After you have been away from your'' own country for a time what a joy has been yours as you have felt that you have stepped again on Can- adian soil. The same, of course is true of natives of other countries There is something radically wrong with the person whose heart does not jmnp with joy when they cross the border line into their own land. It is much the same feeling one has when they have 'been away from their home and loved ones and then after some years they return. A feelipg comes over one which they cannot express; a feeling of complete satis- faction, a feeling that their last want has been supplied. As they sit down to a dinner prepared by mother with things for which they hale longed they feel that God has indeed been good to them. This brings us to the chief point of our loyalty. If an earthly friend were to die for'11s, we would feel that we, no matter what we -did, could never repay them. Yet there are so many of us, who know perfectly well that Jesus Christ gave his life not for His friends but for His enemies gnd yet when He offers us Salvation, free and without price, yet we will not accept His offer. \re cannot eonpre- bend what joy would be ours if we would take Hint as our Saviour.

Just as soon as the winds pipe a little higher, men- folk (especially) praise a hot neat pie. And we homemakers should smile because its a splendid way to use those ends from the small roast.

Harold McPhillips, prices and supply repre- sentative for the Western Ontario re- gion, pointed out that while foods costs had increased some 31 per cent since the outbreak of tine war, toad is approximately one third of the av- erage Canadian's budget.

For this purpose many farmers feed their pigs skim milk and buttermilk, but other farmers with no milk for feeding mix 12 pounds of concentrate in every 100 pounds of the grain ration. If hog producers were to increase the protein supplement from 12 to 24 pounds, the pig might not grow any faster than when it was getting a normal amount of protein. Farmers should use carefully high protein supplements of all kinds. Thar necessarily large amounts of colleen., trates have been fed on some farms tq pigs which could get along without it. Supplies of commercial . protein feeds are limited and it is only by using these feeds and dairy by -pro - duets in the way to do most good that the large number of pigs required can be raised successfully and cheer ly A good protein supplement is a body builder. Adequate amounts of protein should be fed to young pigs if their growth is to be normal, but any additional' amount over that re- quired to give a young piggrowth is wasted. A young pig uses excess pro- tein only for roteinonlyfor energy or fattening. Far- mers agree that there are cheaper ways of putting fat on a pig than by laying out money for protein supple- ments. Proteins are necessary for young pigs, and pregnant or nursing sows. But when a pig reaches 100 pounds, it will make reasonably good growth on feed grains alone. By limiting pro- tein supplements to young pigs, more hogs can be raised on the same amount of purchased supplements. Weight Bin of Grain To find the weight of grain in a bin, • first ascertain the cubical contents of the bin (by multiplying the length by the depth by the breadth), and the weight of one bushel of the particular grain (32 quarts). As one cubic foot measures almost 25 quarts, the weight of one cubic foot will be 25-32nds of the weight of one bushel. Thus one bushel oats weighs 34 lbs. One cubie foot of oats equals 25-32nds of 34 lbs. or 26 1-2 lb. V • A heavy tin of canned heat—a Jap souvenir from Kiska — has been brought back to Elmira, Ontario, by Sgt.

NO PIELD of photographic subiect matter is more challenging or appealing than flowers. Every blos- som is in itself a picture. Every garden a veritable paradise for the photographer. And no matter what kind of camera you own, you can make the most of it. Naturally, if you own a focusing type of camera with an anastigntat lens you'll find such pictorial work. easier than if you possess one of the simpler outfits. But box cameras and fixed -focus folding cameras can be used if a portrait attachment -is employed for elose•ups. Here are a few hints on flower pietme technique. The best time for Warne malting is In early morning or late afternoon when sunlight is soft, The midday 10111 produces ex- cessively harsh lighting. Simple re - floaters of white cloth, paper or cardboard may be used to reflect light onto the shadolt side of a flower when the lighting is too con - treaty. Cardboard's -white, gray, or black—may be used behind the bloom to provide satisfactory back- grounds, The picture of the lily pre- sented here was made by that means. Plower close-ups have much more appeal than shots made at greater distances. The more detail visible, the better. Either use a portrait attachment on your camera—if it won't focus for close-ups—or plan on having your picture enlarged after judicious masking on the negative. Correct exposure is essential in all flower pictures. Take ears not to overexpose white or light -tinted flowers; watch out ,for under- exposure with dark blossoms. Use a panchromatic film for bright - colored flowers, and develop for line grain if you plan to make enlarge- ments. Finally, remember that the sim- plest compositions are best. Don't try to take in too much at one time. Remember this too -a dozen roses are more difficult to handle in a: picture than just a single perfect Rower. Sohn van Guilder
