TRUCK GARDENING
AND POULTRY RAISING
THESE, AS WELL AS OTHER
MIXED FARMING 5RANcHEs,
PAY IN WESTERN CANADA.

Truck gardening and poultry grow
ing are two branches of agriculture
in which the farmers near the main
lines of the three transcontinental
lines traversing Western Canada are
much concerned. The abundance of
sunshine during the long days from
May to September, and adequate mois-
ture in the spring and early summer
permit of wide variety of crops. The
soil is rich and warm and is easily
worked. Close attention to cultiva-
ton has resulted in record yields of
all sorts of vegetable and small fruits
which bring good prices in the cities
and at the numerous railway construc-
ton camps.
Mr.. Harris Oium, an Alberta farmer,
came from South Dakota eleven years
ago and homesteaded the first 100
acres in his township in 1902, which
was divided between grain and pas
ture. He earned sufficient money to
buy quarter section of railway land
at $11 an acre. The half section Detted
proportionate profits and he gradually
increased his holdings to 1920 acres,
which was devoted to mixed farming
last year. He values his land at $50
an acre.
MI. Oium markets from 100 to 1876
hogs and a similar number Of beef
cattle each year. He has 200 hogs,
mostly pure bred Poland China, %
head draft horses and a5 head of pure
bred Hereford cattle. BY feeding bar
ley to hogs he estimates that the grain
nets him 80 cents a bushel, as COM
pared with 40 cents, the average mar
ket price whcp delivered TO the ware
house. His average crop Of barley is
40 bushels to the acre, while oats av-
erage so bushels.

cause they contained poisonous drugs or
inert materials that possessed no merit.

IMPROVING HEN FLOCK
Great Deal Depends on Selection
Of Setting Eggs.
Should Be Those From Year Old
Birds, as Chicks win Be Larger
and Stronger Than Those

Az a. ]. WmnFRN

(, Care should be taken to save for
settings only the eggs from the best
hens. A very great difference can
be made in a flock in few seasons
by the selection Of the eggs for hatch
ing.
BY choosing the largest eggs the
fowls win be much larger in size. but
there is a great probability that they
will not be good layers. The hen that
lays an unusually large egg is quite
likely to lay only every other day
BY setting her eggs and again the
next season setting the largest eggs,
you win develop a strain OF large
fowls that win lay very large eggs,
but win lay only every other day. or
even less.
On the other hand, If you set the
eggs from the hens, that as pullets
laid during their first fall and win

such hens. you will develop strain

PROPER FEED FOR THE HENS
Varied Diet Necessary for Best Re.
suits From Layers-Dry Mash
Always Before Fowls.

A method which has given very sat.
isfactory results for the American
breeds has been worked out by Prof.
J. c. Graham of the Massachusetts
Agricultural college. A dry mash is
kept in hoppers before the hens at
all times and a scratch feed is fed
night and morning. The dry mash is
composed Of equal parts bran, wheat
middlings, corn meal, finely ground
oats, ground alfalfa and beef scraps,
and the scratch feed Of two parts
cracked corn, one part wheat and one
part oats, says the Farm and Home.
The scratch feed is varied, depend
ing somewhat upon the condition Of
the hens, If on examination they are
found too fat more oats and wheat
and less corn are fed. Sometimes we
feed three parts of corn to two parts
of wheat at night and oats in the
morning.
AT certain seasons of the year more
grain is fed at night in the litter than
the hens will eat, so there win be some
left for them to work on early the
next morning. This is found to be
very satisfactory method. At times
oats are fed alone, for when the three
are mixed together the wheat and
corn are picked up first and the hens
that eat the fastest get very little Of
the oats.
II 1t is desired to force the hens, in
addition to the dry mash and grain,
moisten some of the mash, getting 1t
to a crumbly state and placing it in
troughs, what they will eat in is min
utes. This is fed at night. Fresh
water, oyster shell and grit are kept
before the hens Mangels and cab
bages are fed whole every day when
possible, but at least three times a
week.
