Hro ilarelay Warren, I RA., MP, When We Are Disciples Matthew 3$: Iii 20; Romans 1:13-10; Luke /4;24-35 Memory Scripture: GO ye there,' sore, and 0.40 all nations, bap- tizing them, in the name of the rather, and or the Son, and of the holy Ghost; Teaching thelik to observe all things whatsoever have commanded you: and, lo, alp with you always, even unto the end of the world, Matthew 2ti:19, 20. Our memory scripture sets forth our task. No disciple is exempt from this command. As we go forth daily in the home, factory, shop, school or church, we are to help our fellowmen to become disciples. For some, obedience to these words, means going to people in other coun- tries and of other tongues. But we are all in this together. The great multitude of the blood- washed wnich John saw were of all nations and tongues. {Rev. 7) The church is likewise commis- sioned to baptize and to teach. But the fact is that we are so dilatory about our task that we are not even keeping up with the growth of population, We need a. great spiritual awakening. In the passage in Romans we get an insight into the spirit of a ',man who took seriously the great commission. He went into all the world preaching the gos- pel, not for money, but because he was in debt. He owed it to all men to share with them the Good News. How much better to have this debt than the seri- ous debt incurred by the easy path of credit buying. It was this sense of obligation that made him willing to stand a din the shadow's of imperial Rome and carry out his mission, The passage from Luke speaks of the cost of discipleship. To- day's trend is to make disciple- ship appear easy. But Jesus pre- sents to his follower, a cross, No affection for our nearest relatives must interfere with our obedi- ence to Jesus Christ, The great comforting word is that of Jesus himself to us, "Lo, I am with you always even unto the end of the world." It pays to serve Jesus. Are you proving it so? Having been fed with a daily ration of orange juice—in the form of citrus pulp—a 40-cow herd at Womberal, Australia, has increased its milleand butter yield,,by 10 percent. UNCHANGING NAZARETH — Relatively unchanged since the days when Jesus walked it; street in his youth, city of Nazareth nestles in hills of Galilee, in I sreal. The city is a focal point for tourists especially at Christmas time. HEADS UP — The French still have a great many open-air markets, although they have regular American-style super- markets, too. Bargain-conscious shoppers usually patronize the outdoor types. where cut-rate prites often reign.

Peking's "Fox Hunts" Run By Radio The Chinese Communists have just invented a new sport called "fox hunting" and have held their first national competition in Peking with 172 competitors, 82 of whom were women. The Chinese version, bears lit- tle resemblance to the old Eng- lish one, however, for the Chi- nese "hunter" is on foot, he has a radio receiver with a direc- tional antenna instead of hounds, and the '"foxes" are hidden trans- mitters. In this game, the receivers are homemade by the contestants, and it does not take much imag- ination to see why the game is being played, During the contest Which has just ended, each male competitor had to track down three radio transmitters that were hidden over a 51h-mile course and were emitting signals only at intervals. For the women, only two "foxes" were placed on a 33/4 -mile course. The team event (two men and two women) was won by the Army, but civilians took first place for individual scores, writes S.

B. Bailey says such losses can be avoided by grinding the grain, He found that whole grains introduced into the animal's paunclt had not been broken clown appreciably by the. fluids even after 24 hours. The oppo- site Was true of ground grain. * * The experiment was conduct- eld through a fistula, or artificial opening in the paunch, using small nylons bags through which, the paunch fluids could pen'e- trate. ' Alter 10 hours in the rumen, whole oats had broken down one per cent only, and wheat, barley and corn not at all. * *' * The ground grain showed a percentage breakdown of 90 for, wheat, 81 for barley, 64 for oats, and 51 for corn, After 24 hours in the paunch ,the percentageS for ground grain had increased to 94 for wheat, 89 for barley, 64 for oats .and 84 for corn. Cor- responding percentages for the whole grains after 24 hours were 11, 5, 2 and 4. Thus after 24 hours both ground and whole oats had brok- en down the least, After 10 hours corn was broken down' the least among the ground grains. Dr. Bailey said more whole grain would be broken down in normal consumption than,in the nylon bags but the figures were significant enough to show the wisdom of grinding grain feed,. * a S It would take a mighty big basket to hold all the eggs mar- keted through federally register- ed egg grading stations last year billion of them.

