experimental and demonstration purposes Today stock from this farm is in de mand all over Denmark espec ially the bull calves for artificial insemination units We also visited an experimen tal station for pig breeding About animals were there under experiment for breed and feed They are fed three times a day we learned and individu al records arc kept of the pro gress of each pig Wo also had time to inspect an experimental milk processing plant It is very much like those at home and being a model plant it is just about perfect in every detail When you realize that about percent of the land here is productive and nearly percent is actually farmed it is easy to understand why there are so many experimental and demon stration farms and stations There are also many farm or ganizations such as cooperatives special societies for the stim ulation of breeding and other improvements Nearly every farmer belongs to one or more of these organizations This no doubt explains why Danish farm products arc so highly re garded During our tour we visited formerly residential town of Danish kings It poss esses a famous cathedral that dates back to the century It is so welt preserved that it was hard to believe that the main part of the sacred edifice is more than years old This stately cathedral is the seat of the bishop of Zealand who is head of the Danish state church It is quite a contrast to many of the churches in Den mark whose architecture is what you would call modernistic in design Perhaps the most fam ous is Grundtvigs church In Cop enhagen It is a large yellow brick structure and resembles a pipe organ with the banks of pipes standing out against the sky And while we are on the sub ject of churches it might interest you to know that the state church which is Lutheran is maintained by taxes This docs not bar other denominations from establishing here but they must meet their financial obligations through private contributions I think this is enough for this letter although could go on for pages about Denmark It is a fascinating country much like Canada and the Danes are very proud of it As for the Danes I must say that you could not wish to meot a better class of people The boys are quite well and we all agree that our visit here has been all too short The next letter will be from Holland Regards from all of us The Young Peoples meeting will be held on Friday evening in the church Mr and Mrs Dave Elliott arc in charge of the meeting Sunday services are Sunday school at am and church service at pm Miss Ida is convalesc ing following a tonsil

Two quilts were completed Mr and Mrs James Morris spent Sunday afternoon with Mr and Mrs Archibald of Rich mond Hill Mrs Archibald has been ill with pneumonia ANSNORVELD Rev conducted the ser vices at

observation for sev eral days I am writing this in answer to a letter that asks have I seen any cardinals around this winter No I am very sorry to say I havent Those lovely friendly birds But I did see a pretty sight the other day which inter ested me so much I want to tell about it I was going west on Millard Ave and after passing Raglan I became aware of bird voices they were all talking at once and they seemed excited yes and certainly cheerful not frightened oh but then when they are frightened they are in variably quiet and still As I approached the corner of Millard and Church where you go round the end of Church be fore you proceed up Millard Ave that awful corner I could hear it louder and louder So I very softly went across the corner to the home of Mr Edward Barker and there in a not very tall locust tree were hundreds of and were they having a grand time As I stepped near er there was a dead silence and one more step sent many of them into the tall cedars of the hedge beside the locust tree But they came back That locust tree was covered with seed pods and they were feasting to their hearts content Hated to Leave Them I hated to leave them and was still looking up enjoying the sight yes and the sound when two friends came along and ask ed What do you see Golden Glow So they saw them in a measure but not as I saw them first for many had flown up in to the cedars and stayed there I wonder how they ever found that special and how so many managed to be together to enjoy it Can they send messages to their friends or were they going somewhere in a flock Well at any rate it was my delightful privilege to be passing at that special time and see and enjoy them It has been some job with all the snow these past few days to keep my feathered friends fed The other day just after Id fed my little sparrows down swoop ed a bunch of starlings like a black cloud and started to gob ble up all the food I rapped on the window and away they went and before they renewed their attack back the sparrows came and got more or less of the food each one snatching a piece and flying off with it to eat it safely elsewhere But the squirrels have been having a fine time frisking round all winter so far but this cold snap will likely drive them into their winter homes for a while they too share the spar rows food and it is such fun to watch them No doubt whatever that
