royal coup e participated took the

followed b a visit to the Guildhall,

"This This anniversary tsarY
falls s at atime
when the shadow of war lies heavily
on the land and when the very ex-

Good growing- weather after middle of

small area where more rain is needed,
progressed very, favorably. While
conditions have not been ideal, an av-
erage crop over a very large portion
of the province is assured. Hay, how-

of Statistics as follows:

Grain and potatoes are well up to'the
average. Frost on °20th and list

Nova Scotia (Kent,ilie) Jim has been
cool and very dry. Frost on the 21st

FROM DAIRY TO VEAL . RAISING
. The help scarcity is no doubt af-
fecting, the dairy cow-keepers's busi-
ness very considerably, but not al-
ways adversely, if one may judge by
the satisfaction expressed recently
by a farmer from near Toronto, who
is making a decided success of pro-
ducing veal. Being well located as
regards the ,proximity of his farm
to the stock yards this young man,
who has a herd of 23 _ milch cows
has given " -up hand -milking earnest.
entirely, and instead, makes a visit
every week or oftener to the market
to, sell veal calves and buy younger
ones to take their place in doing
the milking of his cows. This busi-
ness he claims pays well in his case,
and his ideas of paying well are
established on comparison of this
present method wth that which he
previously followed, of selling. milk.
There is a big spread between the i
price of bob calve§ • and finished
veals, and the growth of the calves
from the former • state to the latter
is rapidly accomplished. The farm-
er referred- to had on one day re-
cently secured two likely?looking
calves weighing in the proximity of
90 pounds, one for $7 and the other
for $12, • having bought them by
guess. This gave him the animals
at an average of $9.50- apiece, and
if he had not wanted to take a
chance • on his judgment of weight
he could have bought the calves at
$10 per cwt. anyway. Veal calves
oil the same day were selling at
around $17 per cwt., and one that
this man had disposed of had.
brought :$40, . though he admitted
that it was an exceptional case as
the calf had bee_*- on his hands- for
a, month or more, while his usual
practice is to bring them back for
sale within two or three weeks of
thetime

up this performance, and it would
be interesting to know if the total
returns from the herd for the year
by production of veal are, greater or
less than possible returns from the
sale of milk. The- Iabor-saving
possibilities of the former plan are
unquestionable.
THE END OF THE WORLD FOR
THE RUSSELITES.
Dear Expo tor,—I wish to call the
attention of the public to an article
in your lest issue called "The End of
the World for Russellites." The art-
icle is simply a repetition of what has
been written over and over again in
'almost every newspaper in the Domi-
nion and elsewhere. Surely the pub-
lic must be tired of such misrepre-
sentations and, falsehoods. Such an
article could not have been written
by winprofeeristy,-
he hadone forgotten
o ss
thse ChScripturalianitfor in-
junction, "Speak evil of nci man," and
had entirely i pored the golden rule.
The object f repeating these letters
is for no othe purpose, but to poison
the minds of he people and they have
succeeded wonderfully well..
Now Mr.. Editor, it would be im-
possible to go into details, time and
space will • not permit, but I wish to
mention the fact that Pastor Russell
during his lifetime was fully aware of
all these misrepresentations and false-
hoods, regarding his teachings and
character, and he realized that his pre-
dictions were by no means popular.
ar
When Noah predicted the flood it was
not popular, and he must have been
feeble-minded enough to be in a state
institution according to the writer's
theory, the Apostle Paul, too, - was
called a madman for his zeal in ex -
ponding the Gospel, the writer would
no doubt have had him in a state in-
stitution also.
Had Pastor Ilusself turned his at-
tention to any else, ouch as compos-
ing
ompos
ing . novels, or frequenting the race
course, and other worldly pursuits his
character would not have been tramp-
led in the mire. an every age where
truth and light was brought forward
persecution followed. Did not Jesus
say, "Ye shall be hated of all nations
for my name's sake"; "They shall say
all manner of evil against yon false-
ly", and again, "Woe unto you when
all men speak well of you."
As regards the "End of the World,"
neither Pastor Russell nor any of his
followers believed or taught anything
'of the kind, but the reverse, yet al-
most every other person you meet be-
lieve the world is corning to an end
(but not in their day of course!) and
strange to say they -hated Pastor Rus-
sell because they thought he predicted
it to take place in 1914. I am glad
that I'm not so feeble-minded.
Now please take your Bible end
turn up Eccl. 1:4, also Isaiah, 451:18,
you will find not the slightest semb-
lance of the world coming to an d.
On October 31, 1916, Pastor P s-
een died penniless, and not worth il-
Dons as stated, all his means having
441111444011411
been used for the good of inankhid.
N w regarding the "Windy Rub-
bish' which the water -refers to as
to tht by Pastor Russell, I'in very
to. .ul= for it, being no longer
sp • n -fed, for now 1 understand the
Seri tures do not contradict themsel-
ves, but are one harmonious whole.
1 ' conclusion I would say, let us be
hon st with ourselves, as Pastor Rus-
sell so often pointed out, and follow
the example of the Bereans of old
wh + searched the Scriptures daily 1»
see if these things • be so. Surely if
eve there was a time that Bible study
is , bsolutely necessary it is now in
the . e days of great sorrow; and dis-
tre , s.
he Bile is full of restitution, prep}..
Ise and blessings fors this poor, sin -
cur ed earth, so much soethat it would

rea them all, Let me quote you. one,
"T e desire of ail nations shall come."
