He is authoritative. He speaks as the king of the kingdom. Love your enemies. In the first part of the Sermon en the Mount he deals with the Beatitudes and shows that the blessedness of life within the kingdom are based on inward character, not on external conditions of life. It is the poor, the meek, the persecuted, who are blessed. He sweeps away any thought of the kingdom as a kingdom of world blessâ€" edness. Now Jesus proceed to lay down the motive that must actuate the operation of the kingdom in the workd. The one constant motive is to be that of love asserting itself in action. The agoression of hate is to be met with the aggression of love. Here as elsewxhere he sets himself V. 28. Bless them that curse you. The motive of love was to pervade the speech of Christ‘s followers. The hymn of hate was to be answered by a hymn of lbove.

Unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other. Smiting on the face was a common: form of Insult in the East. It was an insult rather than an injury. "Even a slave would rather be scourged than buffeted. The law imposed a fine for the first buffet and a double fine for the «econd. This command of Jesus is not meant to prevent one from deâ€" fending the weak and helpless from the tyranny of the violent. The blow that is struck in defence of the weak is not the same in spirit as the blow of wanton violence. Jesus means that the spirit of the Christian is not to be the spirit of mere rotaliation. There in w.io a different motive. Him that taketh away thy cloke . . thy coat also. The law provided that the outer raiment of a ffxb!qr might be seized as a pledge. But Jesus says that if one took the cloke or outer robe from his follower, he is to let him have his coat or inner garment also. Again it is principle, not the particular comâ€" mand that is important. Just as perâ€" somal rights are not the supreme thing, so also legal rights must someâ€" times be surrendered for love‘s sake. V. 30. Give to ecvery man . . . ask them not nfuin. This command shows still more clearly that Jesus is dealing with principles A literal fulfilment of this command would involve indisâ€" criminate giving with its inevitable results of evil. The saint‘y William Law is said to have demcvalized his whole neighbovhood by the !teral fulâ€" fAilment of this command.

A Roman by the name of Sulla now sleeps beneath a monument upon which is inscribed this legend, "No friend ever did me so much good or enemy so much harm but I repaid him with interest." The Jewish doctors of the Law construed their scriptures to mean, thou shalt love thy friends and hate thine enemies. But Jesus laid down a new principle, "Love thine enemy." jasnge 37 The youth‘s companion should be his father; the girl‘s companion, her mother. The whole family should be churrs.

This beautifully designed group surâ€" mounts the monumeni erected by the city of Westmount in memory of her citizens who served overseas in the Great War. it was erected at a cost of $40,000 and wil} be unvelled skortly. Success is more often accomplished by giving two thought to one action, than one thought to two actions. This applies to farming as well as other cccupations. Some eleven years ago, J. G. Wait, Co‘borne, Ont., started to keep records of production of each cow in his herd. Toâ€"day, Mr. Wait‘s herd is an outâ€" standing example of the results to be obtained through cowâ€"testing where dairy records are used by the dairyâ€" man 2s a guide to his operations in breeding and feeding and selection. At the end of the first year of testâ€" ing in 1911, the average production cf fourteen cows in this herd was only 5,438 lb. milk. At that time a test was not made for butter fat. In 1921 the average production of fifteen cows was 10,080 lb. milk ond 371.3 lb. fat according to the rocords received at the offica of the Dairy Branch. This is an increase of nearly 100 per cent., and income has been raised from about $500 in 1911 to over $3,000 in 1921, an increase of over 600 per cent. Dairy records have certainly proved a great benefit to this man in his business. After the first year of this work, Mr. Wait found some wide differences in the production of his individual cows. The highest production was, 7,676 lb. milk while the lowest was 2976 lb. milk. There wore also sevâ€"‘ eral other cows which were not paying for the feed consumed. These cows were sold and others purchased to take their places and in 1913 the proâ€", ductin per cow was increased to 6,967| Ib. milk for eleven cows. In 1914 only, eight cows were in the herd for the; full year and the average production for these cows was 9,328 Ib. milk. Thus after four years of careful se-: lection of the best cows and a weed-l ing out of the poor producers, Mr. Wait had eight cows which produced, almost the same amount of milk as: fourteen cows had produced during, the year 1911. These results made for more economical production as the feed and labor costs were not so great, while the income was nearly the same.| The increase in production during the first few ycears was due almost entirely to weeding out the poorer cows, although pureâ€"bred sires had been used in herd. From this time on, heifers from pureâ€"bred sires were freshening and rep‘acing the old cows or those found to be real boarders. When records were first kept, this herd was a grade herd similar to those found on the majority of farms. They were a nondescript bunch of cattle with all sorts of grades and crosses. However, the pureâ€"bred cow appealed‘ to Mr. Wait and he started in early, to purchase pureâ€"bred Holstein cows., One of these cows has a total producâ€". tion of over 100,000 !b. milk in eight years, or an average of 12,500 Ib. milk per year, which is a very creditable reerd. Another foundation cow has a production of 54,656 !b. milk and. 2,073.8 lb. fat in four years, an aver-i age of 13,664 lb. milk and 518.4 !b. After 1914 it was more difficult to| obtain increases in production as it was impossible to buy the higher proâ€"| ducing cows except for exceptionarlly} high prices and Mr. Wait was contenti: to build up his herd by using as good ; a sire as he was financially able bol purchase. However, there was proâ€"| gress each year, and the highest averâ€" age production per cow was reached in 1918 when eight mature cows averâ€" aged 12,547 1b. milk and 489 lb. fat. This was the first year records of butâ€" ter fat were kept and the tests were| very good. The last few years young| fat per year very good. Lhe iast few years young heifers have been added to the herd and have decreased the average proâ€" duction for the whole herd, but the highest individual production was made in 1921 when one cow produced 16,319 Ib. milk and 603.9 lb. fat during the calendar year. In May of this year Mr. Wait the sevenâ€"day Record of Merit test and had the satisfaction of having one of them head the list of mature cows with a production of 741.7 }b. milk and 26.31 !b. butter fat or 32.89 Ib. butter in seven days. The other cows did wel!l and all had records of over 22 Ib. butter in seven days. His best cow was also on R.O.P. test and for the 365 day period had a record of 17,081 lb. milk and 760 lb. butter. These records are very creditable conâ€" sidering that they were made during In May of this year Mr. Wait branched out and did some official testing. He put four of his cows on BREAKING NEW LAXND IN MANITOBA.

