MAKING A sRooDER.
Simplify Care of Little Chicks by Con.
structing One.

Some people try to have a lot OF
hens hatch about the same time as
their incubator, then give the chicks
to the hens. But l have found by ex-
perience that is a mistake, writes a
poultry keeper in Farmers Mail and
Breeze. The hen will take them out
and drag them around in the dew, and
if it happens to rain she will sit right
down where she happens to be and
lose from three to half a dozen, or per-
haps all the flock; while if the chicks
had brooder they would run into it
and be safe.
| make my own brooders. They
work all right out of doors and | never
yet have lost a chick with them.
take piece of sheetiron 20 inches
wide and feet long Then TWO pieces
of / by feet long, and in each
board make two holes 1S inches apart.
Run gas pipe through these for the
sheetiron to rest on, and fasten the
boards 2 feet apart. Make a rack out
of lath to sit on top of iron and cover
with thick brown paper.
Use two pieces of by 10 feet
inches long from which to make COW
er; fasten on top of first boards with
hinges and hooks so they can be
turned back to clean out brooder.
Outside the brooder make a board
floor level with the sheetiron floor for
inches, then slant to ground so as
to make run for the chicks to go
in and out. Set the brooder lamp un-
der the sheetiron and place the lath
rack and thick paper over the iron.
The chicks will never get too hot I'M
e less the lamp explodes, which has
never happened yet for me. The cost
of this brooder is about S1.50, lamp
and all.

HER CHOICE OF DEMISE.
Pathetic Thought of Little Girl Who
Had Lost Playmate.

Mary had for neighbor a small play
mate, a much-loved and attractive boy
The little lad rushed across the street
one day, throwing back glance at his
mother. At that instant trolley car
swept around the corner and the re-
sulting tragedy threw the town into
mourning. Each family wept as
though it's own son had been lost
Mary was utterly disconsolate and,
little as she had previously known of
death, realized in a childish way the
added horror of this one. In her con-
vulsive grief, and while her father and
mother sat with sobs in their throats
and tears overfowing, Mary straight
ened up and sobbed:
Mother, when l die hope it will be
Of disease and not of a damaged"

CUT OUT FOR A FiNANclER.
Shrewd Rascal Made Good Thing Out
of WhistIing Geese.

Two rogues passed a poultry shop.
Seeing two geese hung up for sale one
of the rogues inserted in the gullet
of the goose little bulb with whistle
attached. When the bulb was pressed
the whistle sounded.
Then, entering the store, he told the
proprietor that he had hanging out.
side a very rare kind of whistling
goose. The proprietor at once sold
the goose for big sum to a very
learned professor, who was astonished
to hear about the whistling goose.
Seeking the man who had placed the
whistle in the gullet of the bird, the
proprietor asked him If he knew
where others like it could be OBJ.

Well" said the crafty fellow, 81

So the rogue brought dozen fowls,

thrust whistle, and was paid an ex-
orbitant price for them before the
hoax was discovered.

SCRATCHtNGS.

Is it the business hen this year, or
only a boarder?
The farmer who raises poultry can
always obtain ready money.
A chick that is continually chilled
seldom amounts to much, because vi
tality is used up to resist and over
come abuse.
1t is not good plan to feed grown
up fowls too much soft food, as it
tends to make them dyspeptic
In estimating the cost of keeping
poultry it is best to allow one bushel
of grain year to each laying hen.
With hens it is much better to keep
the appetite sharp compelling them
to be active and search for food
Pick all small, slow going, indiffer-
ent appearing pullets and save them
for broileTs. Keep for maturity only
the best of the whole lot of pulets.
Experiments show that the yearling
hen lays 40 per cent. more eggs than
the hen two years old.

IMMIGRATION FROM
SOUTH EXPECTED
U. S. FARMERS ARE RECOGNIZING
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES
OFFERED BY WESTERN
CANADA.

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 8, 190S.-Pres-
ent indications are that the Canadian
Northwest will draw an exceptionally
heavy movement of new settlers from
the United States this year. 1t should
surpass the banner record for 1907.
This is not only based on the fact
that the Americans have come to
realize generally that tie Canadian
Northwest offers splendid opportuni-
ties, but also because the railroads
have awakened to the fact and are
offering rates to the Canadian North
west which are exceptionally favor
able.
The lines which lead to st. Paul
from the east and south are offering
homeseekers' rates to the Canadian
Northwest this year which are on a
parity with those in existence to the
southwest for couple of seasons.
These rates can be obtained from
any agent of the Canadian govern
ment, who will be pleased to give all
information possible regarding those
districts which offer the greatest in
ducements to settlers. The weather
throughout Western Canada has been
remarkably good this year. A tele-
gram from the winter wheat belt Of
Southern Alberta dated at Cardston,
Alberta, January 10Th, says:
This winter up to January 25 was
nothing shors of a marvel, in fact, it
was the finest anyone can remember
for twenty-five years though there
have been others nearly as good. The
days were fine, sunny and warm with
light frosts at night. Overcoats and
gloves, etc, were discarded by most
people in the day time. There was
so little frost in the ground that post
holes could be dug without any trouble
after the first inch was broken
through. Winter wheat remained
fresh and green although there has
been no snow since the September
storm. If there is an early spring.
winter wheat should gain a great
start"
Amongst the reports of the yield
of last year the following extracts are
taken:
H. Howe of Magrath, Alta, writ,
ing on November, 1907, says: Il have
20 acres in crop, so acres of wheat and
seven acres of oats. My average yield
of oats was 35 bushels to the acre,
and Of wheat 45 bushels. The value
to me was $35 per acre"
]. f. Haycock, of Magrath, writes
in November: Il had Go acres in win
ter wheat. y itch went 60 bushels to
the acre, It's averaged so bushels. l
also had q tons of hay worth $40
per ton. l got 600 bushels of pota-
toes from three acres of land; l got
eight tons per acre from five acres Of
sugar beet"
J. F. Bradshaw, of Magrath, had
1,030 acres of winter wheat last year
which averaged 391a bushels to the
acre. The value of his farm products
per acre was: Wheat, $31.60; oats,
S1120 and barley. $25.15.

