There is also a market for the’ 
skins. With my long experience. if 
I were to raisé them again, would 
handle the breed with fanciest pelt, — 
the Black and Tan; but I advise a 
‘beginner to learn the business with 
the meat breeds. 
— Ineidentally, to stay in the bus- 
iness, you will need a big dog that 
can be trusted to bite effectively, 
and a double-barrel shotgun. I was 
stolen out of the business by a man 
who found my fat rabbits less trou- 
ble to catch than the wild ones. 
““And whosoever will be chief 
among you, let him be your servant; 
even as the Son of Man came not 
to be ministered unto but to minis- 
ter, and to give His life a ransom 
for many.” 
This is Jesus’ answer to the closed 
shop—the effort to limit benefits to 
those who pay tribute. Service—the 
greatest service to the greatest num- 
ber—is the Jesus way. 
And like His other teachings, this | 
is the most practical. Happiness, in- 
ner comfort and_ satisfaction are 
_ found in a life of intelligent activity 
in. sérving. others, rather than in 
gratifying greed and covetousness, 
and trying to make others think we 
are down trodden. 

My offer of mailing service is 
meeting with better success than | 
had dared hope. Am very particular 
as to what I mail—nothing out of 
the range of good people. But I am 
amazéd at the variety of offerings 
suitable for gifts for all occasions. 
Have just finished paying for a 
little mail scale, size and shape of 
a fountain pen, and with a clip 
- whereby it can be carried in the 
pocket like a fountain pen. | find 
mine invaluable and it is a nice desk 
gadget for either man or woman.

a nice gift for any occasion. | sin- 
cerely recommend it. Also Farm

its cost and more to gardener and.

An astrological reading (hes her 
birth date would be a thrilling pres- 
ent for a school girl. I can well re- 
member how thrilled | was when a 
sensible cousin took me to a fortune 
teller. Said every youngster ought to 
have that experience once. I've 
chuckled many a time over the 
memory of how | skillfully 1 was 
pumped. A set of rubber stamps,

Am rather disappointed in the 
Red Banded Sanseveria, probaly be- 
cause I expected too much. It prop- 
erly should be called ‘‘red edged.” 
Am teld that the red. becomes 
greater as age advances. Only very. 
close examination can tell the 
youngsters from the plain Sanseveria. 
I depend entirely on labels. Do not 
trust my eye sight. Plants a year or 
more old have red edges. None of 
mine are old enough to show a real 
_band, like the Gold Banded. 
Miss Aletta Reed of Ft. Myers, 
Fla., put me onto a fact about San- 
severias, for which [I am_ deeply 
thankful, and that is rooting leaf 
cuttings, That knowledge does not 
seem to be widespread, for nearly 
all my visitors say it is new to them. 
Miss Reed has been very kind 
about sending me plants and the 
last package still gives me a laugh. 
Did you ever see the cone of a Nor- 
folk Island Pine? I carefully opened 
the box. There mostly covered, ap- 
peared to be a small snake. | 
jumped violently. Snake did not 
move. Got something and poked it. 
Still no movement. “Hump, smoth- 
ered!’ thinks I. 
With nose well turned up, I Haid n

was the label, ‘Cone of Norfolk 
Island Pine.”’ I did not tell Ralph.
