R. DesMAZES ABBOTSFORD AND WHATCOM RO AD Farmers 1913 Phone 16 CLAYBURN Motherwell Talks on Experimental Farms Hon. W R. Motherwell (Minister of Agriculture), said.'- In reading the discussions in Hansard number of for a years before I had the honour, to come before this House, I noticed there was always a long and interesting discussion surrounding the appropriation with respect to experimental farms. . Last year, it will be recalled that we had the same experience, and I.remember that there was a number of features around which the discussion centered. For instance, what was to be the future of our experimental farm system? . Had it_.any new objective? . -.Were, we going to establish any new experimental farms? There were a number of other questions of that nature. I think the discussion at this time might be facilitated and, perhaps, expedited if I, made a brief statement with respect to our objective as regards the future of these farms. Since the House prorogued 1 .jt summer, I took the opportuity cf visiting a large number of these institutions between here and the Pacific coast and also within the province of Quebec. Time would not permit my extending that visitation to the Maritime provinces but outside of that I visited nearly all rho experimental farms. The policy that I partially announced last year was, that before we spend very much more money in the establishment of new experimental farms, the government would be well advised to take cars of the existing farms. During the last eight years, four of them being the war period and four since, our experimental farms, of necessity, had more or less'to mark time. That was due to no one's fault; but as a matter of fact, while that is so, the very policy of standing still meant, in some respects, as regards some of the farms, a going back. No growing institution can stand still; it must either go forward or go back. Having regard to that fact and having visited many of the farms, I am more than over convinced that our policy should be to put the present twenty-two 'branches, including the central farm, in a state of good repair - and efficiency before we extend this ayBtem to a larger number of farms, particularly in view of the fact that we have not at our disposal sufficient money to do both at the same time. As regards, some of tho older farms concerning which there was a good deal of discussion last session, particularly with respect to those on the prairie and the initial four farms', that is the Nappan farm, the Brandon farm, the Indian Head farm and the Agassiz farm "in British Columbia, which four farms with the central farm constituted the original unit, some of these farms, as well as some additional ones, have largely exhausted their experimental work in connection with cultural methods. When I say largely, I do not menu entirely. For instance, the farms at Indian ��������� Head. and Brandon have pretty well demonstrated to those areas on the prairies just what kind of cultural methods are necessary to get the best results'. Forty years the prairies were a secret to ago, (Continued on Page Three) HOSPITAL IS ENTIRELY FREE OF DERT The annual meeting of the Matsqui Sumas-Abbotsford Hospital Society was held in the Masonic Hall on Monday evening with a splendid attendance. Retiring directors for 1923 included ,'Messrs T. E. Shone, G. F. Pratt and J. W. Winson. Messrs. A. McCallum, W. Coutts and T. Bennett were re-elected, H. Peck, T. F. Seldon and Mr. A. George were also elected In the place of those retired., Mr. Thomas' H. Ingram was ���������re-appointed as auditor of the - ensuing year. Hearty votes of thanks from the meeting were tendered the matron, Miss K. Campbell, and the hospital staff; the Board of Directors and'the secretary-treasurer."' The president of the Board, Mr. R. L. McCulloch thanked the W. A. of the hospital for their valuable assistance, and voiced the opinion that it would be difficultto carry on without the help given by the ladies. Mr. McCulloch said that the hospital was now free of debt, and was by far the largest effort of the community and a very valuable asset to tho entire district. The upkeep and running expenses of the institution can only be met by the continued effort of the citizens throughout the whole community. The government grant of liquor profits from Matsqui lias materially assisted financially; but through a new act now in force, the grant is no longer based on a population scale, but is sent direct to the hospital on a patient basis, the sum being 25 cents per hospital day. The gross income' from all sources in cash and kind was $30,573.77, the total expenditure $28,610.46. During the period from April, when the hospital was opened, until December 31st, the total number of days' treatment given was 1674; the per capita cost was $3.70 per day, the per capita income from patients was approximately $2.75 per day thus showing a direct loss of 95 cents per day, against which ia the capita grant, liquor profits and other sources of revenue. Since the opening of the hospital,. 