As a result of the findings of a national Committee, the Live .Stock Associa­ tions of Eastern and Western Can­ ada have joined forces in presenting a petition of the Railway Board seek­ ing to compel railways to install and use at least two movable partitions of suitable type in all cars used for transporation of live stock. The sug­ gested specific toll for cars so equip­ ped is one dollar per car per trip. The annual loss through alone placed lhrogress nt O, A. C- At a recent O. A. C. alumni meet­ ing, Dr. G, L Christie, president of the college, reported that the new horticulturalbuilding was now in partial use and that the services of, W. H. Smith, an expert in storage of fruit under refrigeration, had been secured. The cellar of the new* building had been equipped with several insulated rooms for experi­ ment's, on this subject and great benefits ' "shoul'd ' accrue' ‘ to' ’ i'vui't growers from this work, The con- stuction was also going toward of several new greenhouses, with which will be connected a shbw room in which- displays -of modern horticul­ tural work can be made and season­ al flower shows held. Much improve­ ment in the grounds -of the college has been completed, The new main building is well on towards comple­ tion an'd part of it may be ready for occupation by Easter. The Sow Thistle Menace bruising under present conditions' is at over $2,500,000. Overseas Apple JIarket A. Fulton, overseas represen-Mr. tative of the Ontario Fruit Growers Association, writes: “Generally speaking, the Ontario fruit growers are d-oing well with their grading this season, but fall­ ing down considerably in the actual packing of fruit. I make particu- iar reference to. ‘.slacks’ which are far to prevalent. More care is need­ ed. in filling, racking and tailing the barrels the right height .before press­ ing in order to secure a tight' pack.” De also refers to a recent visit to Antwerp, where he saw the ’first shipment of Ontario Ben Davis -.ap­ ples unloaded. The fruit landed'in excellent f condition, he :said, and has' given every satisfaction to the buy-. ers. 7" ‘ .. V - . ’ as saying that’ Ontario apples are' fully equal to American. Growers are cautioned to pay par­ ticular attention to “facing’’ each barrel. In some cases the porrest apples have been placed on top with the result that they give a wrong im­ pression of the barrel’s contents effect its value detrimentally. In a recent address A. R. G. Smith, district weed inspector of Western Ontario, suggested to farmers that a supply of weed killer should be kept on hand to -control small patches of perennial sow thistle. In emphasizing the seriousness of this menace, he pointed out that in On­ tario in 1929 over 100,000 acres of sow thistle were harvested and over 500,000 acres polluted with it. He declared that 23 years ago Prof, Ho­ witt of O. A. C. issued a bulletin warning Ontario people, that unless this weed wa’s- controlled, it would be* on every farm in Ontario. It is now in practically every township in the province, he said. t Must .Have License All persons other than producers, including farmers transporting their own fowl, must have a license from the warden and the county clerk if they want to transport fowl on the highway from one place to another.'

