the incarnation transeends every other
miracle that has been. or Will be

'Bethlehem, the stery of God 'was most
fittingly celebretee; Ior then woe, the
glory of hiss grace mo•nife.sted, arta then
was the glory that should tie rendered
him y our humanity assured. A minute
propheey Be nany times imperiled in the
course of centuries WAS at last minutely
womplished.. The whole Of the world's
history led up to that night. it was re-
markable that Christ's birth should
take place in connection with it great
political engagement. While men wero.
moving from all quarters in response to
the deeree of Caesar Augustus, the an-
gels of heaven were gathering around
the world's greatest event. An ambossee
dor wits sent from heaven to earth, from
GO to man. Particular attention was
paid to time, place and other circum-
stances to show their agreement 'with
aneieet prophecy. The music that broke
through that wonderful birth -night teas
not a dirge, but an anthem. Angels ao-
nounced the advent of Jeoras with
strains of highest rapture. It was a
brightexhibition. of the glory of God,
the moans of bringing pato upou earth,
a marvelous displey of the good -will of
God to man.
11. Welcomed and proclaimed among
men of the spirit of Simeon. They quick-
ly understood the meesege borne to
them. They responded as if it were the
intimation of that for which they had
been waiting. They were men ,obscure
and lowly, but the first to whom the
proelamation was made. The lowliest
and highest at God's rational ereature4
veSer thus brought together. it was not
malt news '.for the pereons to whom it
was sent. God knew whom. he Was
cboosiege whorl he opened heaven ou
those clear -hearted keepers of flocks.
They dieeredited neither xneeeenger nor
meesage. When the song ceased and the
1- bright host vanished, the sheoh.erds, did
riot sleen, They verified' the vision as
•earnest, -constant men• They said, "Let
us now go and see." It was a grind
journey of faith from the sheepfcild to
- the manger. The trial of their faith
came after God's awakening _angels had
gone away. Visions .are transient, an-
gels go away, but Christ abides. The
ahepherds were genuine preachers of the
truth concerning Christ. They spoke
from experience which fitted thein for
sEgviee and inspired them with a true
zeal. Their one theme, was Christ.
.Proinpt, honest, manly faith was made
known in their open confession. No.soon-
er had they felted Christ than they
made it known abroad that they had
found him. The gospel le self-propogat-
ing. Wherever it makes a convert it
make e a preacher. The shepherds caught
the strain of the angels' song, and the
spirit. of it. Angels sang of -redemption
with n. view to God's glory. They glori-
fied. God for hs goodness to man, and
the shepherds glerified him b.eeause
peace had come to earth and good -will
had already gone out toward men, and
because the fulfiling of a great hope
had come. The shepheeds investigated,
proclaimed and exemplified the great
truth which was made kuown to them.
They aceepted it as welcome news from
heaven, allowing it to claim precedence
over every Other elahn. They carried
the great joy of finding a Saviour with
them as they continued to pursue their
ordinary duties. "Mary kept all these
things, and pondered them in her
'heart," for the current of her soul flows
ed far too deep to reveal it emotions,
The flornament of a nieek and. quiet
spirit" subdued the mighty wettings ot

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW.
Montreal reports to Bradstreet% say
a steady trade continues to move in all
lines of business mere, wholesale busi-
ness is beginning to improve and on
every hand there is a feeling of optim-
ism regarding the future. Travellers
are out anct they are sending in good
orders for spring. A very fair business
is also moving in sorting lines for win -
ten business. Retail trade is steady in
character. Good sleighing has given
considerable impetus to country trade.
Toronto reports to Bradsteeet's say
the volume of general business moving
is still on the quiet side, although there
are already evidences that spring busi-
ness will be heavy. The demand for sea-
sonable lines is aleo very satisfactory.
Retail trade is moving well for this time
of the year. The larger stores are hold-
ing special sales and are meeting with
excellent business. Country trade is
good. Collections are generally satis-

