Beauty Parlors for Daily Cows An important step in clean milk production is to clip the udders, hips? and flanks of the cows, thus making the daily brushing much easier and more effective. Clipping of the tail, head, and neck and shoulders adds to the appearance of the cows, and •aids in getting rid of lice, which will multiply quickly at this time if not propery eradicated. A good wet or ’powder shampoo repeated in ten days will do the trick. Taking More Prominent Part in Export to Great Britain (Since September, Canada has com­ menced to take a place among the more important suppliers of eggs to the British markets. Some 128,000 dozens of eggs were exported during that month. Prices to Canadian producers have recently Improved steadily. Fresh receipts of eggs are somewhat scarce and continued firm­ ness in price is probable. Those pro­ ducers who wisely hatched ot pur­ chased early chicks, are in a posi­ tion to at least make some profit as a result of adopting firm 'business methods. Canadian eggs continue to be exported in fair volume. The Tor­ onto and Montreal markets continue very firm. Honey Exports Increasing Domestic Price is Rising Indications are for a shortage of honey in Ontario next spring, report­ ed Ontario Marketing Board recent­ ly. Total white honey exports of all grades from the Province are now in excess of 300 tons, which taken to­ gether with the crop variously re­ ported from 40 to 50% less than last year, and with the substantial ex­ ports from the Province of Quebec, leaves the entire domestic market cleaned up of all surplus supplies. Prices are rising to producers and few beekeepers are selling bulk lots for less than 8 cents per pound f.ob. shipping point for top grades. This is an increase of approximately 2 to 13 cents per pound as compared with 19'31. The Britieh market is reporting a lively interest in Canadian honey this year due, somewhat, to the fact that a world shortage of this crop is re­ ported, except for domestic produc­ tion in England. In addition, the benefit of the Imperial Conference Agreements, which give Empire hon­ ey a protection of seven shillings per long cwt., are being realized to the maximum for the first time this year since their adoption. Ontario Fruit Storage The cold storage warehouse re- cently erected at Woodstock, Ontar­ io, with its 10,0.00 barrel capacity is, another unit in a chain of cold stor­ age warehuses that gives Ontario fa­ cilities for 20,000 barrels of apples. The warehouse has facilities to handle the storage of all kinds of fruit and vegetables. Shingles! No. 1 B. C.

Under­ finished pigs make soft bacon and poor cuts and roasts. Juniors Create Interest at Ottawa Winter Fjair The Junior Department at the Ot­ tawa Winter Fair again brought out a large number of competitors and keen competition resulted. The var­ ious competitions also created a good deal of interest on the ringside The two-day program included class­ es open to Calf Club members, show­ manship competition and Inter Co. Competitions in the judging of live stock and seeds. In the Calf Club competitions, <5i4 club members exhibited their calves. In the Holstein section, the group from Prince Edward County won the high honours against strong compe­ tition. In the section open to Ayr- shires, the group from Williamstown Ayrshire Club, Glengarry County again repeated their win which they made at the Central Canada Exhib­ ition. In the beef section, the group from Renfrew also repeated their win made at the August show. The Showmanship classes brought out 63 competitors and the officials H. W. Graham of Kemptville and A. D. Runions of Peterborough found it difficult to make the awards, so pro­ ficient have the young men become in exhibiting their animals. The Inter-County Judging Compe­ titions also maintained their usual interest. The Inter-County Live Stock Judging Championship for Eastern Ontario was won by the La­ nark County team. In the Seed Judging, Renfrew Co. was victorious. ■Other features which attracted a good deal of interest in the live stock department, were the county herds and inter county pens of sheep and hogs. In the former Lanark Coun­ ty was awarded the premium honors in the Holsteins and sheep, Carleton County pen was victorious, while in hogs, the honors again went to La­ nark County. Milk Cooling During The Colder Months Do not attempt to cool milk by setting the cans out-of-doors, even in freezing weather. It takes far too long for the milk to cool to '50 degrees F., for air is a good insulator but a poor cooling