ASK FOR HANDBILL CANADIAN NATIONAL Wolves pay Visit KINCARDINE—Wolves have been sighted in Port Elgin district, ac­ cording to information received here At least two have been seen by resi­ dents there and efforts are being made to bag them. It is the first time in years that wolves have come so far south, though each winter some are kinown to be in the Bruce Peninsula. Extreme cold weather is thought to have driven them down along the lake. The Measurement of Fuelwood Finds Butterfly GRAND. BEND — Harold Nichols a school boy here, brought a live butterfly into the school room. Though, chilled, it revived under the influence of the heat, and is quite lively in its glass container. Fuelwood is- sold by the cord or by the wagon box load. A standard cord is a pile of wood 4 feet high, 4 feet wide and 8 inches in length, giving a total volume of 128 cubic feet. The amount of solid wood in a cord varies considerably. Crooked sticks, small diameter of the sticks, loose piling and prominent knots are common characteristics that reduces the volume of solid wood in a cord. It is customary in many localities to sell wood by short, face or run­ ning cord. A short cord of wood is a pile 4 feet high. 8 feet long and 12, 14 or* 16 inches in width depend­ ing on the market requirements. A standard cord of 4 foot wood is equal to 4 cords of 12 inch wood or 3 cords of 16 inch wood, although a standard cord will seldom give 4 cords of 12 inch wood because shorter sticks pile closer. full the Tobacco Production Tobacco production in Canada reached an all time high in 1935. The crop last year amounted to more than 55 million pounds and was 45 per cent, greater than that of 1934. The tolbacco growing industry in this country has made rapid strides over the past fifteen years, especially in Ontario, where 85 per cent of the areas of i Quebec crop is produced. Other i production are located in and in British Columbia. The quality of the 1935 reported as excellent “With, provement in general economic con­ ditions and a closer co-operation be­ tween growers and purchasing com­ panies in the marketing, and produc­ tion of flue-cured and Burley tobac­ cos, the price situation is much im­ proved over 1933, particularly in Ontario,” states the “Agricultural Situation and Outlook” for 1936. Authorities feel, however, that in the case of flue-cured tobacco the probable demand in 1936 does not call ’for 'any increase in acreage over that of 1935. Although, the acreage devoted to Burley in 1935 was not as large as anticipated, an increase of over 10 per cent, in ac­ reage of this type, does seem to be warranted for 193i6. Other types of tobacco appear to have reached a satisfactory acreage based on pres­ ent consumption figures. crop is an ini- cooking, sewing and art will also be open to students.

Large numbers of parents and friends of the students will come to inspect the exhibits and to watch the judging in the pavilion. An invitation is also extended to the students of the High Schools and Collegiates interested in this work. The coveted award of “Grand Champion Showman” brings forth outstanding work by a large number of young men who- have had exper­ ience with stock and who seek the favorable decision of the judges. The competition this year promises to be keener than that of any other Show. of more interest and assist- both public and the students the College Royal. March 4, the outstanding day on the Wood Versus Coal for Fuel In localities where there are large areas of woodland within trucking distance the householders in villages and towns could often save money by using wood rather than coal for fuel. They would also help the farmer and their town as the farmer would have a market for a" product which oherwise is often unsaleable and the town merchants would benefit as the farmer would have this extra money to purchase groc­ eries, dry goods, hardware and shoes Coal has replaced wood as fuel to a large extent in many towns, vil­ lages and there are also a large number of farmers who burn. coal. Various reasons are responsible for this substitution. In too many sec­ tions the farmers and residents of villages have no other alternative as most of the land has been cleared and there is no wood for sale. Many purchase coal rather than wood because they have a much bet­ ter idea what they are buying. Many have a very hazy idea of the heat­ ing value of a cord of wood com­ pared to a ton of coal. Also they realize that different species .differ very greatly in heating qualities the amount of variation is known. SHIP CAR, OF HONEY FROM BRUCEFIELD Was Coldest Day was sun av as GODERICH—Although