Many times the failure of securing
a satlafatnory winter egg yield is
due to neglect of the pullets early la
the fall. The ordinary pullets begin

of age, and many farmers get a few

I'Iure In Winter Quarters Early.
'1'o ge: the best results the pullets
should be placed in winter quarters
ut November 1st. Before that time
the henhouse should be thoroughly
cleaned, the walls. ceiling, etc.,
brushed down, and all old' cobwebs,
etc.., removed. Thee give the house
a good whitewashing, and if the floor
is earth or sand at least four inches
of It should be renewed.
Separate Pullets From Young Hens.
If at all possible, separate the pul-
lets from the old hens and cockerels.
Iu order to lay well, they y should be
fed all they will cat, particularly of
ground grains tot\ green foods, and
ahouid not be overcrowded. About
twenty-five to thirty-five pullets le
plenty fur a pen twelve feet square;
in fact in many cases twenty-five pul-
lets in the pen will lay almost as'
many eggs as the thirty-five. Should
you be fortunate in having too many
pulleds, or where you can make a se-
lection, get the earliest and beet
matured ones Into the pen first. If
you have to crowd or sell some, get
rid of the small, weak ones and those
that are slow to develop.
Have the Pen Well Lighted and
Ventilated.
The pen should be light and well
ventilated. Have all the ventilators
or openings on one side of the
house and close together. Do not
have an opening in one end of the
house and another in the other end.
These cause drafts which are very
apt to produce colds and sickness. It
usually takes a pullet at least three
weeks to get over a cold, and she
seldom lays while she has a cold.
Keep the house dry, and use plenty
of dry straw In which the birds can
scratch for the teed.

