sadly, aud l happen to know that a
good part of it could have been pre-
vented had be been as observing and
industrious as the other fellow.
1t is tstonishing how often we are
asked how to prevent lice and how to
get rid OF them. For the benefit of
several recent questiontrs I'll say
that the use of any of the standard
disinfectants, together with a reason
able degree of cleanliness with regard
to roosts and nests, will keep the
vermin from ever getting much of
start. Lice may get started, however,
in number of curious ways. For
example, a coop borrowed from
neighbor to use in shipping to mar
ket, may happen to be infested with
them. Or your neighbours fowls and
your own wallowing side by side with
only strip of wire netting between
them. Such a fence is not louise
proof. And the old roosters are SO
lazy that they make ideal nurseries
for the vermin and should be closely
inspected once in a while. 1t you
find no lice on them you may be sure
the whole flock is all right. Two ap-
plications of good insect powder,
about four days apart, is the best
method OF getting rid of them. Dip
ping is not recommended, except
possibly in midsummer, and the use
of revolving churn or barrel powder
injurious to the fowls.

lays before them the proposition to
form a circle or association for SELL
ing. Ii the meeting decides to organ
lie, a board of directors OF seven
members is elected, and these select
a president, vice president and sec
rotary, with sometimes an executive
committee. The directors employ a
manager, whose duty it is to collect
and ship eggs. The managers pay is
usually in the form of commission
of one cent a dozen eggs in spring
and summer and two cents a dozen
for the rest of the year. In some
cases the local grocer, instead Of OPP
posing the egg circles, co-operates
with them and is elected manager.
Members of egg circles pay a mem
bership fee of 80 cents and an annual
fee of 25 cents. They receive a spe
cial stamp and pad, which remains
the property of the association and
may be recalled it abused. The
stamp shows the registered number of
the egg circle and the individual
member. In this way the origin of
the eggs may be traced.
One of the aims Of the association
is to improve the quality of eggs.
To that end each member is pledged
not to turn over to the manager any
egg over a week old The member is
obliged to gather eggs twice day in
warm weather and once day in cold.
and is asked to comply with rules
for keeping eggs cool and unexposed.
Already the quality OF eggs has i'm
proved. Formerly five per cent we're
unfit for consumption when distrib
uted. The circle eggs "have proved
almost entirely disable and with a
high percentage of the choicest
grades" Naturally higher prices
follow.
Reason for governmental encourage
ment of egg production may be found
in the large imports consumed by
Canada For the year ending March
81, 1913, the United States furnished
nearly all of the Ii, 24O, Ill dozen i'm
ported and valued at So, 1888, $685. The
egg circles are distinctly educative as
we'll as profitable to members. The
quality Of poultry as we'll as the quail
ity of eggs has been improved. The
association managers ship to the big
Wholesale houses of Montreal and

COOPERATIVE EGG CIRCLES OF
CANADA.

A cooperative egg circle movement
in Prince Edward Island, Canada, is
described by Wesley Frost, American
consul there. In some respects it is
similar to the Puyallup q Sumner
Fruit Growers Association, which
has had marked success in the mar
keting of products of the Puyallup val
ley soil. The egg circles of Canada
have mostly been organized by a
poultry expert in the employ of the
Dominion of Canada. Thus they
have a kind of governmental sanction,
though one of the expressed purposes
Of the circles is to obtain the highest
price possible for eggs. But mas
much as the circles are not large
enough to exercise a monopoly. they
are encouraged rather than oppressed.
There are 13 egg selling associations
OF Prince Edward Island with an
aggregate membership of about 500.
The largest circle has 50 members and
the smallest 36. The results are SO
satisfactory that it is likely more as
sociations will be formed. Better
prices have been obtained for eggs by
these associations than by unorgan-
lied neighbors, the difference being
from two DO five cents a dozen.
That means a good deal of money in
the course of year for poultrymen
who have gone into the bu siness on a
large scale.
Mem bers of the staff of the DEPART
ment of agriculture of the province
of Ontario originated the egg circle
movement. In that province there
are several circles, and their success
came to the attention OF the Domin-
ion government, which employed one
OF the Ontario experts to go to Prince
Edward Island, heavy producer of
eggs, and organize the poultrymen.
The method of organiza ton is de-
scribed substantially as follows:
The government expert arranges a
public meeting of poultrymen and

In poultry raising, as in every 9TH
er business, to be successful one must
both earn and save. The leaks must
be stopped, the waste reduced to a
minimum. Excess OF food goes to
Improbable fat. The annua loss
due to careless feeding alone must
total enormous figures. Another
source of loss is the marketing OF
fowls alive instead of dressed. There
is no other work about the place that
will net the poultry raiser as much
for his time as the dressing of fowls
for market. And time spent in the
prevention of disease is prOftably
spent; how prohtably one may realize

English Member of Parliament
Describes Scenes Before
Antwerp Fell.
LIFE OF NATION ARRESTED
BY GERMAN OCCUPATION
People From Towns and Villages
Have Fled. Leaving All Behind,
Investigator Declares.

J. H Whitehouse. a member of the
English parliament. and parliamentary
secretary to David Lloyd George, chan
cellor of the British eXchequer, has
written a moving account of a visit to
Belgium. which he made to ascertain
the condition and needs of the civil
population there. which has been sent
to The Star by it's London correspon-
dent under date of October 2.
Ten days ago today Mr. Whitehouse
was in Antwerp. and was there an eye
witness of the remarkable change
which came over the city upon the ap-
proach of the German armies, under the
influence of which he has drawn
graphic picture of the transformation
wrought, which will be of especial IN
terest to the public today, in view OF
the cable dispatches announcing that
the Germans have wrested the city from
the Belgian and English troops and
have now set up their own government
there with an attempt to draw PACK
TO it the thousands Hho have fled from
it IN terror.
Describes Belgian Sights.
Mr.. Whitehouse's article. written In
the Belgian scenes he describes, Is IN
part as follows:
Il visited Belgium with the object OF
ascertaining the present condition and
needs of the civilian population in the
districts occupied by the German army
Having always regarded war as the
negation of all that IS good, L desired
to see what its ravages were In a
country exposed to all its fury. and
what steps were possible TO mitigate
them. | was received by the members
of the Belgian cabinet with the utmost
courtesy They gave me every pos
sibIe facility for seeing their country,
and their anxiety throughout was that
I should have as full knowledge as pos
sible of the conditions In order TO give
here an accurate report.
I do not think any one here mas
realized the plight of the civilian popu-
lation in Belgium today, and / can
only attempt to give any picture OF tnls
by describing some of my own ex-
periences. it was the desire OF the
government that I should see for my
self the conditions created by the Ger
man occupation. On the morning OF
Saturday, September 26. was informed
that 1T would be possible for me to be
taken as far as Termonde, and we
started at midday in two military cars,
attended by a staff officer and others.

bridge across the Scheldt. to the south
west OF the city. and / was shown the
nature of the defenses around Antwerp.
OF these l do not prpose to speak. L
was also enabled to estimate something
OF the damage which the Belgians had
had to infiict upon themselves in or
der to supplement the defenses of their
city Hundreds of thousands OF trees
had been cut down. so that at points
of the journey We had the impression
of passing through wilderness of
