I Sell Eggs Direct.
My first step was to secure a copy
of the Montreal- City directory. Se-
lecting a list of narhes frem the resi-
dential sections,. I mailed to each a
• neatly printed. circular stating that I
was , prepared 'to ship -guaranteed
• strictly fresh eggs in lots of five dozen
each, and solicited a trial order. • In
• a few days trial orders began to
arrive.
• `I selected only first -quality eggs
and shipped in small wooden, five-
• dozen size cases, by express. The ex-
press company gave me what they
call the produce rate, by which the
• crates are returned free of charge.
' Since that first venture the capacity
•• of my egg factory has been increased
• many times.
•; 'find shipping in wooden cases by
express far superior to shipping by
parcel post, as the danger of breakage
is much less. Rarely do I have a com-
plaint of a single egg being broken;
by parcel post this was one of my
greatest problems.
Neighbors have offered to sell me
their eggs 'to ship with mine, but so
far 1 ship eery my' own eggs, which I
can guarantee. I received '$310.60

ONE WAY TO LOOK
AT 111
,Reams of eopn have been vvri,te 1
beavaillieg the fact that the yoeng
people leave the farms for city life
and as many more reams, have been
coveted with directioes toi checking
the movement. But still the exodus
goes on, and it will continue until the
attitude of country folk toward the
city folk undergees a decided change.
Meanwhile it is useless for anxious
fathers and niothers •to buy pianos,
automobiles, home comforts, fine
houses and fuse furniture in the hope
of stemming the tide cityward.
j For the fault is largely .he parents'.
' Most,countryhoye and girls have been
brought up lo think that the city is a
haven of reet. Country mothers seem
to take pride ' in telling how much
work they, do and how helplees town
lac1iee are,and they -ale forevei point-
ing out that the country is the place
o i ing up " c i rem because ' it
,furnishee plenty of chores and health-
• ful week for them to do.'
All that may, be quite true, but the
small boywho wants to go fishing in-
stead of being made to dig potatoes
and to drivethe cows to pasture con-
cludes that the city srraist be a pretty
p asan p ace i e city oy r
.
nothing to do. And the little girl who
i is bidden to carry water to the chick-
ens or to pick peas for dinner resolves
to go to town just as soon as she is
big enough, because there nobody
keeps chickens, and vegetables are
bought instead of being picked from
vines. ,
"Whenever work is held 11P, consci-
ously or unconsciously, as a thieg to
be avoided, children long for a place
where there are, -no chores to do. If
fathers and mothers, instead of de-
ploring the supposed idleness of city
life, would make a point of impress-
ing on their boys and girls the de-
lights of farm life and -would give
them opportunities to make money
from the chores, young people would
1 be more content with the country.
A little country girl of seven coax-
ed her mother not long ago to puff out
her hair a little at the sides, because
it loOked so pretty, but the mother
said decisively that she had no tirne
to primp and fix up like city women
who had nothieg else toed°. The child
was disappointed and inwardly deter-
mined that she would live in town
when she got big, so that she might
look pretty and have time to wear
stylish dresses. The mother paid no
attention to the child, but ten years
hence she will be trying to keep the
girl from carrying ont her childish
resolve. ,
In apother home, when the children
proposed small eiccursions and picnics
• —little day trips in the family car
to places of interest—the•mdther was
ont to say, "City people have time
to go` gadines, but country folks have
•to work," thinking that she -was show-
ing her boys and girlshow much more
virtuous country people were than
their town neighbors. But she suc-
ceeded only in corseincing them thee
'the city' must be a delightfuleplace to
live in, if people there had all the time
'they wanted for rest and recreation.
It is not fair to teach the children
that town people havessnOthing th:do,
because it is not true. And until par-
ents learn to magnify the delights of
country living, instead of those of
crowded cities, the exodus from the
farms will go on, for only years of
hard experience 'can efface the power
of early teaching.