there no sign of a breeze and the shone brightly all day. Saturday the coldest day experienced in God­ erich. During the night the mer­ cury sank to 11 below zero and at 9 o’clock in the morning the official temperature was ‘five below, Early in the morning the tree tops were white with frost and clouds of frost hovered over the streets. Is Spring Coining? PARKHILL—‘Spring is just around the corner. A fat eight-pound groundhog after wa'k/ing from his long winter sleep, still drowsy, was picked up by C.N.R. section men a few miles west of here Saturday and brought into, the station. He was quite numb from the cold as weath­ er here Saturday was the coldest of the year. He soon showed some real action after sitting, by a stove for a while. ODD MOMEW To jnoftt of us 'the odd moments is a thing of na importance. Every day, we suppose, there are millions of odd moments permitted to slip away, un­ heeded and unused, into the forgot­ ten spaces of time. Sa it may be interesting to recall what men and women of a different calibre have accomplished with the odd moment. The odd moments were apparent­ ly the busiest in the livest of out­ standing citizens. There was Mar­ tin Luther, for instance, who pub­ lished almost an entire library of books, Asked how he had time to translate the Bilble in addition to his other work he said: “I do a little every day.” John Bunyan improved minutes that would otherwise have been wasted by writing “Pilgrim’s. Pro­ gress” during his imprisonment in Bedford jail. Similiarly, imprisoned in the Tow­ er of London set Sir Whiter Raleigh writing, “The History of -the World” a standard work; for all time. Kikle White learned the Greek nouns and verbs while going to and from a lawyer’s office. Dr, Burney, famous musical au­ thor, learned the French and Ital­ ian languages while travelling on horseback from one pupi'l to another Harriet Beecher .Stowe wrote many a word of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” while waiting for bread to brown in the oven- Thomas A. Edison, the wizard of electricty, converted odd moments into a busy moment to the benefit of the world. 'There is no limit to> the value of the.odd moment in the hands of those people who use it. Yet the most of us, contemplating the odd moment, c'an say with the old copy­ book maxim: “Lost, .between sun­ rise and sunset, sixty golden min­ utes, set with sixty golden seconds. They can never be replaced.” Toronto Daily Star and The Times-Advocate .................$7.J5 The Globe and The, Times-Advocate ................................. 6.75 The Mail and Empire and The Times-Advocate............. 6-75 The London Advertiser and The Times-Advocate ....... 6,75 The London Free Press and The Times-Advocate ........ 6.75 The Family Herald & Weekly Star and Times-Advocate 3.00 Canadian Home Journal and The Times-Advocate Canadian Magazine and The Times-Advocate The Chatelaine ;and The Times-Advocate .......

From this simple calculation you will know how many can be housed satisfactorily, there­ fore you will require 2 1-2 to 3 times, that number of chicks, to have the desired number of pullets in the fall,-for half will be cockerels, to be marlkleted in the most profitable manner, leaving the other half pul­ lets, to be culled before going into laying quarters, Arrange to give the chicks plenty of room, in the brooder house—a colony house 10x12 will hold 300 chicks nicely. (Be sure the colony house is cleaned thoroughly before putting your chicks in it. First— scrap -and sweep all parts of it and dll the equipment, then scrub the floor with h!ot lye solution—a 1-4 lb. tin of lye to one 12 quart pail of hot water. (Wear • rubber boots and heavy gloves when doing this). After .cleaning move the colony ground, that is, chicks have not been ranged for at leas't two years, and where no poul­ try manure has been spread within that time. If clean ground is not available’, let the chicks out (dur­ ing nice warm weather) on 1-2 inch mesh wire platforms, suspended 1 foot above the ground. Where there is any danger of soil contamination feed all mash and Scratch grain in troughs, and move the feeders trough and drinkers the length of themselves in a circle around the house and so avoid as far as possible any chance of .the growing chicks becoming infested with internal parisites and coccodio- ■sis. ,Do not allow old hens to range with growing chicks as they are of­ ten means of spreading infection from place to place. The College Royal Show On Wednesday, March 4th, 193 6, the twelfth annual College Royal Show will be held at the Ontario Agricultural 'College. Under the leadership of W. C.