162 patients have been admitted, of this. number 155 were discharged, 3 died, and four were carried over to January 1st, 1923. The work of laying out and beautifying the grounds surrounding the hospital, was left in the hands of the board, who will take immediate steps to have the necessary improvements done at an early date. It was also left to the directors to recompense the secretary-treasurer, Mr. T. Bennett, for his faithful services during the year. Mr. N. Hill, chairman of the management committee gave a pleasing report and spoke in the highest terms' of the hospital staff and the treatment given the patients. Representatives from various organizations on the hospital board include: government, F. J. R. Whitchelo, James Higginson; Matsqui Municipality, 'Mr. Mutch; W. A. of the Hospital; Mrs. H. Fraser, Mrs. R. H. Eby. Although invited to do so Sumas Municipality has not as yet appointed a director on the board. The weekly danco held every Saturday-evening is.'rapidly becoming very popular, the last one,being the best up to now. The) work of organizing these dances' has been largely in the hands of Mr. Sam Brown, to whom much thanks is due for his efforts; also to Mr. Harvey and Mr. Joffery who have giyen their kindly assistance. ; ,; The football games of the Fraser Valley League'are to'be resumed iG- day. Clayburn will play at Langlcy, and Fernridge at Mission, games to start at' 3:30 p. ra.'- Should' this game be a win or draw for Clayburn they will he entitled to the League Cup, and should they; lose the game.' they have yet to play Mission for a ti������. The Clayburn Athletic Association, are planning ' another of their popular concerts for' March "10th, when a first class play entitled "0.\, Susannah!" will be played at Clayburn by the ' Ridgedale Dramatic Society. Trout season opened on' Tuesday and the usual tourist with hook and line is visiting the district. HOSPITAL IS A VERY VALUABLE ASSET That the Matsqui-Sumas-Abbots- ford Hospital is meeting .with success as an institution "was plainly evidenced by the general. report published and.given^at-the annual meeting of the society-last^-Monday- evening. The hospital has a capacity of- fifteen beds and patients are admitted from all districts, providing always that they be attended by a B. C. Medical practitioner. The appeals' from time to tinie to the public for donations and assistance for the rospital has been met with generosity, which is gracefully acknowledged by the management and directors, who trust that this kindness' will be continued. Patients treated since the opening of the hospital last April from the various districts include, Matsqui Municipality, 76; Sumas Municipality, 26; -Lang- ley Municipality, 13; Surrey Municipality, 3; Abbotsford; 35; Chilliwack, 1 ; Vancouver, 3; Maple Falls, Wash., (Cultus' Lake) 5. By the payment of $100.00 or more, persons or associations become life members of the hospital association. Ridgedale News In spite of the condition of the roads and other counter-attractions a large crowd attended the whist drive and dance at Ridgedale Hall, on Friday, February 23rd. Mrs. Rottluff, Miss Farr and Miss Smith were responsible for the. success of .the evening.

There was a somewhat small attendance, but all were very interested and enthusiastic. On Wednesday evening the Community Association held their "Hard Times" dance, and in spite of the bad condition of the roads tnere was a good crowd. A very enjoyable time was spent, music being supplied by the Good Times Orchestra. Prizes were won for costumes by: lady's, Mrs. Dan Coombs (an entire gunny- sack costume); gent's, Mr. Brown Clearbrook( dressed as a hard times tramp). Financially the evening was not a great success as unnecessary expenses had to be met on account of postponing the dance when the severe weather prevailed. On Friday evening next the regular monthly community meeting will be held in the hall. This will be followed by a lecturer on the raising and marketing of sraalL fruits, by Mr. H. C. Green on market gardening. ABBOTSFORD DEFEATS MISSION AT BASKET HALT; Many people are interested in the associated news service supplied by W. J. Gray.

