THE PUBLIC HEALTH The Ministry of Health in Eng- land publishes each year a very in- 'iesting and most readable report :A The State of the Public Health. We refer to this because it seems to be rather appropriate that, on Dom- inion Day, we should consider the state of the public health in Canada. We venture to predict, although it is sometitnes dangerous to prophesy that of all that will appear in our newspapers and in the public address See which will be made on the birth - (lay of the Dominion, little or no mention will be made • of the public health, This is not because the people are xtot interested in health, because we have evidence every day that they are. It is • rather because we are, in general, drawn to talk of material things, of natural resources, of manu- facturing plants and of increased 'wealth. The nation's most important concern is the public health, because the nation is made up of living per- sons, not of minerals or water -power. We are not . suggesting that health is an end in life. Health is the step- ping -stone by tep-•ping-stone:by .which we achieve more and serve better than we could, with- tout health. • Just as this is true of the individ- ual, it is equally so of the nation. The foundation for national prosper- ity andt Happiness is he health of those individuals who make up the nation. In order to succeed, Canada must be able to compete successfully with other nations, if not to exceed them. In order that she may do so, the Can- adian people must equal, if not ex- cel the people of other lands in phy- sical and mental fitness. It is ' be- cause we believe this goal can be at- tained that we have confidence in the future of our country. The lives and health of Canadian mothers must be protected. The child ,born in Canada must be safe- guarded so that he may be given his chance. We are not all born with the same capacity for physical and mental development. The country should provide each citizen with an opportunity for the full development of the capabilities with which he is born. In Canada we see many people suf- fering and dying from diseases which can be prevented. Our maternal death -rate is high, as is also our in- fant mortality in many places. Let there be less talk of what might be and more attention paid to the immediate problems of public health. No country can succeed un- less it trys to solve the problem of preventable sickness and death and the poverty and dependency which grow outof these. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the.Canadian Medical As- sociation,184 College Toronto, o , g St., will be answered personally by letter. FARM NEWS AND VIEWS Published by direction of Hon. Robt. Weir, Minister of Agri- culture, Ottawa, 1931 A Growing Industry The increasing demand for vege- tables in the diet is probably largely responsible for the rapid expansion which took place last year in the 'Ttesegetable canning industry through- <ut Canada, The increase in 1930 was 64.8 per cent. as compared with 1929. Total production amounted to 10,066,614 cans.—Dept. of Agriculture Ottawa. A Guide in Fox Feeding Keeping in step with the seasonis the way to ensure best results in fox feeding, studies in this respect at the 'Experimental Fox Ranch of the Do- minion Department of Agriculture at Summerside, P.E.I., show. The re- port for 1928, 1929 and 1930 just is- sued states: "It is absolutely neces- sary that foxes should be fed in step -with the season. When the earth is -covered with green . vegetation foxes require that vegetation, or the essen- tials of it from animals that have re- recently been eating it; during the fall months when ripe vegetation is prevalent, foxes require the ripe veg- etation, In the late fall months 'when frost has destroyed vegetation and the prey of the foxes is in good condition, foxes require a high meat ration. When the prey of the foxes is in .poor condition and the vixen and her prey are often snowed in, foxes do not require a large amount of food." Export Enterprise There is food for thought for the Canadian farmer in the recent arrival in the Canadian market of "tinned hams" from Denmark. When it comes to marketing its production, or over -production if you prefer, the little Kingdom of Denmark sats a pace which is hard to beat. Not on- ly do they market their product in all.! the usual forms, maintaining the do- minant position in the British mar- ket, but they are now processing their finest cuts, packing them attractively and making a strong bid for the larg- er consuming centres in our Canad- ian market. Canadian farmers should find an incentive to opportunity in the situation. A study of the :funda- tnentaI principles underlying Danish methods might hold much of useful interest. Weaning the Litter Natural weaning gives best results with a litter of young pigs, and to obtain this, feed suitable for young. pigs should be provided in the creep. A good mixture for the purpose is a half and. half combination of mid- dlings and finely ground oats from YDRO LAMPS "The Long Life Lamps" eff 1pi. s.i . red for �Hy ro 5 ry ce and Oeuararateed Neva Carlon of Sr .camps In the House Wingbam Otilities Commission 7 moy� Phone���e Crawk rrd Block. look 4. 144 LA6dit.

