Quebec won in dairy cattle, ,Mani- toba in (beef cattle and poultry, Sas`• katchewan in swine, Nova Scotia in potatoes and Ontario in grains. There were 56 contestants, representing ov- er 23,000 members •of 'about 1,400 clubs. They were the very best that could 'be developed through local and elimination contests and the way in which they went about the judging of the various classes and answered questions bearing on the project which bad commanded their major attention during the past season, showed that the Boys' and Girls' Club movement is developing an ar- my oS competent leaders. During their week in Toronto, the boys and girls were royally entertained.

Consignments of the "Big O" brand, for example, were practically the first to be) sold in the leading markets lately, while miscellaneous shipments were only disposed of with great difficulty. After studying auctions and prices, at Glasgow, Liverpool, Southampton, Bristol and London, : Mr. Fulton finds that the "Big 0" brand apples have sold at an 'average of 2 shillings a barrel higher than ordinary marks. Several buyers have told him re- cently that they find that the "Big 0" pack is honest. In this and other ways, the Ontario Fruit Growers' As- sociation is building up a good rep, utation for 'centrally -packed Ontario apples; Beef Cattle The progressive steps in growing a beef steer are first to develop by continuous growth a large frame well covered with muscle and never entirely denude of fat; then to de- posit on this body of frame and muscle the fat necessary to give the animal the desired finish. To a- chieve the first step requires a rad tion rich in bone and muscle building feeds according to local conditions; to accomplish the second step a ' somewhat similar ration is needed at first, but gradually changed to one containing a larger proportion of fat producing carbonaceous foods, such as corn, barley and peas. Increases should be gradual. The condition 'of the steers should be watched and the grain feed fitted to the rate of progress, so as to have them fit to sell by the date at which it is planned to market them. asElt��- World's Champion Cow New .Soybeans Produced During Winter An attempt is being made this year to grow soybeans in the green- house at the Harrow Experimental Station. Electric lights are being used to supplement the sunlight and these are left turned on during the night to induce a strong vegitive growth. The purpose of this work if to allow crosses between varieties and strains to be made during the winter months. The seed will be matured in the greenhouse and plant- ed in the field next spring. In this way two sets of crosses may be pro- duced in one year, whereas formerly this work could be 'done only in the summer.

Mulching Strawberries In many districts it is the practice to mulch strawberry plantations with rye straw which, as it is harvested early, is very free from weed seeds and this is a very important feature where it is the custom to take future crops from the plantation.

H. Bull and Son, of Brampton, owners of "Basilua," the wonderful cow which won the world's championship in a production con- test extending over a whole year, when leading agricultural officials gathered to ,pay honor to the cow and its owners at a banquet arrang- ed by the Peel District Jersey Breed- ers' Association. unstinted praise was offered by Hon. Mr. Weir and Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Federal and Provincial Ministers of Agriculture, and Dr. G. I. Christie, head of the Ontario Agricultural College, and by many leading owners of dairy herds, This remarkable cow, which is five years of age and weighs 950 pounds, produced 19,012 pounds of milk and 1,312.8 pounds of butterfat in 365 days. Such an achievement is of widespread interest and testifies to the wisdom in selection land care in feeding and testing on the part of its owners.

The lights of Bowmanville flickered sickly through the wet blanket about us and were gone. Another flicker came to- ward us, as though on the wings of the storm and Port Hope drifted vaguely past. Then came the shim- meripg haze that was Cobourg—and the howl and snarl of the gale. Feath- ery pinions of white flitted into the cab, the country about us grew gray, then white. 1 And with an ap- palling suddenness it disappeared from view. It was as though nature had lowered a swirling curtain of snow down about us. Through the revolving glass of the engineer's window we could see the boiler of 5701 loom black and strange, a steel bulwark between us and the head- light which• cut a swath of blazing light through a world that shuttled and tumbled with the roar and twist of driving, !drifting snow. We felt suddenly very small. We in the cab were alone, very much alone, battling against the unleashed forces of the night. The engineer turned and waved a capable hand in our dir- rection. The blizzard had arrived. whistled she purred; and it is affirm- ed that he shed real tears when she was scrapped and he was given a new one. What was the answer to all this? So far as we can write, there is no answer. We can only speak of an- other locomotive, this time running on the main line. Her reputation was equally disquieting. There were failures and diseases particularly peculiar to motive power and when everything was analyzed, the round- house and shops men reached the conclusion that it was all due to her bad disposition. They proved this by the statement that no other loco- motive was babied half as much and no other locomotive did half as bad- ly. She simply declined to work and fell down ora the job. Then along came a certain engineer. He was an engineer, be it known, who was noted for his powers of ar- ticulation and the expressive way of handling his feet when annoyed, And he was very much annoyed when they assigned him to this locomotive. He walked up to the obdurate old girl and proceeded to express his annoy- ance. He kicked her in the boiler (a most ungentlemanly act) and, to add insult to injury, turned on the high- power voltage of his language' and expressed his opinion of her perform ance in the past which was both lurid and abusive. Next, he stamped up the iron steps to the cab and punched the throttle with a heavy hand. The throttle being steel and the hand only flesh, a howl of. rage went up, fol- Iowed by a display of verbal pyro-' technics that left his fireman stunned with envy and admiration. It was in this aura of personal' brimstone and, red wrath the engineer pulled out on his run. There was nothing that the fire- weather would leave its mark upon man' could do about it but make him- the country for some time. Doubt - self insignificant; and he did. Also less scars, as well. For the weight et clinging snow would fall he was scared.

He stopped, looked fondly at the wonderful country of dull green and' white through which we were speed- ing and raised an emphatic finger. "You forget that the Spirit of Christ- mas is service.

Something of a poet, our'engineer, but who would be so hardy as to ar gue with him that he was wrong, de- ing and never know it " The memory of the elder engineer hovered with us for a second and then slipped away again, back over the precipice of years. We looked np with a start. The cab of No. 6701 was flooded with light, red ' light which poured . from the open Reassurance returned as quickly as it !vanished. One had only to look at. his smiling competent face to know that such things as blizzards are merely incidents in his life. One had but to feel the pulsations of power vibrating through 6701 and glance toward the flashes of light which jutted from firebox and dials in the dark cab to know of the un- limited power in this speediest loco- motive in the continent. And the green signal lights, which defied the might of the storm, winked nonchal- antly ahead of us, to show that the line was clear! Storms, no matter how bad, are merely interludes in railway operation. The engineer laughed jovially. "Like to see snow when Christmas is coming," he shouted. "Green Christmas's no good for man nor beast. ; Give me snow every time, and plenty of it.

The yard lights of Belleville were in front of us. Somewhere beyond the driving blast of snow we knew were the lights of the city; but they were hidden. . As No. 5701 glided up to the station, we glanced curiously at the passengers waiting on the platform. How different from those of Mr. Pickwick's day they were and how different their mode of travel! But had the spirit of their tilde, the kindly thoughts of 'Christmas chang- ed during the intervening century? No, we did not think that they had. As though photographed upon our mind, in the type 'o4 which we had read them, there stood before us the words of the closing sentences of Charles Dickens' deathless story, The Chimes: "So may the New Year be a happy one to you, happy to many more whose happiness depends upon your So may each year be happier than the last, and not the meanest of our brethr,en or sisterhood debarred from their•' rightful share, in what our Great Creator formed them to enjoy'."
