AND THRIFT The Poultry Raisers Opportunity present Indications eln will require all the eggs and poultry Canada can produce Last ye ir as a result of great ly increased production Canada Wa Able to ship to real lie largest quantity of eggs exported since and at the same time re duced her Imports for home consump tion by nearly million dozen Canadian eggs have found favor on the British market and the prospects are that providing they are available nuch larger quantities will be ship ped this year The unusually high prices prevailing at the present lime largely due to this anticipated ex pel demand Prices of poultry arc also high ind will likely continue so for Ihe rest of Ihe season Last fall and winter all the surplus Canadian poultry was exported at highly pro fitable prices Between fifty ard sixty cars of live poultry were ship ped from Western to the States alone and In the Maritime Provinces particularly In Prince Ed ward Island the export demand for canned poultry lias greatly prices to producers Although uneasiness litis existed on the trade as regards facdiN In view or the frdnt and shortage of boats it now ihly certain hat ei even de mand for Canadian poultry anJ will occur this year Is therefore that poultry produc er takes steps to profit thereby by hatching as chickens as pos sible this spring Now Is the lime by hatching early by hatching everything pos sible In the month of May lo guard against the marketing of so much small undersized poorly finished poultry annually becomes a drug on the market In fall of the year Again It Is only by now and giving the chickens every possible chance to thrive And grow that a maximum supply of eggs can he obtained in the winter time liven their proporlallonnte amount of the growing of poultry brings profitable returns lo the farmer With the Increasing cost of meats milk butter etc there Is a constantly mand fur poultry and eggs The labor problem Is not critical so the boys and grls on the farm can readily take care of the poultry 1 cost of feed Is nominal prices for poultry arid eggs arc high highest In fact for many years It Is obvious therefore that Canadians have a as well as economic duly to preform In making the year- the banner year for poultry produc tion In Canada women of the land will rest tlie greatest burden of success In the campaign for thrift that- has been Inaugurated As heads of the household are the chancellors of domestic exchequers It Is for them to bear- In mind that expendi tures upon articles that are not ac tually needed Is not alone lessening their own resources but also depriv ing the country of something that might be more profitably applied The majority of men will agree that so far- as the household Is concerned their women are pretty thrifty But stinginess or miserliness Is not thrift The thrifty women combines with a natural ap titude for economy the wisdom of selection and utilization She knows when to save and when to spend She knows what Is necessary and what can be done without and she makes Ihe best use of everything Neither docs she do all things herself When help Is at hand she utilizes It with discretion The great aid thrift Is thought- fulness In fact without that cle ment thrift is utterly out of the ques tion The thrifty woman too not on ly exercises wisdom herself but sees that her children do the same thing not by Indulging them but by delegat ing to tliem sundry offices of which they are capable by making them selfreliant But the woman cannot do all these tilings by herself She must enjoy the support countenance and influence of her mankind The greatest enemy to thrift Is the pro miscuous doling out of the money It Is not lo boys and girls a sign of good nature it Is death to the re cipient It poisons their disposition and sows seeds of weeds that can never be eradicated For that sort of thing women are but little responsi ble but where their efforts shine Is In allowing nothing to go to waste In making use of everything and In exercising food dress household labor and the bringing up of children Aa Incentive to the ac complishment of these thrifts Is a re flection upon the times upon the needs and experience of their male re latives at the front and upon the fact that every ounce saved Is a contribu tion to the welfare of the country and perhaps to winning Ihe war Single Copies 3o
