Many of our farmers believed in ! the sound logic of arguments used in | that campaign. The result was that • in many parts of Ontario the thicker fat type of hog is practically extinct.

One essential in co-operative market­ ing is a proper grading of the produce. In regard to hogs, it was felt that the desired end would be accomplished much more speedily, and.- to an extent that would be a Teal asset to Canada’s tog industry if grading were made compulsory. Last April at the Do­ minion Swine Conference held in Ot­ tawa a resolution was passed to the effect that at stock yards and abat­ toirs, and wherever necessary, hog grading should be compulsory, and that all information regarding grades should be given to the producers. The object was, of course, to make it cer­ tain that premiums on ‘select’ hogs would really reach the pockets of the men who raised the pigs. “Imagine the surprise of our best hog producers when they learned that new regulations, drafted by the Do- [ minion Department of Agriculture, ties of our swine men, anil they know that they have the backing of the Live Stock Commission Department, of tlm farmers company and of the U.F.O.” Gordon, seven years old, was play- and for some time had are not producers.

Tho result has been that few hogs are being sold on a graded basis, and the regulations are fast be­ coming a farce, A neighbor watching the game called to him: “Gordon, why don't you fall down?" “I can’t,” answered the boy crossly; “I’m not allowed to.

The honest hog men of good intentions felt that once more they had been played for ‘suckers.’ No one dares to deny that the old regulations with a premium on selects improved the type of Canadian hogs in many dis­ tricts-, and also resulted in the produc­ tion of a class of bacon that was ap-. yet maintaining the spirit of the mode- of the moment.

Hicks, B.S.A.) claims several world’s records for egg laying 'at the farm. In order that these i claims may be exactly understood the w_____________3,o£_,h°f’ [almost verbatim. After saying that previously 215 eggs per bird was re- 'garded as high as could reasonably be loofled for, the report continues: “The contest just completed finishes up with an average of 231 eggs per bird, that is 106,226 eggs from 460 birds, which is considered to be a world’s record. Apart from this sev-. eral other world’s records were made both as to pen production (ten birds to a pen) and from individual birds. The pen that won the contest with a score of 3,057.5 points established a world’s record. The pen which scored highest for egg production with a total of 2,946 eggs or an average of 294 eggs per bird made a world’s re­ cord for number of eggs. The Barred Rock that finished in the lead with a total of 409 points with 326 eggs also made a world’s record for points, all breeds. The outstanding record of all, however, goes to a S. C. White Leg­ horn belonging to 'the University of British Columbia, namely 351 eggs in 364 days.” Points are awarded on the following basis: one point for each egg averag­ ing 24 ounces to the dozen; one-tenth of a point deducted for each ounce that averages less than 24 to the dozen; bonus of one-tenth o fa point for each ounce of eggs that average more than 24 to the dozen. Eggs averagoing more than 27 ounces to the dozen are regarded as just aver­ aging that number. Eggs averaging less than 20 ounces to the dozen, ex­ ceedingly badly shaped eggs, and soft- shell eggs are not credited. Sklm-MIlk for Laying Hens. Results of a series of tests carried on continually since 1922 at the Nap­ pan, Nova Scotia, Experimental Farm, should prove valuable, particularly to the dairy farmer, conclusively that marketed through munerative prices, tests are given in the latest report of the superintendent of the Farm, which may be obtained from the Pub­ lications Branch, Department of Ag­ riculture, Ottawa. The birds were fed with grain in the litter and mash in the hoppers. The grain mixture was made up of 100 pounds of wheat, 100 pounds corn and 50 pounds oats, while the mash mixture consisted of 100 pounds bran, 100 pounds shorts, 100 pounds corn meal, 100 pounds crushed oats, 25 pounds oilcake and 10 pounds charcoal, birds were used In One pen was given extra and for the scrap was added to ing the five years periment was carried on milk fed hens showed average more than those fed beef scrap, only fair to assume that the increase is due to the value of skim-milk as a food for hens. since they indicate skim-milk may be the egg at very re- The details of the Two pens of the experiment, skim-milk as an other- pen beef the mash.

