ARTIFICIAL BROODING
OF CHICKS .'
(Experimental Farms Note)
In the artificial brooding of chicks,
there are a number of systems in
successful use, such as the hot water
pipe system, the force draft hot air
system, the battery system and the
colony house plan. Of these, under
general Canadian conditions for the
comparatively small grower, the rat:
ter system has proven most satisfac-
tory. For a source of heat, the coal
burning brooder stove is by long odds
the most popular, although for brood-
ing in the late spring and summer,.
oil or electricity has many advan-
tages.
The brooder stove is best used In
a portable coldny house which may
be moved from time to time through-
out the season to assure the chicks
having fresh, uncontaminated ground
over which to range. Don't over-
crowd. A 10x12 house will accommo-
date 200 to 300 'chicks nicely at the
start. Be sure to supply sufficient
heat at all times to ensure the com-
fort of -the chicks; They should be
as as
kept p coolmay be for comfort.
but should always have a source oz.
heat where they may go to rest in a
temperature of. about. 100 degrees.
No thermometer iii as good an in-
dicator' as the chicks themselves.
Their actions will tell at once wheth-
er they are comfortable or not. When
the chicks rest contentedly in a cir-
cle just outside the canopy of the
stove, you may, know that the tent,
perature•is right. If they are not
warm enough they will . quickly tell
you by their discontented chirping
and their crowding to the source of
heat. If too hot they will get as far
away from the stove as possible or
go around with their beaks open
panting for 'breath. , •
It is better to err on the side of
too much heat rather than too little
particularly in the early season.,
When the 'chicks are first put In
the brooder, o use a fine meshg uar d'
to circle the hover a couple of feet
from the edge. When they become
used to the sourceof heat, the circle,
isenlarged
,arfd.finally removed giv-
ing them the run of the entire house.
Ventilate freely but avoid 'draughts.
For further information write to ,the
Department „of; Agriculture or to
your nearest Experimental Farm for

Reap}in Chicks." ,,

TEACHING WAR VET-
' ERAN?S 'HOW TO BE-,
COME FARMERS
One of the most interesting efforts
on' behalf of the .unemployed .war
veteran -now being conducted in Can-
ada is the Experimental Farm estab-
lished a' year ago, near" Brooklin, Ont.,
a' few miles out of Oshawa. The
property of approximately 115, acres
includes a farm residence, three mod-
ern barns, a dairy, piggery and hen-
house. About -one' hundred acres of
the land are under cultivation,
'eluding a fourteen acre orchard.
At Anvets Farm returned soldiers
who wished to learn the practical sci-
eiiee of agriculture receive expert In-
struction, good board, and comfort-
able lodging without cost to them-
selves. The men ere trained in gen.
eral farm economy, and those who
o
show a special aptitude or have' a
preference for some particular branch
of farm work receive special instrue-
tions in dairy farming, poultry rais-
ing ,or whatever line they'choose . `to
follow.
When the veterans_ have qualified,
two courses are open to them. Those
who are able to finance small hoid-
ings their own areassisted in
ev-
ery way possible to establish them-
selves independently. Anvets Farm
acts- as a marketing agent for their
produce, advises them on such mat-
ters as crop rotation, and generally
keeps an eye on their progress. Men
who have not the funds to purchase
and carry their own small farms are
placed with fanners throughout On-
tario;- By reason of their special
training these men are expert in
their own lines, and so are able to
command wages higher than the
scale usually . paid to the average
farmhand.
Operation on Anvets Farm is, untie?
the supervision of Captain W T
Murchie, M,C., Ontario Provincial
President of the Army and Navy
Veterans in Canada, and Captain J.
P. Evans, Ontario Provincial Secre-
tary, Army and Navy Veterans In
Canada.

gram comprised by Miss Eleanor
Fisher; solo, Frank Battersby, ac-
companied by Mrs. W. A. Young; two,
violin solos 'by Miss Gretta Lamin,•e,

INTERESTINGLY WRITTEN UP EY A STUDENT
We have writer''s cremi7 to -day,
because we have just written eleven
pages of Ancient'.History. 'yes, 'ele-
ven'good pages, and just as'we fin-
'shed writing and thought to our-
selves that it was an awfully long
exam, we noticed that there was an'
option on one of .the questions, and
we -had written three pages which we
didn't need. That's 'the kind of thing
that makes lunatics. and minrderer•s
out of hojiest women, Maybe Fate
was playing; a; little joke; on us. , ,
personally,,:we,`tliinlc that '.Fate has a
perverted sense of humour. How-
ever, we weren't alone int our misery.
As we carie oat, a sadder and a .wis-
er girl, we heard Morgie Agnew rail-
ing against Fate in good. set terms
. 'she was another victim.' Maybe
we should .be more 'observant!