J. A. BATES, Editor and Proprietor FRIDAY,'MARCH 2, 1923". Ex-Attorncy-General Farris certainly gave the new provincial party ���������an awful slam at Nanaimo last week when ho called it., tlie "Gold Braid Party of Shaughnessy Heights." At .first ono would say that it was just a sarcastic remark, but on thinking it over and going carefully into the matter it will be found' most probably a nail in the coffin of B. C.'S third parly. It conveys a lot does it. not? It creates a feeling that one must investigate the reason for stigmatizing tho now party with such, a name. "Gold Braid," why the name? What do the Heights tell an ordinary voter of B. C? With Shaughnessy bo- fore "Heights" there is no mistaking what Mr. Farris meant. What 'effect will it have on the ordinary everyday voter of the city of Vancouver, who is'struggling for a meagr-2 existence? Premier Oliver returns to B. C. all tuckered out from his' trip to the east. The question now is what policy will he adopt in regard to the freight rates and the treatment he has received. The daily papers announce that he was talking about having the province separate from tlie rest of the Dominion���������that is, breaking away ��������� from Confederation. AVe do not think that Premier Oliver ���������has any such idea,-as' he does not be-; lievc the people of B.- C. would for a moment entertain it. It is the- one thing to fight for better terms and better freight rates and another thing to say we want to go back to the days when B. C. was a Crown Colony. He may have hinted it during the heat of an argument, but "if he has said anything of the kind, it surely is not his can_id convictioh'of the proper method of retaliation.

ARK NEWS PAPERS UNRELIABLE' REDISTRIBUTION The proposal that under redistribution there should.be a readjustment between the ridings of Coiribx- Alberni and Nanaimo is not one that, will find any substantial favor on Vancouver Island. It will, we believe; be particularly objectionable to the people of Comox-Albenii rid- cing. That area is a large ono, is composed of scattered settlements, and, while it is possible a better political division of the Island might be made for- electoral purposes, any methods so far proposed have not. met with favor. Vancouver Island, on the basis of its' present, population, is entitled to three members. We can hope to gain no addition through redistribution. The member to be added to the representation for British Columbia logically belongs to the Vancouver area,- where tlie greatest increase in population has taken place. ; ' As matters stand on the "Island there is satisfaction with 'the -present delimitation of electoral, boundaries"; and; we see no gain-that can be effected by any readjustment as as between the Comox-Alberni and the Nanaimo ridings. This is a matter of leaving well enough alone. Party-politics may see wisdom in' a change, but so long as the pecplr* are satisfied cwith their representation the political boundaries' of the -voting areas should be left undisturbed. By the time of the next census, when it is hoped there will be a substantial growth in the papulation of Vancouver Island, it-will be time enough to consider a readjustment in the boundaries of the ridings in view Of the added representation which we my expect In the Federal Parliament.���������-Colonist.

Clarke Editor, Tlie San Francisco Chronicle: It's time for the newspaper worm co turn. Every so often some soIE- rightoous individual with an ingrowing disDOSition rears back on his hind legs and emits' a doleful howl anent tho unreliability of the press. Inadvertent publication of any news story not strictly 6onformin._ to' the facts invariably is the signal for a sweeping condemnation often by those who know better. In virtually every big city of the country men and women of more or less standing in the community are prone to assume a smug air of wisdom and to assert with conviction: "You can't believe a word you read in the newspapers." It has come to be quite tho common thing with these volunteer critics .not only to discharge the press in so far as concerns authenticity of its news, but likewise to impugn tho motives of newspaper managements-. - The most charitable thing they find to say concerning the character of newspaper writers In general is: "Oh, well; you can't blame the reports so much, they have to write what they're told by the men in charge." If statements of this sort "came from ignorant people and reflected only the attitude of the uninformed it would be folly to take cognizance of them. Unfortunately this' is not the caso. Bankers lawyers, brokers, merchants, railroad officials, politicians, society women, ministers of the gospel, steamboat officials, and others who pride themselves on their probity and personal integrity, too fre- quenly do not hesitate .to' lie incoii- ���������Linently to the newspapers. A rumor reaches a newspaper office to the effect that a bank merger is to be consummated. A reporter :s' sent to ascertain the facts. Does the bank president admit the truth of the rumor but ask that, for business reasons, the matter be not made public for a few days? Pie does not. Te tells the reporter there is no truth in the rumor. "A few days later the deal goes through and--the newspaper knows' the bank president lied. A public official grants an interview in which he make's certain statements. The next day political or other pressure is brought to bear. Does he come 'out in the open aud admit his mistake or his change' of heart? He does not. He promptly: repudiates the interview.-of.; .the'.day' before and���������the reporter knows he lied:. '��������� ���������;"..