The actual plan upon which the demonstration is based consists in selecting fortyâ€"eight healthy cockâ€" erels from the flock of each of several poultrymen, banding them and leaving oneâ€"half on range and placing the other half in fattening crates. After approximately three weeks of fattening both fattened and unfattened groups will be killed, ‘dressed and _ carefully graded so as to indicate the imâ€" provement brought about through crate feeding. A demonstration of improveâ€" ment in quality through crate fatâ€" tening of cockerels is being carâ€" ried out by officers of the Dominâ€" ion Department of Agriculture in coâ€"operation with the Brockville Coâ€"operative Egg and Poultry Pool and with the Secretary of the Canadian Produce Association. In view of the fact that a great deal of poor quality dressed poultry is still coming on to the market, it was felt that an actual demonâ€" stration carried out unon the farms of representative producers would Brixg home the fact of imâ€" proved grades through fattening in a way which would appeal to the producer of market birds. Fattening Poultry Value Is Shown Quality of Cockerels Improves Those who type words where the letters are not all struck with an equal force are sensitive and are usually possessed of a great deal of personality. A letter which has been typed at a continuous speed and the letters are all struck with virtually the same force indicates that the writer is generally good in several fields, but not necessarily specialized in any. The "pounder" who makes deep imprints in the paper is easily disâ€" tracted and is generally not a good concentrated. A person who uses an overly wide margin and especially a wide margin for the beginning of a paraâ€" graph is highly sensitive. Not All Struck Alike A very small margin or no marâ€" gin at all at the beginning of a paragraph means the person is lacking in good taste, is inclined to be miserly and overly frugal conâ€" cerning small things.

In one Ontario small town, two years ago, we remember, someâ€" body chopped down the little trees in the local cemetery and sold them at a handsome price. CHRISTMAS TREE TRADE: A growing industry in Canada during recent years is the export of Christmas trees to brighten homes across the U. 8. border. Did you know that approximately 700,000 Ontario snruce, pine and balsam trees will be exported to the United States this Yuletide season? That half a million more are marked for Canadian homes?

There will be reductions in the duties on canned foods, electric washers and refrigerators, furniture, leather, boots and shoes. Canadian women will appreciate the lowered tariff on cosmetics, perfumes, jewelry, A significant point to note is that Canada is becoming more and more involved in the American orâ€" bit, both in foreign policy and in domestic matters, as the two conâ€" tinents of North and South Amerâ€" ica prepare to defend themselves against the ageressions of Gerâ€" many, Italy, Japan.
