Next Season's Chicks Now that most laying flocks are housed for the winter or 'are soon to be housed, :the next important thing, to consider is next season's chick flock. Too early? Not at a'it It is good practice to plan out poultry op- erations for the entire year as 'far as :possible; this permits starting the phic'ks at the proper times so that uniform income may be obtained throughout ,the Tear. Now is a good time to begin th1i k- iitg about ,this and getting informa- tion that will help decide when and where ,to buy ohicks for the coming season. A definite decision in this matter cannot, of course, be made at the present .time, but it . is a good. plan to write to different hatcheries and breeders asking for their cat alogues, price lists, and any other in- formation that is desired. This gives an opportunity tb compare the 'beers of; the various hatcheries and breed- ers, from which a selection may be made and orders placed at the proper time. rt is none to early to• start writ- ing for information. Propagation of Bush Fruits, by Dormant Wood Stem Cuttings Multiplication of varieties of (bush ,fruits :by cuttings is a. form of 'bud propagationin contradistinction to propagation by seeds. It is a cheap and convenient way of securing a. number of plants of suds tfrtfi•ts as currants, gooseberries, 'b'lueberries and grapes. Wood of the current year's growth is' gathered in late autumn or early winter before too severe winter wea- ther has ocourred, as severe weather may injurious to this growth, es- pecially if the latter is luxuriant. This wood may be stored in a cool, damp cellar, and preferably covered with moss to prevent it from drying out, or it may made directly 'into cut- tings. The cutting wood may make one or more cuttings, according to the length of the current year's growth. Tlie cuttings are visually at feast six inches long, and should 'eo,n- tain at least two 'buds. It is not neces- sary .to cutto a bud at the base of the cutting, tthough some prefer to do chis, but the upper cut should be just above the upper bud. These 6u.t- tings should .then be tied up in bun- dles of twenty-five or more, care be- ing taken to 'have the butts of the cuttings on the same level to promote uniform callusing, The 'bundles should then be labelled. The bundles of cutting's are now ready for storage, If stored out of doors they are buried in well -drained soil, with the butts down, and a mulch of straw or leaves placed over them as protection against .frost. If stored in a cool cellar clean sharp sand may be used to store them in, and only sufficient moisture supplied to keep the sand damp. In the early spring these cuttings are planted out in nursery rows in a rich, well-prepared soil, two to three Dry Bean Crop Dry bean yields, are substantially better than was anticipated earlier owing to the .excellent grd.ving wea- ther during the Fall, In Huron coun- ty a period of wet weather caused discoloration and in some cases sprouting, but in other ,counties the quality, is for the most part god. The average yield per acre is reported at 212.9 :bushels, and total production of 10106,000 'bushels, as compared with 19,3 !bushels per acre and a total crop of '1(1105,171001 'bus'hels in 111933.

PAGE SEVEN inches apart, and at such a depth as to have the 'upper. bud just at the sur- face of the soil. To prevent suckers the lower 'bud may be removed. In some fruits ,where the cuttings are to remain in the nursery row for more than one year the cuttings may be planted further apart. Frequent clean cultivation is neces- sary if rapid growth is to be secured.• Sugar Meet Crop The total production of sugar beets in 'Ontario this year is now 'estiinated' at 2916,4100 tons from 20,000 tons har- vested from 30,300 acres ;in '19317. The commercial sugar beet crop grown in the extreme south-western counties accounted for` 215f600 acres this sea- son 'with the yield placed at 9.90 tons. per acre for a total production of. 2513,:400 tons. Both the Chatham and Wallaccburg- 'factories oommenced to receive ibeets on September 213rd, and slicing operations began on October Sth, 'Yields are greatest in Kent county with at !east Ito% tons per acre, but the outlying districts, par- ticularly Essex county, have an aver- age yield of nearly Cd tons per acre less_ The sugar content of beets is 'con- siderably above that of most seasons, and indications are that it will aver- age between '1161'/ and 117'%. The highest 'sugar oontent is in areas more remote from the factories where the tonnage per acre is lighter, Sugar beets from Essex, Lambton, and Middlesex counties 'averaged about 18% sugar while those in most of Kent county have approximately 116%. The gross return on a I3:0 -ton crop of beets with '117% sugar content will amount to V62.150 per acre for tonnage and 87.50 per acre for sugar content bonus, or a total of $70:00 per acre for factory delivery.

