Heavy timbers were cut and hewn by the pioneers who dreamed of an- other land where proud cathedrals raised guilded spires to heaven. They labored hard and long. When the buildings was completed two relig- ious sects conducted services -within its walls. Primitative Methodists held services in the forenoon and Wesleyans in the afternoon. When it? REV, RICHARD PAUL The First Minister Church union was effected in. 1884 the church was known as the Dbenezer Wesleyan Church which 'name It retained until the formation of the United Church of Canada. The land of the church was done ate() by the late David Meyers and 1 the buildings were constructed by Arthur Murphy and Robert Maxwell In 1893 the church elders decided to have the church renovated. It was was bricked. The first pastor was the Rev, Richard Paul, who was billeted in the homes of his parishioners. He covered its circuit on horseback, fording streams and over tangled paths through woods. I Many other pastors have served the community in this church. The ministers previous to the un ion of 1884 were : Rev. Richard Paul, Wm, Monkman, R. Patterson C. S. Willis, James Smith, James Markham. The probationers were also :'Wm. Thornley, G. H.

The government officials have dis- covered a new method of snaking money ; or to be more exact, they lave decided to take more advantage of a method long in force. Their favorite indoor sport nowadays seems to be inventing new licenses. If you buy a car, you must have other license if you take a notion to that is usually the intention of a man when he invests in a limousine, you must equip yourself with an- other license if you tae a notion to imbibe a little of the beverage avail- able at any Sir 'Henry Drayton's tea rooms you must shell out another couple of dollars to secure the nec- essary license. .If you take it into your head to get married, you must have another license to add to the pile among your souvenirs. If you . have a pet canine you must have a license. If you huy a radio you must of two dollars. On the face of the permit is tarried the information !that the paper must be carried at all times when in possession of the gun whether it be when you are on the 1 way to the hunting ground, during !the actual operation of trying to hit a flighty jack, or coming: home with 'your bag thrown over your back. And that's not all I For the sank !price of two dollars the government provides you with a' big button, much !like the caddies wear on a golf :course, and on this is a number cor- q !responding with that on face of the ,license, the law requiring that his ! button must be displayed on the coat t sleeve or lapel, or in some such con- t spicuous place. e A license is required by any resi- t dent who uses firearms or any type of gun for the purpose of hunting or shooting and protected or unpro- tected bird or animal in the county affected, which are Brant Welland, Lincoln, Wentworth, Peel, Halton, York, Waterloo, Lambton, Essex, Kent, Elgin, Middlesex, Perth, Ox- ford, Norfolk, Haidimand, South Huron and South Wellington. The sub -section does not apply to farm- ers residing and hunting on their own properties. A license may be issued to any person who has resided in any of the named counties for 12 months. Boys under the age of sixteen are not per- mitted to carry firearms of any de- scription. In all prosecutions the possession of a firearm or air gun will be prima facie evidence of hunt ng. MORE ARE LIKELY At any rate, the general trend ap- teal's to be for bigger and better icerises! If the present upward scale ontinuos in very few years a li- ense will be required for almost very word or deed. Innocent ciLiz- ns will be imprisoned or heavily Med for breathing without a permit edestrians will not be allowed to edge from the house on New Year's ay or at any time in the new year ntil they have renewed their last ears' walking permit.

A usual in ancient Greece, a beautifu si;e was selected on which to bull the temple on the side of Mount Prion. There were three terraces. From the upper one the temple of the god looked out In calm majesty over the sea. It was surroundell by a sacred grove of cypress trees. Marble porticoes stretched the length of the terrace. A broad flight of steps led up to it. l3elow were three small- er temples and a sacred altar before which the healing ceremonies were practiced. On the lowest of the three terraces was the agora. Archaeologists who did extensive excavating In the early years of this century discovered that the first building had been erected in the sixth century B.C, Time and earthquakes ravaged the beautiful spot, so that It was necessary to rebuild the shrine several tithes. Xenophon, physician and prisoner of the Emperor Clau- dius, was the last one known to have added to it. Hippocrates, "the father of medi- cine," was born In the shadow of the temple, the teachings of whose god he was to carry to heights unknown. lit of e�f Of 5.4 5H o0(1lilt tlY 10- of of a a 8- u- te a- ul he at he 1a nt ve id l- es 5- 58 at e- d d, s it 1t 0 i s 1 TYRANT WHILES.

