M. * (Furnished by -Ontario Depart- * * rent of Agriculture.) * *********** Palet Sunday in the Year A.D. 30 The laalnn Sunday procession was a part of Jesus' deliberate plan, The Jews must receive Him as their' King, or they must reject Iiim, They must choose. To give theta the op- portuhity to eli'oose, He would enter their capital city as The Prince of Peace, There are four things to remember if we would get the right picture of tPa'lm Sunday. First, --the main roads wind around the hills as they lead on to the city, and they are crossed at every angle by the paths between the villages,ntear by, Second,—'The guests already at the feast in Jerusalem, were not yet poison -ed against Jesus— they knew that He had raised Lazar- us from the dead. They wanted to see 'Lazarus. Third,—the religious enthu- siasm of the Jew was ah its height during the Passover week—every car- avan u -as welc'o'med and led in to the city, and tm to the Temple. Fourth,— the Pilgrim Band which Jesus had led from Ephraim, (and others. from Galilee) had been caim,ping around Bethany over the week end. During the morning, final prepara- tions were made for the "official en- trance" into Jerusalem. The proces- sion of pilgrims singing p'satnis was formed, and the march of- two miles or more was begun. Two dis'cipleis were sent to a near- by village for an ass's colt (which was grudgingly loaned!). They would take another path and meet the pro- cession a little nearer .the •city: Theaguests already in Jerusalem were on their way out to see Lazarus, The two disciples with ' the colt came down .the other road, with some pilgrims following, Jesus' procession was on its way. AG three groups met at the meet- ing of the roads! A burst of praise followed. Jesus was placed :on the colt, palm branches were scattered in bhe way. The group ,from bhe city turned to lead back to Jerusalem. The others followed Jesus as He rode maijestically toward the city, while the multitude sang their responsive psalms. Some Pharisees were there, baffled and angry, seeing their plots crumble and the world going after Jesus. They came to Him and said: "Stop this people's noise!" But Jesus only answered that He dare not, for if He cb!cl, the very stones would cry outl ,..Around a bend in the road—they -passed a rounded hill, and with a burst ,of glory the city and the Temple came into riew. 'Phis sight always stirred pilgrims to ecstacy, and again they began to sing: "I was gla4 when they said unto me, let us go unto the House of the Lord," But Jesus, gazing on the city, wept over it with a very loud voice, saying, "Would that you knew on what your peace depends." The people not seeing His burden of sorrow sang on. Now they turned to the Messianic Psalms with re- sponses. "Blessed be the King who comes in the name' of the ,Lord." "Peace in Heaven and Glory in the r-Iigh Places." 'On to the city they moved. Silent and sad, tears standing in His eyes, the Majestic Christ rode on through the gates, and the multitude grew lar- ger and louder. "Who is this?" the stranger in the city asked. And the ubiquitous Phar- isee had his ready answer, 15 Jesus of Nazareth," then with a smile of cun- ning, added, "Did you ever hear of any good costing out of Nazareth?" All the way to. the Temple Je- sus was conscious of plo'taa in the staking. But the Master was indiffer- ent to it all—lHe rode as the Prince of Peace into the Temple which ought to distribute peace to the Jews and to the 'world. The clay was done. The disciples were sent ,back with the colt. The pro= ce.,,i.se scattered through the Tennple, nd away balk to the city, every man in his own way. Jesus stood alone, and looked ar- ound on the things he saw,—in .sil- enco. , , ,The stoney changers with their unholy rates of exchange. , ..... The seaters of sacrifices, with their evil smelling stalls full of blemished lambs already blessed for the Pass- over. s. a. assover..,..'„ (Priests and Scribes, ,distap- peering .behind closed doors (marked private")' ..;'The Pilgrims, enthu- siastic, eager, worshi'p'ful' T'he Disciples, proud and happy (all save one, who sought a word, with a Phar- seel) And having looked , .., , and seen, Jesus walked back through the city and out ao Bethany for the night,— but as :He went He could not help thinking,—"The Temple was to be a Iouse of Prayer but they have made r a (len of Thieves." Planting Early Cabbage Early cabbage is a very goad ston- ey .crop. More value may be obtain- ed from an acre Of it than the same area devoted to malty other crops. iSeed sowing should be done early in \4areih ansi ,the ,plants 'grown in flats or thumb pots and later (put in four inch pots. ,Hardening off before plant- ing in the field is very important. This will make the plaints Trost 'har- dy. As soon as the plants show signs of growth in the opera field, apply a side dressing of nitrate of soda. Time to Castrate .Pigs The early castration of market pigs has manv advantages which should not be overlooked. Young pigs are easily handled, suf- fer very little and heal quickly, with a small percentage of losses, if the operation is properly performed and necessary precautions taken to prev- ent infection. At the Dominion Experimental 'Fame, Indian ,Head, pigs for -market purposes are castrated previous to weaning time. Pigs to be weaned at six weeks are castrated at one month of age or if weaning is done at eight weeks they are catreted when about six weeks 1 old. Experience at this farm has shown that nursing pigs suffer less set -back and heal more rapidly 'w'itt a smaller percentage of losses, 'than older pigs, . Cut Hog Costs While hogs have been climbing to the best price reached since :1031, has be -en busy establishing a world's record for cheap production. 