F. Fran- cis, Poultry Department, Ontario Agricultural College. This is ac- complished mainly in two ways: First: By the proper care and management of the birds to keep them healthy and sufficiently well fleshed to be in laying condition. Second: By the removal of non - layers through the frequent and systematic culling of the Bock The seasonal changes which 3c - curs in a group of birds permits culling for egg production on a comparatively easy basis. In the Fall as pullets are being housed, they should be culled and all small, deformed, weak constitutioned or every coarse individuals, removed. and marketed for meat purposes. From this time on, culling in the flock should be continuous and consist in the removal of any bird when she ceases production. Such individuals, if otherwise healthy, usually show signs of frequent brooding or early molting or ac- cumulation of hard fat in the egg sac. These are the boarders and their presence in a, flock increases feed costs necessary to produce each dozen of eggs. Remember, if they don't lay. they don't pay, Prof. Francis add- ed. McKILLOP The monthly meeting of the W. M.S. and W.A. was held on Feb. 10 at the home of • Mrs. George Campbell with a good attendance, The meeting opened by singing Hymn 503 and all repeating the General Thanksgiving Prayer. Mrs. John Gordon took charge of the meeting. Hymn 358 was sung and prayer on China was given by Mrs. John Gordon. Psalm No, 145 was read responsively. Hymn 376 was sung and a Christian Stewardship reading was given by Mrs. Wm. Shannon. The offering was receiv- ed; Hymn 376 was sung; prayer by Mrs. John Gordon; reading by Mrs. Leslie Pryce, "Seven Hours in Trinidad." Mrs. Gordon McKen- zie gave a reading, "Work in China." Mrs. Ken Stewart., presi- dent of the W.:V1.S.• gave a read- ing, "West of the Gorge," and Mrs. •Gordon spoke on the Mission Band. Minutes of last meeting were read and the roll call was an- swered by a verse of Scripture. A reading by Mrs. Eldon Kerr, "Sun- day Morning," was followed by Hymn 563. The meeting was clos- ed by prayer and a social half hour spent. Lunch was served by the hostess and her helpers. Forestry (W. A:* Ihrston, Zone Forester) (Third in a, Series) PROTECTION QF THE WNQODLOT OR PLANTATION There are several injurious fac- tors which can damage ah planta- tion or a woodiot. These are lire, livestock, insects and disease. • The best way to protect a wood - lot from fire is to be careful. Severe damage can be done .by fires and the effects may not be very obvious but they will last for years. Young seedlings and sap- lings are burnt and it May take ten years to grow another crop of seedlings to the size of those de- stroyed. The accumulated litter of years which helps to enrich the forest soil may be destroyed by fire. The mineral soil will be ex- posed, and this increases the amount of surface run-off of wa- ter. The litter acts as a sponge to help hold back water. Large or. mature trees may be damaged by ground fires, being completely kill- ed or severely burnt at the base. All fires in the woods should be Federation News (By W. V. Roy) After repeated attempts, our fed- eral member of Parliament, Mr. W. H. Golding, has finally been able to convince the Veterinary Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, that it was most urg- ent to commence the 'T.B. test of cattle in the county. This work was begun last week,, when two men arrived in Clinton on Mon- day, Feb. 14, to actually commence work on the project. Any farmers anxious •to have their herds tested at an early date should make application to Dr. Childs, the Veterinary Director General, H e al t h of Animals Branch, Ottawa. The President of the Count•,• Federation, W. R. Lobb, of Clinton. has been chosen to go to Ottawa. along with a delegation from Mid- dlesex, and 'adjoining counties, to protest the condemnation being paid on cattle found to be reactors on the T.B. test. "Food in sales clothing," was the topic for discussion at Farm Forums on Monday evening, Feb. 7. Forums decided that advertis- ing of food products was in the best interests of the producer, but fundamental is the producing of a quality product. Highway East Forum in Huron tells of a man who raised a large family — ten girls. When the Last one married., the men of his age congratulated him. Said the old fellow, "That's nothing; if a man raises good stuff he has no trouble to get rid of it." Both Tom Pryde and John Han- na, our provincial members of par- liament, have promised strong sup- port in preventing 'the manufac- turers of margarine in copying the color and appearance of butter. C. R. Coultes, Belgrave; Simon Hallahan, Blyth; Bertram Klopp, Zurich, and W. V. Roy, Clinton,, attended the annual