J. BERNARD RHODES, M.A., Ihe following Christmas Message Avas delivered by Rev. J. Ber- Ch’ -ch- <JeS’ tlle mQrnitl£ sei’Vice ip Cavep Presbyterian ' ‘This shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped m swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.” That is how our authorized version gives the message of the angels to the shep­ herds long ago, But that Is not how St. Luke put it, With •that instinctive interest in the minutest details which is characteristic of a true physician -Luke was always scrupuously careful in his use of the' definite article in a sentence, in writing his gospel he described every incident with the strict accuracy that he used to" practice in making the diagnose of a case. And in Ris account of the first Christmas,, tlie smallest Word that ho chose was chosen ’ deliberately and puiposely therefore is pregnant with meaning, Luke did not say “This shall be a sign, ye shall find the Babe” but this is the message as he recorded it “This shall be the sign, ye shall find a Babe.” Merely a change in the article you say, a very slight alteration, and yet how increasingly suggestive the words are, The translation “This shall be a sign” implies that it was only one sign out of many,' whereas when you read This shall be the sign, at once it is marked out as the .all important thing that alone will authenticate our discovery and show us that we havp reached the object of our quest. Equally important is the change of article -in the other part of our text. “Ye shall find a Babe” suggests that there were many babes in Bethlehem that night and that one of these in particular was to be sought. On the other hand the phrase, “Ye shall find a Babe” places the whole emphasis on the fact that it was a babe and not any other person who wa<s the promised Saviour. The angel announced the advent of Christ the Lord. Him the Sheppards would find, not in the rosfilendant figure of a proud monarch but in the helpless form of a little babe. That isi the wonder of the nativity. The (Messiah, the annoint- ed of the Lord, whose coining had ’ * hand and of His advent God had was a. babe. “They all were looking for a To slay their foes and lift them high. Thou earnest—a little -baby thing That made a woman cry.” In. this sign we see the wonder of Christ’s woodcut has the linesr- Here’s a wonder never known, - A King, a Manger makes His Throne.” uJfje Bxrirr SiiuvB-A&unralf Established 1873 and 1887, Published every Thursday moralKau at Exeter* Ontario SUBSCRIPTION—-$2.00 per y**!* R advance.

There are several reasons for this. It produces the milk-fed grades which bring the highest prices; the leading wholesale merchants are now* buying poultry by Government grades with sub­ stantial differentials between each grade; the premium assured for the- birds which grade “milkfed” makes crate-feeding worth while; and all poultry intended for eating purposes should be properly finished before being marketed.

Fall wheat has entered the winter in good condition and a demand for hay is also indicated. All classes of live stock' in Bruce have gone into winter quarters in about average condition. In- Fron­ tenac the demand for fresh 'milkers has fallen off with prices around $5 5 and $65. More winter dairying in Grey is indicated by the increased delivery of cream to creameries dur­ ing wintei* months.

In all the years since the first Christmas Day that has beVn the wonder of the world Before the birth of Jesus it wasi a. common expectation that the Christ, the annointed Lord "would.come. But it walj expected that visible splendour would attend his- advent, and that he would come in all the panoply of heaven’s power, Instead. “The angels brought the message of a .Saviour’s birth, Said He was the Saviour, Sent'to all tho earth” AVe cannot begin to fathom the mystery of that solf-abnegation by which He who was rich, beyond all computation and comprehension, for our sakes became poor. To what infinities did his eye reach in^the far flung spaces of the heaven, and yet the rough boards of a manger shut in his vision on earth, AVhat innumerable number of living creatures His hand fed. Yet H6 became dependant on the ca-re that others might give, so utterly helpless was: He at His birth. What1 effulgence of light streamed from His person in the unmeasured a:ges- of eternity —for in heaven they need no sun, since the Lamb is the light of it—yet on that night long ago he veiled it in fle.-h and not even a halo, with which sacred art delights to invest* the Infant Jesus, shone around His .head. How vast was the sweep of His dominion who ruled al! things by the word of His power, yet' the doors of Bethleheni’s inn were.closed to Him, and His first appeal to human hospitality mot, only with rude responses. And what transcendent majesty was His, AVho from the beginning existed in the form of God and had the very nature of God, yet He disclosed Himself to men in humility and simplicity of a little child. “That glorious Form, that Light insufferable, 'And that -far-beaming blaze of Majesty, AVherewith He wont at Heaven’s High Counsel Table To sit the midst of Trinal Unity, He laid aside; and here with us to be Forsook’the couits of evelasting Day •And chose with us a darksome house -of mortal clay.” ................ 