Miss Carvell, who is secretary of younger groups of the Dominion Board, then brought a challenging message. Our responsibility in the missionary education of Young Pets ple and children was her theme. She pointed ont we must start with the object now is the development of Christian character. Not only do we give a portion of our worldly goods but alert a portion or every -thing we have, such its our time and ability, as an act of worship. The greatest thing we can give is ourselves. Rev.

Smelts and Suckers Make Great Sport - The second annual "smelt harvest" is in full swing here and at Port Al- bert and other points on Lake Huron. Literally bushels of this delectable 44811,a newcomer to local waters, have been caught during the past few days. News that small boys were -catching smelts with bare hands in the Nine Mile irtiVer at Port Albert spread like wildfire among Goderich sportsmen and every night since parties have been organized to visit the fishing grounds. The catch, per angler, aver. aged about two hundred an hour. As many as fourteen Goderich automo- biles were counted at Port Albert at one time. Pair resttlts also were ob- tained in daytime. Smaller catches have been made in the Maitland River, near the golf course, high water making fishing difficult Last night, at Port Albevt, it is estimated that 150 from all parts ot Huron county caught about half a ton or mullets, or suckers, and two and a half tons of smelts, They were still running at 3 aere-Goderich.

SOME ESSENTIALS IN BROODING CHICKS The normal pibiltithle egg -producing ife of the farm hen is so short that if the farmer is to maintain his flock m a sound economical basis. he is faecal with the necessity of replacing e large number of his birds each year. says W. T. Scott. Head Poultryman, Dominion Experimental Station, Hap 'ou", Ont. If his usual practice is to buy baby chicks from a hatchery and brood them himself, the poultryman must provide good brooding condi- Bons in order to develop the chicks into profitable laying stock. As 11 90 a bad practice to mix chicks of different ages. and as the brooders are available for more than two hatches only under very favourable weather conditions, sufficient mote met should be provided to accommo date at least half, if not all, of the chicks without crowding. The early hatches require the brooder heat for seven or eight weeks, and the tempt' ation to make room for the second hatch by depriving the first of the heated brooder before they are com- fortably feathered is dangerous. A sudden drop in temperature will re - suit in chilling, followed by puen. amnia and a high death toll. The utmost care and the most elate orate equipment will not raise vigor- ous, profitable chicks that have in- herited poor vitality or. sesceptibility to disease. Nor can those chieks that have met veverses in the brooding stage be raised profitably. The es- sentials that insure success are good stock, good dry draught -free houses. reliable heating, clean litter, and sue ficient "waste proof" teed hoppers to provide room for at least seventy-five per cent of the total chicks to feed at one time.

There was more or less opposition, especially from farmers, and nothing like complete observance until the scheme was per- manently adopted in 1925. The law as it stands provides that the clocks shall be put ahead the third Saturday in April, unless the following Sunday is Easter Day, when the advances shall be made on the second Saturday. The term ends on the first Saturday in October. The actual hour of changing is 2 amt. Sunday.
