in rnnnection with the stage of lactation the condition of the cow at calving time markedly affects ihe milk test. A cow that is fat at ih.s time. especially one of the lower testing breeds. will produce milk for several weeks that has an 8ppIPClflbiy higher fat test than iinrnial.

Care '0! Baby Chicks A

Before your chicks arrive this spring, be sure to check your brooder house to see that there are no draughts, plenty of sun- light, and good ventilation. The building should be washed and disinfected with lye and hot wa. tei. The broader stove should be in operation for a couple of days before the chicks arrive. The corners of the building are fenced off and the floor covered with paper and clover chaff or sand.

The temperature of the broad- er house 2 inches off the floor at the outer edge of the canopy should be 90-95”? for the first week. A 5"? drop in temperature each week is recommended until a temperature of 80”!” is reach- ed. After 80”F has been reach- ed. the temperature is generally lcwr.-red gradually according to the outside temperature.

A floor space under the hover of 8-10 sq. ins. for lcgliorn chicks and 10-12 sq. ins. for larger breeds is required, so a hover 56 inches in diameter will accommodate 250 lrghorn chicks or 225 chicks of the larger breeds. The broader licuse should provide plenty of room, a minimum of 50 sq. ft. of floor space per 100 chicks is rcquired for the first 6 weeks, and alter 6 weeks, the floor space should be doubled.

A precaution against chilling would be to place a guard around the hover for the first few days. The guard should be moved farth- er and farther from the liovcr and discarded entirely when the chicks have learned to return to the source of heat.

Chicks do best on a 2l'7n pro. loin ration for the first 7 weeks. and then gradually change in an H395 protein ration between the 7th and 8th weeks. The fihrc content of a Chick's ration is very important. and experiments have slown that chicks do-best on in ration containing about 5'78. A small amount of whole oats may be fed at 8 weeks of age in con- lunction with the mash. provid- ing some acid insoluble grit is fed as the oats contain a hard fibrous hull.

Rural Entertainment

Federation is sponsoring two com- petitions which should help your local clubs. First, there is a (le- hating contest which is new anrl different. Other years difficulty was experienced in obtaining en- tries because many clubs felt their numbers were too inexperienced This is overcome by giving clubs is chance to compete in their own club. Each club is to have two teams and every club will be de- bz-ting on a simple topic. "Re- solved that country life offers more advantages to young people than city life." Three judges have l.ecn chosen to score all debates. The 'two clubs with the highest scores will debate on a final topic for a trophy.

The second competition is in connection with the old game of skill. Croklnole. It is becoming popular and many communities are sponsoring crokinole parties. It is easy to I-lily. and two meni- bers under 31 of any rural or- ganization may enter. Last year a Junior Red Cross club from Wheatley River won. Their entry was it brother-sister team, ages 13 and 11. .

Entries are coming in and flu- ccnteais should be keen. All on- trics must reach the Deparimenl

IT STILL LOOKS HOPEFUL

The other day. a high cutting wind literally blew me into the United Nations building. But once inside, wind and cold seemed non- existent. Those who designed the building itself. and those who plan- ned the decorating schemes. and all the practical details. were obviously artists, working together to achieve a. structure of heart- stlrring beauty, comfort-and hope.

I had not remembered how dazzling is the effect of the great entrance hall. The ceiling rises to a height of scveniy-five feet and is composed of slabs of concrete painted in blue, the color of the United Nations flag, Panels of opaqueglass blocks, separated by narrower sections of blue-painted concrete. form the entire front wall. A hundred or more slender gilt pipes close to the wall are more like organ pipes made for music than the steam pipes they really are.

The rest of the outer-wall space is one immense window looking over the East River and the won- derful sky-line on the opposite shore. In full View is the famous Tri-borougli Bridge, as delicate- sccmlng as a cob-web though it joins Manhattan and Queens, and

CHARLOTTETOWN

Following is the opening in- stallinent of a report prepared by Mr, William C. Cairns on his six month.s' tour of the United King- dom which lie made last year on a scholarship provided by the Nuffield Foundation. Mr. Calms. who is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Scot Cairns, bower Freetown, was silver medalist in his third year at Prince of Wales College and has been president of the Prince Edward Island Junior Farmers Federation and of various young people's groups.

