QAuywny the table arrived in due course and went to Bnttleforll, the seat. of the first government, later it was moved to the old govern- ment buildings on Dewney avenue and again at the adjournment sess- ion oi‘ 1908 to tho new post office building in Regina, where the House met for part of a session on the top floor. Tho table was too long then to be taken into the build- illg and William Lythe still a re- sident. of Regina was instructed to an it down Mr. Lythe did just l t. he was authorised to do and

It was that very shortening of the famous old table that led to complications and disputes. It caus- ed its authenticity to be question- ed, and there was conslde able trouble-years of it——to lift the cloud"of doubt. But never in all the time there was any question as to the origin of the table did any in- dividual, organization or govern- ment claim to have a. Confedera- tion table. And oven after the table had been firmly-established as genuine, almost endless stories were circulated as to what had be- come of the piece removed by William Lythe. People told of seeing souvenir tables at various places, made from the wood of the original. Each story had to be run down, as each lent some foundation
that the entire table had been made into souvenirs. Each of the reported souvenir stories proved false. Finally it was established that ihé part removed .frorn the original was used in repair work of various kinds and so lost sight of. All that is now on record.
The centre of the table is bass- wood and it is edged with solid oak. It took the testimony of ex- perts to establish that fact. On the table is a kep, accompanied by photographs showing the . position occupied by each of the Fathers of Confederation. One drawer was shared by two of those historic per- sonages. While the table is in ex- cellent repair, the handles of the drawers are gone. Long ago sou- venir hunters attended to that.
Judge Dubuc Will
(Canadian Press)
EDMONTON, April 6.—-Another trial of Arctic coast natives will take place in the far north this coming summer, ‘andyas previously Judge Dubuc will make the long trip via the river steamer to carry justice of the white man to the Eskimo peoples.
The native in this instance-as last ycar~is accused of murder and be ‘ha; been in the hands of mounted police for more than a year. l-le was taken by boat inst season from the Rayol Canadian Mounted Police post on Corolla- tlon Gulf to Herschel island to be tried. Butowing to the little vessel being held up in the icc, tho Island was reached too late for the‘ trial of the prisoners. as by that time Alikomiak and Tatamagnmu had been sentenced to death and Judge Dubuc had left for the "out side." Since that time thc Eskimo has been held by the guardians of the North at Herschel island. awaiting justice.
It is understood that the trial this your will take place at. Akla- vik (at the mouth of the McKenzie riveri instead of at Herschel Is- land. This arrangement ‘ls made neccssarydue to the uncertainty of travel in the Arctic Ocean, but with the prisoner at Aklavlk, the judicial party will be carried right to _the scene of the trial. by the river steamer, and will lose far less iiime than if it were necessary to proceed to Herschel island.
As in tho former case tho trial this year will be along tho identi- cul lines of llriilsh justice and

FEEDING YOUNG CHICKS INDOORS.
Unless the weather is advanced enough for the chicks to get out of doors during the day time ‘the prob- lem of feeding is made complicated. With the heavy breeds it is import- ant to have the chicks out in March if they are to become good winter layers. Yet-so early in the year it is necessary to keep them in- doors for days at a time because the weather ‘Ln March is so often stormy and cold. Chicks that are reared indoors for any length of time will quickly develop leg weak- ness and ‘dropping wings unless pre- cautions are taken in feeding them to prevent this. A ration that is faultless for May-hatched chicks will not ,as a rule, be suitable for those that come out in March. -
Deficiencies Must Be Supplied-
The direct rays ol’ the sum may
.be responsible for the ' apparent
great-er hardihood of the May chick, but the chief cause of trouble in re- aring so mamy flocks of March chicks is in the lack of vitamines and minerals in their dietary. When chicks can get a plentiful supply of tender young grasses or other growing vegetation and bugs they get all of these elements they
‘need therefrom, and if they are
kept indoors they must be supplied in some other way. _
lin (coding chicks confined to the broader houses, cod liver oil, eggs, raw liver and canned tomato- es arc all very efficient sources of vitamins, and if these are used
' with the dry ground grains and fed
regularly there will be lllllu trouble from weak legs or wings.
Preparing the Feeds-
The usual practice in giving these nutrients tn chicks is to mix
mash of equal parts of cornmeal and wheat middllugs to reduce the whole to a crumbly state. Thou feed each iu rotation. u couple of hours apart uutil the chicks are 10 days old and then gradually extend the time between the feeds until only three a day are given. (live the chicks at each fecd ull they will eat up cleanly in 20 to 30 min-
They also should have all tho water and sour milk, given in separ- ate vessels, they will llflllk. This should be before them ull tho time.
Only Pure Clean Food-
Evory cure should be exercised to see that no sour, dirty or moldy food is ever given them. ’i‘his will cause a diarrhoea that greatly weakens tho chicks, and that unnu-
ully carries off great numbers of Jhcm. Sanitation is at all times ‘
most important around u poultry plant, but it is doubly so win-u tho chicka aro constantly or mostly confined.
' Value of mm as Feed—
The value of milk for growing chicks cannotbo over-estimated. lt is the opinion of most poultry authorities that it is practloallyim- possible to raise the best chicks without the use of milk in some of its various forms, and this is certainly true if the chick, are being reared indoors. Milk not"

it is also best to ilse sour milk in preference to sweet, because it is slightly more palatable and seems to keep lhc birds in a healthier con- dition. Sour milk, also, has been found to be more readily and com- pletely dlgesiiblc. ln warm weather it is very difficult to feed milk sweet at all times, because of its rapid souring, and vthe changing from sweet to sour is very likely to cause digestive troubles.
Questions on this Week's Lesson-
1. Why is it easier to feed chicks outdoors than indoors?
2. l-low may food deficiencies be supplied?
3. Why should the food of chicks always be clean and pure’!
4. Discuss the feeding of milk.
~ AHiSlIl/OTS to Last Week's Ques/ tions-
1. Baby chicks should not be fed the first two or three days because. nature has provided them with all they nccd for that period, and if fed boioru this natural food is assimilated digestive troubles are likely to be set up.
2. The first nourishment of Baby chicks should be. sour skim- milk.
3. Scratch grains should he given chicks iu litter in order to induce exorcise. Without. exorcise the chicks cannot bu hcpt in a healthy icolnditicu.
i ~i. A dry mush is [mafcrablo to a. moistened one because it is not so likely to (rouse u (lcrzulgemcut of tho digestive. organs. -----—-¢-o-c-_-i._--
