POULTRY
To anyone who has not carefully
followed the direction of poultry
development in Canada, an understand-
ing of the status which the poultry
industry hasnow reached must con-
stitute a distinct surprise, Whether
viewed from the standpoint of the
farmer or of the produce trade, it is
now one of the best organized and most.
progressive of any of our live stock
industries, Co-operation amongst
farmers in marketing is improving the
product and realizing for them a higher
price than they have hitherto been able
to obtain. The re -organization of
methods by the trade is providing
against loss in handling, is assuring to
the consumer a better article and
establishing our export business upon a
firm basis.
It is estimated that Canada and Cuba,
during the last twenty years, received
from the United States about three-
fourths of all the eggs exported by that
country during that period. This
situation, however, has now changed..
As against the importation in 1913 of
13,240,111 dozen, we imported in 1915
not more than 3,783,952 dozen, On the
other hand, while in 1913 we exported
only 147,149 dozen, in 1915 we exported
7,898,322 dozen, This constitutes a net
increase in production, in two years, of
at least 17,100,000 dozen. Practically
all of these exports went to the United
Kingdom.
Notwithstanding the surplus in
Canada which these figures indicate,
prices during March, April and May
have remained at an extraordinarily
high level. For the first quarter of the
year 1916, the price to producers, selling
co-operatively, has been at least 4eents
in advance of the price received, for the
same period, in 1915. For the month
of March, it was at least 5 cents in
advance and for the month of April at
least 3 cents in advance of last year's
price for these respective months.
The demand for eggs for local con-
sumption, for storage purposes and for
immediate export, has rarely been ' so
keen as at the present moment. This
situation is clearly reflected in the
prices juot quoted. Heavy domestic
consumption in the face of the high
price for meats, partly explains this
condition. Confidence in the export
demand, on the part of the produce
trade, confirms it from another
direction. Notwithstanding 'the in-
creased production, the egg and poultry
business in Canada is in a very strong
position at the present time.
Under these circumstances, we be-
lieve that it will be a very wise practice
to raise as many chickens as it is
possible or practicable to handle.
Early hatched chicks make good winter
layers. Rough grains will probably be
produced in abundance in Canada this
year and the feeding of poultry at a
profit should be materially assisted
from this source. Eggs at winter prices
are a paying proposition, in any event.
Poultry, alive or dressed, under present
and prospective market conditions, can
unquestionably be reared and finished
at a decided profit. A good flock of
poultry, if carefully handled, will serve
to prevent waste on the farm and
promote economy in living expenses,
such as is particularly necessary when
all farm products are becoming so
marketable and so dear.

trio Acid Suffering,
Uric acid is an accumulation of poison
which finds lodgment in the system
when the kidneys fail to remove it from
the blood. In the kidneys and bladder
it forms stones, in the joints and
muscles it causes;;rheumatism. In any
case the pain and suffering is almost
beyond human endurance. Uric acid is
promptly removed from the system
when the kidneys are kept healthy and
active by using Dr. Chase's Kidney -
Liver Pills.
HOW THE ARMY IS OFFICERED
AND DIVIDED
The following answer in reply to a
query concerning the names, duties,
etc., of the officers of an army will per-
haps be of general interest:
The men who have positions in
the army are divided in two classes,
those who have commissions from the
government and those who have no
such commissions. The first class
are generally known under the title
of officers and the second class as
non-coms. or non-commissioned of-
ficers. The highest non-com. ranks
below the lowest commissioned offi-
cer. The non-coms. are in order of
superiority, corporal, sergeant, quart-
ermaster sergeant, company serg-
eant major, battalion sergeant ma-
jor. A corporal is, as the usual
thing, a section commander. In this
position he has control of a group
of from twelve to sixteen men. He
is supposed to look after them, to
see that they keep their clothing and
accoutrements in good order and that
anything damaged is mended be-
fore an inspection, that they are
dressed properly when going on parade.
In action itis his business to lookafter
their firing, give them the rahge, the
direction and tell them how many
rounds.
The next rank up the ladder is that
of 'sergeant. He may also be a section
commander, but is not usually so. He
is under the lieutenant in comthand of
the platoon, seeing that section com-
manders do their work and assisting
the officers in every way possible. He
keeps the platoon duty book and sees
that the men of his company who are
on the roster for duty report at the
right° day.
The quartermaster sergeant over-
looks the issuing of stores to the mon,
of his company, takes care of the quar-
ters in which the men are billeted, and
sees that everything is kept in a
sanitary manner.

BANANAS AS FOOD.
The Best Way to Serve Them Is Baked
When Full Ripe.
Children under three years of age do
not chew their food thoroughly; they
bolt it. For this reason they should
not have bananas to eat uncooked.
Bananas are nutritious, but they are
an indigestible food unless they are
well masticated. They are more easily
digested when cooked than when eaten
raw.
The most digestible form of cooked
banana is the baked one. This is pre-
pared first by washing the fruit, then
cutting a small piece from each end
of the bananas (as when preparing it
sweet potato for baking). Place the
bananas to be baked on a tin pie plate
or similar dish in a hot oven. When
they feel tender after pricking with a
fork they are well baked. Dark brown
or brown stained bananas (not the
bright yellow ones) are best for eating,
either raw or baked.
After the fruit is baked it is placed
on a platter and served as a meat. It
is not. however. turned out of the skin.
When ready to eat it split the skin and
banana lengthwise of the fruit; season
it with salt, pepper and a little butter.
In ' warm weather baked liananas
may be used to take the place of meat
at a meal.
The British drink bill for last year
was $909,790,000, and, probably the
British are now spending a billion dol-
lars a year on something which many
people manage to get along without,
says a contemporary. The war has dost
Great Britain about $7,500,000. If we
subtract from this the loans to other
countries which will presumably be
repaid, and the money spent on feeding
the soldiers, who would have had to be
fed and clothed anyhow, tbJugh 'not so
well in time of peace, we should have
left, using the estimate of 'Sir George
Paish, a net loss to the country of about
$2,500,000,000.
If them, Great Britain should go dry,
as Russiahas its total war lossescould
be paid up within the next three years,
not slowing anything for the, gain in
industrial efficiency and the saving from
the crime and impaired health 'which
incidently results from the consumption
of a billion dollars` worth of liquor a
year. '

"Pins and Needles:"
After being for a long time in a con-
strained attitude a peculiar numbness
and pricking are•often felt in the arm,
lei, or foot. This is caused by some
interruption to the circulation and can
usually be removed by rubbing or ex-
ercise. The reason of the sensation,
tvliich is decidedly uncomfortable while
it lasts, is that pressure for a certain
length of time deadens the sensibility
of a nerve. When this pressure is sud-
denly removed, as straightening out
the leg after sitting with it doubled
underneath the body, sensibility grad-
ually returns to the nerve, and as each
nerve fiber composing the trunk re-
gains its normal condition of sensibil-
ity n pricking sensation is felt, and
these successive prickings from the
successive awakenings of the numer- •
ous fibers have not inaptly been called
"pins and needles."
