" " EI Answer.--lt is questionable it any- thing can be done at this time ot year to effectively kill sow thistles. It has been claimed that certain salt ma- terials can be applied to advantage on sow thistle patches, but the great dit. nculty is that anything that will kill sow thistles will kill all other crops that grow on the soil, for some time. in tests conducted in Perth county during ts, past three years. most et. tectlve treatment ot sow thistles was obtained by midsumme. plowing, let- ting the land lie in ridges till it was nearly dried, then disking again in September. In the spring. sow I mix.ed strain after again thoroughly working the soil and seed with alfalfa or clover mixture. in order to give the grain a vigorous start and to in- sure a healthy stand ot legumes, apply about 250 to 375 lbs ot fertilizer per acre. On medium loam soil. 2-12-6 has been found elective. With this aid the grain makes such a vigorous start that it successtully competes with trsl For cultivated crops. as a general rule. fertilizers are applied in spring. There is some argument tor applying the prosphate and potash in the fall, although a double application would increase the cost of operation. . More. over. if your soil is at all acid in Je- action the phosphate which is applied in the fertilizer in the tall would have an opportunity to become locked up in unavailable combinations with the iron and aluminum of the soil. It a ter. tilizer carrying nitroge. is applied in the tall there is danger ot the nitro. gen being lost by leaching. We have known instances where alfalfa is tom dressed with fertilizers to advantage in the fall, although, comparing results with those obtained from spring appli- cation. there is no argument in favor ot the fall application.

It gain is made the object in one's life, one must inevit- ably fail. for the simple reason that the best things of lite are not to he gained by striving for them; they are ot a texture that cannot be grasp- ed. One may strive tor bread and win it. but one may strain every nerve to breaking in the pursuit of happiness, and he will never over- take it. On the other hand, it ser- vice is made the object in one's lite, that life cannot be a failure, for the reason that on has chosen the only path above which the windows of heaven are always open. The hath piness that eludes the grasp of every man who strives for it descends. like the gentle dew of heaven, upon him who is striving in service. He also gains what he wives for, and more. (But I'll take mine in the movies, It it's all the same tis you'.) Answer.-plow the soil as early as it will work in spring. Work it down thoroughly by disking and borrowing. You had better have the soil tested tor acidity.

Beans do best on a soil ot medium sweetness. On a similar soil to that which you describe. best yields were obtained where a hall ton limestone, was " plied per acre as early as the soil would work in spring. At the time the beans were planted they were tertil ized with 4-12-6 fertilizer at the rate or 250 lbs. per acre. This fertilizer was applied through the dropper ot a combined grain and fertilizer drill with all tubes running. Now let the rain sweep over hill and lane, And fill the lake.

ONTATRTOV ARCHIVES TORONTO "Straightway they forsook their nets and followed him," v. 18. "Fol- lowing Jesus” means, first of all, mak- ing up their minds to do so. They decided-and then acted. To follow Jesus meant, for them, to leave their work and their homes. Their work gave them 1 livelihood precarious e;.ough, but it was all they had, and they could not. afford to lose it.

John's Gospel tells how two of them met him at Jordan- side. As fishermen, they would pos- sess certain qualities of body and mind which would make them effective as religious leaders. They would have great powers of endurance, patience, promptness (the net must be thrown immediately the fish were running) bravery. Living close to Nature in all her varied moods would develop 3 ca- ragity for _tlteP_pttitual. _ - -.. Jesus said, "Follow me, and I will make you to become fishers of men." What "fishers of men" meant, they would not clearly understard then, but the phrase would appeal to them. Whatever this new life which Jesus offered would involve, it would, in some way, be similar to the old. They were to learn later-what we all learn when we put it to the triaL-that those qualities which a man develops as he faithfully does the task in hand, will make him more effective in what- ever work his master gives him to do. The way to get a better job is to put our best into the one we have now. INTRODUCTION - To be generous with one's money is not all of Chris- tian stewardship.

Memorial to Malta's Chief Scout The Congreve Memorial Hall "'ld 1Archwayin memory of General Sir ‘Walter Congreve, V.C., K.C.B., a form- (er Governor and Chief Scout ot Malta, was recently opened by Sir David Campbell, Governor-General and pre. sent Chief Scout. The hall is to he used as headquarters of the Malta Scouts. Farther along the shore Jesus came to James and John mending their nets with their father, Zebedee. They, too, answered the call. In the East to leave one's wife was one thing, to leave one's parents quite another. "Ut me first bury my father" was the young man's way of saying that he could not leave home while his father was alive-at that moment probably quite well. Zebedee, how- exer, was fairly well off. He could pay for his help. Nevertheless there is a touch of pathos in the line, "They left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants." When youth, answering some "call" leaves home, It is the parents left behind who often suffer most. To follow Jesus means to give up whatever may stand in the way of the particular service which the hour calls for. Some men Jesus called away from home. It is signifi- cant that it was only some. Each indi- vidual situation requires its own pe- culiar action. For most of us. the call is to witness for Christ at home- thtdnosstAiffieult place. _ _ What did Jesus ask from those who would follow him,--tinswera tc a list of theologicul questions, such as the churches uk? No. He asked for a personal loyalty and eompaniontship. For his demand, we have substituted strange. For the single men it was simpler. One at least was married. Lhey were gripped by the persuasive power of Jesus' personality. The man himself made an irresistible appeal to them. Is it not so still?
