Boyle "Put the Kettle On" There's something homely and friendly about the phrase, "Put the kettle on". It's a real country phrase too. I was reminded of it the other day when I dropped in for a chat with Ed, Wilkins in the village. Ed. used to be a neighbor of curs here at Lazy Meadows. He was quite a bit older thaie-either Mrs, Phil or My- self and retired to the village about five years ago. Ed was a good friend to have. . . .the kind who didn't mind helping out at seedtime or harvest or at a wood bee. We missed him when he moved away. Ed's wife died about three years ago and since then his eldest daughter has been keeping house for him. Early this year he slipped on some ice on the postoffice steps and since then he has been laid up. When I'm in the village with an hour or so to spare, I often drop in on him for a chat. He likes to talk about crops and prices and taxes and local politics. Waiting for grist at the mill last week I had quite a little time to spend and dropped in on Ed. We chatted away for an hour or so and he turned to his daughter and said, "Put the ket- tle eat Margaret and we'll have a bit to eat and a pot of tea." I didn't pro- test. There's a friendly sonttd to the words and a still friendlier sound as the kettle starts to bubble and boil and finally erupt into steam. Here in the country even, we sometimes get in such a hurry about things that we forget a lot of the older and more friendly customs. The time was when anybody who came to the house had to stop long enough for a cup of tea. If a friend dropped in for the purpose of any- thing from borrowing seed 'grain to buying a horse, you just naturally moved up to the house and soon the kettle would be bubbling and boiling and there would be cops of steaming tea and possibly some fresh cookies. The Indians may have proffered pipes of peace as a friendly gesture. basement table where deceased appar- entily had been cleaning the rifle, Widely known as a salesman in Southern Ontario, Mr. Aitchison' was born in Lucknow.

Proper Care Of Pullets Pay (Experimental Farm News) Pullets should normally reach sex- ual maturity and begin to lay at from five to seven Months of age, depend- ing upon the breed, variety or strain of birds, Their ability to start laying and to continue laying throughout the pullet year is largely dependent upon the growth, development and vigour of .

Cram, Dominion Experimental Farm, Indian Head, S A considerable number of potential hazards face the growing birds be- tween the baby chick and laying stag- es. Any of these may be sufficient to cause death or at least result in reduced thrift with slower growth and development. Many chicks receive their first set- back from digestive disturbances caus- ed by overheating or chilling owing to faulty 'adjustment or operation of the brooder stove or because of a poorly constructed brooder house. .A little extra foresight and care will usually overcome these troubles, Overcrowding at any age has a ser- ious effect upon the health and thrift of growing chicks. A 10x12 brooder house will accommodate 250 to 300 baby chicks, but extra floor space be- comes increasingly necessary until at. six months of age pullets require about four square feet of flOor space per bird, Separating the sexes at an early age, provision of,roosts at the three to four week stage and extre space is nec- essary, will help prevent the evils of overcrowding, Damp, unsanitary conditions favour the development of disease and para- sites. Frequent changes of litter and thorough cleaning of houses and equip- ment are necessary for the mainten- ance of health and thrift in the flock. Stinting of quality or quantity of feed is poor economy and will have an unfavourable effect on growth, devel- opment and thrift, All feeds should be self fed from hoppers or troughs constructed to prevent waste and con- tamination,' Grit and oyster shell of suitable size should also be supplied to chicks of all ages inf self feeders, Plenty of clean pure water is AS km. portent as feed. • Clean range not used by poultry the previous year, and an abundance good pasture with suitable shade and shelter are very important in the life of young growing stock, Inforthatiott on the feeding and tare of baby chicks, growing stock and lay. ing birds, may be obtained free upon request from the Dominion Depart., mot of Agriculture, Ottawa.