the treasury now, and this will be aug-

Prof. a F. Edward/3 preseoted a paper
on conclusions front seven years' 4;o -op-
erative experiments in the uee of legume
bacteria with alfalfa, clover, peas, and
other leguminous plants. Tire experi-
ments earried on ;allowed that about 60
per cent. had resulted favorably.
Prof. C. A. Zavitz told of the profits of
Haidimend, Welland and Lincoln county
farmers with alfalfa, raising three crops
per year; the first hay, the seeond seed
and the third good pasture. One farmer
reaped two crops yearly from an alfalfa
field grown eleven years ago, while a
num.ber of other fielde are twenty years
old or more.
Prof.
Howitt, of the 0. A. C.,
gave a paper on "The Identifieation of
Weeds and Weed Seeds, and Methods of
Eradication," his address being illus-
trated with lantern slides.
Prof. R, Harcourt presented the report
of the committee on the importation and
distribution of weed seeds in noxious
screenings. The committee will again
take up the matter and will urge some
Government control, to stop the bringing
of weed seeds to Ontario in the screen-
ings of the western provinces as well as
the sale of screenings in Ontario, with
the weeds not taken out.
Prof. E. J. Zavitz, of the forestry de-
partment of the O. A. C., gave an address
on "Co-operative Forestry in Ontario,"
also illustrated with. lantern slide. He
told how the department sent out seed-
ling forest trees for replanting the farm
wood lots, and for reforesting the sand
dimes of the Provinces, and urged that
the townehip councils take action to-
wards reforesting the vacant lots under
their control.
At the afternoon session the discus -
elan on alfalfa was again taken up, Prof.
C. A. Zavitz recommending the varie-
gated strains, and Mr. Lewis Toole, Port
Albert, recommended the elimination of
common clover, replaced by alfalfa.
Prof. Warren contributed another paper
in the evening, when the dosing session
was held. He spoke on "Ways of Get-
ting Started in Farming with it Small
Capital." Studies of 2,600 farms in New
York State led to the conclusion that the
averttee farmer has $5,000 invested, but
is notmakingas much as he would if lie
;mined hie capital and went to work as
a hired man. Intensive farming with a
small acreage requires as nutch capita as
a large general farm. The only way for
a young man to eat a start is to work
out, then when he hae $1,000 o rent a
farm and when he has made peffieient
purchase it, but not before he as $5,000
or can borrow that amount. Tenant
farmers paying cash make more than
those on shares. He advocated begin-
ners to lease largely grain at first and
not go into live stock. SPeaking on the
"back to the land" cry, he said that
what was needed Was larger farms so the
boys could be profitably employed there-
on and not be driven to the city to find
WOrk.
Hon. Adam Beck gave an address ou

IRELAND EXCITED
Rally at Belfast to Hear
Bonar Law,
Protestants Worked Up by
Home Rule Question.
London, Jan. 14. -The Home Rule ex-
citement is growing in Ireland, particu-
larly in Unionist Ulster, where a vigor-
ous campaign is in progress in the hope
of creating sentiment in England against
the promised bill of the Asquith minis-
try. It is expected that the bill will be
introduced in the House of Commons in
March, but the plans of the Unionists
contemplate keeping the agitation far in-
to the Spring. rho greatest demonstra-
tion is expected in April, when Andrew
I3onar Law, the Unioniet leader in the
House of Commons, will make an ad-
dress ot a Unionist. rally at Belfast.
The demonstration at Omagh the
other day included a parade, in which
the Unionists claim there wore from
20,000 to 30,000 men, That is contra -
dieted by the Liberal newspapers, who
make the assertioa that there were less
than 8,000 in the procession.
The Unionists are making the most
of tho Popo' e deuce, forbidding Catho-
lies wader pain of excommunication from
bringing ecclesiastics into court. Their
coetention that an Irish Parliament
would be overwhelmingly Catholic, and
that it would therefore be dominated by
the Pope, is combatted by Archbishop
Walsh hot communications to the news-
papers. The Irish anti-Catholie newspa,.
pets cari on the Archbishop to say de.
finitely whether the decree applies to
Ireland, about which some doubt is ex-
pressed.
Nothing le knowu to confirin the con-
tention of the Opposition newspapers
about differencee between Premier As -
(with and John 'Redmond over giving
the Irish Parliament eontrol of the eus-
tome. Details of the Home Rule Bill are
eloeely smartie& and the ministry hopes
to be able to withhold disclosure, of its
provisions until ,it is introduced in the
Howie of Commons.

