Fire broke out about two 'o'clock Sunday morning in Turyey's bake- shop, believed to have started from an overheated oven.

When with the use of suitable chemicals they can he cenvented into manure the question, "Why burn straw stacks?" is really pertinent, 'Straw is worth something more than as a bedding material, and not the least valuable is its use for the mak- ing of artificial manure. The use of 1100 lbs. Of lime to each ton of straw and this thoroughly soaked with watl er produces a manure Of distinct fer- tilizer value. From three to six 'months are required for the organic changes to become effective and the resultant substance has much of the appearance and practically the same value as barnyard' manure. Keep Mangers Clean. An inspection of the mangers of stables when caws are not doing well rnight go a long way toward finding out the cause of trouble. Sani- tation in mangers and the drinking supply is in many cases very poor. When cows don't drink as much water as they should, or leave a cer- tain amount of meal in the bottom of the mangers, the trouble may gen- erally be laid to the door of poot sanitation. An inspection of mangers and drinfleing cups would probably show that the cups ;had become foul- ed with chaff and spoiled silage, and when left for even a d'ay the water is filthy, St is reasonalble that cows will not drink freely of this water. Any- where from a quarter of an inch of hard accumulated filth can sometimes be scraped out of the manger. It his a stench which makes the animal quit eating long before it lees had enough. Drinking bowls and mangers s,hould be kept cleats if the cattle are to 41011.1,10h, --- Barley SmotherMustard. lExpeHmental work carried out at the Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, ,shows 'conclusively that barley can be used most effectively in smoth- ering out mustard, It has been found that barley sown at the rate of 3 bush- els per acre is most .effective for this purpose. Incidentally, it is also shown that heavier seeding produces a higher yield of grain per acre. Dairy Problems, ' The ealution to the ,question of de- moralized returns • from the dairy business, according to George H. Barr, Director Of the Dairy Branch, is not, more cows, but better .cows through improved ,feeding and breeding, "Better cows mean econ- conical production. By this 1 Mean Shat, in many cases, I have found dairymen feeding, ten cows where ffive animals should be sufficient to produce the 'same amount of milk, providing, of course, that these five cows have been properly 'bred, and are being fed in the innet approved way. "'Losses due to poor ,breeding and innproger feeding, in addition to care- less handling of milk and cream 'have assumed almost staggeding propor- tions. Daring the year 1932 more than 20,000000 pounds of second-grade creamery butter was produced in On- tario. The difie,rence in return's be- tween first ancl second' grade cream is apiproximately three cents 'per pound 'butterfat, hence the direct loss from this source alone Was about $600,000. "Another loss due to the Same causes," •continued Mr. •B,ara. "was sustained in the cheese business last year. Some 34,000 Cheese, produced in this Province, were `second grade. At a loss of one dollar on each Cheese, this represents a total of $34,000. "'In general, flavor and mechanical defects in cheese produced in Ontario are showing a decided •decrease each year. During ,19312 we produced 'cheese in greater quantities, and of a dis- tinctly higher quality than ever be- fore, Notwithstanding this fact, the reburies to d,airymen were lees, due to depressed prices. "That certain sections olf the coun- try are making greater efforts than othens, is indicated by- the fact that the total percentage of cheese 'pro- daced under first grade, in one dis- trict of Ontario , Was eight times greater than the percentage produced in anoeher district of .the Province. (Putting it another way, in one dis- trict 2611 cheese were under first grade. In another district of equal size, over 2,,o0o were belaw first grade." [In conclusion, Mr. Barr said: "If the dairyman would stop the leaks in his business over which he has en- tire control, the return's to dairy farmers of this Province would be very mach greater than at the pres- ent time. Proper .breeding and feeding of dairy herds for five years would change the dairy herds in Ontario horn, in •meny cases, no profit at all, to at least a peeing basis." According to a cable from Lan - .don, rive United Kingdom apple markets are showing a somewhat .better feeling following the • usual holiday lull and prices have strength- ened somewhat for limited sales of ibanrelled and boxed varieties on some marleets, particularly lLiverp,00l. With supplies 4comparatively shoat, there is an improved demand and Ontario ap- ples are moving a little better en thle London market. Clean Nests, Clean Eggs It takes Ives time to place clean straw in the nests then it takes to clean eggs, Sante eggs wilt become dir•ty in spite of the best of care, 'but bhe egg cleaning work is greatly re- duced if the 4n:eats ,are cleaned at egg gathering time When ,dirt is noticed and a little clean straw is added once or twice each week. This is a goold early morning tiob before the hens start using the nests. Iif you have no straw stack, keep a bat of straw in each laying house so that a measure af the loose straw can be worked sap and added by handfuls to any nests where the boards are becoming bare or the straw is ,soiled. CrAte-Feeding Pays. Farmers