Importance of Male in Poultry Flock
The season is approaching when
the selection for next year's poultry
• breeding males -Vile be made. 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. Unchecked .cases
develop enteritis, pr infignarnation of
the intestines and deaths result.
• While all newly threshed grains do
not contain poisopens properties, it
is inapossible to' detect their presence

should be as dry as spossible when

ature flit seed stock is 33 to 38'
degrees F., but for table stock 38
to 42 degrees -,will give best results.
Lower 'temperatures tend to cause a
sweet flavor. Potatoes will.keep much
better if placed in slatted bins. A false

:Useful Hints on Storing Vegetables
Vegetables should be harvested as
late in the season as possible
winter use, and when digging the
roots care is necessary so as not
to damage ,them as the slighteet
bruise will- eause rot in storage, says
J. .Gallaher, Head Gardener, Domin-
ion Experimental Station, Rentville,
N. S. ,
•
Carrots, pennies. and •saliffY may
bo stored in boXes, placed in layers
with either dampsane moss, or saw -
.dust. If sawdust is use it should be
-from hardwood; as softwood sawduet,
may cause rot or fungus. ]n the. fall
a few parsnips may be buried about
one foot deep in a, corner of the
garden and• dug up again in the
spring, when, the quality ofthe
parsnips Will be found to be improv-
ed.

" Fishermen Had Successful Trip.
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-

Negotiations have been in process be-

dian lumbermen for the export of 2,-
400,000,000 feet of lumber in the two
years after, and this will involve a
transaction of nearly $140,000,000.
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 '
