Canadian Surds First in Egg, Laying Contests—Congress b at Ottawa iiia „1927 t ;Because the lien In the wild state I was a jungle fowl—a, native a the hot countries -- the impression prevails among these who have not looked into the question that poultry is exotic to Canada and that this country must neoessarily be handicapped as com- pared with the countries along the : I Mediterranean or other warm regions. On the contrary the enact opposite is the ease and Canada, because of her climate and other advantages, leads the world In many phases of peultrY production. This is in line with the general tendency shown by the more northerly "developed strains of plants and animals to excel in vitality and quality their southeru prototypes. It should also be remembered that although the hen is a native of hot countries the turkey, partridge, prairie. chicken, the duck and the famous Can- ada goose are indigenous to this coun- try. The two latter are, of course, ini- gratory, but when domesticated thrive exceedingly well here the year round, Modern poultryproduction is con - earned particularly with the domestic hen, The hen has followed the white man to nearly every part of Canada and has shown herself a thrifty sea tier. At first she took her chance with other live stock and did equally well, then •came a period when menwho de- sired to increase production confined , their fowls in warm but dark and un- vgntilated winter quarters (with little success be it added); and finally with- in the last thirty years, came the dis- covery • that given plenty of sunlight and fresh air domestic fowls throve exceedingly well in Canada and pro- duced a high percentage of wintereggs. The latter fact is important be- cause the efforts of poultrymen all the world over are directed not only to egg production generally but also and es- pecially to Increasing the number pro- duced in the winter months when eggs are most valuable.

When I began the use of these pills I was in a terribly run down condition; very thin and very pale. My appetite was gone, and I had a tired, worn out feeling all the time. Doctor's medicine didnot seem to improve my condition and I was getting greatly discouraged when a friend advised me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. After some urging I decided to do so. After taking six boxes I felt like a new person. I gained weight, hard a good color, and an improved appetite, and the constantly tired feeling that had made me so miserable was gone. T took a few boxes more before I stop- ped, 'arid by that time I bad never felt so well in my life'.

Empire and were spreading northward into Walhacltie, Moidovia and Hungary; 'rhe appearance of Gipsies in Europe is first noted by chroniclers in the fif- teenth century, when "a peculiar race of wandering, wastrel ragamuiffn vag- abonds" arrived in Geruiany, about. 1417. They traveled in hordes, each led by a count on horseback, or by a "Lord of Lessor Egypt," . Gipsies arrived in England at a somewhat later period, enjoying a marked degree of toleration at first.. • , Henry VIII. promulgated a law against them in which they are described as , "an outlandish people, calling themselves Egyptians, 'using no craft nor feat of meecbandise, who having come into this realm, and gone Kfrom shire to shire, in .great company." There are many historical evidences to believe that Gipsies have been in America from nearly the first days of its settlement. Many Gipsies were banished to the Colonial plantations, land many old-world families and tribes came Voluntarily in later years seeking more elbow room. The United States, Canada and South America have to -day probinably as Iarge a Gipsy population as is to be found in all of Europe. The name "Gipsy" originated in the , pretense of these wanderers to being. Egyptians. They are also known as "Zlgeuners" in Germany, "Czigany" in The Government of .Canada and the provincial governments have given. a great deal of attention to the- poultry industry. The Dominion Government, in addition to the Central Experiment- al Farm at Ottawa, has 25 branch farms and a number of substations throughout Canada, and at all of these poultry work is carried on, Pedigree breeding is conducted at all the farms, egg laying contests throughout the Dominion are organized by the "Poultry Division o."- the Experimental Farm, and there has been established. the Canadian Retard of\Performance and Registration of Poultry, all of which develop heavy laying strains and in- crease production of the whole coun- try. e World Congress in 1927. In 1924 Canada participated in the World's Poultry Congress held at Bar- celona, Spain, and succeeded in at- tracting ttracting so much attention because of the completeness of her organization and the high quality of her birds that many sales to breeders in different European countries of pedigreed stock have already taken place, and, more than this, it was decided to hold the next Congress in Ottawa in the sum- mer of 1927. This Congress it is an- ticipated will bring between 5,04.0 and 6,000 delegates (including friends, probably 10,000 people all -told) to Ot- tawa from. all parts of the world. There parties will tour the country in all directions. Thus it will be seen that the no longer lowly Canadian hen not only adds greatly to the annual pro- duction of the nation but is also mak- ing:known the extent of Canada's re- seurces to the different countries of fee world. When the Empire Mourned. The anniversary f one of the great tragedies of the War occurred recent- ly. It was just ten years ago, on rune 6th, 1916, that Lord Kitchener, whose statute was unveiled in London on the 9th, was drowned on his way to Rus-, sia on the Hampshire.

