Lieutenant Raymond Asquith, of the Grenadier Guards, has been killed in action. Lieuteuant .Asquith was a well- known barrister, and until the storm - clouds gathered in Europe in the sum.mer of 1914, a brilliant career seemed to be opening out before him in law and polities. He and two of his brothers joined the army as vol- unteers in the early months of the war. He was a man of remarkable intellectual endowments, his uni- versity career exceeding even the fine record of his father in. distinc- tion. He had great charm of man- ner. and was muck liked by his col- leagues at the 13ar and in society. Born. on November 6, 1878, Mr. • Raymond Asquith was in his thirty- eighth year. His mother was a daughter of Mr. Frederick Melland, of Rushohne. He had a most distinguished school and university career, closely neneeettion in 1897. The following year A duplicating his father's successes at Oxford. fter leaving Winchester he went to Balliol College with an ieteveeerst in "Mods," and won the Craven" &Warship. In 1900 he was first ia "Graetti" and two years later became a Fellowt"te! All Souls, was elected President of the Union, and took a erst-class in jurisprudence. Besides the Craeten., Mr. Asquith won the Ireland, Derby, and Eldon Scholarships. Called to the Bar of the Inner Temple in 1904, Mr. Asquith made rapid progress in his profession, and In 1907 was appointed by the Attor- ney -General junior counsel to the Treasury in. peerage cases. He ap- peared as junior counsel for Great Britain in the North Atlantic Fish- eries Arbitration at The Hague in 1911, and received the appointment of junior eounsel to the Inland Rev- enue shortly before war broke out. Two years previously Mr. Asquith was unanimously invited to become prospective Liberal candidate for Derby, in successien to Sir Thomas Roe, who was retiring. He accept- ed the invitation, and in a tour oi the constituency made a series of speeches which greatly pleased his party and gave promise of a bril- liant political career. On the outbreak of war Mr. As- quith put all other interests aside and joined the army. After train- ing he received, M 1914, a COMMIS- sion as second -lieutenant in the 16th County of London Regiment (Queen's Westminster Rides). In August last year he was gazetted lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards, 3w9itib5.seniority as from March 24, Mr. Asquith, in 1907, married Katharine, daughter of Sii Sohn Horner, of Melts Park, Somerset, Commissioner of Woods and Forests. He leaves three children, tbe young- est of whom, the only son, was born in April last. NEW SERBIAN ARMY.. Transformed From Discouraged Band to Eager Fighters. A few months ago the survivors of the Serbian army were painfully beating their way over the Albanian mountains. Tired, starving, and weary men these, in very truth a plaantom army, weighed down under the demoralization which comes of a hard tussle against overwhelming odds, harried marches in isolated groups over snow -clad, roadless heights, exile from home, and empty stomachs. Certainly, you yould never have considered it possible that this hu - luau wreckage of yesterday could to- day be fit and ready to take its place upon the battlefield and share the task of driving the invader from the Serbian lands. (Since the above, published in the London Chronicle, appeared, the Serbian army has again taken the field.) Yet the miracle has been accom- plished. Tim wonderful physique of the Serbian peasant has combined with the orga.nizing genius of the British and French missions and the resources of the grand alliance, to save from the Serbian retreat no fewer than 150,00 hale, hearty, and well equipped fighting men, full of retiowed courage and enthusiasm, and waiting impatiently for the order to march homeward. Ever since their arrival at Corfu the leases among the eoldiery have been inevitably heavy. Many of the physicaley ruined men came coaly to die, and the cetaeteries, which here and there dot the island, often recall the aftermath of a battlefield.In the early days arrangements wore primitive, food sceree, and hospital accommodation inadequate; but to this disorganization the British and Freneh allieSiellet speedily set a term. Bpicienaics were successfully kept under, and it bale exaggeration to say that 30 per contof the troops are now as healthy and strong as ever in, their liveS. • The Serbian army was never le well eQuipped as to -day.

This Den was selected iah, it was thought to be equal in production. to an average farm. flock. The average dozen. eggs sold for 20c more than the cost of feed required to produce it. fEach hen gave 999e over cast of feed in the six months., which though not large, shows taut even at the high price of feed eggs cant Inc produced et a profit. The prices paid for grain were local Ottawa prices and were high. The price received for the eggs was 44e per dozen. This eves not as thigh as the local market and no higher than any farmers ob- tained during the same time. 33ut: the farmer in. addition inig,ht cut down cost, for he has table scrape railk and other feeds that may be used that was not available here.

Double line the north side so as to give the hens greater protection while on the roosts. If the house is inclined' to be dana,p, more ventilation helps.
