Canadian bacon had reached the proportion of 136,141,424 lbs. but gradually declined to 39,210,377 lbs. in 1913. This falling oft ln exports does not indicate a decline ln hogrsfeing. In 1891' Canada had 1,733,850 hogs and 1911 showed an increase to 3.610.428. The decline can be attributed to tlic _ increased home consumption. Until the last two or three years, Western Canada was demanding a large supply to feed its growing population. The continued high prices for pork in-

Early made frames require the best prepared manure, as these must have a supply of heat over the longest period and during the coldest weather.

Fresh horse manure is the only kind

suitable for the liotbeds. This should come from horses that have been highly fed and well bedded. A sufilcl- ent quantity to flll the pit should be prepared at one time, so that no walt- ing will occur to prepare more manure for the frame being made. Whep the manure arrives it should be thrown on a pile and lie loosely for a few days.

At the present time packers are tak- ing all the suitable hogs that :irc ol- fered and are not in a hurry to dis- pose of the cured meats. They calcul- ate that before many months tlicrt- wili be higher prices ond better pro- fit. Our Island conditions are especi- ally adapted for the raising of bacon and now we have an opportunity to increase our production, with the :is- surance of regular high prices for seasons to come.

The Sheep inalustigv has been tie-

mandlng the attention of Live Stock breeders throughoua_Canada for some years past. A notable decline was in evidence prior to 1906. The Mari- time Provinces had 150,000 less' sheep kept on the farms as a result of this ln this Province we had l|3t`»,4:7'3 sheep’ in 1881 and 71,470 in 1906. Since thc last date the prices of lambs, and mul- ton have been steadily increasing with the result that a. marked increase.

hen heating is well under way turn is pile over and stack it up ln zi long, arrow heap about five feet high. As heating progresses turn the manure to prevent burning, and at each turning place the outside manure toward the centre of the new heap. When too violent heating takes place and the frame is not ready for the manure, more frequent turning and the addition of some litter are neces- sary. The manure is ready for the frames when it is n fermentfng mass throughout and has become dark. fluffy and moderately moist. The ordinary manure for liotbeds requires two or three weeks for its preparation and from three to five turnings to cause it to reach its best condition. If the heating has progressed too far, the manure soon cools when placed in the frame, and little heat is generated by it.

The dipping demonstrations con-

ducted by the Department of Agricul- ture during the season of 1913 and 1914 have started a more general adoption of dipping. During these two seasons approximately 13,500'sl1eep were dip- ped and the affect has been credit- ably commented on by those receiv- ing the benefit of the work. Another point of improvement is the Sheep Breeders Association which was ln-

.hoose those that will give the great- est returns, even though a revision must bc made in the entire scheme of planting. ,

FERTILIZER DISCUSSED.

At the Agricultural Conference held

in Marshfield some time ago, the ques- tion of fertilizers came up, and, it was oiiitcd out tliut potash was likely to

corporated fn 1914. -By this Associa- tion each breeder of sheep has the op- _ portunity of insuring his sheep u- galnst killing by dogs. The initial cost is 1 cent _ .for each grade sheep and 3 cents per head for each pure v bred sheep owned by the breeders on July lst of each year. The insur- ance is payable each year. In case of sheep being killed by dogs the owner notifies the Department of Agricul-~ ture and after the killing has been ln- " spected he receives 75 per cont of the value of the sheep. The maximum compensation for the grade sheep is $6 and $15 for a pure bred sheep. Fifty per cent is paid by the Department of Agriculture and the other 25 perl cent is paid from the funds of the As- sociation. A large number of breeders have made use of this means of in- suring their sheep against the dog. Killing by dogs was held as one ol' the reasons for the heavy decline in

past years.

The future of sheep breeding is|

reliable. Prices have reached a very high figure during the past season and tmdoubtedly they will hoid a higher place in the future owing to the pre- valent demand for all live stock pro- ducts.

Now Gentlemen I have given you a

few facts regarding the present states of the Live Stock trade and pointed out that the future prospects are brighter than they ever have been for agrat many years. I have shown you that Canadian trade can justify full

production of all ber farms, and that*

the British Empire is depending on us to supply a larger proportion of our- production than ever before. And, for such we can depend on increased prices. The largest part that Canada will play in this war is one of supply- ing produce for the iirmy which is a very important part and will show tho loyalty of the colony to the Britlsli Empire fully ns well ns in supplying ornaments.

