Protection from frost is essentlal, yet the temperature must not be high enough to permit growth. From thirtyâ€"three to thirtyâ€" eight degrees, Fahrenheit, may be conâ€" sidered as the extreme range. Venâ€" tilation is necessary, especially during the first week or after harvost, all a certain amount poration, or, as it tab! foll Horseâ€"radish, parsnip and salsify : are not injured by freszing and may | be left in the ground until early spring. It is, however, practically imâ€" | / possible to dig them out of the frozen ] ground during the winter and, for tbil’ reason, other methods of storage are!‘ preferable. Of these, pitting is probâ€"| ably the most satisfactory. When cold'j waather is about to set in, the roots ars placed in a neat, conical pile on a| wellâ€"drained site and covered with I straw to a depth of six or elght inches.| After the roots have stopped sweating, | the straw should be covered with four | or five inches of earth. Where a ton or more of the crop is to be stored in | one pit, ventilation shafts should bo' provided. In a pit of this nature, the| roots are not likely to freeze, but if : &oy do, they will not thaw again until | te in the spring as the straw and earth act as an insulator. This class| of vegetables may also be stored in a | good, cool cellar, if space is available.| Potatoés, turnips, beets and carrots| all require similar storage conditions. | They may be satisfactorily stored in | wellâ€"constructed pits, with a covering sufficiently heavy to prevent frost inâ€" Jury, but, as a general rule, the best storage place is a well ventilated, yet| frostâ€"preof, cellar. Small quantities, may be kept in good condition by being packed in moist sand either in the #sellar or in any place where frost or a temperature above forty degrees may be avoided. Cabbages, although not injured by a light freezing, are usually of better flnality if untouched by frost after harvest. Dry air and temperatures are very injurious, as cabbages wild easâ€" Uy. For this reason, outâ€"door pitting is very satisfactory. _ The cabbages are pulled, leaving the roots on, piled in a contcal pile, with the heads down, and covered with straw and earth in the same manner as the pit described for parsnips. Where extremely cold weather occurs, an additional covering of straw and earth should be added as late in the season as possible. Cabâ€" bages may also be stored in a moist, eool cellar. | Squash and pumpkins difer from other vegetables in that they should be stored in a dry place where the temperature may go as high as fifty degrees. An attic or an unused room in the house is usually quite satisfacâ€" tory, providing the temperature does not go below the freezing point. Onions require much the same conâ€" dition as pumpkin and squash, except that the temperature must be kept comparatively low, yet above freezing. Celery is probably the most difficult of all vegetables to keep throughout the entire winter. It may be stored in an outside pit, but is better transâ€" planted late in the fall, into moist sand, in a dark cool cellar. In doing this as much of the root system as possible is retained and the plants are set quite close together. Throughout the winter, the roots must be kept Or ditio that comyp this as much of the root system as possible is retained and the plants are set quite close together. Throughout the winter, the roots must be kept moist by carefully watering the sand trom time to time. If the tops are wet, rotting will soon start. In order to prevent molsture condensing on the teaves, adequate ventilation is necesâ€" sary, but care must be taken to preâ€" vent freezing, as celery will not keep well if it has been frozen in storage.

IOWsS Top injury to raspberries is very easily prevented in the most ssvere regions by the complete covering with earth, as previously referred to, but in districts such as Eastern Ontario it is only necessary to bend down the canes and place a few shovelfuls of earth on the tips to retain the canes in a recumbent position so that they may be covered by the snow and thus protected. Late cultivation of all bush fruits should be discouraged, as well ripened wood is just as essential as it is in the case of trees. Aside from the ravages of winter, depredations of rodents account for heavy losses in young fruit trees. These animals, when food is searce in winter, will strip the bark from young trees, sometimes completely girdlingi them, causing their ultimate duth.| This can be prevented by wrapping the trees in the fall of the year with building paper, or by placing around each tree a coll of expanded metal lath to a height of about two feet. These may be purchased, cut to the required width and length, and are easily fasâ€" tened together by pieces of galvanized wire. They make for permanency and in the long run are cheaper than the yearly use of paper.

