And the reason for this is the low rate of mortality which actual exper- ience under practical farm conditions shows. The first three weeks is the crucial period in the life of a chick. It is during this period that most losses from disease or other causes occur, The mortality rate for approved chicks under farm cgnditions aver- aged 9.5 per hundred" last year. This represented a straight saving over the average loss in chicks from most non-approved sources of 25 in cvery hundred. . The low mortality rate in approved chicks is made possible through a well organized system of selection. Only mature birds of apparent strength, vigor or vitality and size, and cssen- tially true to breed type, are used in the approved flocks which supply the eggs, for approved hatcheries. The eggs used must be clean, nor- mal in size, and shape of shell, and must weigh 23 ounces to the dozen or more. Only such chicks as are normally hatched, conform to a certain min- imum weight, and show evidence of good health and vigor, may be sold as "approved chicks." : The whole policy of Hatchery Ap- proval operates under strict govern. ment snpervision along carefully thought out and sound lines, The ap- proved chicks bears the stamp of gov ernment approval. Inspection and supervision is carried out by field staff of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. Applied to the estimated national requirement for 1931 the potential saving under Hatchery Approval is 000. This is one of the most significant and important develop- ments in recent years in the poultry industry. Baby chicks produced un- der government approval are going to help Canadian farmers and poultry- men by practical and substantial cash savings. LARGE STOGKS OF WHEAT WILL YET TURN INTO CASH Improvement in buying power in certain areas in the West due to the availability of large stocks of wheat held over from the 1930 crop, has al- ready begun 'to make itself felt, ac- cording to special information collect- ed for The Tinancial Post. E Several factors have been working toward an improvement in certain specified Western areas during the late winter and spring months of 1931. The period of improvement in these areas appears to have begun, The two factors of importance are the larger than normal quantities of wheat being held back on farms in some areas and the expected heavy increases in hog production, Of the two factors and the market- ng of the wheat stocks will provide the most immediate extra revenue to the farmers concerned. On the basis of a direct question naire to practically every s ipping point in the West there was estimat- ed to be about 86,500,000 bushels of v Sd oe Surprise is often halt of fright That brings about a sudden flight. --KFarmer Brown's Boy Flip the Terrier, certainly had found something. There was "ho doubt about that. It seemed us it he would bark his head off or explode with excitement, At the approach of Farmer Brown's Boy he became still more excited. As his master came around the big brush pile to the side on which Flip was, the little dog looked over to him and then put his head in at an opening under the brush, and his bark became almost a yelp he was so excited.

Otherwise he wouldn't have encouraged Flip to go in there, for Farmer Brown's Boy is not the kind that allows his dog to kill just for the sake of killing. But Flip didn't "go in there and | bring him out!" The most he would do was to poke his head in at a big opening, then hack out and bark. Although he felt a lot braver now that his master was at hand, it was quite plain to see that he didn't want to go in under that pile of Lrush., He was quite satisfied to poke his head in and bark, "What {s the matter with you, Flip?" demanded his master "Why don't you go in there?

This differs from other Lewisohn books not only in the style which is designedly medieval, but also in the impersonality of the philosophy --less Lewisohn and more Isracl. One of the New York Theatre Guild plays is Elizabeth the Queen by M. Anderson. The conflict between the love of young Essex and the ag- ing Elizabeth for each other and their even stronger love of power is presented here in dramatic and mov- ing form. The empire stands be- tween them, and rather than reln- quish his claim to it, Essex goes to his death. Stephen McKenna has created an interesting character in 'I'he Cast- frorn Duke. The Duke of Leomnster was an autocratic old man who had kept his family under control until his rule was questioned by his grand- daughter-in-law. She is determined to have her little sons cdncated in accordance with her own ideas, The old Duke dominates the story as he did in his family. Flip's respense was a little rush that took his head and shoulders in and then a hasty backing out, all the time barking. "lI do belleve you are afraid," said his master. 'Perhaps it isn't a Rabhit or a Hare after all. I wonder if Prickly Porky the Por- cupine is under there. If he is you are a wise dog to stay outside. 1 would hate to have you get your face full of those little spears of Prickly Porky's. 1 can't think of anyone clse you need fear who is likely to be in there." He looked around for signs of Prickly Porky outside, but could find none. No trees were stripped of their bark and there were no quills to be found anywhere, Far- mer Brown's Boy returned to the opening and getting down on his | hands and knees was dark in thore and he cond see nothing, He got to his feet and once more urged I'lip to go in. By this time Flip had grown bolder. He ventured in almost to his egaucy stub tail, while Farmer Brown's Boy encouraged him. "That's the dog!" he cried. "Go on in. There's nothing to be afraid of, Fetch him out, boy!" And right then things happen- ed. Yes, sir, things happzned. There was a sudden loud "whoof" the sound of a big body making a rush, and before startled Farmer Brown's Boy could get out of the way, Flip with a veritable yell of sheer fright, backed out between his master's feet and upset him Just as he was slarting . to run. Down went Farmer Brown' Boy full length on the snow, and al- most stepping on him as he passed out, rushed Buster Bear. It was Farmer Brown's turn to yell with fright, and he did He was on his feet in a jiffy, and running in onc drection while in another direction, Flip was run- ig as fast as his legs could take him, vainly trying to put that stub of a tail between his legs and yelp- ing as if Buster Bear already had him. In a third direction direction Buster Bear was tearing through the Green Iorest as if he had a most important engagement some- where and no time to get there, In a moment Farmer Brown's Loy recovered from his fright and realized that there was no real danger. He stopped and turned Just in time to sce Buster Bear dis- appear deeper in thé Green For- est, and Flip disappear in the di- rection of home, still yelping. Then Farmer Brown's boy began to laugh. He laughed and laugh- ed until he had to sit down on a log from sheer exhaustion. "The thing I would like to know," sald he at last, "Is which one of the three of us was the most scared."
