'The possibilities for making a good profit from winter eggs were never better than | they are at the present time; although | many poultrymen and farmers have reduced their poultry activities during the last year, thinking that et the present high price of | feeds, profits from eggs would be impossible. However, the profit or loss from the poultry business does not depend upon feed alone. | The successful poultryman must pay the | strictest attention to all the essentials of care, feeding and management, if he is to | make his work profitable. Even the alight- est negligence on the part of the poultry- man in any of these essentials may mean the loss of many eggs. A high producing hen is like a very delicate machine, easily | put out of repair, Anything that interferes with the health of the flock for even a day | may cause high producing flock to be-| come non-producers for a period of from } two to three weeks or longer. Remember a hen lays an egg, or doesn't, never a balf. | All hens or pullets should be efficient trane- | formers of raw materials into a finished pro- | duct.

He decided to ap- point a committee and last June the speaker was ssked to accept the secretaryship. In July the Premier was persuaded that the question was one largely of finance and he was prepared to suy that two millions at 5 per cent. were to be placed at the disposal of the municipalities. Further study showed that action by the provinces alone could not be adequate, hence suggestions were made to the Domin- ion Government that it should assist. It was pointed out that capital had been di- verted during the war to other things, also that the cost of building had increased from 30 to 60 per cent, which meant $1,000 ; to $1,500 more on cost of homes than be- | fore the war. Duritig the war decreased inbabitable conditions while little building was done. As g result miany families had to double up." In one district a survey revealed that less than one-third of the houses were oc- cupied by single families, thus demonstra- ting the great need for modern homes. Other countries have grappled with the question. In England the Government had | undertaken to build up industrial villages. In these permanent homes were erected. There it has been recognized that only with com- fortable homes cen there be a contented people. Mr. Lloyd George said if the pre- tent interest had taken place twenty-five | years ago England would have had @ mil- lion more able men to go to the trenches. Federal action has been strongly urged, on the grounds that ff the State is going to demand eervice of its citizens it must have contented citizens. We found that the Federal Government was thinking about it and we are not surprised at the announce- ment that $25,000,000 would be set apart toward the movement. In December the Provincis! Government announced its policy toward the municipali- ties. The Act has not yet been passed, but much has been determined upon. Among other*things, loans will be given to munici- palities at 5 per cent. these to be paid on certificates of progress. It will be loaned to build inexpensive houses, of four, five or six_rooms. : The place of the municipality is recog- nized, though it would be possible to go over them' and-loan to companies and indi- Viduals direct. 'The: municipality 'acts x a responsible intermediary, as through it the \ money passes to the borrower. The amount 'of the loan is fixed at 85 per cent. in the case of housing companies. By the Act of 1914 a housing company may be for and it can have its bonds guaranteed to 85 per cent. The main purposes of the com- pany are that it must be supplying a need. 'The divide the company are limited to 6 per. cent. A member of the Council must' be on the: Board and the books open at_all times for inspection.

It is the opinion of all who h seen "Hearts of the World" that Mr. Grif-! fith has outdone his own best achievements and has established a new artistic record which it will take years and years for some- one to equal, if indeed such a thing i po sible. |the Experimental St drama begins when the German hordes enter ¢ profit, he is bound to be more successful than the poultryman who has to pay the winter's board of his flock from his spring egg production During the months of November, Decem. ber and Januury, the egg production at n, Charlottetown, from a pen of 50 White Leghorn pullets s November 150, December 623, January making a total of 1544 eggs.
