It is a curious state of affairs and one that was not contemplated by any party or interest. In the last Parliament the Progressives were inuential, but in the new House of Commons they -will have the fate of the Govern- ment more completely in their hands. This will not be very pleasing -to` Quebec, but the people of th-at Pro- yince have themselves to`bl'ame. This will be a great opportunity for the Prairie Provinces, but they have a great responsibility for the char- acter of the next administration. The only way they can escape that responsibility is 10 follow the sug- gestion of John Evans, M.P. for Rosemont, Sask. His idea is that the Progressives should refrain rom voting on the division that will de- termine whether Mr. King or Mr. Meighen is .to be Prime Minister. 1.: LL--. .t-n-_, ;_L_L ,, Coruwa1l,Ontario.--I am now giving your medicine a fair trial and it surely ! is doing me good and I am going to keep on taking it.

He hints at trade reprisals, bu-t he knows that the Rcpiiblic hens already exploited every adivvantage it has over Britain. If the United States had a. monopoly of rubber that nation would make the most of it. Why squea when Britain does the same ? American statesmen must remember that our old Mother Country is paying them $160,000,000 a year for sixty years to liquidate its war debt. That would not mean anything to the British if their derbtors were paying their debts. But they are not. That being the case, some way must be found to offset the drain of money across the Atlantic. So, according to Mr. Hoover, Great Britain pays her war debts to the United States at the rate of $160,000,000 a year, and takes $666,000,000 excess pro- fits on rubber. Does any sane man who knows the United States be- lieve that country would act more generously than Britain if their positions were reversed ? `,.uyu.

A the C GETTING OUT THE VOTE` .........u uAA\/ nsuuat/U When the last lot of hatching eggs has been delivered the male birds should be removed from the ock, disposed of. or kept by themselves. Fertile eggs are an uncertain article in warm weather, so the aim should be the production of infertile eggs for domestic use. Germ development will start in s fertile egg at any tem- perature above 68 degrees Fahren- heit. At low temperature the de- velopment of the germ is very slow, but it may reach a point in embryo development where decomposition is likely to set in and thereby produce a condition not desired. Any motor likely to cause spoilage in eggs will be more serious in the fertile eggs than in the infertile. No one wants fertile eggs for domestic use. The removal of the males is the one s ro way of preventing troubie.--L. S o- Jzvonson, Dept. of Extension, 0. A. O. I __.___________ This disease is the most common and destructive pest affecting tur-i . -keys. It has been the cause of many ` ` a farm giving up turkey raising. The cause has been attributed to a pro- tosoan parasite, that is taken up by the bird in its feed and water. Soils . become infested, breeding birds be- , come carriers, so the young have lit- tle chance of escaping infection ii feeding over ground that has pre- viously supported turkeys. The young birds show signs of distress in the , late summer or early autumn, become listless, drowsy, stop feediiig, feathers become ruled, wings droop, and they hang behind the ock. The droppings are yellowish in color and more uid than normal. The head may become dark purple in color. The after-death symptoms generally noticed in black- head cases are as follows: Liver spot- ted on surface with whitish yellow to faded green spots, the cecum. either one or both are thickened and distended with a gray cheesy mass. Treatment for blackhead has not ` heen successful and its control lies in prevention. If troubled now, clean out the entire flock and give up tur- keys for three years. When starting again, secure eggs from healthy birds, wipe them with cloth moistened with 80 per cent. denatured alcohol to re- move any possible contagion, then hatch in the incubator. When the young poults are ready to leave the incubator place them in a brooder or \ enclosed ground and protect from` other poultry or agents likely to carry the infection to the pen. Keep the house and its equipment clean and disinfected. Use sour milk or butter- milk liberally in the ration. Keep the birds conned all the time that infection may be prevented and treat- ment applied. Powdered ipecao ad- ministered in the mash, twice a week, at the rate of two teaspoonstul per 20 birds is considered a useful pre- ventative. The use of ipecac should start when the birds are two weeks old and continue for three months. --L. Stevenson, Dept. of Etxension, 0. A. College. Nature has not clothed the young turkey with a thick coat of down or baby feathers sumciently to protect it from the cold rains that are quite common during May and June. Hence many young birds periah, dy- ing of inammation of the lungs shortly after experiencing the rst cold rain. Little can be done`-.to ef- fect a cure. Everything lies in the direction of prevention. Do not let the young birds get Wet, provide suit- able shelter, and do not let them get too far away so that they may be quickly rounded up and protected from cold and wet untll they are well-feathered.

