Though plants should not be cod- dled by too much covering, a luck of this is often enoligh fatal, and undue exposure to severe cold certainly :1an the vitality of any plant to some ex- tent. The golden mean may be attained by a study of the environment of the variety in question. Tho more tender Planta, among them the hollyhock. are satisfactorily protected by the inverting of a box or erate of leaves upon them, one side of which has been removed to promote the circulation of air. While often used outdoors in sum~ mer, it is perhaps of all plants the first to feel the frost, and so at the first hint of eohi it must be immedi- ately moved indoors. An ordinary covering of leaves without such extra protection may be held in place by bougha or stones. Especial care is essential in protect- ing the tree peony. which forms its Bower buds the autumn before they are to bloom, and the hydrangea, whose blossoms are each year borne on last year’s stems. Both these plants may be protected by a fence of chicken wire upheld by heavy sticks, tho space between the plant and the wire being fiiled yith leaves. Foxgloves and Canterbury bells are best handled by protecting the crowns with branches and piling leaves upon them, in this way preventing the pack- ing and freezing of a covering above the plants, while providing some ven- tilation. A mulch of manure is Irene, fieial to almost any plant save the pony. although fresh manure is fatal to some varieties and breeds vermin, so should never be employed. Geranium: my be brought indoors with excellent malts. Annuals de- sired for house culture my be sown in mm in the house. Some of these will flower in little more than tt month after sowing. In preparing the garden for winter, the problem of covering must be con- sidered. This must neyer be applied until the ground is frozen hard. The' object of covering is not to protect the plants from cold, but to protect them from the consequences of pos- sible thaws, which may induce a be- ginning of growth, fatal to the plant in case of a sudden later freeze. In the same way samurai roses may be protected by driving three boards into the earth about them in such a way as to form a triangle, the stem of the rose tree in the centre.

An experiment conducted at the Indian Head, Sash, Dominion Ex- perimental Farm, relating to the feed- ing of cod liver oil to chicks shows that the oil is beneficial. Two Iota of chicks, one of 48 and one of 49, were used in the experiment, at the end of which 46 of the oil division were alive and 44 of the. no oil division. Also the chicks given the cod liver oil made greater growth te, better develop- ment than the oth rs. Again none of the chicks given the oil showed leg weakness while ten per cent. of the others did. The oil was given as two per cent. of the wet mash. At the conclusion of the experiment proper the chicks in Lot 2 were given the oil and in a very few days, the Super- intendent in his annual report states, all signs of leg weakness had disap- peared and the chicks had improved in vigor and general thrlttiness. Vs. 5, 6. Paul did not flatter, nor did he make the gospel a pretext or screen for obtaining financial assist- ance, or reputationror anything of that kind. He takes God to witness that he never required any kind of support at the hands of the Thessal- onians, though as an apostle of Christ he might have done so without dia- credit. II. METHODS OF THE CHRISTIAN uls- SIGN, 7-12. V. 7. Paul knew that in a young Christian community the character of the missionary is all-important, and he recalls the patience and gentleness with which ho had nursed the souls of his converts into Christian faith and love. V. 9. He recalls how hard he work- ed at his manual trade of tent-maker while at Thessalonica. All day he wrought, and " night his lamp was still burning in the workshop. And all that he might preach the gospel freely on Sabbaths and on other oe- casions, not requiring any monetary aid from the people among whom he labored. called the Thessalonians to repentance and to.faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as__Savio_ur 9nd Judge of all. _ _ _ v. 4. Paul spoke as a man who felt that God had called him to preach the gospel. He was conscious in God's sight of a very honoring but very solemn responsibility. Therefore, he made it his object never to please men, never, that is, to seek popularity for selfish ends, but always to make the will of God his one reason for every- thing _ ___ '_ V. 8. In his yearning over their souls he gave them, not only the gas- pel, but in a very real sense he, own self as well. He loved them devoted- ly, and counted no traeritiee too great to make for the sake of Bringing them into the kingdom. The various experiments of which full and clear tables of results are given were as follows: (1) Beef scrap vs. tankage vs. liver tankage vs. raw liver; (2) Animal protein experiment with hatching result; (3) Mmgels vs. sprouted oats vs. clover leaves vs. cabbage vs. Epsom salts vs. no green feed.

Use good. firm ‘cucumbers (not too late), cut from the vines with a pair of sharp scis- fsors leaving about one-half inch stem ion each. Handle them carefully so as not to bruise them. Wash clean and wipe dry. The scum that forms on top of the brine that covers cu- cumbers is caused by a gum. The cu- cumbers can be put first in weak brine until-this gum is extracted, then into the strong brine where they are to remain. For the strong brine, put a two or three-inch layer of coarse salt in the bottom of the jar, then a layer of closely-packed cucumbers, cover with salt, and proceed in this way until all the cucumbers are used, topping " with a layer of salt. and over that a layer of freshly-picked grape 'or cabbage leaves.

Add enough water to start cooking. When fruit is soft, strain through a jeLly bag. Add three-fourths of a pound of sugar for each pint of juice and proceed as in making apple jelly. This is much better than cranberry jeli'y, and can be used trtl summer with chicken and cold meats. Apple and Quince Preserve-Use one-third apples and two-thirds quinces. Pare and core fruit and cut in halves, quarters, or slice across in rings. Cook the quinces until tender in water to which has been added the juice of a lemon. Then place in a syrup made with water and sutrar--- one cupful of water to three cupfuls of sugar. Bring to boiling point and let the quinces remain in boiling sy- rup one minute. Remove the quinces, put the apples in the syrup and sim- mer until clear and red, which may take an hour. Place apples and quinces in alternate layers in tho jars and when the syrup has penetrated tho apples they will not be distin- guishable from the quinces. Grape-and-Apple Jeily has a pleas- ing color and delicious flavor. Use equal quantities of grape and apple juice, boil for five minutes, then weigh. To four pounds of juice odd three pounds of sugar, return to tire and cook to the jelly stage. Pour jelly into sterilized glasses and seal. The pulp can be used for marmalade. Rub pulp through a iseve, weigh, add three-fourths as much sugar (more if pulp is tart), then cook until it thickens. Apple Jeily--To four quarts of ap-] pies cut into quarters, add one-half pint of cider vinegar, one-half tea-, spoonful of ground doves, one-half tetuspoonful of ground auspice, one teaspoonful of ginger, one teaspoonful : of cinnamon and one teaspoonful of: salt.

Pare, core and quarter firm apples. and when the syrup is boiling, drop the quarters in until the liquid covers one layer. Re- move as soon as the upples can be pierced with a straw, and continue the process as long as the syrup lasts. These are almost as delicious as spiced peaches.

Of Interest to Swine Breeders. The Dept. of Agriculture at Ottawa has performed good service by pub- lishing in a 60 page pamphlet a full report of the proceedings at the org- anization meeting of the Western Swine Committee at Saskatoon, Sash, on April 3 and 4 of the present year. This meeting, it will be remembered, was presided over by the Dominion Live Stock Commissioner and attend- ed by the chief live stock offieitrU and swine breeders of the provinces. Dis- cussions took place on a variety of subjects of value and interest to swine breeders, including Western swine marketing problems, the basis of esti- mating the ten per cent. premium for selects. educationd problems, filling, shrinking and bruising and problems relating to breeding snd teeding. It will be Acknowledged that s-ll these topics are of importance both to the snail and ism swine breeder and, therefore, s study of the publication, which csn be had free from the Pub- lications Branch of the Department in Ottawa, is to be commended.

When the pickles are wanted for hble use, take out enough to last about one week, freshen them in clear, cold-water baths until they are plump and just right to the taste.
