_gradually declining during the past
number of years. In 1000 the exports
ol. 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

succeed with botbeds tho' manure
must be of such a character as to
supply heat over an extended period.
if the manure is not right when placed
in the pit it soon cools. and frost
enters the structure. ruining -the
plants. 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. If the manure contains more
droppings than bedding. add a little
straw; ‘leaves or other litter to make
it less dense, and if it contains too
much litter remove part of lt. The
best manure is that which is half

At the present time packers are tak-

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-

have started a more general adoption
of dipping. During these two seasons
approximately 13,500'sl1eep were dip-

ing the benefit of the work. Another
point of improvement is the Sheep

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. The Donilnion De
partnient of Agriculture has issued a
circular on "Potash iu Agriculture"
which can.-bc had on application to
the Division of I’ubllcation,_l)cpnrt-
ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. -

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

pruning must be more severe than

_Cut the branches about one quarter
of an inch above a bud that points

Hybrid tc-.ns and tea roses hood not

their buds, and then twice as much

ing. I<irst out out dead and old

Many of the expressions daily heard.

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

the sign said, “Shine insitlc!"'.' That
is the trouble with many ot' us. Good-

are aifable in business because it pays.
we are courtesy itself to our friends
because we wish to be, well thought

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

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

'. step; will you take it?" The very
.ituplicity of the plan of salvation is
4. temptation to delay. Several yeqrs

RUTH CHOOVSES THE TRUE GOD.
.i-
Ruth i. 6-S. _
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
night not be happy in their new sur-
roundings. Naomi could not assure
them that they would receive just and

was the wiser of the two. She had
made her choice according to the dic-
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

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. ` '
Verses 16-18. Rllth's answer ta
Naomi’s final exhortation to return to
Moab is and will always remain an
uiidylng expression of the two strong-
est feelings -that can possess the
human heart-love and religion. It
shows thoughtfulness, fervor ,and
strength. If Orpah followed reason
Ruth no less thought of all that was
involved in herdeclsion. She khew
that it meant u complete change of
life and conduct. She would move

would rest and reside where Naomi
rested and resided. “ Where thou
lodgest I will lodge." She would
accept Naomi’s religion as hers, " and
people shall be .my people.” She
would accept Naomi’s religion as hers,
" and thy God my God." And this was
probably the determining factor in the
choice: and finally in the great and
critical moment of death she would be
identified with her mother-in-law.
