is a voracious bird, and its capacity for good or evil is very great. If the more thickly settied districts where poultry is ex-

tensivelur raised could be passed by and the bird considered only as it

appears in the great West, it would earn a secure place among the

The maintenance ration of rough feedsshould nowbe gradually replaced by a medium grain rat'on and better quality roughage, pre- ferably timothy haly, increasing the quantity until a. full working ration is being fed at the start of the heavy spring work. frhe pre- paratory grain ration may consist of from 10 to 12 pounds o: grain daily in three feeds. At heavy work the ration shou‘d consist of 1 to 1 1-4 pounds of grain and 1 pound of hay for every 100 pounds live weight. A LSOO-pound horse would thus receive 15 to 19 pounds of grain and 15 pounds of hay per 51W.

MR. FULTON GORDON

__\_ At Montrose on March 31st Mrs.

Fulton Gordon was "called to

higher service” at the age of 56.

Mrs. Gordon had been in ill health but her death was sudden and a shock to her husband Mr. Fulton Gordon and little daugh- ter Dorothy Mildred. Mrs. Gor- don, nee Mary F. McNa-b. came as a bride to the Island from Wor- cester, Mass. Her beautiful cher- acter endeared her to all whowere privileged to know her, and awide circle of friends remain in bond of sympathy and grief with hcr loved ones who are left to await the happy re-union.

A sincere Christian, handicapped with much ill-health, she was at- tached to her home and church. The example of her life will re- main as a IIIUIIIOIIuI to her faith in the evidences of the things un- seen but which her life was a proof of experience.

A baby son, Ronald, predeceased her some years ago.

We commend her loved ones to

God and would recall to them the Easter message, "He is not dead. l-lc is Risen.” Besides her beloved liudiand and young daughter, there are left to mourn three sisters, Mrs. Robert Rcnnicks of New Rochelle. N. Y3 Mrs. Herbert Smith, and Miss Han- nah ItdcNab; also two broihers. Mr. Robert J., and Mr. Samuel J.. all of Worceste . Mass.

The funeral was held from the home on Friday, April 2nd, where lfter a short service the body W" eonveyed to the United Church e1 Montrose. The service was eon- ducted by the Pastor, the Rever- end MJ‘. McLeod. assisted by "'19 Reverends Mr. Donalds and Mr. Iinnsr of the Christian Baptist Uhurch. who offered Dflyel‘; 815° the Rev.
