DEATH TO THE COCKEREL New breeds of fowls which pro- claim their sex at hatching by the color of their plumage are, as they become generally adopted, saving many tons of Britain's precious anl- ntai feeding staff's. For this is the only 100 per cent accurate method by which cockerels of a pure breed can be deteced " and killed off at matching, leaving the available feed- ing stuffs for the more valuable egg - producing pullets. "Sex -linking" of different breeds, to give cockerel chicks the color of the hen and pullet chicks that of the cock, has been practised for many years, but the disadvanage is that pure breeds have always to be used, for re -crossing destroys the color dif- ference. Another method of determin- ing the sex of the newly hatched chick is the old method of examining Hislop's.

WARTIM :.ARD TC 5 W Ottawa, August 3rd, 1942 tine moat skilful hands, which nraY prove rather costly, Only 95 Per cent accuracy is obtained; moreover, the fragile chick, is apt to suffer damage through clumsy handling. But the new setf•Sekiug breeds, evolved at the Cambridge School of Agrieulture as the result of studying the barring on the feathers of poul- try, ucw fly the color differences per. inanently, and any backyarder can go on breeding indefinitely with them, telling at a glance which of his chicks are pullets and which cock- erels. Breeds so far evolved are the Camber (front the Campine and Barred Rock), Dorbar (Doking-bar- red), Brussbar (Brown Sussex bar- red) and Bafttier•. These breeds are already developed to a commercial egg -laying standard and it now re- mains for British breeders to devote to them the selective breeding skill they have used with such success on other popular varieties like Rhode Island Reds, White and Black Leg - horns, White Wyandottes and 'so on. One of the latest developmens of the science of ,genetics, sex-linked heredity was originally observed in such human defects as color blind- ness and haemophilia (or "bleeding"), in which, although only males were affected, many of the females of a family were able to transmit the defect to their sons but not to their daughters.

'Not an ounce of new wool goes into then. They emerge from rags collect- ed from all the world—worn-out uniforms. pullovers, old socks. Sort- ing our of these rags is a highly spe- cialised industry. The women and girls who do it can tell by a touch if the rags contain cotton: should there be any in them it is dissolved by a special process leaving the wool fi- bres intact. Dust and dirt are removed by a vigorous shaking and oil is poured over the rags to lubricate their fibres. A fast revolving cylinder covered with sharp locked teeth tear the rags into a woolly fibrous mass. From then on the fibres are turned into cloth in the same way as new wool is carded, spun and woven oar the mach- inery which in peace time makes tweeds, coating, blazers and flannels. 2t is hard to believe that the stiff, thin piece of cloth which appears will ever become a blanket with a soft, thick pile, It is first scoured in a• soda solution and then it is milled and felted until it is just the width required. After a thorough washing in warm water the cloth is passed through a wringing machine and dried. At this stage the cloth looks more like a blanket. It next passes through the brushing' up or raising machine which has hundreds of tiny wire hooks that claw at the fibres and pull them up to give the blaukety feel. Scarcely anything is lost in the whole process of manufacutre: dur- ing the last hundred years it has be- come almost a fine art. The loose fibres removed by friction In the shrinking or milling process go to make flocks for mattresses. The waste left over from the finishing processes is no use as textile mater- ial: it is however full of nitrogen and goes off to manure the hop gar - dents of Kent and the orchards of Somerset, Even the oil and soap are recovered and utilised. Nothing is wasted. A man on holiday had been told he would find splendid sport on the lower reaches of the creek and along the lagoons bordering' the river, Gun in hand, he wandered for miles with- out getting a shot, and was crossing a bridge on the way back to the hotel in the late afternoon when he met a small freckled boy. "Is there anything to shoot about here?" he asked. The boy scowled thoughtfully and shook his head. Then his face bright- ened up "Here's the schoolmaster coming across She bridge now!" he exclaimed, vioos B�Y S GI RLS LOCAL NEyVSpg04 r4 These Combination Offers are the Biggest Bargains of the year and are fully guaran teed.
