All worship is true and real in proâ€" portion as the worshipper is absorbed in the honoring of his God. 1 esw o t o en t Our Lord first gives two injuncâ€" tions how not to pray. Man has been described as the praying animal. When we go forth from our solitude to meet our fellows, we feel challengâ€" ed to put our best foot forward.

Speaking generally, farmâ€" ers would make more money from both eggs and poultry by properly preparing and packing these products.

Those who deâ€" ) Heavy losses are incurred as the direct result of insect pests on all classes of live atock, and stock men must be continually on the watch to keep them from doing harm. Perâ€" haps the most logical way to prevent injury is in the direction of the proâ€" tection of stock from flies and other insects, not so much by the use of remedies, but by assisting stock to escape from attack.

Shipping coops should be high enough to enable the birds to stand up. A coop three feet long, two feet Goodâ€"sized, wellâ€"matured birds in good condition for fattening can often be marketed to best advantage at Thanksgiving. Small, immature turâ€" keys should be held until Christmas, for further fattening, but if the birds are unthrifty market them at once. ’Sa]es outlets to raisers within exâ€" press shipping distance of good marâ€" kets are local consumers, local buyers and dealers, more distant buyers or dealers and carlot shippers, and re ceivers or commission merchants of live or dressed poultry in the large cities.

Distant buyâ€"I ers will mail quotations on request. l The experts say that range fattenâ€" ing is more satisfactory than pen fatâ€" tening. Begin fattening about three weeks or a month before marketing, and proceed gradually by feeding lightly on corn in the morning and again in the evening a short time beâ€" fore the turkeys go to roost.

The logical thing to do is to bring the vines down and bury them with soil or rough litter and leaves. Tender climbing roses and clematis may be safely wintered in this manâ€" ner, but care must be taken that the | branches are not broken during the process of bending them to the soil |level. When soil is used it should be ‘so mounded over the vines that it ‘will to some extent shed water. On | top of the soil a covering of leaves or |straw is given after the ground | freezres. | _ Borders and beds filled with springâ€" -} flowering bulbs may be covered with ) either manure or leaves. I have tried ,both without any apparent difference ‘ in the growth or flowers, but the !'mulch must be removed just as the / tops come through the soil in spring, | otherwise they are liable to be broken. Lilies planted in the fall which may 'not have had sufficient time to beâ€" come well rooted can be safely proâ€" tected with the aid of ashes. Ashes to a depth of nine to twelve inches are placed over the clump or row of bulbs to be protected, brought to a sharp peak and made firm so that they will row off the rain. Strawberries must have a manure mulch if a good crop of extra fine !fruit is to be harvested next year. Do not place it over the plants, but use freely between the rows and close up to the plants. It is best not to apply it until the ground freezes. After the manure is in place cover the tops of the plants with a little straw or leaves, holding them in place with light boughs or brush. | ’ A very heavy covering is, generally | speaking, not advisable, and if leaves I.re used in moderation they will perâ€" mit adequate air to find its way to the ! crowns so that overmuch moiSture wil} | never be present over the crowns of |the plants. The dead stalks of tallâ€" | growing herbaceous plants should be | cut down and laid over the plants beâ€" fore covering them with leaves, as their presence prevents the leaves from becoming matted and heavy over Ithe crowns, where rot may be apt to [start if no air reaches them. Beds devoted entirely to roses, espeâ€" cially if they be hybrid teas, should receive a very heavy mulch of leaves, after first spreading manure ‘over the bare ground between the plants. To keep the leaves in place the bed is fenced around with poultryâ€"wire notâ€" ting which prevents them from being blown by the winds. Tender varieties of roses are also protected by pulling the soil up the stems to a height of six to nine inches. Even should they be frozen down to the soil level, when cut back to good live wood in spring they will quickly send up strong shoots. | _ The mulch, or protective covering, | should not be put on until the ground freezes, the idea being to hold the *fmst in the ground once it is there, and so prevent the plants from heayâ€" |ing. In the main, there are two evils lto be guarded against: First, undue covering of all plants retaining part | of their foliage, whereby rot is enâ€" 'couraged: and second, to prevent ‘hmving, in which case the roots are torn from their anchorage in the soil and are therefore liable to be killed. they been covered with leaves, would have come through the winter unâ€" scathed. Manure is excellent for some subjects and is of great value as a winter mulch, provided it is applied at the right place. But a heavy layer of manure piled on top of those plants which retain their foliage over winter, such as Canterbury bells, foxgloves, hollyhocks and primulas, will encourâ€" age rot. Plants that become perfectly dormant and have no soft shoots or eyes may safely be covered with maâ€" nure, but its proper place is between the plants, not over them. There is no better material for the protection of our flower borders than leaves, and as an abundant supply of leaves may be had for the gathering, there is no excuse for losing many of our plants over winter.
