Many are of the opinion that "like begets like." In general, this is true, but it is true for general and not for particular qualities. It is true that a maie White Leghorn mated to White Leghorn females will breed chickens that are White Leghorns. or that have white plumage, yellow legs, and white earlobes. But of these offspring there will be no two chicks exactly alike. We find large and small Leghorns; most of them never go broody but some do; some lay eggs that are large, others small eggs. And we find a great variation in the number of eggs pro- duced by different hens. Selection is made on the basis that ahead. Any farmer can put every sash on hi:: farm in first-class shape during winter weather by taking them out a few kt a time and working them in any dry place, such as a heated cellar, shop, or on newspapers laid down in thy farm kitchen. While the windows were out, I covered the apertures with old Mcrr,, board covers, odds and ends of sheet mctal, etc. Keep the sash like will produce like, but experience' has taught all breeders that to secure uniform superiority, they must carry on the selection through generations of poultry. If we select birds that have laid better than 200 eggs in twelve consecutive months and mate these to a male, of similar strain, we do not expect to get all daughters that will lay 200 eggs or more a year, but We do expect upon the average a bet.. ter production than had no selection been made.

There is a small round hole in the centre of each cover and a slit about one inch long on the edge. Through the round hole I serewed a wooden knob, then put putty in the slit, making a sanitary container with an easily removed lid. Since the color scheme in my kit- chen is blue and white I used blue enamel on the knobs and with blue paint added the name of the foodstuff to be kept in each jar, such as rice, tapioca, beans, etc. These uniform, at- tractive jars make a much neuter ap- pearanco on my cabinet shelves than do the paper bags in which foodstuffs are purchased-Mrs. D. C. About a ton, or even more, is usu- ally lost by the rotting of hay stacked on the ground. Why not stack tho hay on a concrete floor sloping slightly from the centre to all four sides? Then all water will drain away from the bottom hay and you have that last ton, a ton of good feed instead of two loads of manure. The work can be done in spare time. The cement and sand or gravel for a good floor should not cast more than $8 or $9. It will save more than that the first season. Poultry Breeding. Prayer is not easy but hard, and becomes harder perhaps as life goes on. Our minds become preeoceapied, with cares and duties; our sense of need becomes increasingly complex and oppressive; we find it hard. to focus our minds gwn God and upon eternal things. Sometimes, too, we fall to thinking that work will take the place of prayer, and if we have a little success we begin to depend upon that. "utoresus never allowed work to drive out prayer, nor did he let auccess steal between himself and God. We would need, therefore, to keep his example before us, and to find in the Ivords which Tle taught his 1iseip1es, any other of the world's great reli- --e -ihrtt 6:9-13. gions.

The first instance select- ed of Christ's own habit of prayer is from the beginning of his public work. He had on the previous day produced an extraordinary impression in Cap- ernaum. In the morning, while preaching in the synagogue, he had healed a demoniae. Immediately there“ after he had raised Peter's mother-fn-l law. In the afterncon and evening crowds of sick lined the streets, andl Jesus had gone on healing till 2.5 into the night. Next morning, when the crowds began again, he was It) where to be found. No one knew why) or where he had gone. At last Peter‘ found him in the desert Praying. He, had Cone out there to ind strength for the tasks of the new day.

The second instance is from ,the cloning hours of Jerus’ life, when the Saviour is wrestling in Gethsemane swat the last assaults of Satan. He wished his disciples to be with him on that dread occasion, and so in a. sense they were. But in the end Jesus had to fight the battle alone. Saying to the diseiples, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death," he goes deeper into the shadow spaces of the garden, and there falls on his face and prays. So he wins the last victory, and rises triumphant and serene. None of his followers will ever know the depths and heights of Jesus' life of prayer. Whether in the wilderness er in the garden, he goes further than we can follow. But from his example we see where alone, both in life and in death. strength can be found and reliance placed. li, THE mscrrms TAUGHT TO PRAY, l V. 12. We cannot go on our knees without the fact of our sins rising before our minds, and therefore con- fession and the plea for forgiveness, lwill form part of our prayers. Andi Gs we cannot expect God's forgiveness if we are ourselves unforgiving, we must prepare for prayer by freely gardening those who may have offend- l V. 9. True prayer, as Christ taught it, originates in f1iia1 tilgT2dttrf, of the Fatherhood of God. As is in heaven, prayer must be reverent, inspired by the spirit of awe. As he is our Father, prayer must be simple and trustful. Our first and supreme desire should be that God's name be kept holy. "I: has revealed to us his cnaracter, and we must pray never to dishonor it by word or deed. V. 10. God's supreme purpose in the world is to reign in human hearts and in human smicty. Therefore. we must pray for the coming of his reign, and for all events and processes in the world to be so overruled that the will of God may operate here, even as it does in the higher world. Vr. ll. But Jesus, while teaching men to seek first the kingdom of God, teaches also that the simple necessities of life are to be expected from the Father's hand. He refused to turn stones into bread, for he asks us to expect our daily bread in the appoint- ed way of labor. Nevertheless, he re- minds us that for life and strength to Jsbor we depend on God, without whose blessing nothing can succeed. V. 13. Finally, we must ask to be kept from temptation, and to 'be led away from evil. For snares baset our path, and only God's hand. can save Thus, when we ourselves know not what to pray for as we ought, we have the Lord’s Prayer to direct us. and to keep us face to face with the great realities. _ US than a week I saw the boys driving up and down the road in a fairly good- looking ftivver. They had torn the good engine out of the car which had no body and placed it in the other one, after removing a worn-out engine from it. Then they made use of what they had lemed in high school. The radiator was soldered up, the body was given a coat of paint, new fenders were attached, and the boys were ready to tlivver " to the fair. x How to handle and take care of farm machinery is another very im-l portant subject for farm boys to think: about. From the farm lighting-plant and the automobile motor, down to' the one-horse eultivator--eirery piece of equipment needs attention and re- pair. Before snow falls, make it a point to see that every tool on your farm is in the machine-shed and under cover. Check over every implement, and during the winter months spend your spare time in the tool-shed or at the forge, repairing the equipment on your farm. You will learn by doing so and have no trouble qualifying as K good mechanic by the time you grgyv up. .. . _ '"iiju éan't become a good farmer un- less you ave practical.

Eastern Ontario continues to fihd good homes for immigrant boys, who are reported to be turning out ex- ceptionally well, and the Armenian orphans at the Georgetown farm are receiving considerable help. i In another case an Englishman, working on a farm for two years, sent for his wife and family, who arrived with nothing but their clothing.

For obvious reasons, much of the best and kindest things being done cannot be reported in full, but this from 11aldimand County gives some idea of what "just neighboring" as they call it, means. When a new- comer had a baby, the doctor said ta the Institute, "That woman is very ill. If the Institute does not get a nurse for her she will die."
