THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1933 LOCKHABT POST-REGISTER LOCK HART, TEXAS Ontario's First Seaport Founded 300 Years Ago Ontario's first seaport was found- ad 800 yearn by Cnpt. Thomns James on the shores of the bay that Bow bears his name. ID the winter of 1081-32 Captain James established himself at the mouth of the Moose river, at the southern extremity of the bay, calling the place Moosonee. Some 40 years later the Hudson 's Bay company was formed, and the fort of Moose Factory was established on Mission Island, across the river. The new fort, however, was soon lost to the French, who took It without a struggle with a small force led by Troyes in 1686.

As the English garrison believed the fort practically impregnable, they had neglected even to post guards. Two French soldiers succeeded, consequently, in scaling the palisades under cover of darkness and opened the gates. The old fort has remained unchanged In the last 100 years. The factor's house ts over 180 years old, while the forge, still Intact, was built nearly 200 years ago. The same 15-pound guns which were used so unsuccessfully In the fight against De Troyes' expedition In 1086 are still fired every year when the lee goes out The black- amitb shop is believed to be the oldest building in Ontario.

Equinoctial Storms Just as Likely at Any Time The latter days of September and March (he usual popular talk about the so-called "equinoctial storms." it is a fact that this age -old folklore often seems vindicated, for Ircquently we do have severe storms in this period. These are not storms due to the equinox, that season when the sun passes the equator, usually September 22, and about the same date in March, but are caused by tropical storms and hurricanes.

The southward movement of the sun does not create they are the results of certain meteorological and geographical factors down in the trade wind and doldrum belts of the tropics. There Is uo wucb thing as an "equinoctial storm." The fall equinox happens to come In the midst of the tropical hurricane season, and some of the moat severe disturbances have occurred in the latter dayB of September. But records show that few storms come on September 22; they are just as likely to appear on the I6th or the 28th, but people always associate them with the period of the equinox.

Success with Poultry Improtance of Vitamin Hens need several different vitamins, and all except one are supplied by the grains, green foods, or by the protein supplements used in the ordinary poultry ration. The exception is vitamin D. Chicks, given everything else they require, but deprived of vitamin do not grow normally. Their bones, instead of becoming firm and hard, remain soft and weak.

At about five weeks of age, they develop the serious disease known as rachitic weakness. Layintr hens also need adequate amounts of vitamin D.

EMMA SLAUGHTER Optometrist Office Over Corner Drug Store Lockhart, Texas Sutponston There la a popular notion to the affect that the even tread of a Bmall animal, such as a cat or dog walking over a suspension bridge, will cause vibration enough to endanger the bridge.

It is true that suspension bridges are all flexible, vibrating or swaying when objects move over them, and that even a small animal walking over would set up a very sharp vibration. ExpertB have shown that a few soldiers marching over a long suspension bridge In regular step would produce a greater vibration tl an much larger force out of step; consequently they are ordered to break step before crossing. In 1850, a suspension bridge In France broke Gown under 487 soldiers marching In step, and nearly half of them were killed. Curioui Flowar one of the most curious flowers In the world Is a kind of convolvulus which Is common In Bermuda. The strange thing about this blossom Is that It changes color as the hours of the day pass.

Boon after sunrise the flower opens and it Is then a lovely rose-pink. As time passes the bloom takes on a mauve shade until by noon It Is a rich blue. In the afternoon the blue becomes fainter and fainter until when darkness comes this astonish, log blossom Is quite white. Just before midnight the flower fades, and it Is a mass of crumpled petals by the morning.

K. D. by laying eggs of low hatchability and with shells of poor texture. Hence by supplying his flocks with proper amounts of vitamin the poultryman lowers mortality among his birds, improves their growth, increases egg production, and produces eggs of better quality and higher hatching power. Only during the past eleven years has the existence of vitamin been known, and only in recent years has the need of poultry for it been clearly understood.

Prior to that time, it was recognized that poultry required some special substance in order to keep in good health. It was thought that this substance was secured from the ground, because of the high mortality among chickens kept in confinement. It is not known that this special substance came, not from the ground, but from the sky, for the ultra-violet light of the sun has the power of supplying birds and animals with vitamin D. Hence, chickens exposed constantly to the direct sunlight do not develop leg weakness. Another potent source of vitamin is cod-liver oil.

By adding sufficient amounts of this oil to the ration, rachitic leg weakness and other ailments due to vitamin deficiency are prevented. Knowledge of this fact has made great changes in poultry raising. The poultryman is now able to eliminate all guess work and uncertainty in providing vitamin protection for his flocks. He can keep them continuously in confinement if he wishes to do so. He must remember, however, that all oils claimed to contain vitamin arc not alike in their potency.

Some contain very little of this vitamin; others are maintained at a uniformly high potency by the adding of extra vitamin and nrc then standardized by actual feeding tests on chickens. The use of oils of this latter type at recommended levels, or of properly mixed feeds containing them, provides full insurance against vitamin deficiency. FENTRESS Mr. and Mrs. K.
