Not only must the animals be of approved types, but experiences has clearly shown that certain kinds of farm animals greatly excel others in their ability to utilize the feeds provided. Especially is this true in connection with the feeding of grains. Poultry would probably head the list of this regard, which the pig standing a close second in its ability to manu­ facture feed grains into’ meat econ­ omically. The dairy >cow, because of her ability to give off from her body immense quantities of milk during a long lactation period would rank third followed by beef cattle and sheep. Cleaning Out Couch The eradication of couch grass, otherwise known as quack, twitch or I scutch grass, is one of the hardest problems with which the farmer has I to deal. IFew people realize the enormous quantity of couch grass roots which exist in infested soil. Tests conducted by‘the Central Ex­ perimental Farm at Ottawa show weights of roots ranging from 1,531 to 6,997 pounds to the acre — as much as a heavy crop of hay. No wonder it is hard to clean out when it spreads by the roots as well as seed. Thoroughly cleaning out the roots is the one effective way of getting rid of couch. In small areas this may be done by hand. In larger areas by shallow plowing and work­ ing thoroughly with the cultivator to keep the roots turned up to the sun long enough for them to “kill.” Only as large an area as can be thorough­ ly cleaned up at one time should be undertaken as halfway measures are only lost time and effort. Hay and clover fields entered the winter in rather poor condition af­ ter the prolonged drought of last year and winter-killing was fairly extensive in all parts of the province The acreage of hay crops will there­ fore be considerably reduced. Pas­ tures and meadows have not made the same growth as fall wheat and fall rye and their condition on May 1st was only 8i6 per cent, normal.

C. H. Dickinson, M.A., a few brief years ago the minister of Ash­ field Circuit (dear, dead name, that last) and today beginning his big and important Jalbors as General Manager (Book Steward, another dear dead name) of the United Church Publishing House. So writes R. E. Knowles in an interview pub­ lished in the Toronto Daily Star. This new offical has had a strik­ ing career, previous to his recent en­ thronement in the busy Wesley Building on Queen St. —.—he sits where the ever-to-^be-honored Eger- ton Ryerson once sat and ruled. “Mr. Dickinson,” I asked. “I ob­ serve you are referred to as a ‘young man’—is there anything in that?” “Oh, I hope so—at least still in my ’30’s,” replied thine serene, self­ composed, evidently forceful trustee of this great department. Where came thine early down?” 1 inquired. “(At St. Marys, Ontario.” “Any other celebrities to that town’s credit?” “Quite a few.' Arthur Meighen. And Timothy Eaton the elder. And Ralph Connor—he studied there.” “Then there was Dick -Grant the famous runner,” I contributed “I’ll tell you one thing,” quoth this graduate of the same, “and that is this: when I was at Varsity, the second largest quota, for any high school in ^pntario, came from St. Marys. Brampton was first.” “And where was your .first pastor­ al charge?” “At a little place called Ashfield—near Lucknow.” “Is Lucknow a place or just a lo­ cality?” I asked. “Both—then my next charge was at St. Andrew’s at Moose Jaw—associate minister there I left that, to take up pioneer work in Northern Quebec, a little paper village.” “Why did you retrogress like that?” “Because I thought it was my duty,” came the imperial reply. “And where you go next—from the Quebec ‘wilds’?”' “To Montreal —as colleague with K. M. Munro in the American (once Presbyatrian church there). Later, I was called to Ibe colleague with Dr. Leslie Pidgeon in the E.rskine-American United Church.” “Is not Leslie George’s (Bloor St.) brother?” I queried. “Yes. And. Geo. is Leslie’s brother, just as much,” was the corrective reply; “from there I was about to become the minister of Centennial United, Toronto, when this new work claimed me.” “Has Centennial Church forgiven you yet?” I ventured to inquire. “I hope so. Everything was pleasantly composed. They showed a beautiful spirit, or recognition that in church life, as in all other, the whole is greater than the part.” Short Cut to Spotlight “Does your past experiences lead' you to believe in colleague-ships, Mr. Dickinson?” “Quite. My contacts as both assistant and colleague, were of the greatest value to me. It is a fine discipline, for one thing, teaching men to work together to advantage.” ‘/‘Why is it,” I disgressed, “that ministers, mere pasto.rs, however happily situated, always seem to jump at any kind of clerkship, or secretary-ship, or bureaucratic job of any kind, like a trout at a fly or a Scotsman at a coin?” I asked. “I suppose the uncharitable would say, as I do not, that it is 'because of the spotlight peril of our profes­ sion,” was the unsigh tfiul reply. “In the allotment of church of­ fices since union, there has been a remarkable harmony, in terms of former denominations, has there not?” I queried. “Yes,, remarkably, almost sublimely, so, I should say,” was the repsonse. “'It was my own impression, at the General Council at Ottawa last 'September,” I ventured to interpol­ ate, “that, for almost the first time, one could catch a ‘face at the pane.’ Did the same thing impress you at all?” “To what, exactly do you re­ fer?” “To the debate—on the question of the ‘fixed’ or the ‘indefinite’ pas­ torate. There was frequent reference to the ‘explosiveness’ of the question I recall.” “My own opinion,” returned Mr. Dickinson, “is in the problem, in that matter, is inclined to be acute in terms chiefly economic. Largely a question Of downright ‘hard-upness.’ Ministers can Stick almost any priva­ tion and sacrifice, if they have rea­ son to think it will not last forever. And I do believe that, at the root of dissatisfaction in most cases, lies the altogether laudable desire of all min­ isters to provide for the education of their children, I believe a larger pro­ ceed to higher education, than of any othei’ calling.” “But, going back, to denomina­ tional perils in the United Church, the harmony has been ‘ remarkable, has it not?” Aim ost miraculous. And the danger stage Almost past. Qld times are fading past. Take myself— no longer a youth—only one year of my ministry was in denomination­ al service. Yes, the harmony has been beautiful indeed.” '“Personally,” I ventured, “J cred­ it you former Methodist chaps with the big share of the credit for that?’ “On what grounds?” ‘These grounds: that there were so many more Methodist than Pres­ byterian ministers came into the United Church, perhaps about 5 to 4. The power, then, was in their hands. And yet the Very Rev. Dr. Roberts, when Moderator, made the astounding statement that not, since nion, in any church court, had there been even a division along old de­ nominational lines. “Yes, I believe that to ,be the fact” was the reply, “and a very wouder- ful and delightful fact it is. Person­ ally, to .go back to the question of the placing, and retaining of pastors I would not favor a ‘fixed’ term ab­ solutely. My view is that the best arrangement is that of an indefinite pastorate—but with certain reason­ able elastic possibilities.” Is Big Employer "“Now,” I digressed, “these prob­ lems happily disposed of, let us talk, ‘shop’ for a while—tell me about this big concern you have taken over to begin with, have you a pretty sizeable staff?” “All told, I believe, in the neigh­ borhood of three hundred and fifty,” he replied. “I remarked, downstairs, that splendid figure of Egerton Ryerson in oils,” I observed: “how it must have grown since his day—by the way, do you ’ do your own printing here?” “Surely,” he replied, “that is one ■of our busiest departments.” “Then, as a big employer of labor, please tell me this—do you tremble in your shoes at the dread prospect of the Committee for Industrial Or­ ganization turning our nation into a drove of slaves if our printers et al are permitted to risk the dread con­ tagion?” “I shall make no pronouncement on that,” quoth the new general manager, with true .St. Marys cau­ tion. “Well,” I renewed, undiscourag- ed, “ignoring all leading questions, tell me something as to what you consider the right and proper atti­ tude to take in the matter.” “That is too wide an order. But I will say this: that I approve of The Daily Star’s vigilance against the peril of a government coming under the wing, of financial interests Further, I believe that Principal Morgan, of McGill University, is right in his contention that govern­ ments must be free, and that the public must be free to criticize the actions of any and all governments.” “Do you, in the United Church Publishing House, do only church printing, or general printing?” I in­ quired. “Oh, we do general printing. But, so so speak, only as a stabilizer— in a sense, to keep the factory go­ ing.. We print, for instance, many books, or other publications, along educational lines. This is one of the arms of the church. And our great founder, Dr. Egerton Ryerson was as passionate an educationist as he was a churchman.” His Prime Ambition “Then your prime ambition,” I presumed, “is not that of merely swelling the church’s income?” “It certainly is not,” was the em­ phatic reply! “it is to serve the Unit­ ed Church of Canada in the highest and most helpful way one can. Our church papers are all published here.” “This other youth, Dr. Cragg, is delivering the goods in fine shape, everybody tells me.” I appraised, al­ though I unfortunately forgot to add, just as a pledge of his growing fame, that he is to charm the Galt Kiwanians next week. “Yes,” agreed his colleague, “I think that is a very .general feeling that the New Outlook has taken on life. And I believe new and attrac­ tive features of improvement are yet to be forthcoming—we are all work­ ing toward the same high end.” con­ cluded this colleague to whose wise hands have been entrusted the in­ terests of a department whose ibuild- ing and plant represent an invest­ ment of a million and a half—which issues nearly 30 periodicals with a combined circulation of 800,000 co­ pies—‘and which last year had a turnover of $1,300,000 from the safe of periodicals, books and printing. And, if the expectations of the en­ tire church (and my* own official opinion thrown in as well) are to be HIS RHEUMATISM IEFTJIIM Sufferer Follows Good Advice —and Takes Kruschen The writer of the following letter had a bad attack of rheumatism, and was advised to take Kruschen. He did so, and describes his experience in the following words: “About two years ago, I develop­ ed a severe attack of rheumatism in my eft should blade. I tried all sorts of remedies, but with no results, un­ til one day my brother-in-law, on hearing of my suffering, exclaimed. There is only one thing for rheuma­ tism! That is—Kruschen Salts!’ I decided to purchase a bottle, and >foi* the first week took a teaspoonful in a glass of hot water each morning. The pain gradually disappeared and ■has now gone entirely, I am still taking my early morning dose, as I feel convinced that it is helping to keep me fit.”—J. G. B. Rheumatic conditions are fre­ quently the result of an excess of uric acid in the body. Two of the ingredients of Kruschen Salts are notable for their work in dissolving uric acid. Other ingredients of these salts assist Nature to expel the dissolved acid from the system. relied upon, the future days will jus­ tify, the choice of this still youthful son of St. Marys town for a trust so great, an influence so far-reaching— for this Dickinson is obviously one of those ‘doers only’ who can achieve a maximum of washing with a min­ imum of suds! Tested Recipes ’ I Variety in* Egg Dishes iScience has discovered the exist­ ence of several vitamins in food, each vitamin being essential for a certain phase of growth or for the preven­ tion of a particular type of disease. No one item of food possesses all of the vitamins in the -quantities re quired by the human system, but no other single food has a wider vita- | min content than eggs. Eggs con­ tain vitamins A, Bl, B2, and D. Vi­ tamins A and D essential to growth, also to the prevention of certain types of eye troubles, and to the proper development of bones and teeth are found abundantly in eggs, while vitamin B, the vitamin of yeast which prevents nervous breakdown, loss of weight, and anaemia is also present in moderate quantities.
