TO SECURE CHOICE POULTRY
and Setting Hen-Changing Cock
ereI Of Great Importance.

Be sure that the hen is brooding
china eggs on the nest. Make a nest
Of clean, fine-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 a 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 a large box of wood
and coal ashes we'll mixed together
for the dust bath. Breeders OF high
priced poultry make careful selection
Of the breeding stock. The males
should be fully one veal old, Of me-
dunn size, f~ull-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 Tor egg production.
Fresh blood should be introduced by
purchasing males Of the same breed
from farm-bred flock. 1t is said a
change of blood increases the laying
qualities. Allow one male to a pen Of
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 the
utmost importance by breeders.

drug store. Another effective remedy
is half a 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 ana roosts should
also be held over the fire, and all
should be thoroughly w~hitewashed
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 21 to 1870
days entirely without food. This ex-
plains why some farmers have had
trouble with these bugs by using, for
poultry, buildings long unused.
The illustration shows two baskets
Of eggs. The one on the right repre-
sents 220 eggs laid by a hen free from
vermin. The one on the left repre-
sents Is eggs laid by a hen in a poor

This article Is intended to point out
to those who may wish to become OF
those who can raise wheat, oats, bar
ley, fax, cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities In Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the Official fig
ures show that upwards OF 10000
Americans located in Canada, and tho
greatest majority Of these have settled
on farms. and when the time comes,
which 1t will within q few years, they
will be ready to help serve their par
ent country with the food stu1s that
its increasing population will require.
The immigration for the spring has
nov set in In great earnest, and train
load after train load Of a splendid
class OF settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De-
troit, st. Paul and other points. Most
of these are destined through to points
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. The reports that come from
the different farming districts there
are that the spring is opening up well,
and the prospects for a splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis
tricts good homesteads are yet avail
able. The price of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but It Is
still away below its earning capacity.

Ion Government has just published its
