Meantime the boys of his troop in Cobalt were doing splendid service in looking after refugees from the burn - 'Ing district. They served refresh- ments, located missing children and restored them to their parents, and collected and distributed clothing. They watched for and put out incipient fires on the outskirts of the town. In July of 1919 two Scouts were seat- ed on the shore at Purcell's Cove, Hal! fax Hahbor, when they noticed some distance out a man in a canoe endeav- oring to reach land against the strong wind and heavy sea running. As the boys 'watched the canoe suddenly cap- sized. The Scouts Quickly ;secured and launched a boat, and pulled out to the scene. The• man wag clinging to the overturned canoe. The weight of the matt made the rescue very difficult and dangerous in the rough sea, but finally by cool-headed watermanship the two boyt got• the unfortunate safely into their boat Attar a hard. pull against both sea and wind they regained the shore. There, to com- plete the work of Scout service, they revived their rescued passenger with hot tea which they secured from a pic- nic party. The two Scoots were Mur- ray Fraser, 13; and Arthur Goodwin, 15, lst Halifax Troop.

In order to cover all trains the boys came on duty at daybreak. They accepted nothing for their service. Without it we cannot get anywhere.

The days are so change- able—one bright, the next cold and stormy, that the mother is afraid to take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they deed so much. In consequence they are often cooped up in overheated, badly ventilated rooms and are soon seized with colds or grippe, What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby's Own Tablets. They will regulate the stomach and bowels and drive out colds, and by their use the baby will be able to get over the winter season in perfect safe- ty.

Poultry Mating for 2924 In regard to ase of breeding 0tocIt no cast iron rule will hold good, 13ut; from many ,yearn of breeding, .the gen• oral opinion Is that secenn year birds are the beet. But if pullets hate not been 'forced" for eggs, and fertile eggs are not required before March, very good reauite are likely tc be e realized. It to when mated and breed. !ng earlier, in en unnatural Owen, that immaturity entails soma degree of weakneea. When you have scoured an espeeial- lY good mating it is well to centime to use same' male bird' for two or three eeasens, or until came Can be replaced by a good son of his. So now, with mating time right upon us, it ie well to keep this in mind. The breed - era of the heavy type Rooke, Wyan-. dottes, R. T. Reda, etc:, should now mate up their pens and have their awn hatch for winter layers oft early in March. This le not too, early, as it le neoeaeary to let the larger breeds have six menthe to mature in before they are placed in the laying houses. The number of hens to one male bird le of importance. It is as great a mistake to have too few hens as too many hens with one male, A fair average for "utility" breed Is twelve to fifteen hens to each cock or cock - rel. Every year the more painstaking breeder devotes time and thought to what his next mating will ba Ile thoughtfully scan his best chickens, watching for their good points and deficiencies, and If the latter is vary apparent he discards such birds from breeding pens, breeding only from the birds with good points—eggs, size and general conformation to the standard of his particular breed, observing one ' rule always, "that ieo fault shall be present in both stale .and female," for such a mating will make the fault more pronounced in the offspring. Remember, even if you have not got a wonderful lot of good hens, that pm can greatly improve your stock with a fine male bird, as it is a well known fact that the male bird is over 50 per cent. ofthe breeding pen.—S.
