Your soil may lack fertility sufâ€" ficient to maintain the young clover <rop. In order to insure a good catch, work in about 250 lbs. per acre of a fertilizer analyzing 2 per cent. amâ€" monia, 8 per cent. phosphoric acid, and 2 per cent. potash. If you have a drill with a fertilizer dropping compartment, this machine will make the best application of the fertilizer, if not, you will have to apply the fertilizer broadcast and disk and har-i row it in as you are working down the seed bed. ' R. R.: What makes our silage mould, especially when we leave it over a day? All through our sihge} so far we find little chunks of silage and when we break it open it is n!l‘ red inside and we fird blue mould in it. Some folks said there was not! enough juice in it. But our corn wns, riper a year ago than it was this year and it did not mould. Is a small handful of salt morning and night fed in the chop too much for a cow? 4. Your soil may be packed so closely that the air cannot circulate in the soil. If such is the case, give tke field a more thorough plowing and disking and apply strawy barn manure. | 2. Your soil may be sour. Get a sheet of blue litmus paper from a «druggist and bury small pieces of the paper in several places in the field at a dopth of from 4 to 6 inches, while the soil is damp. When you dig the paper up in about oneâ€"half hour, if it has turned pink it indicates that the soil is sour and there is need of lime. If such is the case, apply ground limestone at the rate of 1 ton per 3. The bacteria that naturally grow on the roots of the clover may be lacking. If such is the case, write the Bacteriological Department of the O.A.C., Guelph, for a bottle of culture with which to treat the seed. Follow the directions closely. CONDUCTED B8Â¥ Pror. HEnry G.

Unto the palace of the high _ priest. The high priest at that time ; was Joseph Caiaphas, the sonâ€"inâ€"law ‘ of Annas, who had formerly held that | office and was still a person of great ‘influence and authority. Caiaphas ; was appointed in the year A.D. 26 and { continued in office twelve years. The chief priests and elders, some of whom were members of the great : Jewish council, consulted that they . might take Jesus by subtilty. It | would, apparently, have been easy enough to take Him at any time as lHe went openly through the streets or taught in the temple courts, but they feared an uprising of the people and the consequent wrath of the Roâ€" man authorities who would have held . them responsible. The city was full , of peorle. assembled for the passâ€" over celebration, and many were from | Galilee and were friends and partiâ€" ‘ sans of Jesus and His disciples. These, under the leadership of such men as Peter, who, as we know, was quite ready and willing to fight for his Master, might have made a great deal of troufile, and as a result there might have been imposed upon the city a severe punishment or a heavy fine. It is no wonder, therefore, that they roceeded cautiously, and consulted :o they might quietly and sécretiy u&plith their evil Purpose.®" _‘ Mary‘s Gift of Love, vy, 6â€"13. the woman there mentioned is called "a sinner," and can surely not ‘be identified with the gentle and loving sister of Martha and Lazarus. No doubt this Simon had been healed of his disease, otherwise there would not have berm held such a feast in his It is not certainly known who Simon theémr was. A similar story is told in : 7: 36â€"50 of a dinner in the 6â€"13. When Jesus was in Bethany. Just before telling the story of Judas‘ treachery, Matthew turns aside to tell l.!:tlny indden: of ‘I?I:h pt:l:'iouo week. in , in w eâ€" mercenary character of Judas was revealed, in contrast with the simple and beautiâ€" ful loyalty and selfâ€"forgetfuilness of in Luke 7: 36â€"50 of a dinner in the house of a Pharisee named Simon, but reckoning time, which made the day begin at sunset, it was in reality on the fifteenth, and on the next mornâ€" ing (Friday morning), Jesus was crucified. Answer: There are about 40 tons of silage in a silo 12 feet in diameter and 20 feet deep. A reliable estimate of values of good silage was given by Director Gordcn, Geneva Experiâ€" ment Station, a few years ago. He said that when hay was worth 10 a ton good silage was worth $3. H. C.: Kind!y give me an estimate of the amount and value of the enâ€" silage in a silo. There are twenty feet remaining in it., The silo dimenâ€" sions are 33 x 12 feet four inches. It was filled to capacity. The corn was cut on the day following the first heavy frost we had here. The corn was nearly all mature but the foliage and stalks were green and jaicy. There was a good percentage of grain. I purchased this ensilage and am hauling it one mile over a good road. I am anxious to know the apâ€"’ proximate tonnage and value of same. Answer: Peas and oats make exâ€" cellent green feed for cows during late summer when pastures are failâ€" ing. I believe you would be wise in using this mixture as a green feed, although reports are on record where it has been successfully put in the silo. K. B.: Kindly tell me how to feed cowpeas and oats to my cows in the late summer. Would you advise putâ€" ting it in the silo or cutting it as needed? â€"This latter way would take much of my time, which is valuable at that season. | The amount of salt you mentioned is rather large. I would advise you rather to place a lump of rock salt so that your cow may lick it as she desires. % form a suitable place for the mouldâ€" plant to grow. The red mould inside the lumps you described is simply another form of mould. Evidently your ensilage has been cut after a frost when the leaves were dry and the ensilage did not pack thoroughly. It is true there should have been more juice among the silage when the silo was filled and the cut corn should have been tramped down much more solidly. ‘The juice of the immature corn is very largely in the sugar stage. Very little has