DEDICATORY sErtv-teus OF BRINSLEY METHODIST CHURCH A new Methodist church was open- ed at Bririsley Ont., on Sunday, Jan. 22. This church is the result of a union or two congregations, Mars flilI formerly of the Ails,a Craig cir- cuit, and Ebenezer tA the Crediton 'circuits These people have suCceded in building a church which reflects great credit to the whole community and is also,. a credit to Canadian Methodism. The church seats about 230' pOeple. The foundation, is al cement and the main 'walls of the Miurch are built of Milton i•ed preSe- ,ed' brick backed with the brick from the two old churches. 'rite imeement is suitably arranged for Sunday School Work, lacing divid- ed into six elass rooms all converging to the platform, enabling, the super- intendent to 900 every seholaf in the School. A kitchen is also provided equipped. with 0 china, clipboard, it table OW a eorrinte door opening into" the school room, giving good abcora- modation for sitpeers anti events Of a fangernellt of windowsall Qf Wbleh. •adlo.enaqfedthbeylefardildidstYliT1' InFel.liorryweolt btritli'lereyloautilvigespaexopdleolli,zei swhaesredaeinuaetletrid, ery of the repo young men of the community who made the supreme sacrifice in the recent world war. The windows are beyond criticism as works of art and give an impressive effect tothosewho,comesto worship. The furniture is of black ash throughout and the decorations are in perfect harmony. The church •is also lighted with a Dominion electric lighting pant and this adds mater- ially, to the comfort of the building. At 5 t thohy e rear of the church a drive she 100 ft, also electrically lighted, providing ample .accommo- flatten for motor cars and horses. The total equipment of shed and church is valued at $21,000, the greater part of which is provided for. The dedicatory service was con- ducted by the President ,of the Lon- don Conference, Rev. Joseph W. Hib- bert, at 10.30 a.m., who preached an eloquent and much appreciative dis- course on Ephesians 5: 27. .The 17 trustees were present and through the secretary -treasurer presented the building to the president. The old- est member of the Board then pre- sented the presideat with a golden key, after 'which the church was dedicated to God for religious wor- shT; the afternoon the Soldiers' Memorial window woe unveiled bY Major W. T TJlens, , of Corbett, an address being given to the Young people by Mr. George Stanley, of Lucan , • In the evening at 7.20 the Presi- dent of the Conference again preach- ed a forceful and searching sermon on the 'words "What hast thou done" Marked attention was given during the discourse and the service was greatly appreciated by all. Special music was rendered by an augmented choir. The contributions of the day almost reached the $1000 mark. Again, on Monday evening the' peo- ple gathered together to enjoy an oyster slipper which had been taste- fully prepared by the„ladies of the Aid and congregation. A. program of 'mimic, instrunteotal and vocal, hi- terspersed wibt recttatiens and ad- dresses was then' given in the audie torinniS presided oiSer by Mr. John Sherritt, of St. Marys. The services of Sunday and the social evening of Monday were emi- nently satisfactory and enjoyable to all and the 'people of the community rejoiced greatly in the inspiration and profitableness of the event. COMMUNICATION CHOOSING ASFLOWER AS' AN EMBLEM' Pon EXETER' For some time it has been a mat- ter of discussion among many of our citizens, as well as the subject of one letter, I understand, to the press, as to what flower should be chosen as an emblem of Exeter. Many of our villagesetowns and cities have chosen with the result that the choice -has come to mean something mare than a ,simple flower to the people. The older people, as well as the children, take a pride in growing the flower chosen and this develops a love, not only for itabut for flowers in general This /cannot help but aid in the de- velopment of the esthetic 'side of character,and in a finer appreciatien of the beautiful in nature. Now, as the flower chosen, it should have at least four character- istics, viz. ease of cultivation, beauty, a long -flowering period and a mean- ing that is inspirnig. The first qual- ification is quite common though there are some flowers that are ex- ceedingly diffieult to grow success - 'fully, as for instance the dahlia, which frequently- baffles the skill of some of our best amateur gardeners. A few secure an abundance of bloom while many succeed' only in lgrowing large and luxuriant plants. The sec- ond qualification Is where --people most widely differ in theiretastts, though nearly all agree that some special flowers, such as roses, pan- sies, morning glories, etc.,have cone siderable beauty. The third characteristic, we drop just now to mention the meaning of some of our cominoner 'flowers. Sweet Alyssum means exellence or beyond beauty; Aster, love of var- iety; Zinnia, thoughts of absent friends; Rose admiration; Moss Rose superior merit, and so on down the long list of roses; . Pansy, pleasant thoughts, or think of- me; Nastur- tium, patriotism; Narcissus, egotism; Gladiolus, ready armed; Dahlia, dig- nity; Geranium, gentility; etc. etc. Now, what shall we choose? May I be allowed to respectfully suggest that -the Gladiolns possesses the four characteristics mentioned, to a very large degree. It is easily cultivated grows almost anywhere, almost un- der any conditions and yet amply re- pays good care and' cultivation. It has beauty. This doesn't need to Pc emphasized. It is one of our. fin- est Cut flowers. It blooms for months, from midsummer till the frost eomes, and its meaning might PC adopted as a motto by everyone. It surely Might be used as an Menlo- attonal thought for outedhildren, our Churches and our people. As to the manner of coining, to a decision I suggest that all be green an oppOr- thrifty to have their say, It should Pc clone soon, and perltans the neW Horticultural Societe can Work mit a plait by which the concenstis bf oohs ion euit Zia obtained..

