The current monthly letter of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, in deal- ing with the subject of power sup- plies and requirements at the present time, confirms strikingly the conclu- sions reached. by Dr, F. A. Gaby, Chief Engineer of the Hydro -Electric Power Commission of Ontario, in Ms comprehensive published analysis of power trends. The provision of adequate electrical power to Meet actual demartids, .with reserve margin to ensure continuous service and to take up the temporary slackening that occurs during depres- sion, is a subject regarding which many conflicting Statements lave been made, but which can readily beunder stoo"d if the basic considerations set out in these surveys are kept in. mind. Broadly speaking, growth ;in elec- trical demand in the more populated portion of Ontario during the eight- een years up to> 1930 was of the or- der of 11 per •cent. per year, a rate of growth that had been consistently maintained throughout this 1dng per- iod. The arrangements for new pow- er supplies to meet these growingde- mands must be taken in hand well ine advance; beacuse it takes several years ,tet , arrange for waterpower lea$- es, to draw alp designs, and to carry out construction projects for' large hydro -electric power plants. This, on a million -horsepower system, 'means that hundreds of thousands of horse- power must be planned or contracted for 'and under construction, in addi- tion to the power actually in use at any time., The other main consideration is, 'how much reserve power capacity in ,excess of actual demands is it .con- sidered good practice to maintain ac- tually available? To care for ordin- ary operating contingencies and en- sure continuous reliable service, many large power undertakings keep a re- serve or spare capacity on hand of 30 nee cent. or more. :The 'hydro -Elec- tric Power Commission of Ontario, with. its uniformly high standards. of contsrnction and other favourable cir- cumstances, is able to maintain its service with a minim= reserve cap- acity of but 10 per cent. These min- ium ' percentages 4pply to prosperous`, ti es and represent the desirable spare capacity at the time of the day ..iT's LIVER THAT MAKES YOU FEEL S0' WRETCHED Wake up your Liver Bile —No Calomel necessary For you to Seal healthy and happy, your.•. liver must pour two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels, every day.

Correspondingly, when there is an in- dustrial depression,, extra power re- eerve capacity in accordance with the amount of idleness. of factories lutist be kept on hand. Otherwise the fac- tories could not resume operation and re-employ their workmen when' the dawn of recovery appears. Of course, 'in the meantime, until general industry fully resumes its nor- mal demandsfor power; it iinport • ant to keep the cost of maintaining these necessary special power reserves as low as possible. The Hydro Corn-. mission is accomplishing this through" contracts under which the reserve power is used for producing steam, but such power can immediately be. withdrawn' at -any time it. is . required: for the Hydro .municipalities or for the maintenance of a supply of firm power. As a result .of these efforts, there was in December, 1933, no com- mercial power capacity idle on any of the Commission's systems owned by Hydrb municipalities except the Niagara system, and even on that sys- tem, the amount of unutilized com- • mercial capacity was less than 125;- 000 horsepower, or ).0 . per cent. of the 1,257,000 horsepower total avail- able.

He pointed out that 90% of a Kingston' firm's business was making ruining machinery: Mentioning Byrdo, it was here that Mr. McCrea'classed Mr. Hepburn as a "wrecker and ',not : a builder." He said we have Hydro to -day because the Conservatives had championed it. He said that the people of. Ontario had been `saved $30,000,000 by Hydro in 1932, in comparison with rates for similar service in the United States. He said the Liberals say, Hydro is all wrong but they got a clean sheet for the Commission who investigated. Mr. McCrea said that. before the last session the Liberals had said that they -would expose the Government but it has been the quietest session in his 23 years in the House. All: the bombs thrown by the Liberals turned out to be duds. ' Staple, sound government had al-' ways been the' boast of .the Conserva- tive party of Ontario and he.said like the British they would stay put and ride the ship of state succee,sfiil:Iy'out of the storm. `Mr. McCrea stated that it was the duty of the. province to tide the un- employed people over this depression time and the government took that responsibility. In eulogizing his leader, Mr. Mc- Crea . said George Henry is an out standing capable citizen and the beer. policy will be safe in his•hands along temperance -line. He said the Liber- als are not united .and many Liber als will vote for 'George Henry ,thus election because, they want stability and'are jealous of the institution that we have. Due to the late hour of the after- noon Mr. George Spotton, M.P.; only spoke for a few moments but he took time to tell his audience that the Ben- nett administration was the first gov- ernment to have the courage to in- vestigate big busiriess concerns and that much good will come from this investigation.

MORTALI`T'Y IN BABY CHICKS (Experimental Farms Note) It is a regrettable truth that, with the rapid expansion which has taken place in the :poultry industry in the past decade, there has been an in- creased mortality that seems to be out 'of proportion to the increase in number of chickens hatched. It would be hard 'to sywhat single ag- ent has been mostly responsible for the high death rate but, where :mor- tality is abnormal, th'e cause may be traced to one or more of the follow- ing hazards: inferior or diseased breeding stock; faulty incubation; poor brooding P g or equipment; imf d' ,Gr tx Saar a�in� at the Hub Bu: mess Sale Ev nil• ry this 6A,MustSold not '. ass tela i opportunity Ever t for ' � !:L et.

