' Repeatedly ant- insistently the re- 1 sources of Canada, the ability and de- sire of her manufacturers and pro- ldacers to supply needed articles, have been brought to the attention of ,the British and Allied Governments i both through the Colonial Secretary and through Sir George Perley, acting I High Commissioner in London. The 1 point has been urged on His Majesty’s .‘ Government that the Canadian indus- tries might fairly expect to be called 1 upon to furnish a share of the enorm- : ous quantities of war supplies needed. Pushed Canada’s Claims. The correspondence on the subject has assumed large proportions and is lot a varied character. While the E Government has declined to make re- L presentations on behalf of any mid- dleman, it has constantly maintained the policy of placing before the Brit- ish Government all possible informa- tion as to the products and manufac- tures c" all kinds obtainable in Can- ada which might be utilized or re- quired for war purposes. The Brit- ish Governmen. has been repeatedly requested from time to time to bring this infermation to the attention of the Allied Governments. ' 1 Improved Atlantic Service. In February last representations were placed before the Admiralty as to the inadequacy of transportation facilities across the Atlantic, as that condition prevented our producers and manufacturers from availing] themselves of opportunities which might ctherwisc be open. As a result of these efforts eighteen steamers were detailed by the Admiralty for‘ the purpose of transporting across the Atlantic supplies purchased in Canada for the British and Allied Governments. Sir George Perley. acting High Commissioner, has been continually engaged in assisting in these matters and the success which has attended them is in no smal.‘ degree owing to his energy and activity.

A strange episode occurred when a deer was washed over the wharf, the ani- mal having swam \ ith the wind from the Manitou Islands, 3. distance :3 seven miles. On reaching land it got its bearings and ran down the west shore, apparently none the worse for its long swim. ~._..._. The output of the factories now en- gaged in the production of brass car- tridge cases will soon be equal to the present output of the factories engaged in the manufacture of empty shells. - of what a round or fixed ammunition '1’ composed. There are four main partsâ€"the steel shell, the brass cart- ridge, the bras; primer, and the charge of cordite. The present sit- nation is that the factory output for shells in the Dominion exceeds the output of brass cartridge cases or primers and until such time as the output of the latter approximates to that of the former nothing would be gained by placing further orders for empty shells. Canada is capable of turning out empty shells in very large numbers by means of the organization which has been established through the ef- forts of the shell committee during the past nine months. In the mean- time, however, the situatior. in Great Britain has changed, and the indus- tries of that country are in a position to turn out empty shells as rapidly as they can be converted into the fixed ammunition necessary for use at the front. No More Empty Sheils Now. The British Government has ad- vised the shel- committee that they want fi'xed ammunition instead of empty shells, and they do not require any more empty shells at present. In order to clearly appreciate the situa- tion it is necessary to know exactly -L-A. n _.â€" 170 tons acetons;1.,000 000 Ross bayonets and scabbards; 1,900 tons cordite; 4, 500, 000 tuses;16.500 tons [sulphuric acid; 100,000 Ross rifles; 125,000 eighteen-pound high explo- Isive shells; 125,000 eighteen P.R. shrapnel shells: 78,000 sets accoutre- ments; 42,067 ammunition boxes; 25,000 bgandoliers; 150,000 brass brushes; 2,00 000 shaving brushes; 5,000,000 pound: paratfine candles; 257, 700 mess tins; 267. 000 pick axes; 50,000 picketing posts; 200, 000 ipicketing pegs; 120,000 shovels; 108,000 fir sleepers; 3.000 aluminum ’stoc" pots; 45.900 doses tetanus anti- gtoxine; 3,000 crossing timbers; 500,- 000 water bottles; 11,624,924 pounds bacon; 15,883,573 pounds cheese; 20, 446 tons flour; 78, 968 pounds liowl; 177,236 tons of oats; 4, 636, 332 pounds of preserved meats; 3,120,000 pounds of dried vegetables; 2.000,- 00‘0 bags of oats; 2,500,000 boot laces; 103,145 great coats; 500,000 jackets; 500. 000 trousers; 25,000 3,0ats sheepskir lined; 512,000 yards [white flannel; 1.0%. 000 cap com- ‘forters; 1 ,040, 000 cardigans; 100,- 5000 cholera belts; 500,000 cotton drawers; 1, 600,000 woollen drawers; 1150, 00 fingerless gloves; 80,000 pairs 'woollen mitts; 200, 000 pairs leather imitts; 950. 000 pairs worsted socks; 125,000 pairs lumbermen’ s socks; 50, - .000 pairs long socks; 200, 000 wool- :len undervests; 20,000 pairs rubber :boots; 1,086,500 flannel shirts; 100 'pairs shoe packs; 200 tons brass strips; 259 travelling kitchens; 2,000 .wagons; 50,000 horse collars. .

