"After he has • gathered his crop there- is abs•,,rutely nothing for hint to do until the follow - lag. spring. .Because of this we find the average westerner leaving his holdings and wintering at the aoase or in Califor- nia. l think if he could be induced to take up the feeding of cattle in the stalls and the. raising of hogs, that it would be a blessing to him anti to the great plains cenritry its well." "Years ago," said Mr. 'tl'ayte "south- ern Alberta was one vast grazing coun- try. Countless herds ranged there. To- day the great bu!k of that ]and has been tranefc,rnted into wheat lands.

London, May 30.—The problem al- ready has beentaken up of creating the Duke of Cornwall, the heir apparent, Prince o£ Fifales. That title in due ' tinge must be con- ferred on the eldest son of King George, who is now sixteen years old, even though, as reported in the Herald, the Duke of Connaught be kept as regent to represent the Prince at public tune - ft is contended now that the investi- tare of the young Duke with the title of Prince of Wales should be the stately and sytnbalic ceremony of old times. To the gift of a ring, which is the most symbolic ceremony by which Harry of Monmouth created the first Prince of Wales, it is insisted,tbat'there should be added the golden torques, which distin- guished the princes of tho ancient Celts. The eeremony would be performed by the Archdruid, in frill gorsedd, for it is held that it should never be forgotten that the Inc] would be Prince of Wales even as his lather would be King of the Tudors by virtue of bis descent from Harry Tudor, born and bred a Welsh- man, Xing of England by right of vic- tory over the last King of the stranger PRINCE EDWARD, Who will soon be Created Prince of Walesa race of Normans on the slopes of Bos- worth Field.

'Vittoria., B.C., May 30.—Details of the disastrous fire at Aomori, North Japan, in which one hundred persons were burn- ed to death and 8,000 of the town's 11,- 900 buildings were razed, with loss of $2,000,000, were received by the steamer Inaba Mare. The burned area covered one and three -sevenths' miles long and a quarter mile broad. Thirty thousand homeless were gather- ed in refuge camps. Great suffering followed the fire, and supplies of rice brought were eaten raw by the ravenous people. A store of powder exploded and shook the whole area soon after the fire was extinguished. -o DOW DO YOU JUDGE A DAIRY COW ? Dominion Department of Agriculture; Office of the Dairy and Cold Storage Commissioner. A dairy cow is often judged by the scale of points of the breed. to which she belongs. Another method is to rate her according to her general appearance and the external indications of milking powers. Appearances are somewhat de- ceitful r Recently- a farmer near O_ms- town,''Que., sold five cows at $23 each, saying they were no good as dairy cows. The purchaser found to his great satis- faction that one gave him 10,000 lbs. milk, and another 13.0:10 lbs. Sometimes a cow is valued because she is easy to keep, or she is a docile family pet. Com- ing nearer to the practical test, a fann- er may judge his best cow to be the one that daily gives a couple of pails full of milk in June; though she may quick- ly decrease in flow, the remembrance of that big yield sticks in her owner's mind• and she is undeservedly ranked too high. Or sloe may have earned a wide local • reputation just by one isolated test for fat, very likely higher than normal. On the other hand, a cow that gives only a mbderate yield, but attends strictly to business for a reasonably long milk- ing period, will probably prove the most valuable. Again, there may be some general idea of production, but totals that are only estimated are generally in excess of the actual yiald. 15 The positive proof of vale is certainty of the cow's ability to produce milk and fat economically; the generous - minded, unselfish, real dairy cow, inde- pendent of strikes and lockouts, works full time, and returns a handsome mar- gin of profit above the computed cost of feed. The one infallible test is a re- cord of the production of each cow for the full period of lactation. Don't aver- age up the herd; ascertain ethat eaeh cow is a specialist. C. F. W. DEFINITE GAINS FROM COW TESTING Mr. A. W. Raine of Dewdney, B. C., writes as follows: "When we joined the cow testing association in 1908 we had 21 cows, aged between 4 and 7 years, with an average yield of 6,800 pounds milk. In 1900 our 21 cows averaged 8,360 pounds of milk. We have 16 pure brevis and 5 Grade Holsteins. I would not think of stopping weighing and testing our milk as I feel satisfied that if a dairyman looks well to the sire of his herd, and weighs and tests, his herd is bound to improve, and the hired men take more interest in their work. We oommeneed dairying 8 years ago with the intention of bringing our cows up to an average of 6,000 pounds milk each, which we did in about 5 years." Such statements as the foregoing should prove inspiring to every dairy. man. A fairly high standard of 6,000 pounds milk was reached in 5 years, and an increase of 23 per cent. has been added to that. Mr. Heinewill pro- bably be up to 10,000 pounds per cow soon. That is one particularly interest- ing feature of cow testing, ideals are realized, then those still higher are sought for, again with satisfactory re- sults. What excellent herds could be de- veloped if dairymen all over the Dom- inion would take up cow testing in real earnest.