The Annual Chick Bill
February is the month which marks
the opening of one of Canada's larg-
•est seasonal occupations -baby chick
production. A committee of experts
aaf the Department of Agriculture: at
Ottawawhich met recently, estimat-
ted that to maintain Canada's poultry
flocks at their present total of ovi:r
fifty million birds a s ipply of eighty
million baby chicks will he needed.
Experience shows that 80 per cent,
•of this huge total will not survive the
-ir.st three weeks of their exsitcnee,
25 per cent. will be the victims of
disease, while a further 5 per cent.
pili become the prey of predatory
animals or die from other causes.
With an estimated value .of $25 per
Hundred this means a chick loss of
;=er $6,000,000. .

New Egg Storage
Gas storage,,a new development in
keeping eggs fresh until the market
is ready to absorb them is interesting-
ly described in the current issue of
the News .Letter of the Dominion
Dairy and Cold Storage Branch at
Ottawa. Briefly described, the eggs
Packed in 15 -dozen packages and
placed in a metal container known as
an Auto -clave. When these are plac-
ed in the storage compartment the
air within the Autoclave is pumped
ry
, carbon dioxide
and replaced 7laced with n
off 1
gas, As a further precaution against
the presence of oxygen in or near
the eggs the air outside the container
is also drawn off and replaced by
COs. Theoretically, and it is proving
true in practice, an egg stays fresh
directly in proportion to the extent
to which it contains CO,, and the two
bug bears of cold storage, mould
growth and fungi, can develop only
it the presence of oxygen with a hu-
.rnidity of 85 degrees at temperatures
'of 88 degrees F, or over. Owing to
the absence of oxygen no mould
growth takes place and the egg comes
out of storage in a most attractive
conditions.
An Ounce of prelention
The use of potassium iodide is urg-
cd °by animal husbandry o tperts of the
D6miniou Depattment of Agriculture
1
as one of the most important.prevent-
atives for, goitre available. The sav-
ing of one lamb more than pays for
the cost of this chemical . for the
whole flock. Iodine is not simply a I
sheep cure, it is advocated in all class -
,es of live -stock feeding, particularly.
during the winter months when stock
have not'access to minerals' which
they would secure under summer con-
ditions, The most convenient way of
feedings
potassium iodide is to mix
it with the salt fed to the stock, the
dosage varying according to
g y g g the class-
of
lass
of stock to which it is•fed. Detailed
information in this regard may be se-
cured by writing to officials of the
Department at Ottawa through the
Publications Branch.
World Record Layer
A •pert little' White Leghorn hen

B.C., must have tak'en to heart the
slogan of .Egg'Laying Contests in
Canada, "An egg a day keeps the axe
away." So far as official records go
no lien has yet been able to lay an
egg a day the year round, but No
Drone 5H, as Mr. Whiting's hen is
named, carne within eight of a per-

of the rare:` but beautiful traditional
sayings of the Lord is referred to the
firstoccasion of his speaking the
words of this verse.
Carry no purse. Christ's messeng
,yrs are to go out in the same 'spirit
as they would go to the services of
the temple, avoiding all distractions.
No Wallet. This was the Jew's bag
for food when travelling among Gen-
tiles or Samaritans. No shoes. Not
that they were, to go unshod, but they
were not to carry a change of sandals.
And salute no man on the way. This
does not mean, that they were to be
discourteous, but . they were not to
take time for the long, tedious, for-
mal, and usually meaningless saluta-
tions of Orientals.
And into whatsoever house ye shall
enter. Christ takes it for granted.that
wherever they go, they will not r,eed
to 'seek out inns, but will be `freely
entertained at, private houses..First
say, Peaoe be to this house.' This, the
customary salutation, was to be cour-
teously given.
And it a son of " peace be there.
A "son of peace" is a man. of peace-

the disciples' hearts, shall fill also the

shall turn to your again. If no soul
be in the house fitted to receive: the
influence of the gospel salutation,
then it will return to bless the mes-
senger who uttered the greeting,".

RECEPTION.
But into:; whatsoever city ye shall
enter and .they receit;e you not. All
Christian workers. must always expect
to encounter. some of this sort; Chris-
tian work in itself is a test, disclos-
ing them. Go.. out into the streets
thereof and pray. We need the' Spir-
it's guidance in giving up a fruitless`
enterprise as •much as in taking up
a hopeful one. And a public'condem-
nation is wise, for it may arouse con-
sciences; it is a. sol,enin, final appeal.

cleaveth to our feet; we wipe off

paration, - Nevertheless `know this,
that the kingdom of God. is come

vation which Christ offers, determines
his own fate, passes judgment on him-
self as unworthy of eternal life.
THE MISSIONARIES' RESULTS.
And. the seventy returned with joy.
The Seventy had met with great and
unexpected success, and were full of
joy; but if their journey had seemed
to be a'' failure, they would have re-
turned and laid their failure at'the
feet of Jesus, that he might trans-
form it into success. `Saying,' Lord,
even the demons'are subject to thy
frame. Christ virtually said to his
messengers, "Thank God for what
you have accomplished, but do not
stay there; there are greater possibil-
ities than these if you will look' to.
my larger end."
In the. sante hour he rejoiced in
the Holy Spirit. As. this same Spirit
had led Jesus into the: wilderness' for
his combat with the devil, so now he
joined with Jesus in rejoicing over
the anticipated conquest of the ad -
versary. And said; I thank thee, 0
Father Lord -of heaven and earth,
that thou didst hide these things. The
affairs of the kingdom of heaven, the
teachings of salvation, the principles
of the gospel. From the wise and un-
