During the suction stroke, air only

liquid fuel is then injected in a spray
through small nOzzles. This fuel is
vaporized by the heat of the vapor-
izer and is mixed with the inert gases
which remained in the chamber from
the previous explosion stroke. On
the return stroke of the piston the air
is compressed, forced into the vapOT-
izer and, mixing in the right proper
ton with. the fuel, is automatically
ignited. The working stroke and the
rejection of the burned gases take
place during the next forward and

Taking General Direction of its Cur
rent 1t Always Shows Ascent
and Growth.

Edouard lie Roy, in his book, The
New Philosophy of Henri BergesOn":
In the depths of ourselves we find lib
erty; in the depths of universal being
we find a demand for creation. Since
evolution is creative, each of its mo
ments works for the production of an
indeducible and traRscendent future.
This future must not be regarded as
a simple development of the present,
a simple expression Of germs already
given. Consequently we have no au-
thority for saying that there is forever
only one order of life, only one plane
of action, only one rythm of duration,
only one perspective of existence. And
If disconnections and abrupt leaps are
visible in the economy of the past
from matter to life, from the animal
to the man-we have no authority
again for claiming that we cannot OBJ
serve today something analogous in
the. very essence of human life, that
the point, of view of the flesh and the
point of view Of the spirit, the point
of view of reason, and the point Of
view of character, are homogeneous
extension of it. And apart from that,
taking life in its first tendency and in
the general direction of its current, it
is ascent, growth, upward effort, and
work of spiritualizing and enamel
pating creation; by that we might de-
fine good, for good is a path rather
than thing.

Beresford pledged himself to the en-

his latest move, for a long time. He
had spoken truly when he had said
that it would take his last dollar,

face as he reflected how much that

all his earnings to Beresford. All he

" a AIDplElCQlL, GIOI6SSOI u
The prime requisites of farm hens
are early maturity, great vigor and
uniformity. Early maturity means
quick development and early laying.
Good constitutional vigor means the
ability to Withstand disease, to pro-
duce strong, husky chicks and to lay
the season through. Uniformity in
form and feather means that both the
dressed fowls and the eggs will sell
to better advantage. Anyone who has
marketed anything from a basket Of
peaches to a carload of steers Knows
that they bring more money when
they are all alike.
Fall is the time to make the flock
The characteristics of the flock with
reference to early maturity, strength
and uniformity can all be greatly i'm
proved by a little care and attention
now The pullets are just coming
into laying. 1t is easy to pick out the
ones that have made the quick
growth The puIlets that lay first are
likely to lay most. Pick them out and
mark them carefully. Or better still
save them and sell the rest. The only
way to ever have a good farm feck
is to develop the nerve necessary to
dispose of all poor or halfway poor
birds There is a lot more money in
a few top notchers than in great
ficcks of mediocre birds. It is only
the pullet that lays early in the fall
and clear up until moulting time the
next fall that should be tolerated on
the farm
Hardness generally accompanies
early maturity but not always. Any
