next Tuesday and vote the Democratic
state ticket and for the candidates Of
that party for members Of congress.
Just as surely should those who be-

men Of Republican faith vote the Re

The man chosen at Tuesdays cleo

Judge Charles r. Hughes concerning

How many soldiers has Canada fur
nished? The question has been asked
many times during the past four years.
II has not been difficult TO answer APP
proximately from visible evidence on
the battle fronts, and in the training
camps over the border. But for some
reason the Dominion government has
not made an official statement about
it until now. Canada's contribution to
the fighting forces, at the end Of June
last, amounted TO 456,566 nen. OF this
number 3S3, 523 were overseas, most of
Che units being on the west front,
says Providence Journal. The maxi
mum effort was in the year 1916, when
1858 crossed the ocean. Consider
Ing that the Canadians were at the
front in large numbers when battles
that worked havoc in the entente ranks
were being fought, 1t is not surprising
that the aggregate Of casualties is
heavy,-159.0S4. fully one-third of all
the forces and more than 40 per cent
of those actually in the field. The
dead alone number 42919, more than
10 per cent of the forces in the field.
II is customary to consider a casualty
list of 10 per cent embracing Killed,
wounded and missing, as virtually de-
stroying the fighting capacity of the
unit that suffers 1t until the losses
can be made up. Canada's army has
lost more than 80 per cent, and by
killed alone has been decimated.

The frequent fatalities reported from
tho airplane training camps of the
country have given TO some people the
impression that personal carelessness
and faulty construction have prevailed
to an lnexcusabIe extent. But the
facts now given out tend to modify
such Judgment. greatly. 1t has failed
TO take into account the large num-
bers of men engaged and the extraor-
binary measure of their combined ef-
fort. A worlds record for safety in
air trimming for war is established that
from September last year to July 20
this year there hss been but one fa-
tality TO every $500 hours of flying.

prepared BY the United States Depart.

The kind OF a floor TO build In your
poultry house-whethcr Of earth, wood
or cement--will depend on several con-
dltlons. Each Kind Of floor has It's adj
vnntages and disadvantages under GER
tain conditions with which the poultry
keeper should be familiar.
Where the soil Is light and well
drained, earth floors are economical
and sufficiently comfortable for the
fowls. Where drainage Is not good and
on heavy soils, especially those con-
taining much clay. floors OF wood or
cement are generally preferred.
Earth Floors
A floor Of earth IAeds 60 be re-
ncwcd at least once n year. II the
droppings that fall upon the floor are
carefully removed at frequent, regular
intervals, much Of the earth Is removed
with them. II the regular cleaning Of
the floor Is superficial. the earth of
the floor 10 n depth Of several inches
becomes so mixed with droppings that
is condition Is very insaniiary.
When the poultry keeper has gar.
den, the manure obtained by removing
the earth floor OF the poultry house
will compensate for the labor OF re
newing the floor, and the new earth
required can be taken from n conven.
tent spot on his own land. When the
poultry keeper must pay someone else
20 take away the old earth and brlne
I'm new, the cost will In few years
exceed the cost Of cement floor.
Cement Floors.
The principal fault Of cement floor
Is that Il is likely to be cold and damp.
These conditions may be corrected by
covering the floor 10 n depth OF an
inch or two with dry earth or sand,
using over this scratching litter of
straw or wood shavings. Floors 50
treated require as much routine work
20 keep them In good order rs earth
floors. but the supply OF clean earth
required Is much less and the work OF
annual renovation is eliminated.
Wood Floors.
Floors OF wood are not now much
used In poultry houses except wher
the space under the floor is high
enough to he occupied by poultry. A
wooden floor close to the ground soor
rots, while any space under a fiool
