The Book of Books is the most im- portant book to which we should all have the desire to search for food for the soul. There are so many avenues of interest on which one may tread through its pages. One might take the promises and learn them from memory. Or, if thoughts of love were dozens of them to be found. The parables spoken by our Lord are very practical problems on which our thoughts might dwell. To search for all the accounts there are of just the kind things Christ did while on earth would, no doubt. make us must kinder in our intercourse with our fellow-men. One might like to search for all the references to flowers and to trees. Those who have read the Pollyanna books win remember that Pollyanna said her father had found over one hundred “glad” verses in the Bible. Then there are a great many small books with short stories, or a page for a day. or perhaps only a few lines in rhyme that contain beautiful thoughts and are splendid for the busy person.

Old age is sometimes sore depressed. this courage will my spirit feed. “I saw a poster yesterday that urg- ed great thrift each youthful hour. I’ll bank a cheerful thought each dayâ€"so my old age won‘t turn me sour.” Then there are some little books of verse by Fay Inchfawn “The Verse Book of a Homely Woman”, “Verse of a House Mother”.

STARVATION PERIOD FOR CHICKS Experimental work carried on at the Poultry Division Experimental Farm. Ottawa to determine the amount of time that should elapse between the completion of the hatch and .the giv- ing of the first feed. has shown some interesting results. An experiment carried on during 1925 gave rather indefinite results but showed no greater mortality on feed- ing after twenty-four or thirty-six hour periods than when the birds were starved for a longer time. A continuation of this experiment during 1926 showd the greatest gain in weight up to three weeks of age to be made by chicks fed twenty-four hours after the completion of the hatch. The weight gains decreased gradually until forty-eight hours after which point decrease in weight gains was more marked. Mortality was equal for all lots excepting the last fed in which there was a slight increase. This experiment was again contin- ued during 1928. In this case the greatest gain was made by the birds fed sixty hours after hatching followed by those fed seventy-two. twenty- four. forty and ninety six hours after hatch- ing respectively. Mortality was equal and greatest for the birds fed forty and seventy-two hours after hatching. In no case did the birds starved until ninety-six hours after hatch compare favorably with the earlier fed birds. The results obtained to date would seem to indicate that chicks may be fed as early as twenty-four hours after hatching with no harmful results either upon weight gains or mortality-11 It is just possible, however. that there is a happy medium in the neighbor- ,hood of from thirty-six to forty-eight fhours after hatching. These results }seem to indicate that, the fact that I chicks will go as long as one hundred hours or more before receiving their first feed is to be looked upon more as a fortunate circumstance which per- mits of shipping over great distances rather than the best method of hus- Read The Chronicle ads on page 7.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE To say we were somewhat astounded and amazed at the Chronicle’s article in its leading column of last week, is putting it mildly. We thought Ananias and Baron Munchasen were dead and mouldering in the dust, but a second Munchasen must have arisen and en- tered the editor’s sanctum with mali- cious intent. What puzzles us sorely Educational Competition held through out Canada last week. is the » gullibility of the editor, or was the article written with deadly purpose and why? To state the facts fairly is our only defenoe. _ _- Au‘n- Firstly ,â€"Markda1e has a co-opera- tive shipping association composed of all parties, classes and creeds.
