GOLD FOR SALE
I was reading the mond' paper
when Katie Scott came in, carrying
her little basket, and said the words
-which set me thinking hard and for
a long time.
The front page was definitely not
filled with sunshine .that morning.
In South Africa, violence provoked
by a man, who believes that a
'white skin makes a better man, had
broken otic. Blood was Sowing, hat-
red was everywhere' in the air. A

(back the proud march of civiliza-
tion many years was in the 'mak-

And Katie came in with her lit-

"Do you want to buy some gold?"
she asked.
Now that seemed like a very good
business proposition if the price
were right, so I said, "Yes, indeed.
I'm fresh out of gold this morn-
ing." (And that, let me tell you,
was no joke).
We went through the transaction
and I received a few bits of tinfoil.
"Thank you," said Katie. "That's

I can tell you _that those words
set me to pondering.
Of course, it was easy enough to

by Mrs. Charles Boyd,. follows:
Dear Peggy and Bill, Pat and
Sandy: It' was with regret we
learned you • were leaving our com-
munity, but we are heartened to
know you are not too fax distant
in your new home. It seems such
a short time since you' came from
far-off shores to start a new phase
of. your life in our midst. We, who
have lived most of our lives in this
district, can not know the feeling
of loneliness, nor a new land's dif-
ficulties, which you have so cheer-
fully mastered. Peggy, 'your Scotch
burr and ready wit, which com-
manded many a smile, will surely
be missed around here.
They say, "A change is as good
as a rest," so now we hope that
after this interlude of farming, you,
Bill, are fully rested and ready to
resume your butchering trade. We
trust the friendships you formed
here will 'aver be forgotten and
no matter where you may go, we,
hope you will remember with kind
thoughts your friends and neigh-
bors of this farming community.
An invitation is' extended to you
th return to our gatherings when-
ever the opportunity presents it-
self We ask you to accept these
gifts as a token of our well -wishes
for your future happiness and.pros-
perity.

Breeding For Broiler Production
The spectacular increase in num-
ber of broilers produced in recent
years has stimulated interest in
breeding for broiler improvement.
Some of the more important traits
which are receiving attention, in-
clude desirable conformation and
high feed efficiency of the broilers
as well as satisfactory egg produc-
tion and high hatchability of the
parent stock.
The bi'eeder must decide whether
he will select almost entirely for
broiler qualities such as broad-
breastedness and rapid growth or
whether he will also lay equal
stress on egg production and hatch-
ability. If the first method is fol-
lowed it. is likely that,rapid pro-
gress will -be made for broiler val.
ities but egg production and hatch-
ability may be so low as to make
the strain unprofitable for the pro-
duction of broilers. On the other
hand, it is unlikely that a strain
could be developed which possess.
es 'both egg producing ability and
broiler qualities to the highest de-
gree although some strains are
fairly satisfac.ory in both these re-
spects.
One solution to the problem of
obtaining good broiler chicks econ-
omically is the cro's-sing of broiler
strain males with females of a good
laying strain. in this way some of
tbe desirable conformation of the
broiler strain can be retained in
the crossbred broilers, and the high
egg production of the female line
along with good hatchability, will
insure ecoribinical production of
broiler chicks.
Another advantage of crossing
two breeds for the.production of
broilers is the hybrid vigor, ex-
pressed .by rapid growth, sometimes
exhibited by crossbreds. That dif-
ferences in hybrid vigor will be ob-
tained from various crosses was
shown at the Experimental Station,
Fredericton, N.B., where four dis-
tinct strains of New Hampshires
bred for 'broiler qualities, were
crossed with the Fredericton Sta-
tion strain of Barred Rocks. The
male progeny of the most success-
ful cross Were over one-half pound
heavier at 12 weeks of age than
the pure bred broiler chicks, Where-
as some of the crossbreds weighed
less than, the pure bred broilers.
Since feed efficiency tends to f9I-
low rate of growth, the -perform-
ance of the crossbreds in compari-
son with the purebred parental
strains is an important considera-
tion when selecting two strains for
the 'productien of Crossbred broil-
ers.