Iced' Water Best Studies in keeping cream • sweet. made by the Dairy and Cold' Storage Branch of the Dominion Department of .Agriculture, show conclusively that iced water not only; keeps cream. better than when it is placed in a refrigerator but that it takes consid- erably less ice. The reason for this lies in the fact that the iced water, being a better conductor than the cold air of the refrigerator, cools the the cream more quickly. Fooling Jack Frost The farmer doesn't very often get a chance to fool Jack Frost, especial- ly on a soft crop like tomatoes, but experimental work at Morden, Man., by the Dominion Department of Ag- riculture shows conclusively that this can be done. With the advance of the season tomatoes ripen more slowly and the use of ethylene gas speeds up the process from late Au- gust on. Fruit in danger of frost damage can be picked and quickly ripenecl by the use of this gas. Milk A Bone Builder Scientific research findsanother good reason for the liberal ` use of milk, especially in the diet of the' growing child, and that is in its cap- acity as a bone builder. The human body contains more calciumthan it does any other mineral, and the best and cheapest source of supply is milk, Dietitic experts s assert that a quart of mill. daily ensures the grow- ing child of the best storage of cal- cium for the manufacture of bones and teeth. It is equivalent in cal- cium content to 10 large oranges, 10 large helpings of cauliflower, 24 help- ings of carrots, 32 eggs, or 20 pounds of beef.—Dept. of Agriculture, Ot- tawa. Make Sure of Quality by Government Grades There could be no more exacting test of the real value.` of government grading than that applied by the cat- ering service of the Canadian Pacific Steamship Supply Service. Catering to the most exacting demands of the Highly discriminating travelling pub- lic is no easy job, but F. C. Hessler, Catering Superintendent, is unstinted in hi,,praise of the value and con- venience afforded by official .govern- ment grades for quality which now apply to a wide range of products. "We buy only 'red brand—`Choice' beef for our ships,".. he states, "and in the same way only 'fresh extra eggs; the `milk -fed' grades "Special" ties from the upper room. Asked and "A" in poultry; "No. 1. Pasteur-1him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this ized" in butter; and in issuing calls time restore the kingdom to Israel? The results that We have .obtained would indicate that the reputation o f the foundation stock from which. the. offspring were produced would be a better guide in purchasing silver fox- es than the appearance of the foxes, desirable as that may be." Will Exhibit in Ruins Word has just been received by F. C. Elford, Dominion Poultry Hus- bandman, that the historic "Forum. Trajan", erected about A.D. 115-117, by the Emperor Hadrian, has been selected as the site for the housing. of exhibits at the forthcoming Fifth World's Poultry Congress in 1933. After 2,000 years these ruins are be- ing restored to something of their, original splendour and magnificence, There could be no better setting or a more apropriate occasion for the re- opening of this splendid market place of pre -Christian days than the next poultry congress with its wealth of international contacts and interests, A Popular Service There could be no better indication of the rapidly growing popularity of the Beef Grading Service of the Do- minion Department of Agriculture than the increase of over 70 per cent in the volume of beef graded for sale. throughout Canada' between April and May of this year, Only a little over a year in operation the Beef Grading Service graded and branded a total of 1,199,357 pounds of "red" and "blue" brand beef in April last, In May this total raised to 1,983,022 pounds, Of the May total 1,333,247 pounds graded "good" for branding "blue", and 649,775 pounds "choice" for the "red" brand, Figured by pro - winces show a rapidly increasing de- mand for government graded beef, particularly in Ontario and Quebec, ........._ ..... THE SUNDAY. SMOG LESSON' LESSON L—July 5th The Gift of the Holy Spirit.— Acts 1:6-14; 2: 1-47 Golden Text. Ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you; and ye shall be my wit- nesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the ut- termost part sof the earth.—Acts 1:8. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time.—Pentecost, fifty days after the passover, fell on Sunday, May 28, A.D. 30.

