25th Anniversary Of Ordination

The 25th anniversary of his or- dimtion and of his pastoral oc- cupancy will be celebrated next month by Rev. Richard J. O'Neill, viking. Alberta. Fr. O'Neill-, a na- tive Islander, was ordained De- cember 21, 1927, and shortly after went to viking where he has been stationed ever since. The double celebration will be held April 22.

in a recent letter the Reverend Father stated that his part of Al- berta was a mixed farming area with good fertile land and excel- lent pasturage for large herds of both beef and dairy cattle. He noted that though the population consists largely of European im- migrants there is a good number or Ontario "transpla.nts" and Mar- ltimers. What pleases him is the fact that there are many Islanders nearby on the Prairies and he meets them frequently to discuss the news from home.

Father O'Neill has two brothers and a sister living in this city. They are Messrs. Frank and Char- lea O'Neill and Mrs. Mary atull, with whom his mother resides.

To Spill West?

Home Western observers specu- lated that the Rusian gestures, particularly towards Britain,might be In enort to split the Anglo- American alliance by playing one against the other.

They also speculated that the Russian moves might be prompted more by internal considerations than by any ef- fort to woo the friendship of the West.

Equipment Arrives For installation in lirieii Milk Plant

, ..... Two carloade of equipment have arrived ,in Charlottetown to be in- stalled in the new Dried Milk Plant of central Creamer-lee on Fitzroy street. The prompt ar- rival of this modern machinery ensures that production will start in the plant in April as originally planned. The list of patrons who have agreed to 'dellver whole milk to the new plant is steadily growing, and the number is now large on- ough to guarantee nmr capacity use of the plant's facilities. Many of the patrons are old associates of Central Creamerlcs who hith- erto delivered eream to the Com- pany but who have now become converted to the idea of selling whole milk. Dairy producers, it is said, will derive considerable ad- vantage from the new set-up. It is pointed out that l.l'lEy.wlll be freed from the necessity of sepa- rating the cream, a task which takes considerable time each day. Dcirymen are also pleased that under the new system it will not be necessary to -, hase expensive mechanical equipment. It is un- derstoodithat any farmer who has access to spring wiiter, a running stream, a good well, or ice, will have no difficulty in delivering his milk to the Dried Milk Plant in good 'condition. Many farmers who have given thought to the new development believe it will have l. very bracing eiiect on the

dairy business throughout the

province.

Through the discovery” of graft- ing maii has brought the lowly crab-apple tree with the sour fruit to many trees each bearing a dif- ferent kind and better tasting ap- pic. Prince Edward Islanders are for- tunate in that their drinking water lies not far below the surface of the soil. In the Canadian West, farmers have to drill wells to I depth of 500 to 1000 feet to get de- cent drinking water. Boring to such a depth costs considerable money today. But, if you lived near the chalk cliffs of France and England, you'd have to drill much deeper to get water. One well near Paris is L790 feet deep, one at Rochfort, France. is 2,765 feet deep: at Columbus, Ohio. 2.715: at Peath, Hungary, 3,182, and at St. Louis, Mo., 38-i3'.L-. Arteslan borings have been made in West Queensland 4,000 feet deep, and at Scha1de- bach, in Prussia, there is one al- most 5,280 feet.

Famous for its Bible associa- tions is "Straight Street" running through the city now called Bar- roda. This street is mentioned in the book of the Acts. IX; ll. It is about two miles long. In the days of Saul of Tarsus (later called Paul) it was one of the world's finest throoughfares. a hundred feet wide, and flanked with magni- ficent corlnthian columns.

The position of the queen cells iii a hee-hive is always vertical, while that of the drones and work- ers is horizontal.

The feeding of geese and tur- keys by forced feeding was prac- ticed by the early Romans who en- joyed the over-sized livers which were produced in this way.

Noodling is one of the best methods of forced feeding. It con- sists of feeding the fowls -with noodles which are St grain mixture. moistened with water, and formed into links in a sausage machine.

Links as long as four inches can be forced down the birds throat by hand, in a carefully stepped-up feeding schedule. Livers weighing as much as three pounds are ob- tained in this way.

A new kind of fuel oil has been used successfully in India to drive liigh-speed diesel tractors. And. strange but true, this oil is derived from the lowly peanut.

I don't suppose many Prince Ed- ward Island farmers would be in- terested in going into snake farm- ing, but believe me, its a paying business though no doubt a creepy one. There is one or more sizable snake homes in Florida but the one I am going to tell you about is the Doonside snake Farm on the. South Coast, Natal, South Africa. There are over 10,000 deadly snakes on this unique farm where every comfort is provided, though of course, they are kept confined, each kind being segregated in its own garden sanctuary.
