Ac- cording to the local manager, Mr. W. E. Turney, the old switchboard that has been in use for many years will be shipped to China to a mission- ary for their own use in telephone work. Its usefulness for many more years is thys ensured. SKIM MILK OR MEAT FOR WINTER EGGS We can't understand these bank robbers. Haven't they been reading those articles telling what a terrible place Kingston Penitentiary is? A despatch in the dailies from Sault Ste. Marie tells of a ram giv- ing a wolf that was killing a sh<?ep such a head-on charge that the wolf's skull was fractured. The report did not say whether or not the ram had a pedigree but any sheep valuator woula be justified in valuing that ram at more that $15 if any dog was power- ful oTiough to worry that old Wolf killer. In order that a poultryman may get every cent of profit comlriig to him, he must avail himself of all the means at his disposal to produce cheaply. For instance when whole milk is sold anywhere from 60 cents to a dollar a hundred pounds, skim-milk IJas little value, yet if it is fed to poultry it will bring fair returns. II skim-milk were used instead of beef- scraps as a source of animal feed, poultrymen would cut down on their feed bill and their cost of egg pro- duction at the same time. An experiment conducted at the Dominion Experimental Station, Cap Rouge, Que., for five seasons proved rather conclusively that the lot of birds receiving skim-milk laid more eggs and gained more weight than the one which was fed beef scrap, other feeds being the same. Skim-milk should always be fed sweet or always sour so as to avoid bowel troubles. Where skim-milk is not available beefscrap will have to be resorted to but the cost of prO' duction will be higher. No poultry- man or farmer keeping hens can af- ford these days to feed expensive animal feeds when they can use skim milk at greater advantage. Let us make a better use of the products which are at our disposal. An old trapper says that skunks are getting very fat at present, and he regards that as a sign of a long winter. Sort of a long pull and a strong pull. Local and Personal «UB STOBB OBTICa F. T. HILL&CO.,Ltd.
