Sheep breeders in the Rimou- ski area of Quebec are getting go o d results from cross -bred Iambs. In the fall of 1950, 92 North country Cheviot rams were placed in service in the area for the production of market lambs from Leicester type flocks. Of this group 34 were placed with the Bic co-operative. * Last year, members of the co- operative had 121 lambs per 100 owes and losses were One per dent lower than the average for •mho§ province. Cross -bred Che- viot -Leicester ewes in the area were mated in the fall of '1952 with O x f o r d and Shropshire rams and produced 210 market lambs and the improvement made by this second cross was particularly noticeable when the arcassee were- graded in the abattoir, * a: The average grading for Que- bec lambs was: 47 per cent Choice, 32 per cent Good, and 21 per cent inferior. Wether lambs front the Cheviot -Leicester cross, graded: 60 per cent Choice, 22 per cent Good and 18 per cent inferior, but the second cross lambs, from the Down rams, graded 79 per cent Choice, 18 per cent Good and only 3 per cent inferior. *, Thie year the 435 Cheviot - Leicester ewes now owned by members of the Bic co-operative, in 29 flocks, will be mated with 18 Oxford and 5 Shropshire and Suffolk rams, This project to improve the quality of the market lambs from the Riniouski district is a co- operative undertaking by the flock owners and representatives of the provincial and federal de- partments of agriculture, A province that was, accord- ing to a lot of oldtimers, founded en the dual. purpose cow, the 'Fritter' Away Those1ieasant Moments )W DOROTHY MADDOX NOW is the time for spring parties, It's also the season for fragrant, fresh pineapple.

There were s o m e breeders of purebred stock of course, but most of the herds that wandered about this prov- ince's pastures were either of mixed ancestry or were mixed herds. . * * It used to be, to quite an extent, the custom to keep some dairy cows, and some of the beef type. That way the farmer was able to get a fair amount of milk and at the same time he raised beef calves which kept him in meat or provided a little extra money. But the milk from both types of cows ended up in the same can. ,x c This isn't so much the custom today. Ontario cream p>'0ducera aren't usually purebred breeders —they're general farmers. But at the same time most of their herds, if not pedigreed, are made up of cows that can trace their ancestry to a single breed. This enables the :farmer to have a better idea Of just what his cows are going to do when it comes to filling the milk pail, and it also makes for more uni- formity in butterfat content of the milk. In the end it makes for a better deal for the con- s u m e r, whether he purchased milk, cream or butter. And the , faamer who wants beefy calves can still bred his cows to beef bulls, and get cross- bred steers that do fairly well as meat producers for the stock- yards.

Elijah Challenges Baal Warship I Kings 17:1; 18:17-24: 37-30: Memory Selection: How long halt ve between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow hien; but if Bach then follow him, 1 Kings 18:21. Elijah is particularly ren-iean- bered for his encounter with the prophets of Baal on Mount Car- mel. But there was a period of preparation for this spectacular event . Elijah had learned to pray effectively. He said to King Ahab, "As the Lord of God of Israel liveth, before whoin I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but ac- cording to my word." As the drought became more desper- ate it was well for Elijah to be hiding. At Cherith he learned to depend on the ravens to bring his food. Later when the brook - dried he went to Zarephath where he depended on God and on a widow. The widow pre- pared the meals but Gad kept the handful of meal from be- coming less and oil from fail- ing. After three and a half years of drought Elijah appeared be- fore King Ahab. Many Of Israel had followed the lead of Ahab's wicked wife in becoming wor- shippers of Baal. The. 850 pro- phets which ate at Jezebel's table were summoned ' to Mt, Carmel. There ., God sent fire from heaven upon Elljah's sac- rifice consuming even the stones and water in the trench, The people fell on their faces and acknowledged Jehovah as the true God..The prophets of .Baal, were slain. In answer to prayer the heavens again gave rain. Many Canadians are worship- ping money and pleasure. When We give ourselves to the love of money and sensuous pleasure war miss God's blessing. Mala is Ail immortal being and cant;;t feed his soul on 'the things which money can buy. Many try to forget the emptiness of their lives by getting drunk. That leads to greater troubles. Billy Graham and others are trying to call the world back to God. There is to be a forsaking of sin and a humbling of our- selves before God. As we be- lieve on Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, He will for- give us our sins and give us both the inclination and power to live a holy life. He will give us the Holy Spirit to abide with tis and guide us into all truth. Movie Star Photos Recall Early A few afternoons ago, 1 spent a mellow hour with some fam- ous faces from a fabulous pio- neer' age of motion pictures. Currently celebrating its 35th anniversary, 'United Artists had assembled, photographs Tr o m Sortie Of its earliest successes. Some of them recall an almost legendary era, writes John Beaufort in The Christian Sci- ence Monitor. It was an era of D. W, Griffith, of the Gish sisters, Mary .Pick- ford, and Douglas Fairbanks, and Charlie Chaplin, It was Griffith, Fairbanks, Chaplin, and Miss Pickford who founded United Artists on April. 