OTTAWA REPORTS On The Marketing of Poultry And Feeding of Dairy Cows The demand for dressed poultry ~= is greater now than ever, accord- J \ ow glo the Dominion Department af Agriculture, In making this statement the Department warns that the successful marketing of birds this fall depends on better quality and on not overloading the poultry-killing plants at any 'one time. {foo many low grade birds have been coming on the market, 'but the farmers can prevent this, Top grade birds just don't happen and even when they come from good stock they will not be top grade without special feeding. . . . Greater success in marketing will be had: by poultry producers if they work more closely with . Processors. Many killing plants * have a shortage of skilled labour and may be unable to accept all unexpected deliveries of. live birds. Bome processers are now handling three times 'as much poultry as they did a year ago and will probably; be able to process the entire fall crop it it 1s not un- loaded on them all at once, It ia suggested - that farmers sell their poultry to the processing plant or dealer with whom they ordin- arily deal. It this dealer should refuse to take their bids then an- other should be tried. LJ . . The birds should be offered to a dealer seeral days in advance of the proposed shipping date so that he may fit them into his kill- ing schedule. Should all dealeis refuse accommodation, and this Is unlikely, then farmers should join with thelr neighbours in killing and dressing thelr poultry on the rR -tarm, Best results will be obtained ARMY'SWOMAN - LAWYER Major Fatrich Curtis, C.W.

One of the trickiest- jobs on a dairysfarm is to raise dairy cows ° 80 that they will attain thelr growth properly and be nelfther _ stunted nor too fat. The thrifty herd owner will endeavour to cb- tain this objective at the lowest possible cost. A common feeding practice among_successful dairymen fs to feed the calf whole milk for the first three or four weeks of Its life. According to a Dominion De- partment of Agriculture livestock official, the rate of feeding Is generally a pound of milk for ev- ery ten pounds of calf. For a 76- pound calf this would be about three-quarters of a, gallon a day. After the calf is a' few days old it should be encouraged. to_nibble at whole oats and Olea, well- cured Mey: 3 L . When he calf is three or four weeks old, skim milk may grad- ually be substituted for the whole milk over a perlod of from two weeks to a month. When calves are from six to eight weeks old "they should be getting only skim milk. The amount of skim milk * Increases with the growth of the. calf but should never exceed 25 pounds or 21; gallons a day, To make tp for the lack of fat previously supplied in the whole ~ milk, ground flaxseed" or oll eake' will give beneficial results. After #ix weeks on the skim milk diet guantity may be reduced, with grain taking its place. With a good start the calf will' then con- tinue without loss in weight.

Mark 1: 15 MEMORY VERSE---| love thee, 0 Jehovah, Psalm 18 : 1. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.~The ministry of John the Baptist occurred, for the most part, In the summer of A.D. 26. The baptism of our Lord occurred in January, A.D, 27, and His temp- tation, in January and February of that year, The events recorded in this lesson following His temp- tation, did not occur until a year: later, in April, AD. 28. Place,--The ministry of John the Baptist, and our Lord's temp- tation, both occurred in the wild. erness of Judaea. The Paptism of * Christ took place at the Jordan River, the exact spot, however, being unknown to us. The first disciples and the first teaching of our Lord took place In and near Capernaum, on the sea of Galilee, = 'The Final Preparation "And it came to pass in those days that Jesus.came from Nagz- areth of Qalilee, and was baptized of John In the Jordan, and slraightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him: and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased. And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness. And he was In the wilderness forly days tempted of Satan; and he was! with the wild beasts; and the angels minister- ed unto him." Everyone asks the question, Why was Jesus baptized? It is true Jesus had no sins to he forgiven but He submitted to baptism for a number 'of reasons. 'First, no doubt, it gave divine approval to the baptizing ministry of John the Baptist. Secondly, it testified to the reality of the need of man- kind in general, of a turning from sin and a washing away of sin, In: the third place, He was bap- __ilzed as a part of His humiliation, as a part of His identification with humankind, and His participation in all the needs, the limitations and acts of men, sin apart. The dove speaks of peace, and gentleness, and purity, character- istics surely of our Lord during His years of labor among men. Satan is' here revealed, as else- where in the Bible, not as an in- fluence but as a person, an in- dividual, of supernatural power, though not omnipotent. He hates God. He tries in every way to lead men into sin, to prevent God from saving men, to spoil the lives of men, and to thwart the purposes of Cod. If Satan at this hour could have led Christ in any way to sin, then the gospel story would 'be over before it had hardly be- gun. No doubt the ministry of the angels took place at the end of the temptation, Probably they brought Him food, after Satan had left, and strengthened Him in other ways whon the tempta- tions had been resisted. The temp- tatlons were real, Satan was real, the victory was real. , First Preaching of Jesus "Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came Into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and belleve 'in the gos- pel" Christ now asked men to turn to God, to belleve He had come from God, to repent of their sins, to live godly lives.

What now happens is that Christ asks them actually to leave their work and to literally go with Him, later devoting their lives to the proclamation of the gospel which He came fo establish. Christ's First Teaching "And they go to Capernaum; and straightway. on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. And they were aston- | 1shed at his teaching: for: he taught them as having authority,' and not as the scribes." It Is not indicated in this pass. age what our Lord taught, The jmportant thing is the result of his teaching, namely, astonish. ment on the part of the assembled listeners, who here was one who taught with an authority which the scribes did not possess. The scribes, the doc- tors of the Jaw, spent their time in setting before their audience numerous quotations and opinions from the learned rabbis, of their own and preceding days. They did not speak with any authority of their own, but they supported their Interpretations by the auth- ority of recognized scholars, Our Lord spoke out of His heart, out of the fullness of His knowledge, with an' authority born of omnis- clence, an authority arising from a complete and perfect experience: ot Tite, an authority derived from the fact that He had actually, from all eternity, lived with God the Father.
