Francis Chantrey On a little farm near the Village of Norton. .a few miles from the city of Slwtl’iellil. in England, there was born nu April 7th 1781 a little boy named Francis (Jllantrey. u\' an“ â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" At the age of six he \\ out to the \illage «111001 and the 01d register still in oxistenc shows he learned 1019311 in Apiil 1787 to “rite in Januan 1788211111 to do aiithmetic in ()1 1111:1431 1792.

A- An . ‘ In those days the city of Sheffield was supplied with milk from the outlying farms. The. milk was put into barrels. and two barrels slung across a donkey's back. one to bal- ance the other. The. barrels had taps and the milk was drawn off into tins for house to house deliv- ery. The boys who drove the don- keys were often mischievous and the donkeys often balky, and very often there would be so much jumping around that. the milk was well churned. l-w vâ€" Franeis Chantrey was a donkey boy and his donkey's name was "Jock“. One day when he was re- turning from the city with the week’s supply of groceries. Jock stormed to take a drink at the side of the road and found the water so cool and refreshing he slid down into the water. groceries and all. It. was a cross boy who tried to re- cover what. he could of his supplies from the pond with a rake. Sometimes when Francis walked by the side of-Joek. to and from Sheti'ield he would amuse himself bv \Vhittling a stick. One day a gentleman met him and examined his \\ ork and thought it so good that he "ax e him a Sixpence for it. '1 h1~ xx as. the i‘ust money he earned 11} his caning. â€". In his humble home the floor was made at stones. on flags, as they are called in English Iarm houses and Francis loved to draw pictures Upon these stones. time day a man came to see his father on business and his mother brought out a pork pie upon the top of which were worked a mother pig: and several little pigs. The man was surprised at this and Mrs. Chantrey told him that Francis had modelled the pigs before the dough was cooked. :Vl1.Chant1'o} died when Francis was t.“ eho years of age, and soon after Francis was apprenticed to Robert Ramsey who hacl a small shop in Sheffield where he sold pictures. plastm' models. wood innings and smh things.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Canadians appear to be regarded as phenomenal {egg eaters. In a report. received from the Canadian Trade Commissioner Harrison Wat- son, stationed in Old London, it is pointed out, that the consumption of eggs in Canada amounts to 337 per head of population per annum, outâ€" stripping the rest of the world in this respect. The consumption of other countries is given as Belgium 213, United States 180, France 133, Great Britain 125, Germany 117, Sweden 85, Denmark 75, and Nor- wayGl. The Imperial Economic Committee is credited with attrib- uting Canada‘s high consumption of eggs to the attention and, encour- agement which has been given by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa to the industry in this country. It moreover emphasizes the pactical Value of the deveIOp- ment of the farming community in so far that production of poultry and eggs is available to practically everybody on the land prepared to exercise ordinary care and intellig- ence, The Commissioner further points out that there has been a remarkable increase in poultry farming in the United Kingdom since the war. This is credited to the interest that ex-soldlers have. been led to take in poultry raising. This home increase has brought the importations of the United Kingdom to a. lower figure than before the, war. Importations from Empire sources, excluding the Irish Free State, are. practically unchanged. Upon the other hand, consignments from Australia and South Africa hove increased, while shipments from Canada have decreased. Pre- vious to the war, it is pointed out, Russia supplied fifty per cent and Denmark twenty per cent of the eggs imported. At present China and Denmark, in the order named, dominate the trade and supple- mented by receipts from Nether- lands, Poland and Belgium, contrib- ute about eighty per cent of the eggs imported.
