W. Willcox, that Sir Edmund B. Osler do take the chair and that Mr. C. A. Bogert do act as Secretary. Messrs. A. R. Boswell and W. Gibson Cassels were appointed Scrutineers. The Secretary read the Report of the Directors to the Shareholders, and submitted the Annual Statement of the affairs of the Bank, which is as fol- lows :- " • TO THE SHAREHOLDERS :-- The Directors beg to present the following Statement of the result of the business of the Bank for the year ending 30th December, 1911 :--- 13alance of Profit and Loss Account, 31st December, 1910 $305,067 66 Premium received on new Capital Stock 702,799 37 Profit for the year ending 30th December, 1.911, after deducting charges of management, etc., and making provision for bad and doubtful debts AIL Making a total of Which has been disposed of as follows :- Dividend 3 p.c., paid 1st April, 1911-$120,000 00 Dividend 3 p.c., paid 3rd July, 1911.. 120,000 00 Dividend 3 p.c., paid 2nd Oct., 1911.. 129,706 50 Dividend 3 p.c., payable 2 Jan., 1912. 139,290 90 Transferred to Reserve Fund Balance of Profit Balance at credit Transferred from and Loss carried forward $508,997 702,799 RESERVE FUND. 704,045 94 $1,711,912 87 40 37 $1,211,796 77 $500,116 10 of account, 31st December, 1910 Profit and Loss Account $5,000,000 00 702,799 37 $5,702,739 37 In presenting the Annual Statement of the affairs of the Bank covering the year just closed, your Directors have to report that there has been con- tinued improvement in every respect. The Institution has shared fully in the widespread prosperity of the country, with a satisfactory increase in the net profits earned. The following Branches were established during the period under re- view : Welland, Ont.; Granville Street, Vancouver. B.C.; Hillhurst (Cal- gary), Alberta; Norwood (Edmonton), Alberta; St. John's (Winnipeg), Mani- toba. In view •of the steadily increasing volume of business between Canada and Great Britain, and to generally further the Bank's interests, a Branch was opened in London, England, in July last -the results already shown justify this action. The new buildings at Calgary, Alberta; Saskatoon, Sask.; Brandon, Man.; Dovercourt Road and. Bloor Street, Toronto; Lee Avenue, Toronto, and St. Clair Avenue and Vaughan Road, Toronto, referred to in -the last Annual Report, have been completed, with the result that commodious and handsome premises have been provided at these points, which we anticipate will meet our requirements for many years to come. It is the intention during 1912 to erect buildings for the followir ;' Branches in Toronto: Dufferin Street and St. Clair Avenue, and Deer Pa_.. -corner Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue. Arrangements are under way to establish new Offices at several im-;ort- ant and desirable Canadian points during the present year, which it in con- sidered •will eventually prove sources of profit to the Bank. The I3ranches at Summerberry and Melville, Sask., were closed in 1911. Owing to the general expansion of the Bank's business and to provide for increasing demands for Circulation, it was considered advisable to offer to the Shareholders in July, 1911, $1,000,000 of new Capital Stock at 200. Rights to subscribe for this issue expired on the 15th January, 1912, at which date $975,700 of the amount was subscribed, and $307,852.50 paid up. When full payment of the new issue has been made the Bank's paid-up Capital will be $5,000,000 and the Reserve Fund $6,000,000. The authorized Capital Stock 19 $10,000,000 and the unallotted balance, $5,000,000, will be issued from time to time as 'conditions warrant. The Balance Sheet of the Bank, showing the various Assets and Lia- bilities at the close of business on the 30th December, 1911, has been verified by your Directors, who, in addition, have examined and found to be correct the Cash Assets and investments mentioned therein. All branches of the Bank have been inspected during the past twelve anonths. E. B. OSLER, Toronto, 31st January, 1912. President. The report was adopted. • The thanks of the Shareholders were tendered to the President, Vice- President, and Directors for their services during the year, and to the Gen- eral 11Ianager and other officers of the Bank for the efficient performance of their respective duties. The following gentlemen •were duly elected Directors for the ensuing year: -Messrs. A. W. Austin, W. R. Brock, James Carruthers, R. J. Christie, 3. C. Eaton, J. J. Foy, K,C., M.L.A.; W. D. Matthews, A. M. Nanton, and Sir Edmund 13. Osler, M.P. At a subsequent meeting of the Directors Sir Edmund B. Osler, M.P., was elected President, and Mr. W. D. Matthews, Vice -President, for the en- suing term. GENERAL STATEMENT ATEMENT LTA13tLA'r'IES.