medium. Use a cooling tank with water as cold as possible, and keep the level up to the necks of the cans. Watch for Seed Fairs The adaptability of different var­ ieties of grain to different soil and climatic conditions is reflected to no small extent in the degree of devel­ opment attained by individual ker­ nels. Varieties which consistently win high places at our seed fairs are therefore likely to be at least reason­ ably well suited to the district from which they come. Moral: Watch the winners at the Seed Fairs. Too Many Green Apples On British Markets Arrival of Canadian apples at the rate of 150,000 to 250,00:0’ barrels a week have knocked the bottom out of the British apple market for the time being, as supplies of this mag­ nitude far exceed the demand in the early part of the season, when Eng­ lish apples have not yet been, dispos­ ed of. Green apples, and particularly On­ tario Greenings, are in excessive sup­ ply On the British markets, says An­ drew FUlton, Overseas Fruit Repre­ setnative. Where Ontario growers hate the advantage of cold' storage facilities, Mr. Fulton considers that it is likely to pay to hold suitable varieties baclk for shipment after the New Year, it is colour and not variety that sells Ontario dessert apples in Great Britain, and pool* prices are being obtained even for otherwise good fruit that is lacking in colour. Buy­ ers are discriminating against green or partly green fruit, largely be­ cause the markets generally are in a congested state owing to excessive supplies. Some specially fine coloured Snow apples are sold as high as 22 shill­ ings a barrel, while similiar apples with less colour off the same steam­ er sold from 13 shillings upwards. In the first week of November, choice Ontario Jonathans in barrels, being scarce, made from 22 to 27 shillings a barrel. On the other hand, beau­ tiful No. 1 Greenings were selling from 12 to 14 shillings, simply be­ cause there will be large quantities of low-priced English cooking apples available until Christmas, and these fix the price level of all cooking ap­ ples. Mr. Fulton adds that there is only one place to store apples and that is in Ontario. The bulk of the Green­ ings he had examined this season would not stand cold storage in Great Britain after arrival there, as they all showed indications of some degree of ripeness. It has been his experience that once Greenings have been carried at a warm atmosphere and have started to work, cold stor­ age will not retard the ripening pro­ cess sufficiently to warrant the extra expense involved. McLEOD—MATHERS A pretty wedding was solemnized at the Baptist parsonage, Parkhill, when Gertrude Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Orn Ma­ thers, was united in marriage to James McLeod, eldest son of Mr. J.

After a short honeymoon trip the young couple will reside in Schom­ berg where Mr. Cantelon is teach­ ing.—Clinton News-Record. Sunday School Lesson PAUL IN EPHESUS Sunday, December 3—'Acts 19.8-20. Golden Text Blessed are they which are perse­ cuted for .righteousness sake. (Matt. 5:10a.) People are not saved merely by re­ penting of their sins. Something more is needed—& Saviour. There is striking evidence of this in our lesson. An Alexandrian Jew named Apol- los was a very eloquent man, and “mighty in the scriptures”; that is, he knew his Bible which was our Old Testament, thoroughly. But he had been trained only in "the baptism of John” the Baptist, and John’s great message was ‘Repent ye . . . Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight” (Matt. 3: 2-3.) That is, John urged with flaming eloquence that men should turn from their sins and be ready for the Messiah and Saviour when He came. That was good so far as it went, but it was only preliminary to the preaching of the Gospel, which Apol- los did not yet know. Paui, when he came to Ephesus, found “certain disciples” who evidently were sin­ cere and earnest men, but who lack­ ed something'. They had been, un­ der the teaching of Apollos ahd Paul asked them: “Did ye receive the Holy (Spirit when ye believed?” This Correct rendering is given in the Re­ vised Version. They answered that they had “not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.” Pau> questioned them further, and found they knew only “John's baptism.” Then Paul carried the faith of these disciples intelligently forward, ex­ plaining that John's baptism of re­ pentance meant that people “should believe on Him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus." Gladly these men then accepted Christ as