An easily -made dusting boat
e u help poultry raisers to beat
%e ever-present problem of lice
quite effectively.
With three parts litter and
clie part 3% DDT powder in a
sting box, hens in New Hemp -
ire experiments were rid of
lice within about four days.

• It takes about three bushel
vegetable boxes 22"x22"x6" to
handle 100 birds.
Dr. R. L. Blickle, who tested
this method, found One trouble
--- the box won't work with
$Oster$. Roosters don't dust. If
yeti want them lice -free, you'll
probably have to dust them by
hand.
If it's fast- gri"vvth, king-size
broilers and' high' feed efficiency
that you want, use a high -
anergy, all -pellet ration, says
MVlassachusetes. poultryman Harry
Grant.
* .w *
By feeding all pellets after
seven weeks you can cut feed
wastage, get top consumption,
and quick gains, says Grant
* *
Runner-up in feeding meth-
ods is a high-energy, all -mash
ration, supplemented with one-
third or more all -mash pellets.
This is a handier feeding plan
If you use an automatic feeder.
., * ,
Regardless of how you feed,
don't expect any birds to . walk
farther than 10 feet to get a
drink, Grant Observes.
For feeder and waterer space,
he advises following these stan-
dards Of the American Feed
Manufacturers Association:
Feeder space per chick:
• One day old to two weeks
-" 1 linear inch.
+.Three to six weeks 2
inches.
• Seven weeks and older --
3 inches.
Watering space per 100 chicks:
• Day se.ld to two weeks --- 20
linear incises of water trough,
or two 1 -gallon fountains.
• Three weeks and older --
40 linear inches or two 3 -gallon
fountains.
After several years of re-
search, Michigan State College
engineers believe that they are
nearing their goal - a work-
able, self-feeding, upright silo.
B. F. Cargill, the engineer in
charge, says this silo has fed
about 25 dairy cattle all winter,
with not more than half ' an
hour's work a week.
*
Here's how it works:
To keep the silage up in place,
and prevent it frem whomping
down on the cow's head. Cargil
put seven hydraulic jacks inside
the beams. A piece of channel
iron across the top of each jack
acts as a bridge under the sil-
age.
When Cargill wants silage
down, he merely lowers the
jacks and slips them out ---
maybe not all of them, but as
many as necessary to drop down
a good batch.
To help hold the silage up,
and also to help work it down
for feeding, the engineers added
a "rocker" bar to seven of the
supporting beams of the silo.
These bars are V-shaped, pivot
on the bottom, and can be push-
ed and pulled, back and forth,
to let silage drop or to hold it
up. w e v
When the, engineers first started.
work . en the •Problem, they fig-
ured that a shaft up through the
middle of the silo would work
like a pencil stuck through a
sheet of paper. The silage would
slip down around it, and spread
over the cone-shaped bottom, to
the outside, where cows could
reach it easily.
Trim - Kinuko ho, Miss Japan
of 1953 as well as Tokyo's num-
ber -one fashion model, will soon
make her movie debut. She's
due for.a role in the movie titled
"My All,"
•
Trouble was, though, that the
silage would. either lodge up
above the cows' heads, or come
down in one big "whamp."
When the silage froze in the
winter, it took chain saws and
crowbars to get the stuff down.
The new silo gets around a
lot of the failings of the first
self -feeders.
* *
Does the silage freeze in this
new model self -feeder? Yes,
says Cargill. But when the cat-
tle keep nibbling away at it, it
doesn't• seen to matter.
Cows can get their feet in the
silo, but small rads in between
each of the supporting I -beams
keep thein from walking all the
way in. And with hydraulic
jacks and cross -arms holding
the silage up, there's no danger
of silage crashing down on the
cow's head, as happened dur-
ing early trials.
* *
No doubt the e>,grneers will
make a few other adjustments
before they feel that they have
the silo perfected. But they're
pleased with the way it worked
this winter. It .looks like a real
step toward getting rid of the
silage tub for good.