meeting of C. F. and G.A. in the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, on Saturday, Feb. 19. The meeting got under way in "Vanity Fair" at 10 a.m. Hatch Chicks Early For Profit Progressive poultrymen favor the brooding of early hatched chicks for sound economic reasons. Chief among these is the obvious fact that early hatched pullets will be the late summer and fall produc- ers of market eggs which to the commercial erg producer means more profit since this is the period of low supply and higher prices. The same reasoning applies to the rearing of early cockerels which can be marketed while the demand is keen and prices high, says H. J. West, Dominion Experimental Station. Lacombe, Alta. Such a plan is also economical in the use of labour since it comes during the somewhat slack 'period' before spring work and gardening claim attention. As a result, bet- ter care is taken of these chicks than would be the case for those hatched later in the season. Cou- pled with this is the general ob- servation, that more efficient and effective operation of brooder stoves 4s possible during cold wea- ther, particularly if the brooder 'house is well insulated. Brooder equipment may be more economically used if two groups of chicks, one in February and one in May, are reared. Many of those who rear early hatched pullets follow the practice of purchasing turkey poults or cockerels in May when the early chicks are on range. This considerably extends the length of time the brooder equipment is in use and thus mini- mizes the cost per bird for this portion of the overhead expenses. Heavy losses from coccidiosis are less likely to occur In early batched chicks since cold weather has an inhibiting effect on the de- velopment of coccidia oocysts. Rearing chicks in cold weather calls for a higher degree of effici- ency than would the rearing of late chicks;.. The extra expense is justi- fied and soon returned in the form of greater net profits. However proper use and care of equipment must be taken if the beet results are to be expected, The chief abuse in this respect is over- crbwding of the brooder house.

Many employers have told me that the workers who earn ,promotions are those who show initiative. Like- wise, among those who are "their own bosses", the self- starting type achieves great- est success. Take Fred, for instance. When he finishes a job, he doesn't wait for someone to tell him what to do next. He goes and asks for another as- signment. Or, if he already knows his routine, he plunges right in on the next job. Bert shows his initiative by developing improved work- ing methods, short cuts and new ideas for increasing busi- ness. Both are going places. And both set excellent examples for the man who wants to get ahead„ But 'of course there is no limit to the number of ways in which we can demonstrate initiative. Almost everything we do, even in small details, challenges our resourceful- ness. Look for the challenges in your job — do your best to meet them — and you'll fol- low in the footsteps of the men who've made their mark. • • • Thousands of families enjoy financial peace of mind to- day because life insurance agents first pointed out the advantages of owning life insurance. / extinguished as soon as possible. One or two ploughed furrows will stop a gross fire in most cases. It may be advisable to plow a fire- guard 10 to 15 feet wide around a woodiot if it is located on a well - travelled road. The practice of pasturing live- stock in the woodlot is very de- structive, The animals eat young seedlings of desirable species, thereby preventing reproduction of the woodlot. Seedlings. will be trampled and injured, and the an- imals' hooves will pack the soil down. This prevents free absorp- tion of rainfall and prevents the roots of the trees from getting necessary air. Tree roots will start to show above ground level; and may be damaged by trampling. This allows disease to attack the tree. It \has been proven by experi- ment that there is little pasture food to be found in a woodiot for livestock. Cattle will starve if pastured solely in the woods. Fencing around a woodiot is a ne- cessity to keep livestock out. If, however, shade is needed to pro- tect the stock from heat and flies, the fence can be erected a short distance inside the woodiot bor- der. Thus„ a narrow strip of bush is left as shelter for the cattle, but the whole woodiot is not sacrific- ed. According "to the Assessment act, woodiot not pastured can be exempted" from taxation, to the ex- tent of one acre in ten of the farm area, bit not more than twenty =t BACKACHE May beWarninq Backache :nay be a signal your kidneys are failing to filter excess acids and poison- ous wastes from the system.
