A ROOSTER DAY Poultry raisers who build up a trade in strictly fresh eggs known by 'the name of "specials" see to it that the male birds do not run with the flock. Not only do they consume a certain amount of expensive food but fertilized eggs do not keep near- ly as -well as those that are sterile. Indeed after warm wea'cher ar- rives the male birds should be done away with, except, of course, in flocks of the breeders of pure bred fowl who produce stock and eggs for breeding purposes. The uselessness of the male in the laying flock is being recognized in many quartets and a prominent newspaper in East- ern Ontario, has made a novel sug- gestion that "A`Rooster Day" be or- ganized. The Editor in urging this points out that the keeping of male birds throughout the year is an econ- omic loss which in the aggregate moans a waste of thousands of dol- lars yearly in every township. The cost •of maintenance of such birds is l about 83 per year each, Only those who want eggs from their own pre- mises for hatching, it is pointed out, have any need of male birds, and as the time is arriving when poultry raisers are adopting the practice of renewing their flocks by the purchase of baby chicks, there is no reason whatever for keeping over the male birds. A. Rooster Day it is believed would in a very real sense be a "booster day" for the poultry in- dustry, which is steadily gaining in importance. A leaflet of the Depart- ment of Agliculure at Ottawa e'0 - commends the killing off of the male birds after the breeding season an.l sets the first of June as the time when roosters should be sent to mar- ket, becicase .after that date, it is pointed out, millions of dollars aro lost through the presence of partially incubated eggs in the produce which is marketed. Canadian National Exhibition Park is 360 arses in extent. Children's dancing eontoste will feature the 1928 Yount* Canada's Day programme of the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition. Over 2,400 oars from the United States were counted on the Canadian National 1bhibition Grounds in one day. Canada's Motor Show at the Cana- dian National Exhibition, Toronto, occupies •110,000 square feet in the Automotive Building, SUPERING FOR THE CRO/ Supering for the storing of sur- plus honey should be given just as the honey flow is starting. This may be determined by the way the bees are flying busily in and out of the entrance of the hive, and by the pre- sence of new wax built along the up- per edges of the combs. Supering for extracted -honey, production differs from that of comh- honey production. In extracted -honey production, the queen in confined to the brood chamber by a wire queen -excluder, and a super of extracting combs is placed above, When this super is a- bout one-third full (which is judged by its weight), replace it by another one next the brood chamber and put the first one on top. The ordar when giving the third super is; third one next the brood chamber, the se- cond above it, and the first one on top. After 'elle peak of the flow, room is given less liberally. In comb -honey production it is un- necessary to confine the queen be- Iow by an excluder. es she will sel- dom go above into the supers of sections. To get the bees to work in the sections, however, is sometimes difficult, and the following methods are suggested: (1) give the bees a super of empty extracting -combs; then, when they have started work in it, raise it up and place a super of sections between it and the brood chamber; (2) use extracting -combs as well as sections in the super; (3) use bait sections; or (4) run tho colony in two crhantbers during the breeding season; then, remove file upper chamber and put on a super of sections. The order of comh-honey supering is as follows: When the first super is well started ft is raised to the top; and each successive super given is first placed next the brood chamber aha then raised to the top. Toward ' the end of the flow, give lees spa., in order that es many section:: mvy the finished as possible, llcwin,: c•auocdm:• 11nr1 yachting ;races will be featured on the Cana - than National "Exhibition Aquatic Sports programme.

Mabel could not help but note the close attention Willard paid t0 his uncle. 1t seemed as though the young man never lost sight of his relative, or his moods, or his comfort. When conversation lagged with the group about the old plan, Willard immediate- ly discerned the fact and was on the spot with some ]tumorous remark that aroused the coterie from dullness. As those present abandoned themselves to such freedom and iftjeyment as they chose, the younger spirits of the party were led Into a riot of dancing end athletic games by Willard who seemed bubbling over with fun and frolic.

This internationally famous center has been in process of rebuilding during the past two winter seasons and now stands complete, magnificent as to cons- truction and furnishings and beyond compare as to .beauty of surroundings. The Banff Springs Hotel is so constructed as to blend, in the beauty of its arelaiteeturc, with the snowcapped peaks of the mountain, ranges. Built of native stone quarried from tho base of Mount Rundle and trimmed with Tyndal stone from Manitoba the building itself, complies with all the tenets of dignity and good taste. The Banff Springs provides accommodation for 1 100 guests,and contains G00 bedrooms with baths in addition to a Large number of suites of marked beauty and com- fort.
