Ths attendance was unusâ€" ually large, between two and three hunâ€" dred bsing present at the Masonic hall for the oczasion and all having a very delightful evening.

The results of the voting was a surprise to many and it was felt at the time that several good men had been defeated, but at the same time all recognized that a firstâ€"class council had been elected. C. V. Gaiâ€" lagher won ty a majority of 25 over J. E. Cook for the reeveship, and the councillors sclected were: Jules St. Paul, 186 votes; Fred LaForest, 183; E. Kimâ€" terley, 155; D. R.

G. Williams of the hockey league made a point of seeing that the game started sharp on time and pointed cut that all the games for the season were to start the same way, in justice to the fans and the game in general. The game, while more or less oneâ€"sided was by no means an easy win, the town havâ€" ing to work hard for the victory. Both teams showed lack of good work and the necessity for practice and also improvement in the physical condition of the players. The following were the players: â€" Hollingerâ€"Bass, goal; L.

Twenty years ago The Advance referâ€" red to the fact that at the time there were only three dog team race events of any importance on the continent, others of previous years having faded away. The three big dog races, known far and wide were the Hudson‘s Bay Dog Race and the Porcupine Dog Race at Timâ€" mins. The Porcupine Dog Team Race commensed in 1916. The Winnipegâ€"St. Paul event started a year later. "The Pas event is looked upon as the king of Telegram:â€"All that glitters is not gold, and many a fur coat is desconded from a rabhbit family. and the old year was danced out and the new year danced in with pleasure to all present.

