Poultry know the time of day when it is customary to feed them, and, perhaps, equally aa well all other daily tasks. They re- spond fairly well to the bond of syin- pathy of the feeder, If the feeder rushes'into,, the pen and throws the feed around the poultry usually rush` out of the way or out of the doors if they can get there. Fright reduces egg production.. Particularly nervous liens, when badly frightened, some- times, ome-times• cease laying for several days. The: person caring for the poultry should be fond of them and take an interest in them,. One's interest us- ually goes up or' down with the pro- duction of the flock. To maintain keen interest when the production is. low, or when -the .flock is out of con- dition, is the real -test, If you hold on` and stn"dy the flock, generally speaking, you will succeed. 4 change of attendants, even When. both are good at the work,, nearly alwaysuaeans a decrease in produc- tion for some days. The careful feeder knows just about what this or that flock requires as to quantity of feed, etc., and further, he or she usually goes- about the work on' a• definite plan so that in;,time the birds know just what to expect, not only, as to time and quantity of feed giv- en, but the movements of the atten- dants in"the pen. The writer ventures to assert that if the poultry on the farms of' On- tario "were, on each farm, given over to one person to look, after, that there would be a very great increase in the success of the undertaking as well' as a very large increase in the production; even as much as twenty- five per cent. in many instances. Noline of live stock responds more to careful attention' than poultry. The boy or girl on the farm can learn much of how to feed and what to feed. They may learn something of the problems in breeding. Successful poultry-keepers,know that there, is a time' to hatch' and roar, a time to cull, a time to sell, a time to• clean and disinfect, as well es a time to feed. Plenty of farmersare making !honey from poulcry, but they know poultry does well only when 'given careful and systematic attention.-- Prof. ttention.—Prof. W. 11. Graham,•'O. A. College, Guelph. Principles of Electric Lighting. In the year 1800, Volta,' a famous [Milan 'physicist, discovered that if a plate of copper and one of zinc were placed in weak 'sulphuric acid, and .. -connected by a wire above . the • acid, there was transmitted along the wire a certain amount of energy, which transmission we speak of as a current of electricity, 'comparing it to a'cur•rent of water. As it requires pressure or head to make water flow, so it requires electric pressure to make electricity flow. The pressure of the simple cell described above is called a volt, in' honor of its dis- coverer. A dynamo generating 32 volts would have a pressure equal to that of 32 simple cells. `'Electric energy passing through fine wires will heat them white hot;• hence electricity may be used for lighting. Current for this purpose usually has 'a pressure' of 110 volts, when supplied "by light and power companies but private plants usually generate only about 32 volts. „All current generated by dynamos is al- ternating when made, i.e., it flows in one direction for half a revolu- tion of 'the dynamo and then in the opposite direction during the other half, but by fitting the dynamo with,. a commutator" (which means chang- er) these waves of current may all be sent in the same direction along the distribution:. lines. It is then called direct' current or D.C. Now alternating current; or A.G., may be used for lighting, ` just as well as D.C. If the alternations are very rapid the : light is perfectly. steady, but if too,. slow the lights will fluctuate- in brightness, and the is hard on the eyes. Many lightand power companies supply A.C. However, A.C. cannot be used to charge storage cells and hence pri- vate plants which usually have stor- age . batteries must be of the D.C. 'variety. This is also true of lighting systems for automobiles. One-horse power will run 30 ordi- nary tungsten lamps, each giving from. 23 to 24 candle-power, while if they are nitrogen filled each lamp will give about 45 c.p., hence it would take only about half as many to give the same light aS before.. • As the ordinary farm°probably would not re- quire More than, say, four lights on. an average of two hours per day, tak- ing the whole year round,' it is easily seen that the amount of power re- quired is very small. The outlay for, wiring the buildings varies a great deal with circumstances, but probably $100 would be a fair average, • Where ,one is too fir` from the ` distribution.^ lines of any existing power he install a small, w P r. may Y plant of his own. The original cost of these Will run from $30.0 to $500, depending on size and type, and the interest on '`this " amotunt -would ` be the largest part -of the cost off lig ht °for the'farm, the cost of running :the* plant being only a few cents per day, —R.

The Hospital for Sick Children TORONTO d War -Laid Heavy Hand on Children] Charity. Dear ' Mr. Editor:— The annual report of the Hospital for Sick_Children, Toronto, marks a new record, despite' the heavy handi- cap the war placed upon its work. The -task of ministering to the"suf- fering youngsters of this province was no Tight one in view of the Hospital's splendid response -to the national call 25 doctors and 43 nurses from its forces have 'seen service overseas.; - Yet the number of patients treated Is 5,048, or 1,308 more than.last year. Of these in -patients, ..759 were from 266 places :outside of Toronto.. The tireless efforts of the staff made possible also'.a reduction in the • average length of `stay necessary .for the little patients from 24 days in 1914 to 14 this year. These results show that the Hos- pital has, again pair', to the children rich dividends of health upon the in- vested kindness of its supporters,'' There has been careful, stewardship of the funds entrusted to the hospital. There has been saving—alntosr scrimp- ing—in' every direction except where it would prevent the hospital's sooth- ing the suffering or shortening the sickness of one child. The daily cost of operation was:held at the lowest point which- would still allow the children entrusted to the Hospital to get the hest anFri+'nine and the h'st ht' care. And yet so tsigu°has risen tue cosi of every Item in the Hospital's budget -in labor, in fuel, in. feed', and, above all, in medical ,supplies—that the mini mune expense of taking care, of ene child for one day hes risen frr,r, $2.34 back in 1014 to e$ 21% in. 918: Of that, $1.68%—the amount per patient per day that the official Government grants do not cover --must come from,' voluntary contributions, During the past four years debts were incurred to the: extent of 000,: which the Trnstees felt. assured would be wiped out' by the public as soon as the war - drew to its close, and those heavy demands ceeeesenefter l`r have been ,made upoh then rosin , of the loyal ' peopIF,H tf='th1s „°province The bine has, noe - come when''it ie ne- cessary to make known the llospitalfs dire need of.flnancis assistance.
