both cause high mortality or stunted,

Hens Lay More When Comfortable
One of the -reason l f rr..'..the• phen-.
ominal increase in gg. production
during this winter ,isj'atrtxibuted by
the Dominion Department of Agricul-
ture to the moderate weather which
Chas perrnitted hens to becomfortable:
Hens housed' in: comfortable quarters'
are always the best .layers, and it has..
been pointed ` out that notwithstand-
"dug weather conditions, the same
comfort 'can be maintained any win-
ter •simply by proper housing.
A good paying house should .be
warm ..enough so that water will not
freeze in it, -. and to be warm, the
house must be well insulated. The
birds themselves erose es generate enough
heat to be comfortable hi' a well in-,
sulated house. The golden rule is
insulate, then ventilate.
• • t A wood block house is orie of the
most economical that can be built.
While cedar 'blocks are ,bast for the
purpose, any kind of properly air=
dried wood •block will . do. This in -
chides poplar on the Western prairies.
The logs should• be cut now and the
bark removed immediately so that the
wood,,; May be thoroughly,air-dried be="
.fore using. With cedar, the usual
length of block is 8 inches. In light-
er. woods, the block should be 10 or
12 inches long.

Meer `' 'spoilage spot age arises from,.,•toug�h
grain,. with. its. 'a0com-paniment of in-

Tough grain may result from unfav-
'Curable harvesting conditions. Leaks,
seepage, green weed seeds;"'dondensa-
tion and lack of ventilation may cause
dry 'sound grain to' become •tough in
a few „,months; Tough grain favours
the rapid growth and 'breeding of

The Right
to
Get. Ahead
IN THIS NEW WORLD a man has had the
right to speak and write and worship in his own way.
. He has enjoyed the right, trio, to work at- what
suited hini and to get ahead according to his talents.
A real man strives to make his own way in the world:
He takes the rough withy the. smooth.
He safeguards his own future by his own frugality
and thrift. .,
. ENERGY •ANA ENTERPRISE built Canada's prosperity.
Without these rugged qualities we should never
have gained the prestige we enjoyin the world today.
Now we are defending the'common man's right to
make the most of this heritage of freedom.
The man who is free to"pros p er is also free to pro-
tect himself and provide: independence for himself
and -bis family.
Foil GENERATIONS, in good times and bad, the
common man has relied on life insurance for pro-
tection.
ee,Life insurance has grown into a great co-operative
partnership of the whole .people.
Only through this partnership con a roan create an
immediate estate for himself out of •tfihat • he earns.
Mass enterprise and mass unselfishness of over four
million policyholders have provided every man and
woman with the means of securing at low cost the
certainty of a cushioned future.

I spent one day visiting Waterford,
a distance of'14 miles.' It is the capi-
tal of the county, and very well
known in history. The'''train was due
to leave at 2.30,. but as a decision to
go had not been made until this time,
it seemed that our chances of catch-
ingit were hopesless. I mentioned
this, only to be' told that the station
had been phoned and ':hey'promised
to hold it
i until arrived." . .e, arri d.
It was
true, too. Now 1 can understand why
trains' are ` late. With the, end of my
leave in sight, I left far Dublin after
Wholeheartedly pledging myself .lto
return if and when another leave was
;ranted.
Dublin is a large, .Modern city.,Tall
buildings, street''cars,. ,.buses, many
shows and, of course, historical show
places. It is a longi time since I
haveseen ee so many young men walk-
ing -around and every tenth one seem-
ed to be a 'priest. The"shops are
plentifully stocked, and I spent
great deal of time wandering and
constantly gazing'into.'butchers' win-
dows which- compared with England,
appeared to teem with good things
to eat at decent prices. In this city
they have the German and British
Embassies, but 1 missed: seeing both
of them.
This account of my leave would not
be complete without a mention of the
"national fuel." As .no coal is ship-
ped here, except " meagre 'quantities
for railroads, the people have to rely
on peat and turf for all cooking and
heating. , This is just-.decayed.vege-
table and plant life that hs dug #hen
required off the surface of the
ground. It has to -be given plenty of
opportunity of drying. andel tben to.,

