Perhaps unwittingly, but all the
same with certainty, the poultry man
or woman is, at this time, laying the
foundation, either by acts OF omission
or commission. for either success or
failure in their business for the year
1908. There are, therefore, rev
points in the business that must OF
necessity be considered at this time,
and in all cases make due allowance
for minor disappointments. There Will
be the usual crop of mistakes and ar
castle ideas to be harvested by the
new beginners in the business, as
there is every year. The "get-there-
quick" idea always yields bountifully,
because of the unbalanced fertilizing
elements of this new soil, so to speak.
The person of small experience Will
often, in his effort to escape the mis-
takes and misfortunes OF the past, ap-
proach his work at this time with less
overconfidence and more or less eau
ton, for he does not feel as strong
in his knowledge of the business as he
once did; but in such apparent weak
ness lies his strength, for he now
begins to realize more than ever be-
fore that he is really engaged in
business IN Wn1cn the exercise OI Soou
common sense figures more perhaps
than any other one thing.
Now, more directly to the point, and
beginning at the foundation: Select
your breed and make the start at the
bottom rung of the ladder. Select
your Matching eggs from a flock that
is known to be making money for it's
owner along the line of egg production
from a flock that is known to supply
fresh eggs in quantities during the fall
and winter months when eggs bring
a good price. Such flocks are few,
and are only secured by years of pa
tient and systematic effort. 1t repre-
sents a case where natures plan has
become subverted to mans necessi-
ties. Having the eggs secured-and
they should be fresh, as we'll as con-
tanning high percentage of fertility
be prepared for their incubation.
When hens are used secure the eggs
as the hens become broody; don't Sc
cure them in 100 egg lots unless you
have an incubator ready to receive
them within "a hours after their arriv-
al when possible. For the person who
wants to make start with 25 or 80
pullets about 100 eggs will be found
none too many, as there will be few

infertile ones and many cOckerelS.
When hens are used to hatch the eggs,
see to it that the nest for the purpose
is where the hen cannot be disturbed
by other hens or by animals, either In
the daytime or at night. Use fine
earth for the foundation of the nest,
and have the eggs nearly on level,
the center of the nest being but
trife lower than the outer edges, thus
avoiding much breakage of the eggs
by the hen getting on and off the nest.
Carefully remove the hens daily, feed
and water, and be sure and see that
they frequently visit the dust bath,
which should be provided for them If
any do not, then dust such hens, now
and then, with insect powder. When
Matching time arrives, be careful not
to remove the chicks too soon-from
SO to 48 hours after the first peep is
soon enough. A little hard boiled egg
fed on a board sprinkled with sharp
sand is good feed for the first day
or two. Give pure water to drink.
The commercial chick feed is good
for the first two or three weeks, then
the grains. Omit soft feeds; they are
not desirable. Provide green stuff of
some sort-the tender grasses are the
best. When using incubators and
brooders carefully follow the direc-
tons that go with those machines. Be
sure and keep them clean and free
from vermin. Use carbolinium for this
Paint the brooders with same few
days before. Keep the chicks thrifty
and healthy, and on good grass
range. Hatch the large breeds be-
tween February 20 and April 20, the
others during April and May. When
the weather becomes dry and hot, give
the pullets special attention; see that
they do not want for green stuff, nor
drink. BY observing these matters
you can depend upon fresh eggs dur
ing the fall and winter.

A TEN-YEAR RECORD.
Valuable Points for the Dairy Farmer
Suggested by Nebraska Station.

In October, 1896, the dairy herd Of
the Nebraska experiment station was
established for the purpose of supply
Ing milk and cream to the class room
and also to furnish animals which
could be used in various practical ex-
periments. The herd was started with
ten animals and increased to 81. Dur
Ing the ten years, 100 complete yearly
records were recorded. The breeds of
the herd were principally Jerseys and
Holsteins, with some Shorthorns and
a few grades of various breeds. All
records were carefully kept from day
to day during the ten years and all the
records we're compiled The 100 rec
ords show an average of 6,513.2 pounds
of milk, and 1896 pounds of butter
per COW per year. This average made
by number of different breeds cover
ing period of ten years gives a reli-
able basis for figuring.
The conclusions deducted from the
data are as follows:
AS a rule, short lactation periods
result in high per cent, of fat, while
long periods give a lower per cent.
of fat.
A large flow of milk is generally as
sociated with a low per cent. of fat,
while small flow gives a higher test.
1t was found, however, that the amount
of butter fat did not vary as much as
the milk flow or the per cent. of fat.
In most cases heifers, with their
first calf did not show as high a test
as they did at a more mature age.
The per cent. of butter fat did not
seem to be changed by the food ration
given.
In order to know the value of a
dairy herd and its members, it is
necessary to keep a milk and butter
fat record of each COW from year to
year. Such record will show varia-
tion in the value of the animals and
will serve as a guide in building up
the herd.
The cows varied from year to year
in their butter fat production. The
good cows were inclined to give large
yields year after year, while the poor
ones were in nearly all cases low.
1t was found that, as a rule, the
variation in milk flow in individual
cows from year to year was due to
length of lactation and rest before
freshening. A long lactation period
favors a larger milk production; also,
a long period of rest before freshening
brings the same result.
The years 1905 and 1906 were used
to found the data of this experiment,
and special care was taken to record

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why

DAIRY NOTES.