Lottery Tickets
Author Bernard Newman
found policemen in Indo-China

travellers lottery tickets.
In his book "Report on Indo-
China," he says his route was
dotted with check -points where
police halted traffic to question
the occupants of vehicles.
As the policemen moved from..
car to car they invited passers- '.
gers to buy lottery tickets. Com-

only casually.
"If you had not been here .1

P'ertilixers
It is becoming more and more
difficult t0 get manure. And
even if we are lucky enough to
locate a supply,often it is so
filled with weeds, that there is a
good deal of trouble. Mere and
more the gardener is forced to
us& a substitute.
Commonist of all, is chemical
fertilizer, which comes in bags
Or boxes with a formula attach-
ed showing the percentage
of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash, the major ingredients
necessary, This ferticizer should
be used carefully and .according
to directions. It is best dissolv-
ed
issolyed in water and applied that
way or sprinkled or mixed with
the soil just before a rain or a
thorough watering with a hose.
This prevents it burning tender
foliage and roots. Where water-
ing is not feasible, one is advised
to sprinkle lightly over the soil
near but not actually touching
roots or plants, and work in with
a cultivator.
Memory Selection: Beware
that thou forget not the Lord '
thy God, in not keeping his coni- -
mandments. Deuteronomy 8:11.
King Jeroboam thought it
would be impossible to retain his
leadership of the ten tribes if
they continued going to Jeru-
salem to worship. So he made
two calves of gold and said to
the people, "It is too much for
you to go up to Jerusalem: be-
hold .thy gods, 0 Israel, which
brought thee up out of the land
'of Egypt. And he set the one
in Bethel, and the other put he
in Dan. And this thing became
a sin." He also made priests of
• the lowest of the people, which
were not of the sons of Levi.
Thus Jeroboam led Israel into
sacrificing to the golden calves.
After his death he is repeatedly
referred to as Jeroboam, the son
Of Nebat, who mede'Israel to sin.
Judgment for the. sinner may
be delayed, but it always comes,
in this life and in the life to
come. Warning- first carne from
a prophet from Jetddh. Jeroboam
put forth his hand to arrest the
prophet anFl immediately it dried
up. He then begged the prophet
to pray for hint; and his hand
was restored. But Jeroboam did
not change his ways,. The death
of his son was a sign that the
dreadful prediction of the pro-
phet Ahijah would surely come
to pass. Still Jeroboam did not
repent. On his death his son suc-
ceeded to his throne, A con-
spiracy arose against his son,
•Nadab, and he was ,slain. In fact,
every one of Jeroboam's descen-•
dents was put to death. Thus
judgment came upon the house
of Jeroboam according to the
prophecy of Ahijah.
Many, as Jeroboam, openly
a n d defiantly disregard God's
holy commandments. They may
even seen to prosper in their sin.
But a day of reckoning is conn=
ing. "Be not deceived; Gad is
not hocked: for whatsoever rs
man soweth, that shall he else
rep." Gal. 6:1

Where one uses chemical fer-
tilizer regularly one should also
work in humus or dig or plow
under green manure, humus is
simply well rotted vegetable ref-
use, such as leaves, weeds, grass
clippings or even clean garbage
mixed ' with fine soil. Every
good gardener has a pile of this
stuff hidden behind some shrub-
bery where the rotting process
goes on. That process can be
greatly hastened by,,some of the
commercial bacteria prepara-
tions now on the market and by
frequent turning and watering.
Green manure is the technical
name for crops of clover, fall
rye, buckwheat, oats and similar
things that are sown in vacant
places in the garden, allowed to
grow well and then dug or plow-
ed under lightly. This sort of
thing and humus adds fibre to
the soil, loosening clay and im-
proving sandy soils and making
them more open and friable and
therefore more able to retain
valuable moisture.
Watch for Bugs
With so many , easily applie4.
chemical mixtures on the market
there is little excuse for having
our flowers and vegetables dam-
" aged by bugs or disease. It is
no longer necessary to prepare
various concoctions. All that
one has to do is to go to the
nearest seed store, tell them our
troubles and get some handy
preparation ' which is simply
dusted or sprayed on. For every,
bug or disease there is a specific
cure or control. The main thing
is to start control measures just
as soon as sthe first injury ap-
pears Treatment is not expen-
sive.
One other point. A healthy,
clean and growing garden is the
best insurance against injury.
well cultivated plants are far
less susceptible totrouble than
neglected plots overrun with
weeds. Prompt clean-up meas-
ures, after harvest or blooming,
and in the spring and fall will
also help greatly. Many bugs
and disease live over in the
garden. Cleaning these up regu-
larly will help substantially in
keeping a garden healthy.
Keep Planting