Number of Hens to Rooster

l have often read in poultry papers
If you put more than eight or ten hens
in the breeding pen the eggs will not
hatch. My experience has been that
25 or 80 Leghorn hens with only one
cockerel lay eggs which hatch chicks,
every one. In 1895 had a pen of so
mixed pullets in a place 10x1S feet. |
had brown Leghorn cockerel that
l had no use for, so put him in with
this lot. In March, writes the cor
respondent in Orange Judd Farmer,
one of my neighbors wanted
to exchange eggs to set, so
! let him have 30 eggs from this
pen. | did not tell him about the way
they were mated, as had some doubt
about their Matching. But he got %
chicks from the 30 eggs and came back
for 30 more, getting &c chicks the last
time, or Sd chicks from 60 eggs

AUTOMATIC POULTRY WATERING.
System Used by DR.. A. H. Phelps
Described.

Upon each floor of my poultry house
have a Pinch iron pipe which passes
the whole length of both the main
floor and loft from west to east, at the
latter end projecting outside the build
ing This pipe runs along the floor,
passing through each of the warm
roosting rooms, in each of which is a
T Joint, surmounted by a 1-inch nipple
coupling. On the top of this is
screwed a cast-iron drinking cup 8
inches in diameter and 4 inches deep.
Ali are set at the same level.
At the west end the inflow takes
place through tank supplied with a
float valve, like that used for flushing
a closet. This tank and valve are ad
justed to the same level as the drink
ing cups so that when the cups are
full the float shuts off the inflow, and
as the water is used out it falls just
enough to allow the cups to refill,
again closing when the proper level
IS reached. In this way the water is
not wasted. At the outflow at the
west end a gate serves to flush out
the whole system. Inside Of this gate
an overflow pipe, placed at the prop
er level, easily prevents the possibility
of the cups overfowing and thereby
flooding the floors. The Pinch pipe
Is of that size to render clogging i'm
possible. A pipe from the hot water
heater in the brooder cellar is con-
nected with the inflow pipe, making
1t possible to supply hot water to the
system.-Orange Judd Farmer.

In order to fatten poultry at profit,
the right facilities must be provided
and proper food used. Probably among
the best are fat meat residues, corn

ton that it will not be many moons before k. J. Pellegrin will be going somewhere "to look for business opportunity"
 It Is mean to gloat over a fallen foe; but TIE OASIS is just mean enough to do so. That there has been bitter hostility goes without saying. But it was of their seek ing, not of TIE OASIS. Had the two Pellegrins been possessed of sufficient persplcacity they would have courted the friendshipsof THE OASIS, not it's hostility. But when A. L. Pellegrin told a committee of the Chamber of Mines that he would fight Bird, fight TIE OASIS, and fight the Chamber of Mines" he was biting off big wad that he has been unable to masticate. The sooner his fool brother gets out of the newspaper business and devotes his undivided attention to the jew elry business, the more apt he will be to prevent the inevitable wreck of that jewelry business. That will follow the assay business as sure as his name is Pellegrin.
 But in closing this screed TIE OASIS man believes he is justified in making use of the double bar relied paraphrase of we'll known notices: "Sic transit Buttinski," "Allea go bragh."

"THE great art of politics is com promise" writes a recent essayist. A fact which TIE OASIS has preach ed always, to recognize and put into practical application.

Who got crushed? Count them up on the fingers of both hands.

TO ENCOURAGE PUBLIC SPIRIT.

Thirty odd years ago, when the editor of TIE OASIS was young man residing in one of the most progressive California cities (San Jose), the office, reading room and chess room of the old Auzerais House were the scene every eye-
 ming of an impromp,u gathering of prominent ana well known citi
 zens, business and professional men, which was one of the features of life at that time Tn the young and enterprising city, Nightly there would congregate there from thirty to fifty, or even as high as one hundred, of the leading men of the place. Without any formal organization it was really a very enjoyable and interesting social club. And without any prear- ranged or definite form of proceed ure those gatherings became un- consciously a forum for the inter- change cf views and opinions upon the various issues of the day, and particularly upon those issues that were beneficial to their fair city and factors in its growth. Some evenings the assemblage would be broken into small knots, each con versing upon different subjects, while at others the entire assem- blaze seemed to have resolved into one audience listening to an inter- esting discussion upon single subject Frequently such dis cussion would start in one of the groups, and it would draw gradu- ally the attention of the others un- til all were gathered in one, many others joining in with the original takers, but all done informally, without any of the red tape of par liamentary procedure, or any. of the heat of polemic discussion. In that way the entire business en- tourage of the city became inter- ested in one another, with hearts and minds in singular accord for for the best interests of their city

AMONG the amusing things in this neck of woods is the railing of some people against "weak men in office who have no courage, and are afraid of their own shadows" But they are about the only men who can be elected. Men with positive character, who have opinions and cannot be manipulated, have very little show for election. They make too many enemies who turn out on election day yielding great clubs.
