ably there are more conferences with
the counsel and possibly a new bill, or
several new drafts before something
thoroughly satisfactory is threshed
out Counsel Is in no way responsible

a sort of consulting engineer who
builds to order but builds skillfully.
When a bill of first rate Importance
is under consideration in committee
the parliament counsel has a seat in
the room so that the minister in charge
may consult him at a moments notice
about amendments offered. The Eng

legislation finished and effective and
avoid subsequent difficulties the form
of the bill cannot be considered too
The result Of employing the
highest legal talent to draft bills is to
secure a harmony in legislation that

The ROOSt Mite.

Roost mites are very common and
troublesome When they become nu-
merous enough they not only infest
the nests but other parts of the build
ing, especially cracks and crevices, as
we'll as the roosts. They are much
like tiny spiders and are often called
spider lice by poultrymen.
Mites are easily exterminated by
applying kerosene to all infested parts
of the building. They become numer-
GUS as soon as warm weather comes.
AS prevention is better than cure, it
pays to paint your roosts once every
four or six weeks in winter time and
once every two weeks during the warm
weather. You will probably never see
a mite in a house so treated.-A. G.
Smith, Poultryman, University Farm,

Lay Foundation Now for Next
Winters E99 Supply.
BY CLARENCE WEIGH.

We have been taught for SO many
years that we must have early Matched
pullets for winter layers, many of our
poultry raisers have apparently lost
sight of the fact that there are many
other things to be taken into con-
sideration before they can be sure of
having proit-producing flock. The
mere fact that pullets are Matched
early,-about April LIST to 15th,-does
not insure egg production in Decem-
Der and January. Condition of parent
stock, methods of incubation and
brooding, and care of the young stock
through the summer and fall, must
all be considered.
One of the most important points,
and one that is too frequently over
looked or neglected, is the selection
of a breeding flock. On the general
farm the practice. is to take the eggs
as they come from the entire flock
No effort is made to select from any
particular type. In other cases where
ers, he is too apt to pay more atten-
ton to the fancy points than to any
thing else, and as consequence he
may include in his breeding pens some
birds that lack the vitality and vigor
that are so essential to success.
The experience of almost all observ-
ant poultry raisers indicates that lack
of vitality in the parent stock is large
ly responsible for the poor success
many people have in raising the
chicks. 1t has been shown by careful
observation that 20 per cent more
chicks can be raised from vigorous
stock housed in fresh air houses than
can be obtained from the general run
of stock in the tightly closed house.
It is important then to select Wig
orous hens for the breeding pen. Hens
in their second laying year are to be
preferred to pullets that have been
laying through the entire winter. A
season of heavy laying will have it's
effect on the vigor of the fowl, so that
those that have had chance to re-
cuperate and get in good condition
during the early winter are in better
condition, as rule, for producing
Matching eggs.
1t is also important that the breed
ing stock be kept in good, sanitary
surroundings. Many people have
found their later Matched chicks to
be stronger and make better growth
than the early Matched ones, and are
inclined to attribute it to the condi-
tions under which the chicks are
reared rather than to the conditions
under which the breeding flock is kept.
The old stock that has been kept
under poor circumstances through the
winter, commences to pick up in
vigor as soon as allowed the free run
of the outdoors, spends little time in
the unsanitary house, and as conse-
Guence is in better condition for the
production of eggs for Matching.
Another important consideration in
the production of winter laying stock
is the method of incubation and
brooding In bringing up this matter,
do not wish to infer that the method
of incubation and brooding are of so
much Importance as affecting the
quality of the stock that may be
brought through to the laying time,
but it does affect the number that
may be so raised. There is very little
doubt that the old hen-hatching sys-

the matter and pay attention to the
needs of the young chicks, he will
raise much larger proportion of the
stock Matched, as we'll as get greater
number of chicks from the eggs set.
