"It is alleged that there is a lawyer it Toronto who is a year older and still doing business at_,!his office. This may be so, but we will wager Qat Mr.-Walkem is the `more .active° of the two. At eighty-five he plays' '.golf and is a brat class billiard play- er. ""Sir wil;liam Mul'oek, chief justice Of Ontario,is a. year younger than s r. W aikem and is still en duty at Osgoode 1 -fall, but we will back our veteran king's counsel against Sir William on the golf links and at the billiard table. If the golf stick and the billiard cue are not suffiient to establish the supremacy of Kingston's grand old roan against all octogenare 4ans in the legal profession of Can- ada, we will back him on ,other grounds and still win out. Be it known that Joseph B. Walkem is not only an Ontario Bencher, a golfer and a billiard player at four score and 'four plus, but he is also a good bari- tone singer, a composer of music and a player of both the piano and the -violin. Now will Toronto. hold its peace or does it want a showdown? If it still wants to `be shown,' we -would suggest goad old Sir Allan Aylesworth as arbitrator." BETTER BUSINESS Improved business conditions have created a strong demand' for well edu- cated and properly trained young men and women for commercial activities. "The Shaw Schools of Toronto are aneeting that demand by giving im- proved courses for Secretarial, Sten- ographic and Accountancy work, and by encouraging all who possibly can to reach matriculation standing be- fore entering any one of their eleven well conducted institutions. FARM FLOCK MANAGEMENT FOR HATCHING EGGS There are a few things that are within one's method of handling a flock, that may be done which, with us, increases the hatching power of the fertile eggs. In order for hens to lay well, they generally have to have some animal protein, that is, insects, worms, meat, beef scrap, tankage or milk. Gener- ally speaking, one feeds about one ounce of meat to each bird daily or about 15 per cent. of beef scrap or animal meat in a dry or wet mash, or both. One hundred hens should drink a pail of skim milk or butter- milk daily if they are going to lay 50 per cent. or better. Our experiments shpw that of the above feeds that are available dur- ing the winter, milk in some form stands in a class by itself, as a feed to produce eggs for hatching. We find that the addition of about one-half tea cup of cod Fiver oil to the mash daily for one hundred hens also increases the hatching power of the eggs. With us, it is much bet- ter with milk than with the other feeds. The feeding of clover meal, or the .clover le°ives that fall where the hay is thrown down for the other live stock, appears to help produce a bet- ter egg to hatch. Then, perhaps the best and cheap- est factor to help the hatch is direct sunlight; that is, where the hen sits or stands or scratches in the sun- light, not behind glass, but in the di- rect nays. You may have several easy methods of getting this hen out of doors in the sunlight. If she ex- ercises in the straw, etc., in the barn- yard and in the sunlight, it may help your hatch of chicks as much as 15 or 20 per cent. We are not so particular what grains or what mash you feed, as these do not appear to make as much difference in hatching eggs as do the feeds mentioned above. Our rations are as follows: Scratch Grains: 1/2 Cracked Corn 1,e Wheat Mash: 700 lbs. Corn Chop 500 tbs. Shorts 340 lbs. Oat Chop 150 tbs. Alfalfa Meal 7 tbs. Fine Table Salt 3 gallons of Cod Liver Oil The birds eat about 6 pounds of scratch grain to 4 pounds of mash. The grain is fed in straw night and anorn.ing. The dry mash is in hoppers or boxes before the birds at all times and the oil in most cases is mixed in a moist mash and given at noon. Each hundred hens drink about a pail- ful of bnttermllk daily. • too.- .s t etic- s fret to p ovve 11444." etabme ,gem a pe . a�o oat t4 ,e G either esthetically or 9,,u ,ea'l tho, poinded xarioty �d it ;<s, M, that the, . great jewel of the .

The diamnond has so far baffled science and the artificial sapphire is not con- sidered so good an imitation of the natural stone as is the man-madel, ruby. A chemical ,problem the scientist', is interested in the synthetic stone. With its commercial -vane he is note primarily concerned. The dream . of producing precious stones by hand— or what closely resembles precious stones—is net a new one, but not un- til the development of modern scien- tific processes reached a high point did- realization seem possible. Chem- ists working in their laboratories at last found by analysis what they be- lieved were the exact materials with which nature worked. The difficulty lay in putting the ma- terials together—"in achieving syn- thesis." Scientific papers have now divulged the chesnical operations of the synrthetiizing process. The word synthetic is not used by jewelers sell- ing these stones—not, it is said, be- cause they feel a wrong significance would be applied. They hold that synthetic stones are true stones—that they are neither `limitations" nor "re- constructions." Some assert 'that synthetic stoners stand the test of real gems. This is a disputed point. The first ruby crystals produced. were too fragile to be used by jewel - ors. It is said that it was an acci- dent in one of the experiments (a ettle air was allowed to circulate in `he crucible) that eventually produc- ed the first clear and brilliant rubies. These ware found to be solid enough to cut. Up to a quarter century ago -ubiee were the only scientific stones experimented with with any degree of success. In 1908 a French chemist produced a manufactured sapphire. Since that time many similar stones have been scientifically made and used not only in fine hearings of machinery but al- so in jewelry. Scientists have tried by many pro- cesses to manufacture the diamond. Some years- ago a German explosives firm announced that it had rights to a patent for the manufacture of these gems. However, later reports from this source said the Germans had found the artificial stones were not equal to the natural product and had canceled the contract with the paten- tee. Technically, diamonds have been a stumbling block to the scientist ow- ing to the difficulty of getting carbon into the liquid state from which dia- monds can crystalize. This most precious of stones still defies science. EIGHTY PER CENT. OF WORLD'S PRODUCTION OF RUBBER IS NOW USED FOR TIRES "Automobile tires consume fully 80 per cent. of the world's annual pro- duction of crude rubber. The motor car, therefore, is the determining fac- tor in rubber growing and in rubber prices," says a report received by the Motor League from Everett G. Holt, chief of the rubber division, 1.1. S. de- partment of commerce. "Several de- velopments of recent years have had far-reaching effects on the consump- tion of rubber in tires. The change from fabric to cord tires, of course, contributed very much to increased tire life. The change is now in its final stage, and the fabric tire will no doubt soon be a relic of the past. Then came the switch from high pres- sure cords to balloons. It was at first believed that this change would give greater riding comfort, at increased expense. Experience, however, has not borne out this expectation. The trade now holds the balloon tire as high—or higher—in point of mileage service than the high pressure cord, provided that inflation pressures are maintained sat recommended levels. "In times of high prices economy has doubtless influenced many motor- ists to use worn tires, which, in times of ]ow prices, they would probably have discarded rather than risk a `blow-out,' Improvements in technical processes of rubber compounding and tire manufacturing, exclusive of changes in types of tires, have been continuous. But automobile tires con- tain a constantly varying proportion of new crude rubber, depending upon the use of substitutes and new manu- facturing processes as well as of the reclamation of used rubber. The ex- tent to which the owners of motor cars exercise care hi the use of tiles also has an important influence on the consumption—and price—of rubber. Road improvements, too, have natur- ally borne a share in increasing tire life, while changes and improvements in automobile construction have un- doubtedly had some influence.