In the marketing of apples the har­ vesting of the crop is an operation which often receives too little atten­ tion. In many instances, the poor and damaged appearance of graded and packed apples as seen on the markets can be traced to rough handling in the course of picking, although the damage may not have been noticeable at the time. Injury may result from lack of supervision, the employment of careless pickers, or from the use of unsuitable receptacles. A bulletin on “Packing Apples In Barrels and Boxes,” distributed by the Publications Branch, Department Agriculture, Ottawa, stresses the cessity of instructing the pickers the correct method of picking in der to avoid finger bruising and the pulling of the apples with the spur adhering to the stem, the latter being a frequent cause of skin punctures. Apples should be pulled by using the full hand and giving a combined twist and upward motion to separate from the spur with the stem intact. The regulation picking basket should be properly. padded, to avoid bruising and should be carried in. front of the picker at all times. If unlined wicker baskets, or rough-sided boxes are ■used, the fruit may be damaged. A sharp blow, or even a skin puncture due to’ one fruit knocking against the stalk of another, may result in the testing up of rot which will seriously depreciate the value of the fruit and make it useless for storage. Cloth bags are not to be recommended as they crush'against the ladder, causing the fruit to be bruised. Feeding Market Hogs. large proportion of pigs marketed in one or more respects to com- with the standard required by of ne- in or- A fail piy either the pork butcher or the bacon curer, a frequent fault being over-fat­ ness. Often this is due to unsuitable breeds and breeding, but live stock men all admit that feeding, whether it be bad or good, has a very distinct influence en the quality of the finish­ ed market animal. In fact some feeders go so far as to claim that pro­ per feeding methods are of equal im­ portance to correct feeding. In order that hog raisers may have easily available information on proper meth­ ods of feeding the Dominion Animal Husbandman has Issued a pamphlet on Breeding and Feeding the Market Hog, which may be obtained from the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Ill-balanced ra­ tions, injurious substitutes, deficient rations, over and under feeding, lack of intelligent understanding of nutri­ tional requirements generally, all ex­ ert a particularly powerful influence during the early growing period as affecting later development. For in­ stance, the demand of the bacon curer is for small well finished, fine-bbned carcasses, with a good proportion of lean and a low proportion of offal. To obtain these the feeding must be cor­ rectly carried out all through the de­ velopment of the animal. The use of inferior feeding stuffs, or the mis­ use of suitable foods, will cause other­ wise excellent carcasses to turn out practically worthless or- to be reduced seriously in value.----------------------- When two egotists meet, it is a case of an I for an I. k? 1 ' -n 7'"'1 ~n - ,*........"’"",777T"77T"7I- September 18. Lesson XII.—The King' dom Divided—-1 Kings 12: Golden Text—Pride goeth destruction, And a haughty before a fall—-Prov. 16. 18. ANALYSIS. I. EVIL COUNSEL, 1-11. IL THE DISRUPTION, 12-20, III. A PEACEMAKER, 21-24. Introduction — Solomon well, but ended badly. His wealth was his temptation and /his ruin, He gave himself over to a life of luxury, his people were heavily taxed to maintain an expensive coui’t, and “his wives turned away his heart after other gods” (11:4). So troubles multiplied for him in his later years. Adversaries appeared both on the north and on the south of his king­ dom, and he lost territory which his father had conquered. There was dis­ content and incipient rebellion Israel, and prophets denounced folly, predicting the division of kingdom. (See ch. 11.) I. evil counsel, 1-11, Rehobo-am went to Shechem. David had been chosen king in Hebron by the men of Judah, 2 Sam. 2:3, 4, and after sqven years by all Israel, 2 Sam. 5:1-3. Solomon had been proclaimed in0 Jerusalem, ch. 1:32-40. This assembly at Shechem, an ancient and important city in the hill country of Ephraim, must have been due to the discontent of the northern tribes with the rule of Solomon, and with the growing influence and importance of the tribe of Judah. It is quite evi­ dent that the spirit of independence and' freedom was still strong in the men of the north. No king’s author­ ity could be imposed upon them, but they themselves would choose their king. At Shechem, Judah would have no more influence in the matter than any other tribe. Jeroboam was an Ephraimite, who had been a servant-’.of Soloifioh, and had been employed by him as an overseer or director of the labor which he required of the people in 'his great building enterprises, Ch. 11:26-28. He had been incited to revolt by a prophet who was displeased with the- favor shown by Solomon to-the worship- oL foreign deities brought into Jerusalem. by his foreign wives. His disaffection/ having been discovered he was obliged to flee into