CHEESE AND BUTTER
Several Addresses Before
Dairymen's Association.
Creameries of Western On-
tario's Output of Butter.
Ingersoll, Ont., despatch: The con-
cluding sessions of the. convention of
the Dairymen's -Association of Western
Ontario were held. to -day, The at.
tonda,nce was large. , An excellent ex-
hibit of cheese and butter added. greatly
to the value of the proceedings,
Mr. Frank Hems, London, presented
his report as chief dairy instruetor and
sanitary inspector for Western Ontario.
tn 1910 Western Ontario cheese factories
produced, 420,223 boxes of eheese of 80
pounds each. This was 26,951 bos-es less
than in 1909 Although full returns for
1911 aro it yer, eompiled, they indicate
a,' still further decrease. The quality
on the whole was satisfactory.
Experiments .with over -ripe and
grassy milkaas compared with normal
milk, were eonducted. Results allow
that . cooled milk made a greater quan•
tity and a better quality of cheese
than the Uncooled milk delivered by
the same patrone the previous day,
The cooled. milk arrived at the factory
with lees acidity, was not grassy, and
there was a less does of fat in the whey;
the emitter yield of cheese from the
cooled milk increased the value about
three cents per 100 lbs, of milk. n
The following resolution was passed:
1 "That the night's milk 'for daily delivery
be cooled inimediately.after milking to it
temperature of 65 degrees �r under, and
that the temperature of this milk
sbould not be higher than 70 degrees
when delivered at the factory, 11 fol.
any reason it is found necessary to mix
the night's and marning's milk under
these conditions should be cooled to a
temperature of 60 degrees Fable or un -
cooled immediately after milking to a
miik so mixed should be delivered at
the factory at it temperature not higher
than 75 degrees Fehr. To keep milk
over Sunday for Monday morning deliv-
ery it is recommended that the milk be
cooled immediately after Diking to it
temperature of 60 degrees or under, and
held at this temperature until delivered
at the factory.'
Twenty patrons were prosecuted dur-
ing the year for adulteration of milk.
True is the smallest number of cases of
deterioration of milk found since this
work of inspection began.
The report on creamery inspection
indicated that there has been a steady
improvement of quality from year to
year. The output of the ereanieries
of Western Ontario in the peat season
was 11.310,000 lbs. of burtere ari increase
over 1910 of 1,758,000 llis. Most of the
creameries are being kept in sanitary
eoTndhicrtionr. '
esent value of cow testing
was discussed by Mr, C. F. Whitly,
of the :Dairy branch, Ottawa . The aim
of the work is to determine the pro-
fit-producin,g power of each individual
cow .in the herd, and, by weeding out
the poor animals to raise the general
standard of the herd.
"Milk Oasein and Its Relation to the
Manufacture of Cheese," was the sub•
ject of an addres63 by Professor H. H.
Dean, of the Ontario Agniettltural Col-
lege. Casein is the chief nitrogenous
compound found in milk. Without case-
in it is imnossible to make Cheddar
cheese. It is quite as valuable pound
for pound as is milk fat for the making
of cheese.
Professor R. Harcourt, of the On-
tario Agrieultural College, gave an
address on "W,hat is Milk?" "A pala-
table, easy -digested, and a very nu -
tritons food, but complex in its
composition.," At 8 or 10 cents a
quart milk' is chewaper than meet or
eggs, but not as cheap as the cereals,

OUR FISHERIES
01.••••••••....? aro
The Canadian Waters Yield
Nearly Thirty Millions.
Ottawa, Jan. 15, -The annual report
of the Fisheries Department shows that
ltiet year the market value of all fish
and fish products taken by Canadian
fishermen broke all records, the total
catch being valued at $29,90,4.33, an
increase of 8336,263 over the previous
year's high record. To the total the
sexi fisheries contributed $26,12,596 and
the inland fisheries $3,842,837. In the in-
dustry there were employed, in vcssele
and fishing boats, 68.010 men, while 24,-
078 prsons were employed in the
various canneries. fieh, bouees, etc., on
shore.
One of the moet important develop-
ments noted ,during the year woo the
increasing use of gasoline engines for
boats in the ehore and inland fish-
eries. There are now nearly five
thousand fishing boats Using such
engines.
Nova Scotia again ilea& the list of
fish -producing Provinces, with a
phenomenal increase of a little over
two million in the value of the year's
eatels British Columbia shows a de-
crease of $1,151,520, .New Brunswick
a decrease of $542,171, Ontario a de-
erea.se of $151,692, and Quebee a de-
crease of $115,961. Prince Edward Island
shows an increase of $299,394.
The total value of the fisheries .pro -
auction during the year by Provnices
was as follows: Nova Scotia, $10,119,-
243; British Columbia, $9,103,235; New
Brunswick, $4,134,144; Ontario, $2,026,-
121; Quebec, $1,692,475; Manitoba, $1,-
302,779; Prince Edward Island, $1,153,-
708.
The increase in Novo. Scotie is
largely accounted for by the big catch
of the Ltinenburg deep sea fleet and
the high prices paid for dried fieh
throughout the year.
The report concludes with a state-
ment that any decrease recorded. in
the value of the catch apart from
the salmon fisheries of British Col-
umbia, is due rather to the scarcity -
of bait and unfavorable weather condi-
tions than to any diminution of the
abundance of fish in Canadian waters.