Reputable hatcheries have exorcized every ef- fort to safe -guard their own interests and their customers by blood -testing, vaccination, drastic culling of inferior birds, careful attention to sanitation, and the' introduction of only new blood that showed vigour and vital- ity. Stock distributed from a source where these vital precautions have been practised may be as reliable as any hatched on the home plant but, where the source of supply either of eggs or of chicks is in doubt, the risk of disease and high_, mortality is in- deed great. We have found in all lay- ing contests that, when there is a congregation of large numbers of birds from various origins, the mor- tality is high; and this risk must be present in a greater degree when baby chicks are produced and distributed under siknilar conditions. Poor vital- ity and hereditary disease in the par- ent stock are greatly responsible for high mortality in chicks, but poor fertilizer mixtures. The improvement brooding equipment and methods con- in the grade of mixed fertilizers has tribute in no small degree -to the dis- been due in part to the increased pro- asters that follow errors in this res- pect. Uneven temperatures, over- crowding, with improper ventilation, and Tack of sunlight, eourage toe - picking, cannibalism, and rickets -- tribute to a great extent to the mor- tality. The modern incubator, in capable hands, has -almost disposed of the danger from faulty incubation and it is seldom that disaster can be traced to this cause. Better knowledge of breeding, feeding, and rearing, has been acquired by scientific research and investigation, resulting in the el- imination of many hazards and as- sisting to a great extent in the ex- pansion of the industry. When necessary, full advantage should be taken of the information available at any Dominion Experi- mental Farm.

The results obtained from the ap- plication of these mixtures appears to be much the same as those from equivalent quantities of mixtures of ordinary stt'ength, Itt experiments conducted by the • Division of Chem- istry at the Central Parni, Ottawa and. at several of the branch fauns of the Experimental Farms system a 4-8-10 mixture has been compared with a 8- 16-20 mixture, the .latter applied at one half the rate of the former. The results show that the'"double strength fertilizer has ' given as good returns as the less concentrated mixture. i Ammonium phosphate has been j found to be a very satisfactory source of nitrogen and phosphoric acid and may be used in the preparation of high analysis mixtures. I� an exp ert - nent conducted at the branch Experi- ental Farm at Ag ss a..tz, ii,C, an ap- plication of ttvo hundred and ei y hl f tJ pounds of a mixture prepared, front ammonium phosphate and muriate of potash gave an average yield of 20.9: torts of nnutgels per acre, over a per- iod of four years. Six hundred and. c` hty pounds of a second mixture prepared from sulphate of ammonia, 16% superphosphate and rout"late of tore gave an average yield of 19.9 tons per acre.. In this same experi- ment the yield of inangels was 20.9 tons per acre where triple superphos- phate was used as the source of phos- phoric acid. A. HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES iN CANADA SPRING Spring more than any of the other four seasons calls forth a kindly feel-, ing, if we are to judge by the many familiar quotations which describe spring as "gentle" or "sweet" and as- sociating this particular season with "thoughts of love." The housewife's feelings may "still be continue but. necessity has given to her a practical view of life. Spring time to the housewife is a time for cleaning but spring cleaning is not what it was in. the old days — thank goodness for that! When floors were entirely covered with,•carpets, well tacked down, when heavy drapes adorned the windows and furniture and when vacuum clean- ers were unknown, the "storm troops". were called in: when rooms were to be given a real cleaning. Novtthat homes are differently furnished, and we have facilities for regular cleaning, the: hones can be kept clean at all times, and spring cleaning is just an extra. polish in keeping with the spirit of the season. Just as houses used to be -smother- ed in.heavy carpets and hangings, so the human body was laden with heavy woollens, the women encasing' them- selves in corsets. under stuffed dress- es. The house was kept tightly seal- ed against the :cold and so the people, of those felt "good old days" y half- dead when spring came and quite mat- urally they thought that they needed sulphur and molasses to free them of the winter's evils and sar,sparilla to, purify 'their blood. Spring would not have been complete for them without some decoction which could be called a spring tonic. Many people still live in the past. They be found d t ut a bottle of medicine, that a "tont" takes the place of fresh air, sunshine; exercise and proper foods, S'ttn1iglft'and ,`ftd s'.'air are' the real spring 'tonics and they' eost, nothing;'. With the coming of Spring, as"rntrclr: time as possible should' be spent 'in the open air and r:un'sliine. Start to walk all or part of the way to work; take a stroll otrt.side ai lrlrreh time and in this way get exercise, fresh air and a.. sunshine. v,'. When resuming regluar exercise, go at it slowly. Stop before you are ex- hausted. Regulate your exercise ac- cording to your age. For the child and young adult, vigorous games are -. good; after thirty, ''moderation' and avoidance, of `overstrain are desirable. The secret of good health lies in a balanced diet, fresh air, sufficient exercise and rest. Use water freely inside and outside. Secure regular el- imination. .Be moderate in all things.

Omit oil spray for red mite this year. On trees on which San Jose Scale was not conspicuous Iast year, use only, 3-6-40 73ordeaux. Pears—Where Pear Psylla is trou- blesome use a 2% lubricating oil spray; elsewhere omit spray. Plums—On Japanese Plums omit the first spray, Peaches—Where San Jose' Scale is not present, spray with 'Bine sulphur 1-5 or Bordeaux Mixture 3-4-40; else- where use lune sulphur 1-7. Sweet Cherries --Use one-half putt nicotine sulphate, and 2 lbs. soap to 40 gallons water, Iu setwtion, or orchards where there is not winter injury or no appreciable injury, the spray calendar recommen- dations should be followed. • eyed R 1 "Baby's Own Tablets bave been the only medicine, rrty ur children flame ever had.