With the aid of every loyal citizen

it will only be a matter of time until this masterpiece of human folly is

'brought to a close. and while wr- feel

that we are suffering from a suicide of civilization and a sstirc upon Chris- tianity we also feel that thc powers battling _for_ right and justice will bc victorious.

D be very dcnr this year, and, conse- quently farmers could not increase their crops to any considerable ex- tent through tlic use of Comnicrcial fertilizers, as the potash that has been marketed has been almost all produc- ed in Germany. There are, however, some sources of potash available to the farmers which are now being over- looked, or are not being cared for as they should bc. The first and most important source is farmyard nianuros. Practically all thc potash fed in the foods consumed by farm stock is ex- ecrcted is also present in the urine, and when one realizes that one halt' of the total nitro- gen excreted is also present in the urine, he can realize how very valu- 'ible liquid manure is. As a fertilizer weight for weight, urine has ti greater mnuurial valuo than solid excreiuent. and, further, it is more valuable for the crops, on account of the constit- uents being in a soluble condition. To allow the liquid manure to be wasted, as is done on many farms, is to throw away one of the most valuable man ui-es, but, the difficulty is, How is it to bc saved? Last year there was an abundant growth of straw and, if this were used plontifully for bedding, a great amount. of it would be nbsorb- ed. Where possible. however, it is best to allow the animals to run loose in box stalls. then, if plenty of bedding is supplied, all the liquid will be ab- sorbed. The gettlng of it onto the land is another question, and would -take* a full evening to discuss. Wood ashes is another important source of

potfslh and very many farmers waste the rfiaslies. \Ve must bear in mind that ,the potash salts are readily sol- uble,_and, if they are exposed to heavy rains, n great deal oi’ their fertility will be lost. Farmers should this year plan to keep their ashes under cover, und to spread them at the rate of 25 bushels an acre on the land in the Spring, and barrow in sos weed, where it can be had, is another source of potash. and. as many of our farms lie on the sea coast ,farmers should plan to make use of this fertilizer wherever possible.

prune his shrubs too much and at the wrong time. or else neglect to prune

mens that do not bear nearly so many flowers as they are capable of produc- ing. All the shrubs can be divided in- to two general classes: First. those that flower in the sping, on wood pro- duced lsst year, and, second, summer and fall blooming shrubs whose flow- ers are borne on the current season's growth.

To the first ciiiss belong the larger

number of shrubs usually grown in the garden. Some of them are for- sythia, Japanese quence, the' Spring- flowering splrens. such as Spiraen Thunhergli, and S. Van Ilouttei, weig- ela. syringe and lilac.

To the second class belong such

plants as roses. the hardy-hydrangeas and the Summer flowering spiroa (Caryopteris niastacanthal. They should be pruned late in the winter 'or in early Spring before growth takes place, as pruning at that time will glvo it greater ylcldrof flowers in the Sum- mer aud Fall. in the northern States -lu the vicinity of Boston, for in- stance-the blue spirea kills back a little each winter so that pruning sim- ply consists in cutting oft’ the dead tips.

After the blooming season is past

the time to prune the spring flowering shrubs, l. e., those of the first class, and the pruning should consist large- ly of removing the flowering wood which bore flowers this year. Do not cut the branches back very far except very old branches that bore but few flowers. Of this class of branches. the fewer the plant has the better; so cut out 'thc old branches as near tho ground ns possible.

Do not attempt to prune specimen

shrub son the lawn into set shapes, and do not think that pruning con- sists in lopplng off all the branches at a given point, sothnt the shrub is flat-topped; such specimens are hideous! Unfortunately, however, they are too plentiful. Try to retain all the natural gracefulness of the plant, and if the branches on one side are mak- ing a little less growth than those on the other, or if some branches ure not quite so long as others, do not cut them back so much as the stronger growing branches. This will help to make a more uniform plant.

Some of the Spring flowering

shrubs that produce long. willowy branches, such as Forsytbia suspense, will need very little pruning; but, in any case. at least some cutting back should be done, for it will increase the number of branches that will bear flower-buds, which will result iu more flowers next year. _ Roses in the average yard ure too often left to shift for theinselves. As a result the plants grow long, be- comes full of dead wood and produce smaller and fewer flowers each year.

