Old Man Winter this year kept a grip
of us just as long as he could, never'.
so much as letting go for a day, and,,
most of ns were rather tired of his
reign and glad to see him abdicate.
But spring is here, . We may have
a cold blast or two, maybe a few
flakes of snow, yet, but it cannot
last and things are really growing a-
gain. I saw dozens of little green
and pink noses pushing up through
the soil when I went out to examine
the garden the other day, 'It was
very heartening. It gave me a feel-
ing of exultation. The winter is
past, the summer is coming, the old
earth is awakening from her long;
deathlike sleep and soon we shall be
gladdened by the reappearance of
grass and buds, of flowers and fruit,
As the winter blasts increased and
continued one might have lost heart
and have said to himself, "The old
earth is dead. It can never shake off
the present frost and snow. It has
been bested. It has weathered many
a. storm, but this has been too severe,
spring will never come again." But

BABIES
Over six hundred babies are born
every day in Canada; twenty-five new
- babies arrive every hour of the day
and night, which means that we can
boast of one new Canadian every
four or five minutes.
The first few hours of life are the
most critical period of human exis-
tence from the point of view of'sur-
vival. Despite the fact that infants
are given a much better chance to
live today than ever before, never-
theless, the first year of life is still
• the period when one in six of all
deaths at all ages occurs, and 'of all
the deaths which occur during the
first year of life, a .large percentage
take place on the first day following
birth.
There is ane way open to us by
which we may hope to prevent these
very early deaths, and . that is
through better care of the mother
before the birth of the child. These
children do not die as a result of any
occurrence after birth, but from con-
ditions arising during pregnancy and
at the time of birth.
The baby who survives this period
is absolutely dependent. Babies can-
not do anything for themselves; they
must depend upon their parents for
the care which they need. Some chile
dren seem to grow up like Topsy
without any care, but taking children.
as a group, it is the child who re-
ceives proper maternal care Who es-
capes the pitfalls which beset the in-
' fart, '
There is 'nothing of greater impor-
tance to the child than breast feed-
ing. Practically, every healthy moth-
er can nurse her bpby, and no mother.
should think. of not nursing her baby,
or of weaning him without seeking
the advice of her doctor. The doc-
tor, if breast feeding is impossible
or when the time for weaning comes,
will prescribe proper artificial feed-
ings.
The baby requires water, and be-
cause he, cannot ask for it, he must
be offeree] a drink of water at fre•,
quent intervals. The baby who is
clean is more comfortable; and so he
should have a daily bath. His clothes
should be loose and comfortable; he
should wear enough clothing to keep
him warm but not enough to make
him hot.
Regularity in feeding is essential
to health. 'Feed by the clock, wale
ing the child if necessary. This mei-
motes
ro-motes good habits, including better'
rest. The ,old habits of rocking the'
baby to sleep or sitting by his crib
until he goes to sleep are undesirable
for both child and mother. The come
fest is another bad Habit. The baby
does not have to have something al-
ways in his mouth, and the comfort
should never be used because it is
really irritating and dirty, as well as
being deforming to the mouth.

"THE LIFE
OF OUR LORD"

CHAPTER THE SECOND up in Heaven, was heard,to say "This.
is My beloved Son, in whom I am well
When King Herod was dead, an
Angel came to Joseph again, and
said he might naw go to Jerusalem,
and not be afraid for the Childs' sake.
So Joseph and Mary, and her Son
Jesus Christ (who are commonly cal-
led The Holy Family} travelled to-
wards Jerusalem; but hearing on the
way that Herod's son was the new
King, and fearing that he, too, might
want to hurt the Child, they turned
out of the way, and went to live in
Nazareth. They lived there, until
Jesus Christ was twelve years old.
Then Joseph and Mary went to Jer-
usalem to attend a Religious Feast.
which used to be held in those days,
in the Temple of Jerusalem, which
was a great church or cathedra]; and
they took Jesus Christ with -them, -and
when the Feast was over, they tra-
velled away from Jerusalem, back
towards their own 'home in Nazareth,
with a great many of their friends
and neighbors. For people used, then,
to travel a great many together, for
fear of robbers; the roads not being
so safe and 'well guarded as they are
now, and travelling being much more
difficult altogether, than it now is.
They travelled on, for a whole day,
and never knew that Jesus Christ was,
not with them; for the company be-
ing large, they thought He was seine -
where among the people, though they
did not see Him. But finding that He
was not there, and fearing' that He
was lost, they turned back to Jerusa-
lem in great anxiety tolook for Him.
They 2ound Him, sitting in the Tem-
ple, talking about the Goodness of
God, and how we should all pray to.
him, with some learned Hien who
were called Doctors. They were not
that you understand by the word "Dos
tors' now; they did not attend sick
people; they were scholars and clever
men. And Jesus Christ showed such
knowledge in what He said tothem,
and in the questions IIe asked thein,
that they were all astonished
He went with Joseph and Mary
home to Nazareth, when they had
found Hirn, and lived there until He
was thirty or thirty-five years old.
At that time there was a very
good man, indeed, named John, who
was the son of a woman named Eli-
zabeth --the cousin of Mary, And
people being wicked, and violent, and
killing, each other, and not minding
their duty : towards God, John .(to
teach therm better) went about the
country, preaching to them, and en-
treating them to be better "men and
women. And because he .laved them
more than himself, and didn't mind
himself when; he was doing them
good, he was poorly •dressed in the
skin of a cancel, and- ate little but'
some insects called locusts, which he
found as he travelled; and wile. hon-
ey, which the bees Ieft in the Hollow