Hul3>BIANnH `liOld DISOHi)DIANCyE
• AND TALKING TOO ,MUCH
A divorce in Japan is salted !`the
three -line letter," She explanation of
the quaint 'term being thee divorce
was formerly a matter for the plea-
sure of the husband, who when he
wished to get rid of a wife dismissed
her with a certificate written in three
dines and a half.
The line simplicity of the proceed-
ing is revealed in translations of a
number of old certificates which
have ,been made by Dr. Shigeto
Hozutni, a legal autho4•ity. One
reads:
Certificate of Divorce.
I hereby certify for •purposes of
future reference that your daughter
to whom I got .married should be di-
vorced, as I do net agree with her,
and henceforth she is free to marry
any person.
Iwase Tamasaburo.
Still more plain is the reason an-
nexed to the following:
Certificate of Divorce.
1 hereby annuunce that the wo-
man called O -Pone is divorced se -
fording to my own convenience, and
she is free to anarry any person.
Kamekichi.
Even when rhe husband was a
"scallywag," and admitted it, the
procedure still forwarded the same
lofty nsasculine line, as witness a
certificate in which the husband
pleads .guilty in the document in
which he effects the divorce:
Certificate of Divorce.
Because of the inexcusable misbe-
havior that 1 committed recently, to
the great annoyance of our relatives,
I hereby announce that you are di-
vorced, and 1 shall raise no objection
whatever against t Your marriage with
whomsoever you desire.
It was clearly a case in which in
an b:nglish-speaking country there
would have been a decree against the
errant husband; but the eastern
conception of the wife's place in the
family still left the matter wholly
to the decision of her lord and mas-
ter.
There are in Japan seven grounds
of divorce, according to the old code,
including disobedience, jealousy, talk-
ing too much, and thievishness. There
were, on the other hand, three cases
ir. which he could not divorce her:
If the .wife had strictly observed the
mourning for her parents-in-law; if
he had 'become richer than when they
were maarried; and if the wife had
no home to return to.
These rules, it should be said, date
from the old days—that is before
1593—but, with the great majority of
Japanese, divorce still remains very
much a natter of the husband's
sovereign will and pleasure. If a
marriage is registered it can only be
dissolved on legal grounds, but as
many people keep to the old customs,
and omit the new fangled formality
of registration after the ceremony,
there are still a large number of
marriages which can be ended by a
three -'line letter."
Do not imagine, however, says a
writer in the London Daily Mali, that
the Japanese wife is a downtrodden
creature. Social traditions ,have
limited the sphere within which she
.may exercise her activities, but she
still lives a happy and useful life,
and one sees far fewer specimens of
unhappy womanhood in the cities of
Japan than in the cast ends of the
west.
Give Laying'Hens Plenty of Food.
Remember a laying hen needs
plenty of fdbd, grit, and shell ma-
terial. Also there should be a var-
iety to the Nod; that is green food
such as clover leaves, cabbage,
or sprouted oats, or if none of these
can be had some roots. She also
needs some form of meat food—sour
milk is the best, nut beef scrap, or
other meat offal, 1f untainted, will
answer. Usually about one-third of
the grain should be ground or even
up to one-half. The whole grain
makes exercise In hunting for it in
the straw. Always remember the pen
should be clean, dry, and sweet.—
R. W. Graham, 0. A. College, Guelph.
Winter Care of Pregnant Mares.
The pregnant mare should be well
fed and given regular exercise or
light work. All food and water given
should be of first-class quality. She
should be given more grain than the
non -pregnant mare, as she. has the
foetus to support. All possible care
should be observed to avoid digestive
derangements; hence, everything
consumed should be of good quality,
easily digested, fed in proportion to
the amount of work performed and
at regular intervals. In addition to
hay and oats she should be given a
few raw roots daily, and a feed of
bran with a cupful of linseed meal
at least twice weekly.
Work that requires excessive mus-
cular or respiratory effort should be
avoided, so also should plunging
through deep snow, slipping, etc. All
nervous excitement should be avoid-
ed; so also should sights which
frighten her; also offensive odors;
and operations.
The use of drugs should not be
tolerated, except•upon the advice of
a veterinarian. If necessary to give
a Purgative, It is much safer to give
raw linseed oil than aloes. Towards
the end of pregnancy, still greater
care should be observed; and,
while daily exercise up to the very
last Is advisable, it should be given
more carefully and leas of it when
she becomes somewhat clumsy on
account of size and weight.
While it is better to allow her a
box stall when in the stable at all
eines:et is practically necessary af-
ter about the tenth month of gesta-
tion; as the period .of gestation is
irregular and the foal may be born,
without any well -marked premoni-
tory symptoms, any time after ten
months.
After the foal is born the mare
should be given at least two weeks'
idleness, and if she can be allowed
to run idle until weaning time, it will
be all the better for both herself and
the foal.—J. H. Reed, V.S., O. A.
College, Guelph.
The manufa'cturer's success is due
largely to his ability to buy raw ma-
terial at the lowest prices, to sell the
finished products through an efficient
dis;rtbutfbn system, and to take ad-
vantage of more economic methods
of production. He builds up a sys-
tem to etitninate waste, Inefflcleh4y,

On the afternoon of die second day
'the keeper takes a three -cornered
steel scraper on a stick and goes aver
every heli of her hide, something on
the same (principle as you scrape
potatoes, climbing' on her back' sib -
ting on her head, crawling, bent -
backed, bebween her legs. Thus dee
parts the outer (rout7'hness from the

All the time Cap 'keeps up her

strokes as a mighty pendulum. Twice
her keeper, sitting on her head, has
to descend with a feeling of nausea
that is akin to seasickness.
The third day is another of soft
soap, Scot water and the scrubbing
brush. The fourth is devoted to a
second scraping, more intimate than
the first, a minute digging into every
crack, crevice and 'wrinkle on the
huge body, a complete scnatdhing to
remove the calloused cobbles.that clog
her skin. And so Cap by this time
sports a regular fall creation of a
skin done in beautiful blue gray.
The job is (tedious and tiresome.
Cap standsit patiently on the whole.
It is to her merely a pleasant itchi-
ness on her armor -plate body. Ex-
cept when her keeper touches a ten-
der spot, behind the eyes Par