- A society matron's daughter becomes engaged to a prominent man, but the family is not ready to make the announcement. Does the society matron tell the truth and ask that the matter be kept quiet for a few. days'. She does not! She.,pretend_ surprise and denies there is any foundation for the rumor. The following week the announcement is made and���������-the society editor knows ���������the women has prevaricated. , So it goes on down the line. People who would not think of deceiv-; ing business associates, people who would scorn to resort to untruth or subterfuge in ordinary affairs, men and women whose word -literally is as good as their bond in financial matters-���������these are the people for the most part, who have no compunction of conscience about deliberately lying to -a newspaper: representative. ..'.���������'������������������'..- The remarkable feature of the situation is that the very persons who so carelessly handle"* the truth when talking to a newspaper representative are the first to raise a howl over the unreliability and inaccuracy of the press. Every newspaper reporter in the country knows his job is not worth two cents if he is detected intential- ly misrepresenting .facts'-or misquoting what lias been do Id to him. His job is to tell the'truth.of what he sees and hears and in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred he can be depended upon to get things straight and to write exactly what has been to him. sufior firs' 'losses to build' fire statics' and supply the equipment, or those who aro held up,- beaten and robbed, to maintain the police department. Unlike any other cutar- prise, a hospital has to take the risk of making a bad debt. It cannot throw, the sick out on the street when his money is' exhausted. Every self-supporting man and woman in the community should contribute his or her share towards the maintenance of the hospital, not only as a public duty, but because' some day one or another of them-will require treatment within its walls. If they do not require it, they are that much bettor off than those who do. The trend of'present day thought ���������is towards the concentration of hospitals, wherever practicable, and thoir full and complete'' ownership by the" community which they seek to serve. Concentration means more economical , management, ' better equipment and service,. while public ownership on the other hand implies, and cannot fail to realize, a more complete fulfillment of the high and noble mission of the hospital, the care and cure of those fortunate enough to come within the scope of its usefulness. ������S!&mxs^tiS!gseS!tast^sanazsBaa3SMsmesssiaaBBe������ ���������:"***��������� SAPIROGRAMS Long "dis tance telephone service -'will 'con- tact you wilh-any desired City.within hundreds of miles.

This, in a measure, is due to the fact that so few hospitals have really taken the public into their confidence. The practise of requiring those who are sick and use tho hospital to pay for the hospital building and equipment is wrong. It would be just as reasonable to require only those who The fault of many young athletes in that they fall for the applause from the gallery. This is perhaps one of the biggest temptations a young athlete of promise has to face. It is a fatal error. History is full of stories of men in all walks of life, who fell before the applause of the fickle crpwd. A ; striking modern illustration-': of the folly of "playing r to the gallery" is found in Babe Ruth. Once ..the idol"-of'the. fans, he allowed the clamor of the crowd to over-rule his reason, with the result that they turned upon him and mocked. The lad who plays to the gallery plays for himself and, for his own aggrandizement. The result is, no matter how' skilful a player he may be, ho loses 'all value to his team." Team play is'the'secret of success in any game. Play for the team and in serving the team you will profit most. Ignore the advice flung from the -bleachers and gallery. Listen only to your captain and manager; They know- what the public does not know, the endurance, skill and peculiarities of each player, and also the team's plan of attack. Caring; for Bruises. Watch your signals. Never b<; so absorbed in the comments of the spectators as to miss a signal. To do so is an unpardonable sin, and if repeated ���������'will result In a permanent; seat- on the bench. Caring for Bruises A final word upon everyday matters'. Beware of bruises. Accidents will occur in the most carefully conducted games. Never be fooled and ignore these hurts. A simple bruise from a fall on a dirty floor may cause considerable and serious harm if ignored. The simple preventative which should be handy in every gymnasium and at. every game is iodino. When you notice a lump develop in tlie groin, or under the arm, look for a wound on the leg or foot, or arm or hand. Mother Nature is issuing a warning through the. glands that there is poisoning, and you have an infected sore requiring attention. Knowledge of First Aid Every athlete should have a thorough knowledge of first aid. This is a valuable education to anyone but doubly so to the athlete who, at any moment, is liable to come into contact with injuries requiring skilful attention. Many a simple fracture has become a serious wound with ignorant handling. Many an . athlete could have been spared much pain had STUART MOTORS Chevrolet and Nash Agents Mission City, B. C. I ease his playing comrades had a knowledge of first aid, where an accident happened on the. field. Lastly, don't smoke or drink. Eat lightly before important games. Candies will never help you to win games. Keep your teeth clean. Poor teeth mean a'poor digestion, and no athlete can play his best if he is in poor health. ��������� Again, play the game for sport, and when playing, play the game.��������� Herbert Fiddes' (Director, Kamloops Junior Brotherhood).