oil'. So do camels, but I think you
have' seen a camel? At all events
they are brought over here, some -
tunes; and if you would like to see
one, I will shew you one.
There was a River, not very far
from Jerusalem, called the River Jor-
dan; and in this water, John baptiz-
ed those people who would •tonne to
him, and promised to .be. better: A
great many people went to him in
crowds. Jesus Christ went too. But
when John saw Him, John said "Why
should S baptize you, who are so much,
better than I!" Jesus Christ .made,
answer, "Suffer it to be so now," So
John baptized Hint. And when He
was baptized, the sky 'opened, and a
beautiful bird like a dove came flying
Jesus Christ then went into a wild
and lonely country called the Wilder-
ness, and stayed there forty days and
forty nights, praying that He might
be of use to men and women, and
teach them to be better, so that af-
ter their deaths, they might be hap-
py in Heaven.
When Ile came out of the Wilder-
ness, He began to etre sick people
by only laying His hand upon them;
for God had given 'Flim power to heal
the sick, and to give sight to . the
blind,' and to do many wonderful and
solemn things of which I shall tell
you more bye and bye, and which are
called "The Miracles" of Christ. I
wish you would remember that word,
because I shall use it again, and I
should like you to know that it means
something which is very wonderful
and which could not be done without
God's leave and assistance.
The first Miracle which Jesus
Christ did,'was at a place called Cana,
where He went to a Marriage Feast
with Mary His Mother. There was
no wine; and Mary told 'Him so.
There were only six stone waterpots
filled with water. But Jesus turned
this water into wine by only lifting
up His ]rand; and all who were there,
drank of it.
For God had given Jesus Christ the
power to do such wonders; and He
did them, that people imght know He
was not a common man, and might
believe what He taught;them, and al-
so believe that God had sent Hint.
And many people, hearing this, and
hearing that He cured the sick, did
begin to believe in Him; and great
crowds followed Him in the streets
and on the roads; wherever He went.

A writ claiming damages for Ver-
na Scafe was read at the regular
meeting of the Ridgetown town
Mu/mil by Clerk Herb 11ZeDenald.
Miss Scafe had her hands burned
last month in the ladies' rest room,
Ridgetown, supposedly by an electric
current which is alleged to have been
running along the water pipes due to
a faulty electrical apparatus used for
thawing pipes. Since that time the
local public utilities officials . have
stated they will take no responsibility
for the burning after having made
investigations.
A writ was written ten days ago a,
gainst the head body of the Munici,
pality but in turn will be handed ov-
er to the Ridgetown Public Utilities.
Wilson, Pike, Stewart and Lewis are
acting for Miss Scafe. The writ stat-
ed in part: "The young girl's hands
are useless to her at the present
time and it may be doubtful if her
hands will ever be tnuoli use to her."
"We are instructed to issue a writ
claiming damages on behalf of Miss
Scafe for injuries sustained and ex-
penses incurred by her . we feel
that yourcorporation is liable there-
fore and must answer for the da,

