Horticultural Notes
House Plants: Nearly all smooth -
leaved plants are greatly benefited by
applications of .water to their foliage,
provided the sun is not allowed to
shine on them while wet. But plants
having hairy leaves, like the •Gloxinia
and the Rex Begonia, are almost in-
variably injured by the application
of water to the foliage. Bear this in
mind, and be governed in showering
your plants by the peculiarties of
their foliage.
Transplanting: In putting out
plants in the garden, choose a cloudy
day for it, if possible. Water well
when you plant. ;Shade for a day or
two, or till they begin to grow.
Geraniums: These are het weather
plants: they like hot rooms and
steam heat, bat they cannot be ex-
pected to produce many flowers un-

The excellent results obtained 'in

Canada Since the formation of the
Federal Apple Maggot Advisory Com-
mittee still continue. Evidence 'of
the marked /decrease is, the degree of
infestation in the vartious provinces
was forthcoming 'in the reports pre-
sented at the recent annual meeting
of the Committee when several im-
portant resolutions were -adopted.
With regard to the export *f apples,
the Committee recommends -for the
consideration of the Advisory Board'
that, commencing with 1936, apples be
exported only from certified orchards;
or from orchards where applications
for certification have been approved
by the necessary authorities. The
Committee further requests that the
Advisory Board notify all commer-
cial growers of apples in the pro-
vinces concerned to that effect. In
view of the need of a clearer defiini-
tion of a "certified orchard," the Com-
mittee recommends for the considera-
tion of the provincial apple maggot
control boards that the terns "free
from apple maggot" means an or-
thard which, atter inspection, has
been found free from apple maggot
for three consecutive years.
PLAN STEPS TO FURTHER PRO-
GRESS OF OYSTER. INDUSTRY
IN CAPE BRETON
In order' to assist the oyster men
of Cape Breton in improving their,
baslness, the Dominion Department
of Fisheries is arranging to have an
oyster culture expert go to the Nova
Scotia island this suminer to set cer-
tain experimental work in motion
and to make available to producers
at first hand authoritative informa-
tion as to some phases of oyster pro-
duction methods. The arrangements

Brooding Chicks
(Experimental Farms Note)
Much of success in brooding is de,
pendent on having chicks properly
hatched from 'healthY, vigorous par-
ents.
From observations made and ex-
periments conducted at the Dominion
EXperimental 'Station, Lennoxville,
Qtle., it has been found that the most
economical and successful system is
the coal burniag brooder stove and
an adaptable colony house. This
system has so much to recommend it
that it is inadvisable to use ,any oth-
er method( can 'be operated sue-
cessfully in, either a specially built
colony house, or a -spare pen in a hen
house, which may later -be utilized
for growing stock or winter layers.
After hatching, the chinks should
be left in the incubator until they
are perfectly dry. Great care should
be exercised in transferring them to
the brooder, to avoid chill:, and the
brooder pen should be warmed for at
least twenty-four hours before the
chicks are placed in it. The chicks
should be confined close to the brood-
er for the first day, Then, as they
become accustomed to their quarters,
they may be given more liberty. Rap-
id hardening is desirable and Armor -
tent, but on no account should the
temperature be lowered to an uncom-
fortable level. The thermometer
which should read from 100 to 110 de-
grees at the edge of the hover may
be used as an indicator, but the chicks
them,sebite should be the proper
guide for regulating the temperature.
If the chicks crowd they are too
cold; if they lie spread out on the
floor, around the hover, the tempera-
ture is right.
The man who will be in charge of
the Cape Breton work is Doctor A.
W. H. Needier -who has been carrying
on oyster investigations and experi-
ments for the Fisheries Department
in Prince Edward Island and one or
two other Maritime Province areas
for the past few years. Doctor Need -
ler is one of the scientists on the
staff of the Biological Board of Can-
ada the research body which operates
under the control of the Minieterof
Fisheries, and has his headquarters at
Ellesie, P. El, L, where the board
maintains a station for oyster re-
search,
Oysters in fairly large quantities
(about 2,000 barrels in 1933, for in-
stance), are produced front beds in
the 'Eras d'Or Lake, the "Arrn of
Gold" whch cuts through Cape ,Bret-
on, but it is believed that with one
or two problems cleared up the pro-
duction could be increased and mar-
keting carried on to greater advan-
tage. And there is a Canadian mar-
ket for" increased Canadian oyster
production, for as matters stand now
there is. a large annual importation
of oysters from foreign sources.
Some examination of the Bras d'Or
oyster situation was made by Doctor
Needier last year in company with a
representative of the provincial de-
partment concerned—the "lake", by
the way, is really an inland sea, con-
nected with the Atlantic — and the
steps now to be undertaken were
subsequently decided upon as likely
to ,meet the present case. Three steps
in particular are in mind. One Is
the experimental transfer of a quails
tity of marketable oysters from pre-
sent producing beds in the lake to
other Bras d'Or- points where water
salinities are higher, for some Cana-
dian consumers find the Cape Breton
oysters not quite as silty as their
taste desires and the experiment will
indicate whether added saltiness in
flavour may feasibly be obtained by
holding the oysters in areas of the
highetssalinity range for a short time

Putting le -More Salt '
'The experiment in transferring
market .size oysters from present pro-
clueing beds to other grounds where
water salinities are higher will be the
step of chief 'immediate importance
The saltiness of oysters js quietly
influeneed lyr the salinity ef the
water over the beds and, as already
indicated, salinity, is relatively low
in those' Bras d'Or areas where oys-
ters are now fished commercially. At
the same time, in some other parts of
the lake, nearer the open. water, sal-
inities run to higher levels and by"
placing oysters at :some of these
spots for a month or so before ship-
ping them; to market an increased
saltiness of flavour .may be obtained.
This is what will be tried out. If
the experiment is successful it will
point the way for similar action In
the future by individuals or associa-
tions engaging in oyster production
in that part of the world-. And, of
course, for consumers who prefer the
less salty flavour there will still -be
available the oysters marketed direct
from the low salinity Iteds.
As a inatter of fact, the transfer
experiment will also have a second
purpose. It may help to answer the

EQUINE "PANHANDLER"
-FRIEND OF DOWN -TOWN CITY
It has been said that the, city pan-
handlers work certain beats in the
down -town sections of big cities; but
it -remained for "Old Dick" to organ-
ize his "beat" so that nothing in the
way of "gifts" from the generous
'hearted is missed, "Old Dick" is
probably unique and he has a distinct
personalty which has won for him
the friendship of Toronto's 'business
men and women, These run up into
the thousands and range all the way
from the humble office boy to the
"hardboiled" business executive, who

his exploring nose ferret it out. Then
"Old Dick" would hold the dainty in

to put it on his hand and feed him
