for permanent pasâ€"| ture. Of course there will be more | hazard in sowing grass or clover seed‘ on ton of your present stand than there would be in setting out an enâ€"! tirely new seeding of grass for permâ€" anent pasture, but assuming you are, ready to take the tisk, I would advise| the sowing of the following quantities per acre, just before the snow leaves in spring: white clover 3 lbe., alfalfa 5 lbe., meadow fesceue 4 the. I After this mixture has been evenly acattered on top the present sland of| clover and timothy, as scon as the‘ ground is suificiently dry, go over it with a light harrow with the teeth turned back about 45 degrees, karrowâ€" ing wich the rows where the wheat is drilled. This light havrowing will help, bury some of the exposed seed and will not injure the present stand. In hnnd!-‘ ing the pasture after you have eut thoi first crop of timothy and clover, do not be in a hurry to put the stock on the second growth, but~" give it time to make a good recovery, then be sure not to stiock your pasture too heavily. Not more than ons head per acre. If| next fall is wet and the ground beâ€" comes waterlogged do not allow thel stock to pasture on the heavier partsi of this field because their continuous; tramping on the wet, heavy clay will} pack it so close that the roots of the: grass and clover will be smothored out.| So as to make doubly sure of a.' vigorous start of this grass and clover seed that you are sowing in spring and to invigorate the crop already | standing, I would advise you to apply| at least 200 to 250 lbs. per acre of ll fertilizer carrying 2 to 3 per cent. amâ€" monia, and 10 to 12 per cent. phos-; phoric acid. This can be applied beâ€"] fore you harrow to cover the grass | seed as indicated above, and the one | harrowing will work in both fertilizer and seed. l enailage corn, well manured last CONDUCTED BY PROF,.

H.;â€"1l am writing to ask advice in regard to establishing a permaneni pasture. What ought I to sow, and quantity per acre? The field I have selected has a variety of soils, sand, clay, and a heavy black soil. It proâ€" duced a good crop of wheat this year and a good seeding of red June clover and timothy.

It also stabilites the . amount of labor so that you can figure , with some degree of certainty as to the iamount of expenditure you have to make in labor year by year. Rotations â€"are also exceedingly valuable since ‘ they establish a systematic means for keeping up the organic matter or humus of the soil. If good crops are igrown in rotation and proper atten-‘ tion is paid to the manuring and fertilizing of the crop with a minimum“ | of expenditure of labor, maximum reâ€" ‘ sults can be obtained. ‘ No one wants fire to break out, nor expects it to occur, but fires do occur and no one should fail to prepare for any emergency. Here is what we do with our extersion ladder. Instead of piling a lot of refuse boards and trash on it somewhere in the barn, we have fixed a place to hang it within reach on the north side of our wagon shed. Thus in case of any emergency everyâ€" one knows where it is and we need unot hunt for it, needlessly. Here it is protected from the sun and it rarely gets wet.â€"W. E. F. | inch layer of fine sand will make alâ€" most ideal conditions on the poultry floor. The loam is fine for the dust bath and can be used on the floor if sand cannot be obtained without exâ€" pensive hauling. _ Now a rotation or system of cropâ€" ping includes all three classes of crops described. For instance, you may lay out the tilled area of your farm in approximately four equal areas, calling them A, B, C, and D. On A you may have corn and potatoes, and possibly other cultivated crops. On B you may have wheat, oats, and barley. On C.you may have clover or alfalfa of one year‘s growth, while on D you would have a second year‘s growth of timothy and clover or of alfalfa. This system being established, next year‘s crop would move on one notch. That is, where the cultivated crops (corn, potatoes, etc.) grew on A you would sow wheat, cats and barley, etc., and seed down the clover at the same time. Two years hence sectior A would be growing firstâ€"year clover or alfalfa; three years hence section A would be growing secondâ€"year timothy and clover or alfal{a, and four years hence it would be growing cultivated crops again (corn, potatoes, ete.). Or, if you wish to consider all of the four blocks, it simply means that the crops move on in this definite order (cultiâ€" vated crops, followed by grain nurse crops, followed by firstâ€"year grass and clover, followed by secondâ€"year grass and clover). This order is gone through on all of the blocks, In some sections it is profitable to leave only one year for grass, cutting down the system to a threeâ€"year roâ€" tation. In other sections it is profitâ€" able to make it five or sixâ€"year rotaâ€" tion by introducing such variations as growing a crop of oats, first in the grain diwision and following this with wheat before seeding down, also allowâ€" ing the hay seeding to stand three, four, and sometimes longer years. acid and 3 to 5 per cent. potash. If