' ♦ A Chick's Appetite. j That tho (juantity of f»s>d which chickens coneume from day to day will often vary considorably I.h commonly recogniiwd, but until recently there has been littlo actual evidence to show Just how much variation occurs. The results of one exporinicnt show that although there is a rather steady increase in the quantity of feed or milk that lOO chickens consume per day as they grow from one to nlno weeks of age, there are frequent changes from day to day that are de- el<tedly out of line with the averajs for the week In which those days d^ cur. Ah an illustration, though the aver- age daily feed consumed by 100 chicks in the fifth week was a little over 2,400 grams, they dropped from 2,540 grams on one day to 1,450 grams on the next. Similarly the milk coiwum- ed varied in that week all the way from about 5,500 grains to 8,500 grams for lOO chicks in one day. Variations of 25 per cent, in total feed or milk consumption from day to day were not uncommon, shelving that a chicken's appetite is a distinctly variable quantity, and suggesting that perhaps one of tho reason.s for differ- ences between poultrymen in their ability to grow chickens well is to be found in tho succ<.'«» wliich they attain in keeping the chickens .steadily at tho business of consuming feed from day to day. «â€" â€" â€" I a proper meal. i i »• . ,u uu .1. . , . , , ( several t'.mee to cove.- iho children. .Anoth.>r girl, with .-, ten.k-ncy to â-  p.^^- ^j,^^ ,„ ^^^ suggested, but I tardiness, kept my e.desl daughter ^^„„j ^j,^^.^ j^ ^^^ ^^ ^^ ^„„^. , ,H.rvou.!y waiting for hor in the^„^ ^,, ^^^;j„.^ ^^^^ ^^^.j „j t^,„ morninp and often w> Uun a few sec- ; i^j^^^^^^ ^„j uncovered babie.s would; ends of being late with her.

Storage of Vegetables on the Farm. 8T'>RIN'c; CABHAGK. Danish Ballhead is a good variety for winter storage, on account of its compact, hard heads. The cabbage to be stored should be sound and free fr<,m di.sea.se and injury. A good, uni- formly cool place around li.'I (leg. F., where a fair degree of humidity may bo maintained, is desired. When cab- bag<> is kept inside it is best piled on 8!iitt«'d racks not more than two heads deep. Outside, the crop is stored in various forms of pits and trenches. Sometimes, the heads are cut and stored in A-shaped pits as used for roots, or the plants, roots and all, may \>o pulled and stored roots down in the shallow trenches. Around the lied a frame is built and banked up with earth, while over the top straw or other material is piled. Ventilation should l>e provided in all pit.-<, trenches â- nd root cellars or store houses. rAi;Liri,owEK storagk. Cauliflower is not an easy crop to aitore. Good sound heads with the leaves left on may bo kept under pro- per cold storage conditions for several weeks. Many market gardeners store quantities which are pulled late in the aeason and not fully matured. The plants are rf-moved to a cool cellar or frame, where they are stood close to- gether and the roots covered with moist sand or loam. When outdoor frames ore used, too much covering •â- ;rly in the season with improper ventilation will cause heating and rot- ting of the heads. SToRiNi; oNioNa.

Hehiiul .Anna Belle's house there were deep woods with a little path running through them that led to a j big rock. On â€" • â€" days Anna Rclle loved to take a l>dok, wrflk along the path, and then settle herself cozily with her back against the rock. ! There she would read and read in the j â€" â€" shadows of tho trees. One day as Anna Belle sat reading in that â€" â€" place, sho had n very â€" experience. First, all the words on tho page of her book ran together before her eyes, and when sho looked up the trees were moving also. Anna Belle could scarcely belitrve it, i but the trees all had faces. Sho could i see their â€" â€" eyes looking at her. â- Their branches wero waving about like arms.^ 1 Anna Belle was not afraid. F.ven svhen one of the tre-.s reached down, took hold of her tirn)ly with it.s ! branch and set her high up amonc its ' leaves, she mi rr.y wondered what would happen next.

A statement of considerable import is made by the officer in charge of the Tobauco Division of tho Dominion Ex- perimental farms (Mr. C. M. Slogg) when he says in his report for 1925 that the u.w of lime in tobacco fertil- izati 'n has in all cases lowered the yirfd and quality of the resulting crop at Fnniham, Quo. The use of com- mercial furtilizer.s in conjunction with manure gave an ixverago yield of two hundred P' un.is more per acre than manure alone a.s well as leaving a net profit of approximately twenty dollnr.i per acre more. It i.s al?o ntated that last year's coinpari50ii ot Tarious manure;! in tobacco fcrtilization gave highest yields with sheen manure, fol- lowed by cow, poultry, horso and hog manures. Tho .'-.tatoment, however, is added that since the soil used in this oxpvrinient was sonifwhnl va'-iable, the results secured are not considered reliable, Tho .si-mi-hot bed has been found at tho Farnhi.ni station well adapted to the production yf vigorous, early seedlings. Is this type of Tourist really an asset to Ontario ? L IQUOR advocates claim that Ontario vfill get thousands more tourists if it goes wet on December I. These are the facts : â€" The Dominion Government Report for 1925 states: Ontario under prohibition had 1 ,290,000 motor tourists. New Brunswick under Prohibition had 476,555 motor tourists. Quebec under Government Sale had 1 1 1 ,983 motor tourists. Government Sale means increased liquor sold and consumed, with increased dangers. Do you want our highways thronged with hilarious joyriders and campfollowers of the liquor traffic? Do you want to encourage and promote reckless driving upon tho highways on the part of our ow^n citizens? Don't be fooled. _ Make your vote count against these dangers.
