Growing root crops .< a winter feed iit a good idea which is not being used. Roots were extensively and en- tirely used as a source of winter suc- culence before the silo was generally known. quicker growth they are less likely to be damaged by insects when small; (5) they are the most hardy of the root crops; ((') they are the best kee|ers, especially as compared with the flat turnip, which is likely to grow hollow and rot in storage.

When feeding ruta- bagas in considerable quantity to dairy rows, it is important that the feeding should he done after milking) of homes, in a time, an the aroma from the roots may taint the milk." There are several very important THE SUNDAY SCHOOL "I don't want to get up. I'm going to stay abed this morning. I'm sick," came the grumpy call from the boy of the house. Neither opposition nor argument was offered by the wise mother. She ignored the remark and merely spoke over the banister to her husband be- low. "Did you say, Daddy, that those of the children who were ready on time could ride out to see the circus unload?" Two bare feet slapped to the floor and a smiling boy in good health made a prompt, appearance at breakfast. In another case "I hate to sell tickets," was the irritable reply to the mother's request. "These are stamps, John, not tick- ets. Every one you sell gives food for a day to a starving little Chinese boy." Visions of a black-queue;! laundry man who had given John a nut arose in the boy's mind. "So it's saving Chinks," was the boy's wording of his motive, and with zest he sold eight dollars' worth of the three-cent stamps. The mother who can supply motives in place of arguments finds a harmony in her home that generates peace, which in its turn is a strong factor in promoting good health. Constant friction reacts upon the physical con- dition of the members of the family. Many pleasures nr.d joys are due the children, yet it is only right that they should share in a simple way the burdens and responsibilities that go to make for comfort in the homa. Where a mature mind can vision the needs and outcome of the work re- quired, a child can see only the irk- some task to be accomplished and often must be provided with a motive. At cne time when a new garden plot was plowed many stones were turned up. The father of the family left word in the morning for the chil- dren to toss out the stones after j school that day. It was easy work for j a while, but. soon the interest lagged. I Suddenly the oldest boy had a happy I thought. "Let's get all the stones we i can find and build a gate-post. Father will fix the cement and help us when he gets home." The garden plot was searched for every stone and a won- derfully fine piece of work was ac- complished there before the father re- turned. Many fine acts and homely accomp- lishments are recogni/ed with hon.>r for Boy Scouts and Girl Guides which provide motives within their vis'cn. However, the motive must be a right cne, and not of the kind one mother offered in holding up a twenty-five cent piece to calm her boy in his fit of temper. It svas an easy way to earn money and the temper fits be- came frequent. That bit of silver might have accomplished more if of- fered to the child of that tendency for every week or month when r.o temper was allowed to show itself. In that way the child would have learned self-control of life-long value. Neither rules nor laws can be fixed for the varied situations a mother fr.ces, but if she can be equipped with a point of view from which to woik it will often meet a wide stretch of needs. To -be able to offer a legiti- mate motive for action is one ;iep towards happy home harmony. MAY 29. Making the Neighborhood Christian. St. Luke 10: 25-37; Acts 2: 44-47. Golden Text Romans 13: 10.

B. Mark Your Pig*. In marking the pure-bred spring pigs use a punch making a long oval notch, as that kind is more satisfa' 1 - tory than a V-shaped one. Any acci- dental tear is apt to be mistaken for a V-shaped notch, while the oval is unmistakable. Tags are not generally satisfactory for marking pigs,' as they are difficult to read and are easily torn out. The system of notches is swift and certain. In marking younjr pigs the r.oivhes must be out of pro- portion to the size of the ear, for the pig's ear will grow, while the notches do not get larger. Thus when tha animal is full grown, notches that were plainly seen on the young pi? are barely visible. Blindness, in nearly 40 per cent. o< cases, occurs after the age of 45. [HIDES-WOOL-FURS!

"Go and dp thou likewise" is the Master's parting word to His questioner. The priest and the Levite were min- isters of the Jewish religion, but they did not know that their religion, as well as their law, demanded of them deeds of mercy and kindness. The *ory teaches unmistakably'that the first and chief duty of neighbor - liness is just kindness. The Samaritan made no attempt on a large scale to reform the social evils of his time, but he showed kindness to one who was in desperate need. The schemes of social reformers are right and good in their proper place, but too much must not be expected of them. Any set of so- cial conditions cnn be made Christian whero kindness and love prevail. It is of kind hearts and the humble min- istry of kindly folk, even more than by economic or social change, that the betterment of the world is coming. all races of men. It means a restless discontent with the present world, and a reaching out after something better a new life in a world that is to come. It declares that inextinguishable faith in the breasts of men that this life is not all, and that what H man is or I does in this life determines what he shall be in the life that lies beyond. What shall a man do, then, that he mav have eternal life?