H. !'ear, Clerk. 1 • For several seasons past the steer n feeding experiments at the Charlotte town Experimental Station have, in general, consisted of a study of the d ' comparative feeding value of ruta-• n baga, or swede turnips, and cull po- _ ;tatoes. The extensive seed -potato o industry within the province makes , available each year large quantit- d les of cull potatoes suitable for t . feeding purposes, and it seemed de sirable to compare the value of these - with what has been for many years i the standard succulent feed, namely, swede burnips. In 1927 twenty eight steers were fed for a period of 122 days ; in 1928 twenty steers were fed for 76 days, and in 1929 twenty-four steers were fed for a period of 107 days The following pens were comparable during the three seasons, I Lot 1—Swedes were fed at the rate of 40 pounds per steer per day at the start of the period, the am- ount being reduced at the rate of one pound ,per week until the com- pletion of the feeding period. Lot II—Swedes were fed at the rate of 20 pounds per day reduced by one- half pound each week until the end of the feeding period. LotIII was fed with Swedes at the rate of 15 pounds per day per steer throughout the duration of the test. Lot IV re- ceived cull potatoes at the rate of 25 pounds per steer per day throu- ghout the feeding period, Lot V was used as a check pen and receiv ed neither roots nor potatoes, The hay and meal ration in every ease was at a uniform rate for all pens, the roots or potatoes being the oh - 1y variable. Striking average of the figures obtained for three years' test swede turnips as fed to Lot 1 gave a re- turn value of $6.'26 per ton, basing hay meal at local market cost prices. Lot 11 Cor the same period returned a value of $9.25 per ton for the am- ount of roots fed. Lot III gave a re' turn of $10.69 per ton over the check lot receiving no roots. Lot IV receiving potatoes returned a value of $10.52 per ton for the potatoes so fed, or approximately 3'2 cents p aer bushel. From the above it would appear that very profitable returns are to be obtained :for roots or cull pota- Attended Races Many from Brussels attended the Seaforth races last Wednesday af- rrnoon. tune with that of the post office t f Block will be stopped by police oific- ing sal s and searched for his Tempus Pix It lS permit, xt Anyone caught buying cigarettes illicitly; or smoking them without the official documen` will be 111 just as sorry a plight.

It i S moth c. g ble that greater returns or ton were obtainable from swedes e hen fed in moderate quantities, nd it would seem in this respect hat a moderate amount given uni- o•utly throughout the feeding per- od is superior to Api•oximately the ame total tonnage fed in gradually lemming amounts until the com- etion of the test. This point is supported by addit- (Mal tests in 1927, in which one lot oceivnd 80 pounds per steer per lay during the entire feeding por- ed, while a pecortd lot received 60 mends per steer per day at the dart this amount being reduced by 2 p a I.i f LUEVALE Thomas and Mrs. Anderson spent 1 Wednesday with relatives in Morris.

The lot fed unieurmly shade a return of $6.89, while those fed decreasing amounts returned only ' $5.95 per ton for the roots fed. ln' neither case was the return so high as when smaller amounts of roots were fed. Perhaps the outstanding finding of the test in the return value erceiv- ed for cull potatoes. With our seed potato industry at its present magni- bud'e there are large quantities of small and cull potatoes available each year, that have little if any market value. Growers are often- times at a loss as to the disposal of these, but it would seem from the forgoing figures that large returns- might eturnsmight be realized from this produce if fed to good grade beef steers. A test in 1929 feeding only 15 pounds of potatoes per steer per day! leads us to believe that the amount fed should be at least 25 pounds per day.
