At the Presbyterian church next
Sunday a service will be held in
honor of our mothers. Everyone

mother in the world, is asked to join
in the observance. The object is to
brighten the lives for mothers and
make them more hunored, loved and
protected by their children; to re-
mind sens and daughters O. the un-
selfish devotion Of their mothers.
Every person is asked to wear a
white carnation in honor of mother
and as a badge of love and loyalty
Also to give q. white flower to some
other person. The white carnation
is preferred because it may typify
mother love; it's color standing for
purity; it's flower for beauty; its
lasting quality for faithfulness: its
vide growth; charity.
Show your mother some special
kindness on this day in words of
affection and appreciation by a gift
or visit or by letter of love if
absent from her. If she is not living
bless the life Of some other mother
in memory of her.
DR.. Sloane will preach on "Ou1
Mothers, God Bless Them>'' The

STEER FEEDING.
Best Rations For Beef Making and
For Show Animals.

For Show Animals.
BY FRASER MLAIN.
1t seems to be pretty generally con-
ceded that breeding has strong influ-
ence on the chances for profit in feed
ing steers. The more perfectly the
breeding stock fills the beef type the
greater are the proba bilities of profit in
its progeny. At the same time it is not
to be denied that good feeding is half
the battle, and the most typically beef
animals can be brought in debt to the
feeder by bad management, while poor
er stock by careful treatment can bts
made to win out.
! The art Of beef making nowhere gets
| more painstaking attention than in
Greay Britain, and Caaaada follows
| closely in the same line. At the ex-
pertinent station OF Canada after tests
that made use of practically every
available feed, both rough and concen-
trated,, the. following conclusion wss
reached:
For Ro41giiage-Corn ensifage, mar:
