Any system of feeding a bacon hog during the first four months that tends towards the laying on of fat is drifting •away from the type that will make into a desirable lean side. Don’t feed more than pigs will clean up*. For the first four months the Tnimal should clean his trough and look for more. The pig is a naturally clean animal, cloanlincss of everything he uses helps in the prevention of indigestion and 'SCOWS. After four months of ago a system ct zcsding the breeding pig should be employed that will still tend towards .growth, muscle, bone and frame rather than fat. In the case of the market hog of fyom four to four and a half months of -age .the onward, effort should be to­ wards maintaining length and scale and at the same time acquiring finish •through the use of more highly car­ bonaceous feeds such as barley and •corn, and heavier feeding generally.

Inoculations sometimes Fails Under ordinary field conditions, the presence cf tho proper strain of legume bacteria in the soil is neces­ sary for the successful growing of .alfalfa or other legumes. It is there­ fore^ always essential to inoculate when there is any reason to suspect a scarcity in the soil cf the bacteria associated with the particular legume "being grown. There are times, how­ ever, when inoculation fails to benefit a crop. Such failure may be assigned to a number of different causes which •■are enumerated in a new Experimental Farm pamphlet which may be obtain­ ed from the Publications Branch, De- d’s- the SIR JOHN A. MACDONALD Canada’s First Premier, whose term of 'office began shortly after Confederation, the 60th anniversary of which is being . Observed this year. Born in Glasgow in 1815, lie migrated with his family in 1820 to Upper Canada, where they settled at Kingston. He was educated at the Royal Gram­ mar School, which he left at the age of fifteen to enter a law office; and was called to the bar at the age of twenty-one. After eight years of practice, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Canada in 1844, and continued to reprosent Kingston in parliament until his death in'1891. His first term of office was in 1S47-8 as-Receiver-General in the Draper administration. By 1857 he had become Prime Minister in the Macd-pnald-Cartier ministry. On the defeat of the Tache-Macdonald administration in 18G4, he was a prime mover in the formation of the “Great Coalition” designed to carry through tho plans for Confederation; and after the resignation of George Brown in 1865, Macdonald was the chief figure in the discussions and bringing into force of the British North America Act. Therefore, at the inauguration of this Dominion"in 1867, he was. selected to be the first premier; and by force of his genius he held the position, with the exception of Mackengie's five years of office, until his death, „ * e pa.rtment of Agriculture, Ottawa. short it should always be remembered In a large number'of cases the rea- that legume bacteria are living things son for lack of benefit from inocula- and to do their work properly must he tion is that the soil has already been in a suitable environment.

Introduction— We begin with this lesson a series cf stumes in old Tes­ tament history, covering the period from Samuel to It.uan, somewhat mere than throa hundred 5 ears. Samuel, who has a prominent part in cur le»eon story, was the last of the groat judges of Israel, but unlike most of those who went before him, he was not a soldier, but a propret. He. lived in the eleventh century before Christ, but the exact dates cannot be given. In the earlier years of his life Israel was sorely oppre«,?d by the Philistines, but under the inspiration of his leadership and the religious 1 faith which he taught to the .people they were able for a time to Throw : off this hated yoke and to enjoy peace and prosperity. (See 1 Sam. 7:13-15). Twice lie gathered the chiefs of the people together for worship -and con­ ference .(7:5-43; 8:4-22). On the sec­ ond occasion they asked him to choose them a king. "Now make us a king,” j they said, "to judge us like all the nation®.” Their coming together in these national assemblies, and their united and victorious action against the Philistines, had taught them the value of unity, and they now sought to make a strong federation of their hitherto independent tribes under a Centre of Canada’s Confederation Celebration working basis. This year the Domin­ ion parliament agreed to the creation of a Federal District Commission with considerably wider powers than pos­ sessed by the older body, and a larger annual fund fo-r improvements. Within the period since Confedera­ tion Ottawa has grown from a lumber town of considerably below 20,600 1 population into a beautiful and mod- I era city of well over 120,000, exclusive 1 will be firmly fixed in the public mind, j The Ottawa attitude is that govern- 'ment or public expenditures for the im- iprovement and beautification of the icity should not be construed other I than as efforts to dignify the chief legislative city of the country, and add to the prestige of the nation as a whole. “Not our Capital, but yours” is the Ottawa interpretation which the city is seeking to impress.