Who are4in a position - to follow- the practice,4'find that crate - feeding of their poultry pays them big dividends. There are several. rea- sons f or, this. It produces the milk - fed grades whioh 'bring the highest prices; the leading •wholesale ,merch- ants are now buying 'poultry by (Gov- ertement grades ,with substantial dif- ferentials between each grade; the premium assured for birds ,which grade "minded" makes crateefeeding worth while; andall poultry intend- ed for eating purposes shcnutd be pro- perly finished before being marketed. The farmer who has -poultry to mar- ket would do well to 'rementber that it is the last pound Which brings the finish and increases the value of the bind 'by 50 to 75 cents. Pigs Need Fibre Winter fed maeket pigs and breed- ing stock relish a little fibrous Mat- ter to chew, and they need it regu- larly. They will eat straw if nothing 'better is available. It is easy, h,aw- ever, to give them something bietter, such as second cut .clover or alfalfa and other well -cured 'graas or cereal crop sthat have been .cut .green. The 'feeding Of a few mongols front day to day, as is well known, has very dee sirable effects; The important thingis to see that ail pigs except the very young, get some form of vegetable matter. regularly. The results Obtained from this practice will amply, repay the cost involved ip the emelt quan- tity of fibrous feeds used. ' THE STORY OF PAUL C A M. Fant a. In spite of allhilsphysleat handcl- aps, Paul hegu.ired a vast amount of <nowleclige—anoatly under Gantt nel. The foundation was laid in the sYna- gogue and schools of Tarsus, but the deep, first foundation was well and truly laid at home—a strict Pharisee home. The Pharisees were the ,Progres- sives of that clay. The ,Sadducees were the tonservatives. The 'S'acldUcees, For instance, did not believe in the Resur- rection. They said, "It is not so writ- ten is the law, therefore we do not believe." But the Pharisees admitted new ideas as they came, and tried to adapt the !NW' to new conditions. They took the "law" and the "traditions" (we would call the traditions by the name 'commentaries% and built up a• mode of thought ands action, which they claimed to be the ideal for every real Jew. Peurs, people in 'Tarsus came in touch with many of these ndw ideas,—adapting some. INow, Gamealiel was a ,Pharisee, too. In Gamaliers School in Jerusalem !Paul met the Sons Of fhe Pharisees, some brilliant minds. They also had new ideas, some of which Gamaliel thought to be a bit advanced. But Ise was a kindly teacher, and concluded that they could consider the stoke- ments of new ideas, then wait till they were seasoned before they ac- cepted them. He would say to his class, "If it be the Truth we cannot stop it,—if it be false it will ctie. Let us watt and see." ISame of his pupils did not take very kindly to the "watchful waiting" of Game:Bel. We know that his fel- low mentbe,rs in the Sanhedrin did not listen. to that kind .of advice re :Jesus. And the teaching of Jesus was just one of the many new ideas which were being taught by religious teeth- ers everyWhere. Same were fanatics, —some revolutionists. But Jesus? When it was suggested to 'wait a while,' the less progressive of the Pharisees made an alliance with the comerv'altive Sadducees . . . and Jesus was crucified.' • The death of Jesus seemed only to make his teaching spread. And in Jess than two months many Priests and rabbis were followers bf YeSqlS. I'n the Sanhedrin there were f011owers of Jesus. In Gardeners sehool ,there were same. In ,the synagogues...around Jerusalem the people were talking about the new ideas of the ,Prophet of 'Nazareth who had been .crucified. lEsbeCially in the synagogues of the Colonial Jews. Paul was a Colonial and' along with many more from the Universities of Tarsus, and Alexan- dria, and Cyrene, aied Athena, he met in the big "Union Synagogue" for discussion. The Ocdoniale soon divid- ed. They wene mostly ,Progressive but with this new teaching they became Radieals and Reactionaries. Paul was leading bhe Reactionary group. Ste- phen was spokesman for the Radicals. It became a daily occurence to hear a heated ddb'ate in the big synlagogue. ,The Colonials were the first to cateh the significance of Jesus' aeath- ing. lif His teaching were followed, ritual would be unnecessary, sacrifice at the Temple unnecessary. The only sacrifice would be the sacrifice of self in the service of a world wide brother- hood movement.. The Radicals said "Why ndt?". The idea was accepta'ble to great multitudes. But the Reac- tionaries SOW that the Temple would be dreetrayed by dieu,se. Neither in Jerusalem not' any other place would God be worshipped. God is Sp'irlt . weeshipped in spirit and sinter- lty. And the Reactionaries wanted to save the ritual and the .Temple! Paul and Stephen argued. Stephen proved his point day atter day—Baul and his Reactiormaies determined to win,—if not by debate, thenby sotne other means . , • That other means proved bo be a mob mender— a lynchling—and Pilate the Roman governor was net even 'coasulted. Nor did he d are to interfere, He wes afraid of the Jews. 4. Paul never forgot that experien.ce, He stood by as his Reactionaries heaped stone's upon the man whose only offence was that he woe in the debate! The prayer of that dying tn,an never left his ears.' 'Dhe face of the dying man was never blotted out from his memory! And the vision of Ste- phen Wigs very soon to be the vision of Paull iBut having begun his work he would not give up now.
