As W’ar was not declared against Great Britain until August 4th, last year; but three days previous, in a secret dispatch, Sir Robert Borden offered a considerable force if neces- sary. On August 4th a reply was received that there seemed no im- mediate need. A few hours later war broke out. On August 6th Can- ada’s offer was accepted, and the same day orders were issued to mob- ilize militia.units in preparation for active service, and four days later it was decided to send a first contingent -9 an n-nn â€"‘ SIR ROBERT BORDEN, Canada’s Prime Minister. the preparation for the day of conflict that ominous and significant events indicated would not be long delayed. While this was a great disappoint- ment it did not prevent the Govern- ment continuing its policy of prepara- tion. At once a committee of the heads of all departments was formed to prepare plans to meet any emerg- ency that might arise, and their report was completed only a few \ eeks before the actual outbreak of war. _ lo, I FTER one year of the great E: struggle in which Great 3 Britain is participating in 17 order to implement her I bond, destroy militarism; and perpetuate the Empire, a review of the part Canada has played clearly ‘ shows that this country has been an‘ ‘ effective factor in the success of the! 5 allied forces and in the check admin- I istered to the overweening ambition f of the Kaiser and his junkers.

Canada’s soldiers receive the nigh- ‘ est pay of any troops engaged in the war, and the pension provisions are also the most generous.

No serious business disruption was experienced, although the outbreak of war oc- curred during a commercial depres- sion, the sequence of years of fever- ish speculation and inflated values. For our war expenditure arrange- ments were made with the Bank of England through the British Govern- ment for a line of credti to last until the cessation of hostilities when our .debt will be consolidated and repay- ment spread over a period Of fifty‘ years. There were also new revenue I measures enacted in the form of spe- I cial taxes and increased tariff im- ports. These Lave been very success- ful, and our revenue promises for the current fiscal year to regain its normal level. Recently the Minister of Finance successfully floated in New York, for domestic purposes, a loan of $45,000,000.

From Sydney to Victoria our manu- facturing plants are turning out com- pleted shells at the rate of 30,000 a day. In providing munitions and equip- ment for the allied armies Canada has played a great part. So far con- tracts for over $300,000,000 have been placed in this country. Of this huge amount $152,000,000 is for shrapnel and high explosive shells.

On the outbreak of war, however, two submarines were purchased in Seattle for the de- fence of Vancouver and Victoria against the German raiders on the Pacific, and. the Niobe and Rainbow were refitted to act as transport con- voys and to help keep trade routes open. The. British navy has, how- ever, again vindicated its supremacy, and Canada under its protection has enjoyed complete immunity from ' attack.

This is why the disease can be stOpped by the instant removal of each droopy chick and a thorough cleaning out of its droppings. Especially is this more easily done for the well if the disease does not show up in the infected until the third or fourth day. l Guarding the health of newly hatch- ’ ed chicks is of prime importance. The i first weelr is the critical time. There have been found certain degrees of infection in white diarrhea bacillus. Some carry malignant infection. some so light that not many of the chicks infected die with it. The infection passes from hen to hen by means of the nest litter. The original source of infection is from the ovary of the mother hen. The organism is in the yolk: .ghickens produced from these Eggs have the disease when hatched. The disease spreads from these to other chicks through the infected food, the water or by the normal chicks eat- 1 ing over the droppings. Infection would not: take place from chick to chick if it were not for the sick chick I .. -nâ€"nwu ens to be of high fertility. It is often a good plan in filling the incubator to place more eggs in the tray than it is expected to carry through the three weeks period. When the eggs are tested for fertility the infertile ones are removed, which usually gives plenty of room in the tray for the good eggs. In this manner a good sized hutch may be expected from the machine. Never put in the egg until the chamber has been heated for forty- cight hours. . 1¢~uw v-w.