—C. F. W. RESB TERME Meeting of General Assembly in Rai. ifax Next Month, Question of Church Union --How the Funds Stand, • r Halifax, N.S., despatch: After a lapse of ten years the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada will again meet in Halifax on June 1st. The last meeting of the General Assembly in Nova Scotia was in 1900, when Hali- fax. ivas the scene of the deliberations. I•tev. Dr. Forrest, president of Dalhou- sie University, is mentioned as a eandi- date for the position of moderator of the assembly.. Prominent among those who are ex- pected to attend the assembly are: Rev. Mr. Gandier, of Toronto; Rev. Dr, Rob- ert Campbell, of Montreal; Rev. Samuel Lyle, of Hamilton, the retiring:: modera- tor; Rev. Jail. Dobson and 1•tev. A. J. Mowatt, of Montreal. Negotiations have been going on for several years between the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational commun- ions looking to a union of their forces, and it is hoped that an epoch -marking decision will be reached so far as the Presbyterian body is concerned, at the approaching assembly. This will not be accomplished without a stout resistance on the part of a sec- tion of the ministerial body which is op- posed to the step. There are several prominent men who do not view the matter in the same light as others and there is naturally some divergence of opinion among the laity on the subject. The report of the onion Committee is to be discussed and the debate will be a memorable one. It may be of interest to note in pegg- ing that the ?lumber of places under the jurisdiction of the assembly from which the gospel is proclaimed and taught, throughout the Dominion, is close on to 4,000, the actual figures for the past year being 3,924, which was an increase of 97 over the preceding year. The number of families represented at these meeting places is 138.374, while the communicants number approximate- ly 270,000. Chureh property represents a value of close to $17,500.000, on which there is a debt of less than $2,500,000. For the various schemes of the church throughout the world it is expected that this year the total amount raised will be close to the $500,000 mark. It has been increasing steadily each year, the total for last year being $420,152, which was an increase of nearly $50,000 over the preceding year's returns. The largest sum raised by the•differ- ent presbyteries was for home mission§. which varies in amount from $139.293 last year to $143,509 for the preceding year, the latest returns available rep- reesnting the only decrease of the vari- ous Rehemes. Foreign missions take second rank with about $I25,000 raised. p + NURSES FOR CAMP Army Nursing Reserve Corps Organ- ized For Canada. Toronto despatch; His Honor the Lieutenant -Governor, accompanied by a small procession of gentlemen, arrived yesterday morning in the midst of the deliberations of the nurses' convention at the Residence of the Children's Hos- pital, to forward the scheme of the Army Nursing Reserve. His Honor spoke of the urgent need of the services of nurses in time of war, and of II. R. V. Princess Christian's untiring efforts to put the nursing department of the army on a sound and practical basis in the mother country. His Honor then introduced Lieuten- ant-Colonel Jones, of Ottawa, who said before the meeting the scheme of the Army Nursing Reserve, Colonel Jones then went on to show now, without organization in Canada, the nursing profession could not rope with the situation in time of war, and such heartrending situations as were mot fifty years ago in the warebetween the Northern and Southern ,States must inevitably oocur. We were exactly in the position that the Southern States were at that time. The demonstrator of the need of nurses actually in the field was still alive, the most honored of Ji,nglish- women, Florence Nightingale. An Im- perial Nursing Corps had been formed in Britain, with Queen Alexandra as itis patron, and to supplement this the Army Nursing Reserve was designed..4. number of civilian nurses enter into an agreement with' the army nurses.to sup- plement their services in case 'of war. The movement had. • extended .to South Africa and Australia. There' Was' new in Canada a nursing service which was small. For the fi.ret time in the history of Canadian militia, nurses woalcd go.in- to camp .this . year. At the present time there was a class of nurses at Halifax undergoing military training. It was moved that a society bo organ- ized which would undertake to provide an Army Nursing Reserve service for the Dominion of Canada.
