The Wandering Festival

Easter is late this year; almost as late as it can be I_ surmise. When 1 was a, lad I memorized the current rule for Easter in this WHY; "Eilslfil Sunday is the first Sunday after tl-O first Full Moon on or alter the 21st of March" -n1w latter. yvu will note, being the date of the 8W1"! Equinox. The connection with the Moon and the Equinox marks the

Spring festival of tho Norsemen who at that point of time worshipped the goddess Eostre. It may also be more than s historical colnuldcflw that the Christian Easter almost precisely coincides with the Hebrew “Feast of the Passover " Such are the old traditions that lie behind the wandering festival. Getting back to the rule. I am uzzled, for on reference to "The Observer's Handbook for 1943." I find that Full moon was on‘ March 21st. at 17.08 o'clock! And yet {Easier is late; Defhflpg the differ- e-cnce in time zones has somethinfl ito do with it. The P. E I Agriculturlst glvu mother rule which works out ut- isfactorily: “The " ‘dell 0f N160 , (the ancient Nico: Asiatic Tur- 'key) ruled that _- followed the

14th day of the moon after the Vernal Equinox (March 21). This year the 14th day of the moon

(April 18) falls on s Sunday. which

The rules for finding the time of Easier once gave rise to n. fam- ous dispute, according to Bede’: "Ecclesiastical History 0f the E08- lish Nation " The ancient kingdom of Northumbrla living between the Plumber and the Tweed) had been converted to Christianity by mis- sionaries from Scotland. Now the Scottish bishops "kept Easter Sunday contrary to the custom of the uni- versal church." St Bede means by this that they kept Easter at a different date from that on which hisown church of Rome kept it. King Oswy, being converted from paganism, kept the day according to the custom of his Scottish bishops and for l time s11 went well Oswy, however. married a Kentish prin- cess who observed the day "in the Cathoifc mode.’ as Bede says;

it came to pass that Easter

é

when the King having ended his fasting and kept his mater. the Queen and her ladies were still fut- lng and celebrating Palm Sunday. This went on foir is time, tolerated by all, till the mild old Bishop an died and was succeeded by Bishop Finim. whom St. Bede calls "a professed opposer of the truth, being of a hot and violent temper.”

Finan had died and his lplace was filled by Bishop Colman who declared that the Scots kept Easter according to the ruls "which St. John the Evangelist . . . , recorded to have observed.” Furth- ermore, Colman rejoined, Father Columbia (the first of the Scottish Blsfiopsl kept Easter after the lfrid who opposed ubties, these men they were small in number, in u corner of s remote island: and not to be preferred be- fore the universal church of Christ in the whole world.

Dried-on milk. or milk stone should be scrubbed off with fine steel wool. and the utensils kept free from th=s condition by being washed at once after using. before the milk has s chance to dryion. Rinse with cold or lukewarm water. then scrub all surfaces with a brush-u cloth will not do the loll properly. Use wash- ing soda or othcr cleanser in hot water. It is better than soap and will rinse off more easily. A final rinse with clean hot water will warm up the metal of the can so ihat it. will drv out more quickly- Do not use a cloth which may only recontcmlnate the utensils. but place them upside down on a drain- ing rack to dry. A screened rack ex- posed to the sun ls very useful to hasten drying.

Iron ls Essential

There is usually no need to sti- mulate milk production by heavy feeding of the 50W for a. week 0r ten days after farrowing. During the first day the sow should be given tepid water or skim milk onl .

The proportion of protein. minerals and vitamins in the ow’s feed should be increased while nursing.

METHODS OF CONTROL OF WARBLE FLIES

The most satisfactory method of warble fly control is the destruction‘ of the {rubs after they reach the backs o cattle in spring and early summer by means of a. Wash con- taining derris or cube powder, made from the ground-up roots of certain species of tropical plants containing an insecticide calld rotenonc. The rubs may also be re- moved b him , but. as pointed out by_ the gricult ral Supplies Board

In addition Erbun is highly re- sistant to both loose and covered smut. Vanguard on ihe other hand. is not resistant to leaf rust but has high resistance to stem rust. Be- cause stem rust is not often severe in this province Vanguard has not become widely distributed but it ls possible that in some areas where stem rust is known to be prevalent this variety would be valuable. Both Erban and Vanguard have a moderately thin hull usually about

People are learning that total war which came to this generation requires all-out production of es- sentials. The interrelation of (new essentials change as the war pro- ceeds. They changed quickly in the need for men and guns, ships and planes, tanks and food, when France fell; ill the need for rubber. hemp and oils, after Pearl Har- bour. When war broke out. Canada had large surpluses of food. and food, an essential in war. seemed to hold a minor place with the appeal from Britain confined largely to such products as bacon and cheese. Among war essentials today. food hag reached the forefront. Trans- portation Ls a critical problem 50 food must be processed to occupy the least space imc weight, und dehydration of vegetables is now necessary to supply the food re-- quired for victory. Among such vegetables suitable for dehydration the value of the parsnip deserves careful consideration. _ The parsnip is n. native of Eur- ope. The Romans ranked it high amon their edible plants.
