The house saved but the smokehouse to- re- tlie at A recent survey by one fit the leading insurance companies elicited the rather astonishing fact that it was much safer for A person to be working in a factory than to be on* gaged in domestic duties, Nd less than 46 per cent, of the injuries cared for by 22 visiting nurse assoc­ iations in a metropolitan city arose out of domestic pursuits, and but nine per cent, happened while the person was at work. Among the domestic injuries near­ ly one-half were due tp falls on. or down stairs, over chairs and jn bath tubs, and to slips on rugs or off the step ladder. It would’appear 1 that these types, of home hazards deserve more consideration as a cause of dis­ ability than they have peen receiv­ ing. Burns and scalds are next in im­ portance as a cause of domestic in­ jury. No less than 28 per Cent, of home casual'ities' during 19 3 Q were directly traced to the stove, grate, lamp and match haxards. While undoubtedly spectacular progress has been made in industrial establishments against accidents by means of improved safety devices, physical examinations and personal instruction, a concentrated and reg­ ulated effort gardingi the been made, able whether pass. rather than 'the officials, have .the regulatory power, which of necessity must be of a highly personal nature. In the last analysis, the question re­ solves itself into one of attitude and self-discipline Care is the great ally; carelessness the great foe. Canadian apple shipments for the present season to January froth amount to 1,005,318 barrels, 27,727 halDbarrels and 1,2 <0,3012 boxes, as compared with i,071,909 barrels, 15,350 halt-barrels and. 649,123 boxes for the corresponding period of last year. ' The personal factor is one of the most ‘important is the successful feeding of pigs, declares a well- known authority. The successful hog feeder realizes that feeding is not merely a mechanical operation, but one requiring skill and close ob­ servation of his animals, to obtain the maximum development dnd the greatest returns for the feed con­ sumed. •along these lines re­ home has as yet not In fact, it is question-. it .will ever come to For obviously the individual, than 'the officials. Test Fanning Mill Screens In the District Representatives’s office in Wellington Coiunty, a small fanning mill driven Iby electric mo­ tor, has been installed for the pur­ pose of testing fanning mill’screens The farmers bring in a small quan­ tity of oats which are put through the m'ill. It is then determined the proper screen which they should se­ cure for their fanning mill. Mlany farmers have taken advantage of the service.

T. L. Kennedy, Min­ ister of Agricuture, which has aL ready been'pjit under way; The chief reason why Ontario live stock is not fed on grains from Western Canada is that cattle raisers do not care to run the risk of pollution of their fainns by using Western grain, which comains a great quantity of weed se^s.sand wild oats. To overcome thw obstacle Colonel Kennedy has. appointed, Toward Fraleigh, M.P.P., for-East Lamibton, to confer with Western Canada representatives as to the possibility of having- all feed grains ground, in the elevators be­ fore being shipped. This would eliminate the risk of spreading nox­ ious weeds, as the seed would ground along with the seed. be Acrcage of Home Grown Grains Re­ quire Adjusting •Oats form by far the greatest ac­ reage of Ontario grown grains. There are five and one-half afcres of oats to every acre of barley grown in this province; there are three and two-tliirds acres of oats to: every ac­ re of mixed grains; there are two and one-quarter acres of oats to' every acre of barley and mixed grains. The average yield per acre of the above crops during the years 1922- 1929, according to statistics, are as follows: Oats, 3 6.7 bushels; barley, 32 bushels, and mixed grains 38 bushels. In pounds of grain per acre the, yields are: oats, 1247.8 barley, 153 6 and mixed grains 1’620. In terms of digestible protein per acre the yields are as follows: Oats, 109.8 pounds; barley, 138.2 pounds, and mixed grains 13 6.S pounds. 1 If farmers aim to produce more protein at home and thus lessen the amount of this costly nutrient 'they must purchase in order to balance their rations satisfactorily, / they' should plan their .cropping .systems so that more barley and. mixed grains will be grown, fewer and larger acreages gumes. .acres of oats devoid to le- Grow More Legumes • The (cost of suitable rations farm animals determines in no small way the degree of sultant from live Protein forms the of supplementary chased grains, plements one is required to buy de­ pends trient feeds, stock fore, 1 of their home. t Legumes are rich in protein. Usu­ ally they possess other valuable characteristics -as well. Authorities on live stock feeding universally agree upon the value of well-cured alfalfa hay. Oat and pea hay is recommended, also by such author­ ities as George Rothwell, Dominion Live Stock Commissioner, and L. H. Newman, Dominion Cerealist. Le­ gume hay materially reduces the amount of high protein supplements required and repders more efficient .the use of the home grown grains.