•. Repairing Silo Walls.
Usually when the 'inside of a con-
crete or other masonry silo' is plaster-
ed the walls are not yet rigid. Sub-
sequent checking and cracking often
follow and the owner wonders why,
yet fails to take the tifne to repair
them. •.
Surface checks Usually do no harm
and are often the result of excessive
strain on the surface when the water
evaporates. But if the checks are
cracks and extend through the vrall
•they should be repaired. Pure cement
wash is perhaps as good as anything.
But to make the wash bond perfectly
with the old concrete the surface
should be soaked with water for sev-
eral minutes before the wash is ap-
plied. The wash should be of the
consistency of thick creeen first, then
thickened until it will just pour.
Large cracks which may require a
flexible joint are repaired by heating
with a blowtorch until' the surround-
ing surface is warm. Asphalt -soaked
rags are then tamped in with a hem-
mer and a hardwood stick and 'then
covered with pure asphalt or heavy
tar. These shints will apply also to
cistern's or water tanks. •-'
Locating Electrical Trouble.
A• simple method of discovering
whether electrical trouble is in the
generator is to procure an ammeter -
one from any car willeansaver very
well. Run a separate wire from the
generator' through this airtmeter and
then connect it to the battery of the
car, first disconnecting the regular
wire. ,Now if on running the engihe
this ammeter shows the normal charg-
ing rate it indicate e that the trouble
is elsewhere in the electric system and
not in the generator, Often a gen-
erator is suspected, and this, simple'
test clears it without disturbing any
other part a the wiring syStem, which'
is an obvious advantage.

Fresh Foods in Early Spring.
During -the latter part of the win-
ter otir health is especially liable to
suffer from the, lack in our diet of
vitally' important qualities that are
provided by the fresh vegetables and
fruits which are abundant in the sum-
mertime. For this reason 'we should
give some thought to our diet at this
time of year, for the purpose of pro-
tecting ourselves against this defi-
ciency:
If this is done, our vitality will be
kept up, and we shall be better able
to resist sicknesses that common
in late winter. Some authorities bes
lieve that many people have a 'scurvy
in late winter owing toc''deficiencies in
the diet.
B,ecause they last throughout the
winter and can be eaten raw or in sal-
ads, cabbage, celery, apples, grape-
fruit, oranges, nuts, lemons in lemon-
ade, are of special value and should
be partaken of freely during the
winter.
,Canned tomatoes are unique in that
they provide the vitamine that is,con-
tained in other foodsonly when'they
are raw, and they may be used freely
in the wintertime with benefit to the
health. Canned pineaPple that has
not been canned too long is also said
to be a good provider of vinaminee.
When lettuee can be bought during
tne winter, it is well to use it. .rhiu
should not be considered an expensive
luxury. It is better to spend money
for some of these medicinal arid' pro-
tective foods than for drugs and doc-
tor's bills, avoiding, besides, the dis-
comfort of ill health and the loss of
earning power dtle to sicknean
It is especially necessary to make
use at this time of the foods mention-
ed, ,as milk and butter, which are
"protective" foods in the summertime,
are likely to be lacking or at -least
.scarcd in the wmter. •
1 -low Not to Eat.
• Table m-aamers in the seventeenth
century must have stood in need of
considerable improvement, if we may
take seriously the advice that Hannah
Wooley gave to young ladies in. 1075.
It must be admitted that Mists Wooley
"wielded a trenchant pen."
"Gentlewomen discover not by any
ravenous gesture your angry appetite,
nor fix your eyes too greedily on the
meat before you, as if you would de-
vour more that way than your throat
would, swallow. In carving avoid elop-
ing your fingers in your mouth and
lieldng them after you have burnt
them. Close your lips when you eat
and do not smack like a pig. Fill not
your mouth so full that your cheeks
shall swell like a pair of Scotch bag-
pipes. 11 18 very unoomely to drink so
large a draught that your breath is al-
most gone and you a,re forced to blow
strongly to recover yourself."

king, is but a brave man's peer.
Pimples and Boils
Were Caused by
BAD BLOOD

Ont., writes: --"I thought I would
write and tell you of the benefit I have
derived from Burdock Blood Bitters,

bled with bad blood which broke out
on my face in the nature of,..pirapies,
boils and ringworm, tind I got so bad
I really did not know what to do.

itching and burning caused such a
terrible sensation I could get 'no relief
day or night. One day a, friend
advised me to use Burdock Blond Bit-

