PITUITARY FEEDING FOR POULTRY

We have heard much about glandular experimentation made upon humans
but a Dr. L. N, Clark has turned his endocrine knowledge into a field of ef-
fort which should be of great interest to poultrymen. Prof, Schafer check-
ed up the following results of Dr. Clark’s treatment, which consisted of feed-
ing chickens pituitary extract.

In the first experiment, 35 white Leghorn hens, as well as two cockerels

of the same breed with which they were mated, each regeived daily during
eight days the equivalent of 20 milligrams (0.0006 ounces) of fresh pituitary
substance in addition to their usual food. By the fifth day the egg produc-
tion of the batch was raised from an average of 18 per day to 33; the bene-
ficial effect, although diminishing, was maintained for several days after the
pituitary had been taken off. And not only was the output of eggs largely
increased as compared with the controls, but the fertility of the eggs and
the hatching out of the ehicks was extraordinarily enhanced. In order to
test the matter further, a second experiment was performed with as many as
655 one-year-old white Leghorn hens (kept without males) the same dose as
before given to each hen during four days. The average daily number of
eggs laid by the batch during the four days preceding the pituitary feeding
‘was 233; during the four days ding the ad tion, 352. These
experiments were made at a time of the year when the egg production of the
hens was tending to diminish rather than to increase.

A SENSIBLE PROPOSAL

The West Coast Lumberman’s Association is advocating a plan of refore-
station, citing the stand of merchantable saw timber in the State of Wash-
ington as 283 billion feet, which at the present rate of cutting will last but
80 years. One third of this stand comprises national forests.

British Columbia, with now the largest remaining stand of merchantable
timber on the ‘American continent, is receiving increasing attention from
U.S. lumber operators who are acquiring extensive limits as quickly as they can
be secured. So reforestation should also receive the consideration of Cana-
dians.

Considerable of the logged-off land is useless except for the production
of new forest, and when it is remembered that Zome of the giants of the for-
est now standing are hundreds or thousands of years old, it becomes evident
that re-seeding if undertaken, should be done as soon as possible.

‘TWAS ALWAYS THUS

Magistrate Plewman of Rossland, in sentencing a Mrs. Polleto for beer-
selling last week, made some hard’ raps at the Liquor Act. He said he knew
the chief offenders were not before him and the public was entitled to know
why the small] offenders were prosecuted and the big ones were not. Yet
under the Liquor Act he was compelled to sentence Mrs. Polleto to a month
in jail, while under the criminal code of Canada an individual could be re-
leased on suspended sentence with a fino.

Mrs. Polleto is proprietress of the Hoffman house, a widow in frail
health, and was found guilty mainly because her permit showed the purchase
of several barrels of beer during August.

The News agrees with Magistrate Plewmdn. Now the Act is being so
severely enforced, why not nail some of the big operators in the city for a
change? i

GREATER THAN ALL
Co-operation is the life of a town.

It is well for us to keep these facts in mind when we consider the affairs
of this town.

Antagonism is its death,

We all want community life. Noneof us want stagnation and death,

Of course we do not all think the same, and is well that it is so. Diver-
sity of thought and expression bring out the best and the worst of every
question that we have to consider,

The advocates of all sides having placed their views before the public,
it then becomes the proyince of the people to judge as to which will conform
most to their interests, and adopt that course.

It is then that co-operation creates, or antagonism destroys.

It is then that we show up as loya] and progressive citizens, or as mere
trouble makers.

Co-operation is greater than all of the seven wonders of the world,—Kent
Adyertiser-Journal.

THOSE ‘‘CHESTY’’ GREENHORNS
Miss Moore, London social correspondent for an Eastern Canadian week-

ly, commenting moderately upon the conduct of some Americans at an

important ceremony which she attended,say

came to do honor totheir President. 1t was
kept their places whem the Duke of York came in, Also during the play-
ing of the music for which all British people rise. Was this on principle,
one wonders, or was it merely ignorance of what is usual.’?

We border residents are quite familiar with this Yankee type, who hap-
pily does not represent the average citizen of his country, any more than the
well known Old Country specimen, who enjoys giving us ‘‘ Colonials’? the
supercilious once-over, then telling us why. One reason for these people is
usually a narrow education combined with a previously insular and local
environment, Graduating from common-school history readers, written with
the usual patriotic prejudices and pery , to the ind , ; swallow-
ing of Heart journalism—or the shilling novel—a type of citizenis produced,
who, when making his debut upon foreign soil may be guaranteed an expen-
sive and unpleasant tour, or to get his block knocked off. Further, forcing
self-conscious notion of national superiority upon the people in whose
country he is a guest, and trampling upon their customs, indicates a strain
of cheap snobbishness ag palpable as it 4s rudey A