'He re- ports a hundred pounds gain for ev- ery 281' poends of 'feed used, which is eight pounds better than the record of the Indian State 'College previous holder of the record. Authorities at the Ontario IAgricultural College con- sider one pound- of pork gain for ev- ery four and one half pounds of feed decidedly above the average, Mr. Young gives his total cost per hun- dred pounds of pork for the entire six months feeding period as $4,75 which represents more than 4113,00 net profit per 200 pound hog at pres- ent prices. Not only have Mr. Young's hogs been fed cheaply and quickly (they were marketed at six month's) but the .duality according to the grading at Toronto and the bac- tonreports from Great Britain, where bhe pork was marketed, has been the best, \'fr. Young 'figures his costs from weaning to six months as fol- lows: 2,050 pounds of mixed home grown grain, 400 pounds of shorts, 1450 pounds Of 'special concentrated feed, total cost $69.57 for one lot of eight hogs. Hatching by Incubator !Before using the incubator check it for leaks and .breakages and test the thermometers. 'Place the machine in a well ventilated roost or cellar 'whic'h is kept at a uniform tempera- ture. The eggs used shoukl be of nor- mal' shape and appearance and at least 24 ounces to the dozen. Control the moisture according to the ap- pearance of the eggs after they are set. On the seventh -day test the air cell should be about one eighth the size of the egg and on the eighteenth day about one quarter. The eggs should be turned twice a clay. Test for fertility on the seventh and eight- eenth days, closing the ' machine on the eighteenth. Above all follow the instructions given with the .machine when purchased. • Proper Finishing Will Repay Ontario Shippers "The cattle feeder who ships only properly -!finished cattle," said .Garnet H. (Duncan, livestock investigator, Ontario Manketing 'Board, "is very definitely helping himself, "The liquidation of unfinished cat- tle will meet a poor sale, under pres- ent conditions. This is due largely to the fact that packers have such huge quantities in storage. On the other hand Ontario has considerately less cattle feeding than normal consump- tion demands, "The rise in hog prices will re- flect itself on cattle prices, and fin- ishing cattle properly will repay the feeder, and reduce this excess storage of beef. "The result of marketing un'finis 'h- ,ed cattlie at present will be an 111- crease n the storage supply, Further than this, feeders will And themselves with no cattle toship when prices advance, 'In my opinion, the wise shipper will feed to fifinish his stock, and tribute the supply over the next few months," The Mutton Sheep The production of mutton has be- came largely a gees'.tion of furnishing lambs -to the markets. As in beef or pork, the demands of the market call for young meat rand cotnparati•vely fight weights in carcass. The prem- vn ut'e to get Sunday's Detroit Times, GENT EATRE SEAFORTH NOW PLAYING.

Thick, fleshy, but rather light joints are what the cook calls for whether for the home table` or the restaurant. The tastes of the eon - sumer have been cultivated to .dis- -criminate in favour of the tasty, ten- der, lamb while we find that from 70 to S'0 per cent, of the sheep that, reach the market are less than one year old, The age of heavy mutton is passed—a condition most favorable to the sheep raiser, who is thus en- abled to reap quick returns from his flock. The increasing demand for lamb mutton this season augurs well for the 'future of the industry, prov- ided care is taken to keep up and im- prove the grade of the product. 'Winners in Bacon Competition. In the 1033 ;Bacon Litter Competi- tion there were 1133 entries, and 68 completed and qualified. The Prov- ince is divided into disteicts, and the highest scoring litter of the .competi- tion was owned 1by Grant Summers & Son, Aylmer, winner of district number 2, who marketed 1111 pigs grading 110 selects and 111 bacon, and weighed 2)270 at 11)71' days. In district number 1, W. E. Sonley, Port Per- ry, was first with 111• pigs grading 10 selects and •1 bacon. Winner of num- ber 3 district was B. T. Bolton, .Dub- lin, who had '9 pigs, ail selects. 'Mr, ;Bolton Inas been a winner in the past 5 competitions, The 45 litters in the +: prize stoney graded 70.9 per cent, selects, and the average weight was 203,1 pounds, and the average age per litter 1183 days. The previous high grading percentage was 64 per cent. selects. In awarding the prizes, carcasses are graded on the rail, the length, back rat, character of belly and firm- ness of fat all being taken into can- :ideration. Prospects Bright For Ontario Honey Trade "11934 should be a prosperous sea- son for Ontario honey producers," says Dr. E. J. Dyce, head of the Dept. of Apiculture at O A'C. and secretary of the Ontario 13eelceepers' Association, and he continues,— "Canada is now a large exporter of honey, standing second in amount supplied to the IBritis•h ,market. 11 is not many years since Canada's honey ex'p.ort was practically nil, but in re- sent years it has advanced to a strong position, and all signs 'point to still further increase in the trade. Ontario's honey export for the past year amounted to about oneoquart.er of her total production and her honey is advaiic•ing in popularity on the Bri'tis'h market, The export demand together with the high price oaf"sugar eliminated congestion -on the home market and there is et present in 'the hands of producers and dealers less than the normal amount for this sea- son Of the year. 'With these small stocks on hand it is 'Likely that all honey will be sold before the 19134 crop comes on the market. Then, too, recent reports of ciry weather in New Zealand indicate that the honey -crop at present being gathered bv bees in that country is liice'lp to he short. !For those ;and other reasons, Ont- ario beekeepers may look . faew:arrl with reasonable assurance of good prices for -tate coiitin;gseason's crop providing they give close attention tooney. business and produce high quality h The Startling End of a Whoopee Party A'n artiole, in The American Week- ly with next Sunday's Detroit Times, 'will disclose star'tl'ing facts about the sudden murder of a younv gird be'hind. a cabin aro a bourist c'am'p ,an'd tell how the probing for the bullet while the ohm was stit,1 alive, was bungled, Be iutn paid for baby beef and Macon'
