Rachel, his favorite wife, was placed at the very end of the company, in the position of least dan- ger, If Esau planned revenge he would naturally fall upon the hand- maids first, in which case the wives with their families might be able to effect an escape. II, RECONCILIATION, vs. 3-7, Jacob himself went forward at the kead of his company. When he 1aet Esau he showed homage such as was ordinarily shown only to a king. Seven times he fell to the ground before the brother whom he had wronged. In the Tel-el-Amara tablets, written by the pre-Israelite kings of Canaan to ihe Pharaoh of Egypt, about B.C. 1500, some of the Canaanite kings state in their letters, "Seven and seven times fall I down at the feet of the king, my lord." Jacob's action, then, was that of a vassal before his liege-lord; such deferential courtesy as to a royal per- ' son was intended to win back the soul {of Esau to him, In all this polite . air soon causes them to show 3ighs of Growing Seeds jae Periodically they are inspected Huge Industry "and a note made on the blotter of the Laban's daughters for his wives, rear- homage, however, Jacob was only ed a numer us family and acumulated knocking at an open door.

For that reason many varieties are im- ported from other countries. Cabbage From Denmark The Danes, because of their long ex- perience and the favorable climatic conditions in Denmark, produce the best cabbage and caulifiower seed in the world. The best sweet corn seed in the world is grown by Charles Clarke, at Wakeman, Ohio, In flowers, the best zinnias seed are raised by an Englishman just outside of Los Angeles. He has 140 acres de- voted to this and other flowers. The best sweet pea seed in the world are raised at Lompoc, Calif. After a crop of seed has been raised and cured, the seed find their way into the hands of distributors. The method in which they are tested in the distri- butors' plants is interesting. Some of the larger seed companies handle from 3,000 to 5,000 different kinds and grades. Before they can be put on the market they must be tested for germination quality and to deter- mine whether they are true to type. The seed are wrapped in blotters, aboat 50 to each blotter, and placed in e germinator where the warm, moist MUTT AND JEFF-- JEFF, WATCH ME, THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO SELL- THAT'S _SALESMALSHIP ! of each lot of se2d received. Another quantity of seed from the same lot is planted in pots. The plants which grow from these seed are observed for their "true to type" quali- ties. Frequently pollen from another type plant o? the same species finds its way to the seed growers lot. This pollen fertilizes his plants and the resulting seed from his crop will produce a flower or fruit with mixed character- istics of both plants. This is often ob- served in corn--the ears bear both white and yellow kernels, After the seed is tested for its pro- duction qualities, it is then weighed and packed for distribution. This pro- cess is almost entirely mechanical, A delicate scales that will' divide a pound into 2,500 parts is brought into use, The seedsman determines from the cost of the seeds just how many he should include in a package fo pay him, He divides a pound of seed by this scale into the required number of packages. Then another machine is brought in- to play. It hasa die which houds just enough seed to make up the weight determined on the scales. Seeds are fed inte a hopper above the machine and from then on filling, closing and sealing of the packages is 'automatic. The amount of seed in each package does not vary more than 10 per cent, above or below the set stand- ard previously determined. These machines can turn out 30,000 packages of seed in an 8-hour day, and large seed houses turn out from 150,000 to 240,000 a day during the rush season. . a Garden growing in three words: Plan, Plant, Plants. prompted him. So back to Canaan he came. Home-coming after years of absence is always a moving experi- ence. But the joy of Jacob's home- coming was clouded with fear of his brother, Esau, whom he had wronged. The life of a man who lies and cheats is always haunted with fearsc ne spec- tres. How could Jacob meet Esau? He Swift to become angry and swift to forgive, he was a man of strong im- pulse. His impulsive nature showed itself in the way in which he embraced Jacob and kissed him.

Work is being carried on in testing the relative nutritional value of various individual feeds and in the compounding of suitable meal mix- tures for pigs of varlous ages. Mix. tures are tried out, and if found suit- able, they are published in pamphlet form, and are widely distributed to Canadian farmers. Such distribution of valuable information raises the j standard of production, improves feed- ing practices and most important of all lowers the cost of pork production for the individual farmer, Another line of work on accessory feeds déserves some comment. Cod liver oil, pilchard oil, mineral feeds, ete, are being tried out in an experi- mental way, and their value deter- mined in swine feeding. These sup plements to ordinary feeding have only of late come into prominence as live- stock feeds, and especially so as swine feeds. Cod liver ofl is a known source of vitamins A and D, and the claims for pilchard oil are that it con- tains these constituents and is avail able at a very moderate price.
