Put your brooder to work 3, or 4, or even 5 weeks aheads of your usual time! That will give you more time to look after them properly before the Spring rush . . more time to grow, and develop them properly before Fall . . . and give you bigger better birds, laying bigger eggs when demand is'highest and supplies lowest, next. October and November. Order What You Need EARLY Be "forehanded". The clays are gone when you could walk into a store with a list and walk out again with all the goods you wanted. Check your equipment, If you need anything — repairs, replacements, even a handful of nails—order them now, Make a systematic job of it, for if you overlook anything you can't count on making it good at the last minute. That's also true of feed, fuel, and chicks . , good chicks. Order in advance. And while you're about it, make sure., they're good chicks. Don't waste time, work, feed, money and hope on second- raters. Don't order too many. Over- crowding is disastrous. Good chicks grow fast, They need more room every day, Don't order more than experience and common sense tell you that you can raise right. If you want to raise more than your -brooding equipment will handle at one time, start one brood extra early, and another in the Spring. "The BRAY A. C. ADAMS Wingham; or Chick' W. T.

Boyle Isn't it strange how we older fel- lows get the idea every so often that we are still young enough to go out and play with the youngsters. Last year I was watching the kids out an the pond in the meadow on the Hig- gins place. They were gliding around on their skates as happy and carefree as you please. They were cutting figure eights and curlicues and everything. There was an old pair of skates hanging in the driving shed. They were a bit rusty and the boots were I hard from lack of grease but I picked! them up and went across to the pond. I The youngsters didn't say anything but there seemed to be a titter of amusement running around the crowd. They were frankly amused by the whole thing. In fact they scented to put on a perfect demonstration of skating from then on. It looked so easy and it was so easy to remember the days when I cut quite a figure on the ice: King Wants Manpower Knowledge .Toranto, — A Toronto newspaper in a special dispatch from Ottawa says Prime Minister Mackenzie King with- in .the last few days has written Labor - Minister Mitchell requesting "detailed answers to 19 .`pertinent' questions" relating to Canada's manpower situ- ation. The dispatch adds: "Six of the questions concern agriculture, des- cribed by authorities here and through- out the field organization as the most chaotic situation, of all. There was at least one question concerning the still-critical shortage of manpower in the coal mines. Tug, 10 Men Missing Montreal, — The tug Eureka, owned by the Sincennes-McNaughton Line, of Montreal, has been missing for a month on a trip down the St. Law- rence with 10 men aboard, company 'officials said.

Dr, Frantisek Pavlasek, Czechoslovak minister, looks to the day when "made-in-Canada" war materials will have helped free Czechs front Nazi slavery, Arrangements were made for the four diplomats to visit the Canadian Pacific shops which for many months have 'been, turning out a steady stream of "Valentine" tanks, Those first few moments of teeter- ing on the ice were bad , . . mighty bad but then after discovering that the best way was to forget all about the long, dashing strokes. I started to creep across. There were rusty streaks along behind me . . long, ,brown smears and my toes were all cramped up in the too-small boots. A youngster went dashing around me in a graceful swirl and I was off again on a flight of fancy imagining that I could do the same thing, That's when I lost my balance and the ice came up with startling rapidity. In fact I went down to meet it in a very amaz- ing way. The older you get the more stub- born it seems you get. No matter what you do you keep on thinking that in just a little while you will be able to do it properly. The more you keep on the worse it gets and I do mean worse. I slipped and fell and skidded and finally landed on sonic shell ice and went clown to my knees in water. I went home and spent a, whole week with aches and bruises. muscles I never knew existed before came to light in a painful way, l got- a cold that lasted all winter and every time I sneezed it seemed as if the paining muscles decided to start all over again. Just last week I watched the youngsters out from school trying their toboggan on the steep slopes of ottr Big Hill. They had perfect to- bogganing. It had rained a little scum of ice over the snow and on this crust they were whizzing along like bullets, It was the most perfect thing you. could imagine. My, but they ' were. having lots of fun. I sort of ambled over to where they were hoping all the time that they would ask me to join them. At first I just stood there making out that I just wanted to watch them. Then they finally asked me if I would like to go for a ride. At first I said I didn't want to. They insisted and so finally I got on. It was a most thrilling thing to go Whizzing along. The steep climb, back up the hill was'nt so good but I took that in my stride. I sat out for a couple of times and then the oldest Higgins lad asked to go along and go over the bump. That was a hollowed out piece that - gave just the right twist to send you flipping high in the air. The boys had all gone over the.bump and they did.42t. seem to mind it. They put me on the: back of the toboggan. I was the heav iest they said. We skimmed along like nobody's business. Then caine the, bump, Watvl What ab UM p, really was. We hit it at a tremendous' speed and the frist thing I knew the toboggan was away off down the hill and I was rolling down along the crust. It was like rolling through a plate glass window. Yesterday was the first day that I could shave myself without supreme torture. I've ached and pained and have resolved to never try anything like that again. I wonder what fool thing I'll try next year. A person has a hard time learning common sense it serums,