fertilizers of an analysis that would come within this range were applied to your soil at the rate of 500 lbs. to the acre I am certain your crop would benefit materially. R. W.:â€"What is meant by rotation of crops? Please explain f&ly. Answer:â€" Rotation of crops means the following of crops in & definite system. For instance, there are types of crops that we plant in rows and cultivate the space between. These may be called cleaning crops. They are types of crops such as corn, poâ€" tatoes, beans, etc. Then again there are crops which produce a large yield of grain, are not cultivated, and can be used as nurse crops for getting :1‘ catch of timothy of clover, such as wheat, oats, barley, etc. Hay crops,‘ which consist of grasses and clovers, stand for at least two years and someâ€" times 5 or 6. The hay crops, especialâ€" ly those that contain considerable clover, are especially beneficial beâ€" cause they introduce a considerable amount of plant matter or humus through the large amount of roots that they produce. Clovers also have the power of increasing the nitrogen of the soil on account of the bacterial growth on their roots. All of this being the case, the growing of a clover crop, every so often, materially benc-‘ fits the bearing power of the soil. In Case of Fire Any trapper who goes after wolf must recognize the first preceution to take in his trapping enterprises is to destroy all traces of the human odor. The wolf is very suspicious of any human scont‘ and strategy must be resorted to in order to catch him. Some trappers dip their traps in meltâ€" ed beeswax or boil them in strong sage tea before setting. Gloves, welf rubâ€" bed with a good trail scent, should always be used in setting traps for wolf. ‘ Lately Millie had been very indifferâ€" ent to the advice of her watch, and time and again by that carelessness she had caused her mother mugh worry, Finally, being a few minutes late became a habit with the little girl; and mother Mason thought perhaps the sooner she learned her leason of what carelessness sometime causes the better it would be for her little At first Millie May was delighted with the shiny gold watch that ticked away the minutes of the passing day so softly, and she was very careful to see that she gave herself plenty of time by the watch to get to school in the mornings; but in the afternoon she found the watch disagreeable, for mother always set her watch with the clock in the Living room, and she was expoected to come home at a cerâ€" tain time each day, If sho wasn‘t there, mother usually came to look her up. It was the same way about going out to play with any of her little friendsâ€"mother always set a certain time for her to come home, and she was expected to come when she was told. "Unto Caiaphas." It may have been that Caiaphas occupied other apartâ€" ments in the same palace. At any rate he appears to have been present and to have questioned Jesus while He was still in the house of Annas (18: 19), and it was apparently in the same house and by the same fire that Peter was standing when he first entered, and three times denied his Lord. The How Millie May Learned to Keep Her Appointments. When Millie Mason started to school in Hillsdale two very interesting inciâ€" dents took place in her life. One was that she added May to her name when she gave it in to the teacher, and anâ€" other thing that she was especialiy happy over was a lovely little wrist watch that her mother gave her in order for her to always be on time, bothâ€"at school and at home. 19â€"27. I Have Spoken Openly. Jesus sald truly that His teaching hadâ€" not been concealed. &e had spoken in public places, in synagogues, in the temple, and elsewhere. There were many who could have testified to that. Why not ask them? But the answer to this very‘reasonable protest was a blow from the fist, or from a rod in the hand of an officer standing by. It was evident that Jesus would have no fair trial in such an assembly, where the chief presiding judge could witness and not rebuke such an outâ€" rage. The calm answer of Jesus i"i however, both to unjust judge and bruâ€" tal officer sufficient rebuke: "If I have spoken evil bear witness of the evil; but if well why smitest thou me?" A Few Suggestions on Trapping Wolf At the Trial and Crucifizion of Jesus John 18: 15â€"27; 19:;: 25â€"27. Golden Text, John 3: 16. 