Registered hatcheries are sub- ject to federal regulations that demand a high standard of cleanliness and adequate fumiga- tion of eggs and incubators. They also set out measures for inspec- tion of hatchery premises and methods of distribution of chicks and turkey poults. Supporting the federal regula- tions is the Provincial Hatchery Supply Flock Policy .which is primarily concerned with the eradication of Salmonella pullor- urn disease, Under this measure, blood tests for pulloruin are re- - quired for hatchery supply flocks. • Eagle Tries To Carry 'Off Baby A rare golden eagle swooped on a terrier dog and attempted to carry it off In Chicago recent- ly. The dog was only saved be, cause a policeman scared the eagle off by firing his pistol. Golden eagles carry off live hares and rabbits—even lambs. They have also been known to carry off young deer. A Swiss newspaper told of a tourist who was passing through a mountain gorge when an eagle suddenly attacked him. He used his stick to defend himself and the bird flew away but next minute another eagle appeared and dropped a live pig a few weeks old at the man's feet before flying off. The tour- ist's fellow guests could hardly believe their eyes when be re- turned to his hotel with the pig under his arm. Has an eagle ever carried off a baby? In New Mexico recently a farmer said that an eagle pounced on to his two-year-old son in his pram. buried its talons in his thick woollen coat and began lifting him. The farmer, whose story was vouched for by another man who was present, at once seized a spade and made the eagle drop its burden before it flew away. The child was badly bruised, THEFARN FRONT Feathered Visitor Arrivo By Storm 'Twas five fails ago, I think, I first found, a pair of gLven-wing, Azti teal in my farm pond, I may have skipped a spring or fall singe, but mostly I've been, around,. and I was on hand this morning when, again in a driving November rain, I found thorn settled in for their semi-annual visit. (Please give me leeway as • to time; "this Merning" Means as. I write. I recently wrote of pick- ing luscious grapes in early Sep- tember, and when the Dispateh appeared in late October I had Mail asking if I'd sell some, In, SepteMber, I gave them away!) Well, the green-winged teal is a lovely, bouncy little bird, said in the big Audubon book to be "the sportiest of our docks," and must be kept distinguished from. the blue,winged teal, which is • quite another bird. I am not a duck hunter, as so many of my neighbors are — we live close. to Merrymeeting Bay, which is the best stopover for waterfowl on our whole coast. But I've explained_ before that MY farm flock of ducks keeps us supplied without guns, license and cluck stamp, should we eat that way. And the .dothestic, flock often "toilers" in. wild birds, which are lawfully game in sea- son, but which find the pond a haven. Mostly these wild birds: are black ducks, but occasionally there will be a mallard, and sometimes a sheldrake, These var, om wild birds, sliding in for a rest, have no business with us. Let me walk out by the pond while they are in, and they will raise the hue-and-cry and take off and be gone; But these green-wings didn't. They paid' no heed to me, al- though I couldn't get too close to, them, and while they were here they seemed to be as friendly and tame as my own pets in the same pond. The green-winged teal doesn't nest near here. They winter ra- ther far down the .coast, even to Honduras, and they pass this way in going to their summer nesting grounds, sometimes as fnr as Alaska; but at least west'ard of Quebec somewhere. In migr,1.- ing, you see, the green-wing seems to go afield a mite in order to touch down for a short week- end in Maine. What mysterious path in the high sky was set for him in the dawn of wildlife, that he must always come this way, and go this way? My green-wings have always come in a storm. Great slanting sheets of rain, driven by a harsh, cold no'theast wind off the Atlan- tic rip away, and this is when I find them -here, I .like a storm, and always have, I don't tackle them• bareheaded; I pull on my weather gear, 'and I'm warm aS toast and dry as a bone except for my hands and face, and I wander around to, see hoW things are. It's a pretty wild scene up in the:thick Woods, to see the great limbs on the hardwoods lashing back... And • down in the black • growth, where the footing is soft and quiet and the wind is. held back I have walked up on a bed- ded-down deer who, on a dry day, would -have bounded and gone off like a freight train, Most of the animals take cover in this kind of a storm and become sub- dued: So .as I wandered out past • the pond found :this pair of green - winged, 'teal bobbing. around,...At first sight .I just ac- knowledged theth as ducks; and then I decided • they were teal, and after that I discovered their to .loe green-wings, , They spent two full days With. Me, and since then they haVe done the same each spring and fall. I wonder what schedule contrives to bring them exactly here each tiMe ..just as the storm breaks? How do they know, in. Honduras or in, Alaska, when to Strike itotit. so they can be right here for the no'thettater? I think they drop, in during 'the .evening; about the-time the 'storm makeS., Up; for they are there of a thorn-. NESTLED AMONG Grk ing. And they take off in the gray light of what would be the fourth day, 'after the storm has spent itself. Of course, I have no way of knowing if these two green-wing- ed teal today are the same ones who came down five years ago. I assume they are, because I don't think this great surge of migra- tion that goes on with the birds is than chancy, but don't they raise some young? Don't they have a flock on these trips? My own farm mallards come and go, but not by flying. One year I sent away- and bought a new drake; I have also bought new hens. The mallard is essen- tially a wild bird, willing to do- mesticate himself, but he, too, knew those flyways once and could probobly return to them. Do these free and limber buc- caneers give our lazy old mal- lards a pitch? 0' come with me and be my love sort of thing? Do they tell of happy mornings in the slough holes of Manitoba, or of warm nights when a Honduras moon sleepily caresses the swamps? Do they tell.of tall ships and a star, to steer her by? And do my mailer& shrug indiffer-',, , ently and talk of security and welfare and fringe benefits? Whichever, if either, these green-wings do not use my pond, as other migrant ducks do. They do not fly when affrighted, and while they. are here they are as much at honie as the mallards. They are foul weather friends, coming from a mysterious yon- der in a pattern of life quite be- yond our understanding, and ire- ' turning to it again to leave his wondering — By John Gould in the Christian Science Monitor, albumen qualities that will be appealing to consumers. * * Yolk color, governed 'by the hen's diet, has no effect on the food value of the egg but is a factor in grading. The yolk color may also spark a mild disagreerrient in a house- hold. A survey sonic time ago showed that women preferred lighter colored yolks than did men. And city dwellers of both sexes favored lighter yolks than diA. their country counterparts. e. * The high quality of Canada's- poultry products „did not "just happen". - • It is the result of production programs and policies carefully mapPed out to improve poultry and the production,and sale of chicks. - Responsibiltly here is with the division's Production pioneer in this section, da is field and its National Poultry Breeding PrC;grain,. inaugurated in 1919, is the oldest of its kind in the world.
