This problem faces many poultrymen particularly those with recently hous- ed pullet flocks. It is also typical of flocks that have been allowed to stay out on i-ange for some time af- tez- laying has started and that have not yet got into the habit of going into the nests. In addition to providing at least one nest to every five layers, it is a good plan to darken the nests so that each layer will have some privacy when she lays. When floor laying develops, some poultrymen spend con- siderable time in their pens and place in a nest each pullet that is seen squatting in a corner by herself. This helps to form the habit of going into the nests. It is ?. rather labor- ious procedure however, and is not to be advised except as a final resort. If sufficient comfortable nests are provided and the birds do not use them it is a good plan to place the nests on the floor until the birds get the habit of using them, after which they may be placed in their regular position. Too little beef on too many legs has been one big trouble with the Canadian cattle industry is the judg- ment of lA. M. Shaw, Ottawa, director of markets for the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. Thm-e has been insufficient grain fed to Canadian cattle to provide "a reasonable level of beef quality or a sufficient regular supply of grain- finished cattle to meet the best de- mands of the domestic and expout trade,'' Mr. Shaw said in a paper prepared for delivery before the Prairie Markets Conference held last week. He informed the conference, study- ing the lack of markets for Western farm produce, that a great deal more grain could be consumed by fewer cattle to the advantage of the indust- ry. An increase in cattle numbers was not altogether desirable and cer- tainly not necessary to a substantial increase in grain consumption he said. GIVEN $50^0 FINE A retail and wholesale vendor of creamery butter in 'Windsor, Ontario, was recently fined fSO.OO and costs for having in his possession for sale creamery butter in prints that were not correctly marked as to the grade of the product. The wrappers were marked '-First Grade" but the actual quality of the butter was "Second Grade" as determined by the stand- ards provided by regula/tions under the Dairy Industry Act. It is the responsibility of all those vending creamery butter to consumers in Ontario to have the butter marked to indicate the correct grade of the product in accordance with grrade standards provided under the regula- tions. The terms used are "First Grade" "Second Grade" "Third Grade" and ''Below Third Grade." The designation of grade must be placed conspicuously on the main pan- el of the package in order that con- sumers may readily see the particular grade offered for sale. In the case referred to, the quality of the butter offered as "First Grade" was distinctly "Second Grade," having a stale or old flavor and also being streaky in color. "First Grade" but- ter is always clean and sound in fla- vor, and the color even or true throughout the package. A staff of trained men is maintained by the Dominion Department of Agriculture at Ottawa whose duty it is to check constantly the quality of creamery print butter offered for sale in the wholesale and retail trade, and to see that the grade terms used on the packages agree with the quality or grade of butter therein. DOESN'T IT PAY Occaslionally some one gives us this line: "Advertising doesn't pay. It takes all the profits of the sales to pay for it. Everybody knows where our store is and if you satisfy people they will tell others and that in the best advertisement of all." That has been said so often to ad- vertising salesmen all over the world that it has become commonplace to them. But the facts are far differ- ent. Every product known widely and sold widely today is advertised all the time. On the other hand ev- ery product which formerly sold in large volume gradually decreased in sales after its promoter ceased to advertise it. For example, take the sale of citrus fruit in Califoraia and Florida. We read today that in 1908 the crops were very large. The orange growers faced bankruptcy. An advertising campaign was start- ed and the sales were doubled. In the thirty year period consumption of oranges has increased from thirty- one per capita to seventy-nine per capita. The public has been edu- cated to drink oranges as well as to eat them, to make them an indis- pensable part of salads and other appetizers, to use them in desserts. Citrus fruits and healthy diets have become synonj'mous. Advertising did it. â€" Picton Gazette. rORONTO LINE NORTH A Happy and Prosperous New Year to Ye Editor, staff and readers.

