The continued mild weather lias certainly b-on a great saver on the fuel pile*. Incidentally. Brother Bowes, the weather prophet of Owen Sour.d, is ;i\vay out in his weather calculations for the fore part of Jan- uar> which was to have produced the worst storm known for the past thirty years. This knock will be p. hlr.ck eye for the almanac which he proposes to publish in the near future. When a weather forecaster foretells something very abnormal in weather conditions In? "comes a cropper" in nine crsf>>: out of ten. Our advice is for all such to stick to the vague, am' three-line monthly forecasts, for in that way only en they nave their fa.es. * <! '::'. dissatisfaction is being cx- l-r. eil on nil hands by the chaos in radio reception of Cnn-'dinn broad- cast injr, whii-h is lieinjr crowded out of the an- by many United States on approximately the same length. Out of 100 channels set apart for radio transmission in North America, the United States ap- propriates '.H, allowing Canada the small number of six, which is sup- posed to be sufficient for this great country, an area considerably large.- than thf country to the south of us. Cin innatti robs C'KGW and Pitts- hurg drowns out CFRB, while the Toronto Star station a"d other sta- tions in Toronto are interfered with. The allotinir of extra strong stations to opeiratc close to the Canadian Stations is an act of unfriendliness wh'cii should bo henrtilv condemned by i-ver;, radio owner in Canada. There is -n .-'nirle to radio broad- casting that should be condemned, and th-' i> the attemnt of some pa/- tiex to convince 'the government r>f the advisability of government op- i-ration '>! railio stations in Canada. Th< '-adi'i i in mission recommended broadcasting they have it in Kng- laml, where thv government controls and yupc-rvis-es everytliin^ put on the Hi"-. While it might be a splendid iilf- to reduce the time of commer- cial announcements, we believe that th" people of ('iirnda will n .' stand lor th" interference wi'h .selection of [/inrrunu i'>r radio fans. If y(,'i wo'>M desire the present system of hropdcafttlnflf to continue, or if vou desire change, simply drop a c"rd to your representative in the IIous, of Commons acquainting him or htv with the f-ic-t. They will be pleased to hve your views on the matter. Telling ;. p< rsnn to "uti.'k 'em up" is comparable to the excuse of the pi rst.n who "did not know it was loadirl."? At Kdmonton, Alberta, a rn;:n was ir-cntly honorably dis- charged in i h'-aring enquiring into the di-iith of a friend who, in fun, 01-- deri d the nerson in custody to put up his I mil . and was instantly killivl with " bullet through his heart. Fool- ish jokes like that have resulted in fatalities before this, but it seems to be human nature to skate on the thin fdu' of annihilation, Be sure your joke does not back fire. A'.fa'h For Poultry Al.'alfn in tho green state has long Ix-fn ii-c-ogiii/.od as an ideal poultry feed when uted in conjun.-ti'in with the 11 aial grains and mashes. It is used extensively ;is range or as cut green feed fur birds in confinement <lur'u ; tin 1 sluing, summer, and f'.ill months in most alfulfa-f-;ro\vin;r areas hut the value' of the hay as a winter feed is rut M> generally known. So much of the year's succecs depends on thr number and nunl'ly of chicks hatched ecch Hp-ing. that it i.< impor- tant to do all possible to increase the fertility and batchability nf the egg-.? and the livability of the chirks. Ex- periments have shown that 20 per cent better fertility and 0.4 per cent better hatchability of fertile oj?gs can be obtained from birds where alfalfa hay. instead of straw, is used as litter during the winter months preceding the breeding season and the <>me treatment given to males and female i. Salmon Moved To New Home to Spawn Bound back home to raise a family last summer, adult sockcye salmon found thai there is something new under the sun, after all, when they were tcken from the water at the mouth o.' Ad->ms Rive;- in the Shus- v;:r Lake system in British Colum- '>i;<. put into tanks or snecially con- structed pontoons and transported 7 milc3 or so to the Scotch Creek and there set free to spawn the first tiny, so far as is known, when the transfer of nny large number of live adult fish has been successfully un- dertaken. Some 1700 fish were handled in this undertaking which was the be- u-i:i:iin:; of an experiment by the Fish Culture Division of the Dominion De- partment of Fisheries to determine the no.-.sibility of building up sockcye iun* in "c\v streams by transferring p:iren' fi.-h f'om accustomed spawn- ing areas to other grounds. The in- itial steps of th cxncrimcnt, at least, h"V" been successful, for when the f i*h were set free in Scotch Creek 'He their travels they straifrhtv/ay headed fo 1 the uuper reaches of the ' ' f k. just as lively, apparently, as when the fish cultuie men captured them at Adams River. It is ihc intention of the depart- ment to continue the experiment dur- ing a complete life cycle of the sock- cye in order to ascertain whether the successive runs of rdult fish, each re- turning to sppwn four years after its life beprn, will ascend S:-otch Creek 'l so build up the stock in ih"t stream or whothe'- they will hie them.-ic'lves to Adams Hiver, the for- mer spawning proa for their family.

