Care of Poultry.


The farmer must keep his poultry
under the same conditions the poultry
man does his, If he wishes to profit
by the work and build up a reputation
for reliable goods. Instead Of the
fowls having unlimited range, they
should be confined to generous-sized
runs-1OO feet In length and as broad
as the width Of the house-and these
pens must not be overcrowded. The
farmer should build houses that will
enable hin to readily ventilate dixie.
for instance, the scratching shed house,
and the manure should be gathered at
lest once a week. Nothing but the
pU. st grains and meat scraps and
green stuff should be fed. The eggs
should be gathered enc or more times
a day. according to the condition ~
the weather. And no 'E.,s should be
held longer than one week the enter
prising poultryman ships twice a week.
An egg should never be sent to mar
kct unless its condition and age are
known to the shipper and can be guar
antaed. Under no circumstances should
eggs found In the hidden nest" be al
lowed to be palmed Off on the innocent
buyer.

First Wild Horses.

The first horses of the western plains,
probably were brought there by the
Spaniards. In 1545, more than fifty
Coronado. the Spanish captain. was
roaming about the plains OF New
Mexico. and he tells Of the dogs used
by the Indians TO haul their plumber
on lodge poles, indicating that they had
no horses at that date, say the St.
Louis Post-Tispatch.
In 1716 the Spanish again worked
their way eastward across the plains
and their letters tell Of the aston!sh
ment of the Indians at seeing the
horses they had with them. The ex
petition was constantly losing horses
and there is little doubt that the first
droves of western horses originated
from these strays.
In the early days o the plains
they were as great a pest to travellers
as they are to-day. Woe be unto the
luckfess camper who allowed n band
of Wild horses to get close enough to
his gentle horses, turned out for the
night, to sweep them off. 1t was al
most useless to follow, for the call Of
the wild comes to the gentlest Of
horses when he is thrown with a band
Of this kind that have been born and
raised free Of NIL restraint. 1t IS q
well known fact that the hardest one
to ecu out" the leader of them all
in a mad race across the prairie, is the
gentle, well broken saddle or work
horse, once he gets a taste Of such
freedom.

Western Cnnndn's Happy Prospects.

In no year since the development OF
Western Canada began has spring
brought a brighter outlook than it
brings this year. In no preceding
spring has there been greater assur-
ance of advancing development and
prosperity. The movement of immigra-
tor has already assumed large proper
tions. and is as desirable in character
as it is satisfactory in volume; from
across the Atlantic sturdy, industri-
Gus and thrifty newcomers are arriv-
ing in large numbers, hOmeseekers
from Ontario and the other older
provinces are coming in a steady
stream. and from across the interna-
tional boundary a movement Is already
in full flow which, it is confidently
predicted, will beat the records Of all
previous years special settlers trains
are crossing the line, loaded with eff
fectS. actual material wealth being
thus brought into the country at the
rate Of millions of dollars worth
monthly.
The movement Is so uDprecedently
large that extra Dominion Immigra-
llOn OT1ClalS nave lau 10 De PROVIDED
at both North Portal and at Emerson,
and it is estimated that the total num-
Der Of new settlers from the United
States this year will be 10000 at least,
and may run well up toward 100000.
Last years total Of new settlers from
the South was 53,723; thus the area
that will be placed in wheat and other
grains this cal will greatly exceed
that of last year. Settlers are making
extraordinary efforts to get on their
lands and begin seeding operations.
The price Of wheat now away above
the dollar mark, is incentive enough,
and when one has in view the splen-
did results that the past few years
have shown, it is not to be wondered
at that the present will be the banner
year for immigration to Canada. Ask /
your nearest Canadian government
agent for rates of transportation, and
he will also send you illustrated
pamphlets. J