PRICEVILLE The recent concerts at the school and St. Columba Church were well worth attending as the scholars took their parts exceptionally well. The program at the school consisted of a play, songs and two bagpipe selections by Miss Anna McVicar. At the con- cert at the church presents were giv- en to prominent workers in the church in recognition of their help. Santa Claus also visited the children. Mr. Farquhar McKinnon, caretaker of the Presbyterian church, had the misfortune to break his leg in a fall on the stairs while carrying a table. He lay for some time until his daugh- ter, Mary, came to see what was keep- ing him from supper. Mr. L. McArthur is keeping in about the same health. A sad event occurred in North Eg- remont when Mr. Alex. Renwick was found dead lying beside a tree which he was cutting, the axe still being sunk in the tree. A neighbor seeing the driverless team coming into his farm took them back to the bush and found their owner dead. There are a lot of "Yes-Men" in Canada but there is also an army of "Yes-Girls" waiting for the eligible suitor to come along. A Scotchman was cryng because he had lost his finger in a buzz saw accident. Helper: "What's the matter?" Scotty: "I cant find my finger." Helper: "I'll find it for you." He put his hand in his pocket and took out a coin. When he held it over the pile of sawdust the Scotchman's finger reached out to take it. Live Stock Report (By Dunn & LevacK.

Jim Hunter Has Broadcasted 4500 Times 'When on November 25th you heard "Good Friday Evening" coming from station CFRB, it was a record in radio broadcasting that fiad been established. For on that evening Jim Hunter, Radio Editor and Talking Reporter of the Evening Telegram, gave his 4,500th newscast. Except during his vacation weeks he has been on the job morning and evening since Feb- ruai-y 28th, 1932, and has won for himself the largest following of any newscaster in the country. Jim was born in Aberdeen, Scot- land, and came to Canada at the age of five. Today he is thirty-seven, wears glasses and carries his weight of one hundred and seventy pounds in genial fashion. Listeners have frequently commented on the impres- sive, terseness of his delivery. The delivery is his own but the terseness is probably inherited from his famous great gi'eat ^grandfather, the late Samuel Hunter, the soldier-surgeon, editor of the Glasgow Herald, which celebrated its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary five years ago. Old Samuel was the editor of that illustrious publication from 1803 to 1835, just in that period when such world-shaking events as the Battles of Trafalgar and Waterloo took place, but when there was nothing doing Samuel said so and didn't try to cook things up. For example, on Friday, March 30th, 1832, Samuel said, ''The foreign news is quite uninteresting, the great points being still in un- certainty. The story about Naples in our last edition turned out to be quite insignificant." There is much of that same clipped imgamished, straight-from-the-shoul- der style in Jim Hunter. He gives the news and if the news is uninter- esting he gives items that bring a smile because they are humorous and quite human. He prefers world news and those humorous little items best, and he is not scared of Chinese and German words. French words, however, have him somewhat baffled. He never got more than seventeen out of one hund- red for French in school, and he is confident now that his pronunciation is such that it would get even less. The biggest story he ever handled over the air was the Moose River Mine disaster. Throughout the days and nights he kept to the microphone, infoiTning anxious thousands of every step and every development towards rescuing the trapped men. On other occasions when a steamer from Fort William to CoUingwood encountered trouble, Jim obtained special sailing directions from the meteorological office and passed it by special broadcast to the ship. Jim also was of service to the crew of the steamer Cheyenne, as she lay in Sault Ste. Marie locks. His in- formation not to enter the lake saved the ship from meeting a heavy storm. The passing years have not tapped the vigor of his voice, and to-night when he signs off with "so ladies and gentlemen, good-evening and thank you" it will only be to snatch a few hours of sleep before rising again to prepare another broadcast. ^l^^l^^l^^l^^lJ^^^MJiJMMM^M^^^K^^^^MMM^MS^^^^^^M^M^^^^^^^^^^^^ t I Appreciation t t t t t t As this year draws to a close we look back with {Pleasure on the business associations we have enjoyed during 1938.

