I suppose they do it rather often,
ministers have a way of touching
frequently upon the • things which
come closest to the lives of the peo-
ple, but a minister preached on Sun-
day last about the keeping of the
Sabbath. He didn't thunder about
all the things which we shouldn't do
on that day, as perhaps a minister of
au earlier age would have done, but
after pointing out the need of one
day in seven as a day of rest and
Worship he drew attention to . the
Lord's Day Act, which has been in
force for the past forty-two years,
eonirenting upon the mild reason-
ableness of it and the obligation ,of
all to 'assist in its 'Observance. He
thought Christian people who value
the Sabbath should endeavor to
avoid doing three things: Those.
things which make -it innpossible«fee.
others to observe the Sabbath; things
which tend to break down the sanc-
tity of. thea Sabbath and things which
tend to make for a less strict obser-
vanes of the day of rest.
Those of us brought up in the mor-
allyhealthy atmosphere of rural
Canada who have reached middle life
cannot fail to see a eonsiderabie loos-
ening of the rigor of the observance
of Sunday even in the rural sections,
much more so in the cities. We can
remember distinctly when every
preparation was made on Saturday so
that the very least possible amount
of work was necessary on Sunday.
The Sunday dinner was cooked, and
served cold, perhaps, reheated, on
Sunday?; the house was thoroughly
cleaned and everything put in order
so that there would be no need of
much house work on Sunday; all
clean clothing was looked over and
laid ready for every member of the
family, even shoes were cleaned Sat-
urday night, as in many households
no one thought of putting brush to
shoe on Sunday. All foolishness, you
say, perhaps. Brit I'm not so sure.
I remember as a small girl how I
loved -Sunday morning, and getting

clothes. hes.
One might
n hay e clean
things during the week, of course,
but Sunday you had a complete
change, with the addition of some-
thing extra,. such as "Sunday
clothes," an expression which -is
scarcely understood by ' the .•young'
people of today. Then, Sunday Was
a •day apart, 'Otte did not do the
things one did other days at all, One
went to church, Sunday school, one
read "good" books, perhaps as the
reading of the young people was
more or Iess strietly supervised.Oc-
casionally the horses were hitched
up and the family went to visit :some
distant member of the family or
sone friend. If there Were grown
up daughters or sons they night
either entertain on go to visit a
friend of the opposite sex.' . This
meant, usually tea with the girl's
family, afterwards attendance at
church* and a walk or drive home in
the early evening, perhaps a walk
through leafy lanes in. the soft stun -
mer dusk, reasonably early
departure, on. the part 'of the young
man for his own home, then Sunday
was over.
•
A very -lull„ drab picture, perhaps
the majority of young folk nowadays
would call it. But after all it is
doubtful if the young people of to-
day really enjoy any More than their
fathers and mothers did. Nowadays
young people expect more and are
unhappy if they do not attain to it.
But each- generation has its own
pleasures and pastimes. One
thing is certain, the boy or girl who
spent S n mday so was better able to
take up the tasks of :Monday than if
the
day hadhe
en
spent racing a
-
rorznd in a motor ear, with hasty and
indigestible restaurant meals at ir-
regular hours and a final tumbling
into bed, alter .midnight, tired and
perhaps a bit disillusioned and cross.
But what I started out to say is
that parents, the mothers of fain-
ilies especially, might do a great deal
to keep the Sabbath as a day of rest'
and worship. Sunday might be pre-
pared for as of old, much might be
made of it, It might be made a very.
happy day from earliest childhood
and in this way would be fortified
about against the assaults of those
who would soninte4cialize it. The
human family needs the Sabbath clay,
We should try to preserve it.

NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR
THE BUSY FARMER
( Furnished by the Department of Agriculture )
Good Advice trict to improve the quality of the r

is producing good results. For the
, first time in years Ontario potatoes
of certified brand have ,been com-
manding practically as good a price
as those from New Brunswick. With
a little persetvorance and an exten-
sion of the organized movement On-
tario potatoes .in a few years should
regain practically the whole of the
Ontario market which was lost
through inefficient methods."
.Speaking to a group of farmers at product d
Picton recently„ Dr, G. I, Christie
President of the O.A.C., gave some
good advice which should be applic-
able to all of us. "That for 1230 I

Better Bull Area
H. A. Dorranee, Agricultural Re-
presentative for Brant County, re-
ports that the Brant County Conn-
ell has passed the necessary bylaw to
declare that county a better bull ar-
ea. A county live stock improvement
association has been organized for
the constant and permanent improve-
ment of Brant's live stock.
Beautifying School Grounds
A praiseworthy movement has been
started in Lincoln County, where a
large number of rural schools arc
applying to the disteict agricultural
office for planting plans whereby the
school grounds inay be beautified.
Rough sketches are made by the
teachers and these are forwarded to
the Horticultural Department at 0.

pared, giving the exact arrangement

flowers. The„trees are ordered from

Grow Moro Barley
A. partial solution' of the problem
of mar]cetiug Canada's wheat crop
will probably be found in the grow-
ing of less wheat and more barley
this year anyway, Barley is, the
great staple grain of the feeder of
live stock, yielding the biggest re-
turns expressed in terns of amniae
nutriment per acre.' In other words,
More actual feed is produced , in a
nominal year from one sere of bar-
ley than from any other grain.
There is in Ontario, too, a steady

for industrial purposes, and when
it comes to the building up of poor
sell, or the reclaiming of weed -ie -
'hated areas, there is no other grain
crop that call be utilized to such
advantage, The presentjbarley acre-
age in Ontario is only about one-half
of the combined aereage in fall and
spring wheat, but present prospects
point to this situation being reversed
with profit to 'the .producer and the
province as a whole.