Turkeys of good breedingâ€"that is,| purebred stockâ€"are always in good| demand for breeders. _ Keep luch| turkeys on range as long as possiblol and feed very little fattening food. A diet of wheat, corn and millet is good, given very sparingly to avoid an overâ€" fat conditions. Unless such grains are, of first class quality, thoroughly m-| tured and free of sap and mold, it is better to toast them in an oven to a{ light brown before feeding. Fat, it is well to remember, is an objectionable feature in breeding turkeys. 1 Turkeys for the Thanksgiving and Christmas trade should be fat, yet proâ€" ducing this fat condition and saving the turkeys is not an easy matter, for it is well to remember no fat turkey is long a healthy one. To produce a fat turkey, therefore, and at the same time a healthy turkey, one must bring about this fat condition by degrees, and not abruptly. Exorcise is essential for health, therefore such turkeys should be kept on range as long as possible and given fattening foods, such as corn, for a period of two or more months, graduâ€" ally increasing the amount till turkeys show prospects of getting fat by marâ€" keting time. To find a slow leak in tire, remove‘ inner tube and pump it up as much as it will stand without buiging. If imâ€" mersion in water fails to show the leak, as will usually be the case with a slow leak, hang the tube up in a place where it will not be disturbed. A day or so later when it becomes plain that some of the air has escaped, pump it up again.

A farmer who recently bought nine head of purebred hogs by mail, said to me i "Yes, that man in Eastern Ontnriol apparently had some mighty good hogs and at mighty good prices. But when I received his reply to my query, I was doubtful. He wrote with a pencil on a piece of square paper ruled off with pencil. His writing looked hasty, and there was not a sign of prosperity about the letter. Now I figure that a man who is in the farming business, whether it is wheat, corn, dairy cattle, horses or hogs, ought to be successful enough to use an individual letterâ€" head. So I passed up that offerâ€"and, mind you, it might have been a good oneâ€"for this chap over in Bruce County who uses a typewriter and some specially printed letterâ€"heads. . . Say, you ought to see that letterâ€"head of his. Come into the house and I‘ll show it to you." Perhaps this man was the exception to the rule. Perhaps the average buy-! er pays no attention to the kind of letâ€" ter the other fellow writes. But other things being equal, isn‘t the man who puts his message on a clean white sheet, with his name and address printed at the top, with the name of his farm in big bold leters, and eapeâ€" clally if the message is typed, going to have a better hearing than the one who writes with a pencil or rusted pen and on a sheet torn from the hoy‘s school tablet? Of course, that is a problem for each one to decide. Expense is the first consideration. But, after all, this kind of good appearance is nothing more than advertising itself, and one ghould turn to it as instinctively as one does when he fixes up a little beâ€" fore the arrival of the prospective purâ€" chaser of the place.

