residents of this place are ill with
the same disease. Dr, laird of Gan-

and if possible save the lives of those
who were stricken.
Outbreaks of diphtheria are'becom-
ing more rare in Ontario as there is
a toxoid now which immunizes peo-
ple from contracting this much dread-
ed disease.
In the cities and iiz other places
also, clinics have been set up where
people may go and receive this treat-
ment. The useh
of these clinics in
the larger cities has increased great-
ly in the last two years, and it is a
wonderful thing for :parents to know
that their children have been so treat-
ed and hat the chances of their con-
tracting this ailment are practically

the proof of the pudding is in the

successful and it would be a great
blessing if all children bad the chance

Christ's thoughtfulness for others..
Conte yeyourselves apart into a des-
ert place. Not a barren place, but
a deserted place, where there were
no 'cities or dwellings. And rest a
while. The apostles had just return-
ed from a difficult journey, on which
we may be sure they had been press-
ed constantly by -throngs of inquir-
ers after truth as well as by- those in
search of healing, and they were
weary in body and mind. For there
weremany coming and going. John
6:4 tells us that the Jews', great ,feast,
the Passover; was at hand, and all
roads would be full of pilgrims go-
ing tip to Jerusalem as commanded
by the law. And they had nd leisure
eo :ntich as to eat, Their, only chance
for rest was to go where there were
no people.
And they went away in the 'boat.,
Perhaps Peter's fishing boat, so often
used, To a desert place apart, Our
Lord was evidently fond of the
clerness, and often spent a whole
night in some such solitary place,
communing with his Father and gain -
leg power from the Holy Spirit.
And the people saw them going,
and many know them, and they ran
together there on foot, from all the
cities and outwent thein. The crowd
conte, as John 6:2 tells us, because
they wanted to see Christ work more
miracles of healing, either out of cur-
iosity, or fat their own sakes or the
cure of their dear ones.

JESUS THE . BREAD OF LIFE.
And, he took , the five loaves and,
the two fishes.: Our little store of
possessions and talents is never mul-
tiplied until it is freely surrendered
and is taken up into Christ's hands.
And loking up to heaven, he -blessed,
and,brake the loaves. It was the
comon custom among the Jejvs for
the father of the family to ask God's
blessing on. each meal, and Christ
took the place of father to all that
multitude. Aird he gave to the dis-
ciples toset before them; and the
two fishes divided he among them all'
Some think that the increase of the
food took place only as it left the
hands of Christ, and that seems most
likely; others, that the food was mul-
tiplied as each disciple distributed it.
At any rate, the Lord, honored the
disciples by allowing them the work
of distribution, and in any event the
initial power of the miracle' came
from our Saviour alone.

News and Information
For the Busy Farmer
Some Facts About Honey
At the price at which it is avail-
able to -day honey is cheaper than
almost any of the 'more common ar-
ticles of diet. It is at once nature's
choicest sweet and her most complete
food; it contains carbohydrates in the
form of sugar and lime, iron, mag-
nesium and potash, and a certain am-
ount of protein; ,all of which are ne-
cessary for the nourishment of the
body. Because the sugars of Honey
are already inverted and directly av-
ailable for assimilation it is a quick
source of energy. It can be used as
a sweeteningagent in practically'ev-
ery instance where teane sugar and
cheaper syrups are used.
Protein in Rations
The importance of protein in live-
stock rations and their production on
the farm was a topic' recently dis-
cussed by j. C. Steckley, professor of
Animal Husbandry at the O. A. C.
Legume hay wasmentioned as an
important ingredient in a protein -
rich ration and of course such by-
products as cottonseen meal and lin-
seed oil meal were mentioned a's very
useful in gredients. Prof. Steckley
declared that soybean meal was prov-
ing to be a very useful and rich pro-
tein ingredient. It carries about 35
per cent. protein and for dairy cows
particularly it can be utilised appar-
ently up to 20 per cent. of the ra-
tion, He condemned it, however, as
it feed for hogs.:"Ground sweet ;clov
cr seed has also proved t'o be of
some use as a protein ingredient,, but
it is not highly palatable and can be
fed only 'sparingly.
The Apple Maggot
The apple maggot as a menace to
the industry evas thoroughly discuss-
ed at the 73rd annual meeting of the
Ontario Fruit Growers' Association.

Increasing Consumer Demand For
Government Graded Beef
A report to the Department re-
vcals that consunner-demand for gov
eminent graded beef, has been felt in
still
another quarter. The report
added the name ofa large •e Canadian
chain of stores, to the ever-increas
lug hist of organizations handling
graded beef, exclusively.
Another evidence of this consum-
er preference is the fact that, in the
Dominion, some twenty per cent.
more graded beef was sold last year,
than in 1931. The estimates for sales
in 1932 were approximately 21,748,-
768 pounds as compared with 17,947,
275 pounds for the previous year.
System Proves Efficient
The Restricted Areas system of
tuberculosis' control is not only prov-
ing efficient but stockmen appreciate
the many advantages of this plan of
control for tuberculosis. The cattle
in areas can be tested quickly and.
economically. Reactors can be ship-
ped in car lits with greater returns
to the farmer. All herds are tested
so that breeding operation are facil-
itated. The services of valuable herd
sires can be used in herds of equal
,health standing. A readymarket ;:is
established and buyers prefer to pur-
chase'cattle in areas where tubercu-
losis -free cattle may be . obtained
more quickly and at less travelling
cost.
During the past fiscal year 117,742
cattle have been tested for the first
time in new areas and approximately
321,427 cattle have been retested in
areas previously established.
The Farmer's Education
An outstanding Canadian author-
ity, discussing farming as a vocation
recently, included among the essen-
tial subjects in the educational pre-
paration for farin work, the follow-
ing: A thorough training in the use
of English; proficiency in mathemat-
ics; sufficient commercial training so
as to successfully carry 'on his busi-
ness; 'practical training, obtained on
the fartn; a study of agricultural .sci-
enee, • includingchemistry, ° physics,
botany, entomology, bacteriology,
and .a thorough knowledge of the
more practical subject's, such as hor-
ticulture, field crops, livestock, me -
thanks; and a practical working`
knowledge of economics and ` civics.
For the young : woman whose future
happinesswill be found on the farm
lie suggested special 'training in cul-
tural subjects, and in the work of
the lionie, such as cooking, sewing,
management and hygiene. Knowledge
is as necessary to success in farming
as in any other line of. business.
The Western Ntarket
At the annual meeting of, the, On-
tario Vegetable Growers in Toronto
considerable progress was reported in
opening "yup the Western market to
Ontario vegetables. , According' to W.
13, Somerset, chairman of the Ontar-
io Marketing Board, Westerners were
amazed at the :quality and quantity
of vegetailles that could be •grown in
Ontario and declared that if they
could get them regularly there -would
be no need for importing. Continu
ity of supply, better packing and ab-
ove all earliness were points-empha-
sized
oints-emphasized by H. E. Toms, Western rep-
resentative of the Ontario Growers'
Markets Council, He pointed out
than there was a good market for
early cabbage, possibly beets and car-
rots, a splendid demand for early to -
=toes, properly packed in lug crat-
es and, carefully: graded in a central
ware itemise, ample room for melons
in modern packages, but not the old
16 -quarte baskets, as well as solid-
headed.Iceburg lettuce and celery. In
quality the best of Ontario stuff was
superior to the imported variety, al-
though some of it did not look as
well. Westerners were satisfied' if.
they could get the right kind at the
right time, Mr. Tones warned the
growers, however, that unless the
outlet could be supplied regularly
and with good etuff, the greater por-
tion of the Western market would
be closed- to Ontario.
