Looking back over a long stretch of time, the writer of this book draws for us an idealixcd picture of Samuel as one of Israel's outstanding benefac- tors. Samuel stood at the cross-roads in the history of the people, when their political fortunes took a new turn, and it was the country's good fortune that such a wise and tactful statesman and religious genius was at the helm when the transition from a loose national organiza made. 1.

During his long life he learned to know the weaknesses and the strength of his fellow countrymen, (b) He possessed an unblemished re-l putation. No one could reproach him with having used his high office for" personal gain. (c) He was intensely religious. Of course, that was the secret of his strength. From his childhood he knew the Lord, and his character grew steadily because it was rooted in humble piety. (d) He was fearless. How faithfully he re- minds the people of their put history, and the reasons they have for grati- tude and loyalty to the Lord. How earnestly, too, he attempts to dissuade them from their plans for u monarchy. l (e) Samuel was I rent leader be- lcause he loved his fel ow countrymen, i and bore them on his heart before the l Lord.

DISEASES or THE STRAWBERRY. When setting out a new strawberry patch, old leaves showing symptoms of leaf spot or leaf blotch should be removed. If all the foliage is affected it is better to discard the plants. A As soon as the first symptoms of either leaf spot or leaf scorch appear in the strawberry field, spray imme-i diately with Bordeaux mixture, wing; a 4-4-40 or a 4-6-40 preparation. Keep; the plants well covered with ttprar throughout the season; spraying: every two or three weeks if necessary. The best means of controlling mil- dew is to dust with sulphur, using an 80-20 mixture, as soon as the iirstl symptoms of the disease are observed. Repeat every week or ten days if nec- essary. The dusting will also aid in the control of the strawberry weevil. No farmer who sets out to produce] 3 really firat class animal would con-l rider for a moment the using of 'l'; scrub sire or dam for the purpose. On the other hand there are hundreds of farmers who either through circum- stances or through a lack of a full appreciation of the importance of l proper choice of parents continue to "take a ehanee" on nature presenting them with superior offspring from animals of nondescript or very ordi- nary breeding, and, as in the case of live stock, there are still hundreds of farmers throughout Canada who every year sow "serub" seed and ex- pect or hope to reap a profitable har- vest. The one practice is just as ab- surd as the other. WELL-BRED SEED AND How IT is PRUDI‘CED. Any seed that is able to produce paying crops may be considered to be "well-bred." The artificial breeding of crops did not begin until about the beginning: of the nineteenth century, since which date myriads of varieties and strains have been produced and spread abroad. Experimental Farms and agriculturull colleges throughout Canada have done" and are doing an immense amount of, work in producing varieties suited to different conditions. These institu- tions, however, cannot always furnish the final verdict as to the suitability of a sort for a given farm. This re- quires the consideration of the farmer himself, or at least that of someone in the district who is competent to make a reliable comparative test of the most likely sorts. USE GOOD saw or' CHOSEN VARIETY. In order to produce paying crops it 'is not enough that suitable varieties be grown. Almost equally important is the use of good seed, or, to revert to the terminology of the breeder of ;considered but individuality must be I live trtoek--not only must pedigree be ‘ insisted on as well. "Good seed” may lbe defined an follows, viz.: The difference which exists between varieties not only in general appear- ance but in practical value is enor- mous. Some varieties furthermore are particularly adapted to certain conditions of soil and climate and not at all, or very poorly, to oth'ers. The (a) Seed which belongs to a well.. bred variety which has proved its special fitness for the district where it is to be grown and (b) Seed which has come from strong, vigorous parents, which por sessel strong germinating power; is large, uniform, plump, sound, well matured, free from weed seeds and from other objectionable seeds or kernels.