So Jesus describes the love of God to penitent sinners who return to him, + Men do not know the love of God, and. how he yearns for the sinner to come back. Had they known it, could they have upbraided Jesus for ‘olnf after the outcast and the lost? ~Burely they could not. The purpose of the gn\ able, therefore, is to show the differâ€" ence between God and the harsh and narrow Pharisees of the day. Jesus must fio after the outcast, for there is &y n heaven when sinners repent. e are to think of God as like the father in the parable. The sins of men are a tmgedy to him, and the redemption of their souls is precious. ' APPLICATION. How foolbg was it of this overâ€" privileged lad to leave home and plunge into a life of debauchery and excess! How disenchanting and deâ€" grading to find himself feeding pigs and eating the hucks which the .3|n. did eat! Is it any more so than the cxperience of ln{ one who becomes enâ€" slaved by drink? In June of 1807 we gone; F The worm, the canker and the grief Are mine alone! The prodigal zon could have said the same. 4 When this prodl{gll came back to his father he found forgiveness and resâ€" toration. The heavenly Father is able and willing to save unto the uttermost, all those who come unto God, through letterâ€"file. One of these can be bought for as low as $5 or $6 and is certainly worth the money. In this all business letters should be kept, the sheets openâ€" ed flat and stood on edge. If the inâ€" quiries which come in can be divided into several classes, then dividers should be set in the main file and each group of letters arranged alphabeticâ€" ally. To serve the same purpose, but Then come letterâ€"heads and printed envelopes. These can be purchased for almost nn%hprlcn and they are of many grades. e best way is to work out the heading definitely and jot it down on paper, then take the proposition to several printers for quotations. A light buff or grey paper is often more attractive than plain white. If you can afford it, a small cut of the home place or one of the prize animals }lhonld be worked into the hcading. Often the same type and wording ' which appear on the top of your letterâ€" heads can be duplicated in the upper leftâ€"hand corner of the envelopes. in a more limited way, one of the smaller book files can be bought for less than a dollar. It will pay to get a large order of printing at one time, as 1,000 enâ€" velopes and letterâ€"heads will cost less proportionately than 500. It will also pay to get two sizes of envelopesâ€"one for straight correspondence, and the other of No. 10 size, which will take additional papers when necessary. Now everything is complete but the typewriter. You can learn to use one in a short time. Your first letter will not be a masterpiece, but it will be better than the letter my friend menâ€" tioned. If there is a young man or woman in the home who secretly covets the privilege of learning to write on a standard keyboard, why not turn that end of the business over to him or her? Usually a book of inâ€" structions, which shows how to proâ€" ceed, is included with a typewrrbor. The machine itself may cost only $10 or $15â€"or it may be a brand new one and cost $100. Suit yourself. But it should payâ€"and pay big. || GoInG AFTER THE | They are not interested in going to ‘the barn. ‘They are more comfortable where they are, but after much loud hallooingâ€"sometimes strong talkâ€" !you get them on their feet and after Iltreuhlng and yawning they do not ‘ start for the barn, but quletly go to feeding. They have to be driven, perâ€" In the late fall, when the October frost has colored the grass white, you find them after a Iounmrch in the early twilight, also lying down.

And then you try your volce and command of language tohrtthomtoftham up and started while you are continuing to warm your feet,. Not a one will budge. You make a race for the next one, there warm your feet for a moment, and then to another. There is a better way than this to rt the cows, Have some appetizing ood waiting for them in their manâ€" gers. Many days you will not have to go for them at all, They will be waitâ€" ing for you to open the stable door, but if not, a cheerful c bas! col co! will bring them without any persuad ingâ€"and they will give more milk. Their Leaves. The identification of varieties of apple trees, previous to bearing, from the character of the leaves, is being undertaken by the Horticultural Diviâ€" sion of the Dominion Experimental Farms Branch, according to the report of the Director. Up to the present time, it has been found possible to identify sixteen varieties in this way. A system whereby the variety may bo determined from the leaves of the tree, and without waiting for the fruit, will be of great practical value to the orchardist as well as to the nurseryâ€" man. It not infrequently happens that trees prove untrue to name when they come into bearing. By the sysâ€" tem referred to, it will no longer be necessary to wait for five to cight yeare until this stage is reached, but the young orchard may be gone over the year after planting and untrue varieties discovered. _ By the same method the nurseryman may positively identify his stock and thus prevent loss and disappointment to purchasers. Can Identify Apple Trees by The Economy of the Silo. The silo is the cheapest and most efficient coarse fodder storage buildâ€" ing that can be used on the farm. A ton of clover or corn, field cured and stored in the farm barn requires at least 400 cubic feet of space. The same quantity of corn or glover would occupy but 50 cubic feet ofusilo space. The storage of 50 tons of clover or corn made up as dry hay or corn fod der would require a barn 40‘x80‘x10‘, costing not less than $1,200. The same quantity of fodder made up as silage could be stored in a silo 10‘x30‘, costâ€" ing less than $200. With silo flling operations nearly completed for this year the lesson of economy of storage ‘space has been demonstrated once more. The Dead Sea contains nearly 26 per cent. salt.
