result in great loss of yield and quality it is a wise policy immediately after the fall work has been completed co make a list of known parts to be replaced and repaired under the conditions that exist and are likely to exist for the war duration it is wise to order parts wall in advance of their actual need otherwise long delays are likely to occur as far as possible reparing should be done during fall and winter when there is not so much work to be done outdoors as during the growing sea son repairs that can not be done on the farm should be taken to the blacksmith or other repairman in the fall and winter so his work may be more evenly distributed throughout the year jn overhauling machinery nil bear ings axles and similar parts sub ject to wear should be taken apart and examined carefully any that are not likely to work well for an other full season should be replaced other parts should be thoroughly vleaned and examined taking par ticular care to see tpat the lubricat ing ports are working well parts that work in the ground such as cultivator shovels and discs should also be checked and those that are badly worn or crooked should be re- placed others may require sharp-

the vicinity of valenclch nos in northern prance on november 1st 191h that the canadian corps fought its last setpiece action of the first oreat war and l lie light ended in an outstanding triumph- it was exclusively a lth division action with the 10th and 12th in fantry brigades chiefly participating along with artillery which latter arm played a conspicuous role after taking camhral three weeks earlier tin canadians advanced to valenciennes with retreating eruihli troops uffering little opposition at vnlcncionmh however the demoral ized oneniy tkotut pulled thomftclv together dmt enough to

the attack the loth brigade magnificently sup- imrtod by artillery took mount lluoy in a brief but bitter struggle and fought through crowded villages south of valenciennes tho cerman staff threw masses of men into tho battle nnd their casualties were enormous meanwhile the 12th brigade cross ed the scheldt canal to the eet of the city and cleaned the huns out of ms streets this the canadians did in three hours from the start of the engagement then with valenciennes in their possession the advancing canadians set out for mons 21 miles away where four years previously the war had begun work 6f the 12th brigade in clean ing out valenciennes was noteworthy in that they had to labor without the old of artillery since the place was full of inhabitants in 1036 valenciennes paid tribute to the memory of a canadian hero when its citizens named one of the citys hlreets tavenue hugh cairns the tribute was to a young sergeant of the 4fith battalion hugh cairns of saskatoon who won the victoria

there could be any thrills in the chicken business well putybe if you raise chickens for no other reason than wliat you get out of them it is possible there are no thrills but if you take an interest in your birds and look upon litem not so mmh as an eg laying machine but as something that lives and breathes and with nn instlmt that keknds to both kindness and cruelty then you mny llnd thrills t lite first thrill is when the itnhy chhks nrilvo you would have to bo a hnrdhcurted luansttr not to love the woo fluffy things no dependent ujnm you for their very existence then romes i he time when

greeted mo with song anil story whenever 1 went to feed them but yet i thought y might be getting u utile too hopeful becuuso inst year we got our first pullet egg on november 1 and our chickens wore two weeks earlier then than this year however on the even lng of october 30th i found an egg on the lloor of the pen kvn though 1 hud boon looking for it i could liurdly believe my eyes maybe a hen hud got into the pen but no it wasnt that because the next day there were two egits nnd that was before tho hens were lot out that night i hod to moot n train before partner came in to supper i was so ckcltcd i left n note for him got our first pullet eg tonight tho next day v partner put up n nest lwx in tho pen and now not one but several of my little biddies tiro laying and the eggs ore quite a nice size theso pullets were hatched mny 14 and nnd quite a setback when coccldloslu hit them during the summer so i um really very well pleased with them today as we sat down ut dinner i heard n lot of squawking and then i saw all tho chickens roosters and pulleth too boating t bock to their respective pcmi just as fast as they could go there was nothing chasing them nn far as i could see but i kept wintchlmi and presently up among the lingering loaves on tho big oak treo i saw something move in i feu- minutes out flew a great big hlckcn hawk no wondor the chickens ran but what i would like