18: 15â€"18. Another Disciple. Comâ€" pare 1: 85â€"42; 20: 2â€"10; 21: 20â€"24. It cannot be a mere accident that the other disciple in these passages is left unnamed, and the almost universal belief is that he is John himself, who through modest selfâ€"effacement reâ€" fuses to name himself. In 19: 85 he mentions one who was a witness of the crucifixion, again without a name. Had the story been written at a later time by disciples of the apostles they would certainly have given us the name. This other disciple was "known unto the high priest" and, therefore, was recognized and admitted by the doorâ€" keeper, and was able also to secure admittance for Peter. INTERNATIONAL LESSON DECEMBER 14. THE TRAPPER, Edersheim describes the scene as follows: "Remembering that the High Priest‘s palace was built on the slope of the hill, and that there was an outer court from which a door led into the inner court, we can, in some meaâ€" sure, realize the scene. Peter had folâ€" lowed as far as that inner door while John had entered with the guard. When he missed his fellowâ€"disciple, lwbo was left outside, John went out, and, having probably told the waiting maid that this was a friend of his, procured his admission,. While John !now hurried up to be in the palace | and as near Christ as.he might, Peter | advanced into the middle of the court | where, in the chill spring night, a coll] | fire had been lighted. The glow of the | charcoal, around which occasionally a | blue flame played, threw a peculiar | sheen on the bearded faces of the mon{ | as they crovded around it and talked i of the events of that night, deocr.i.binq | with Eastern vo‘lubility, to those who ‘had not been there, what had passed in | the garden, and exchanging, as in the manner of such serving men and offiâ€" | cials, opinions and exaggerated denâ€" | + + + + unciations concerning Him who had ‘been captured with such unexpected ' ease and was now a prisoner. As the red light glowed and flickered it threw ’ the long shadows of these men across | the inner court, up the walls toward | the gallery that ran around, up there ' where the lamps or lights within, or as | they moved along apartments and corâ€" ; ridors, revealed other faces there. In preparing the wolf skin for the‘ market, it should be cased fur side; out and very seldom taken off open.! Pelts should be dried in a cool, dry; placeâ€"not nesr fire or sun; good! stretchers should be used. When dry exough to hold their shape, they are ready for shipment. | An excellent method for trapping the wolf when the snow is on the ground is the following: Place a heavy stone in a sack and scent both sides of the sack well with a good trail scent. Then get on your horse and ride out to where you intend to make your set, dragging the sack after you. Then pull the drag close to your horse and make a short turn. This will also lead the wolf to make a short turn and he will not stop over the trap. Extend the snow path aeross the prairie from stream to stream so that there will be a scented trail for the wolf to follow up to the trap. After digging a hole in the snow, the trap should be laid on a piece of white paper, set, and then carefully covered with a thin layer of snow. A few drops of the best wolf bait should be sprinkled up and down the trail near the trap. be placed around the trap. Good reâ€" sults can also be secured if the trap is set in this manner near a badger or prairie dog mound. Tears came into Millie May‘s eyes, and a Jump rose in her throat as the thought of missing a trip to grandma‘s dear old country place passed through her mind. Just then the clock in the room chimed the hour of four. Millie Xay looked at her watch; they were ght together. "It‘s all my fault," she sobbed,. "I stopped to play with Mary Dean and forgot about coming home as I promised. I didn‘t keep my word, and now I‘m left behind, just as I ought to be, But I‘ll never be guilty of the same thing any more." And strange as it may seem, Millie May began right then to keep her apâ€" pointments on time; and she‘s done it ever since. "Your mother‘s gone to the country to spend the weekâ€"end with your grandma," the cook answered, "She said to tell you she waited for you as long as she could without missing the train." At threeâ€"thirty Millie May came rushing in, and, not finding her mother in the usual place, she made for the kitchen and asked the cook where her mother was. And Peter, when he heard in the early light of the morning the crowing of the cock remembered his own vows of unswerving loyalty, and knew now how truly Jesus had predicted his weakness and his denial. Perhaps atâ€" tracted by the loud voices of those who accused and of Peter who denied with oaths and curses, Jesus turned where He stood in the inner audience room and looked out and saw Peter. That look revived the old affection and broke the angry and rebellious mood which for the moment had mastered Peter. "He went out and wept bitterâ€" ly" (Luke 22: 62). 19: 25â€"27. Standing by the Cross. There were the women who had loved Him and believed in Him, and the beâ€" loved disciple John. To him Jesus, looking down from the cross, comâ€" mended the care of His mother. girl. So one Friday morning, when Millie May started to school, mother Mason carefully set her watch with the clock. "Now, Millie May," she said sweetly, "can you get home by three o‘clock ?" "O yes‘m," the little girl answored; "I can get home easily by that time. You know school is out at two." "All right, then," mother Mason answered. "I‘ll depend on your being home at that time." At three o‘clock, however, there was no sign of the little girl; and Mrs. Mason waited fifteen minutes, and still she didn‘t come, and then she did a queer thingâ€"she picked up one or two traveling bags that sat in the hall and started toward the station. other Gospels mention only the high priest‘s house.