Then some one went and discovered turkey, and the big bay window bird. with crimson cravat and cart wheel conclusion, quick swung into popularity and gave a solar plexus to the fat pig that lead from the primordial period been the pit'ce de resistnnee on King Arthur's round table, immediately old world wiseacres went to jaw wran- gling that turkey sprang from any- where but America.

PEDrtO NINO'S LITTLE TUBE. rian to his majesty the king of Spain, has searched the dusty royal archives for us and hands out this turkey truth: Pedro Nino was turkey's discoverer on the voyage made by him in 1499. Ile bought some from the Indians at the rate of four glass beads for each fowl. It is certain that in 1500, on the return of this fortunate expedition to Bayeria, in Galicia. besides the mon- keys, parrots and other curiosities col- lected by Nino in America, turkeys were first seen on 1'juropean soil. The turkey was sent from Spain to England he 1324 !and first eaten in Prance, ,lune 27, 1570. at the wedding of t;Imrlcs IX. and Elizabeth of Aus- tr;a. Twelve for this feast were ship - Photo by L.

But if turkey didn't 'originate In Tinto', how about the name? The bird was first called Pat+os de Wins. Indian fowl, as corning from the Indies, which Columbus was sup-. posed to have discovered. and then. on account of its bare [tend and neck, it was confounded with the guinea, which was tht'n called turkey, and the word In sixteenth century vernacular did not refer to Turkey, but Signified foreign. But, say, When Raleigh carried the po- tato .from America to England and they called it the Irish potato, does that prove the tuber cane from fair Erin? Nit. DON'TS. Dbn"t expect fuel returns from hens that only have half care. Don't forget that hens don't do sic, well In the hot spell. Netter slack up yourself or you'lI be iaid on the shelf. Shot A Bear. A bear story that savors of the pioneer days, but without the old- time setting, is to hand, and, further• more, it is an authentic one. While out with a shooting party in North Escalope on ]Friday last, Mr. A.. W. Fisher shot a black bear after a ehort ebame. The bear is of a good size, bit. ting the settles at over lip() pounds, and is the first that bat been shot in this viotnity for several yearns. WHY OQO LER aQ11111X,S, "1' tng Turkey, pranging o'er the green. In all that wealth of golden sheen, With feu tall spread, In necktie red. As you hold high your lordly head And shake that noodle on your nose .And blow yourself in those dude clothes-- "Why Is it now, you game old sport, That you get off that strange retort To every hungry man you see, 'Gobble, gobble, gobble me?' Wiry. you must want us to eat Yeti With cranberries and stuffing too. "Why don't you, like a crow, caw, caw, Or, like a jackass, he -haw-haw, Or, like a cat, meow, meow, Or, like old Towser, boW, Wow, wow? Then fours wouldn't out off your red head And make of you a Christmas spread." That gobbler then puffed his chest out, Shook the big noodle on his snout Threw his head back in anger proud And gobbled at me awful loud And thus replied to all I said, With stamp of foot and shake of head: "Why, sir, should you butt in on me? T'm here to fulfill destiny, hen by to happy bunting ground Where grasshoppers immense abound, Where wigglers wiggle wondrously And gobblers gobble ever free. "Bring here your hemlock; Smiling, bold, I'll drink like Socrates of old. off with my drumsticks, slice my breast And pass me round to every guest, Then from the dish my wishbone pluck And wave to all for me good luck!" C. M. BARNITZ. KURIOS FROM KORRESPONDENTS Q. -I notice fanciers claim that expo- sure to hot sun turns white birds brassy. Has it any bad effect on the plumage of colored fowls? A. --Yes; it deadens the color anti gloss. Q.