Pension Requirements Mortgage Sale The Provincial Secretary has writ- tsn to the Middlesex Old Age Pen- sions Board to draw its attention to thr fact that the Provincial Board has discovered a number of c?ses in whi:h property has been . transferred to "ns "d daughters in order that their parents might receive the old age pension. He cites one case in wh'eh application was made by a widow a short time after her hus- band's death. She owned 100 acres c.' land anil was entitled to all the proceeds from the sale of the mo- ehinery and other thiiigs. " And there are a number of others who are drawing the pension who made their property over to their children or relatives," the Provincial Department says. In the specific case referred to the pension has been cancelled and anangeirents arc being made to have the money already granted repaid. Dutton Advanco. Canadian fish products are equal tc the be.>t. There's no reason for r. Canadian buying imported fish. eating long before it has had enough. Di-inking bowls and mangers should be kept clean if the cattle are to flourish. Mulinui- township settled r\ heavy bill for sheep killed in that township by do?s last year. There were 57 claims awa"ded . The total of the r.wards was SI. 004.75 and the costs of valuing were $177.10. A Forty-Acre Farmer To the question whether be was able to make a living in this time of depression, a western Ontario man operating a -10-acre farm, said: "I am makiii" p little more than a liv- ing: I am at a iob that I like; I am my own tins;-, and I have n^> fear of uncmi.'.oymer;:. Neither I nor my family try to kep up with the Jones- c.i thd'.ij'h v.e live well, the farm sup- plying a large part of what \vc need on the table. We have a small >>, th-t \vi> U"" sensibly. Where could I get. H business for the same invo '- ment that would return me a.* much?" From this- declaration it h evident th"t the'-e pro 50-acrc farms thai are doin.-- their shnrc i:i contributing to th< country and giving th" owner a fnii living. The mini referred to above wf.v willing to let his neighbors i xpend their energies on the big fuims and the bi^ herds. His plan \vas to concentrate on a lew nooil an- imals which pave good returns and thi.x year he experienced no trouble in meeting his tux bills. He bus am- ple reasor for feeling satisfied. The will of the late Hon. P. C. Lar- kin amounted to Sli.fiOO.OOO.the bulk of whi-jh was left to his family. As Mr. Lai-kin started as a tea merchant in a very humble wa>, his success is a striking example of what can be ach- ieved by energy, enterprise, and ad- vertising. From practical obscurity !.< left a name that is known through- out the entire world. EUGENIA \Ve ;irc nleased to report Mrs. Percy Ma Tee recovering favorably. Mr. Rndy Gordon, who spent the past couple of weeks with his family h'.-f. returned to Toronto. Mr. Thos. Tudor o" Toronto is spending a few holidays with his brother, Henry, and family here. MJ-. Ross Davidson of Feversham spent a few days with his cousin, Mr. Km Kaitting, at the Club House. We are sorry to hear of the critical illness of Miss Doris Williams, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Williams of Toronto and grand- daughter of Mr. and -Mrs. Jos. Wil- liams of this place. We hope to hear o" an improvement in her health. The play "Promoting- Romeo", given by the Maxwell young people, was enjoyed by all who attended.
