Mortality—Hop- per Mash — Feeding Chicks With Hens—Weight of Chick-- Value hick-Value of Mauure •When to Prune. (Contributed by Ontario Department of • Agriculture,• Toronto.) The use of the incubator and brooder has forced the poultry 'keeper to study the methods of growing chicks. A mother hen and her brood, when allowed to range, can be fed many feeds and the chicks do well simply because the hen and the chicka balance the ration by catching in- sects and selecting tender green feed, and, it may be several other things that we have never observed. Great Variation in Mortality. There is a great variation in differ- ent broods of chicks reared by the artificial method, and may broods have a high mortality and a wary unthrifty appearance. The chicks can be reared easily with reasonable care and attention. The use of a little common sense is essential. One should remember that, given a brooder, a colony house, and say three hundred baby chinks, it is the duty of the operator to keep th,- chicks comfortable, and that ever. need of the body must be taken r• those chicks. There is no. cluckin hen to pick up bits of gravel or E. catch insects. The feed must b taken to the chicks. At present the department of Poul- try Husbandry at the O.A,C„ is cut, - ducting a series of experiments, tn, object being to find a simple, ,nix pensive method o1 growing a normar chicken. It may take years to get t:r answer, but each season we ado a little to our knowledge. Hopper Mash'far Chicks. Hensaf} M.r,s+ Geo.

The production of steel ingots and castings in Canada daring the monthu of February amounted to 70,953 tons, an advance of 72 per cent over Q9 the 41,3 tons produced in January. e The increase was almost wholly ac- counted 0d counted or by the rise in the quan- tity of pen -hearth basic steel in- gots made for the use of producers. Canadian far^: prcdacts exported to the United States during Febru- ary totalled $2,440,203, an increase of $961,579 over February last year, according to a report published by the Bureau of Statistics. Wheat ex- ports to the United States, were valued at $101,714 in February, as against $25,157,. in February of the previous year. Under ':the agreement with the Imperial Government under the Em- pire Settlement Act, Canada, s sent $39,657 in assisted passages for some 2,653 British immigrants in the fiscal year just closed. In the past four years the Dominion Gov- ernment has spent nearly $1,500, 000 in promoting immigration fro Great Britain to Canada. By arrangements made by Hon George Headley; Minister of Agri culture, a trial shipment of cows and steers will be made in the near fu ture to Japan for the purpose of testing ort the possibilities of a market for Alberta's livestock in that country. It is also the purpose of the department to send with the shipment a qualified investigator who will look into the potentialities of a market for all Albertan• farm products.

Primarily, the Ford tour- ing is a family,ear,ancl'as such has estab- lished a splendid reputation for:,. service and de- pendability. But its useful- ness does not end there. You will find the Ford touring doing every job that cars have ever been used for—mak- ing or--mak ing the quick run to town on urgent errands—taking produce to market and supplies back home— doing everything, in fact, that a util- ity car is called upon to do. 5j• sore P�inaua No matter where you live or drivel our car, the nearest'seryice sta- tion is always a Ford service station And it does them all quickly, eco- nomically and satisfactorily.

The last audible words between pilot and mechanic are spoken, and with stentorian roar of engine and prop•.ior the giant, human and. baggage freighted plane, glides swiftly over the surface of the Quinze. One feels the churning waters tumping at the bottom. of the boat until momentum has increased to such extent that a touch of the stick" causes the Vickers. Viking to slowly rise. Two turns in as many minutes and the passenger, having adjusted his goggled and seated himself more comfortably, peers, at first cautiously, over the side of the pit, and far below him lies the little town of Aligners, the -head of the Canadian Pacific steel which twists and turns in and out of the forest to the south like a living thing. The earth is as a map below, lakes and rivers shining in the distance and beneath, and ragged patches of bush and arable land smudged ed g here and there like a child's attempt to depict relief. Turning east the plane heads down- Lake Quinze, following the, water course s to Lake Expanse, — one sees from the air how appropriate as its' name,— thence north for some fifteen miles up the Ottawa .Rivera;ad further north over one of its tributaries to Lake Fortune acid Rouyn, upon nearing which the plane leaves the glorious rolling clouds and gradually sinks until once mere the, water tumps'the bottomof the hall, checking it with sudden jerks which tend to slow the boat until it stops within a few feet of tie-up.
