What He Missed
Once when paddling up a swampy
creek in a canoe, I came suddenly
upon a great blue heron standing in
the middle of the stream not over
twenty feet away. What a beautiful
picture it would have made the great
blue-rgey bird standing there doubt-
less half asleep! Of cohrse, as luck
would have it, my camera Was at the
other end of the canoe, and it would
be useless to attempt to reach it
without disturbing the heron. How-
ever I had a try and as a result the
magnificent bird rose and majestically
winged his way across the marsh.
Once while on a tramp through the
bush I heard a sound of rushing water.
Upon investigation it proved to bo
a piece of "white water," a part of
some river, of which I have forgotten
the name, so swift that a canoe could
not run its rapids. It was but the
work of a moment, but I returned
home with a picture of those rapids
that was really beautiful.

Tuesdays and Fridays. If special
poultry or frozen meat days were ar-
ranged and individual retailers had
proepecte of handling a certain quart

all arrangements be made for the nee-
eseary defrosting. As there is prac-
tically no other market for frozen

aide of German life in war time. He
had a neutral friend in Berlin who
accepted the official view of conditions
and whom he desired to conduce that
the growing pressure of the British
blockade was 'not without its effect.
13o he arranged that his friend should
ahem for a time the everyday life of
a middle class German fatally living
in an elegant apartment in Charlotten-
burg. when his friend joined the
household he discovered that it was

Was more plentiful than in Berlin and
had been sent home to forage for any-
thing she could procure.
Bread But No Butter
In theomeantine the family were
doing their own foraging, and of this
thb neutral had to bear his part. Be-
fore the breakfast could be served
bread and butter and coffee had to be
bunted, He was sent out with the
bread ticket and discovered how little
bread could be procured and how long
he must wait in the queue to procure
it: There was no butter on the bread,
for the allowance :or the entire house-
hold was only an ounce. The coffee
was bitter.
He was sent to the butcher's to as-
certain whether the household's regis-
tered number was displayed in the
list of those to whom any meat allow-
ance at all could be given that day.
He found that the number was dis-
played, but when the allowance was
obtained it amounted to only half a
pound and that was to last for a
whole week. The household dined so
often on sardines that the neutral
visitor complainedr,that be could not
get the taste of Me sardines out of
Ing mouth, even on the days when
ere was meat for dinner.
Sarc:inea Everywhere
He discovered that the reason was
that the housewife, having too little
meat to roast or boil, and !saving no
butter or fat in which to fry it, had
cooked lain what remained of the sar-
dine oil of the day before. He went
to buy' eggs and found that he must
brir.g his own raper bag to carry them
home in. The t n -ca another effect

PROTECT MIGRATORY BIROS
At the North American Conserva-
tion Conference, held In Washington,
to It)09, and attende4 by repreeenta-
tivea of Canada, Newfoundland, United
Statex And Mexico, the international
problems presented by the proper pro-
tectioa of natural resources were
clearly recognized. With regard to
migratory wild life the necessity for
co-operative action is especially ob-
vious. In Canada and the United
States the protection of title invaluable
resource ie vested i,r the individual
provinces and states, respectively.
Protective laws were extremely di•
verso inboth character and efficiency,
with the result that the beneficial et-
feets of adequate protection In ono
pott.on of the continent were largely
'unified by the lack of similar meas-
ures in other sections. To secure
stricter and more uniform protection
negotiations between Canada and the
Unitett States were undertaken. The
arrangement was satisfactorily con-
cluded, the later ratification by the
United States Senate constituting the
final step. The treaty dons not Affect
the administration of the provincial
game laws, but insures in Canada, as
in the United States, the minimum of
protection regarded as essential to the
permanent preservation of the wild
life resources of North America.

Responsible for Big National Loss
At least fifty percent of the cbit:k-
ene, young ducks and turkeys and ten
percept of the adult birds die each year
from diseases, many of which are pre-
ventable. This is an annual national
loss of probably rnillions% of dollars
that could be avoided to a Iarge ex-
tent.
War conditions make it imperative
that farmers and poultrymen, as far
as possible, stop this enormous leak
and in order to aseietin this connection
Dr. Wickware suggests that every
breeder pay strict attention to the
general conditions of hie Hock in order
that any ailing birds may be immedi-
ately isolated. When anything un-
usual is noted in a fowl, it is advisable
to place the affected individual in sep-
arate quarters. If within a short time
recovery does not take place, it is un-
wise to destroy the fowl without first
ascertaining the cause of the disorder.
The prevalence of diseases is more oft-
en the cause of the poultrgkeeper'e
failure than is the lack of practical
knowledge. The extreme importance
of keeping the quarters clean; isolation
of all ailing fowls and immediate
action in regard to finding out the
cause cannot be too strongly impressed
upon poultryman.

When trouble occurs, forward to the
Biological Laboratory, Central Exper-
imental Farm, Ottawa, Ont., a live

Disinfect the poultry houses by

THE YARDS
Keep a crop growing in some part of
the yards and alternate poultry afld
drops. If the runs are small cover
with a coating of air -slaked lime and
dig up. If the .rung are too large to
dig, plough and cultivate before sow-
ing. Rape sown in the early part of
the summer, after the breeding season
or early in September snakes ti good
crop for this purpose. Rear all chicks
on fresh soil.
Although these precautions may ap-
pear unnecessary it is the only way of
combatting many disease conditions
affecting poultry, which, if left to
themaelyes will undonbetly prove de-
cidedly costly in the long run.
CUSTOMS OF BURMA
Burmese Idea of the Soul After Death
is Strange
Burma is 'the one place on earth
where the death of a man owing largo
stints of stoney is no cause for worry
to his creditors. In fact, the Bur-
mese think that a creditor has a better
chance'of recovering a debt from the
dead than from the living, provided
the deceased has relations who are
at all concerned for his welfare in
the life beyond the grave. If the debt
is not paid they believe that the dead
man will 'come into the creditor's
power as his servant, ox or clog.
The -Bn r:nese appear to have no
ideas regarding the direction of the
land of the dead, or of the country
from which the race came. The
curious custom prevails of holding a
complete funeral and burial ceremony
in the hope of deceiving the Destroy-
er, and inducing 111n1 to leave a, sick
person alone.
Ti.te Burman regards it as a matter
of course that tate soul should continue
to exist after death, and he believes
that it remains in the house, end is
cognizant of all that goes on thele,
for seven days. The bed of the de-
ceased present is laid, aed a fresh
enmity of food and water is glared by
it every morning and evening. During
the e'(ntc period hospitality is offered
to ail who conte, and monks are in.
vited to preach as welt as to eat.
.At the end of the Heves days, the
spirit departs. According• to the Bur-
nle e, he is ejected by the house -god,
liIin n3;igayi, the mighty blacksmith
who was burned alive by a king of
Tagamtg, and whose spirit watches
over every Burman household. But
during the sevmt day's he is not ab-
solt_ately confined to the house. He
nifty wander about visiting the places
he was wont to visit in life.
Three hundred million dollars is the
total value of Ontario's crop this year,
acdording to appraxit'uate etitineates of
exports of the provincial Department
of Agriculture. One.half of this is
represented in hay and one-quarter in
wheats 'barley and other swains.
