Dear Mr. Editor: -- For some years past the work tha! this Hospital Qas oeen able to do for the children ot Ontario nas oeen I seriously cramped through iack ot j space. A point was reached where ; the Trustees flaa to decide wnether ! its service should De restricted to the utmost number ot "Sick Kids I whom it could provide with cots oi I whether it should add to its room ; There are many youngsters sutler [ ing tram afflictions of the spine ana joints, whom only many long moutns can restore to neaJth and streugth. Medicai care will aelp; out wnat r.hey principally need is tresu air and sunshine*Hitherto the Hospital for Sick Children aas looked after such children in an institution close by a city playground, where more fortunate ooys and girls enjoy their sports, imagine their plight, lying month after month listening to the , jhouts and laughter of other children in October last, the Hospital tor Sick Children opened its country annex devoted to youngsters :>ne chance to have their straightened or their Dodies built must oe id some place where they nave sunshine and fresh air plus nursing care and medicfci attention. On i height ot iand near Weston, away from the murk ot the city, children are winning their way back to health in an environment of sunshine, pure breezes and quiet. The country hospital at i'nistle-town is a God-send tor children whom it will take a long time to cure it also liberates a aundred aots in the parent institution for youngsters who can De set right in a short time if quickly given constant attention So the Hospital for Sick Children nas now two doors to keep open day and night to every class color and creed. For more than half a century the Hospital has depended for its very existence upon the public response to its annual appeal which, being in behalt of children, is appropriately made at Christmas time. Vot over fifty years the H.F.S.C nas Oeen enabled to make Ooth ends meet by the donations of its friends, whether such be a dollar or an endowment But the end of 1928 finds it with many large bills to pay for its new To its old friends the Hospital tor Sick Children once more appeals It is because so many of your readers are included in that ever-growing circle, that i trespass upon your their generosity in the past that emboldened the Hospital's Trustees to ouild for the future. With an >xtrs effort stimulated by a new need, jannot the income of the Here and There Ll is estimated that 23,500,000 acres will be sown to crops this year in the West, an increase of 2,500,000 acres over 1926. Canadians hold the record for eatine; eggs. The average Canadian last year consumed 337--a record according to Dr. J. H. Grisdale, Deputy Minister of Agriculture. Tobacco-growing is flourishing in Western Ontario, and this year the acreage will likely run to 45,000 or double that devoted to the production of this plant in 1925. The crop last year was valued at $6,000,000. One of the most powerful radio stations in Canada will be erected at Red Deer, Alberta, in the near future. Stations will be operated in Calgary and Edmonton by remote control to the main station. New Zealand will be officially represented at the* World's Poultry Congress at Ottawa, July 27 to August 4. R. W. Hawke, one of the Island Dominion's best known poultry breeders, will represent that country. Besides the game fish hatchery which will be established by the Dominion Government in the Wateron Lakes district in Southern Alberta, a commercial fish hatchery will be established in the north. The latter will also handle certain species of game fish suitable to lake waters. The Canadian Pacific steamship passenger traffic through the port of Saint John during the winter season of 1926-7 was over 40 per cent, greater than that of the previous season, and it is expected that the summer traffic through the St. Lawrence port will show a still greater increase. The last addition to the chain of Canadian Pacific hotels is the "Hotel Saskatchewan," located at Regina. opening on May 24. It is one of the finest of the chain of a character in keeping with the im- j portance of the capital city of the Province which furnishes 50 per cent, of the Dominion's wheat output. The hotel is 12 stories, containing 216 bedrooms with bath, and many beautiful public rooms and administrative offices. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company reports from Winnipeg the marketing of grain at the present rate of 180,000 bushels daily, as compared with 123,376 for the corresponding season of last year. Manitoba's 180,000 compares with Saskatchewan's 533,000 and Alberta's 366,827. Loadings are also COST OF FEEDING HORSES Although the tractor is beiug used successfully for a great many operations, the work horse may still be consideration as the principal motive power on the great majority of the farms of Canada, consequently, practically every farmer should be interested in the actual cost of feeding horses, particularly horses that are working most of the time. At the Dominion Experimental Station, Kapuskasing, Ontario, records are kept of the amount and cost of feed consumed by all the work horses. The average figure obtained over a five-year period are as follows: NunVber of horses fed, 14.4: hours worked per horse per day, 8.7; hay .per horse per day, 19 pounds; grain per horse per day, 15.5 pounds; and i cost of feed per horse per year. I $156.65. It may be noted that the average I cost of feed per horse per year of | $156.65, would equal about 86 cents 1 per day for a two-horse team. U : should be pointed out, however, that | this figure represents condition - i where the horses are employed almost every working day in the year a reasonably heavy work and therefor*. ; the cost of feeding is much high i than it would be for an idle horse. | or even one that was working tor ! only part of the time. In arriving at these figures, the I hay was charged at local farm prices, j that is, the amount it would sell for j on the farm without being pressed or hauled. The grain was charged at j local market prices. Dominionn Experimental Station,! A. Belzile, Kapuskasing, Ontario.