mon vegetables one can and
should continue planting at two

Aboard Shp
Time on board strip is divided
into four-hour periods called
watches. Eight bells marks the
end of each watch and the be-
-ginning of the next, when the
man who was on: duty departs
and the next man comes to re-
lieve flim. Eight bells is struck
every four hours. The familiar

Ding -ding .rings out every four
hours: at 12 noon; at four p.m.;
at eight p.m.; at midnight; four
a.m. and 8 a.m. So, in a twenty-
four hour day, eight' bells rings
forth six times.
The ship's bell also marks the
passing of every half hour
throughout each watch. For ex-
ample, suppose we begin at noon.
Eight bells! A sailor has just
come on duty. Thirty minutes
later he hears the ship's bell
strike once -Ding! Ile knows
that half an hour has gone by
and that it is now' half past
twelve. Presently he hears the
ship's bell strike twice -Ding -
ding! Two bells. That means
another half hour has passed and
it is now one o'clock. Half an
hour later, Ding -ding, Ding!
Three bells. It's half past one.
Ding -ding, Ding -ding! That's
two o'clock. Five bells,_ it's two -
thirty. Six bells means three o'-
clock, and there remains only
one hour to go before this watch
is done. Half an hour goes by
-three thirty-seven bells. And
finally eight bells. It is now four-
o'clock and the relief takes over.
With each new watch the cycle
begins again, So presently, Ding!
It is half past four. Two bells
--it is five o'clock; and so forth
up to eight bells.
The time between four p.m.
and eight pan. is often divided
into two two-hour periods called
dog watches, from four o'clock
(eight bells) to six o'clock' (four
bells); and frena four bells to
eight bells '(eight o'clock).,

World Premiere
In Tor v rat
Exciting news for drama lovers
comes in the announcement that
the Crest Theatre will have the
honour of presenting the World
Premiere of Tyr on e Gu thrie''s
new play, "Haste to the Wed-
ding", beginning May 5. The
Guthrie play, which was com-
pleted for this company, is even
more light-hearted than the
average comedy. It is a real
"romp". Mr. Guthrie, who is the
director of Canada's Stratford
Festival, has written a number
of plays, many for radio and T.V.
Among the plays presented in
the theatre were "Top of the
Ladder" whichplayed the St.
James Theatre in London and
starred John Mills, and "The
Flowers are Not .for You to
Pick."
Mr. Guthrie was a director of
the Old Vic before the last war
and remained there to the time
of Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir
Ralph Richardson. He left to
concentrate on the Sadlers Weill:
Opera but returned for the 1951-
52 season as director, during
which time he directed "Carmen"
for the Metropolitan Opera Com-
pany. He then decided to free-
lance. He did -"Oedipus Rex""
which he will do at the Festival
here, for the Habima theatre in
Palestine and also far Finland's
National Theatre.
For this World Premiere, in
addition t0 members Of the regu-
lar company, Murray and Donald
Davis have signed Patrick Mae-
nee, whose `Lancaster' was such
a success in the opening presen-
tation, "Richard of Bordeaux",
Joy Lafleur, Charmion King and
Toby Robins.