We have blundered on from year to year until many of us have found out something, about that great country. The experiments and experience of individuals plus, the experiments and experience of those experimental farms have blazed the way towards tho reasonably good cultural methods. So, to-day, in the light of present conditions, i������i the light of world demand for high class products, ������espoc- ially live stock products, it is well at this time to extend, the activities of those, farms more than even' before in the direction of. live stock production. In the history of Canadian agriculture, there was never a time when, the export demand for livestock products was' more difficult and hard to please than it is at tho present time. We are competing with highly, developed and specialized countries in the production of practically: all our meat..and dairy products. There is one staple article upon which I think Canada has the edge upon the rest of the world, and that is the production of hard wheat. That wo get by nature, duo to v.c particular ability on the part of our-- solves,, but to the soil and climatic conditions of tho West. With respect, however to live stock and live stock products, we have to competcv.wilh specialized countries such as Don- mark, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Argentina and other countries. Consequently, at this' time,, the activities of, especially, the older experimental farms should be extended in the direction of more attention to live stock..- I think the time has come when we should make these farms largely livestock breeding do- pots, so that the adjoining territory may be more conveniently, supplied with breeding stock from those centres. Possibly, at times, one might be able to. establish regular sales of live stock" at those centres to which breeders' could come in order to secure their requirements. In visiting, the farms in British Columbia, I found, of course, an entirely different condition of affairs. While they are- interested in livestock, they are primarily interested in dairying, poultry raising and fruit growing. I did not visit the.farm at Invermere,. although it was my intention to do so. It is not very easy to get at, and a good deal of time ,is required, to give it the. attention it should receive:. Possibly, at some subsequent date I may be able to visit that .farm. But I visited the farm at Summerland. on Okanagan lake, and there I found the question of irrigation was one of the uppermost problems'. They had difficulty in regard to the supply or. water. They were "endeavouring to irrigate without, the necessary available supply of water, and that question confronted, not only the experimental farm, but many private farms..throughout that district. Then there were the questions' of fruit, growing, of cover crop, of extending the, area to be devoted to farming, of what manurial agency should be supplied to the land there, of raising the.necessary livestock. I found that one of the problems, a problem which may sound strange to prairie farmers, was to get the necessary quantity of straw to supply bedding to their livestosk, two carloads of which they usually fattened .during the winter months.. Straw cost them from, sixteen dollars a ton laid down at Summerland, and to buy manure from the livestock yards at .Calgary would cost them six or seven dollars a ton, so there they w'ere,confronted with the difficulty of growing livestock on an experimental farm in that irrigation area. Notwithstanding that, however, they have found it profitable to fatten livestock every winter. Even; at the expense of./buying dear straw-, they found that more economical than not to have-any .livestock and have to buy manure from the stock-yards at Calgary. Going further to the West, visiting one of the old initial farms, the Agassiz farm, we found conditions there, from an artistic and a, horticultural standpoint, particularly interesting. It was like an old-established farm in some of the more beautiful parts in old England. The shrubbery and trees resembled the old country plantations because op their variety