It is not likely that any other con- tingent of girls will ever have the privilege. King's School is the oldest school in Australia. It was established in association with a famous English school at Canter- bury, and it has more traditions than any other school in the Com« monwealth, Its situation is always pointed out to visitors at Parra- matta, and at all times except dur- ing the holidays its students dot the landscape in thelr grey tunics with red facings, and blue trousers with red stripes, and their A.LF. hats. The school, which Is almost ahout to celebrate its centenary. holds girls on holiday. The dor- mitories are filled with girls; girls are on the flelds and in the boats on the river. They are not allowed to wander farther during their precious week at King's. Arrange- ments are made to meet thelr uvery need. They have a post-of- fice, a bank, a dispensary, a store, and so forth . The Parramatta Historical Society has seen to ft that all are informed of important places and events. It may be that, being girls, they will be given a trip to Elizabeth Farm---the first farm in Australla--which {s but n bowshot or two from King's school, Archery is one of the arts the girls are practising. POOR ENTERTAINERS Cape Town, South Afriea, March 17.--The wife of the Archdeacon of Gibraltar, recently returned from a long stay In Spain, told an interviewer that Spanish women do not entertain at all. "They have beautiful homes, and their hope is to entertain royalty some day und give a grand ball. Otherwise, they have occasional gatherings in the cafes. The open-air life in Spain, indeed, is even more noticeable than in France. After dinner-- which is a most sumptuous meal, for they eat well in Spain--the men go to the cafes, and the wo- men retire to bed." . WOMAN'S WORK London, March 17.--Miss Su- san Lawrence, M.P., told an amus- ing story the other day about a man who had tried domestic ser- vice. He was a skilled engineer, and being out of a job, he got one as odd man at an hotel. His du- ties consisted of sweeping, wash- ing up, scrubbing, and so on. But eventually, in his own words, he was "fired." Sympathizing with him, Miss Lawrence asked him 7 4 the work was hard. "Hard?" he answered. "It was cruel. It was a woman's work."

The Redshoulders had had a long jour- ney up from the Sunny South and ever since their arrival in the ureen Forest had worked hard in the building of a new home, Now that was finished. Even Mrs, Red- shoulder admitted chat she could- n't find another thing to Jo to it. Ahead of them were nearly four weeks of patient sitting on eggs and then several weeks of cease- less hunting from dawn to dark to feed a growing family. So, as It was not quite time tor the eggs to -he laid, they wisely decided on a vacation wherein to rest and get ! in condition for the busy weeks ahead. "We'll look over the ground and find where the best hunting lg ly to be," declared Redshoulder "My, it does seem good not to have | anything in particular to do." Sweet Mistress Spring hal m rived and throughout the Green Forest, all over the Green Mea- dows, up in the Old Pasture, over in the Old Orchard, along the Laughing Brook and around the Smiling Pool there was a general awakening. The sap was running up in the trees. Brown Huds were bursting as tiny green leaves push- od out.

Best of all, from Redshoulder's point of view, Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse already had a new family. He didn't kndw this but lie suspected it. The more mice on the Green Meadows, the easier it would be to get a good living. Joy was in the very air and Red- shoulder and Mrs, Redshoulder felt it, They would sail in circles high in the alr with hardly a mo- 'fon of thelr great wings, now and then screaming for the sheer joy of heing alive and home, As they galled their wonderful eyes were watching below, Even from way up there in the air they could see a mouse running in the Grass of the Green Meadows.

Durguss) The next story: "Redshiulder Has a Narrow Escape." BROODING WITH BATTERY BROODERS Thousands of chicks are. being brooded all over the country in dozens of different ways. Where one person makes a huge success of a certain method of brooding, another will make a complete fail- ure of tho same system. This is due to several rearons. The main Most people rajsing chicks blame the feed or the place they got the chicks from firet when they have trouble, Dut generally the fault can be traced back to the person caring for the chicks, Thero are no two poultrymen brood chicks exactly alike that I ever heard of. There are, however, a lot think they do, but, if they were to check up clozely they would invariably find a difference somewhere, At the present 'time the Battery Broodér System is very popular, especially where a large number of chicks are raised and I will deal with this system here, It is now possible for the small poultryman, or back lotter as he Is better known ag, to raise early chicks in his cellar by the use of a Battery Brooder unit which now can be bought as low as $15 and will hold 100 chicks. The battery system | enables you to raise from 90 to 98 per cent. of your chicks to ma- turity, for it gives them the start they need to make healthy, early maturing pullets. With the bat- tory brooder the chicks stand on a wire screen and all dropping pass through to a metal pan below where they are out of the chick's reach, This pan is cleaned once or twice a day and as the wire screen is treated with a certain chemical process so that nothing will adhere to it, your chicks are kept absolutely ¢lean. They cun only eat the food and water placed in the troughs outside the brood- gr. As a large percentage of chicks die within two or three weeks of being hatched through eating Iit- ter and dirt, you can readily see why the battery brooder system is so successful. Outside of raising a large percentage of your chicks and cutting down on the labor cost you can keep three or four thous- and chicks In the same space as is required for four or five hundred the old way. By adding 5 per cent. cod liver ol to your chick mash you can | raise chicks successfully in the cel- lar of your house by using battery .- Poultry News and Hints - one being the poultryman himeelr, | brooders, providing the cellar tem- perature does not drop below 66 degrees. There are a few things to remember with regards to brooding chicks which have a lot to do with how many chicks you raise. Put only strong, healthy chicks In brooder, feed them just us soon as they are placed in brooder, give them plenty of fresh water and feed, keep them clean, ce everything is all right before | leaving brooder, keep a dim light burning all night. simple rules and you will he well repaid for your trouble. By plac- ing a newspaper on the battery brooder pans you can clean daily in a very short time as all you need to do is roll up the old paper and put on a fresh one. It is bet- fer to use two thicknesses of pa- per and to sprinkle some disen- fectant on the pan under the pap- er. I have had wonderful results with the battery brooder system during the last two years, by keep- ing the chicks in the battery for the first two weeks and then tak- ing out the pullets, placing them in a brooder house and keeping the cockerels in the battery until they are six weeks old and ready for broilers. You can readily tell the sex at two weeks with Leghorns and other light breeds. In plac- ing chicks that have been kept in battery brooders in a brooder house -you will have to treat them the same as day old chicks until they learn where the heat and feed fs. Be sure to put wire across the corners to stop crowd- ing and keep a dim light burning all night. Don't use too strong a light at night or your chicks will grow too rapidly and be weak and spindley. GET YOUR CHICKS EARLY In speaking with several hatch- erymen lately they say people are not ordering chicks yet and they are afraid the same thing will happen this year that happened a few years ago. People put off buy- ing or ordering their chicks till late spring and then everyone wanted them at the same time. The consequence being that a jarge number of people had to walt till June or July to get their chicks. Which meant that it was late De- cember or early January before their pullets were laying. Re- member one March or April hatch- ed pullet is worth two hatched in June or July. Late hatched chicks do not mature as rapidly as early Follow these |' hatched ones and do not do near- ly so well. The price may be a little higher but they are an lot cheaper in the long run, Next week I will continue with brooding as it is impossible to cov- er it all in one article, Send in your questions which will be an- swered promptly, Going Home by Proxy When plans for a trip home went wrong, "John felt distressed about breaking: the news.