Boy Leaves Hospital Under His Own Power After Four Long Years Lad's Parents Don't Pay Cent For Expert Care and Treatment Eight-year-old Jim has gone back to the north country after four years in the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto. He walked out, carrying his own handbag. Four years earlier, when he was hardly more than a baby, his parents made the long journey down to To- ronto, bringing Tim with them, They appeared in the out-patients' clinic at the Hospital for Sick Children and told the doctor that Jim had a sore back. As they do with thousands of other patthetents everclinic gave he arlitt eeboycaathorrs - ough examination. Some of the ablest physicians and surgeons in Toronto were there. They took X- rays, made blood tests and "sec- tions," and found that Jim had a tubercular spine. They took him upstairs and put him to bed, while his father andmother stayed around for a few days and then went back up north. Privately, the doctors thought that Jim had scarcely a chances to get bet- ter. But they worked over him un- ceasingly, turned loose all the magic of modern medicine—for four long years, while the little boy ticked off his birthdays. Well, it worked. Jim did get bet- ter, and he walked out of the hos- pital with a strur" back set on two sturdy legs. He's up ,n^me again, in the bush country of Northern On- tario. o PARENTS DIDN'T PAY CENT And because to -day's hospitals are organized in an especially marvellous way, Jim's parents didn't pay a single cent for the four years of ex- pert care and treatment. His muni- cipality paid the Hospital for Sick Children the Public Ward rate of $1.75 a e sick youngster awy re aslaidup anry d the On- tario Government paid the statutory rate of 60c. But it cost the hospital 'at least $1.00 a day more than the $2.35. The Hospital for Sick Chil- dren invested $1,400.00 of its own money in Jim's recovery. • They do things like that every day in the week. The doctors who looked after Jim for four years donated their services, as they are continually doing for helpless young- sters who come to themwith bad tonsils, poor eyes, weak chests, hereditary diseases and a hundred other ailments. Broken bones, come in for setting. Babies who aren't feeding .properly, and older children whose teeth haven't been attended to since they were born, are looked after. The biggest men on the hospital's staff carry on their daily clinic in the morning, diagnose troubles,and give the delicate operations and care to those who are already in hospital. Last year, for instance. the highly skilled physicians and surgeons on the staff of the Hospital for Sick Children gave free of charge more than 40,000 'hours of their valuable time. C'Put a value on it --say $5.00 an hour, which is too little- •and you have more than $200,000worth of medical services given away in a single .hospitals MOST IN PUBLIC WARDS Joseph Bower Superintendent'of the Hospital, listened alertly to the question, "How about it, now; don't the doctors and hospital make some ' of this back from the private patients who can afford to pay?" "Would it be news," he asked, "that out of the 434 beds in the Hos- pital for Sick Children, 414 are in public wards? We had 9,000 patients last year, and less than five per cent. of these were private patients. "We are a public hospital, and like every public hospital, we are re- quired by law to accept any patient who comes to our doors in need of treatment. We give them everything they need, and it's not unusual f -r the hospital to furnish from 5000 to $400 worth of serum to a single pa- tient suffering from pneumorea. Whatever the cost tows, we get only our regular allowance of $2.35 a ds. per patient" Some serums are given free to the hospitals by the Provincial Depart- ment of Health; the others, not on the free list, must be paid for. It's pretty obvious, then. that the hospital has to make up its operat- ing loss some other way. This is the reason for the re;utrr annual appeal to humane and chari- table citizens for donations. The out-patients' clinic was crow- ed by 9:30 this morning. Waitlr' room and corridors were filled wit parents and children from infants to adolescents. Several hundred come here every day, many from oti'v'c.e Toronto. Of all the hundreds of fathers and mothers who brought in their ails t Uucents. There might few, who ebel bll<�a a little higher for X-ray and o:dar special work, but the majority pa:d less and many nothing at all. Look closely into the hears of the Hospital for Sick Children, and you'll find not only kindness and superb skill but an organization tart is almost unique in the world. It is a children's hospital for everyore in Ontario. drawing its patients firm every municipality even to the farth- est eorners of the province. 100,000 VISITS A YEAR "There is no statutory provision for establishing an -out-patients' de- partment in any hospital," said Mr. Bower, "But municipalities through- out the province have come to real- ize the importance of our out-pa- tients department, since a very large. proportion of the patients treated there would otherwise be occupying beds in the hospital. And that would result in a much inei•e ed financial load for the munirlpalili^s.'. So there is one reason Inc the SNP of the great daily clinic which hunts out the ills of thousanes of young- sters and results in iln^"irds of 100,000 visits a year. The Hospital, for Sick Children dna; not share in the Punas collected by the. Toronto Federation tor C.om munity Service because patients are admitted from all over. Ontario. Over $63,000.00 is needed this year to -meetthe unavoidable deficit. Even 'small gifts are not only wel- comed and appreciated but are the Hospital's assurance from the people of Ontario that they should continue the great work of serving mei: and' crippled children without regard as to race, creed or financial circum- stance. t' Your gift should .he mailed to the Appeal Secretary, The Hospital for Sick Children, 67 College street.
