TO DUST AMERICAN SILVER.
Canadian Government and Bankers
Frown on Popular Border Money.

Ottawa, Ont, July 20.-The Canadi-
an government and bankers are to be.
gin Immediately the collection and de-
portation of all American silver coins.
1t is said that fully 40 per cent of
the silver money in circulation in the
western provinces of Canada is Amer
lean coin. The bankers have been
complaining for some time of the pref
erence for American money and final
ly, it is said, have brought sufficient
pressure to bear upon the finance COM
mittee to produce concerted action.
All along the border the interchange
of Canadian and American money has
been common, no distinction being
made. The people generally do not
favor the move. and it is anticipated
that there will be much confusion in
all the border cities.

be beneficial to their health. The lesA
they are permitted to bolt their food
the less liable to digestive troubles
will they become.
The breadcrumbs may continue to
form considerable part of the ration
for two or three weeks. Hard boiled
eggs chopped fine and mixed with the
crumbs are good If not fed in too
large amounts. Oatmeal Is one of the
best grain foods, but is too expensive
to feed extensively. Crushed corn or
litter. BY the time the chicks are
three weeks old grain can replace the
breadcrumbs entirely. About a week
later little beef scrap can be added
to the ration. Sllimmilk can be given
from the time they are week old.
The best way to feed skimmilk is to
let it sour until it becomes curdy. Then
pour off the whey and feed the curd
fresh or dried. 1t is greatly liked by
chicks in either form. The chicks
should be fed three times a day and
oftener if they are not allowed to run
out AS they grow older the oats may
be cut down in amount and the cheap
er grains fed more literally.
Feeding For Egg Production.
If winter eggs are desired 1t is I'M
portant that the hens and pullets be
fed in such way as to stimulate egg
production. The animal food part Of
the ration, which is very important,
may consist of either beef scrap or
dried curd This should be put in
self feeding hopper. where the hens
can get to it at all times. Hoppers con-
tanning charcoal. grit and oyster shells
should also be provided and kept full.
Fresh water is important and should
be supplied plentifully Automatic
fountains are the best means of water
ing when the weather is not too cold.
In cold weather water should be given
in troughs at least twice day. This
matter of giving laying fowls proper
amount of water is not as well attend
ed to as it should be.
The breakfast for the laying hens
may consist of shelled corn scattered
in the litter in the scratching shed.
This will keep the hens scratching all
the forenoon and will give them the
exercise which they need to keep
healthy and in laying condition. At
noon dry feed Of mixed oats and
wheat can be scattered in the straw.
This keeps the hens scratching two or
three hours longer. The main feed Of
the day is given at night In the form
of a mash. A mash consisting of one
part bran or cut clover or alfalfa, one
part ground corn, one part ground oats
and one part middlings Is very good,
although there are many other mix
lures that can be used. In cold wealth
err the mash should be fed warm. After
eating the mash the hens will go to
roost warm and comfortable and with
full representations which favor a
high egg yield.
In feeding laying hens the aim
should be to give all they will eat up
clean. In addition to the rations given.
some of the green feeds mentioned
should be fed if they can be obtained.
In the summer the hens have free
range and can get plenty Of green food
and insects. This, together with the
lower price of eggs, makes it unprofit-

Fattening.
1t Is the common practice to let the
chickens run until along toward fall,
when the cockerels are caught and
sold without any special preparation
the cockerels yield fair profit This
profit can be greatly increased by fat
tening them for few weeks before
marketing. A bunch of twenty or thir-
ty can be shut in yard together and
fed grain mixture consisting of two
parts corn and one part shorts They
will gain rapidly on such feed and in
two or three weeks will be ready to be
marketed with considerable increase
both in price and weight.
Where special market for high
class poultry can be obtained it pays
to crate fatten. This Is done by confin-
ing the birds In Slated crates, TERED
up under a shed. They are fed some
such mash as ground oats. two
parts; ground barley, one part, and
ground corn one part, mixed with
skimmilk. This is fed in troughs three
times day, giving the chickens all
they will clean up in thirty minutes.
From one to two pounds can be put on
each one in three weeks, and the quail
ity Of the meat is greatly improved at
the same time, enough to double the
price If high class market can be sc.
cured. A still higher quality Of meat
can be obtained II the chicks are ca
ponized when they are three or four
months old.