The following rules should be ob-

served:-

Strong-growing varieties must not

be cut back so severely as the weak- growing ones. for it will tend to make litem Produce too much wood and not enough flowers. ‘

Cut out all the dead and weak shoots

first; than tlio strong shoots should be out back to thc desired length.

To produce tho biggest flowers, the

pruning must be more severe than

the vestments of the common and or- dlnar_v.

Many of the expressions daily heard.

remind us strikingly of spiritual truth and many a homely lesson is enforced by some of the commonest objects of life. The truth l am about to express may not be a large one and yet it may have it large value. The size of the scene dces not depend upon the size of the wlmlow through which we look; we can usually see more through the larger wndows on the first floor. Have you not often passed ii shop and seen the sign advertising the fact that within a bootblack had his stand, and the sign said, “Shine insitlc!"'.' That is the trouble with many ot' us. Good- ness and brightness are ii veneer. We are aifable in business because it pays. we are courtesy itself to our friends because we wish to be, well thought cf, while in the home we are disagree- able because thatis what we are at. heart. How often one cleans vigorous- ly the outside of the window when the spots are on the inside. lt' our hearts are aglow with good-nature and love, we shall be the same everywhere and all the time, at the shop and at home, the year round. A Christian will of necessity be ti gentleman or lady.

There is just One whose life is

worthy cf imitation in every detail and that One is the founder of ou: faith. Other great men tlierc are but they are only poor copies of the Mas- terpiece of Humanity. Nor is it'at al= remarkable that there should be imitu tion Christians; that mau_v should seel' nicrnbersliip in the Church as A cloak to hide their wickedness. They . pay high tribute to the Cliristiau Church.

again, until you find that your eye is becoming trained to the various sizes or "grades," then get away from the sizes of thc heaps and make fresh heaps with the aid ot' your eye only, and again test, your accuracy. Re- member alwoys that you cannot write or read until you know your alphabet; neitlior can you lcnrn to guage the size of each fruit \vitli the eye -this is the base' of the whole structure. Do not try to hurry at the start; learn Eb crawl first before attempting to run, taking plenty of time; speed will come with practice after you have thoroughly learnt. the lesson of size.

Packing must be learned in cxnctly_

thc same way; but leave packing well alone until you can grade accurately: it is impossible to pack or even to learn packing with improperly graded fruit. Practice over and over again, placing tho apples accuartely in posi- tion and endcuvoring to bring thc height of the fruit in the full case just ti shade higher than the box; never mind speed or ii few failures-the at.- tainment of the former and the clini- inution of the latter can only como with practice. Learn the first essen- tial of packing, viz., accuracy. before attempting to hurry. Iteuiember, nn even grade and n good pack will do more to cstiiblisli export trade than all the talking imaginable, and noth- ing will bar the progressso effectually as ii dlslioucst or slovenly pack.

START WITH PURE BRED STOCK.

A question which qfteus Comes be-

fore the poultry keeper is whether he should use pure breds or crosses. There is always s great deal to be said for both sides of the question, and it is u, subject that has always glvcu rise to a great amount of argument. Tho answer depends, of course. on the goal the poultry keeper has set. before hlin, yet -i'or all fanclers and brectlers it has a deep interest.

At the outset the question cannot hr-.

answeretl right away, for liotli pure and cross breeds possess advantages peculiar to themselves. In some cases thc breeders will find it. best to go in for thc pure stock, while in others lu- will tlud that the cross lirecds-lies! ouswer his purpose. He must not forget. that circumstances alteycascs, rind, therefore, should not expect the same results from both classes of birds. The breeder must under- stand tlial when a cross breed is men- tioned we do not mean a mougrel. Often the two are confounded. A mongreiis not a crossbreed. and cau- not be called so by any process of reasoning. in frict, a mongrei is a bird that has the blood of many breeds lu its veins but witboiit any particular object being aimed in the selection of tho parents. The parent birds have been allowed to mate in s haphazard manner, and the mongrel is the result. it ls no good ,for any breeder who wishes to make his poultry psy. and the advice to the beginner usually , takes thin form. (lo iff for pure stock and pure stock only.