17, 1919. Their objectives were "to improve the photoplay in- dustry* and its artistic standards, , and the methods of marketing photoplays," and to "market photoplays in the interests of the artists who create them," The founders and their assn- ciates set to work to realize their goal. in a series of films which were to help establish the Worldwide popularity of the new medium, Many have be- come cinema classic, ( The Mu- seum of Modern Art is current-' ly offering a vivid resume of c:inein.a history with a UA flim series.) Moviegoers w h oremember back to the days when televi- sion wasn't even a gleam in an electronic eye, would find many 4 xnovig memory tory in the several cowl. "stills" from the United Artists llles: Douglas Fairbanks in "His Majesty the American" (the company's first release) and "The Three Musketeers," Rich- ard Barthelmess .in "Broken Blossoms," Charles Ray in "The Girl I Loved," Charlie Chaplin in- "The Circus," Rudolph Val- entino in "The Son of the Sheik," Mary Pickford in "Pol- lyanna" and "Little Lord Faun- tleoy." To meet the demands of an expanding market, the founding quartet made contracts with in- dependent producers who re- leased their films under the United Artists banner; Among these were Abel Gance's "I .Ac- cuse," George Arliss in "The Man Who Played God," Mae Marsh in "Paddy the Next Best Thing," John Barrymore in "The Beloved Rogue," and Buster Keaton in "The General." UA films of the 1930'0 ixl.• eluded "Street Scene," "Arro*- smith," "Congress Dances," "The Ghost Goes West," "The Emper- or - Jones," "Elephant Boy," "Dead End," "Doclsworth," "You Only Live Once," "Wuthering Heights," and "Our Town." Notwithstanding its successes aver the years, United Artists has had more than ,its share of show business vicissitudes. The general movie downtrend that followed World War II almost carried UA under. That 'the company has anything to cele- brate this year, except past glories, is due to one of those recoveries in the best melodra- matie tradition. In 1951, a group headed by Arthur B. Krim and Robert S. Benjamin assumed management of the company (the only re- maining founder -owners were Miss Pickford and Mr. Chaplin), UA then had a deficit of $1,000,- 000. As Variety summed it up recently: "No pictures, no cus- tomers, no money." Now, all that has changed, With films which may not in- variably have improved the photoplay industry and. its artis- tic methods, the new manage- ment at least succeeded in turn- ing the tide on disaster. There followed "The African Queen," "High. Noon," "Moulin Rouge," and 'Bwanna Devil" (the first' of the recent 3-D films). 7/, 744b g or the Record It's an excellent idea to keep a garden note-boo'lt or diar",y„ Here we jot down the dates .ot actual planting and note thet first green peas or the first gladioli bloom. We also list new varieties that we are going to grow next year sure and those jobs we intended to do but did not get around to in 1954. For some neglected jobs it won't be necessary to wait that long. With certain lines of nursery stock, most shrubs, trees and vines for instance one can buy and plant in the fall just as well as next spring. By doing this we get these established earlier and save time for other tasks next year. Be Tough One has to be firm when it comes to thinning and some other jobs about the garden. Nature is much too generous and if every seed that sprouted were allowed to grew, things would get in a terrible mese, Plants would be crowded un- mercifully, would become weak and spindly, a prey to the first insects or even a good breeze. Everything will do much better if there is plenty of room to develop. Newly transplanted. flowers, vegetables and nursery' stock will become sturdier and much better plants if they are pinched back. In all bedding - plants, things like petunias, asters, tomatoes, and such that come in flats or boxes, all flower buds and bloom should be removed when transp;anting takes place. Thin them too In almost every case where plants are started fre n seed and especially tiny seed, like lettuce or alyssum or poppies, they must be thinned later. In doing this naturally we pull out the poorer • specimens first but in any case we must leave plenty of room for full development. If we aro afraid of later damage from bugs or cutworms perhaps we will. leave twice as many plants ass et first, then later on we re- move very other one. In cer- tain vegetables like beets and carrots, too, we leave the plants about an inch or so apart ag first, then tete later thinning* for our first meals. Where thinned properly the plants left will grow more quickly, more sturdily and should be healthier, Thinning is not always con- fined to seedlings. The extra big and fine blooms you usually set in the flower shows are often. the result of thinning. Only ixt this case it will be the flower buds that are removed. Instead of letting every single rose,, peony, or dahlia develop, then professionals nip off about fifty percent or more of the buds se that thise that are left will be finer and bigger. The same thing is done with fruit like apples,. plums and peaches for big prime results.
