,S., the months of August and Sep-
tember are most suitable for the
flock.
After the disposal of the surplus
stock all the litter and house equip-
ment is- removed, This allows for
the thorough scraping and scrubbing
of the interior' with a' stiff brush and
a proper•cleaning solution. After t
interior is. cleaned and drying out,
'tit oilier equipment is disinfected
and when clean and dry is put in
place again. The use of a hose with
a good- force of water is 'practical for
cleaning.
Lye is about the best cleaning ma-
terial. Use one pound (a can) to 10
gallons of cold water. Should a
stronger solution . be needed, one
pound to five gallons can be used.
This solution should be used care-
fully as it is caustic and can readily
cause burns. Another cleaningsolu-
tion is any good coal -tar disinfect-
-ant-'a;lid-^-owater:-•-Use three ounces to
twelve quarts of water or follow di-
rections on the container. This
makes a milk white colored 'solution.
After all the cleaned ho'rse and
egeipment has become thoroughly
dried, the house is now ready to
house the birds. Use clean litter;

"The car's all right," said the driv-
er. "It's me. I've got the ,hiccoughs."

Noonday Gun
The 'Canadian who probably startles
more highly -placed people than any
other is William 'Davis, a thick -set,
bespectacled Ottawan , of about 55
years. Davis is no practical joker:
He is the man who carries out the
ancient ceremony of firing a cannon
behind, the ,Parliament Buildings each
day at noon. -
When the wind is with. the cannon's
roar, a visiting 'dignitary. may grip
the arms of his chair tightly before
receiving the assurance- of his host
that the firing is non-offensive. But
to natives of Ottawa the sound is a
friendly one: It lets the civil servant
know that hehas only a abort, time
to work before the noon break. And
it reminds the housewife that she'd
better be putting on the kettle for
lunch.
The- cannon • is so much a part of
"life in, the Capital—it has been firing
daily Since Confederation—that it has

ap-PCSXphul. He sets his watch 'by=
the official timepiece at the Domir tort.
Observatory.' Then he checks it again
by .the radio time eigual.
Another story told about the gun,
is factual, however. This` coae:erne
the cripple who Dame past oft eruteh-
es one day just as Bob Greenfield, one
or Davies' predecessors, was about to
fire.
Greenfield noticed the man and
waved to .warn him so that he would
-not 'be surprised by -the flash and
sound of the gun.,The warning was
misinterpreted, for the man waved
bacl in friendly fashion, Then the
gun roared out. b
"The lame fellow threw up his
crutches and, lit out along• the path
at a great clip," related Davis, whose
father had the story from Greenfield.
"Somehow the fright cured his lame-
ness. He didn't even bother to come
back for his crutches."
Davis is the fourth man toy fire the
gun. He has been at the job off and
on for the past 12 years, and stead-
ily for the past two. Edward Snow
sdon, who retired two years ago, car-
ried out the duty for 40 years before
Davis took over; Greenfield and one
ocher man preceded Snowdon.
Exactly when the gun started its
career is a matter of dispute. One
story has it that it first was used as
E. noon signal at an army camp in the
days when Ottawa was called Bytown.
Another tale declares that the gun
initially was fired 'to herald the ar-
rival and departure of the mails.
/ At any rate it has been firing con-
tinuously in its present capacity since
Coi'federatiou in 1867. Originally it.
was located on the site which now is
known as Parliament Hill, but it was
rioved from there.when the Parlia-
ment Buildings were constructed. To-
day it' stands on a height of, land in
Major Hill Park, about 300 yards be
hind the House of Commons:
The cannon, a five -ton muzzleload-
er. dates back 'to the days of King,
George III. The markings indicate
that it was' made in Woolwich Arsen-
al in 1807. It saw service in the
Crimean War and came to Canada as
a gift of the British Army.
However, there is little doubt that
its peacetime Service far surpasses
that which it had in war. One esti-
mate places the number of times it
has been fired in Ottawa at more
than 27,000. -
In an ordinary year—as distinguish-
ed' from a leap year—the cannon is
fired 367 times. The extra two occa-
sions fall on November 11; Remem-
brance.Day, when it aCts as a signal
for the two minutes silence at eleven
o'clock. The gun varies its routine on

"Takes me five seconds -to make

Once Davis had a run of bad detona:
tors and the gun didn't, fire for t
days in succession. This was Sega
ed as a major,- calamity by some
the people who time their aetivitf
by the •�aignal, and Davis had a lot
explaining to do.
"I just told them the gun had go

There was general suspicion of t
