It is desirable to get the chicks to roost just as soon as they no longer need heat to keep them com- fortable. One of the best ways of get- ting chicks to roost is to build a slop- ing roost to the rear of the brooder house or to one side of the house and| enclose the underneath side of the' roost with a fine mesh wire so that the chicks cannot get at the droppings.l They will take to these temporary: roosts in no time. i Use of Higher Grade Seed More Gen- Late reports to the Ontario Market- ing Board would indicate a possible market in Montreal for Ontario straw- berries.

Mr. Conger is well- ,'known in the perishable produce busi- 'nessin Eastern Canada, being former- ,ly associated with the Dominion Fruit Exchange at Ottawa. Growers have iexpressed themselves as pleased with the appointment feeling that everyâ€" :one will be given fair and honest rep- .resentation and that defects in grad- ting and packing will be eliminated gradually.

It will be recalled that Mr. Toms dem- ionstrated very clearly the value of an .Ontario representative to promote the sale of Ontario produce in the West glast year. He has just returned to Win- nipeg after visiting the principal mar- kets on the prairies and reports con- ditions greatly improved over a year .ago with prospects for a record beingl established for Ontario produce on: Western markets this year.

And even greater numbers are asking for a difitinct variety of potato. The merchandizing of potatoes, as in the case of most other commodities, ,is in a state of change and growers [who propose to keep abreast of the utimes must of necessity recognize that fract. This is the opinion of J. T. Cas- sin. Central Ontario Potato Growers’ Association. One evidence of this :change is that many consumers in cit- ies and towns are becoming interested in the manner in which potatoes are will be handled through Mr. H. E.

Bob, you have no idea what a marvellous time we had up at the French River. The Kennedys were wonderful to us.” "Not one like that,” he roared, “and it's too dam bad you had to meet me in New York. I wish to heaven you’d gone on through." “Now Bob, you would say that, and I thought you wanted company.

I’ll sur- prise him," she thought, and, quietly making her way up the aisle, threw her arms around him and kissed the young man, when she noticed to her dismay that it was not Bob who was the recipient of such a greeting. The young man was as much embar- rassed as she, and. after the hilarious laughter of the other passengers had died down, he said, “My dear young lady, this is so sudden. It’s too expen- sive. I can‘t afford it, and although I bruise easily. I am a brute for pun- ishment." The gateman releasing the lock, al- lowed her to dash through to a train which was about to pull out, but in the delay she missed the red-cap and hav- ing heard the porter call “All Aboard,” anxiously asked. “What track is the Boston train on, and car 611?” “Here.