WHITE, SENIOR DAIRY PROMOTER. Cowâ€"Testing and Iis Value |_ The value of using only good, pureâ€" |bred sires has been well demonstmtedi [in the progress of this herd. At the | present time, it is composed entirely ‘of purcâ€"bred H:‘steins, and has been ‘ built up from two or three foundation icows. The daughters have proved to be better producers than their dams. Before selling off all his grades, Mr. Wait had some very high producing grade cows in the herd. Two grade ‘Ho‘steins had average production reâ€" ‘ cords of over 12,000 and 11,000 1. milk extending over a period of years. Such records as these demonstrate the value of the pureâ€"bred sire even in a grade herd. Mr. Wait is a good feeder and gives his cows every care, which tends toâ€" wards increased production. He has two silos on the farm, thereby insuring plenty of succulent feed, and he feeds a grain ration of bran, shorts, cat chop, corn, oil meal, and cotton seed cake. These grains and concentrates with clover hay and silage make a we‘l talanced and palatable ration, which has helped in keeping up milk proâ€" duction. Mr. Wait also believes in feeding according to production, and has found the daily milk record a great help in apportioning his grain Mr. Wait‘s first attempt at official testing and were made by cows which have been bred and raised by himself. ration properly. Nor has Mr. Wait been alone in the‘ matter of herd improvement. Therei are three or four other farmers in thei same district who can point to increasâ€" ed production due to selection, feedâ€" ing, and the use of pureâ€"bred sires, and these men have been guided in their work by the milk record sheet and Babcock tester. They have been testing for some years and have obâ€" tained results. In 1919 the average production of 61 cows in 6 herds was 8,623 lb. milk and 302.4 lb. fat; while in 1921 the average production of 53 cows in four herds was 9,413 Ib. milk and 335.6 lb. fat, showing a docided increase in the last two or three years, and an average production fully 100 per cent. greater than that of all dairy cows in Ontario or in Canada.

But Dr. Felt, the atate entomologist of New York, says that it is at least possible to keep down the numbers of most insects to m point where they can do little harm, and where they are even in danger of complete extermination by natural causes. That can be done only after a careful study of the conditions that favor or obstruct their breeding, ard then by ‘rterfering to produce eondiâ€" tions that are unfavorable. The malâ€" eria mosquito, for example, has been virtually exterminated in many pleaces by covering all the pools of stagnant water with a film of oil. The larvae f the insect die because they cannot rise to the surface through the oil. So, by appropriate measures, the cattie tick has been quite cleared out of no less than five hundred thousand square miles of territory. Creatures like the boll weevil and the corn borer are more difficut to reach. It is probable that they can never be wiped out unless nature comes to the uid of man with some discase or blight that the insets canâ€" not resist. It has beer suggested that the boll weevil might be starvel out by the expedient of planting no cotton at all for one year. It would be hard to get every planter to agres to that, but if it were possible the plan might be efficacious. Persistent and thorough spraying will overcome some insect enemics; the destruction of trash hoaps and undergrowth where they breec will keep other species under «ontrol, Some, like the corn borer, presen: a problem as yet unsolved. But the plan of campaign against all those tircless enemies of man is the same. Thove must be first a careful, seientific study of the life history and the habits of each species, then the widest possible publication of the results of thet study, with instructions for sttrcking it in its breeding places, and (naly the intelligent coâ€"cperation of yu>li> authoritiee and private citizens in carrying out those insiructio®s. Not many species can be destroyed at sne blow. Against most of them the warâ€" fare must be continual, the vigilance unremitting; but if man puts his misd and his will to the work, he can set the better of his insect enemies as he !n. got the better of the savage on the ration of alfalfa hay and a standard grain mixture.
