In which a rigid posture was assumed was lone enough to call the action a poin Under the accepted procedUre 1 of judging, this is considered fault, and the dog is penalize4 accordingly. Yet many spOrtSracit have a different opinion ort tho subject of dog judging proce., dure, Many actions of hunting dogs show that sporting dogs at,. Customed to working game fre- quently respond to that insti,nG.' Wee urge to point, regardless Or the fact that they have been, carefully trained to flush it. Retrieving also might well be considered a definite instinct -- certainly with some breeds. Al- most any dog can be taught to retrieve. All that is required is a little know-how and a lot of Patience, Many dogs of breeds other than the retrieving spe, cialists are natural retrievers and require no training whatever in this regard. Many beagles and bassets maim excellent pheasant dogs, and some are used regularly in grouse hunting. I do not know of p.ny Instances of their pointing game, but many are natural re- trievers and very useful in this department. Can the puppies of a dog that has an outstanding field trial re- cord and terrific hunting ability be expected to inherit these characteristics? Such expecta- tions do not always materialize in dog breeding, While the theory of "like begets like" is a good rule on which to pin your hopes, Nature very often has a way of upsetting the apple cart, I have seen champion-bred dogs that proved practically worthless in the field, yet members of the same litter proved high caliber, So, this matter of instinct is not one to be treated lightly. The more experience one has with any breed of dog, the more he sees it come to light, for dogs can be versatile. By Henry I'. Davis, Dog Editor of "Sports Afield."

It is a kind of finger-post of God, vale arable not so much for what it is as for that which it indicates of the grace" and power of the. doer, or of the higher world in which he stands. Our study today is of the first of the signs which Jesus did. Our Memory Selection is: "This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and mani- fested forth his glory; . and disciples believed on him." John 2:11. This statement indicates that all reputed miracles con- nected with Christ's youth found in the Apocryphal Gospels arc fictitious. These signs manifest Christ's glory. It is noteworthy that the first of Christ's signs should be per- formed on the joyous occasion of a wedding, Jesus was inter- ested in weddings though He did not marry. However, He is pre- paring a Bride which He shall present to Hiself on His return. Ephesians 5:25-27; For her, the Church, He did far more than turn. water into wine; He gave Himself. He shed His own blood on. Calvary for the redemption of sinners that He might prepare , a bride for Himself. Much has been said about the possibility of the 'good wine' which Jesus made, containing alcohol. Since it was not analy- zed by an chemist, it is impos- sible Jo know. This was not the juice of the grape. It was wholly supernatural, made entirely out of water. We cannot doubt that God was well able to produce miraculously a drink, and a nu- tritious drink, too, that tasted better than their man-made wine, without any alcohol in it. The Bible condemns drunken- ness. "They that do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.", Galatians 5:21. The drink that Jesus made was not design- ed to promote drunkenness.

The many ways in which the dog has adapted himself to the seg., vice of mankind, in peace and war, Industry and science, Werk and sport, are far too numerous to list. The natural intelligence Of canines has been developed to such a high degree that at least one member of practically every, breed has achieved an accom- plishment which Is not indigen- ous to its breed, and is some- times a specialty of another breed. For example, Dalmatians are considered a nonsporting breed but have been used fox' finding and pointing upland game birds; dachshunds are classified in the hound group but have been suc- cessfully trained to retrieve waterfowl; and mongrels have been put to work trailing lost persons. I have heard it fre- quently said that trail hounds have little aptitude for intensive training, but it is my opinion that much depends on the in- dividual dog, All dogs possess, in at least some small degree, the pointing instinct. In the pointing bird dog breeds this has been encouraged, nourished, and developed for such a long time that it has be- come a dominant characteristic; In others, the instinct to point lies dormant, but it is still there. This age-old instinct, fleeting though the action was original- ly, has been developed through many years of encouragement and training to such an extent that a pointing dog is now ex- pected to remain motionless and rigid upon scenting game, until the hunter arrives to flush it. To the student of gun-dog be- havior, it is not very surprising to see a member of some non- pointing breed occasionally come to a staunch point on game birds. Nevertheless, it is unusual enough to be spectacular, Many Labradors~ golden, and Chesapeake Bay retrievers are used regularly in pheasant hunt- ing, particularly in the ringneck country of Canada, Generally, these are hunted in the manner of spaniels and encouraged to range close and flush their game, altheugh I am sure there is an occasional point registered.

