CANADA HAS A BIG
FORCE At THE FRONT
SIXTY THOUSAND SOLDIERS
FROM DOMINION FIGHTING
IN FRANCE

Otta, April GA memorandum
summarizing the work of the depart
ment of militia in connection with the
war during the past twelve months
was presented to parliament by Sir
Robert Borden as preliminary to
the request which will come in day
or so for the voting of $250,OOO,0OO to
provide the sinews of war for the
coming financial year.
Perhaps the most interesting infor-
nation given is that Canada had act
"ually at the front on March 18 last,
about 10000 troops, or practically
three complete divisions. Also, In
England or in passage to England on
that date there were $4,000 troops.
In Canada, there were $4,000
troops.
OF the $4,000 troops in England,
about half are at Shorncliffe as one
training division under Brigadier Cen
eral J. c. MacDougal; while another
training division is at Bramshott un-
der Brigadier General Lord Brooke.
1t is intended as soon as the wealth
er permits, to concentrate the men
in training in Canada at seven camps
for the summer, namely, at London,
at Niagara, at Petawawa with a de-
tachment at Barriefeld), at Valcar-
tier (including the Quebec and the
Maritime Provinces men), at Camp
Hughes, Man., at Vernon, B. c., and
at the Sarcee Reserve in Alberta, near
Calgary.
The housing of the troops in Can
ada for the winter months cost total
of 1858, ,130, while for the housing of
guards, prisoners of war, the estab-
fishing of convalescent homes, etc.,
the cost was S147, ,135.

HUNTING SEASON IS
CUT RATHER SHORT
BIRDS WHICH ARE SHOT FOR
SPORT ARE BIG BENEFIT
TO STATE

Hannaford, N. D., April 6.'-North
Dakota hunters this year may be
forced to forego the shooting Of large
numbers of prairie chickens, snipe
and other birds which have been prey
in the past to the bag and gun of the
expert nimrod, and take up the target
practice or other form of divertise-
ment dear to the heart of every "gun-
ner."
Owing to the almost complete de-
struction of prairie chicken eggs by
frost, the Manitoba government has
decided to take steps to preserve
these birds from determination this
year and is arranging with authori-
ties of North Dakota for joint action
in regard to plover, snipe, woodcock
and sandpipers whose activities
would secure the country an anual
loss of s8O,OOO,OOO from weeds and
insects.
Last year a heavy frost after the
prairie chicken eggs had been laid
caused the freezing of the egg, with
the possible exception of the few that
were in sheltered places, and with a
flood following the destruction was
completed.
1t is the plan of the North Dakota
officials to shorten the period in which
chickens may be hunted this year, in
order that they may be saved from
absolute determination.
Plover, snipe, woodcock and sand
pipers in the northwest also have been
killed off to large extent, and it is
the purpose Of the officials to take
steps to protect these birds from fur
ther depredations for a time, in order
that their number may be strength
Millions of dollars are saved annu-
ened.
ally by these birds through the de-
struction of insects and weed, and to
have them in large numbers in any
country is an asset to the locality.
Unless, steps are taken at once TO
preserve the fishing resorts of the
state, this pastime may also be wiped
out Of existence.
On account Of the extremely ssvsee
winter, and the alternate thaws and
freezing of the water and snow on the
surface of the various lakes and riv-
ers, fish in these streams are In dan
ger Of suffocation.
Air is excluded altogether from en-
tering the water of the lake through
the series of alright chambers form
ed by the ice and snow on the surface.
In some instances, steps have been
taken to keep the lakes open in order
that the fish may be given air.

 TODAY'S POEM
THE OPEN AIR.

Give me the sky and the open range, The rolling hills and the verdant sod The face of the prairie, ever strange, And solitude that tells of God. The century plant that rears it's pole Above the plain in it's rugged pride The trail to the distant water hole And glare and gleam of the bare
 hillside. Give me the verve and the spirit thrill When the dawn is breaking in the
 east,
 Spreads for the eye a beauty feast: While the dew that dampens hair and
 face
 G1ints in the light of the waking
 morn, With sparkle that a crown would As it trembles on the 1eafIess thorn Give me the yelp and the lonesome Of prairie wolf when the day is
 done, The steaIthy flight of the. prairie owl And the sense of loss when light is While the stars like jewels stud the The air is sweet as an infants And the prairie breeze is stealing by. As calm and cool as the shade of
 death. Give me the trail and the lowing herd. The binding dust and the thirsty
 way The watch at night when run is
 feared,
 And lots of work through the busy And you may retain the counting
 room,
 The desk, the books and the office
 chair With their luxury, their ease and
 gloom
 For I love and need the open air. H. Harrison in the Springfield

INTERNATIONAL EGG
 LAYING CONTEST
Report for the Twenty y-ninth Week
 Ending May 21, 1916.

