The results of 6 eX-, _ periments at the College, "were . conducted in duplicdte each season, show an average increase in eld of grain per acre of 6.8 bushels from large as compared with small seed, ~~ of 7.8 bushels from plump as com- © pared with shrunken seed, and of 35.6 "bushels from sound as compared with = broken seed. Seed which was allowed to become thoroughly ripened before it was cut produced a greater yield of "both grain and'stréw anda heavier " weight of grain per measured bushel than that produced from wheat which © was cut at any one"of four earilex 'n " of maturity.

While - grass and water alone are not entirely sufficient for the growing pigs, many "feel that a good clover pasture will go "along way in supplying their feed re- quirements and consequently reduce the amount of concentrates or grain | required. In order to obtain some information, on this problem an experiment wus conducted on the Experimental Sta- tion at Kapuskasing, Ont, jn 1922. "While testing out the effect of pasture t was thought advisable to include in + the test a comparison of self-feedi and pail-feeding. = Thirty purebred bi br Yorkshire pigs, twelve weeks old and; * very uniform, were selected on Aug- ust 1st and divided into three groups 'of ten each. d this fa!' : Dawson's through a plenty of clover pasture and is short] © Lot No. 1 wes housed th dlesn dey They which. field peas were used as a green Anure Vielded 65 bushels of wheat per acre more than that grown on land on which buckwheat was used as a manure. - 5 n time for seeding this autumn, yaluable material will be sent.out from the College to those farmers residing ih Ontario who wish, to Sondyét ex- periments upon r own farms the medium of the Experi- mental Union. The material will be supplied, free of charge, to those 'who wish to conduct the experiments and report the results in the early autumn of 1924. Any Ontario farmer may apply for the material for any one of the following seven experiments: (1) Three choice varieties of winter wheat; (2) One variety of winter rye and one of winter wheat; (3) Spring applications of five fertilizers with winter wheat; (4) Autumn and spring applications of nitrate of soda and common 'salt with winter 'wheat; (5) Winter'emmer and winter barley; (6) Hairy vetches and winter rye-as fod- der crops; (7) Mixtures of winter rye and hairy vetches for seed production. The size of each plot'is to be one rod wide by two rods long. Fertilizers will be sent by express for experiment No. 4 this autumn, and for experiment No. 8 next spring. All seed will be sent by mail except that for No. 4, which will accompany the fertiligers. The material will be 'sent out in the order in which the applications are received and as Jong as the supply lasts. The 0.A.C.

The cost of producing one hundred Ibs. df labor included, was $22.90 for Lot 1, $11:88 for Lot 2, and $1045 for Lot 8. From these results it may be con- cluded that, where a farmer has of labor, he will be well advised to turn his shoats out and supply them by means of the self-feeder. tater A ee ema, : POULTRY 'After selling eggs by parcel pest for two years I have found out two important facts about this method of marketing eggs. First, the folks to whom we: ship in the big city, about 250-miles distant, are rather seasonal in their desire for eggs. They want, our fresh country eggs espeeiafly from October to some time after Eas- ter, perhaps because most of the eggs then to be obtained in the stores or markets are stale or cold-storage eggs. In summer they find fresh'eggs plenti- fol in "the eity; besides, they do not eat as many "eggs during the hot onths.