Came time to • return to England. I
had `either my 29th or -'30th egg since
my 'leave commenced along 'with .my
last good helping of bacon before
leaving for the boat train. 1 bad, a
crowded ride to the pier . and then
again through. the Customs, who'on
this side are fairly •pleasant. On to
the boat at last and then came a
rough and angry sea. , I felt squeaTTn-
ish for a short time, but- soon re-.
gained -my -former healthy feeling and
before the end of the voyage was
actually enjoying the tossing we. were
taking. Many, however, -felt 'other-
wise. By noon we were in Holyhead,
and after a short delay ou^the train;
on the train and off to London where
we were greeted with one of the
largest raids of the,1•ast"silt months.
Well, it was nice to get out of 'uni-

Doing light housekeeping and cook-

imagination and ingenuity to contrive
exciting meals that can be'cooked on
one or two burners. Try' cooking
several vegetabins for interesting fla-

potatoes and 'turnips, or carrots. and
turnips. Make the bottom of the

Has Happy Memory Visit To Canada
In an article outlining Canadian•
Agriculture
in the January issue of
the Scottish Journal of Agriculture,
T. B. :Manson, B.Sc., of the British
Ministry of Agriculture, 'who visited
Canada, last, summer, concludes dais
article with ,the following tribute: ---
"It is difficult to „remain complete=
ly objective in such a survey, to for-
get the fascination' which the coun-
try bas had to.one • newcomer at
'least. To travel from the picturesque,
almost Scottish, New Brunswick,
through Quebec, that, industrious and
progressive province, into Ontaria,
with its ,.varied agricultural activities,
across the. flat, bald prairies of Mani-
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta un-
til the foothills of the Rockies are
reached, and then to ascend and des-
cend ' to the shores of the Pacific' at
Vancouver is an experience • which
leaves a desire . for 'repetition. For
the memory of it '.as peopled with fig-
ures, brave, Clean men and women
and lovely children. They are fight-
ing against conditions, much more
severe -than are experienced in Bri-
tain.' 'They fight on, ever attaining
a more perfect technique and are
greatly aided by .the "'frained agricul-
tural experience, of the'teehnical,,agri-
culturists, ,in;,Jpminion and Provincial
Service.' The volume of 'production
which has steadily flowed to • the
shores of Britain ih. 'a proof both of
the success of new methods and'' of
a friendship and comradeship worth'
every effort .to retain."
Need is Urgent' For, Dairy. Products
. Of. ail the food products urgently
needed, dairy products top the list;,.
.This'information comes from Dr. Bar-'
ton, Dominion Deputy Minister of
Agriculture and Chairman of the .Ag-
ricultural Food Board. Tbe• reason
for this, he says, is due' to the wide
range of demands for butter, cheese,
concentrated milk, fluid milk'and ''eth-
, et.' milk products as a 'r-estrlt of the
war. The difficulty of increasing
milk production under war conditions
naturally, aggravates the situation.
Red. Cross parcels to prisoners of
war sent from Canada • total 100,000
peer week. Dairy products in each
Parcel include: 1' lb. butter, •1 Ib.
dried milk and % lb. cheese.
A recent survey of 70 of the larg-
est cities and towns in 'C'anada dis-
closed thatrthe distribution of fluid
milk was approximately 20 per cent.
greater than a year earlier. In 1943
total milk production in Canada was
17,517 million pounds, a slight in-
crease over 1942. Creamery butter
output •in 1943 was 312,300,000 pounds
—an ,increase of nearly 10 per --cent•
over the previous year. Production
of daisy butter was 55,400,000 pounds',
22 million' pounds less than in 1942.
Tbe output of cheese last year was
down 61A her cent. compared with
the previous year. There •was alsb
less concentrated milk products made
in 1943 than ,fn 1942. -