World attention now is on Algeria, where France is currently spending one billion dollars a year fighting Algerian rebels.

IN THE DRIVE- FOR FREEDOM BY SMALL NATIONS since the war, France has lost territories that" addup to an area many times her own size, Boxes in News- map above point out those nations and enclaves which have obtained or been granted complete independ- ence from France. Most former French possessions, however, have chosen to become self-governing members of the French Community, similar to the around buildings. Simazine used at the rate of six ounces per square rod does the same job at a cost of $2.20 but is effective only for three or -four' years These herbicides are purchased in liquid form for mixing with water. • • * Sodium chlorate applied dry at 10 pounds per square rod, kill- ed all vegetation at a cost of $1.35, Six pounds of a monuron- borate mixture applied dry did the job for $2.25 per square rod. Monuronborate is not inflamma- ble or harmful to livestock or clothing. TCA, dalapon and amitrole are more suitable for large 'patches of couch grass and some other weeds in fields, but their resi- dual effect is of short duration. Canada's economy is in trou- ble, and the United States has every reason to want to be of , help. For if the recession in the Dominion, already more severe than our own, is prolonged or grows worse, the ill effects will be felt in our own country as well. Our exports will 'suffer, for Canada is our best customer, buying a fifth of 'the goods sold beyond our borders. Income from investments will suffer, for e bath firms and individuals are ;,^ heavily involved in Canadian owning& • In Canada itself, moreover, a worsening or prolongation of thee, slump can only lend force to proposals for increased protec- tionism which have been heard for the past four years and lon- ger.'

Empire preference bloc, there is no other country that can do as much to invigor- ate the flagging Canadian econo- my as the United States. Co-operation is wanted in vir- tually every category.

What can the United States do to help? It can buy more from Canada, particularly of processed and manufactured items, Our present tariffs dis- criminate against these products in favour of commodities in , their natural or semi-finished state, which deprives the Cana- dians of the greater income their country could obtain from carry- During recent years it has ' been found that leptospiral in- fection in. North American cattle and swine is more widespread than originally suspected. Dr. P. J. G. Plummer, Director of the Animal Pathology Laboratories of the Canada Department of Agriculture, believes that al- though this increase may be real, it could be due merely to the greater use of diagnostic facili- ties, These facilities are contin- ually being improved through joint field and laboratory re- search. * In adult cattle leptispirosis results in abortion and a de- crease in milk production. How- ever about 75 per cent of the animals infected do not show symptoms but they may shed the infeotive agent in their urine for some weeks. In calves the infec- tion is usually severe and results in the appearance of blood in urine and then death, * In swine the disease is less apparent but may occasionally cause abortion. Infected swine shed lePtospira in their urine for many' months, Investigation of a recent outbreak in calves revealed that they had been in direct contact with infected sows. ISSUE 1 - 1961 as Hiding In The Honeysuckle It was on a midsummer day that a sudden commotion in the growth by the roadside brought me up with a round' turn. Then I saw Ma Half hidden in the greenery of the asparagus patch from whence came a frenzy of startled clucking was the brown mottled body of a hen pheasant. I took a step toward her. Imme- diately the honeysuckle into which I had stepped came alive with little round feathered bod- ies, the size of baby chicks, that stuttered here and scattered there. . . . One little creature wee almost underfoot. Leaning' over I cup- ped my hands in front of him and in alarm he leaped into the trap, For a split second I felt him, .soft and crouching, his back eyes blinking, a little fea- thered parcel of perfected camo- uflage with a slight yellow bar on his wings. Then with a sud- den spurt he slipped through my fingers and scrambled off into the depth of the honeysuckle.- From "Thousand Acre Marsh," by Dudley Cainmett Lent. _ _ _ , , , , , , 1 i i , t 9 h of id blgrrsaonocre 1'2.
