Comment. BY William T. Ella.


and still enjoy the quieter~ pleasures OF
a settled, housekeeping life. To heed
Jesus command required OF Peter, An
drew. John and James that they aban-
don their old trade. their old life. their
old hopes, and their old possessions.
Doubtless there were not wanting hard
headed, practical n%cighbors to point
out to them the ruinous folly of I
rendering a lucrative business to be-
come followers and pupils of this itin-
Grant Teacher.
They had made their choice. and they
adhered to 1t. Nothing is a duty which
conflicts with the will of God. So they
unhesitatingly left all and followed
him." as soon as they had brought their
boats to land. We do not read that
they waited to get the profits of that
mighty draughts of fishes. Happy is the
person who. having made a life decis-
ion. can adhere to 1t with backward
looks.
THE GREATEST WORK IN THE
WORLD.
Jesus was a phrase maker; how hap
PLY turned are the words. Il will make
you fishers OF men," He promoted
these men to another department of the
old calling. Hepceforth they should
spend their days and nights in catching
men for larger life. True. they needed
schooling, but hat they would get in
the cOmpanionship of Jesus. He would
teach them the best ways to catch men
Ito catch them in the mass, as they
had caught their great draught of
fishes. or to catch them one by one
as often with hand lines they la
drawn up the struggling fish from the
blue depths of Galilec. There Is no Sc
cret of winning men that cannot be
learned in the school of Christ.
What Il promotion this was! Hence
forth these men. whose chief ambition
had been to make a living. would de-
vote themselves to p~ronagating and en-
Llarging life. Human service was their
mission. They went forth to spend and
to be spent for their fellow men. the
greatest work in all the world. Who
ever in the same service as they. and
from the same motive, freely pours put
his life for the help of his fellows. is in
the fellowship of the early disciples
and tneir divine Master.

Milk With Butter Fat.

AS dalrymen progress in their work and
keep careful records of the milk supplied
from he Individual cows in the herd they
realize that the profitable cow for them
is the one whose milk shows the greater
per cent. of butter fat and not the COW
who gives the greatest bulk OF rich milk.
While not advocating n one breed of
cows more than another, the fact remains
that>inya all tests along the lines indicated.
the larger 6reeds nave shown the best re-
suits in the matter of butter fat. Even
the famed Jersey has fallen behind the
large breeds in this respect, although the
milk is rich. If the case is as stated, n
it is borne out by many tests. it is plain
that the cue for the dairyman to follow is
along the line of large breeds and a close
examination into the merits and records
OF each of these large breeds before maxi
ing a selection. With the present compe-
tition one can hardly afford to make mis-
takes and 1t is more than possible that
some of the decline of profit on dairy
farms is due to lack of proper breeds
The question is one worthy of serious con-
sideration.

tages OF nearby markets and SO OH; each
che Is truthful and has the advantages

stay there and work out your salvation!
The northern farmer going south. the
eastern farmer going west and vice versa
must meet conditions new to him and con
d.tions which will be trying for a num-
Der of years until he gets the hang OF
them. so what does he gain by the change
unless he has left a barren farm Tor a

his present location. or If the location Is
a fairly good one and he is not doing wen,
it is a question of the man more than 1t
is of the locality. If you have half a
chance work out the problem where you
are: it will be solved easier and sooner
thar by seeking pastures new.
Variety in Fruit Growing.
The writer v,s struck by an incident
which occurred recently and which leads
to this article. In company with one OF
the best fruit growers of the country we
visited Il section famous for its apples.
On one or two farms on the outskirts of
what might be termed this apple belt
were orchards which were not at all at
tractive. My friend called my attention
to them and remarked that for years he
had tried to persuade the owners to give
up trying 20 raise apples n to devote
their soil to crops which would give bet
ter results. He claimed that the larger
part OF one farm was a natural soil for
celery and that the other farm should be
given over largely to small fruits and par
ticularly strawberries. Neither of the
owners could tie made to see hat they
could not duplicate the success of the peo-
pie near them IN apple growing. This Is
the case in many sections. One man Will
make a success in growing some particu-
lar crop by reason OF having soil particu-
larry suited to it. or because he under
stands how to grow that crop. AT once
every farmer within easy reach of him
will put in the same crop. some of them
giving up crops with which they had
made splendid success. Look over the
soil and your capabilities thoroughly and
don't grow potatoes because Jones has
been successful growing them. Find out
il you know how to grow potatoes and if
your soil is suited to them: IL so. go
ahead. If moi, stick to the crop of which
YOU are nav making money, because 1t
is suited 10 our soil and because you
know how to grow 1t.

Asserting Fruit for Market.

At this season of the year at horticul-
tural meetings and at farmers institutes
one hears one or more papers read by
fruit growers or fruit handlers. each urg-
ing the asserting of fruit before market
ing. 1t seems almost incredible that this
subject needs urging every year. for the
fruit rover has only to try the plan sug-
gested to find out for himself that 1t pays
well. 1t is not to be inferred that the
first grade Of fruit will sell at prices
which make it unnecessary to market the
lower grades. but simply that II the fruit
is assorted instead Of mixing the several
grades together the sale will be quicker
made and for a much better price. This
ougt to be sufficient inducement for any
grower to do the work for the advance in
price will pay a big price for he labor
Involved. Particularly should fruit be
carefully assorted If one appeals direct
to the city consumer. BY his daily con-
tact with attractive goods of other kinds
the city man appreciates. unconsciously

Why not give consumers what they want
