Many of the packing houses and larger produce dealers find it necessary to go to con- siderable expense to provide the nec- essary premises and equipment to properly finish such poultry. The best place to feed poultry is on the farm, and, if it pays the packing houses to be good business to do the work on the farm. é Proper feeding and finishing will not only greatly increase the weight of the birds, but-will also enhance the value of every ounce of flesh on the carcass, and greatly reduce the pro- portion of offal in relation to the amount of edible meat. There is generally a difference of from three to seven cents per pound in the price paid for well-fleshed birds as compared with lean unfinished stock just off the range. There is always a market for prime quality poultry, while the poorer quality has to be sold at whatever price can be obtained, depending on the market and the amount of effort put forth on the part of the seller. Birds generally make the greatest 1} gain when about three or four months of age, and the average birds make the most economical gains during the first two weeks of special feeding. Chickens can be readily taught to feed by lamplight; this is a great con- venience, as it is desirable that the time of feeding be spaced as nearly | as possible twelve hours apart. The crate system of feeding is much more economical and efficient. In practising this method, one is able to carefully note the progress being made by each bird and the feeding period of the more thrifty can often be shortened or lengthened as desir- ed. Also the flesh of the crate-fed birds is invariably softer than that of pen fed birds.

Recently the results of the mid- | summer examinations in some rural schools that retain pupils above the high school entrance examination standard have been appearing in lo- cal papers. This is a very encourag- ing sign, because it in dicates a reviy- al of the old-time idea of a public school training that should aim at fitting a pupil for a vocational career rather than merely at preparing him for entrance into some higher insti- tution. The worst incubus by which the public school teachers of the pres- ent time in Ontario are hampered in their work as educationalists is the general acceptance of the entrance examination as a leaving examination for the public school, so that parents, upils, teachers, and inspectors alike tate their educational outlook con- tracted, and their cultured opportun- ities wasted, by grave but widespread and potent misdirection. Every public school should aim at being sufficient unto itself in the mat- ter of affording facilities for getting such a training as will obviate the necessity for a youth to go anywhere else to extend it, unless to obtain a teacher's certificate or enter a learn- ed profession, The urban public school and the rural public school should have advanced courses that are identical, except that in the form- er the work in elementary science and Are You Paying Big Prices for Reasonable prices are becom- ing harder to get every day on account of woollen materials for suitings being almost off the market--hence the raise in price of all goods, ; * Through early and care- ful buying, I am able to sell at practically the old price.

Upon the harvested area of 340,700 acres, this gives a total yield of 5,275,700 bushels as com- pared with 15,363,450 bushels in 1917 and 17,590,000 bushels in 1916. In Ontario, where the bulk of the fall wheat crop is grown, the estimated total yield for 1918 is 4,435,200 bush- els from 277,200 acres, a yield per acre of 16 bushels, as compared with behind what we make.

REV. H. BAUMAN INSTALLED AT NEW HAMBURG The installation of Rev. H. Bau- man _ into the pastorate of St. Pat- er's Lutheran Church, New Hamburg, took place Sunday, Aug. 1ith. _ The services were conducted and the cere- mony was performed by Rev. W. C. Beese, of Kitchener, President of the Canada District of the Missouri Sy- nod, who officiated in the presence of four other ministers of the Synod. The edifice was crowded for the im- pressive occasion. Many outside attendants were pre- sent. About three hundred people partook of the supper provided by the congregation in the basement of the church. In the evening an English service was conducted by Rev. Wugazzer, of Sebringville. The choir of St. Paul's Church, El- mira, attended, as well as other mem- bers of the congregation. THREE CHILDEN INJURED WHEN GUN EXPLODES Either through an unfortunate ac- cident or 'a dastardly trick, three young Ellice children suffered very severe injuries Sunday night through the explosion of a gun charged with powder. A 12-year-old son of Fred Rose, of Ellice, was playing in a drive shed at the home of John Hinz, with the lat- ter's son and 6-year-old daughter. Hearing a dog bark, they ran to the door. As they opened it, there was a loud report, and a flash of a discharg- ing gun. The trio, and the two boys especial- ly received almost the full force of the charge, which had evidently been set at a short range. Their hats were blown off and both boys had their faces blackened with the powder, which was ground into the skin, There is no clue as to who was responsible for the affair or a motive for it.
