This is a high point in the poultry breed- er's art. . Year after year it has been demonstrated that a strong vigoroup, • mate from high producing stock has had a marked effect on the type and producing' ability of the progeny. In the question of the selection- of males poultry authcaties point out that the poultryman should know his flock; that selection and observation should• start with the parent stock, and con- • tinue all through the stages of. growth. Even in approved' flocks,. It is not sufficient to leave all the ef- fort of selection until the inspector arrives. , - The niale is half the flock. From the very „first, some cockerels are 4 anore preceicieus. .taster growing, (quicker at feathering, have mere body conformation, and are more alert • than others. The desirable cockerels should be identified by"the poultry - Man. When the final selection of :breed- . ing males is made, the following points should be noted: (1) Mailer- , ent vigor and masculinity, with free - done fromcoatseaess ineakin: comb, wattles, and bone; • (2) a clean-cut bright head; (3) a' large, bright, full, prominent eye, bay, or red in color; :(4) a weighty, well-proportioned bird with full-rOunded, well-meated breast, rwide across the shoulders and fairly long -straight keel', (5), strong straight 'legs set well apart;. (6) "well -condi- tioned plumage, bright. legs ,and skin color; (7) size, shape and color" type .cal'.•of the breed; and (8) free from standard disqualifications and defects. Should Not Feed New Grain Quickly . It is not wise to change quickly • ' old grain to -naw for •feeding .deitaiii,`'ilioliea'iiot all; new- IY threshed grains contain a toxic 'material and will cause serious trou-. Vole. Affected birds, show symptoms of bowel disturbance; their heads turn dark in color; .breathing, quickens and, the temperature rises, A mild physic •of four to six ounces of Epsom Salts pet 100 birds, fed in a' wet mash,' will ;usually give relief.

It has often been said that the size of the fish, caught depend on on the length of the fishermen's arms. This 'is not the case,' however, with a trio that left here early Saturday morn- ing for a day's outing off Lions Head. The party-wa.s .composed of Mr. Bill Harris, of Sarnia, Mr. Norman 'kin- toul and, 'Mr. Ewart McPhersoni • of tov,1n. 'On arrival at the Head they immediately went to sea and during the' day, were rewarded' with a catch of five lake trout. The prize of the expedition was the third catch which took the bait. It wae.a'9-pound beau- ty and it took the combined efforts of the three. of thein a quarter of an. hour ,,battle to land it. When these five,fine fish were exhibited on arrival home there was no argument but that it had been a Very • successful trip, but doubts still exitas to the large one that got away..— Wingham Ad- vance-Timee, • Found Fatally Injured • - On 1VIOnday afternoon, about 2.45 o'clock, James- T.,Greeftway,.fer many. ,years. a resident on the Mill Road and latterly of East Street, was 'found ,fatally injured by gunshot wounds in the gstable of the Mustard Coal Com- pany, by whom he was employed as a driver.

He is known to have delivered a load of (coal on Hamilton Street, an'd to have consulted his law- yer.

Potatoes , when. dug should -be , left for a, short time on the ground so as to allow the outer skin to dry. This is not necessary for turnips.•_ • • The, late; ,varieties of cabbage such as the Late Danish Ballhead are better for storing, as the , earlier varieties do not keep well. 'A: few planta .may be pullet with roots intact. All leaves except a few close to the head should be removed and the plant suspended from the roots frt= the ceiling, di the storage room; or the heeds may be cut just below the base. Loose leaves should be taken .off and the heads placed on a slatted shelf, head down in two or three layers. As the outer leaves decay they should be eemoved. Heads will keep well in sd'me cellars if rolled in several sheets of paper. • Onions should be pulled and' left in the garden for a week or ten days ,before storing., The tops and roots should then 'be removed and pia* in slatted boxes or spreadenuti on the floor in -a .,dry warm. place for a few weeks, then placed in the coolest part of the cellars Celery, like parsnips, • should be harvested at the end of the season. Choose a dry day and lift the plants With most of the soil. on the roots. All decayed -outer leaves and any sackers appearing around the base of the plant should be removed. Place them in boxes„ covering the roots With soil, or, if space will allow- put them as close as possible on the floor •in a bed -of about four, plants to a row. ,Cover the roots and keep them Well watered, but be careful not to let the water on the leatree' or into the heart.

Canada is expected to beCome the chief source of lumber for British re- construction in the immediate post- war years, because of the heavy de- mands on all the Baltic countries ex- cept Sweden for their own domestic reconstruction. Britain's demands for lumber can be gauged by the re- port that the robot bombs damaged ' or destroyed a million homes-er buildings in their own little * *. * • .There' t still worry 'about the coal situation in this country and the Munitions Department advises house- holders, especially in certain regions, to place orders at once -for delivery when the dealer can deliver.