and luxuriance. We found that dairying and poultry raising were given exceptional attention there, and I ran across tho cow that subsequently proved to be the world-beater in the matter of producing butter fat. This particular Holstein cow was' about half way through her twelve months' period of test, and at that time, while not making a record with respect to milk production, she promised ',6 be a record maker and breaker with respect to butter fat. The end -if the twelve months' period with res pect to that cow showed a test for the twelve months of 1345 pounds of butter fat, which is equivalent to 1683 pounds of butter. This is the largest amount, of butter fat and butter produced by any single cow we. know of in the entire world. .This shows what British Columbia can do in dairying because it would bo impossible for any cow to make such a favourable record if the natural conditions were not. propitious. Last year ,1 tentatively intimated that 1 should like to carry ,out whai seemed to. be the policy of my predecessor in regard to the location of an experimental farm on the Canadian National lino some where-between Prince Rupert and Fort George. AVe found a number oi localities suitable for such institutions'; and in my opinion, when that part of the country is supplied in this respect, it should really have two farms to meet- the situation. However, there, may he a difference^ of opinion with regard to that. ..After, returning to Ottawa an.l getting down to preparation of these estimates, however, I found thai for another year or two wo should have to abandoning the prospect of* establishing a new farm in that district. MASH WILL NOT INCREASE PRODUCTION OF EGGS B. O. CHAPTER ELECTS OFFICERS FOR YEAR NEW CO-OPERATIVE UNION IN OKANAGAN Lately the theory has been advanced that yea3t, because it was . high in vitamincs, might prove particularly helpful in feeding laying hens to increase egg production. With a viow of testing out this' theory,; u number of experiments in which yeast was fed were carried out.' ,'ln the first experiment, the yeast was dissolved in warm water, -added to the mash and allow.ed.to stand for ���������24 hours in order to allow; the full effect of the yeast to become absorbed by the mash. " _*6r a while the hens ate ,this mixture fairly freely, and a slight increase in egg production was noticed But apparently the birds soon tired of it. and^grad- ually refused to" cat. Later this was; followed by. a decrease in egg production and the morality in , the pons was noticeable higher than in the ones not receiving the. yeast. However it ;is thought that .the increased morality. was due ��������� primarily to-changes occurring in. the. mash r while it was held for 24 hours', -previous to feeding rather to the .yeast itself. ���������"'���������' -'"' ' '" -. The moist mixture -was eventual; ���������ly discontinued "and the pens, put oil a. dry mash ration which, contained' one per cent, of fresh yeast. The condition of the flocks improved, materially with this change and the birdo soon resumed their normal, appearance, with fair egg production. How- ���������ever, the. production was.no higher than in.the check pens which were' not receiving yeast. After continuing this. for. Ytwo -months .the amount of yeast, given was increased to three per .cent. This 'was' ground up, air and sun dried and added to the dry mash, in which 'condition it will keep for several weeks' without deterioration. The fresh yeast, when dried, only- gives about one-third of.-- its- fresh weight so that in feeding , three pounds of fresh product only about 11-4 pounds of dry pulverized yeast were added to the mash. No increased production due to the high 'er yeast content of the mash was secured. The work of feeding yeast...was not conducted on a very extensiv-3 scale and the tests were not of sufficient duration to thoroughly, determine the .value of adding. it to th *��������� mash. The results however, were very unpromising, and it WQuld, appear that, unless some' change was made in feeding the yeast, it was not of much value as food for laying hens. EARLY MORNING BEST.

