REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
sanatorIum Where tuberculosis May
Be Cured 10 Worth Much to
Any State or City.

DR.. H. L. Barnes, superintendent of
the Rhode Island State Sanatorium,
has recently demonstrated by some in
teresting studies Of patients discharg-
ed as apparently cured" from that in
stitution that sanatorium is sound
investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings Of ITO ex-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to $102, 752,
and those of 211 cases in 1912 to $112,-
OIL. BY applying the same average
earning to all ex-patients Of the sana-
forum living in 1911 and 1912, DR.
Barnes concludes that their income In
these two years was $551.000. This
sum Is more than three times the cost
Of maintenance of the sanatorium in
GLIDING interest at per cent. on the
original investment and depreciation
charges. Dr. Barnes concludes, how
ever: while institutions for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation OF far ad-
vanced cases would be still better in
vestments."

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

A method which has given very sat
isfactory results for the American
breeds has been worked out by Prof.
J. G. Graham Of the Massachusetts,
Agricultural college. A dry mash II
kept in hoppers before the hens at
all times and q 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 il varied, depend
ing somewhat upon the condition OF
the hens. II 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 will be some
left for them to work on early the
next morning. This Is found to be q
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 It 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 IL 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 q
week.

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

Ry A. J. WILDER.)
Care should be taken to save for
settings only the eggs from the best
hens. A very great difference can
be made in q flock In a few seasons
by the selection Of the eggs for hatch
ing.
By choosing the largest eggs the
fowls will 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 will develop strain Of large
fowls that will lay very large eggs,
but win lay only every other day, or
even less.
On the other hand, II you set the
eggs from the hens, that az pullets
laid during their first fall and win
ter, and continue to set eggs from
such hens, you will develop a strain
Of early winter layers.
The eggs for settings should be
from year old hens, as the chicks will
be larger and stronger than those
from pullet eggs. It Is best to mate

1.-THE CLIMATE OF
WESTERN CANADA"
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CAN.
ADA'S IMMIGRATION.

A letter dated February 2. 1918, pub
lished in a Peoples Voice" column in
Swedish paper, while dealing with
other conditions in Canada, such as
grain yield, social conditions, ETC.,
says: I'VE have had fine weather un-
til New Years, when some snow fell
and it was cold for few days, but
during the past few days we have
lovely weather again." The writer,
who lives near Davidson. Sask, says
they got from 80 to IS bushels of wheat
per acre, go bushels Of oats and about
20 bushels Of fax. All homesteads are
taken in the vicinity, but wild land
can be bought at reasonable figures.
Word from Alberta gives the infor-
nation that up to the 22nd Of February
there were eighty-four and quarter
hours of bright sunshine, but that did
not come up to the corresponding
month of 1912, when the meteorolog-
ical department registered 120 hours
for the 20 days.
February was exceptionally fine all
through, but 1912 went one better, and
was glorious month. However, TAX
ing the weather generally throughout
the northern hemisphere, February has
been marked by serious and severe
disturbances resulting in heavy storms.

BIG FACTOR IN INCUBATION
for Many Failures In ArtificiaIIy
Hatched Eggs.

The question Of the cause or causes
Of the lower Matching percentage that
commonly characterizes artificial in
cubation when compared with results
obtained when eggs are set under
hens is a matter about which there
is considerable conjecture, but little
definite knowledge. In connection with
various theories that have been adj
vanced and several experiments that
have been made, 1t is perhaps sug-
gestive that Investigators have re-
Gently inclined to the opinion that I'M
satisfactory results are probably due
In greater measure than is generally
supposed to an excess Of ventilation.
Several authorities are mentioned
in support Of the statement that
there is q larger amount Of carbon d.
oxide in the air surrounding the
eggs that are naturally Matched than
in q well ventilated incubator, and the
question is raised as to whether and
to what extent 1t may be an essential
factor in incubation.

Broody Hens.
cockerels instead of old cocks with
these hens, ~ the eggs are more apt
to be fertile and there will be a larg-
er percentage Of pullets. s~v@
Choose the medium sized, well
shaped eggs and be sure the shell Is
firm and strong. A weak shell is sure
to be broken, and, besides the loss of
the egg itself, will likely ruin sew
eral Of the other eggs in the nest and
may even teach the hen to break and
eat them.
Feed the hens a little air Stacked
lime in the mash to give the eggs q
good strong shell. BE sure the lime is
well Stacked and give two tablespoon
fuls to 100 hens every day.
Do not force the breeding stock for
egg production. Feed them mostly
whole grain, wheat, oats, corn and
barley. Let the mash be a light feed
and give them fresh sweet meat
scraps twice a week.
Feed plenty Of green food, unless
the fowls have range where they can
find it for themselves. Keep them
supplied with pure, clean drinking wa
ter and have charcoal. grit, oyster
shell and dry bone always before
them.
Don't forget little salt in the
mash. It-should always be sailed as
much as the same quantity Of food
would be for the table.
The hens must be made to exercise
by scratching for their grain in tho
litter. They must be healthy and in
good condition If you are to raise
strong, healthy chicks.
A diseased condition Of the hen is
transmitted to tho egg and will ap-
pear in the chick when Matched.

Save the Early Layers.

Hens that lay but few eggs are ami
NAL weeds. II we breed from them
they are more than likely to yield
daughters that will be weeds also.
Farmers and small poultrymen who
cannot afford to use trap nests can
pick out the pullets in September and
October that are about commencing
to lay, and save pen of them for
next seasons breeders.
The pullets that commence laying
early usually continue to lay well.
In this way most of the weeds can
be kept out Of the breeding pen.

Effect Of Animal Husbandry,

Live stock make it necessary to
diversity crops and grow more crops
upon which there is wider margin
Of profit. Animals also distribute la
Dor, furnish employment in time of
bad weather, or when field work is
not possible. Animal husbandry is the
logical way to insure soil improve
ment, as the increased fertility from
manure is often sufficient to justify
raising animals.