This last week in glancing through

a magazine, I noted a full-page adver- tisement of a typewriter. In tlic corn- cr' was a coupon that was intended to be mailed, and beside it, tlis note: “Write us-not tomorrow, but now- before you turn over this page or lay this book down." Frequently you see the less striking suggestion in connec- tion with such an advertisement, “Do it now," and an effort made to _'sake he doing as easy as pcsslblo. On a -rowded trolley car there was n young nan carrying a Bible, returning from his Sunday school class. One of a -rowd of young rcwdies called out to him. "Sayl young man, how fur is it 0 heaven?" and the answer was “Only '. step; will you take it?" The very .ituplicity of the plan of salvation is 4. temptation to delay. Several yeqrs itgo I met a man cf this community, -vlio had not lived s. Christian life,and I urged him to it decision for (,‘l\rist,_ but lic preferred to wait. I hoard noth-. Lug of him for years, but the other day _ :i call on the 'phone and a voice said: 1 “This is so and so, the undertaker; do you know Mrrl- of such iin ntl- dress?" i rcpliell in the afllrmativo,si\d he said, “Will you conduct his funeral services ut such it time?" and I said l would. Before the hour 1. called at the hcinc,and the widow told me of thc impression thc words of years before had made and of howi he had said he knew he ought to do’ ~liffcrcntly; how he purposed atteud~1 ing church. They were resoluticns,but, they were never carried out, and sol

"-.vere liltc checks 'llizit have never been ‘

RUTH CHOOVSES THE TRUE GOD.

Golden Text: “ Thy pooplc shall be

my people and thy God my God."- Rutli l. 10. '

Introductory.-The Book of Ruth

reads like an appendix to that of Judges. But a. comparison of its con- tents brlngs into view a sharp con- trast between the type of life pictures hi it on the one side and in Judges on the other. If we had nothing but the story given ln Judges, especially in chapters 18-22 we should be led to imagine that the times were corrupt indeed. All the incidents recorded here reflect a wild, lawless, coarsely iuimoral and brutally cruel state of mind among the Israelites. The Book of Ruth turns the light on another side of the picture. A sense of relief and refreshnient comes over the Christian reader as he passes from the last chapters of the longer to the four chapters of the brlefer book. The picture is that of idyllic peace and order. There is a dark background to thc picture, to be sure; but it is made up of the gloom of misfortune rather than sin. In the main, goodwill, in- dustry aud thrift shine through the details and leave a happy impression of community life. There can be no doubt at all that good and bad were mixed in the Israelitisli society of the period of Judges. A niomentjs reflec- tion, moreover, will lead to the conclu- sion that the good features were more numerous and uorinal than the evil ones. The analogy of present day records of events as given lu the news- papers may be appealed to. These records would prove that the evil deeds of men attract more attention and get tl larger place in the columns of the daily jnurnsls than the quiet. and 'happy incidents. Life would be uubesiablc if the crimes und horrors reported in the press represented their proportionate set-tion of the whole of it. The story of Ruth is truer to the actuality of the main stream than that of Judges.

Verses 6, 7. The lessens story

begins with the return of Nuoml from her exile in Moab after the ond of the fnniiiie that had drivcn her there. All that precedes is an introductory ex- planation of the fact that it Monbitcss drifted into Israel and was caught up unto the family from which thc royal dynasty of 'David sprung. Moab had been hard on Naomi persoimlly. She had entered the country as the happy wife of a good muu and mother of two promising sons. She was leaving it sud hearted. bu; courageous and full of trust in the God of her race, it lonely \vldow. But she had evidently won the respect und love of two daughters of the land, the wives of her departed sous. Tlit-.sc having slini'r\d her life and fortunes thus fur. felt loatli to lot ber gn iilone. They both made thc beginning of the journey wltli her.

Verses 8,9. But they had not gone

very far before Naomi realised how large and serious the venture was for the younger women. For herself it was the natural thing to return to her own land and find a place among the old associations sud kindred. But for tbein it meant not merely a hard jour- ney full of perils in a rough country. nut a complete break with their whole

pust. Perhaps they did not fully realise the risks they were running of not fitting into the life of Israel. They

tates of reason. She loved Naomi, ut sho must prudently plan for the future. But the event prqved that Ruth had made the better choice. She had been guided byfaith. Whether she could-have given an account of the reason for her choice- or not, she had stood by her mother-in-law be. cause of her character, and that char. actor was determined by Naomi’s faith in Jebovali. Hence Ruth's name has passed into the list of the lmmortals in faith. ` '