Build Up the Farm. If you are living on a poor farm- that is. if the land is. poor-the chances are it is your own fault. There is some land. but not very much. that can‘t be improved. By keeping the right kind of stock and by building up the soil through rotating the crops you are pretty sure to improve conditions on ghg pome‘acrea. : ~ Care of the Brood Sow. The quality of your spring crop of pigs will be determined by the kind of care you are now giving your brood sows. Don't keep them on dry feed. They need mighty little corn, but lots of roughage. Alfalfa or even clover hay will be relished. Mangels or oth- er roots could not have a better use. With this kind of feed the sows will have plenty of milk and they will not eat their pigs. In most cases the shelf on one side can be made stationary or the other made in two parts so it can be wid- ened or made narrow. These can rest on the rods at the ends and can be put in place in a moment after the saw is put in the box. height of sow. using the gas pipe for the back end and an iron rod for the front. If the height cannot be prop- erly estimated before the sow is driv- en in it can be quickly changed after- ward. The shelves on each side of the sow for the fore feet of the boar can rest at the ends of gas pipe and rod. Hog Breeding Crate. The method of construction of the crate for breeding swine is shown plainly in the accoumanyhg illustra- tion. says National Stockman. The in. nor arrangement is the part hard to understand. The long pieces with the holes in them (see cut) can he raised up or let down as required by the On the nineteenth day the chamber should be closed, to remain closed un- til the chicks are hatched. On the fit- teenth, seventeenth and nineteenth days the eggs should be sprayed with warm water to furnish sufficient mois- ture to aid the chicks in picking their way through the shell. If a sand tray is in the machine this spraying is un- necessary. The flame should be turn- ed down slightly during these last two days, as an increased temperature re- sults from the animal heat in the chicks' bodies. The chamber should be darkened if there is a glass front in the machine. This will tend to pre- \‘Cllt the chicks from forcing their way toward the front of the machine. They are supposed to sleep for twelve hours after coming from the shell. If the chamber is light they will not do this. The eggs should be cooled once a day. Start on the third day. when the eggs are first turned. It is necessary to cool them only the length of time that it takes to turn them. From the third day to the nineteenth day they should be cooled regularly. As the chicks develop they may be cooled longer each day until during the latter part of the hatch they may be cooled for almost an hour without any injury and with great benefit. may be a slight variation of tempera- turein different parts of the egg cham- ber. Cooling and Turning the Eggs Should Be Regularly Performed. Cooling and turning the eggs in the incubator is a part of the work that must be attended to promptly, regu- larly. writes W. C. Thompson in the Country Gentleman. The mother hen turns her eggs in the nest each day and leaves them to cool at about the same time each day if she has her way about it. After the third day of the hatch the eggs should be turned regu- larly each morning and evening. This may be done by removing a few and gently rolling the others about in the tray. The idea is to change the posi- tion of the developing germ within the shell and keep it free from the shell. Changing the position of the eggs on the tray is also of advantage, as there The septic tank deserves a place on every farm. It is one means of bringing city condi- tions to the farm home. The time is rapidly approachâ€" ing when dairy products. the same as all other commodities used for food. will be paid for according to quality. There is no reason why the farm home should not be just as attractive as the city home. In arranging farmhouse plans those that are adapted to the city can easily be changed to suit farm needs. Make your wife's work- shop as attractive and conven- ient as any to be found any- where. The inside of a modern dairy barn looks very different today from the inside of a dairy barn twenty years ago. We are be- ginning to realiZe that sunshine is a necessary part of dairy sani- tation.