In looking back over' the year's work at Vernon, Ong., we have a feel- ing of gratitude that we have not stood still, but that some real work has been done for the good of the community. Nine meetings were held during the year, at which papers and readings were given by members. A demonstration on Table Setting and Serving for a formal] dinner, by a 'member, an address on Beautification of Home Surroundings by one of the 'pastors, and papers on Thanksgiving, Kitchen Short Cuts, What Other In- stitutes are doing in Canada, and Rur- al Horticulture, indicate the range of our interests. During winter months meetings were held in the homes, with an added attendance and deeper in- terest. With the usual socials and concerts we raised $447.69 during the year and paid $140 on our piano; $26 was used in buying clothing for wo- men and children of fire sufferers in Northern Ontario, and in October four large boxes consisting 6f bedding, quilts and pillows, nightgowns and second hand clothing for men, women | providing plants. The teachers, who e school verandah, and the teacher, th the help of the school children, flower beds, the W. I. members are also 'of the Horticultural Society, gave their flowers to be used in boxes. - As we have the Hall free for all our meetings we felt wé would like to do something to make it more homelike and donated $10 toward shades, There is an old saying: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," so we combined the two, and in Oc- tober had a Hallowe'en Social, giving prizes for best costumes; had games and served refreshments. In March we had an Irish concert. Some thought this a little out of line in a Scotch 'community, but it's wonderful what they can accomplish with practice. As Institute workers, we are striv- ing to do better, to improve on our mistakes, and to put before the world an example of which none of us need be ashamed. May we in the words of Edgar Guest's beautiful poem: "To each day bring our very best. A lifetime is but a day; To-morrow we may be called West, Now is the time to say The helping word to a toiling friend. Now is the time to give The helping hand ere the sun deseend, To-morrow we may not live." And with Longfellow: "Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait." Hold a School - In many communities the school fair young and old together, with the re- sult that a better understanding is established between the 'present and future generation of the community. It is gradually coming to be that there is no stronger incentive to keep young men and women on the farm than personal interest and ac- tivity in som® practical phase of farm work. Amd the special interest that always appeals with the paramount foree is the show and prize list. To 'organize an exhibition of boys' and girls' work and make it a success is almost, if not quite, as great a task as to get up a show for the adults. One reason for this is that the boys and girls should have as much as pos- gible to do with the arrangements; and they must, in most cases, be di- rected, to a large extent, in the things to be done 'and the methods of doing. If it is a school fair the teacher will wisely refrain from too much dicta- tion or bossing, laying the business be- fore the pupils with the best sugges- tions, but leaving the deciding and the performance as much as possible with the classes or ¢smmittees in charge of the various departments. The follow- ing suggestions may be of great value to these wishing to put on 'some such laffair. : First, select a boy to conduct the program on the day of the show; sec- ond, a boy to construct or secure the tables and decorate the rooms; third, a boy to see that the products are en- tered in the proper classes as they are brought in; fourth, a boy to act as clerk for the judge on the day of the show; fifth, a boy to place ribbons on the products and distribute the prizes. "While each of these boys may help 'the others, each has a particular job, for which he is responsible. These boys are chosen by classmates, They may have assistants, if needed. After having elected officers for the show, the next problem is one of ad- vertising. This can-be done in several - Here are suggestions that might be premium list, to bescireulated, a letter by-the teacher or by one pils to the leading farmers of yuncements at BY E. G. WILLIAMS. has become one of the most interesting social events of the year, bringing realized} of money or merchandise from local Fair This Year agricultural departments put on a play, the proceeds to be used for the expense of the exhibit and the pay- ment of premiums. In other cases some local organization may contri- bute. The more common plan has been to depend on individual contributions merchants or others interested. In such cases, the contributor should be given publicity in exchange for the gift. The exhibits shown may be sold at auction after the show and the money dsed to pay expenses. = Sometimes, however, - this is not satisfactory, as the owners of good exhibits often wish to keep them. This can be arranged Expensive premiums should not be encouraged. It has been found much more satisfactory to offer several small premiums than a few large ones: Some schools have found it advisable to give, in addition to other premiums, printed ribbons, denoting first, second, third and fourth classes. "It has been found advantageous to have gome form of entertainment or speaking in connection with the show. In ope instance, a room was provided for the exhibition of relics and curios. This proved an attractive part of the show. A corn-judging contest should be held by the boys taking agricultural work, or possibly, a stock-judging con- test. Demonstrations in knot-tying, halter-making and rope-splicing by vocational boys are always of interest. 'Care should be exercised in secur- ing a competent judge. Sometimes the agricultural representative is avail- able and does satisfactory work; in other cases the extension department may be able to furnish a good man. In every instance the judge should be a man in whom the people have confidence. Future shows may be discouraged through neglect of this point. It is well to make use of the experience of the past, but the fair needs to be kept up-to- date. a .

