poultry promotion congress held un der the auspices of the quebec pro vincial committee of the cfrwin produce association at montreal not only did fried chicken prove the mas terpiece of the menu but mans- thomas chef of the mount royal hotel who fried them was asked to grre an address on the value and util ity of poultry onthe dinner table poultry said mans thomas pro vides one of the dishes most pvhg to the general taste and in giving the recipe for fried chicken as served at the banquet related an interest ing story of the origin of fried chick en the story is the legend of chicken saute marengo on june 14 1800 just 138 years ago napoleon bonaparte in one of his lightning strokes defeated the austrians at marengo and in celebration of his victory invited his leading generals to dinner that evening unfortunately the field kitchen had been unable to keep pace with the rapid advance although napoleons chef dunant in a light van had pressed forward with the staff the van however was not provisioned and dunant was faced with an almost insurmountable problem napoleon had said dinner and dinner there would have to be dunant spied a farm house in the distance and at once dispatched two battlescarred soldiers of napoleons escort to see what they could find the old sol diers were hard put to it but they managed to waylay three wandering chickens and gather a few rare toma toes and a bunch of garlic with these materials napoleons chef had to uphold his reputation and comply with the imperial order the chickens were hastily killed plucked and cut into pieces mean while oil was being heated on an improvised stove and in no time the pieces of chicken were browning and simmering with a few drops of brandy sprinkled on top the dinner was served and was highly praised by napoleon and his staff thus was instituted chicken saute marengo today said mons thomas we make chicken marengo a little differ ent from the original particularly in the garnishing of the dish but the anecdote shows how it is possible for country hotelkeepers who have no refrigerating system with which to keep dressed poultry fresh to turn to live poultry from the barnyard when unexpected guests arrive q 0 war on ragweed j an appeal for public cvoaaration m the elimination of ragweedt which is claimed to be a prolific source of nay fever is being urged by the provincial authorities the several interested departments of govern ment during the last few years have been reminded of the increase in the spread of ragweed this plant is ap parently found with increasing fre quency in all parts of southern on- tairo as it is estimated that the pollen from the flowers of this weed is responsible for eight per cent of the hay fever which is affecting a very large number of the ruratand urban population each year it is highly desirable that every possible effort be made to eradicate this weed while hay fever is not considered to be a serious form of illness it is extremely disturbing to those who are affected by it and its complica tions are frequently serious enough it is estimated that somewhere in the neighborhood of three per cent of the population are susceptible to vari ous manifestations of allergy with hay fever due to ragweed as the most important single item the plant can be easily identified and as it is listed among the noxi ous weeds suitable arrangements should be made to ensure its destruc tion in all communities both rural and urban before the plant begins to flower in late june or early july the second growth of the cut stalk should be again cut down late in august or early september it is felt that these methods if carefully carried out and persisted m for a matter of a few years only to all parts of the pro vince will soon limit the extent to which the fagsbed exists the coroperatlonof the people at u large particularly tn the rural dis tricts might rightly be sought by the weed inspector of a very significant percentage of the population of this and the travelling pubuc provinces and the united states that the requirement of the noxious weeds act be carried out j throughout the entire municipality bravo grey owl minnie leans upton and
