Hymns of Homage. There are at present only four tunes, or pieces of music, at the first notes of which every Briton stands bare- headed in token of respect, although Scotsuteu are agitating for a fifth. It goes withoutsaying that the first is the National Anthem, Then for more than a century and a half it has been an unwritten rule at performances of Kendal's "Messiah" for the audience to rise to its feet at the 'that strains oC"The Halleluiah Chorus" and remain standing till the last note. Another eomposltion by Handel wblch brings everybody tq theirgeet is "The Dead March In Saul." . Few pea Ple remain seated ivililst this solemn march le being played. Since the inauguration of .the. two miflutes' silence on Armistice Day, "0 God, our help in ages past" has be- come the national hymn, and as 1t is played or sung immediately after the iiilenoe no One ever moves, replaces his hat, or sits down until the hymn,ls finished. Now the Scots wish to have Burns's immortal "Scats Wha Rae" recognized Its the Scottish National Anthem. A Sheaf of Sage Sentences.

The Argentine Republic is ivithont a doubt the hardest competitor for the English market. Tp -day they are able to place t1: large 'quantity of beet on the English market at a very much lower price than Canadians. This pro- duct is very much superior in quality. Therefore, the question confronting us is, what can we do to beat this com- petition? As we look over the reports of auc- tion sales held in Great Britain dur- ing the last ten years, we find that the big` ranch owners . of the Argentine have paid enormous prices foarbulls to head their pure bred herds, Men who know conditions in the Ar- gentine say that these high priced bulls are first used on the smaller herds and later turned in on the range Of cattle. It is little' wonder that the quality of beef animals in that coun- try is exteptlonally high. Thus, we can readily see that we must follow the example of our strongest competit- 1 years. ors and use only. high *less pure bred' bulls on all our grade herds. Figures from our Canadian stock)I yards show that only abort 2% of the: stock marketed during 1919 was fit for ilii export trade.