- I recently read that hens never gorge themselves with oats and the grain should be kept before thein all the time. flow is this? A. -•-If hens etre hungry they will gorge themselves on oats. as they will on any other a;ratin they like. 1 f turned into an oat field -after being penned up they often stuff and get hard crop. Q, -When is best time for hatching Bantams and what variety makes the (,est mother? A. -As small size is win- ning quality, they should be hatched tato, May, ,lune and July being, the ;test mouths and the Cochin Lautam hen being the best mothe.t'.. Q. -Is there a school where poultry judging may be learned?' A. -Certain agricultural colleges -Cornell. New York. and State college. Pennsylvania -give some instruction on the subject, but most of our poultry judges gradu- ate front the School of experience. Q. -What is inbreeding? A. -Breed- ing from birds that are closely related. Q. -What is, meant by a top cross? A.-Iiy the mating of a male of one breed with the female of another. Q. -Which takes on fat faster, the !trio or rooster? A. -The hen. In breeding season males seldom take on fat. while Lieus often get fat as butter and thus lay infertile eggs. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. Ireland has 24,000,000 hens and 50,- 000 goats and in the past year export- ed $20,000,000 in poultry produce. England's egg output does not equal the consumption, and she must import $33,000.000 worth of eggs. Dr. Kyes of Chicago inoculated a (White Leghorn rooster with a prepa- ration obtained from a human lung in- volved with acute' lobar pneumonia. He then secured an immune serum from the fowl that has a protective power against the disease. Winter is not the hen's natural lay- iu;; season, and this must be consid- ered in our endeavori to make her lay those high priced eggs. A. ration, ASS _ n ns possible to than which spring and summer furnish brings success, but stimulants, as with men, spell fail - 0 re. Many toil the sex of ducks by that pretty curl on the tail, but those who delacud on that sign to select Indian Runner drakes often get left. as the male is often without that ornament. The female does all the talking in the duck tribe, as often in the, human, so there's the cue for you. One peculiarity of many amateurs Is that they often select as their first breed a fowl that is very difficult to breed true to color and color markings, perhaps because such are the most beautiful. It is wiser to smart with a simpler and easier breed and thus get the first principles before tackling the most ditiicult. The recent invasion of locusts if it did no good to the trees, sure made a feast for the foxes, skunks, ground hogs, birds, poultry and even the pigs. But if you thought it was great to see your birds gobble the big bugs you should go to the east. where`t. cy are gathered by the ton. dried and gobbled by both hefts and humans. The farmer will tell you that the great fattener for hogs is yellow corn, and if you follow him when lie feeds the hens you will likely lind Mtn feed. Ing corn to them also. ETe expects these hogs to get fat and those hens to lay eggs on the same ration. "It's a poor rule that won't work both ways." and this is a poor one. It is quite amusing to bear some of our poultry lecturers wrangling over the moist and dry mash question. The question is then generally given to the audience, and invariably the ma- jority is for the moist mask. Try them both, and when you count the eggs and note condition of' your fowls you will likely vote with the majority too. Dt'. Mnry P. Pennington of the de- partment of agriculture declares that "eggs laid in the cool days of spring and properly put away in storage nre better than the eggs freshly laid in the hot weather and rushed to the city from the best." English "eggsperts" are laughing loud at Dr. Mary's state- ment. Yes; mere man may safely laugh at a female with the Atlantic between.

A.. leetlit'e-room last Friday evening that question was argued by Six good men and true with all the vigor and eloquence at their corn- xnand, Dr, Newton, Lindsay Mitchell and Wilfred Anderson upheld the press ; J. F. 1Iurdocb, Ewart Cameron and W. L. 1Vlackelizie defended the steam engine. Daily papers recently announced the death iu Mount Clemens, Mich., at !Vias, W, E. A. Lewis, wife of Rev. Mr. Lewis.