BY proper management of the feed
an even flow of milk can be secured
from most cows.
England is in the market for large
quantities of American butter and this
demand may result in higher prices
Cows know almost to the minute
when feeding time comes round and
they should not be kept waiting long
No matter what the market is the
maker of good, reliable butter can al
ways find ready sale at better than
quotations.
Have you ever tried a winter rye
pasture for the cows? 1t is well worth
while to do SO. Then you will need
very little butter color preparation.

accurately all data concerning the
amount of feed consumed by the cows.
The principal feeds given were as fol
lows: For roughage, alfalfa hay, corn
silage and pasture; for concentrates,
corn, bran, oats and linseed-meal. The
prices charged for the foods were
based on the average market price
during the time they were fed. The
butter fat produced was credited to
the cows at the market value, based
on prices paid by the creameries of
the state.
The conclusions from this test are
as follows:
The amount Of 1Ailk and butter fat
produced depends upon the dairy ca
pacity of the animal and the amount
and quality Of the ration used.
Cows vary in their cost Of keep, also
in their ability to use economically the
food consumed.
Cows Of decided dairy type will re-
turn the greatest profit when fed to
their full capacity.
The average cost of feeding dairy
COW, as shown by these records, is
about $50 per year, and the total
value of butter fat is about $40, leav-
ing an average of about $40 for labor
and profit, in addition to the value Of

calf.

EXCELLENT WEATHER
AND MAGNIFICENT CROPS
REPORTS FROM WESTERN CAN
ADA ARE VERY ENCOURAGING.

A correspondent writes the Winni-
peg (Man.) Free Press: 1.-THE Pinch
er Creek district, (Southern AL
berta), the original home of fall
wheat, where 1t has been grown with
out failure, dry seasons and wet, for
about % years, Is excelling itself this
year. The yield and quality are both
phenomenal, as has been the weather
for its harvesting. Forty bushels is a
common yield, and many fields go up
to so, 60 and over, and most of it No
1 Northern. Even last year, which was
less favorable, similar yields were in
some cases obtained, but owing to the
season the quality was not so good. 1t
is probably safe to say that the aver
age yield from the Old Mans River to
the boundary will be AZ or 4S bushels
per acre, and mostly No. / Northern.
One man has just made a net profit
from his crop Of s1955 per acre, or
little less than the selling price OF
land. Land here is too cheap at pres
ent, when a crop or two will pay for
1t, and failure almost unknown. Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do well, also stock and
dairying, and there is a large market
at the doors in the mining towns up
the Crows Nest Pass, and in British Co.
lumbia, for the abundant hay of the
district, and poultry, pork, and gar
den truck. Coal is near and cheap.
Jim Hill has an eye on its advan-
tages, and has invested here, and is
bringing the Great Northern Railroad
soon, when other lines will follow"
The wheat, oat and barley crop in
other parts of Western Canada show
splendid yields and will make the
farmers of that country (and many of
them are Americans) rich. The Cana
dian Government Agent for this dis
trict advises us that he will be pleased
to give information to all who desire
1t about the new land regulations by
which settler may now secure 160
acres in addition to his 160 home
stead acres, at $500 an acre, and also
how to reach these lands into which
railways are being extended. 1t might
be interesting to read what is said Of
that country by the Editor of the
Marshall (Minn.) News-Messenger,
who made trip through portions of it
in July, 1908. Passing through more
than three thousand miles of Western
Canada's agricultural lands, touring
the northern and southern farming
belts Of the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, with nu-
merous drives through the great grain
fields, we were made to realize not
only the magnificence of the crops, but
the magnitude, in measures, of the
vast territory opening, and to be
opened to farming immigration. There
are hundreds Of thousands of farmers
there, and millions of acres under cul-
tivation, but there is room for mil
lions more, and other millions of acre
age available. We could see in Western
Canada in soil, product, topography or
climate, little that is different from
Minnesota, and with meeting at
every point many business men and
farmers who went there from this
state, it was difficult to realize one
was beyond the boundary Of the
country"