DAIRYING A WORLlTlNDUSTRY The international character of the dairy industry is responsible for tho organization of the. World's Dairy. Congress Association. Under the auspices of this body and of the government of- the United States a World's' Dairy Congress has been arranged to be held in Washington' from October 2 to 5 this year. The vast extent of the dairy industry and its international status are recognized-by those responsible for the congress.. Scientists, health ��������� officials,; government officials, eocial welfare workers, and producers, manufacturers, "and distributors of milk and milk products will contribute to the discussions. These will relate to VERNON, B. c., Feb. 22.���������Every, grower in- the Lavington district,' one of the large fruit sections about, ten miles from Vernon, signed five-' year contracts in.a new co-operative organization on Saturday. Canvas-' sers are now visiting every orchard- ist in B. X. and Coldstream sections. Reports show that enthusiastic support is being given to the new organization. _____ ' The co-operative, spirit has certainly caught on in the Okanagan and other interior fruit districts'. Ev-". erywhere the fruit men are this week carrying on: most active con-", tract-signing campaigns in their, different districts. '��������� ' The B. C. Tomato Growers' Association, which will work with the big organization, has signed up practically 100 per cent, of the tomato growers in the Kelowna, Summer---' land, Oliver and Keremeos 'districts. Similiar campaigns are being carried on by the vegetable men in every district where onions, celery and tomatoes and other root crops are grown in commercial quantities. The poultrymen of the valley are also on the job, getting every farmr er of fruit-grower who markets eggs in large quantities into., a co-operative association, with a view to dis"? posing of the valley output through- one channel. An organization meet;* ing is to be held here this week.. The results of all the different campaigns will be known by the end of ithe week. AN HONEST MAN A preacher near.Bloomsburg.grew fervent in exhorting to an honest living and near the close of his sermon he said: "Let every person in the house who is paying his or her debts stand up." Instantly every man and woman in the house, save one, was standing. After they were peacefully seated, the dominie asked, "Now let those stand up who are not paying their debts," and a long lean man of sixty or more years, clothed in a seedy suit,of. tho past decade, slowly assumed a perpendicular position in his pew. "How is it my. friend," enquired the minister in an austere tone, "that you are the only one in this intelligent congregation who does not meet his obligations?"

Early morning is .the most suitable time, to,put eggs into the incu- 'iator, according to Mr. Chas. Good, provincial poultry instructor for the Lower Mainland.

This:plan also works out well In the .turning of the eggs, as' about 7 a. m. and again twelve hours late-- are found .to be the favorite times for this latter operation.

THREE MAIN CAUSES OF A POOR HATCH Some, strange queries come, into a newspaper information bureau, and the answers are not always easy but one the funniest was this: 'Say, is this The Evening Times' information bureau?" inquired a voice at the other end of the wire. "It is," politely answered the reporter. "Anything, we can do for you?" "Well, I want to know who was it killed Abel?" "Why, his brother Cain," answered the reporter, who had once attended Sunday, school before he broke into the newspaper business. "Oh; pshaw," came regretfully from the inquiring, voice. "I'll bet I'll have to go without a new overcoat this' winter; I bet a fellow $20.00 that it was Goliath. Thanks PROVINCIAL PRESS Farmers from Missouri. When farmers complain of' hard times, they are sometimes asked to look at the'official figures which show an increase in the value of their products. These figures, however, are not very convincing, for they are in dollars and the dollar is not worth as much as it used to be. To be convinced of his prosperity, the farmer must be shown that with his products' he can buy as much in boots and shoes, dry goods and groceries, etc., as lie formerly" could��������� and nobody is" showing him figures of this kind at the present moment: ���������Greenwood Ledge. in -it - . ��������� r i- -* in "How to get fat" says an advertisement. That's easy. The real trouble is to get the butcher to give you some lean. The Spokane Review sprung this in a recent issue: ' Four and twenty Yankees, Very, very dry, Journeyed up to Canada To get a case of rye. When, the rye was opened, They all began to sing, Who in hell is Harding? . God Save the King! When a poor hatch is experienced the cause generally can be traced to the breeding stock, the method of keeping eggs prior to putting them in the incubator, or else to the machine itself. The chicks that are rate ed from a poor.hatch usually must be watched with the greatest. care if they are to be brought to matur ity. On the other hand, if the fertility and hatchability both, are good no fears need be entertained over the birds that are hatched. One teaspoonful of good arable soil contains more living organisms than there are human beings in "the .whole United Kingdom. This Paper will accept $1.00 cash for two years' subscription.