SOME FACTORS' AFFECTING
MORTALITY IN BABY CHICKS
(Experimental Farms Note)
It is a regrettable truth that, with
the rapid expansion which has taken
place in the poultry industry in the
past decade, there has been an in-
creased mortality that seems to 'be
out of proportion to the increase in
number of chickens hatched. It
would be hard to say what single a-
gent has been mostly responsible foe.
the high death rate but, where mor-
tality is abnormal, the cause may be
traced to one or more of the follow-
ing hazards: inferior or diseased
breeding stock; faulty incubation;.
poor brooding facilities or equipment
improper feeding.
Probably the major factor is the
breeding stock and, with the advent
of large hatcheries where the sourer
of supply is doubtful, the danger
from this. source has increased. Re-
putable hatcheries have exercised
every effort to safe -guard their own
interests and their customers by
blood -testing, vaccination, drastic
culling of inferior birds, careful at-
tention to sanitation, and the intro-
duction of only new blood that show-
ed vigour and vitality. Stock dis-
tributed from a source where these
vital precautions have been practised
may be as reliable as any .hatched
on the home plant but, whero'the
source of supply either of eggs or of
chicks is in doubt, the risk of dis-
ease and high mortality is indeed
great. We have found in all laying
contests that, when there is a con-
gregation of large numbers of birds
from various origin, the mortality is
high; and this risk must be present
in a greater degree when baby chicks
are produced and distributed under
similar 'conditions. Poor vitality ant'
hereditary disease in ' the parent
stock are greatly responsible for high
mortality in chicks, but poor brood-
ing equipment and methods contri-
bute in no small degree to the dis-
asters that follow errors in this re-
spect. Uneven temperatures, over-
crowding with improper ventilation,
and lack of sunlight, encourage toe -
picking, cannibalism, and rickets —
some 'of the principal causes of high
mortality in the brooding stage —
while an improper diet, without the
essential elements that should be
present in the right proportion in a
well -,balanced chick feed, may also
contribute to a great extent to the
mortality,
The modern incubator, 'in capable
hands, has almost disposed of the
danger from faulty incubation and it
is Seldom that disaster can be traced
to this cause. ;Better knowledge of
breeding, feeding, and rearing, has
been acquired by scientific research
and investigation, resulting in the el-
imination of many hazards and as-
sisting to a great extent in the ex•
pansion of the industry.
When necessary, 'full advantage
should be taken of the information a-
vailable at ,any Dominion Experimen-
tal Farm. e

I'll sing a song of April—
How can I choose but sing
When all the world in music
Is saying it is spring?
Or if the world alone will bud and
sing;
Sing, hope, to me!
Sweet notes, my hope, soft notes for
memory.
The sap will surety quicken soon or
late,.,
The tardiest bird will twitter to a
mate;
So spring i
p g rust dawn again with
wamrnth and bloom,
Or in this world, or in the world to
conte.'
Sing, voice of spring!
Till I, too, blossom and rejoice and
sing.

NESTING TIME
The bees are busy in their murmur-
ous search,
The birds are putting up their wo-
von frames,
And all the twigs and branches of the
birch
Are sheeting into tiny emerald
flames;
The maple leaves are spreading slow-
ly out
Like small reel hats, or pointed par -
awls.
The high -ho flings abroad his merry
shout,
The veery from the inner brush-
wood calls;
The .gold -green poplar, jocund as may
be,
The sunshine in its laughing heart
receives,
And shimmers in the wind innumer-
ably
Through all its hosts of little lac-
nncred leaves.
And lo!the bob -o -link -he soars and
sings,
With all the heart of summer in
his wings.

Iloty hard it yet would freeze.

It's springtime in the Northland now,
And how the soft snow shrinks!
Therearing rapids tell the tale,
The streams have swelled their'

Yoe hear the beaver's call of love --
The mating season's here,
While otter rolls and scratches round
In ancient sign -beds near.
The muskrat with his pleading voice
Now skirts the water's edge,
And throwing caution to the winds,
Seek food from root of sedge.
The mink his bank enjoys and frisks
In happy gleeful play,
'While overhead a blue heron soars,
And seeks a place to stay.
Frain fallen log in distant wood
With rhythmic beat there .comes
The rapping of the partridge now `
:As zealously he drums.
The squirrels jabber saucily
As through tate woods they chase,
And in the evening bullfrog songs
Are heard from down the race.
The streams will soon be settling
down,
And then their silvery song
Will rise in nature's anthem sweet
. When summer days are long,
The shy cheer/ink the robin, too,
The vireos .are here.
The rapt song sparrow's mellow notes
Fill all the wood with cheer.
It's springtime in the Northland no'w,
The flowers are peeping through..
Ansi nature in her dress of green
Is calling—calling you.