sustains much of their traffic. Through the entrance hall pan thousands of' people every day. Two, three or four thousand on ordinary days-often as many as fifteen or twenty thousand. A large number are school children. These people do not just stand around and admire the hall. They go tr. the lower floor where objects from all lands, are on sale. They bug the swcels of those lands. (I bought a box of delicious Englisli fruit b0Iib0llS) They look at the pictures and books dealing with those lands. They buy the pamph- lcls covering every phase of the work of the United Nations. The conference rooms open to the public are filled willi people. young and old. Surely all this must result in good! 0 Last year I gave you a. glimpse of the General Assembly in ses- sion. The. members are now at- Icndiniz the liiicr-American paricy at Vciieziicla. On this visit I divid- cd my time among three separ- ate confercnccs: The Trusteeship Councilhtlie Council on Petitions. and the Commission on Human Rights. The Trusteesliip Council, in brief.

is coriceriicd with the gradual advancement of the "s u bj e c t peoples of the world" untill they

can assume self - government. Council members have the right to ask the special representative from any Trust Territory about conditions in that territory. While I was present. the representative from India was questioning the British special representative about Tanganyika, a. large territory on the east central coast of Africa.

The room was a lovely com- position of soft greens and blues and light woods. But the atmos- phere was not relaxed. There were about a dozen very dark-skinned peop1e.One, as black as ebony, wore his native costume-ii toga of a heavy maicrial, checked in emerald and black and orange, The Indian. his dark brown face. tense, asked the fair-skinned British represent- ative such leading questions as: Is there any difference between the political status of the African now and in 1919? The answer was, "yes." but the questioner persisted: How was it any better since people are still divided into Africans. Asians. Europeans? Well, here they were together. fighting with words? Will the word-battle clear the air, and lead to understanding?

. . .

The Council on Petitions is a branch of the Trusteeship Council. Whether a minor subject of a tribesman's right to a particular plot of ground upon which to biilld his hut, warrants hours of debate in the United Nations. is at question. This tribcsman from Ruanda- Urundi, an island off of Tang- anyika, said he had been wrong- fully iold to move his hut to a "neighbouring nrea" lie had, how- ever, taken his 3600 bricks wilh him! Scrloiisly. this body of men cniisidcrcd what is meant by a "neighbouriiig area." it did seem very friondly. very wonderful-but is it significant?

Lastly. I sat in on an endless monologue by a Russian repre- sentative io the Commission on Human Rights. the entire Declaration of Human Right; was built upon sand. since no practical steps were assured to

carry out the covciianls. Various members of the United Nations submitted amendments. One by the member from the United

Kingdom was an attempt in ovo;- como the basic objection of ilic Russian representative: that the United Nallons was really trying to interfere in the affairs of the states.

And so if. goes on, day after day. In this lovely soaring United Nat- ions building, men should come lo some undersiaiiding of each other.

WILLIAM C. CAIRNS

The mud was deep as Dad and I made our way to Freetown Rail- way Station in s waggon. It was seven A. M. April 2, I953 and I was leaving on a six-month tour of Great Britain. and Western Europe. The night before I ha; gotten the truck stuck in the mud and after over two hour's shovelling and working. I was fin- ally forced to walk the three and one-half miles home.

As I crossed Northumbcrland Strait on the Abegiveit, I was thinking of the much longer boat trip ahead of me. The train ar- rived in Halifax at about six o'- clock and I was met by sonic friends at whose house I spent the night. At six o'clock. April 3. I went down to the Cunard docks where Herman Arason was al- ready waitlrig. Herman's home is In Glenboro, Manitoba. and he was the Nuffleld Agricultural Scholar for Western Canada. for 1953. we were to travel together during the summer. Representa- tives of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture as well as a photo- grapher and reporter were wait- ing to see us off. At 9 P. M. every- body was on board and the gang- plank was lifted.

The moorings were loosed and we were soon sliding away from the pier where hundreds of friends stood. waving hand- kcrclncfs, shouting good-byes etc. Before long. the lights of Halifax began to get faint and we realized that we were at sea. A: Herman and I strolled around the ship that night. we stopped to talk to an Air-woman .from Ottawa. (There were several hundred air- force personnel on board ship. both men and women. some of the latter had previously been stationed at the R.C.A.F. station Summerslde so I had seen some of them before.) This particiilnr air-woman was very confident that she was not going to he sen- sick bi-t a few days later she had completely changed her mind. Our

trin over was simply wonderful and I cant praise too highly the sdrvlce given by the Cunard Steamship Co., Ltd. I had never before in my life seen so much good food: and we had dance.- every night as well as lots of shows, bingo, miniature horse- raciiig, deck games etc. The libihry was well-stocked with
