WHAT HAPPENS?

The need for and value of a prop-
erly staffed health deparment with an
adequate budget have been referred to
on many oceasions. It has also been
pointed out that, through the organ-
ization of Country or Reral Health
Units, the whole Dominion could se-
cure the same high type of health ser-
viee as now provided for the the resi-
dents of the larger cities.

Just what this means is cleatly
shown by the experience of the city. of
Toronto in Tuberculosis, In the year
1918, out of every 100,000 persons in
‘that city, over 100 died of Tubercul-
osis, Whereas in 1928, the number was
54. In other words, the actual num-
ber of deaths in 1928 was but hal of
what it would have been if the same
eonditions as existed ten years: prev-
jously bus persisted, This represents
the avoiding of approximately’ 800
deaths in a single year from one. dig
eUNe.

Results stich as ‘these can be secured
all over Canada, They care not ar-
rived .nt by chance, but are: a direct
result of a tremendous effort, carried
along on proper lines and consistently
inaintnined year after yeur. Such. re-
sults represent the expenditure of a
considerable sum of money. This ac-
tual expenditure, however, is consid-

erably Jess fhan it would hive been to
necessary to spend on the care of crses |

in uttempting to cure them if their, oc-
currence had not beu prevented. Add
to the cost of sickness, the value of
human life, the broken ‘homes, the
children left fatherless or motherless,
and it is plain to be seen that the in-
vestment in health work pays o very
real dividend in money and . human
happiness

However, a few of the early
maturing pullets can be selected which
will help to keep the flock contented,
and promote’ na gradual acquaintance
| with the traps and the owner.

Elimination—Every available mom-
ent should ‘be spent with the selected
flock, talking to the birds, studying
their habits and eliminating the un-
desirables. When -an alert, friendly
bird, interested in its surroundings
always ‘eating or looking for something
to consume, is noticed, eateh and leg
band her, for such a bird will gener-
ally give a good necount of herself. Be
gentle and handle the birds with care
as many n good birds chances of heavy
production is handicapped with rough
handeling, ,

Feeding—Give the pullets pienty of
dry mash, grit and oyster shell in self
feeding hoppers; clean water; scrateh
grain;feed sparingly in’ deep clean lit-
ter morning and Inte afternoon, this
encourages exercise; and regular
supply. of green feed such as kale, let-
tuce, cabbage, mangles, or finely cut
clover or alfalfa. .

the rrtions as used by the Canadian

are as follows:—Seratch grain, equal
perts by, weight of ‘the very best qual-
ity of each of wheat, cracked corn,
and oats. Dry mash—equal parts by
weight of bran,corn meal and ground
oats, 12 per cent of beef menl, Sper
cent of ground charcoal, 1 per cent of
end liver ofl, and one per. cent of fine
table salt.

It has been found at Ottawn that the
