Whit- ing, of Port Kelts, B. C., qualified 'as a real chaanpion egg layer. This bird, a beautiful specimen of the breed, weighs just 5.2 pounds. From Nov- ember 1, 1929, to October 30, 1930, she laid 29.9 dozen eggs: which weigh- ed 52 pounds, or just ten tunes her own weight. Her record is official. in the fullest sense of the term. During the entire period of the • contest she. was entirely out of the hands of her owner and under the competent neu- iii"' trai supervision of the federal 'egg - laying contest. This hen shows con- clusively the'' possibilities of Canada's national poultry -breeding policy. Canadian Cattle Sent' the British ' Buyers '' Analysis of the report' on the re sults of the test shipment of 1,028. head of range cattle from Western Canada, arranged by the Dominion Live Stock Branch, shows that well- bred cattle of medium weights and good flesh will be well received on the British markets, particularly- during the store cattle ,season. They res- pond readily to feeding, making good gains. It is noted that the presence of horns, also of conspicuous brand marks, have a bearish effect in prices. The older cattle in the shipment 'prov- ed disappointing, indicating that the .market is essentially. for young stock. Another thing apparent is that the Old Country buyers place a premium on apparent quality. Some of ,;the last shipment of three -year-olds' to llfanchester netted shippers $67.75 a- piece sold for slaughter and'evoked favourable comment on the way theyt dressed out. Prices realized were no as high as hoped for in some cases; they were in' several instances better than offered at home. Pick the Good Ones This is the time of the year when the value of trapnest records for hens has its greatest value. In selecting birds for breeding pens George Rob- ertson, Poultry Husbandman at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, advises that vigor is the outstanding qualification to watch. for in hens. The birds which pay nowadays are only those having sufficient stamina to stand up to ' heavy egg'production: Size, body -type, volume and size of eggs are important. The trapnest re-` cord is a useful guide in the .selection. of birds of the right type. Equal' care should be taken in the selection r of the male bird, which should be strong and vigorous. and preferably the progeny of a dam of proven pro- duction ability. He should be select- ed carefully for quality, and if he is the right type he will look it. WROXETER Quite a number from here went to Teeswater to'witness the hockey match.

Later on we find David, the 'sweet singer of Israel, ap- pointing one, Herman, a singer of the tribe of Levi to lead the musical part of the temple service. It is no new thing to .be a choir leader.