Luke refers tither to the meeting of the Eleven with the risen Lord in Jerusalem, probably in the upper room, of the Lord's supper, or to the conference on the Mount of Olives. to which Christ led the apos- for tenders for supplies of canned goods from Canadian manufacturers we specify the official government grades `Fancy' and `Choice'. These grades not only ensure reliable qual- ity, but their use proves a real aid in buying supplies." -Dept. of Agri- culture, Ottawa. Butter Export Resumes The . current mate:et report of the Dominion Dairy and Cold Storage Branch, gives information of signifi- cant interest to farmers and dairy- men in the volume of exports of but- ter oyerseas. Last year during the export period, May 1 to June 7, Can- ada exported: a total' of 937 packages of butter; this year (1931) for the same period exports totalled 26,012 packages. Exports for the week end- ing June -6 totalled. 14,672 packages, all but 381 of which went to the Bri- tish markets at London, Liveropool, Bristol, Cardiff, and Manchester. Ev- idently butter production in Canada has settled down to an export mar- ket basis which may in the long run prove a real 'benefit to Canadian far- mers. Judge Fdxes by Facts It is not always safe to judge by appearances, especially when buying silver foxes. Atleast that is the es- sential conclusion to be deducted from the recommendation in this respect contained In the repott of. the Dominion Experimental Pox Sta- tion at Sumtnersicle, ' P.E.I., just is- sued, It states: "It has been the getr-k eral practice of fax breeders_' in buy- ing breeding stock to make their pur- chases from the appearance of the foxes withodt a full 'study of their ancestry. It is our conclusion that this is not a reliable method by which to select silver foxesfor breeding stock„ The Department of Agrictil- tu.re, the Canadian National Live stock records, and the Canadian Nat- ional Silver 11 of Breeders' Associa- tion have, at great expense, built up a system of registration of the pedi- grees of the silver foxes of Oanada, Throughout the forty days since His resurrection Christ at various times had given them renewed instructions concerning the kingdom of God (Acts 1:4), and, only a moment before he had reminded them of "the promise of the Father" (Acts 1:5), which they had foolishly interpreted as relating to an earthly dominion, eagerly hop- ing for its speedy establishment. So hard was it for even the apostles to disabuse themselves of error.

The Saviour, in speaking; to the apos- ties of the end of all things, declared (Matt. 24:36), Of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only, If that great fact was withheld even from the Son of God, how could the apostles expect to know it? •Which the Father hath set within 1 -lis own authority. Thus when Peter inquired of the risen Lord about the future work and status of the apostle John, Christ answered sternly, "If I will that he tarry 'till I come, what is that to thee? follow me" (John 21:22,) But ye shall receive power, They wanted to know when the kingdom of heaven was to come; they were to receive power to bring in the king- dom of heaven. When the Holy Spirit is upon you. They asked for the coming of the kingdom of God in the world at large; they were bidden to expect the coming of the Holy Spirit in their individual lives. And ye shall be my witnesses. That is what the power of the Holy Spirit was to the for: it was to be used in bearing witness to Jesus Christ, for through that witness -bearing alone the kingdom of God could be estab- lished in the earth, This sentence is the key -note of the Book of Acts; in- deed, it is the summary of the Book, the Book in miniature.

Placement of 1,600,000 salmon fry and 1,000,000 trout has been made throughout different sections of Nova Scotia, a generous percentage of which went to the brooks and streams of Annapolis Valley.

This represents an increase of nearly $1,000,000 over the previous year. A combination of high speed at sea, special rail facilities at Quebec —including a tunnel under the fam- ous battlefields—and special trains to New York. and Chicago, will shorten the time between London and most Canadian and United States cities by from one and a half to two days.

And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken. up. He was in the act of blessing themwith uplifted hands when He rose intoe e h av nLuke 24:51). And a cloud received (Him out of their sight. This cloud of fire was the sign of God's presence in the Old Testa- ment, which had come back, after long disappearance, and on more than one occasion surrounded Christ (Mark 9: 7). FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT. And when the day of Pentecost was now come. As the passover. came too early for safe navigation, more Jews from the West came to Jerusalem at Pentecost than at the passover. They (the twelve apostles) were altogether . -in one place. "The disciples no doubt attended the tem- ple soon after dawn for the morning sacrifices and the offering of the first fruits, and then in a body all to- gether assembled at their own house, where they were sitting, i.e., which was their headquarters. This gath- ering would be for prayer and wor- ship, And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind. This was an ex- traordinary sound. It came sudden- ly; it came from heaven. And it fill- edall the house where they were sit- ting. The coming of God's spirit up- on a soul is no halfway blessing: it fills all the house, it touches every part and function of a life. And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire. The fire -like appearance, orig- inally one, broke up into tongues of flame, as it were, and distributed it- self among those assembled. And it sat upon each one of them. God ex- pects us to speak, and has provided an organ of effecitve speech. Where - ever and whenever He wants our wit- ness, the Spirit is ready to give the right word, and to clothe it with power. The day of Pentecost is in line with all the other days, and what God did then for the apostles and the holy women He will still do for us. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

Now there were dwelling at 'Jeri salem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. Probably, in: addition to the visitors, many relig- ious Jews from foreign parts were permanent residents in Jerusalem, for it was to the Jew a thing mucic. to be desired that he might die and, be buried near the Holy City. And when this sound was hears., the multitude carne together. The sound was the confused sound pro- duced by the disciples, spoken as one voice.
