FIRE DESTROYS LARGE STABLE Mr. Jas. Devereaux. Suff rs Lose of Stable and 250 Chicks. Shortly after seven o'clock Tues- day 'morning, the large frame stable on the residential 'property of Mr: James Devereaux,across from the Collegiate Institute, was - descovered to be on fire. The fire,. which es believed to have started from . a breeder stove, had ap- parently been underway for some time before beingdiscovered, and al- uiost' completely destroyed the build- ing and contents which included 250 young chicks. The stable was a • fine large frame building and its destruction will be a -'serious joss and inconvenience to Mr. Devereaux. Repairs In Phone Line The Stratfor'-Clinton telephone line which was broken by icer carried against it at the river, cr.•oesing near Mitchell, is now being 'reconstructed, according to P. D. Wilson, Bell' Tele- phone Manager for this district. To prevent a recurrence of tles damage, the weight of cables on the poles is betng removed by placing the cable entering Mitcliell in an un- derground conduit. Reinforced river - crossing poles are being erected to carry the remaining wires over the Bayfield river. These poles will be placed on high ground to prevent damage from floods. It is expected that the work will be completed this month.

The Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture says he should nese these feeds only when necessary. Essential to poultry are .protein feeds during the period of breeding, early growth, and egg production. Un- less hatehipg eggs come from proper- ly fed breeders, they'll give only a low hatching and poor quality chicks at that. A reasonable supply of prb- tein feede is essential to young chicks until they're six to eight weeks old. Atter that, the protein, content; • of the ration may ,be reduced until,' by the time chicks are 12 weeks old and on range, they're getting their porteins from grains and good green feed, But supplemental feeding will have to be resumed whets pullets reach laying age. And if pullets are to be used as breeders, the vitamin content of their ration will again have to be stepped lup. When they're not breeding, brood- ing,. or producing eggo, .poultry should be handled so as to conserve eupple- anental feeds./ This conservation May be achieved by supplying grains Gild ter providing sucotileiit pasture. '(Temporary shortages of grains in eome parts of Canada have not been ,due to scarcity, hitt to transportation lig^lotilties,irhese tlifiteulit1eo--atetst •, ings Stamps and Certificates'. The acute during the winter months—are now rapidly being overcome). The season is now approacbing- wheri, fresh grass will be available and poultry will 'be going on range. To give the birds a pasture rich in proteins, minerals and vitamins, plant a series of grain crops or let the Peel - try range on clover, alfalfa, or mixed' grass. By cutting the pasture fre- quently, you keep its forage tender and valuable. Farmers should take special note: If you are planning to raise a second or. late crop of" chicks for meat pur- poses, attempt .if only if you have a home supply of supplemental feeds such as milk and good pasture.. The second crap must get along this' sum, mer on good pasture and milk. (There is no finer protein feed available on the farm than milk). Save the com- mercial supplements fol the laying and breeding stock. For winter feeding, ;put aside a sup- ply of well -cured second or third .cht alfalfa shay.

No. 211 varie- ties, are urged to reserve this seed and to advise the county agricultural representative, the Field Husbandry Department, O.A.C., Guelph, or Crops, Seed and Weeds Branch, Toronto.

RLLOTSSRFOR CANNING SEASON Local District Comprises Seaforth, McKillop and ' Tuckersmith. 11 LBS.... 'PER PERSON The Local Ration Board, which has jurisdiction over the district compris- ing Seaforth, lyleleillop and Tucker - smith, held a meeting in the Town. Hall, Seaforth, on Monday evening to consider the sugar situation as it af- fects. the local housewives during the coming Canning season,' As is,wellknown, the sugar ration has been rather severe on Canadians who• have hitherto been Limited. in their use of sugar only by their de- sires or ability to buy. Most house- holds, by the practise -of economy and the use of substitutes, have managed to keep going for ordinary household use; with the hope and expectation that there Would be a substantial loosening up on the part ot,-.the pow- ers -that -be, whew the canning season opened up. That expectation, or hope, which- ever the housewife entertained, how- ever, has been badly shattered by the Sugar .,Controller of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, 'who has made available only 47,000 pounds of sugar for the whole district, compris ing the -town and two townships, for use during the entire canning season. Compared with "other years before, and even since the war, the amount seems so small that it could be look- ed upon in the light of a•minus quan- tity, but for the ^present, and probab- ly for the future, that is the local sit- uation. Under the circumstances, the Board had no other alternative than to make a fair distribution of thhe amount of sugar at their disposal, and decreed that every 'householder who had made. application for sugar for the canning season',, willed be al- lowed" eleven pounds each.., This enforced decision of the Ra- tion Board may have the effect of (Continued on Page. .tj_ _. • RED CROSS NOTES The conveners of the jam project met on Saturday evening at the home of Mrs. E.

Judgment was handed down this week by 'leis Honour Judge Costello in the case of ]Ernest L. Box vs. Bad-• se. Powell and Hesky Flax Products. The case, heard leek Thursday, arose .over an accident -Virich occur- red on the local Main Street on Feb. 17th of this year, when a horse be- longing to Powell became frighten- ed and slung a weight attached to it through the plate glass window of a store owned .by Mr. Box. Judge •Cos•tello 'found that Powell„ had complied' with the general prac- tise employed in the delivery trade; that his horse was not of the rue- away unaway type,"and that some extraordlit ary commotion must have'caused the horse to try to escape.. Upon these facts the -judge found no negligence on Powell's ' part and dieinis•sed the action against him. In the case of Hesky Flax Products Ltd., His Honour found that the driv- er of the truck, with snowplow at- tached, had ample warning to , be aware of the horse's reaction and did not employ sufficient care in meeting with the situation. On this ground he found than the accident was due sole- ly to the -driver's negligence, and gave, judgment with costs against the Flax Company. • Girl Guides Hold Meeting The Girl Guides meeting opened with the raising of the flag and "0 Canada."

Use Proteins Only When Necessary it. i essential that proteins, mineral and vitamin supplements be used on- ly where th.ey are most necessary and where they will give the greatest re- sulte, Eggs for. hatching must be from breeders that have been properly fed in this regard. otherwise low hatches of poor quality chicks will result.. During the brooding period until the chicks are six to eight weeks;. of age it is necessary that these feeds be liberally supplied. After that age the ratioti'rnay be gradually changed un- til by the time the chicks are twelve weeits old and when they are on range, they may' be grown largely on good green feed and grains. When the pullets reach laying' age the sup- plemental feeds will have to be in- creased over the quantity fed. on range and if the pullets are to be used as breeders,' the vitamin content of the ration, will again bave td be stepped up next fall and winter.
