No other Province has a more interesting population for the fabric out of which that population has been woven contains threads of so many racial cultures. Of the eight hundred and seven thousand souls recorded in the census of 1926, three-fourths are of British descent with hnglish and Scots blood pre- dominating. Over half a million were born in Canada, and of these a small but notable sprinkling are c' French-Canadian descent. Nine- ty-eight thousand were born in the British Isles. Continental Europe hue added twenty-two racial strains of which the larger groups may be summarized as Slavonic (55,000), c:.ndinaelea 1.10,000), Teutonic me.1O)0 i and Romance (14,000). The auoriginal Indian population num- ;s about 13,03D,C Each of these racial groups can contribute some- .tlisat to Canadian art and music, for each has its Traditions of handl and ioliteong, traditions which represent on inherent love for beautiful things. and aleve of melody, Folksong fs intimate- ly linked un with handi- craft, for it is to the accompaniment of folk- song that the spinning. wheel turns and the beautiful homespun fa- brics aro woven. These fabrics can never be duplicated by the fac- tory -made article, and the efforts of the Cana- dian Handicrafts' Guild to find and retain a market for the ei8ft- work which earl be done during the winter months on the farms of Western Canada is therefore well worthy of support. This Guild is preparing a handicraft exhibit in connection with the Folksong and Folkmusic Festival which the Canadian Pacific is organizing to be held at Regina, March 20 -23rd, as the inauguration of a Saskatchewan Branch. The main idea of this Great West festival iq to help Canadians to realise the priceless heritage which they possess in the traditional. melodies which have been brought to this country by immigrants, and in some cases have been composed intbis country by early settlers. The field of folkmustc is so immense that only a glimpse of it can be secured in the four days of this particular festival, but some of the greatest artists of the continent will render interpretations and it promises indeed, to be a feast of music and COW. Poul Bai, the Danish baritone will feature in Norse music, Charles Marchand in the French-Canadian folksongs and almost every nation will be represented in handicraft as in song.

At the Dominion Experimental Station, Kapuskasing, Ontario, a re- cord is kept of the feed consumed by all of the young stock from the date of birth until the males are sold for breeding and the females freshened. From these data, it is found that the average feed cost of rearing Ayrshire heifers to time of freshening (2 years 7.4 months) is 127.50.

No charge has been made for labour of housing and consequently when these items are added it may be noted there is an outlay of at least $150.00 before the heifer commences to give any re- turns. Providing she is well bred and develops into a good producer she will easily repay tbs outlay, while on the other hand if she is a low pro- ducer and a short term milker she can never become a paying propos- ition. HE ROLE OF SUNLIGHT IN THE NORMAL GROWTH OF CHICKS Exiserimental work during the past few years has drawn particular at- tention to the importune': of sun- light in the successful brooding and rearing of chicks, • It has been definitely shown that unlves special supplementary feeds are red chicles cannot be raised sat- isfactorily in the ah.ence of sun- licrht. Since• many early hatched chicks, particularly where cold win- ters are the rule, have not the op- portunity of getting out into the sun- light it is essential to supply some form of euhe,titute for the sun's rays to avoid trouble from leg weakness or rickets. Experimental work car- ried on at the Poultry Division of the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, has definitely shown that in spite of the comiletc absence of sunlight, chicks may be kept healthy and make rapid gains if given certain supplem- entary feeds. Of these, crude cod liven oil is the most efficient and when fed at a rate of 2 per cent of the mash consumed or about one tablespoonful daily to ench fifty chicks, will give complete protection against ricket. Since cud liver oil is easily obtainable it is ad- visable to feed this material. rather than the product known as cod liver meal, since the latter has given rather intlift',r"nt results in rxperimentr conducted here. It is ju:.t possible that the same uniformity in quality 's not available •in the case of roll liver meal, and that it therefore tc not at the present tune at least, as de• paudahlr as cod liver oil.

Most glass substitutes are not so durable as common glass and allow only a certain proportion of the sun's rays into the house, and once the chicks can get out into the sunlight, or win- dows can be opened wide, their use, fulness is ended.

O SPRING PRUNING If pruning is to be done this spring it is best that it be completed before the sap is flowing to any extent. Do not think it is necessary to take out a lot of wood from every tree. Much damage may be done by annual but- chering. If the orchard has light an- nual pruning it will only be neces- sary to (1) remove all dead or bro- ken branches; (2) to head in any branches which may be too rangy ; (3) to remove cross -branches or (4) to thin out where the tree has be- come absolutely too thick. df the orchard is old and has been neglected, which is evidencecl°by lack of growth and barren arms for many feet Irani the main trunk, a vigorous heading back of the top is necessary to force new growth from which new fruit producing wood can be select• ed. Handle the young trees carefully. Do not make it a practice to head hack one-half or one-third annually. Watch the crotches and always keep one branch in the: lead to avoid the weak crotches. Cut out Where bran. ches are too close together, keep the tree headed low, and if the, variety produces a long rangy tree suppress the strongeat growing branches the most and weakest one; the l,'nst.

Always cut back to a bud, cutting off close as possible without injuring the bud itself. By paying attention to the position of the bud one can do much to decide the form the tree shall take. Study each variety you are dealing with and adopt a system most suited to its needs. Do not attempt to apply very hard and fast rules to your whole orchard. 1 .:J It is not a question of how much pruning one can do but how little one can do and still retain the desired shape, vigor and productiveness of the tree. It is necessary to shift gears faster when the car is cold. Congeal lubri- cant in the gear case slows down the gears more rapidly than when condi- tions are normal.
