BELGIUM GIRL. WITH HANGS ON
To THE Sn17'O1t tw Tu# NM:: .t
air -,Hay 1 ask you to give a little
space in your paper to the following
r
muerte :-
Tuesday • respected citizen of this
town ezpremed to me his Jesire to help
ogle of the various funds in 000nectioo
with the war and wbich one did I
think was mostly in need. No doubt
there are many other benevolent per -
eons in the same dilemma.
My reply to the above query was,
and is, that the Belgian relief fund is
now certainly deserving of our first
consideration. Other funds have been
most generously .ubsc.ibed to. The
Canadian field force is the best paid
that will probably be at the scene of
ho..tilitiee, whilst a generous govern-
ment has seen to the needs of those
dependent on our soldier..
Therefore we should help those all
we can who have done se much to help
the Allies.
The cause of the martyrdom of Bel-
gium is known to Most of un- She Mus-
ed to allow her territ)r' to be used for
military purpos . against her friend
France by the German Kaiser. The
refusal brought upon her honor, with
which history provides us 'no parallel,
and today what a patbeuc spectacle
she presents to the world. Just a rem-
nant of her army led by gallant King
Albert at wbose side le bus brave ems-
eort, BibUng to bold the last few miles
of Belgian soil whilst the Belgian
people are scattered the world over.
How different would have been bee
tot had she basely decided to submit

tion into Canada 25 years ago. He
dwelt especially on three aspects of
the work of the league. the educe-

planned and delivered with great
power.
The next speaker was Rev. S. T.
Bartlett, of Toronto, general secretary

was "lbs Senior Grade and Its
Needs." The speaker did not bold,
very clore!y to the specific titter of his

way the subjects we,. explained.
Sheep and poultry were the two sub-
jectedealt with, by far the greatest
interest centering iu the poultry di-
vision. Models of buildings and trans-
portation facilities plalu.t7 portrayed
the right and the wrong way of hand-
ling eggs. The wrong way was shown
by the unsanitary poultry house, built
in the horn vard, where the hen• often
laid around a et raw stack. the eggs hie-
ing found after they wets weeks old
and shipped with the others.
Then there was the careless way of
handling theta in the house. Often
they were kept open or near kero.ere
and other strong smelling articles:
from there they were loaded in open
conveyances and drawn to the coun-
try store where they would be bought
in crate lots and left outside for an in-
definite period. Then on again to
the country station, where they are
again left out on the platforon In all
kind. of weather. Then with vary
rough handling they are taken to the
wholesale houses in the cities, where •
division takes place, some being sent
out uncandled to the retail stores,
while the others are candled with a re-
sult that only 33 per cent are fit to go
in the new laid clam, 401 per Dent are
stale, 17 per cent very stale, five per
cent are broken and dirty, and Beeper
cent absolutely bad. The rigbt way to
handleeggs was shown to be: have on-
ly one breed of poultry; sanitary hotmes
away from the barnyard ; the mak
birds taken away from the hens after
the 15th of June ; very careful hand-
ling of eggs, always covered ; never
lett exposed to the weather; hought
on the quality plan ; all eggs candled
with perfect satiataction to the con-
sumer.
A demonstration was given of egg
candling. A new laid egg when held
before • light should not show en air
cell larger th•o a 10 -cent piece. Rough
handling of eggs break the yolk and
the egg appear. cloudy. When blood
spots appear in the egg the only rem-
edy is to kill the hen. Dampness

have been placed upon the market,
which, under the lamp, appeared to be
entirely tbtd, but upon examination
proved to have been hailed. Some of
these were traced to producers in the
west and when asked their reasons tor
boiling the eggs they said they kept
better .bat way,
It was dated that over a million dol-
lars was lost to Canada yearly toerrl7
through letting the male birds stay
with the flock the year round.
In the sheep department, fleeces of
almost every variety of sheep were ex-
hibited in every 'mage and .procese
from the unwashed fleece as it is
taken from the sheep right up to the
finished product of woollen underwear
or worsted goods.
Two demonstrators were present to
give any informatiogl that they poa-
siblyy could and. also helped solve sone
of the difficulties of the local sheep
raisers and chicken fanciers.