But, if you were the father of an inquisitive child, what would you be able to tell If about. air? Country air is purest, because trees, plants and flowers absorb carbonic acid from the air anti, return pure oxy.- gen to it. A summer day may be very hot, but in this country the air is usually from ten to twelve degrees cooler than the body temperaure. The greater purity of air after a, thunderstorm with lightning is be- cause the latter produces nitric acid, which destroys the noxious gases in the air. Airis never "still," and cannot be seen. Subjected to great pressure at a low temperature, it can be turned in- to a liquid, or even a solid.

It's Cooler. Near the Sun. The predicted summer heat wave need have no terrors—for anyone who can afford to take a trip in an aero- plane! If the heat wave began this month, with the shade temperature well into the 70's, an ascent of about 6,000 feet would bring the thermometer down to near freezing -point, I If that were nota sufficient "cooler," another mile up would produce ten or twelve degrees of frost. The reason why it is cooler in the air, even though you are going towards the sun, is that the sun's rays go di- rect toearth and are flung upwards fronrehe earth. Thus, the higher you go the fainter becomes the strength of tlies•e• reflected rays. If the predicted heat wave—ingthe vicinity of 90 in the shade—does assert itself until July, it would mean ascending four miles to feel the ef- 1 fects of zero. A nice cool air, with the thermometer at 41 degrees, could be encountered at a height of 6,000 or 7,000 feet. Something very refreshing could be obtained at height of three miles in i August—twenty degrees of frost! Whether one wants cooler weather or not, depends, of course, on what•one has been used to in the matter of cli- mate. Anyone newly home from a long residence in India or Egypt might shiver at the ,mere thought of the thermometer in the thirties, and would prefer to bask in the "cool" 80 in the shade at ground level. On the other hand, an Arctic ex- plorer home from a two or three years' expedition in the neighborhood of the North Pole, would have to go up six or seven miles to.get anything like the temperature he has been used to. At this, height there would be a temperature of sixty' degrees below zero. er DESTROYS "Ilto ROadieS Mn tolled 'Their ,Sketebe 13011.0S aria CaVer Walls. perfected by Me 9 ,: r .nn 0 taifl .a ' B#ti0.r sl)orzici ke egld to give the best ei of t And the Ikiltx5tau'.d oboukc1 Paintings Pound on the roof of the..Altamira Cave in Northern Spain are shown in the sketch.

Then about 10,000 years ago the greatest change came. Up until this time implements were all of rough stone. Idenea this foregoing period of* which we have written has been called the/Old Stone Age; or to use the scien- tific name, the Paleolithic Age, Now starts the New Stone or'Neo- lithic Age. This is the period of polish- ed stone implements. From' now on, man polished his im- plements with care. Arrow heads are 'found. There are also axe heads so constructed as to be fastened to handles. At this time the start of agriculture and the domestication of animals -was ' also made. Six thousand years ago man learned to make implements of copper. Three thousand years ago he first Iearned the use of iron. Fixing the Blame. Mrs. Knwgg-"Oh, dear! ' Why did I ever marry you?" Her Husband—"Don't blame me. I did my best to run out on you." Meaning of Miniature. We of the present think of "minia- ture 'as something' small, particularly a small portrait. But -this word, ac- cording to the, Mentor, is the same, virtually, as the more uncommon "miniete," which means "of a red 1 color," and "minium" which is the name of a real mineral. Tracing the 'gird "miniature" back we find that it paeans not a small portrait, but a "red! portrait" from an Italian word, which r comes from the Lamin miniere, mean- •' ing to "rubricate' 'or to , paint in minium, red lead. (The Latin name for red lead probably was of Spanish or Iberian origin). The name "minia ture" was first applied' to the orna- mental capitals which decorated old manuscripts. Later the word took on the connota- tion of "small"—just how is uncertain, but it may have been through some association with the Latin minor, minienus, which means maid, or less. So, from meaning a red portrait, and then from being the'nam•e of ornament- al letterrs, "miniature" has come to be applied to small pictures and portraits in general. ASnicker From Sydney.
