TO SECURE CHOICE POULTRY
Practical Rules for Matching Eggs
and Setting Hen-ChanoIng Cock
erel Of Great Importance.

Be sure that the hen is broodink.
Try her for day or two by placing
china eggs on the nest. Make nest
Of clean, fne-cut straw; dust the
straw with Persian insect = powder.
The hen should be busted with the
lice powder twice during incubation.
that the old and young lice may be
killed before the young chickens are
Matched. II the chickens are free
from lice, they will make strong
growth from the start. The breeding
stock should be given grass range
and fed mixed grain ration of crack
ed corn and whole oats, and wheat
screenings. Feed fresh ground bone
twice a week. Have boxes in feeding
room Of ground bone. crushed oyster
shells, grit and large box of wood
and coal ashes well mixed together
for the dust bath. Breeders of high
priced poultry make careful selection
Of the breeding stock. The males
should be fully one year old. Of me-
dunn size. full-breasted. and with
short, bright yellow legs.
The breeding hens should be select
ed from the most prolific layers.
Breeders of exhibition birds use the
trap nest to test for egg production.
Fresh blood should be introduced by
purchasing males of the same breed
from farm-bred flock. It Is said a
change of blood increases the laying
qualities A11ow ouo m a Ia to q non NJ
IL hens of the large birds, and one to
a pen of Is hens of the small breeds.
After the cock has been with the flock
two weeks, remove him and put In a
fresh cock. This Is considered of tn
utmost importance by breeders.

drug store. Another effective remedy
is half pint each Of turpentine, am
monia and kerosene to which add
about four ounces Of gum camphor.
II more Is needed double the quantity.
Apply with q brush.
The nests should be burned out
over a blazing fire and roosts should
also be held over the fire, and all
should be thoroughly whitewashed
and painted before putting them back.
Experiments with bedbugs to ascer-
tain how long these unsavory insects
can live without food have developed
the fact that they live from Fl to $50
days entirely without food. This ezs
plains why some farmers have had
trouble with these bugs by using. for
poultry. buildings long unused.

THE PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
TIVE "BAcK TO THE LAND" CRY
ie EFFECTIVE.

Travelling through the state Of Iowa
the other day, and Iowa is no excep-
ton to the story about to be related,
the writer was shown q farm that was
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared to be q high fig
ure for land upon which the owner
depended upon the crops Of corn, hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
1t. But it wasn't. A few weeks since
the farm changed hands at 1926 an
acre. Over in Illinois. down in In
diana, up In Wisconsin, across the
line in Minnesota, the same expert
ence was met with. And then atten-
ton is directed to Canada, which has
been the Mecca Of 30 many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only in Eastern Can
ada has the price Of lands increased.
but in Western Canada. during the
past few weeks, farm lands have In
creased from three to Ave dollars an
acre. with the prospect Of similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this is very apparent,
and in few words It may be pointed
out that the lands are worth great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agricultural Of
Minneapolis, a paper that was one Of
the first Of the American farm papers
to discover the real merits Of the
lands Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: 1.-THE reciprocity sched-
ule would encourage American farm
ers to move to Canada, where the vir-
gin soil will produce greater crops Of
grain with less labor than can be pro-
duced in our own farms in the North
west. The result will be to enhance
land values in Canada" This paper
II afraid land values in Canada will be
enhanced at the expense Of land
values in the United States. In face
Of the fact that land values in the
United States are increasing the rea-
soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance in value of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact, admitted by this paper, that Can
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops Of grain with less labor" But
that is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months 100000 peo-
pie have made Canada their home and
these are mostly Of the farming class.
They want farms, and the demand as
well as the wealth Of the soil Is regu-
lating the price. A study Of the In
crease in the acreage of land nut I'M
der crop last year, which can be had
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative, will prove the point, that
the demand is increasing at q greater
ratio than even the most sanguine
would have predicted.