Not those who exalt themselves, but those whp are liumible andi consciously helpless, can pray prevailingly and have their prayers answered. The first of these two prayers par­ ables was spoken “to the end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” We are told that “faint” here hag the meaning, "cave in.” It is alj too easy to cave in 'before we have prayed clear through. In his own perfect v’isdom and( love God knows why it is best, sometimes, to postpone the answer to our iprayers.' But He ulso knows, because of the mysterious but plainly declared laws of prayer, that we must continue to pray, and pray clear through, if the answer js to come. We talk about our disappointment because our prayers are not answered. Haye, we ever thought how disappointing God must be when we, by caving in, make it impossible for Him t» answer oui’ prayers—prayers, that He longs to answer? The parable is one that teaches by sharp contrast. The unrighteous judge, ’ “Which feared not God, neither regarded man,’’ is not an il­ lustration of the character or atti­ tude of Godi toward His children. A widow came to this judge and hsk- her do She was out. jus- able unto certain which trusted) thpnjsely.es that they were rigbtepUi anti despised .ethers.** The Pharisee was such a one— and we have all lied this pharisee spirit ourselves and are continually in danger of it, lie “prayer thus with himself”--1 not to Godi, but to himself. It war# a self-congratulating soliloquy, not a prayer at all, *> it begins with the 'blunt word,, “God,” not “Father,” or any other expression recognizing, the love and. grace and holiness of God, Then follows a self-satisfied list .of the yir- • tues of this Pharisee, He says: “I thank thee, that I am not as other' men are,” etc.; but really he was not thanking God for this at all, bub thanking himself, The praypr did . not reach the roof of the temple,- much less the courts of Heaven. The • Pharisee did not need God, but ap­ parently wanted to impress every"' one that God needed him. . 'Meantime a publican stood afar' off, not daring to “lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying: “God be- merciful to me a sinner.” His prayer was heard. 'Said the Lord: “I tell you, this man went down to his- house justified rather than the other* for every, one that, exaltetlj himself shall be exalted, Christ had not yet died, and the- sin-convicted publican knew noth­ ing of theology, but the whole ex­ perience looked forward uncon­ sciously by faith to the death and' resurrection of Christ as the snipers’5 Saviour, and Romans 5:1 describes the state of this publican after this prayer: “Therefore, being justified- by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Year un­ til e Big Poultry Two factors, of outstanding portance present themselves to farmer who lis domtemp'Iatin.g' the purchase of chicks this. year. The first of these is the mortality rate of the chicks he buys and file sec­ ond, their pnospective ability as egg producers. It is estimated that a total of eighty 'million chicks will be required by Canadian farmers this year if poultry flocks are to be maintained at their present figure of of approximately fifty ..million birds, allowing for an average mortality of 2-5 per cent, .and a loss from preda­ tory anim'als, etc. of five per cent. To take'care of this demand, there •has been a striking increase in the number of commercial hatcheries producing approved chicks and 1931 promises to be a big year in poultry world. the To Hog Market For Grain There is considerable interest farmers in a statement recently pre­ pared by Canadian Authorities from Canadian conditions as to the* acre value of the three principal grain crops, wheat, barley and o'ats, when fed1 to hogs. The factors for consid­ eration are the price of hogs, the amount of .grain fed to produce'a pouiid of pork, and the acre yield Of the grain concerned. It is found that when 400 lbs." of grain are fed to produce 100 lbs, of hog the pel’ acre value of the grain is:.......«................................ for Optimistic Reports The. weekly crop report of the partment of Agriculture presents a most optimistic survey of conditions throughout the province. Generally speaking, there seems to have been little winter killing of crops while live stock in the main wintered, well. Although rain had retarded seed­ ing somewhat in Brant County, wells have been replenished and. consid­ erable plowing has been donp. Con­ ditions of clover and wheat dll’ Duf­ ferin continue tp be favorable while in Durham .alfalfa has come through the winter in the 'best 'condition in years. Essex reports an increase in tobacco acreage with farmers also interested in good seed corn. In Frontenac about 30 per cent, of the cheese factories are running, with a good flow of milk. Ideal conditions prevail in Haldimand, ‘with no indi­ cations of any wiri'tey killing. A plentiful supply iof go,od quality seed oats, barley and alfalfa is indicated in Hastings with a probable surplus of potatoes. Hurpn repoi'ts that fall wheat has withstood, winter aiid spring conditions with little appar­ ent injury, while this report is dupli­ cated for Lamibton. Middlesex in­ dicates a heavy demand for good quality feeding cattle with these animals somewhat scarce. Live 'Stoick lias, been overy active in this district. Increased interest in cattle is manifest in Peterborough where 48 approved ‘bulls have been placed. Prince Edward reports orchards , in promising condition. De- X. COUNTY LIVESTOCK IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION TO HE FORMED At the January session of the Huron County Council the necessary by-law was passed establishing Hu­ ron County as a and coming into 1931. In any County this by-law lias farmer buying a the first time is a 20% bonus from the Government' on the purchase price of the animal, providing sulch animals lias passed Government inspection and have suc­ cessfully passed tile tuberculin test or are sold subject to thb test. Befbi’e any bonuses cah bo> paid it is first necessary to form a county Livetsock Improvement Association, “Better Bull Area* effect on May 1st. or district where been passed, any pure bred sire for eligible to receive which shall have as its' object the general improvement of all livestock throughout the County. It is thro’ such an organization that the bonus­ es in connection with the “Better 'Bull Area” are grated 'and, as this by-law comes into effect on May 1st a meeting of all interested livestock men is being held in the Agricultural Office, ■Clinton, 2)5 th ai. 2 p.m. Director Of the Branch, will" be the policy and explain fully the con­ ditions oil' which bonuses will be paid. The formation of such an associa­ tion should mean much to the live­ stock industry in Huron County and breeders ,of pure-bred cattle in all townships of the County should plan to be in ■attendance at this meeting,. on (Saturday, April Mr. R. Wi Wade, Ontario Live Sitock present to outline ed the justice of vengeance, on adversary. The judge would) nothing about it—for a while, kept on coming and asked. |She so persistent that .she. wore him Finally, not .from any sense 6f tice or righteousness, he granted her prayer simply to get rid of her. “Though I fear not God,” saidi the unrighteous judge, “nor regard man; yet, because his widow trouble th me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.” Then the Lord Je,sus draws the conclusion by .contrast: “And shall not Godt avenge his own elect, winch cry day and night unto Him, through He bear long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily.” God’s "speedily” .may seem a long time to us—-but- it’is the very instant' that He. knows the time for the an­ swer has come. If the unrighteous judge, who cares nothing at all for the impor­ tunate woman, finally answers her prayer because of his own selfish desire to .get ridi of her, how much more shall our Heavenly Father, who loves uf so much that He gave His own .Son to die for us, answer, our prayers, as we show our trust in1 Him Iby continuing to pray. But we ■ must pray, not in anxiety, 1 but with thanksgiving. (Phil. 4:6, 1. . ■What,seems like a strange inter­ polation is spoken here by the Lord, between the two parables of prayer: “Nevertheless, when the Son of Mail cometh shallHe find faith on earth?” Why did He say that there? He has been exhorting His ciples, andi all God’s Ichildren, to lose faith but to pray < through in. unbroken, undisturbed faith. How many will be. found doing this on earth' when Christ comes again ? The implied answer is, very few.- It is a prophetic ques­ tion, looking forward, to thei time of apostasy within the professing Christian Church, which is predicted repeatedly jin other New Testament Scriptures. This apostasy is des­ cribed in 2 Thessalonians 2: 1-12, and in 2 Timothy 3. It is 'only too evident that we are living now in the beginning of this predicted; apos­ tasy, When many ministers and lay­ men, Sunday School teachers and other church workers are denying one or another or even all of the precious fundamentals of the faith as I'evepledi in the Scriptures. It is a time to pray'as never before/ Self-righteousness makes true prayer impossible. No human be­ ing has any right to ask. God to an­ swer prayer except oh the ground of the righteousness of the. Soil of God, imputed to those who have re­ ceived Him by, faith as their Savior. Therefore the Lord “spake this par- PRESENTED TO TOWN 1 Magistrate S. J.
