The rate at which new pianos are
springing upon the market is alarming.
They come like mushrooms in the night.
1t can be easily accounted for, it's the
longing desire of the American eople to
get something for almost nothing. But
In buying cheap Pianos they get almost
nothing for their money. The people
who buy Chickering Pianos get full value
and never have to repent their choice.
They are the pioneers in the Piano bust
ness, and the finest Pianos ever produced
are being made only by ChickerIng &
Sons. You can see aud hear them at

EXPERIMENTAL FARMS.

- E
Something About Those Conducted by the
Canadian Government
Fol 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
a complete outfit of buildings and the
necessary machinery. The buildings
are especially fitted up for cattle,
horses, pigs and poultry. and all Of
these are well stocked. There is a
dairy equipped with the modern ap-
planes for carrying on experimental
work. The farm includes a seed-test-
ing and propagation house and a 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 a~rboriculture
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 a director,
an agriculturist, a horticulturist. a
botaDist, an entomologist and a chem
ist- There are also a poultry manager,
a 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\ aud 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
adaptability 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 meta

fruit raising or for shelter or timber.

NATURAL INCUBATION.
How TO Treat the Hens During fhe Period
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 il 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 nestt to her notion.
and will have it nice and warm Give
each hen as many eggs Is she can con-
veniently cover. Watch them are
fully for two Or three days to see that
there are no eggs left to get cold. Dur
ing the first is hours the hen should
Sit perfectly quiet, says poultryman,
as II takes just that time to start the
embryo chick on its 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 yoar work, give
each hen the number you wish her to
cover. Fair sized hens should have II.
never more than -. 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-
oDed chick has drawn its 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 Its
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 ard 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 its Incubation

The OId-Fashioned GobbIer Gives Place {
a Medium-Sized Bird.

The Old Fashioned GobbIer Gives Place to
a Medium-Sized Bird.
All commission merchants agree that
1t is the medium-sized turkeys that sell
the most readily and are the most
profitable. The birds should dress
eight. ten or twelve pounds. according
to the proportion of toms and hens,
they say. and should look plump and
clean. These birds are the first Sc
lected, and the others go off more
slowly. At over fourteen pounds a re-
duction in the price is demanded, while
birds at eighteen or twenty pounds are
almost unstable at greatly reduced
rates.
Of course there Is some demand for
large turkeys for hotels and boarding
houses, but the private family will
have none of them. for two excellent
reasons First, the oven in the average
city house is too small to accommodate
such a lordly bird. and. secondly, the
size of the family not being in proper
ton. its members would rebel at the
turkeys too frequent appearance at
meals. 1t would be wei for the tur.
KEY raiser to keep both these points in
view and regulate the size of his birds
accordingly. He will save in feed and
get better returns for his flock. The

On the principal lines of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway passenger
trains are electric lighted, steam heated and
protected by block signals. With these
modern appliances, railway travelling al
high speeds has reached degree of safety
heretofore unknown and not attainable on
roads where they are not in use. Electric
lights and steam heat make it possible to
dispense with the oil lamp n the car

chances for collisions to the minimum by
maintaining an absolute interval of space