His early home was at Grand Valley, and he was at one time cur- ate at Mount Forest, Mrs, Lewis was a St, Helens girl, her maiden name being Minnie Barnby, At the Monday meeting of Kinloss Council the application of Thomas Murray of Langside for the Clerkship and Treasurership ' of the township, was accepted by vote. Temporarily at least, this puts Geo. Moffat, one of the best clerks in the county, out of the office which he has held and cap- ably filled for years. Other officers are :-Assessor, D. S. McDonald ; Col- lector, John Purvis ; Medical health Officer, Dr. Jamieson. The managers of Lucknow Presby- terian Church held their first meeting for 1912, on the 5th inst. A supply of hymn books for visitors, a railing for the rear stairway, a curtain scheme for dividing the classes in Sunday School, a water urn, and new electric lights to replace damaged ones were among the items agreed on. The matter of rebuilding the Church sheds was also discussed and a strong com- mittee was appointed, to deal with the matter. Died On Train. While corning to London on Sabot,- day ith r -day morning from Lucian on the train which arrives in the city at ten o'clock, a :I -year-old boy, who resides in Lttcan, died of internal blood poisoning. On Wednesday the boy slipped ori some ice and fractured his ankle and it VAei decided to send biro to.St,. Soseplia s hospital for an °pers.

Writing from Poplar, B. 0., Mrs. 0. Hanson, wife of the proprietor of the Commercihl Hotel, says :-"I suf- fered for years with 'bleeding piles. The pain was so bad at times that 1 could hardly walk, and ordinary remedies seemed utterly unable to give me any ease. Finally I decided to undergo an operation, and went to the Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane. There they performed an operotion and did all they could for me. For a time I was certainly better, but with- in twelve months the trouble started again and tbe piles became as painful as ever. I tried liniments, bot poul- tices, various pile .cures. and indeed everything I could think would be likely to do any good, but still I con- tinued to suffer, and the shooting, burning, stinging pains, the dull, aching and wretched, worn-out feel- ing that the disease causes continued as ba'1 as ever. "One day I read about Zam-Buk and thought I would try it. The first one or two boxes gave me move ease than anything else I had tried, so I went on with the treatment. In a short time I began to feel ,altogether different and better, and I saw that Zam-Buk was going to cure me. Well, I went on using it, and by the time I had used six boxes I was delighted to find myself entirely cured. That w as three years ago, and from then to the present time there has been no return of the trouble." Zam-Buk is a sure 'cure for piles, eczema. ulcers, abscesses, cold stores, chapped hands varicose sores, burns, scalds, bruises, inflamed patches. and i11 skin injuries and diseases.

Increases in net profit, in paid up c tpital, reserve fund, deposits and to- tal assets, characterize the 41st annual statement of the Dominion Bank sub- mitted to the shareholders at the meeting held in 'Toronto on Wednes- day the 31st of January. The Report was the most favorable in the history of the Bank and elicited the warmest appreciation of shareholders and all who are interested in this well known institution. Net profits for the year amounted to $701,000 an increase of $50,000 over the profits for the previous year. The reserve fund now stands at $5,702,000 an increase of 702,000. Deposits now total $53,547,000 as compared with $49, 302,000 for the previous year. The Bank's paid up capital was also in- creased by $702,000 and now stands at $4,702,000. $1,000,000 of new stock was issued. at 200, which in itself is an indication of the bank's standing with the investing public, and the large in- crease in deposits very strong evi- dence of the Bank's popularity:with the general public. When the total new issue of capital is paid up, the re- serve will stand at $0,000,000 and the paid up capital at $5,000,000. The au• thorized capital stock is $10,000,000. It is the intention of the Directors to issue tbe remaining $5,000,000 of the $1.0,000,000 authorized, from time to time as conditions warrant, The to- tal assets of the Dominion Lank now stand at $70,170,000, making it ono of the strongest and largest of the Cana. dian Banks.