Ps—
then she swings with her .trunk and
bunts him in warning. Once or
twice in the past she has smashed
her chains in irritation, but she is
wiser now, and knows the grand and
gkniious feeling that is going to fol-
low her bath.
On the fifth day Cap is massaged
with from three to five gallons of
neatsfoot oil. The skin suoka it in
hungrily; the blue -gray tinge disap-
pears and in its place comes the
s.ppearance of black rubber.
Manicuring on the sixth day com-
pletes the clean-up. This is a tick-
lish affair of a snail saw ,and hand
chisel, requiring judgment, for Cap
is tender between the toes, and is
liable to lift her great clump of a
foot in peeved protest if she imagines
one is getting too familiar with her
toes. Blocks of nail come away,
cubic inches of it at a time.
Why this elaborate bath thrice
yearly? In her native state Cap
would occasionally wallow in mud and
would then scratch herself against
the .trunks of trees, scraping her skin
and keeping the callouses curbed. In
her city quarters at the zoo, anan has
to take the place of the mud and the
tree trunks. Hence Jack May be-
comes for the nonce a lady's maid to
Cap.
Cap is an Indian cow elephant. She
is the biggest citizen in Canada,
some ten feet high and still growing,
and weighing upwards of three tons.
If she does not stop growing soon
she will be .taking up two floors of
the elephant house instead of one.
Already the original level of her stall
has had to be sunk two feat so that
she will not he cramped, and still
she can reach with her trunk up to
the loft above where the hay is kept.
lit is calculated that Carp is now
some fifty-five years old. She has,
therefore, not yet quite reached ma-
turity and may still gran for a year
or so. Her size for a female Indian
elephant is unusual, the males only
attaining such dimensions, the fe-
males stopping at about eight feet.

000. At that time it was the largest
in the world, having a skating sur-
feee of eb by 210 fret, and a seating
cropacity of 101600. It was the first
artificial ice rink in Canada, and very
much of an experiment in a city where
hockey might or might not prove a
popular sport. There were many
who predicted that the Patricks would
be back in the timber business—in a
very small way—within a couple of
years, but the pessimists were wrong,
in so far as Vancouver was concerned.
But there is no gainsaying that it
was a risky exJ” riment. The arti-
ficial rink Was a beg success in Van-
couver, ,but it faded in New West-
minster, it failed in Spokane, it failed
in Portland, and it has had a hard
time in Seattleend +u Victoria.These
two last cities, hocever, simply must
stay in the busiu,•,s, or there could

—and it's the h„rkey games that
!bring in the money.
Neither Frank r,ur Lester Patrick
shine upon the kr these days. They
superintend the lee office. In their
prime they were always among the
seven best hockey players in Canada,
and they are still unexcelled in the
generalship of the game. But they
only skate for exercise, or to show
the younger ;players some of the old
tricks. z
Frank, who is the agressive busi-
ness head of the Patrick trinity, de-
votes practically all his time to rink
and hocGkey interests. Brother Lest-
er, wig lives in Victoria, where he
must needs have something to occupy
himself, has devoted much time to
civic problems, and is now President
of the Rotary Club. Joseph, at this
.moment, is one of Victoria's hardest
working aldermen. He has been •an
alderman, off and un, for several
years, losing a term on the council
every once in a while by being de-
feated in the mayorality race. He
will probably try for the chief mag-
istrate's chair again next year, and
if he fails again he will try again,
for those Patricks are a persistent
lot.
Victorians are. quite convinced they
will have a Patrick for Mayor one of
these days. They say that if fihe
"old man” can't make the grade, then
it is very plainly up to Lester to step
in and do the honors for the family.
Lester would skate in with a rush.
THE PATRICKS CANADA'S
BIGGEST HOCKEY TEAM
One might suppose that the fore-
bears of the famous Patrick family
carne from Ireland. Well, so they
did, but it is so long ago dlhat neither
Joseph, Frank nor Lester take more
than an academic interest in self-
determination or other problems that
worry Lloyd George and De Valera.
The Patrioks are known by reputa-
tion to everybody in Canada who
takes any interest in sport. Patrick
is the famous father of the two fam-
ous sons, and grandfather of Frank's
prize-winning babies. There is . no
record that the present .head of the
Patrick clan ever excelled at hockey
or other winter sports, but his name
has been well.known for nearly half
a century to those engaged in the
timber and lumber .business.
Born in Quebec, Joseph Patrick en-
gaged in the logging and timber trade
from his youth, and was one of Can-
ada's big lumbermen until a decade
or so ago. At first his interests were
centered in his home province, but as
his business grew his operations ex-
tended until they reached to the in-
terior of British Columbia.
In 1906, having acquired immense
timber limits in the Nelson district,
he brought his family to live in the
Kootenays, where the father and sons.