their Saviour, and “were baptized in the name of the Lord Je­ sus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came to them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied." These were the evidences or “signs” that God gave at that time, at the begin­ ning of the new dispensation of grace, of the coming of the Holy Spirit into believers’ lives. The New Testament makes it plain, however, that these signs, then given1, were not to be understood as permanently needed to prove the coming of the Holy Spirit into a believers’ life. Paul wrote later by inspiration, "whether there be tongues, they shall cease.” (1 Cor. 13:8.) But every believer, in the moment of re­ ceiving Christ by faith as Saviour, receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit: “for by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles” (1 Cor. 12:13.) Paul was given one o.f his greatest ministries in Ephesus. First he de­ voted three months to proclaiming boldly, in the synagogues of the Jews, Jesus at the Messiah. When many however, “were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he depart­ ed from them,” and the true believ­ ers stayed with him as he continued to preach Christ, to' the Gentiles as well as to the Jews. This ministry bore such large fruit that he remain­ ed on in Ephesus for two years, and the entire population of the province of Asia "heard the word o,f the Lord Jesus.” .'Sensational events kept on hap­ pening. Certain "vagabond Jews” tried to imitate Paul’s casting out of demons in the name of the Lord Jesus, but the evil spirits turned against them, crying out: "Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?” The demon-possessed men-at­ tacked these impostors so that they bad to flee, naked and wounded; but this only resulted in the turning of greater numbers in true faith in Christ. Al great revival broke out, and the books of false religions were pub­ licly burned by the converts, “and they counted the price of them, and; found it '50,00'0 pieces of silver.” Ephesus was the site of the great and beautiful Grecian temple of the godess Diana. So many were turned from Diana to Jesus that the trade of the silversmiths, who made sil­ ver shrines for Diana, was seriously impaired. Then followed the fam­ ous riot, when the people,, under the instigation of the silver shrine makers, rushed into the open air theatre and “all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, "Great is Diana of the Ephesus” They would have done mob violence to Paul if they could have laid hold of him. The riot was finally quell­ ed by the town clerk, and Paul mov­ ed on to his missionary journeying,. After revisiting earlier fields he came to Miletus, south o.f Ephesus, whence he planned to sail for Syria in order to reach Jerusalem by the day of Pentecost. At Miletus a beautiful scene oc­ curred. He sent and asked the eld­ ers of the church at Ephesus to come to him, and he had a farewell meet­ ing with them, remarkable for its Christian fellowship and deep human affection. He rehearsed some of his experiences among them, and re­ minded them of the teaching he had given them— “repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Je­ sus Christ.” He felt that he must now go to Jerusalem and he knew not what lay ahead, except: “that bonds and afflictions abide me.” With prophetic understanding Paul declared to them that they should see his face no more, but, “watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace which is able to build you up, and to give you inheritance among all them which are sacrificed.” Then Paul kneeled, “and prayed with them all,” and we read that his beloved Christian friends broke down and webt as they embraced and kiss­ ed him in their last igood-bye on earth.

Had Loaded Rifle Uniknown to Mciltenzie, Hollands had put a cartridge in the rifle which McKenzie picked up as they were about to leave the kitchen of the Clarke home. McKenzie called the attention of Hollands as he was go­ ing from the room, "Look here.” He was examining the rifle, held in his hands with the barrel pointing toward his body. He pulled the trig­ ger discharging the gun. As he slumped to the floor he ex­ claimed to Hollands. “Oh, was the rifle loaded-" Mrs. Clarke, who was in another section of the house and Hollands, did what they could for the wound­ ed youth, but he died about five min­ utes later. Dr. Racey was soon on the scene of the shooting and after learning the circumstances released the body which was. removed to his home. Clayton McKenzie was born in E.
