adopt scientific methods, and as q re-
suit, careful seed selection, proper ro-
tation and summer fallow is the order
Of the day. Under the favorable con-
ditions generally anticipated, prospects
point to an all round increase in pro-
duction that VIII leave a great deal
Of money in the hands of the western
farmer this year, and prosperity for
Western Canada as a whole. 1t win be
years before Europe will make up ar
rears in agricultural production,
caused by the enforced idleness and
wholesale destruction, and Western
Canada Will play a big part In filing
the void.
The result of the continued shortage
In cattle, the future price Of beef and
the solution of the perplexing problem
of feeding the world are vital Ques-
lions uppermost In the minds Of many
thinking people today.
There Is no doubt. that the wide
acres Of Western Canada can, and will,
be made to play an important part In
bringing about a proper balance in
supply and demand. In the northern
parts Of Manitoba and Saskatchewan
and In Alberta are many thousands
of acres of the richest pasture In the
world, well watered and treated by the
sunniest Of climates. These rolling
hills for the greater part are still I'M
peopled and u%ntrodden by the hoofs
of domestic animals. "
One Of the causes assigned for the
decline In stock-raising is the reduc-
ton in the areas available for grazing
on account of so many big ranches be-
ing converted into farms. Expert
ments conducted, at Vermilion, Al
berta, would rather go to show that
the old grazing grounds were too large,
and that the feeding is really better
when the animal is confined to a COM
paratIvely limited area, providing the
pasturage Is Of the right kind and
there Is plenty Of water.--Advertise-
ment. " g. ,,'.

In French and In English.

From the Spokane Spokesman-Revtew.
An amusing verbal war has arisen over
the ~propriety, meaning and extent Of the
French phrase. Mon Dieu!'' No two
interpreters appear to be able to agree.
The phrase In English would be MY
God!" but the shades OF association con-
nected with the French form and with
the English form differ SO broadly that
exactly equivalent expressions and usages
of the phrase are difficult to reach. In
French II may be an innocent exclama-
ton. but In English speaking lands 1t
ma be" fiat ~blasphemy, The variance
seems to spring from the varying reli-
gious experiences of France and England
after the Protestant reformation. In me-
dieval Europe tho presence and action Of
God In the religious plays h~abituated the
p~opulace to speak OF Him quite famil-
iarly, and the sense Of reverence for His
name grew faint. In England, however,
on account Of the influence OF Puritan
ism and then Of Methodism, a great rev.
erence for His name arose., n use OF
the term my Cod" became distasteful