Duncan Hardware FLESHERTON, Ontario CUTTING FUEL WOOD ON THE HOME FARM G. Howard Ferguson says he is against mugwump parties. A mug- wump, if we remember rightly, is one who sits on a political fence with his mug on one side and his wump on the other. Safety Slides To Be Shown By Department of Highways If you are a sloppy or a smart- Aleck driver, a dreamy jay walker, a non believer in highway and traf- fic signs, or an erratic bicyclist, you are now in the movies or at least your prototype is. Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Ontario's Minister of Highways, today an- nounced that a series of movie pic- ture "shorts" demonstrating the good and bad in motoring, cycling and in walking will soon be released. There will be six films in the ser- ies, "Jay Walkers", ,'Signs and Pass- words", To-morrow's Rulers", "Right or Wrong" "Holiday Drivers" and '•Beware the Bikes". The two minute films will be shown in every one of Ontario's 225 movie theatres over a period of six months. According to Mr. McQues- ten, the first picture in the series, "Jay 'Walkers", will be released this week and during December will ap- pear in nearly every moving picture house throughout the province. Provincial police officers were used throughout the filming of the shorts to drive the automobiles which par- ticipated in the staged episodes of good and bad conduct illustrated in the films. This was done, the high- way minister commented, because no one knows better how to drive a car badly than a motorcycle officer, be- cause he sees it happen every day. Highway officers, Mr. McQuesten pointed out are stationed on the road not to trap unwary drivers but to make the highways safe. The officer who has the fewest twcidents on his beat, he said, is far more important to the province than the officer who can hand out the most tickets. When the films have been shown in all American theatres, it was stat- ed, the.v will be available for use by schools, service clubs and other in- terested organizations. The late fall and early winter sea- son is ideal for the cutting of fuel- wood. The weather is cool but not too cold. There is little snow on the ground and this facilitates walking and working in the woods. Fallen trees and branches can be picked up and piled. The question of what trees to cut should be given careful consideration, and if the owner is not doing the work he should mark the trees to be cut. Some woodlot owners make a practice of blazing the trees to be removed before the leaves fall as it is much easier to pick out the trees that are dead and dying than when the leaves are off. The value of the woodlot 20 â€" 50 years hence will de- pend largely on the method and care that is taken now. The cutting of the fuelwood may be utilized as a means of improving growing condi- tions. In many cases the woodlot may be left in better condition for future growth because all trees, even if partially decayed, may be utilized for fuel. Examples 1. Thin a 20-acre second growth stand rather than clear out a small area each year. The result of this management will be a much more valuable property 25 â€" 50 years hence. If the stand is of valuable species such as pine, white ash and sugar maple, the timber would be worth S2.000 â€" 13,000 while if it had been clear cut the value would have been only a few hundi'ed dollars. The crooked, defective wood and dead trees would be removed while the healthy, straight ones would be left to grow into valuable timber. 2. Cut decayed trees rather than sound, healthy ones. In many cases more wood is decaying on a tree each year than is being produced. In other words, the tree is decreas- ing in value. 3. Select large matiu-e trees rather than healthy medium trees four to fifteen inches in diameter which are vigorous and will put on more growth usually than the larger sized trees. By following this practice an owner will approach the ideal which is to grow the maximum of valuable wood per acre. 4. Remove ti"ees that are interfer- ing with and holding back saplings and young trees that have started beneath them. 5. Do not cut valuable timber into fuelwood. Uurges G>nservation Policy With a view to stopping the indis- criminate cutting of woodlots, the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce has passed the following resolution for submission to the Ontario government. "That the Norfolk Chamber of Com- merce petition the Ontario Legisla- ture to enact legislation covering a definite county forestation and con- servation policy for Ontario. That this policy include such clauses as to prevent wasteful cutting of immature timber, creating fire hazards, blow sand and erosion conditions. That the provisions of such an act come into Itffect in only those counties which by resolution of the County Council wish to accept it. That pro- vision be made for the appointment of a County Forester who will, under the supervision of the Reforestation Committee of the County Council, en- force the act." On Sunday, November 20th, Queen Maud of Norway passed away lin London, England. She was the aunt of Kiing George VI and the only surviving member of the family of King Edward VII. She was a fre- quent visitor to England. .A. New York man won an award of $117 for damages because he had to stand in a train for two and a half hours, being unable to find a seat. Decision was that buying a ticket entitled him to a seat. Gett- ing $117 for standing a couple of hours is making a good start on the day's work.
