'29: 12, 13. The• wise man in Proverbs says: "Whose stoppeth his earsat the cry of She pear, He also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard." It is the glory of Israel's ideal; king than "He shall judge the poor of the people, he shell save the children of the need Far he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; tl•.e poor' also, and him that hath no helper,"—Ps. 72: 4, 12, In his beatitudes our Lord does, not. f„rget'the merciful, Matt. 5: 7.

Such a labor of love God does not forget, Heb, 6: 10. L MINISTERING To RUMAN NEED, Matt. 25: 31-46. In mem passages of the gospels, Jesus seems clearly to be lookieg for his coming in great power and glory, and all the forces of heaven , ith him, to 'set up his kingdom inthe world, self-restraint, not 4eing double-mind- ed,'obedient to tbe perfect law of lib- erty." Pure religion and undefiled is not in wods only, but in deeds -espe- cially .ie_ deeds of kindness toward the poor and the afflicted, With the last, elause oe verse 27 compare Roni. 12: 2 and 1 John 6; 18. • Bo also faith, if it be real and living, declares itself in Chrittlike deeds. Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Such faith' is a mere pro- fession without reality. The faith by which men .are saved, according to the', teaching be Paul, is quite different. It is a vital relationship of ':trust and obedience to God as he is revealed in Jesus Christ, an experience out of which spring all good'works. Compare Matt. 7:'26; Rob1, 6: 1,.2'and 3: 28-31.

The story of the lawie.r's question r is told or 1 mem ab e answe and Jeeps' also, with slight vaiations,in Matthew 22: 34-40, and Mark :2: 28-34. Which is the great commandment in the law?; What shall I do to inherit eternal life? To the mind of the Jewish lawyer the two questions v.,uld not be widely dif- ferent. Eternal life, the life pleasing to God here, and the blessed life here- after, was to be gained, he believed, through strict observance of the law. But there were greater and lesser com- mandments, and he might well have thought that the greater in some cases would include the less, the law of hon- esty, for example,, covering specific commar-dments agamst theft or frond, and the law of truth incruded prohibi Farm Nates.

As the cold weather approaches nature provides the neces- sary protection by clothing the ante macs with a heavied coat of hair, _i Market Hog Fairs - Swine Club fairs and bacon hog fairs are doing much to improve the quality of hogs raised In the Prov- ince rovince of New Brunswick. During the season recently eloiaed seventeen swine club fabs and, two bacon hog fairs were held in the province. At these fairs 550 hogs of excellent type were brought into competition for prizes, and .More than eighty percent, of 'them, were sold co-operatively through the Maritime Livestock Mar- keting Board. These fairs also served a useful purpose in providing „improved breeding stook to districts not so highly favored in the quality of the pigs they are producing. From the' exhibits at the fairs there were selected out 160 young sows of good breeding and of good bacon type for return to the country as foundation for breeding herds. Swine Club fairs 'and Bacon Hog fairs were organized and operated by the co-operative action of the federal and provincial Departments of Agri-' culture, who not only arranged for the holding of the fairs, but provid- ed the prize money air the different classes. The Sr_e Club Pairs differ from the Bacon Hog active in that the latter are held in districts which are able' to provide at least a full car- load of commercial hogs for market through the fair. In addition to fea- turing the production of market stock on a fairly large scale these fairs have focussed interest on proii flea py in brood sows, thrift and vigor in., the offspring, ecenomy in produc• tion and ideal market weight and testi, A va'_:..able feature of the Swine Club' work is the encouragement; • given to members to make generous , use of pasture and green feed during, • the growing period of the hogs. The experience gained in this practice is New • not only teaching an important les- son in economy in swine raising, but also in showing the value of these feeds in, promoting the growth rather than. fattening during the early months of the pigs life. Ancestry in Herd Improvement In the improving of milking herds be the use of purebred sires it is not eufcient that pedigreed sires be used. It should be known with certainty that the sire is from high producing ancestry. At the Cap Rouge Experir mental Station it was found that daughters of good cows and purebred sires were giving less milk than their mothers had. given at the same age. In cases where this happened it is •explained by the Superintendent that. the ancestry of the sires bad not been observed in relation to milk produer tion. In his report for last year, pub- lished by the Department of Agrieuls tune at Ottawa, the Superintendent expresses the belief that nondescript cows may be improved by the use of The ministry, however, has_ definite ly rejected the suggestion pointing 'out that new bridges between Ne e tions of false swearing and covenant esormo wcc "Do you hike the roses • In my a registered sire, but when the berd cheeks?" has been built up in produotion It "No, never did care for artificial then becomes highly important that flowers." only sires from high producing dams be used.

