sows for breeding purposes others do not give the jiare and management which is required to supply the needs k the pregnant sow the result is that at farrowing time thousands of farmers see their possible profits vanish when their sows produce uneven litters frequently few in number ana lacking strengutahrl vigor only sows that are typical of the breed and typ to which they belong which produce good strong litters and which e good milkers and good mothers should be retained in the herd replenish the herd with offspring from such proven mothers by selecting the gilts that are well developed and which have fair depth and plenty of constitution com bined with smoothness and reasonable length then in choosing the boar to mate with the sows he should be not only well bred and of the bacon type but should be a masculine active individual of good quality with a strong constitu tion and as much length and depth of side as possfiile the gilts selected for breeding purposes should not be bred too young because the young sow will not usually have suf ficient strength and vitality to withstand the heavy drain on her system resulting from her own growth and the production of a strong healthy litter experience at the dominion experimental station lacombe alberta indicates that gilts should not be bred until they are at least eight months eld and well developed for their age the very young sow is seldom able to raise a fairsized litter of pigs and if she raises only a few pigs in her first litter the mammary glands do not develop properly and as a consequence subsequent utters will suffer all of which tends to deplete her future usefulness though the sew need not be fat she should be full of viality and thriving at the time she lsbred in many cases litters are small and weak simply due to breeding the sow too soon after wean ing a large litter or when in too thin condition the reports of the spies golden text jehovah is the strength of my life of whom shall i be

deut 1 2123 jehovah bade moses to send men to spy out the land but it was only after the people suggested it this act of unbelief led to others that cost israel fofty years outside of canaan wandering

seek to discourage the hearts of the people they go far more into detail about the bad features than about the good they had very sharp eyes for the discouraging points unbelief always has they had carefully noted every difficulty and could rattle off the frightful names of the five mighty races that lay in their way it was to be expected that there would be difficulties in the way god had told them that at the start ex 13 5 but there was no reason for being at all disturbed at these great difficulties for god had also told them that he would give them the land and drive out all these

out of the land to day out of a canaan experience instead of a wilderness experience out of a life of plenty and victory instead of a life of poverty and failure in their unbelief they went so far as to contradict their own former statement about the land unbelief is full of contradictions and misrepresentations note the exaggera tion all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature unbelief la famous at exaggerating difficulties they exaggerated their sizes as well as then- number v 33 perhaps they were only grasshoppers in their own sight for un believers are very small very small too in the sight of their enemies but to the eye of faith even the giants are grasshoppers in comparison with god isa 40 18 22 they saw only the giants and sons of anak caleb looked right over

direction for a short distance constituting the boundary between canada and the unit ed states but mainly located entirely in canadian territory tq grasp iw real significance however it must be thought of in conjunction with the great lakes ontario erie huron michigan and superior and their connecting rivers so oonceived the st lawrence is found to be one of the really great rlvere of the world draining the largest freshwater bodies on the face of the glove furnish ing immense quantities of power and serving a population of many millions of people with its tributaries it drains an area of 498000 square miles a terri tory more than 10 times the size of the state of new york the river itself was first explored by samuel champlaln in 1603 and in 1608 this exphrer founded the city of quebec choosing a- rocky promontary which com manded the river and which has been not inaptly called the gibraltar of am erica champlaln also selected the site of he present city of montreal in 1611 on- an island formed by the junction of the ottaws river with the st lawrence he could however scarcely have foreseen that montreal a thousand miles from the open sea would three hundred years later be the second greatest port of north america with a population of approxim ately one million sculs the harbor of montreal although 1000 miles from the sea is within shorter sailing distance of the markets of great britain and europe than 1c new york immediately above montreal however the real physical difficulties of heavy- draught navigation on the st lawrence are found in the lachine section there is a drop of fortyeight feet in twenty- three miles above that comes the sohlanges section with a fall of eighty- three- feet in eighteen miles lake st francis then presents twentysix miles of smooth water but above that again comes the international rapids section where in fortyeight miles there is a fall of ninetytwo feet works already carried out provide navigation for vessels of fourteenfoot draught from this difficult area the canadian government has just recently completed a canal for heavy- draught vessels connecting lake ontario with lake erie and the largest lake boats are now able to navigate from the bead of lake superior to the lower end of lake ontario with the completion of the proposed works on the st lawrence a channel for heavydraught navigation will be