MILK
Milk is the most important food
for young children, The child may
take his milk as a drink, or on
bread, cereal or fruit. Mill€, is also
used
puddinings: snaking soups, custards and
Milk is a liquid, but it should not
be thought of as a beverage, as some-
thing to drink in place of water.
Liquids are necessary and desirable
end most of our foods contain a large
pereentags of water. Milk is 'a food
containing about twelve per cent of
bolids. These solids are the very
best food substances,
If you evaporate a quart of milk,
you secure about half a cupful of
butter fat, milk `sugar and small a-
inounts of certain minerals which go
to • make muscles bones and teeth.
We cannot see these substances in
milk because they are disolved, but
when we'use milk, we take them
into our bodies and so receive all the
nourishment that the milk contains.
'In addition to these food sub-
star{ces which build up the body and
repair and restore worn-out tissues,
milk contains vitamins whi,ch are
so intiportaut in proinoting growth
and development in children and in
keeping children and adults well.
There is no other food which can
serve as well as the basis of a diet
for a child. It is most desirable that
every child should receive the 'bene-
fits which are derived from the use
of a sufficient amount of milk each
day in his diet.
There have been many e i
Y e effects
r meaof
carried out in which the. effects of
tniIk upon children have been care-
fully observed, and these observations
have shown that children do benefit
by the use of milk.
Milk is rich in calcium (lime) and
phosphorus. ..The green leafy vege-
tables are another source of calcium.
The use of milk assures the body of
sufficient calcium, the lack of which
causes damage to the bones of the
body and to the teeth,
A great advantage of milk is the
ease with which it can be combined
with otherfoods. The need of a pro-
perly 'balanced dint is ferquently
mentioned. The name "protective
foods" has ,been given to milk„ and
the leafy vegetables because of their
ability to make good the deficiencies
of other foods. If we use anilk and
leafy vegetables, we are .protected
from the ill results of an unbalanced
or deficient diet
iMilk is the one food for which we
have no satisfactory substitute.

NEW REGULATION GOVERNING
THE "ROYAL" 500 TRIP
The Ontario Departinent of Ag-
rieulture is again planning to en-
tertain a party of 500 farm boys at
the Royal Winter Pair .in Toronto
next November. This party is made
up of the ten high boys in a Royal
Judging Competition which is held
in each county in October.
Briefly the, conditions of selection
are as follows:
(1) To be eligible for this compe-
tition contestants must first submit
a statement pertaining to the cost of
Producing some farm product or per-
forming some farm operation,
(2) The competition is open to all
farmers or farmer's sons between the
ages of 16 and 20 inclusive on No-
vember 1st, 1930 who comply with
regulation one.
(3) Contestants ehall judge five
classes of live stock, one class df
Miry, and five classes of crops,
uch as grain, small seeds, potatoes
and roots.
To those selected under the con-
itions outlined above the Depart-
ment will provide free of charge:
(1) Railway fare from home sta-
on to Toronto and return.
(2) Meals and lodging for four
nights in. Toronto.
(3) A programme to include a tour
of the City visits to the stockyards
abattoirs and factories aa well as a
study of the great Royal Winter Fair.
The major Change in these regula-
tions is outlined in number one un-
der conditions of selection. The
statement to be submitted will be
quite elementary and in the case of
a field of grain will- sumply neces-
sitate keeping a record of the em-
ber of hours of labour for each opera-
tion, the amount of manure or fer-
tilizer applied, the amount of seed

Survey of Fruit Industry
.4. general survey of the trait in-
dustry of Canada is to be com-
menced at an early date with Dr.
3. F. Booth as commissioner, and
"Joe" Coke from. the economics de-
partment of 0. A. C., as his assis-
tant. Dr. Booth is asking the co-
opet•aticn of all interested in finding
out the exact facts regarding the
fruit industry. Both the Canadian
Horticultural Council and .the all -
Canada Agricultural Conference have
asked for such an investigation of
costs and methods.
Makes Good in Canada
Hearken to the' story of Charles
London, of Peel County, another
British immigrant who has nuacle
good on a Canadian farm: "Canada
has been good to me. When ten
years of age I went into service in
England es chore boy, and remained
with one man for 21 years. Seeing
n'o prospect for much advancement
I came to Canada and was in the
employ of 'one man for •three years.

FASCINATING LINKS IN CANA-
DIAN HISTORY
Many of the interesting relics at
the Dominion Archives in Ottawa are
gifts but there are also a number of
articles which have beets purchased
because of. their intrinsic historical
value and one of these is in the Can-
adian Room its a case devoted to In-
dian relics and is a medal. It is at
least six inches long and five inches
wide and is made of dull silver. The
engraving on it is exquisitely done
and is presumably of the figure of
WCashingten receiving the pipe of
peace from an Indian Chief. in-
scribed is: George Washington, pres-
ident, 1792.
The medal was presented by
George Washington, the first presi-
dent of the United States, to Chief
Ojagette (Fish Carrier) of the Cay-
uga Indians. According to tradition
the medal was hang around the
chief's neck by Washington.
DANGER OF WEED SEED
With a considerable portion of
last year's big red clover erop still
in the farmer's hand there is
a graver 'risk than usual of a serious
weed spread this season, govern-
ment officials fearing that a large
portion of this will find its way into
seed drills witbuttt proper cleaning.
Weed seeds in a bin : of doter or
grain are not conspicuous and obd
can easily be fooled. In fact 11 was
.recently estimated that in three cars
of oats shipped to. Saskatchewan
there were contained approximately
23,000,000 sow thistle weeds, The
government .seed labratories are the
proper place for testing your seed
and do so at infinitsimal nest.
