When geologists, mineralogists and prospectors all agree that Northern Quebec has the richest bit of wealth producing land yet untapped in Canada, it can be readily expected that there will be the next great gold rush. In spite of intense winter weather thousands of gold seekers are already in Rouyn Township seeking the precious metal. An unprecedented rush is pre- dicted for the spring when the waterways open up. It lies just east of the Quebec border and not far distant from the rich ore fields of northern On- tario. The water route to the new field will be by a chain of lakes and rivers from the head of Lake Temiskaming. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON MARCH 18. Jesus Crucified, Luke 23.

From various experiments in feed- ing dairy- cattle, and from observa- tion made through the records of cow - testing associations, it has been found that good feeding will increase the milk flow of the average cow from 251 to 50 per cent., says Mr. A. H. White, Chief Dairy Promoter of the Domin- ion Dairy and Gold Storage Branch, in his recently issued pamphlet on .cow -testing. To bring this increase about, it is not sufficient for the dairyman to know the requirements of his herd as a whole; he must know the necessities of each individual cow in order that she may preduce the most. This knowledge can be obtain- ed only by keeping records of each cow; but, as Mr. White points out, ----- Small Profit in Scrub Stock. To secure quality and early matur- ity in beef animals (and it might be added for economy), a goad pure-bred bull is essential. With present prices it would pay most farriers to buy such an animal now, or if not, to set about making arrangements for the use of a pure-bred bull in the spring. If there is no animal of the kind near, the Dominion Live Stock Commission- er has arrangements for overcoming the difficulty, and will furnish infor- mation on request, Of course the best time to train anyone in habits of industry, honesty and self-reliance is when habits are being formed.