Even as they delivered; the written narrative found its sole source in the story of Christ as it came from the apostles. Eyewitnesses, and ministers. The reason why the apostles should be the sole authorities! was twofold. First, they were intimate friends and eyewitnesses, Second, after the ascension of Christ, they| were his spirit-filled and spirit-guided stewards and representatives. Vs. 8, 4. It seemed good to me also. The writer, therefore, is not doing a resumptuous thing, but only follow- ng a practice already established. Having had perfect understanding of | all things; "inasmuch as I have Jone carefully over them all myself from the beginning." Luke has made a per-| sonal, a detailed, a complete study of Christ's life. A reference to Luke's: Gospel will show how this Gentile] writer has given us mueh not found in the other Gospels, such as the stor- ies of the birth and infancy of Jesus. Most excellent Theophilus. All we know of Theophilus is that he is a Christian and also a man of high rank, as is indicated by the title of address, "most excellent." II. LUKE, THE WRITER OF THE ACTS, Acts 1:1; 16: 9-16. Acts 1: 1. The former treatise; the Gospel of Luke. The object of this second treatise is not to tell the whole story of the acts of the apostles, but rather to show how the gospel of Jesus was brought to the Gentile world in accordance with the whole spirit of Christ's ministry and teaching. Vs. 9, 10. There stood a man of Macedonia. After Paul had been pre- vented from preaching the gospel in Asia and Bithynia, a new and greater opens before him. It is at this point that Luke seems to have become the anion of Paul, v. 12. 'We endeav- ored, Luke stayed behind in Philippi. Five years later Paul and Luke meet again, almost certainly in Philippi, Acts 20: 8-6. Some think, therefore, that Luke was a native of Philippi, and that Paul's vision of the man of Macedonia was preceded by a visit from Luke, who urged Paul to come to Philippi. Vs. 11.18.

Doctors do more work without fee or reward than any other, unless we except the Chris- tian ministry. y The Medical Missionary. Dr. J. D. Jones says that Luke is "the first Christian medical missionary." It is easy to believe that this is very liter-| ally true; that Luke, traveling with Paul, both preached and used his skill in healing people of their sicknesses, About twelve years ago an honored medical missionary, who has since died, wrote: "The long-drawn, never- ending cry of physical suffering, and of the hopeless misery of spiritual darkness, rising from the millions of stricken men, helpless women, and perishing children of China, is begin-| ning to reach the ear of the Christian! Church; while at the same time the] wise and loving example of the Christ- | man in preaching, teaching and heal-! ing, points the way to quickest and surest relief." "Too, long," he sail, "have the churches and missionary societies ignored or neglected the powerful 'medical arm' of Christian missions." The Doctor as a Literary Man. There is a remarkable work by Dr. Hobart, on "The Medical Language of | St. Luke," in which the author makes | a minute comparison of words used in the third Gospel and Acts, with words employed by Galen, Hippocrates, and other medical writers of antiquity;! the result is that many of Luke's fav- orite words, and many of the words used exclusively by him among New Testament writers, are found to be characteristic of these writers. He writes like a doctor. Three medical men of our own time have made notable contributions to lit- erature, all of them with a distine- tively Christian message. Sir William Osler, a Canadian, of Toronto Univer- sity, and finally as professor of medi- cine at Oxford; Dr. R. C. Cabot, with his commendation of work, play, love, and worship as the things by which men live; and that intrepid Labrador doctor, missionary, and author, Dr. Wilfred T.

Upon proper curing depends to a great extent the keeping qualities of onions, and it is safe to state that un- less there is uniformity in the matur- ity of the erop all the bulbs cannot be properly cured to keep for any length of time, When the onion tops begin to lop over and wither, this is a sign that the bulbs have reached the extent ot their development. However, all the ° plants may not, as is often the case, ripen off themselves, but an occasional one stand erect in the patch, Where plants show this eharacter it is neces- sary to bend the tops down so as to hasten the ripening process, There are several common causes to. which unevenness may be attributed; land that has been recently broken up from sod, very moist soil, and where green manure has been used in large quan- tities. The tops of the plants being from half to two-thirds withered, the bulbs should be pulled and left on the ground to plete withering, or if weather conditions are unfavorable it PAUL, COL. 4: 14; 2 TIM. 4: 11.