Three diseases, pneumonia, roup and blackhead are responsible for the greater part at the losses in turkey rearing. Pneumonia. May the new year bring happiness and prosperity. ` This trouble is due to an infectious organism gaining entrance to the nasal passages of the victim and set ting up a catarrhal condition usually easily recognized by clogged nostrils, inamed mucous membrane of mouth, very offensive odor and swell- ings on sides of the head. ~Housing young turkeys in unsanitary, poorly ventilated or draughty quarters cre- ates conditions which make the bird very susceptible to the infectious or- .:anism causing roup. If the disease gains a grip on young birds, it is best to kill them off at once and correct the hygienic conditions for any that remain apparently normal. Exposed birds that are to be kept should be ziven good nourishing food and a ;-hysic of salts once a week. Birds showing symptoms may be treated, it so desired, as follows: Massage as much of the material as possible out of the nostrils, clean out the eyes. and if swellings exist open with a sharp knife. Use Boracic Acid solu- tion or potassium permanganate solution or argyrol solution (10 per cent.) as a wash for the nostrils and eyes. Such can be applied with a medicine dropper or the bird's head may be dipped in the solution. If birds do not make good recovery in 3. reasonable time it is best to de- stroy them as they will carry the injection along and may be the cause of more rou.

Cotterell, Transportation Superintendent of the Canadian Pa- cific Railway, has issued a state- ment making effective the resump- tion of the acceptance of grain for the port of Vancouver under the permit system as handled previous- ly. No tough or damp grain can be shipped on this permit. The real estate boom in Florida has been affecting the lumber mar- ket at Saint John, New Brunswick, advantageously for the past few months. A large number of ship- ments have gone forward to Miami and further consignments will go] forward with the steadily increas-! ing demands. According to a report from Van- couver, asbestos of quality as fine as that of the famous deposits from which Quebec supplies the world, has been found near Lytton, British Coiumbia. The Development Branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway is carefully examining the mineral with ` 9. view to investigating the com- 3 mercial usefulness of the product. 1 Sir John Martin Harvey, famous English actor, arrived at Saint` John, N.B., on the Canadian Pacific liner Montnairn, on December 20.` He was met by Bert Lang, manager of His Majesty's Theatre, Montreal, and advance agent for Sir John. Mr. Lang has arranged Mr. Harvey's tour through Canada, from Halifax to Vancouver. Advices from the Montreal office of the Dominion Express Company arc to the effect that one of the largest and most valuable consign- ments of pedigree black foxes ever sent out of Canada, and priced at over $100,000, had arrived in Switz- erland in perfect condition. The 64 foxes will form the nucleus of a fox- breeding ranch in Klosters, Switz- ` erland. Q Grandmothers are flappers in the Canadian West. Mrs. Edith Jones, of Leeds, Yorkshire, who sailed back to England on the Canadian Pacific liner Montclare on December 16 told how she learnt to ride horses and do farm work at Plato, Saskat- chewan. She had a great time and will endeavor to bring Grandpa, her son and her grandson back to Can- ada with her in the spring. Grain handling at the port of Montreal is in excess of the total for last year by 4,831,718 bushels, thus creating a new record in the movement of grain through this port. The total amount handled by the harbor elevators this year comes to 328,830,805 bushels, representing 163,592,846 bushels received and 165,237,959 bushels delivered since the beginning of the year. An exact replica of the Palestine made memorable by the life of Christ arrived in Montreal from Winnipeg recently on a freight car.
