FARM AND GARDEN.
EXPERIMENTAL FARMS.
Something About Those Conducted by the

Something About Those Conducted by the
| Canadian Government.
For several years past the provinces
and the federal government OF Canada
have been taking an active interest in
the improvement of agricultural meth
DDS throughout the provinces, and at
present the equipments OF their So
called experimental farms" are very
complete and efficient. The central ex-
perimental farm, situated near Ottawa,
comprises some 500 acres of land and
complete outfit of buildings and the
necessary machinery. The buildings
are especially fitted up for cattle.
horses, pigs and poultry, and allof
these are well stocked. There is a
dairy equipped with the modern ap-
planes for carrying on experimental
work. ! The farm includes seed-test-
ing and propagation house and con-
servatory. Besides this central station
there are eleven experimental farms
situated in other parts of Canada, and
these carry on experiments in agricul-
ture, horticulture and arboriculture
with much profit. The several farms
are situated SO as to render them as
helpful as possible to the most thickly-
populated districts, and in their equip
ments and general methods they re-
semble closely the central station.
The staff of workers at the central
experimental farm includes director.
an agriculturist, horticulturist,
botanist, an entomologist and chem
list. There are also poultry manager,
foreman of forestry and several
assistants to assist the members Of the
staff. The work is varied in nature
and has to do with practically every
thing which relates to farming in Can
ada. The adaptability and merits of
various varieties of wheat are. for ex-
ample, the subject of careful inquiry.
Experiments are carried on to deter
mine the vitality and purity of various
agricultural seeds, and to investigate
the nature of the diseases of plants and
trees, and the cure for the ravages of
insects. Various varieties of fertilizers
are tested to determine their compare
tive value with different soils and crops.
The study of the care of animals is a
very important interest, and the value
of different breeds of stock and their
to various climates and
other conditions are carefully inveSti-
gated. These stations examine the
scientific and economic sides of butter
and cheese making. Experiments are
carried on to determine the best meth
DDS of planting and pruning trees for
fruit raising or for shelter or timber.
The information gained in all this
work is carefully recorded and pub
lished for general distribution.-Scien

NATURAL INCUBATION.
How to Treat the Hens During the Perio
OF Matching.

| How to Treat the Hens During the Period
OF Matching.
If you wish to use hens to do the in.
cubating it is a good plan to have a
room separate from the main house
with not too much light. Make an
effort to set as many hens at a time as
possible. It will require but little more
time and care to look after six hens
than it will one. Two or three days is
none too long for the hen to sit on
china or nest eggs before giving the
ones you wish her to hatch. She will
| have become accustomed to the place,
will have shaped the nest to her notion,
and will have it nice and warm. Give
each hen as many eggs as she can con-
veniently cover. Watch them care
fully for two or three days to see that
there are no eggs left to get cold. Dur
ing the first 4S hours the hen should
sit perfectly quiet, says poultryman,
as it takes just that time to start the
embryo chick on it's life voyage. We no.
tice the hen seldom leaves the nest or
turns the egg during this time. After
they have sat quietly for four or five
days, prepare yourself with more fresh
eggs, and go in the evening with a
good light and tester and test each egg.
A little practice will soon enable you
to pick out the infertile ones. When
you have completed your work, give
each hen the number you wish her to
cover. Fair sized hens should have II,
never more than Is. On the average.
hens will hatch more vigorous chicks
from II eggs than any higher number.
We might go on through the 81 days
and describe the eggs as we have
broken them and seen the spider-like
little animal, and noticed the pulsa-
ton of the heart, ETC., but we will
leave this for the incubator people.
Finally on the Goth day the impris-
oned chick has drawn it's last nutri-
ton from the egg, its vital heat and
circulating blood have absorbed every
particle of the substance of the egg,
and there remains only the vigorous
little animal anxious to get out. It's
prison cell is punctured by thousands
of pores that always break first at the
bigger end Of the egg, because it is al
ways less moist and more brittle at
that end. There, too, the head of the
little chick is turned for air, and the
beak breaks through the rotten wall,
finds more fresh air, presses hard in
that direction, and soon breaks away
from all feeble resistance, and thus
ends the period OF it's incubation

Spring Medicine
for this Purpose
HOODS SARSAPARILLA

Spring is the season for cleansing
and renewing the blood. During the
winter it has crept sluggishly through
the veins, gathering impurities from
indoor air, from fatty substances in the
food, and from many other sources.
The great blood purifying medicine
especially prepared to do this work is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t will give to
the blood purity, richness and vitality
and these will bring health and vigor,
strong nerves, a good appetite, refresh
ing sleep, and powers of endurance.

vided into sections of L. feet or more,
with twenty-five hens to each apart
ment. The apartments, both above
and below, may be divided with wire
netting, that for the lower apartment
arranged on frames, so as to be NOV
able, to admit of blowing. A passage
way may be arranged, if desired.
Observe that plenty of light is afford
ed, which will be found of great ad-
vantage, SO do not spare windows in
such house, especially in the lower
portion.
The details of steps, roosts. nests,

convey the idea of an underneath run,
which will more than pay for itself in
the comfort of the hens and the in
creased number of eggs.

Underneath Run.
The design is to show house that
may be extended to 200 feet or more.
The fowls are given the upper story
for roosting, the lower portion being a
scratching place.
The house should be IL feet wide, 8
feet high for the lower story and
feet for the upper story.
The'object is to permit OF blowing
the ground floor of the lower story
with one-horse plow, for an extended
building. The idea may be novel one,
but the plan will save much labor. OF
course, such house is more expensive
than some others, but it affords COM
plete protection from storms in the
winter and gives shade IN summer, the
blowing turning the filth and drop

and peeping through the bushes, they
saw at once that the Indians consid-
cred themselves perfectly safe, for a
bright fire was burning, and in a stray
CLING row near it lounged twenty war
painted warriors.
A few yards away was tethered the
beautiful horse belonging to Moulton,
and he himself sat on the ground with
his wrists brought together behind his
back and tied around a sapling pine.
Carson had cautioned his impetuous
comrade not to fire until he should give
the signal, but just as the hidden
avengers had, in one swift glance,
noted all these particulars, brutal

Woodville, no longer able to control

Instantly the startled Indians sprang
to their feet; one fell to Kits rifle,
and another to Gerald's revolver; and
now, as they stood for three half Sec

shots rang out, each one stretching its
victim upon the earth.
Then the fourteen survivors turned
to fly, but before they got beyond the
fatal circle of freight three more
pitched headlong down.

picketed, attempted, as he ran, to

never reached, for as soon as his head
rose high enough to clear the animals

Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa continued the
debate in support of the proposition for

Mr.. Money of Mississippi, a member of

Mr.. Everett of Massachusetts took the
position that with the present demands
