Those, he remind- ed the wple, who had gone out into the Jordan wilderness to hear John preach had found no weakling, no child of luxury.

He was indeed great, one Liof the greatest of the old order, but in new day was dawning and a new ‘r'order coming in which new powers , would be recognized and a new stand: 'ard of greatness. The old barriers to the kingdom of God were being} 1broken down, its doors were soon to: be thrown wide open, and John him~: _ self by his preaching had prepared 1"f 'way for the change. Already the 'violence of the new order, the vio-l ilence and conquering power of faith.I Ewas taking possession of that king-i dum, and it was not to be, as John, .thought. a kingdom of Israel, but an? 'empire and dominion of faith and at, 'lthe Spirit of God to extend over andi :include all men. I 11: 16-19. Wisdom is justified of her children, or, as in the Revised Version, " by her works." John and Jesus were very different in their ‘life and manners. John the man who lived an ascetic life apart. appearing only to preach to the multitudes, and Jesus, who sought the companionship of His fellows and lived and ate and drank with them. But neither had pleased the Jewish authorities, nor the people, lished. in that way, but that is what Jesus wanted him to see and believe. It was not by arms.and munitions of war, but by the ministry of love, that His kingdom was to be won. The work which He was doing was the evidence, and such work . every age is and 'will be the evidglce of His ehureh's right and power. An expert says that avian tuber- culosis in poultry cam be readily de- tected by a test with avian tober.. culin, a test which is made quite easily on the wattle: or combs of th birds. In this way a valuable ftoek can be tested out, and the disease birds eliminated. If you have birds that are doing poorly, showing diarrhoea, tending to _--.------. to see if they will get well. Unless they are valuable birds they should be killed at oneHnd be sure to ex- amine them to see what is the mat- ter with them. Better still, send the fresh-killed bird, carefully packed, to the Veterinary Division of the Agri- cultural College, with a lett'er de- scribing the aymptoms. Specialists there will tell you what was the mat- ter and advise as to how you can stop further .trouble.

When one man hunts with other hunters, a great deal of care must be exercised. Not that I mean to preach a sermon on safety first with the gun, but I have noticed that a good many accidents occurred in cer- tain places and under certain eondr. tions, hence there are some eardinar "Don'ts" that I want to present. 1 I Poultry manure spread on straw- [berries seems to induce a rapid weed (and grass growth and is not condu- l cive to the production of large quan- ltities of fruit.

Atthattime. Luke or/ I21) shows us that these words were spoken on the occasion of the return' I') the seventy disciples from their? mission, which had followed that of: the twelve. The rebuke of Caper-) mum and its neighboring towns may; indicate that Jesus was at this time greatly disturbed and disappointed." He had hoped for a widespread rec', sponse to these missions, and a great; movement enumg the people, but it; 'had not come. The rulers were ob-| Istinately opposed to Him, and the man of the people was under their! 'influence.

The proper way to carry the gun, when with one or more people, is to see that the muzzle is aimed downward or upward. Not istiiiiiriiil, up or down, but pointed so its muzzle is looking at the ground or at the sky. With a very little care on the part of the hunter, a gun can be, car- ried in an easy position so that its load would never goein the direction of another member of, the party. Clean up the orchard and garden. Do not let fruits and vegetables lie on the ground to decay. Such prac- tise is bread and-butter for the bugs. Ducks can no more be neglected than can horses or cattle, hut if a man gives ducks good quarters and the right kind of feed, they will pay him for their keep over and over again. Good care always pays. If ducks are well cared for, as they ought to be, they will begin to lay during the winter, the Indian Runners several weeks before the Pekins. They should lay from the latter part of February or early March clear into July. It is as easy to get winter dueks' eggs as it is hens'. Since ducks lay on the ground, the import- ance of clean straw and litter, and a good deal of it, will be Been. Re- member this: the eggs won't hatch well in the spring if the ducks aren't cared for in the winter. I Hove the duck- wurm pens for the winter?

It is a mistake to add grit to the feed, but it should be kept always available in a separate dish. . Ducks should not be fed sloppy or mmuny food; they will not eat it. Nor should, Uou' with be given them. Soak corn for seveml hours before feeding time. Chopped tur- nips, beets, apples, onions and eats bage are fine for ducks. Many breed- ers advocate a combination of corn- meal, cooked vegetables and bran, fed in equal parts. Add a little salt twice a week. During the laying sea- son it is well to add raw cut bone and meat scraps at the same intervals. Pekins have to be fed oftener than Runners. . l Do not keep ducks with other poul- try, for it is mistaken economy. In the first place, ducks require differ.. ent food, which they eat very slowly.
