Canada supplied 20 per cent of
the total wheat imports,. into. Japan;

of lumber, pulp, newsprint and zinc.
Research experiments have shown
that the original quality, flavour and
colour of honey in storage can best
be maintained at a temperature of 40
degrees, Fahrenheit, or lower, and
that rapid deterioration takes place
at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. If the
temperature is low and constant, ex-
tracted honey can. be stored indefin-
itely without change of colour or
flavour and without fermentation. •
Exercising the Breeding Ewes
The matter of exercising the ewe
flock should not be considered light-
ly. If strong lambs are to be had,
pregnant ewes should have access to
a run at all times. If necessary,
spread hay on the snow so as to
force them to move. This will help
to keep them in good health. Avoid
crowded quarters. Not only are they
unsanitary, but they are the cause
of many abortions,•
Retain Early Layers
In studying the income from eggs
in 121 farm flocks, it was found that
the pullets which laid from 25 to 30
per cent of their total production
during the pullet year in October,
November and December, brought a
much larger egg income than the
birds in flocks that laid only 10 per
cent during the three months men-
tioned. This was partly due to the
fact that the eggs from the early
laying Peeks brought an average of
five cents "a dozen more than those
from the flocks that began laying
later in the season.
The cost of the feed for the early
laying flocks was only 1%, cents
pioro per dozen eggs produced than
for the later laying birds, thus net-
ting 31/4 cents more per dozen. Aside
from this, the early Iaying flocks
produced 49 more eggs per bird per
year than the later laying flocks,
ifigh egg production, with the larg-
est possible number of eggs pro-
duced during that portion of the sea-
son are very important factors in the
annual income that is received from
the flock,
ti ~ Raising Geese
The essentials to success in goose
raising are free range and an abun-
dance of tender grass or clover. The
geese should start to lay about the
middle of Marcia, and the eggs should
be set as soon as possible. It is ad-
visable to sprinkle the eggs with
luke warm water once daily when set
under the mother goose or under
hens, and twice daily when set in an
incubator. Goslings require warmth
after hatching and should be left
under the goose or in the incubator
for about two days.
When the goslings are ready for
feeding, place a green sod near the
brooder in order that they may, pull
the tender shoots. For the first' few
days they should be fed bread crumbs
moistened with milk. When they are
about a week old give them a moist
mash composed of equal weight's of
corn meal, barley ineal, bran 'and
shorts, feeding three or four times a
day for about two weeks.
Give the goslings a good start,
then turn them out on 'good pasture,
and discontinue the feeding of mash.
They should be protected from cold
tains, confined at night until the
weather gets warin, and always
Have plenty of shade and fresh wat•
Clear Cutting Second,. Growth
Hardwood
A heavy financial loss is sustained
by the owner of a second -growth
Ivoodlot if it is clean cut when the
trees are in the small diameter clas-
ses.
What size should a tree be, when
eat, in order that the highest finan-
cial returns may realized. Clearly,
it retest vary with the market condi-
tions and the species, but there are
ileberal relationships between trees of
large and small diameters that
should be undee'see 41 and given care
fur consideration.
All species.oftrees should not be
cut indiscriminately , for fuel -wood
as some; such as white ash, walnut,
oak, pine and sprues, on account of
qualities of the wood have a very
high value for special purposes and
much' higher financial returns over a
period of years will be realized if
they are left to grow to timber size.
All trees have to go through the
seedling, sapling and polewood stag-
es, and during this time the annual
wood growth is only a fraction, when
compared to the annual growth when
it is in the larger diameter classes.
The general rule is that the annutl
growth of wood on a • trees increases
as the tree increases in size.
A sugar maple tree 2 inches in
diameter and 30 feet in height is
likely 25-30 years old. There is a
very small quantity of wood in the
tree at this stage, and if it is eutl
now, 25-30 years will elapse before
a tree 2 inches in diameter will
grow to take its place. On the oth-
er hand, if it was left to grow for
thirty years it would likely be 7" to
8" in diameter. In the table printed
below 170 trees two inches in diam-
eter are required for a cord while
only 13 trees are required if the
trees are 7 inches in diameter. As-
suming that the tree is 30 years old
when. it is 2 inches in diameter, and
60 years old when 7 Inches in diam-
eter, by these figures the tree has
grown 13 times as much wood the
second thirty years as it did the first
thirty years.
The table taken below is taken
from United States Bulletin No. 753,
printed by the Department of Agri-
culture.

less special permission in writing is
first obtained from the Veterinary
Director Generale

years are recalled each Friday at

hour's musical reflection, and with an
instrumental background brings the
voices of Winnifred Bllston, soprano,
and Fred Jarvis, baritone, with an
intimate collection of melodies. •
John Bowman, dance and concert
maestro, has the happy faculty of
coining singuarly choice expressions,
the latest being "alleged medley,"
with which he refers to his dance -
time tid-bit in each . "Knights of
Gladness" program. (8.00 p.m. EST,
Wednesdays). Ile also resents his
announcer's habit of referring to him.

though a perfect 42, still retains the
contours of youth. It must be ob-
served, however, that waistline or
no, his music leaves nothing to be de-
sired.

musical festivals, and leader of the

Wednesday night Commission feature
from Saskatoon. Since this group
went on the tie, no less than three of

SHE WAS:KIND
"She was a teacher
Very many years,"
He said to me,
"And if she wearied
Of the daily grind, .
We never knew
For she kept smiling
yrs school teachers do.
"And I cannot recall
.fust what she taught,-
Nor what her methods were
That brought
Achievement to us
In that school of yore.
"It has been long -
Dim e. ie her face,
Those days are fair behind;:`;
Nor do I ]snow ,
The color of her eyes, her hair,
Nor; whether she, was plain
Or passing fair:
And though she stood each morning;;,
At the door;,
I cannon recollect,
single dh�ess she wore..
"But one thing lives'--'
A -memoyas radiant:
As the Sirius star
That hangs• beneath theme
On the wall of space.
And takes its shining way
Across the winter;, sky -
A silver thread
That will forevermore
In its pattern trace
Upon the scroll of years
As they unwind-,
The one thing I remember--
She
emember She was kind."