Cloudy in Germany with the likelihood of disturbances." Evidently, the iCzechs have retained their sense of humor, and as one paper puts it, "that is a great help in nazty weather." During the five lectures at Matheson, Mr. Knights discussed in detail the various features of the poultry industry such as housing, incubation, rearing, feeding, general care and management, crate fattening, marketing, etc., and in addition presented the results which had been obtained from numerous exâ€" periments conducted at Kapuskasing. These include: cost of operating incuâ€" bators and brovoder stoves; cost of rearâ€" ing chicks; cost of egg produzction; the value of lights versus no lights; skimâ€" milk versus meat seraps; sprouted cats versus clover leaves; snow versus water; home grown rations versus commercial rations and the advantages of crate fattening. The above lectures were supplementâ€" ed by the showing. of a set of 60 slides prepared by the Publicity and Extenâ€" sion Division of the Dominion Departâ€" ment of Agriculture at Ottawa. As Brocf? of the above obssrvation Mr. Knights cited some of the remarkâ€" asle records which had been established by the fiock of BRarred Plymouth Rocks kept cn the Farm at Kapuskasing. For example it had been the practics to pick out the best 80 birds on the plant each spring for pedigree mating. The average production of these 80 selected birds during their pullet year had been as high as 241 eegs each; several birds had reached a record of 300 or over and one outstanding bird namely Old K. 53 had actually laid 964 eggs during her lifetime. This latter bird‘s producâ€" tion by years was as follows: Pullet year 312; second year 206; third year 198; fourth year 150 and fifth year 98. Even as early as December this preâ€" sert winter the average production of the entire flock of pullets had reached 75 per cent and a year ago this week they were laying over 79 per cent. In his opening remarks Mr. Knights pointed out that the guesswork had been removed forever from the possibilâ€" ity of the Foultry Industry in the North by the tremendous amount of Experiâ€" mental and Reseatrch work which had been carefully carried on at the Domâ€" ‘inion Experimental Station at Kapusâ€" kasing, since the Poultry Division had been‘ established, at that Institution in 1921 Experimental data gathered during the last 20 years had proved that the climatic conditions as they existed in this particular part of the province preâ€" sented no unsurmountable difficulty or barrier to the obtaining of high and profitable egg production even during the coldest of weather so long as the birds were selected from high proâ€" ducing strains; were provided with well constructed, though not necessarily exâ€" pensive houses, which were properly operated as to sanitation; ventilation, etc.; and were judiciously fed with good quality farm grains, most of which could be successfully produced in the North. It was of course necessary to include in the ration certain suppleâ€" mentory feeds such as animal protein, mineral matter, green feed and cod liver cil. Matheson, Jan. 13.â€"The highlight of the Short Course in Agriculture at twatheson during the sesond week, Jan. | 8 to 12, was 5§ lectures on the subject of Poultry Keeping in Northern by Mr. J. K. Knights, B.S.A., a member . of the Dominion Experimental Statin [Staff at Kapuskasing. For example, he stated that previcus to that time there was little or no inâ€" fcrmation available as to what actually a workable and satisfactory type of poultry house for the accommoâ€" dation of heavyâ€"laying birds during the severe weather of the winter months, as existed in that large area lying North of the Height of Land. Special Speaker Last Week, J. K. Knights, of Kapusâ€" kasing. Poultry Keeping Discussed at Short Course at Matheson THE PORCUPINE ApVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Councillor Miss Ellen Terry was givâ€" en a regular ovation as she rose in reâ€" sponse to the call upon her for an adâ€" dress. In referring to the result of the recent municipal election, she said her effort would be to continue to be worthy of the confidence given her. Personâ€" ally, she felt that the town could not ask for a better council. Her experiâ€" erce, after several meetings, led her to believe that the members of council were working in the fullest harmony and coâ€"operation and with but the one thoughtâ€"the welfare of the people of Timmins. Most people, Miss Terry said, do not realize what the firemen face in the regular course of duty, and it was a pleasant knowledge to realize that they met each task and difficulty with full courage and resourcefulness. In lighter vein, Miss Terry referred to the way the firemen often late at night or early in the morning went by her apartments, waking her up with noise of the trucks, the sound of the siren, the clung of the gong,"yet always passâ€" irg by." With humorous phrase, she pointed out that she had no partner Firsa Chief Borland, when called upon, said that of all the successful banquets in the past twentyâ€"three years, this appeared to ‘be one of the very best, prcbably because there was the added attraction of the presence of the ladies. He asked the full interest of all memâ€" bers of council, and assured them that though he might ask for many things during the year, there would be no reâ€" quests for anything that was not really needed and everything would be done with the idea of protecting life and propenty from injury by fire. There was often criticism of the fire departâ€" ment, he said, and he did not believe that such criticism should be stiflied. "I always welcome constructive criticâ€" ism," he said. "That is the way proâ€" gress is made? As for complaints, he urged the council to investigate them and to withhold judgment until the faats were made clear. Chief Borland gave tribute to ‘the interest and effiâ€" ciercy of the salaried firemen and the volunteers alike, and the harmony exâ€" isting in their ranks and adding to their efficiency. Councillor Karl Eyre, chairman of the Fire and Light Committee this year, said he did not pretend to know much about fire, and what he did know he did not like. "For ons thing, I know it‘s red," he said, "and I haven‘t any use for anything Red." As chairman of the PFire and Light Committee, he thanked Chief Borland for the notable service he had given the town in ithe past 23 years. "I hope and expect to see him round out a full quarter of a centurys effisiont service as fire chief of Timmins," he added. Councillor Eyre also took cccasion to express apâ€" preciation for the efficient and generâ€" us service given on the volunteer fire brigade by exâ€"Councillor Jack Morriâ€" son, who had been secretary of the brigade for over twenty years. There was also a spzscial word of praise for Alvin Leach, the .chairman of the volur‘eer branch. Councilior Eyre conâ€" cluded with a wellâ€"deserved tribute to Mrs. Rorland, who had been a worthy helpmate to the Pire Chief, and a reâ€" gular Mother to the boys of the Fire Department. As Councillor Eyre sat down there was a loud and insistamt demand for a speech from Mrs. Borland, who reâ€" sponded briefly but effectively, telling of her constant interest in the boys of the brigade, and her pride in the su>â€" cess that they had won in their good work as firefighters. Mr. Desjardins, of the Ontario Firs Marshal‘s offics, Toronto, who happenâ€" ced to be here on business, and was inâ€" vited to the event as one of the special guests, was called upon and responded in very pleasing way. He said it was his first visit to Timmins and to hav> the good fortune to be present at such an event certainly gave him a happy impression of the town and district, where friendship and harmony seemed to be the keynotes, He referred to the fact that he had heard much about Fir2 Chief Borland in different parts of the country, and now sseing the organizaâ€" tion behind him and the spirit of the pecple he realized how efficiert and suczessful Chisf Borland was in his hosen calling and why his wide reputaâ€" tion was so well deserved. "In these days of war," said Mr. Desjardins, "we think of the gallamt soldiers who are our defenders. Ths firemen are our soldiers and defenders in times of war and of, peace alike. They have a standing declaration of war against the enemy fire, and ‘they wage constant Ekattle to defend cur homes and our lives from this cruel foe." slaff full csâ€"operaticn in the present year as in the past.