Form boys staged two of the three,
one on Monday _and one oh Thurs-
day. Last February, if you remem-
ber, Fourth Form defeated Uppers
School, ' and so the Fifth -Formers
were out for blood. They got it. It
was a lovely game;: everyone' hit ev-
eryone else, and got, up fromthe
floor bruised but; vengeful, and the•
game went on. As Fourth were short.
of their star, Chev. Levis, who was
inconsiderate enough' to break his
arm some timeback; Fifth. was able
to pile : up a score on them, while
they were barely able to keep the
tally at moderate proportions. The
score was 27-19 for Upper School.
Fourth was -full of explanations fon
i r
t efailure,they r but t y were squelch-
ed with the words of the victors:
"Phooey to you, we beat you fairly
and 'we can do it again." They
roused the ire of Fourth and - the
next game took place on Thursday
night, with a good deal of high feel;
ing on both sides. We wanted to bet
on Fourth but nobody would take us.
To our way thinking, thinkin, it was a
rough game, but we were told: by
one who knows that it was not rough
—merely close -checking,? ?. If you
check closely in girls' basketball you
get a penalty, but in • boys' games
they congratulate you on it. 'We
thought that Fourth were rather fast-
er than their opponents, and speed
counts for a lot; maybe it was just
an off -day last time. Anyway they
won the game by a score of 27-22,
thereby automatically winning the
round with two games out of three.

Fired by the example set by the
boys, Upper School girls challenged
Fourth to a gasne on Wednesday.
There was rather a large crowd
down to see 1t, and the game turned'
out to be faster than anyone ex-
pected. Fourth was a little faster
than Upper, but 'their passing was
not so neat, and their shooting in-
accurate. They threw away 'a lot
of baskets in poor'shooting. It was
an exciting game especially for those
involved. Also there -vas a lot of
close checking—(please note, not
rough playing) and in one tangle,
Mary Fear threw Faye. Lindsay right
over her shoulder in the most fear-

score was 5 all. Naturally every-

Are You Getting Smudgy Pictures? '011
Fascinating winter
scenes of all types can
be snapped with inex-
pensive cameras. Don't
let the winter stop
you.
r rIlERE are in this world many
1 amateur snapsltooters who simply
do not give their cameras it "break."
They complain of smudgy looking
pictures and sometimes believe some-
thing is radically. wrong with the.
camera. The exposures are, correct
and developing done carefully in
fresh, 'clean -chemicals but still, they.
say, the final •results are smudgy
looking prints. '
You have looked through dirty
eye glasses with probably a few fin-
ger prints on 'them. 'If you haven't
it's a sure bet that ydu have ex-
perienced the difficulty of looking
through a smudgy window. Clean
eye -glasses and clean'windoWs give
clear vision and similarly the cam-
era cannot "see" se well if its eye,
(the lens) is cloudy and smudgy
from grease, finger prints and dust
collected over a period o1 mouths:
Cleaning a leas is a 'very simple
operation, A11 you, need is a soft, um,
starched linen handkerchief and per-
haps a snatch or poneil, if the lens is
quite small, The rear surface of the
Ions can easily be reached byremov-,
g the h a I camera. If the
he. .back o f t�
camera has a double lens (one behind
and one in front of the shutter dia-
phragm), the front combination may
be removed by' turning to the left,
which will anew, .ya to
work
o
through the shutter opening when
set for "time," with the' handker-
chief over the ,cud of the match or
lead pencil. If thelens is quite dirty
breathe on it andthen rub quickly
with the handkerchief. 'Be sure,
when replacing the front lens, 'Le
screw it back into the shutter as far
as it will go.
• The suggestion to work through
the shutter opening also .applies to
cleaning the front surface of single
lenses fitted to box , cameras and
certain folding models. Iliedle the
lens carefully and don't exert too
much pressure. It isn't• necessary
and might scratch the surface..
The amount of pleasure you get
out of your camera depends almost
entirely on how much thought and
care you give it. '
Picture taking is, just like golf,
tennis, basketball<or bowling — the
more you experiment, the more
thought you give to your hobby, the
greater your reward in self The satisfac-
• • • an cod books avail -

of the latest off the press is called
"How To. -Mao Good Pictures." It is
packed with sound advice for the
beginner or the advanced amateur
and •profusely illustrated with pie
tuees of every tylia, diagrams and •
what have you, It might• be called
"The Amateur Photographer's Ref-
erence Book," but don't think for
one minute it is as "dry" as such a