A C
certainarm woman ajade a
cess of raising a few extra good dairy
calves every year Tor the pasta dozen
years or so. A few of her haed-fed
heifer calves from grade Holsteins
and a pure-bred sire have becime,
neighborhood records of performance
at the pail,
The following is her method of
growing little calves into big, high -
producing COWS t'
When the calf is born she allows it
to remain with its mother about two
days, giving it a chance to fill up at
leisure on that new milk not fit for
human consumption, but most excel-
lent food and medicine for the infant.
She says that a calf will leara to
drink out of hand as easily at tierce
days old as earlier,
After the calf is separated from its
mother she feeds it new "milk frorn
•
its own mother three times daily. This
neW-millt feeding is continued for
from ten days to two weeks, when
gradually some skimmed milk is mir-
ed with the whole. Also at this time,
when the calf is about two weeks old,
she begins to add a little cooked oat-
meal to the milk, which the young calf
soon begins to eat readily and on
which it thrives wonderfully.When
the calf is older a pint or more of the
.
oatmeal mush is mixed with the milk.
This mush is the calf's first solid food,
and soon after learning to eat the
mush it will begin 'to nibble at and
eat fine hay, a big help in boesting a
hand -fed calf in thrift and growth.
This farm -woman expert with dairy
calves believes that all of the fat
should -never be "removed from thO
milk which is to be fed young calves.
She believes, and is scientifically right,
that no calf in its later growing per-
iod will do its best without some
actual cow butterfat in its daily ra-
tion, until it is old enough to eat a
wide variety of solid foods.
Hence, the milk she gives her hand-
fed calves is not from the separator,
but skimmed milk with a little of the
cream.
"No food is too good in the begin-
ning," she says, "if you expect to de-
velop a large, fine, heavy -producing
heifer. The early start in life is what
counts. Plenty of milk at each feed,
frequent feeding and always some fat
in the milk is my method." ,
But after the calf is eight or, ten
weeks old this woman gives it close
skimmed milk from the separator, for
then the young animal is old enough
to' eat e- variety of other things to
satisfy fully all its growing needs.
"But remember," she advises, "the
best 'dairies. heifers are grown only
when you furnish them through the
first weeks a their growing life with
some butterfat in their liquid feed.
It's a practice that pays."

'Prevention .9f Loses Aoig Chicks
By S. W. Knipe
Recent figures show that there are poultly- raisers, yet'a great number of
these people make the "penny wis e" and
pound foolish" mistake 'of thinking
they can make a brooder at .home quite
good enough to brood the small num-
ber of chicks they raise. Too often
these home-made brooders do not keep.
the proper temperature nor supply the
ventilation necessary. Again, if the
brooding system is too small for nuna-
only about 55 chicks raised outof
every 100 hatched, and this is on
farms where there exists a better aver-
age of poultry conditions. Many
poultry raisers try to reduce their loss
by "doctoring" sick and weakly chicks'.•
They lose sight of the fact that for
the. previous 9 or 10 months the stock
these chicks were raised from had not ber of chickens hatched there is apt

to maturity. The greatest loss is ow- chicks which are allowed on outsido
Ing to lack of vitality', which ma.y be
caused by poor parent stock, poor
care of eggs before they are set, or
poor ineubaUon, On.farms, where the
fowl are allowed to forage for them-
selves most of the year, there are
many mistakes made in breeding, the
fault often being due to both male and
female. The males, often late hatched,
lack vigor.and are small in size. Be-
cause such birds give a high percent-
age of fertility in eggs does by no
means warrant the assumption that
the chicks hatched will be sturdy.
Good hens are almost as important as
good males. For best results it is not
wise to mate the entire flock; better
pick out only the best femalea and
mate them to the best males procur-
able. Never mate cockerels and pul-
lets. Never use hens which have bean
sick and out of condition. Bowelarou-

vides food for at least that length of
time. AdditiOrtal food is over -loading

To sum up the matter, the remedy
for the great loss of chicks is "pre-
vention." "Eternal vigilance" is the
price which mtist be paid to reduce
the loss to a minimum. Careful feed
and attention from the day the
chicks are hatched, for remember,
these chicks may 'eventually be the

keep sand pr fine litter OLthe floor.
Feed grain in dry litter to induce ex-

clover cuttings.
No matter how broodecl the chickens
must be kept free from vermin, must
be kept dry, muat have plenty of exer-
cise, and small bird e should net be

