The many in the district interested in the keeping of fowl, and partiecuâ€" larly the large number who have taken up the keeping of poultry for profit, patriotism or pleasure tlus springâ€"or _ winterâ€"or _ summerâ€"or whatever it may beeâ€"will be interestâ€" ed to learn that the Dominion Exâ€" perimental Farm at Ottawa now has an expert who devotes all his time investigating the diseases of poultry. Dr. A. B. Wickware, Assistant Pathâ€" ologist t o the Health of Animals Branch, has hbeen appointed to this work, and his knowledge and experiâ€" ence will be at the service of all poulâ€" try keepers in Canada. _Dr. Wickware has in the past deâ€" voted much time to the study . of poultry diseases, particularly to Black Head. He will now give exelusive attention to this branch, and his inâ€" vestigations will include those reâ€" lating to chick diseases, as well as to general diseases of poultry, including parasites of all kinds. The average grade of ore was $9.20, and costs were $4.25 per ton. INVESTIGATOR FOR PODULTRY DISFASES The amount of ore hoisted was 40,792 tons, with 795 tons of waste rock, bringing the ore and waste up to 41,587 tons. Taxes for the period were $12,000. The Loyal Service Bonus amounted to $3,471,800. . The Special Bonus was $820,85. Mining ceosts were divided as folâ€" lows:â€"Exploration, $844,05; Develâ€" opment, $23,363.23; Production, $79,â€" ; total $104,004.85. HOLLINGER REPORT MONTH 0F APRIL Current assets are placed _ at $396,302 and gold assets at $426,148. For the period ending April 22nd, the following expenditures were made for plant:â€"On new mill, $19,573; on central shaft plant, $5,120; ore tranâ€" sportation system, $4,205; sundries, $523; total, $29,422.70. ning t period. The gross profits for the period totalled $194,688.20, or about only $106,000 less than for the previous period. The mill ran only 72.6 of the posâ€" sible running time as against a runâ€" ning time of 92.4 of the previous agi The statement of the Hollinger Consolidated for the four weeks endâ€" ing April 22nd, as issued last week shows that 42,849 tons of ore were treated. For the previous four weeks the amount of ore treated totalled 47,672 tons, thus there is a noticeâ€" able break in the production. The drop is not due to any conditions in the mine undergrownd, outside of the labor condition, for the condition of the mine is better than ever before in its history. The shortage of Labor and the inefficieney of some of the labor affect the Hollinger more even than the other mines, because the Hollinger is conducting operations on a large scale, employing more men, ete., and so feels the shortage and the inefficiencey to a more marked degree. Un the other hand, however, while the production is smaller in tonnage than. for a considerable period, the graidle of ore is much higher. For the period ending April 22nd the average grade of ore mulled was $9.20 per ton, while for the previous four weeks it was $8.67. Production Decreased, but Grade of Ore Much Higher for Fourâ€" Week Period. Now, however, along comes the noâ€" ted inventor Hudson Maxium â€" who announced in New York last week that lhke had perfected a device which will make ships using it immune from the dangers of the submarine. He says that tuorpedoes, even when fired at elose range, will explode harmlesâ€" sly against theâ€"hulls of their intended victims. He further said that the devise is practical for every type of vessel, that it can hbe applied in a few months at comparatively small cost, the only alteration in ships beâ€" ing a slight enlargement in their beam. The device is of solid materiâ€" al, in no sense a net or sereen, and encircles the hull from bow to stern, giving practical complete protection from torpedoes. Simon Lake has another answer to the submarine menace. His plan the submarine menace. His plan is a submarine merchant fleet. He has invented a new type of about 8,000 tons, that can be submerged in half a minute. A company has been organized to build three or four a week, after the first which will be ready in three or four months. It will burn oil, and its parts will all be standardized _ and _ interchangeable. The Company, it is said, will operate under government control. Ever since the war began inventors have been busy finding ways and means to counter the science of the enemy and overcome him with a betâ€" ter scienee. Recently the submarine menace has been in the thoughts of those of inventive turn of mind, even here in Timmins. One man here inâ€" deed, sent the Admiralty a plan for overcoming the Hun water activities to some extent, and at least the matâ€" ter went so far as to draw a letter of thanks from the British authoriâ€" ties. Hudson Maxium Prepares Device to Protect Ships and Simon Lake Suggests New Crait. Practically speaking, this is the adâ€" vice now given by Prof. Weldner, an agricultural expert at Passau, Baâ€" varia, to the Germans who complain of the food shortage. Berlin is now feeling the potato shortage. The supâ€" ply of pork is short and will be sold only on Thursdays. Another reductâ€" ion in the present restricted meat rat< ion is also being considered by the authorities for enforeement in â€" the next few months. The people are naturally alarmed over the possilnlâ€" ity of not getting enough to eat, and are making a general appeal to all high up to help. The answer that Prot. Weldner gives them is that they follow the example of Nebuchadnezâ€" zar and eat grass.. He informs them that the red elover and alfalfa both may be used for the making of tasty dishes for human consumption.

They intend to bake their own bread, and those without experience are to bhe taught by others who have the knowledge and skill. A few agâ€" reements organized after the manner adopted by these ladies would do more than hundreds of columns of newspaper talk to eurb the greed of certain degdlers in foodâ€"stuft‘s. Alâ€" ready the action of these Toronto women is having its effect, for the Jewish bakers are forward with urâ€" gent explanations and exeuses. Pubâ€" licity with a sting to it is what is reâ€" quired, and organization is necessary to seeure this. In other words the people must coâ€"operate or they will be paupers when the war ends, and the shameless profiteers, whoever they may be, will be rich enough not to pretend to care for the publhc seorn that will be visited upon them. Ten <thousand people® gathered at an openâ€"air antiâ€"conseription meeting at Qauebee last week, when more or less prominent Frenchâ€"Speaking Canâ€" adians eursed Conseription. One speaker said it was a ‘‘damned measure.‘‘ Another said he would fight ‘‘even to the death‘‘ against it. More moderate speakers demanded a referendum on the question. _ ‘The pohtical dAlavrorâ€"of meeting was suggested by the fact that there were continued cries of *‘Down with Borâ€" den,‘‘ and similar pleasantries. In Bbantford the assessors found two families, one with, fourteen chilâ€" dren and the other with twelve, all being ‘‘single"‘ children‘ as the little boy said, and not even one solitary twin among them. Families of twelve and fourteen children are rare enough in Ontario these days to make the fact a news item. Incidentally it may be mentioned that both famiâ€" ues referred to are Frenchâ€"Canadians. This latter fact, however, has not so much the nature of news.

The British Government is calling a convention of Irishmen to frame 2 constitution for Ireland, and if Irishâ€" men are able to agree upon any scheme for the administration of their country the Government will give all the necessary legislation. The matâ€" ter of Home Rule, or any other kind of rule, is thus fairly and squarely put up to the Irishmen themselves. There is no use in arguing that there is any decent reason why Irishmen should not be able to come to soms sensible conelusion from such a conâ€" vention, for the Union of South Afâ€" rica grew out of a similar conferâ€" ence between the British and _ Boer people of the country, surely their enmity equalled, or ought to have equalled, that of the squabbling Irish factions.