Wintering Horses in Open Sheds Open sheds facing the souta have been proved to provide suitable hous- ing for idle bosses and growing colts at the Cap Rouge, Quebec, Experi- mental Station. Although weanlings and horses up to twenty years of age have thus been wintered for the past sixteen years none of the animals have suffered, but on the other hand they have shown ruggedness and vit- ality. Mr. Langelier, the Superintend• ant of the Station in his report for last year published by the Depart- ment of Agriculture at Ottawa points out teat foals dropped later than June as well as sick or ,weak animals : should not be subjected to shed Whirl tering, bat stabled in comfortable houses, Both young stock, and older ani- mals to be wintered in open sheds as1 recommended should not be housed later than tee beginning of• Septem, bar. 13y adopting this practice na- ture prepares the animals for the colder weather by providing the necessary coat of hair, • The sheds were single boarded structures closed on the north, east and west sides with walls sufficient- ly tight to keep out draughts. Fertilizers for Potatoes In the growing of potatoes On farms where stable manure is not plentiful commercial fertilizers of proper mix- tures may be used with advantage. To demonstate the value of commer- cial fertilizers when used singly and with manure potato fields on a num- ber of the Illustration Stations oper- ated by the Department of Agricul- ture at Ottawa were treated in differ- ent ways, side by side, with a Section receiving 20 tons of farmyard man- ure to the acre. Other plots of sim1 lar land were teated with 10 tons of the manure, and 750 pounds of the fertilizer, and a third plot with 1500 pounds of chemical fertilizer and a fourth plot was left unfertilized. The fertilizer used was one made up of four' parts each of nitrogen and pot -i asb, and eight parts of phosphoric acid. These demonstrations were carried , on for three years at eleven stations in Nova Scotia,,The threo-pear aver -I age yields wee, from the farmyard manure plot 196 bushels to the acre, from the plots receiving manure and' • fertilizer 234 bushels to the acre. The plots receiving only the com- mercial fertilizer yielded 225 bushels to, the acre, while the unfertilized plots gave less than 100 bushels, From these tests it was shown that the greatest gains were obtained on the plots where both manure and chemical fertilizers were used. To arrive at the value of those fertilizers it was calculated that 55 per cent. of the cost of the fertilizer was charged to the potato crop and 45 per cent, to succeeding crops, On this basis it was found that the incased yield ebst $9.73 per acre or on a bushel basis less than 8 cents, Commenting on this demonstration Mr. J. C. itloynan, Chief Supervisor of the Illustration Stations says in his report for 1928 that under practical farm conditions it world appear that soils low in fertility can be restored to a •profitable basis by the limited use of a chemical fertilizer. to supple- ment the necessary amount of plant food which cannot be supplied by farmyard manure. -Issued by the Director of Publicity, Dom.

Britain's Traffic Laws Face Change Speed Limits For Private Cars Likely to be Abolished London—A movement is underway to speed up Britain's traffic by abolish, ing speed limits for private automo- biles and extending the speed limit for buses. It was learned from reliable authr ority that the new road traffic bill, whidh is expected to be introduced in the House of Lords will - seek to r' abolish all speed limits for private automobiles and extend the present speed limit of 12 miles per hour for buses to 300 miles per hour. The Present private automobile limit is 20 miles per hour. The present laws have been in ef- fect for years and 'although they have been broken freely in most cities, they still provide a welcome source of revenue to isolated communities through means of speed traps.

And with any' naval War that the Italian and the French autho_ities have to contemp- late, they are set in a situation which their surface ships may be ineffective. neither battle -fleet could hope, for ex- ample, to challenge the British or American; the submarine is their one. resort. It seems fairly obvious then, that in asking them to give up the weapon, we are asking for something that would be greatly to our advantage,' and not at all to theirs: said the very term of the suggestion implied that neither 11'Ir. MacDonald nor al'ir. Hoo- ver expected that it would be accept- able. Why then, did tlaey offer it at all? It is difficult not to believe, and it will be more difficult for a Freniclnnatie or a Japanese or an Italian not to believe, that there was a deliberate, intention to force them to a public refusal. But whether it was deliberately done or not, the effects will be equally bad'. To the English and American public,. France and Italy and Japan will ap- pear as the obstacles to a general dis- armament—for we need not expect that their ease for the submarine will be fairly stated by our Press—andl America and Britain will seem the: only true .friends of the Cause. And n further and graver effect will rise from this attitude, and from the neces- sity aP that has been imposed ed on theca. o Powers of making common cause in the controverey; the already visible movement towards an anti -Angle - American bloc will be quickened, The raising of the submari.ze matter was, at the best, a useless and foolish gesture; it may have been the Meow- ing of a spanner into the machinery of international relations. — Gat:es Weekly, A Danger to Canada Lmtclon Morning Post; The subsi- dized dumping of German wheat in the British market affects Canada no less then the .Bother Country.