as the little ehaps don't have a chance

Beating Out Caterpillars
• • By Chest
To judge by the abundance of tent
caterpillar egg mases reported since
the leaves fell last autumn, this spring
will set a serious ou•.artals of this pest
in many parts of the country
The egg masses, which are about
an inch long, encircle the smaller
twigs. They, are of a golden brown
color and resemble dried frothy glue.
Once seen they are easily recognized
and found while the trees are bare
of leaves. The • little worms which
Were hilly developed last fall 'before
cold weather set in are, ready to em-
erge as soon as spring opens. Usually
before the buds burst they have be-
gun to spin their webs in crotches of
the smaller branches. They do seri-
ous out often unnoted damage to the
young green parts before their pres-
ence is detected or even suspected.
During storms, cold and drizzly
deather and during the heat of the
day they take shelter in the nests,
but in the evening and the early
morning they go out to feed, Toward
the beginning of June they cease to
return to the nests and ofteff trevel
considerable distances across even
bare ground, less in search of food
than of places in which to change
from their caterpillae form to the
adult moth state. In July the moths
-appear, lay their eggs and die.
This insect becomes a serious pest
about once in ten or fifteen years, The
last devastating infestation • in the
East was in 1915. The reason is that
its natural controls, especially para-
sites, fail for some usually undeter-
er Morgan •
mined reason. Li the absence of these
checks the caterpillars run riot until
the controls gain a fresh hold. This
may require one, two or three years,
A simple -way to avoid trouble -from
these caterpillars is to gather the egg
masses in winter, but not destroy
them. This would also kill the para-
sites that are ..often inside the eggs.
Place the egg masses where the para-
sites may escape freely but where the
caterpillars will find no food, as in
an, 'outbuilding.
Another way is to destroy the little
nests as soon as they are formed. Be-
fore the leaves.develop they are easily
, seen in the crotches of the smaller
itbranches: They may be burned with
a torch though care must be exer-
cised to avoid injuring the branches
themselves. Theymay be wiped out
with a bunch of burlap or other rough
material, or even with the gloved
hand, though this is unpleasant.
Worthless apple, wild cherry and
other trees upon which the insects
feed should be destroyed as a matter
of prevention. s
When these methods are not follow-
ed spraying or dusting the foliage
near the nests will kill most of the
worms: The most effective poison is
arsenate of lead, whether applied as
a spray or in dust form. The same
dusting or spraying to control leaf -
chewing insects will also exterminate
the tent caterpillar. Lead arsenate
may be applied with fungicides spelt
as lime -sulphur dust, thus combining
two functions in one.

Every spring brooder stoves are
discarded because they will not draw
properly when the trouble really lies
in the location of the house. In some
cases the stove seems to draw ell right
except when the wind is in certain di-
rections. I know'of one brooder stove
that did not draw properly until the
house was moved out away from the
other building. I know' of tveo •.other
cases where the stoves did not draw
and a draft was- effected simply by
putting on another length' of brooder
stovepipe.
A cap on the brooder'stovepipe will
guard against the fire `being put out
by wind or rain. • The pitoh of the
roof on some brooder -hceueee seems to
be just so the air sweeping up over
the roof forms a wave that falls over
backward and goes down the chimney.
In other cases the air will strike a
building close by and make an air
current that puts the fire out. A pro -
longed spring rain often increases,the •
troubles of the brooder -stove operates'.
This trouble can be alleviated by put-
ting a metal cover on the brooder -
stovepipe. This cap is merely a rec-
tangular piece of metal, bent into an
aech and fastened to the pipe with
rivets to keep it from turning.
Put the cap on with its axis parallel •
to the front end of the roof. This
keep air currents from doubling over
backwards and putting out the fire
and it keep rain out.
When a man has a farm that is a -
credit to him, it is easy to get credit. s
The sum total of our habits tell
closely the type of being we are. so'
Two slogans for the live stock man:
"Feed or get fooled," and "Keep the
best; sell the rest." '
Price statistics indicate that it
takes about as much money to equip a -
farm to -day as it did to buy the faran
twenty years ago.

reckon.
It has provided them, at a cost unequalled in
motordom, with a means to speed up business,

the whole country to every Canadian.
The fine quality, strength, endurance and full
equipment provided by Chevrolet cannot be
purchased for so :Little money anywhere else.
Moreover, the owner of a Chevrolet finds a
further satisfaction in the savings effected

built can be run or znaintain.ed as cheaply as
Chevrolet.
Chevrolet cars are built in Canada by Cana-
dian workmen. Every dollar you pay not only
buys „a -good-looking, comfortable car, but
helps build up a strong Canadian industry.
