Now that cars. are so common, it would be well for all towns to en- force a better observance of the rules of the road. “Safety First” is a slogan displayed everywhere. but little observed in some places. The fast. and reckless running on town streets should be dealt with severely. Recklessness is altogeth- er too common and should be stop- ped before somebody loses his life through it. In all large towns, and in many smaller ones, car drivers are forced to take the right of the street. but in Durham they go just where they like. and it is not an uncommon thing to see them on the wrong side. The rules of the road. though published often. has yet failed to soak into the heads of some. A vehicle or car wishing to pass another going in the same direction should pass nn the left. sidn. At the same timp thn u-hicle nr our being passed should turn to thn right so as in giVe half the trmelled road. On meeting hnth \ehiCIos, or can, Shnuld tum to tho right. It. seems. unnnwssm'y in :riw place in matter like this. but iherp am many who don't. knnw ypt which way to turn. Printer’s ink. as we have often intimated. was a big factor in mak- ing it what it is to-day. But the printer’s ink, in this case, was mixed with business brains, and the union of the two made an irresis- tible combination. A man may he possessed of the very best business abiiity, but that alone is not e- nough to create business without judicious publicity This is one nf the great opposi- tions the merchants at“ country towns have to compete with if they intend to stay in business. There is little doubt the time is fast com- ing when the mercantile business will bt centralized in a few big con- cerns (merating,r from the big cen-- tres. There are men still living who can remember the Eaton store as a very small affair compared with its present magnitude. A. A day or two last VV eek. there was a busy time around the post office. Batons catalogues had arriVed and had to be disposed of. Behind th( bars there new piles being as- sorted and a large stock was in tho.- front office VVaiting its turn.

PAGE 4. 1917 '31‘ Samples of feeds and prices in car lots have been submitted which. even with a reasonable commission would be retailed at a comparative- ly low price. Some of these sam- ples are: Buckwheat screenings. $25 per ion at Saskatoon, this is a cracked feed. 96 per cent. wild buckwheat and cracked wheat, .1 per cent. weed {seeds of various kinds. It is a good rearing feed and may be fed whole or ground. Another sample was quoted at 81.90 per cm... fob.

These. are all satisfactory feeds and the prices quoted shew that. compared with wheat they are cheaper. They could be used as: whnle grain or as a mash feed. Tn some of them weed seeds will be found. and care must be taken in feed SO these willflnot Spread._ Local flour mills in Ontario and Quebec submitted all the samples lmt the wild buckwheat screenings. No doubt feed of this nature could be secured at any mill making flour and if pmiltrymen would ask for it more of it would be available. For British Columbia and tho, Maritime Prnx'incos. the buckwheat Swooning; seem the best available and a little coâ€"operation might be tho moans of securing this feed in car lfits.

Such feeds make \ery suitahit ratirms, especially for growing chicks or for the summer feeding of laying stock and they are much more economical than Wheat. In an experiment conducted at the Can Rouge experimental station. screen- ings at two-thirds the cost of good wheat produced eggs at less coat than did the wheat. Some of this feed may be fed Whole, and some ground for a. mash. There are considerable buck- wheat screenings procurable at a reasonable price at the prairie and Port Arthur elevators, which make good feed. At the middle eastern flour mills there are quantities. of screenings taken from the milling wheat that would form almost an ideal grain mixture and could be purchased at about the price of shorts. In fact. most of this class of fondis ground and mixed with the mill feeds. and as a consequence is lost as a grain feed for poultry. Such feeds make very suitable For the grain part of the ration it might be necessary to use oats, bar- ley. buckwheat, etc., when these are procurable at reasonable rices. In many places these cannot e ob- tained: here the screenings from flour mills and elevators should be used. Before looking for other grain feeds, it might be advisable to sug- gest that more mash feeds be used in the ration. During the summer both the chicks and the layers could be fed a larger proportion of dry or moist mash and less grain than 15 usually advised. Mill feeds such as shorts and bran are easier to get, and cheaper than the grain feeds, and when the birds are on range could be eaten in largerproportions I {Experimental Farms Note.) The question of feed for'poultry is becoming serious. Corn is prac- tically off the market, oats high in lprice, barley and buckwheat very scarce as well as very high. Wheat, the most popular poultry feed in Canada at any price, should not, under present conditions, be used for poultry if it is fit for milling purposes, for the prospects are that this year’s crop will leave the world’s supply of wheat still short and it will be necessary to save all suitable wheat for human con- sumption. Poultrymen will there-w fore have to look for a substitute. ness would have had instant en» dorsement from Congress. America would have been two years ahead of her present position in ability to LCODe with a situation into which it has finally been forced. A million men would have been armed, equip- 'ped, ofi'ieered and trained. War ships and merchant ships could have been provided and the sub- marine problem would have had proper consideration many months ago. There would have been univer- sal comprehension of the imminent danger to the civilized world and the United States would have been in arms by January lst, 1916.

The anthracite prices fixed, ef- fective September 1, are virtually the same as those now charged at the mines under a voluntary ar- rangement made by producers with the trade commission. The prices that may be charged by jobbers, howeyer, will reduce present costs sharply. Bituminous jobbers’ profâ€" its, too, will be cut by the new price scale set for wholesale trans- actions. The last, and final step will be to make regulations foncoal distribu- tion and to fix anthrficite and bitu- minws retail prices. This will be done when a distribution prOgram is perfected and when the federal trade commission has completed a plan under which retail profits may be fixed. Government control of the coal industry was made almost complete to-night when President Wilson named Dr. H. A. Garfield, president of Williams College, fuel adminis- trator; fixed anthracite prices for producers and jobbers and set a limit, on profits to be made by hi- tuminous wholesalers.