Shelter Is l‘fost Dash -able. .In the firsi place, "An ounce of (prevention is worth a pound of cure,' and the prevention is shelter. No :natter What kind of stock is in the pasture shade is essential, and much more so is it for, pigs on account of the thin coating of hair on theih,.., bodies. If the pasture for pigs is so situated ,that there are no trees to afford shade to .the , animals i would be just as well to keep them shut up during the hottest parts o the day and allow them to run out , during the evening, night and early morning hours. By keeping them in a pen that is Somewhat darkened, they miss both the hot rays of the sun aad the` flies that are always so bad around a stable of any kind, derinetbe hot weather. Give Them a "Hog Wallowa" Some peeple provide a "hog wal- low" in their pasture which is a very good thing, but the location saould be some place in the shade, as et is a well-known fact that the 'hide will hlisterefar quicker when wet, than when dry. A pig, seems to Abink . that a wallow is an, essential thing, and if be persuades the farmer into thinking 'the same, the farmer should lend him to, believe that doiring. the 'teat of the day is the best time to keep out of it. Vaseline Good for Sunburn. If the pigs have become sunburn- ed at all, it is well to keep them ,inside for a few days aed thoroughly gsease their bodies, with some nice, smooth grease.such as vaseline. The grease tends to keep the air from the irritated skin and ease the un- comfortableness of tbe animal. Vase- line also has a wonderful healing and curative property which makes it preferable in such cases.—J. b. McBeath, 0. A. College, Guelph. Ifeep BECO(i COWS In Winter as Cheaply as Possible. Daring the winto.r the brood sows should. be maintained Os cheaply as possible, but a,t, the same time -they must be properly fed in order to far- row a large' number of healtay, well -grown pigs in the spring. Best results are obtained when sufficient food is given to produce daily gains on the sows of one-half or three- fonoths of a pound. To do this the grain feed must be limited, and di- luted with some roughage, for unless ,he ration has sufficient bulk, the sows Will become constipated and hungry, due to the undistended con- dition of the digestive tract. Legume hays are the cbief roughages avail- able at this season, and their use will cheapen the cost of feeding. Ilfalfa Excellent for Feed. Either alfalfa, clover, soy -bean, or tow -pea hay makes an excellent cougeage, and when fed., little or no high-priced protein concentrate is seeded to balance the corn. Bright, leafy alfalfa hay gives the best re-, suite of .any of these roughages, Alfalfa nteal Is simply the best grade `..at' alfalfa ,hay choplied into a meal. Ct�voc hay contains almost as much nourishment as alfalfa hay, and soy - *bean -bay, cut, and cured when the bearissare almost ripe, is a very' nu- tritions feed. Cowpea hay should be aut when the first pease are ripen- ing and consequently does not have as high food,value as soy -bean hay. Great care must be exercised in cur- ing soy -bean and cowpea hay, for the slalks are very heavy and elle- eulent and unless thoroughly doled are-ea.pt to Mold. Under no condi- tiOn should a brood sow be fed neon any roughage "Which is not bright, nutritious, aod 'free from smut, or mold. She does not relish or thrive on such inferior feed. It is Very apt to cause sevec digesive troubles aad limy lead to the loss of her littei. ti4,44,44,44 Unnecessary Loss Among Young Pigs.
