This is very simple method of
feeding laying hens and there Is not
much danger in overlooking them If
they have been properly bred. For
breeding stock we would recommend a
ration composed principally of corn,
scraps. Provide plenty Of green food
and compel the breeders to take plenty
OF exercise. This will enable you to
get eggs which are fertile and which
will hatch strong. vigorous chicks
which will live. Remember that the
breeding stock should not be fed so
freely and compelled to take more ex-
ercise. Feed more whole grain to the
breeders and avoid much mash or
beef scraps.

WHO Is A REAL EPlCURE?
Perhaps He Flourishes Today as In
considerate Person.

The surfeited person who sits night
after night in cafes eating for the taste
of food, rather than for the nourlshment

how he feels the next morning. If he has
a headache or dyspepsia he is not an cpl
cure for the real epicure has strength
enough to look ahead in his pleasures
and abstain from anything which may
result in pain. To the real epicure ah-
senCe of pain is pleasure, and pleasure
is invariably his goal,
Christian criticism OF the ungenerous
philosophy of Epicurus has led to the
belief that an epicure is a voluptuary
Epicurus would turn in his grave at the
thought, for the pleasure of the original
,picuean enthusiasts was based largely
on moderation, and the voluptuary is
Stnerally given to eXtravaRaut immod-
Grafton, The epicure has even been de-
srribed as a sybarite which Is slander
or libel, as the case may be. The genu-
inc epicur'an philosophy has been pretty
clearly defined as little more than a
set OF directions for living the simple
life, with pleasure as the simplifying
medium"
From this definition it is evident that
the ep!curr might be a good sort who
from the deliberate practice of his phil

wisdom that would make him a genial

than TO augment 1t by skilful lodging.
The epicure abhorred pain, but the inn

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT
SECURES BIG TELESCOPE
Lends It's Aid to Scientific Research
Work.

Some eight months ago the Canadian
Government entered into contracts for
the construction of a 72-inch rejecting
telescope. with the j. A. Brashear Com
pany for the optical parts and the War
ner & Swasey Company for the mounting.
This telescope. which will be considerably
larger than any in use. will be of the most
modern type and will be used principally
in the determination of stellar radal We
locties, says Science. The progressive
policy of the Canadian Government in the
encoura cement of scientific research, as
evidenced by the order for this magnif-
cent instrument, has now been rendered
doubly effective by authorizing at very
considerable additional expense, the to-
tai outlay being upward Of 1000, its in
stallation in the best astronomical loca-
tion in the Dominion.
Investigations have been in progress for
upward of a year at five places, repre-
sentative of different climatic conditions
in the country. The region around Vic
toria, Il. c., so much excellcd all others,
including Ottawa. in the two most i'm
portant particulars, the seeing or
steadiness ana quality of definition.
and the small daily temperature va
ration, while being at least equal in
other qualifications, that it was strongly
recommended to the Government by the
chief astronomer as the site for the tele-
scope.
The Government of the Province of
British Columbia, on being approached for
help toward the additional cost of loca-
ton away from ottawa, generously con-
trbuted $4,000 for the purchase of the
necessary land and agreed to build a road,
which will cost about 100000, to the cho-
sen site which is at the summit of Saa-
mich Hill, altitude 1872 feet. about eight
miles north of Victoria,
Immediately on the decision of the Do
,f.,i.,
80 acres of land were purchased around
the summit of the hill, and arrangements
We're concluded for the construction of the
road this fall. This road will be upward
of mile and half in length, leading
from the main road and the electric rail-
way at the foot Of the hill by a per cent
grade to the summit.
Building operations will begin early in
1915 and the dome should be ready for
the telescope in the fall of that year.
