REGLUEING OPERATION
Although it is at, times a tiresome
chore, reglueing of broken furniture
is a comparatively easy process. All
dry gale should be scraped from the
parts; the parts sandpapered, and
then fresh glue applied and -the parts
rejoined.

An examination of road foundations

Will •result in less damage to roads
than one in which fretplent thaws
occur. Efforts to prevent frost dam-
age must be directed towards con-
trolling the emount and circulation
of water in the subgrade.
• This may be accomplished by rais-
ing road grades 'above ground water
levels and by drainage. But, capillary
water cannot be drained and. at times
it is necessary to excavate bad sub -

this type of work is indicated.
Although no bituminous stabiliza-
tion work has, as yet, been carried
out on Ontario roads, I am now con-
vinced that such a practice will be
economical on much of our roads. It
is accomplished by the incorporation
of about one gallon of fdtume per
square yard. of 6 -inch stabilized base
course. The material, cost of the
bitume is- about $1,000 per mile. A
sample of this, material placed with
its base in water shows practically
no absorption. A sample of untreat-
ed clay stabilized materialplaced
similarly' Is impregnated with water
in a, short time. The advantages of
Such a -base course are obvious. It
will retain its strength at the time
it is most needed and' will prevent
the infiltration, of subgrade soils..
In conbluaion, I wish to express my
appreciation of the co-operatioa given
by all members of the camel'.
It might be noted that at the rates
allowed for subsidy on -rental machin-
ery the amount would be less than
the repair cost on the machines by
$259.44, and it is.. evident that the

justment can be arranged. ' •
The 1944 program of work is as yet
Uncertain and will depend upon. avail-

situation as regards materials • has
been improving for some time, : but
many Commodities are still on the

Changes Made in: 'Ho Marketing
Hinta hales ,Gardiner has an-
nounced that following discussions'
concerning the•Oia4ceting of hogs be-
tween the Dagen; Atiiiittory -Committee,
the Advisory OoMnaittee on Agricul-
ture, the Meat goArd•and the Agricul-
tural Food, Board it has-bten decid-
ed -to make a number of, changes in,
th,t, system of hog' Marketing.
The producer under which a basic
Price was establishett for B1 hog ear -
Gasses and priCes• for other grades
determined by applylag discounts ex-
cept in the case of -Grade A carcasses
for which a premium was paid by
the, packers, willalsesdiscontinued and
hogs- atilt be purchased atm the basis
of their carcass values in the various
grades. Governtnent premiums, as
already announced, will be, paid in
the case. of Grade A carcasses at $3
per carcass, and in the case of Grade
B-1, at $2.00 per carcass. The prem-
ium of $1.00 formerly paid by the
Packers on Grade A carcasses will
be paid on the carcass grade value
for export 'beam.
The number of grades has been re-
duced by consolidating some of them.
The grades now adopted are Grade
A, Grades Bl, B2 and B3, all B Grades
to sell at the same market price.
There will be one- C- Grade and one
D Grade. E Grade has been elimin-
ated as it represents a comparatively
small number of hogs, including those,
condemned; stags, ridglings and in-
jured. These Will be ,designated ac-
cordingly. Heavy hogs will include
those that dress carcasses weighing
from 186 to 195 pounds and' Extra
Heavies will be classed on the basis
of carcasses weighing over 196 lbs.

whole grain cereals with their nut-
like flavour give a new taste treat
and added food values.

LOOKING over the, Canadian poultry situation, we sometimes, wOuder
whether White Leghorns are "getting the break" they deserve. They're
thrifty, they live well, and they'eertainAy shell out the eggs. Since they!rs
smaller and naturally more active than most heavier breeds, you eau put -
more Leghorns into a given space than the bigger birds. Some of our big-
gest markets give a preference to white eggs . . some even pay premiums, _. -
for them. And we know poultry•suttorities who claim that you can raise
Leghorns cheaper and get more eggs .,for -your feed. •
YES -L- WE HAVE 'EM
From all this you may gather that' we
have White Leghorn chicks sell.
That's right — we have! 'Mind you,