Egypt, from which he now returns at the call of his northern friends. Thy father made our yoke grievous. This was the people’s chief complaint. Solomon’s expensive court, his many officers and servants, his army, and his building of palaces, fortresses and temples, had put a heavy burden upon them. They had to bear the ebst, for while Solomon did add t ohis treasury some gains from foreign trade, he did not, like David, have in his later year the spoil and tribute of conquered countries. (See chs. 4:7, 26-28; 5: 10-11, 13-18; 6:1, 38; 7:1-3; 9:10-28.) The old men, that stood before Solo­ mon, gave good advice. Rohoboam . himself was forty-one years of age 12-20. before spirit began great in his the and should have gained ^ome wisdom. He was undone by the, evil counsel of the younger men, a fact which, of course, does not prove -that old men are always wise, or that young men are necessarily foolish. But foolish temper and evil counsel prevailed. II. THE DISRUPTION, 12-20. The rough words, with which. Reho­ boam answered the people’s- deputa­ tion are, of course,-figurative; but. to a proud and high-spirited people they must have been peculiarly offensive. The scorpions (vs. 11 and 14) are de­ scribed by an ancient Syrian writer as long bags of leather stuffed with sand and armed with spikes. The Ro­ mans gave a similar name to a whip the lash of which was loaded with sharp-edged bits of metal. The prophecy of Abijah (v. 15) will be found in Ch. 11:29-39. The out­ break of the people was immediate and decisive. They would be ruled no longer by the house of David. The old feud between Judah and1 the other tribes was revived, Judah alone re­ maining faithful to the grandson of David. The pious historian sees in all this the hand of God fulfilling the word of the prophet. The folly of sending Adoram who was over the tribute, or levy of forced labor, was of a piece with the other acts of the king and his mad coun­ selors. His fate at the hands of the enraged men of Israel might have been anticipated. The king sought safety in flight. III. A PEACEMAKER, 21-24. The tribe of Benjamin, whose terri­ tory lay just to the north of Judah and bordered upon Jerusalem, seems to have adhered in part to Judah. But it must bo remembered that in several passages it is distinctly said that one tribe only remained wih Rehoboam, (See for example, Ghs. 11: 13, 32, 36, and 12:20.) Another difficulty lies in the almost incredibly large number of men said to have been gathered for war with Israel,, v. 21, The number may have been overstated in the king’s records, Shomaiah the man of God appeal’s at the opportune moment as peace­ maker. Ye shall not go up nor fight against your brethren, he said, de­ claring to the king and people the word of God, Semaiah appears sev­ eral times in the story of Rehoboam’s reign in 2 Chron. 11:1 to 12:16. ------------,•<---------- - Canadian Board Sets- New Rate ' For Coast Grain Freight Charges Are to Be Equalized With Those Obtaining Eastward Ottawa—The judgment of the Board of Railway Commissioners issued here, giving the export rate of grain via Vancouver the same advantage as grain for export eastward to the head of the lakes, as now obtains under the Crows Nest Pass agreement, and also ordering a reduction on grain rates from head of the lakesports eastward, is expected by railway officials to re­ sult in a very substantial reduction in railway revenues, running perhaps to millions of dollars annually. The board orders that the rates grain and flour from all points the Canadian Pacific branch lines the three prairie provinces head of the Great Lakes be equalized with the present C ana d'Ju m pacific main line rates. ther railways in the prairie provinces- are required to adjust their rates- correspondingly. This, It is stated, will mean reduc­ tions from every point located on branch lines or any railway.in west­ ern Canada which exceeds the main line scale of rates. The reductions in rates on grain flour will involve, according to experts, in the aggregate, S'.ev-; million dollars,, which will ac-’ to the advantage of the grain. in- on on in to the and rate ■eral ; crue , growers of western Canada. West-Bound Rates Revised The export rates west-bound to the- Paciflc coast are also revised so as to put all branch line points on a footing of equality with C.P.R. main line points^. This is an important read­ justment, which it is expected will be of advantage particularly to graain shippers, in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Freight tariffs, on merchandise shipped from distributing centers in the three prairie provinces are order­ ed to be revised so as to secure the advantage of thh short haul mileage. At the present time these distribut­ ing tariffs are based 'exclusively- on Canadian Pacific Railroad distances. The rates on. grain for export from Port Arthur, Fort William, West Fort and Armstrong to Quebec via the Transcontinental Railway are reduced to 18.34 per 106 pounds, and- further­ more, Quebec is put on the same foot­ ing as., Montreal In respect of export rates on grain from Georgian Bay ports and from Toronto and points west on general merchandise.