The hens in the laying contest at Storrs eased off a bit in the twenty ninth week They laid 4,5aS eggs, nearly 200 less than for the preceding week, but 420 more than for the third week in May last year. There are some good birds and good layefS in the White Rcck class, still no entry of this variety has been able to get first place until the current week when Albert T. Lenzen's pen from North Attleboro, Mass, led all other pens with a production of 59 eggs. Two pens of Rhode Island Reds own, ed by Homer P. Deming, Winsted, Conn, and Laurel Hill Farm, Bridge 58 eggs each. A. B. Brundage's pen of Rhode Island Reds from Danbury, Conn. Branford Farms White Leg horns from Groton, Conn.,, and the gons'' from Corvallis, Ore, all tied for third with 57 eggs each.
 The heavy breeds that have been doing more than their share are now largely responsible for the slightly decreased yield. There is a pen of thirteen eggs to their total score but there were seven birds in this pen that were broody. There were like wise seven broody hens in a pen of Rhode Island Reds and this pen add ed only twenty eggs to their total rec ord whereas the average for all pens was a little over 5 eggs.
 The Storrs Experiment Stations de- partment of Economic Zoology has just issued a well il1ustrated twenty six page bulletin on Lice and Mites.

I often wonder how it can help stretching the Lords patience to see those people who were never intended to be mated rushing into the holy bonds of matrimony only to live mis- erably unhappy ever after. A youth meets pretty miss in her early teens, adnaires her and, imagining the strange huttering at his heart to be Iove-which he has heard so much about-proposes marriage after scarce half a dozen meetings. He does not earn enough to more than keep him self decently, but for all that, if she consents, they rush for marriage h- 'cense and are speedily made one.
 The youthful bride, fully as foolish as the youth she has welded, has not even asked where the bread and but ter are to come from. and they face the world a most pitiable example of a reckless marriage. How they manage to exist for ever so short a while upon his earnings can better be imagined than described. It's a case of living from hand to mouth. Meanwhile they grow poorer and poorer. The girl has been brought up shirl1ing work, find ing her chief amusement in flirting and attending movies. That she is ex- pected to work after riage-cook, wash, iron, sew and scrubAappals her. If a little one comes into their home she is more upset than ever. She
  should be cared for. She could not cut out a garment for it or herself and put it together if her life depended on it.
 Both wake up to the conclusion that welded life is not the rosy dream they thought it was going to be. With hardships, romance and admiration take flight. If in the close bond which holds them love develops, they can and will face the future bravely. Baby gives an added stimulus to their am bition. If fascination has worn itself out they cling together only for the sake of the child who has tied the heartstrings of both together in an un- breakable knot
 Tears alone can bring wisdom. If the wife is brought to the realization that she, after all, is the home mak- CT. total, wreck can be avoided by her turning over a new leaf, studying economy and practicing it.
 Every girl who aspires to the re- sponsibility of becoming a wife should ted for it. She should know the great value of doing her own marketing, buying nutritious foods wisely, and the an-in1portant science of cooking and utilizing the left-overs. She should know how to make her own clothes. She who has bent over them, patiently putting in every stitch, will be apt to take care of them.
 Many young married couple that have entered the welded state with scarcely a, thimb1efu1 of sense in either brain have developed into thrifty pair, exemp1ifying the old saw that

 Youths and maidens in their early days will tread the path they are en- couraged to enter. Young men should be warned of the gravity of taking a wife before they are able to support one comfortably. Young girls should not be allowed to wed until they are competent to take full charge of a home of their own. But what's the use of advising? Young men and wo- men lose their heads completely when they fall in love. So there you are

Potatoes.'


 To prepare potatoes with cheese. for a hot dish, cut the potatoes into thin round slices as for German fry ing. Let the slices stand in cold water for a few minutes; then put a layer of them in baking dish, dab each slice with butter and sprinkle with pepper, salt and grated cheese, and a small amount of flour, for the flour acts in the manner of a cream sauce when it is cooked. When the dish has been filled after this fashion, pour over it a mixture formed of the yolks of two eggs, we'll beaten and a pitn of milk seasoned with pepper and salt. Let this stand for a while before baking, then put into a good oven, but not too hot as the potato must cook thoroughly and slowly to be good! It must be served in the dish in which it has been cooked.
 When frying potatoes in the Ger man style, it will be found that coarse salt is better for seasoning than table salt.
 Mashed potatoes. when made with plenty of butter and with cream in stead of milk, are vastly superior to the kind of usually served.