She used to have a playful habit of
trying to crowd him into the corner
of her stall and crush hiM; she has
lost the habit of late.
In her twenty odd years' residence
in Riverdale, Cap has only been sick
once, and that was when a gardener
who had been cutting weeds in the
park, threw them into her paddock,
thinking he was giving her a treat.
She ate them with delight, 'but like
a youngster after overindulgence in
green apples, she got colic, several
cubic yards of it. So she stood for
three days in her stall, a mountain
of misery, dejected and dyspeptic,
refusing to eat, refusing to move.
However, she was given a shovelful
or two of epsom salts and a bucket-
ful or two of castor oil and compelled
to take a Hetet constlitutional up and
down. So die was soon all right,
and has not had a day's sickness
since,
Yet she has eaten many things that
should have given even an elephant
indigestion. One night she broke the
chain that keeps her in the stall and
was found wandering loose in the
animal 'house. Fifteen feet of rub-
ber hose were ever afterwards mis-
sing! One day, one of her zoo at-
tendants hung a waterproof coat on
a nail outtside her stall. Cap reached
round her trunk, gently unhooked it,
pulled it round and pushed it into +her
mouth. In ,a minute or two the mac-
intosh was in her inside. A Bible
n'hioh dropped in front of her once
was whipped up and "inwardly di-
gested" right away. A 'lady's straw
hat and several otlher tasty Welt -
knacks have similarly- disappeared.
Yet Cap will pick over her hay with
the nicest discrimination, sorting out
stuff she does not/ like in a dainty,
finicky sort of way with her trunk
and pushinlit to one side.
Cap has only ;three horrors—a
thunderstorea, a maid dog and a
noise, and the greatest of these three
is probably the noise. If •onehap-
pens to stroll into her stall she will
stand . with her trunk up and her
tail between her legs, an abject figure
of fright, ail huddled up like a •girl on
a tslble with her skirts tucked up.
On the two- or three occasions when
she has broken loose at night—once,
in anger she pulled asunder the wa-
ter fixtures -the presence of a mouse
was the only explanation for her be-
hav'ior.
A thunderstorm always upsets her,
making her nervous and frightened.
She is rarely left out in one. If
she is in the paddock when one looms
up she is always brought into her
house before it /breaks. Otherwise
she will race round the paddock
trumpeting excitedly in clear blasts
dike a bugle. A small dog is almost
as great a source of annoyance to
titer as a mouse. Occasionally one
steals into her paddock. He streaks
out again when she charges. Once
she was down on the 'Don flats graz-
ing when a small dug ran between
her legs. She broke in terror and
never stopped until she got to the
house. It took her keepers three
hours making her go down again.
'She had to be taken, literally by
inches, with ropes and stakes. So
her fear of the place was overcome.
Otherwise she would never have gone
back.
Cap has lobs of wisdom stored a-
way somewhere (behind those little
eyes of hers. She knows the time of
"day, when she should be brought in
and when she should be fed. She
knows the footsteps of the different
+people round the place and is apt
to play pranks on them. There was
one park podicennan against :wham she
took a dislike. And every time she
heard him coming, she gathered a
bundle of hay in her trunk, held it
ready and discharged it all over him
as be passed.
Cap is quite happy. She has com-
fortable quarters and lots to eat.

comes to the paddock gate at 4.30.