1" lines can 'do more than fairly suggest the made, who in the amplitude of His love Not even Milton’s stalely lines can 'do more than fairly suggest the sublime surrender that‘He made, who in the amplitude of His love foi* men did not abhor the Virgin’s womb. In presence;of the Babe-of Bethlehem who can be proucl? Pride of birth, pride of intellect, pride of achievement have no place there. Our self-conceit Is seen to be self-deception. And the sole adornment of human nature nve discover, is the imperishable “orna­ ment of a weak and lonely spirit.” In that sign we see also the* Avonddr of Christ’s life. The swadd­ ling ‘bands suggest the limitations which characterised the costly life of Jesus. How cribbed and cabined and confined that life was in certain respects. He was born in a stable,, brought up in a little mountain village whose only claim to fame was its narrow bigotry. So jaundiced and illiberal was. its outlook that the village became a byword in men’s months, and the proverb was on everyone's lips “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Jesus lived there for thirty years. Even When an opportunity was presented to es­ cape from this restrictive environment, on the -occasion of His visit to 'Jerusalem with I-Iis parents He refused to avail Himself of it. Instead He returned to the circumscribed outlook of that obscure village. In another respect Christ’s life was limited. He was Goil' In­ carnate—perfect God and perfect man—yet He voluntarily laid, aside the exercise of His omnipotence when He took upon Him out nature. Even though He possessed divine attributes He deliberate­ ly refused to use them. For He chose to live a life like ours, a. life of entire dependence upon the Father. He came to earth to identify Himself with us, to share the experience of our human lot and therefore He would not avail Himself of any power that was not within our reach also. The Gospel of St. John makes this very- clear. “The words I„speak,” said Jesus, “are not mine but the Father’s that sent Lie.” “The works I do are not of myself, but. the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works.” And of life as a whole Christ declared “As the living Father hath sent I live by the Father.*’ Thus Jesus’ life was-one lived by faith, in dependence upon the Father from Whom He received the power He put forth. That is the two-fold wonder of His life. Jesus was limited in respect of His environment; He was self-limited in the exercise of His own inherent Divine powers. Yet the Babe who was wrapped in swaddling clothes has become the First-born among many brethren and the Saviour of the world. Browning caught the truth of the. Incarnation when he put into Pompithias’ mouth the lines “I never .realized God’s b.irth before, How He grew likest God in being born” and the message in that fo'i* us is simply this; we need not be crampod by our own circumstances nor defeated by our ■limitations. For as. Jesus lived in depenednee on God anjl receiv­ ed power that made Him triumph ovei’ every adverse conditions so we can live in that close dependence on Christ by which our life will be filled with power Divine. There is a philosophy abroad today that bluntly declares, “things make men.” Let us give no heed to it. The life of Jesus is it’s sufficient refutation. Lastly, in the sign that the Angel revealed to the shepherds we see the wonder of Christ’s Kingdom. “Ye shall find a. Babe,’’ and ever since Christ was born in Bethlehem the little child has been the symbol of that Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is essentially the Kingdom of the child-like. “Except ye turn and become as little children ye can in no wise enter the Kingdom Of Heaven” was the solemn declaration that Jesus Himself made in the course of His active ministry, tified childhood and one has beautifully of wisdom. Christ . .... ... .. _____ __ . . . ... was with deep significance that the first beautitude was conferred on the child-like. “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the ' Kingdom of Iledven.” Before the -birth of Jesus, child-life was held of small account but Jesus was. born in Bethlehem and there­ by the birth-right of every little child was established. It is very fitting, then, that Christinas, should be pre-eminently the .children's festival. For Christmas Day is the anniversary of the‘ discovery of a child. And as Christinas comes around once again it appeals to us to cultivate the spirit of childhood. For in the. passage of the years we tend to lose the spontaneity, the sincerity, the simpli­ city that characterize the child spirit, AVe became cynical and , callous, swollen with self-importance, qncrusted with the canker of care. But if we let file little Child of Bethlehem lead us we shall recover that spirit this Christmastide,. And what is that spirit? Robert Lewis Stevenson tells lis-’in his Christmas sermon “The King­ dom of Heaven is of the child-like, of those who are easy to please, and who love and give pleasure," “Easy to please and who love and give pleasure,” It is such as these “who to their childhood cling and keep their natures as fresh as moirn,” who "Hear again the angels sing, today the Prince of Peace is -born.” There is only one way to keep -Chiistmas antj that is in the spirit of the.