been changed| to starch, which is found in much greater quantity in ripened corn. The ripened corn makes very much better feed since it contains much more grain. You can hasten the ripening of corn from 10 days to two weeks by the addition of 200 to 400 lbs. per acre of fertilizer high in phosphoric acid. Beets and cabbage are greatly relâ€" ished by the fowls during the winter months, but care. must be exercised to avoid feeding too much green feed. Mangel wurzels yield larger crops than table beets and furnish equally as desirable feed for the flock as table beets or cabbage. A. small plot will furnish sufficient green feed for a goodâ€"sized flock throughout the winter. Small potatoes boiled and fed alone or with a mash will prove a valuable addition to the ration, but Feed for ram: During the winter months the grain for a ram should not exceed one pound daily. In the spring sof the year, feed no grain if the pasture is good and the ram is in good physical condition. .â€". .. ._ _ bors. If you follow our advice on this question ‘of gardens you will never regret it. Make this a garden year on the farm. Make it such a garden that you will want the neighbors all to come over and look at it. Make its care a job for the entire family. And be sure to have enough flowers to supply both yourself and the neighâ€" According to our observation and experience, the time to start the flower and vegetable garden is in Jamuary or February. Start with a few postal cards directed to the resâ€" ponsible seed houses asking them for their catalogues. Another card will bring you all the . late government bulleting on garden culture. Fortified with this material, proceed to sell the garden idea to the family. This once accomplished, make the actual plans for space to be used, varieties to be planted and ‘care to be given. The more time and money you spend on the question ‘before actual planting time, the more certain the success of the garden. | Every farm family in Canada is entitled to a wellâ€"kept, productive vegetable garden that will keep them in fresh vegetables all summer with enough surplus to stock the pantry shelves for the entire winter. Furthâ€" ermore, every farm family is entitled to enough shrubbery and flowers to furnish bouquets for every day of the growing season. If you do not have such a vegetable garden and such provision for flowers on your farm, your family is being cheated of the good things that should go with farm life. Land and labor devoted to such a purpose return the richest sort of dividends both in pleasure and in actual profit. This has been pmvedl times without number. * For My burial. Jesus makes the act of Mary a symbol and prophecy of His approaching death. Of course Mary did not mean it that way, and she must have hoped, when she heard Him say these words, that the day of His burial, when it was the custom to anoint the body with perfumes, was far distant. Jesus ceclares also what has become nlmnduntl{ fulfilled, that her simple act of faith and love will e told wheresoever this gospel shall be preached to the whole world. Application. A "beautiful" work was what Jesus called Mary‘s deed and on two counts. "Me ye have not always." It is not easy to live as Jesus did surrounded ’by suspicion and animosity, to be aware that even in the circle of the most intimate friends there was one willing to sell you to your enemies, ‘und to have oftâ€"repeated evidences of the dullness and lack of understandâ€" ing on the part of those who were faithful, His heart must have lonfied for sympathy. How He loved His friends and how the thought of leavâ€" ing them must have wrung His heart. And here was an outburst of affection from one who evidently loved Him far above all earthly treasure. It was a source of strength and solace. Then, too, He read into her action an unâ€" suspected significance, "for my burâ€" ial." Mary had no thought of this. It seemed a far cry from the festiviâ€" ties of Simon‘s house to the tomb hewn out of a rock, yet Jesus was right. And He often surprises those who give to Him with the farâ€"reachâ€" ing issues of their gifts. Even the least service rendered the "least of these" is "unto Me." What revelaâ€" tions await gerierous souls in heaven when the story of what they have really made possible is made plain. | house, and it is anâ€"interesting conâ€" Jecture that Jesus Himself may have been the healer.

The clearing away means removâ€" ing dishes from the table, scraping and stacking the dishes, washing and wiping and putting the dishes in the cupboard. The equipment for this part of the work should be arranged so that the worker can follow a path, as any crose tracks, arrangement of the kitchen is to analyze the work connected with food preparation. It divides itself into two parts, that of food preparation and clearing away after meals. Compare this rearranged kitchen with the diagram above. Mere the pio can be The woman who must use a kitchen which is already made, has a more difficult problem to meet but not necessarily a hopeless one. She can do much by rearrangement. The housewife should, just as fu' as she can, plan her kitchen, keeping constantly in mind the various tasks she performs there and centreing her plans around the tasks of most imâ€" portance andâ€"those which are carried on with most frequency, such as meal preparation, serving the meals and dishwashing. The kitchen should be made convenient for doing these things since they recur most often in the calendar of household duties. If posible the kitchen should not be used as a passage way from the front door to the back door. This also interferes with a convenient arprangeâ€" ment and allows much dust and dirt to be carried into the the kitchen. In this room where we spend so much time and work so hard ‘there should be plenty of light and as few doors as possible. Doors cut up the wall space, making it difficult to arâ€" range equipment.
