EARLY PULLET IS IMPORTANT
Attention Must Be Given Young Hen

Eggs Are Desired.

After all is said and done, by far
the most important single factor III

If we are anxious to get winter

attention to the early-hatched pullet
and her development.
1t will be well to sort out the prom.

free range by themselves and give
them extra care and attention. A good

Especially is this true If they are
otherwise permitted to be pestered
by young cockerels or other males.

for extra care and attention on any

1t Is to be expected that most of

thing of drain upon the vital forces
but, as 1t is a purely natural process,
it should not be permanently injuri.
Gus to fowls that are properly fed and
sufficiently protected from storms and
changes Of temperature. BY alternat.
ing light and heavy feeding and add.
ing condiments to the food and tonics
to the drinking water, it is possible
to hasten the molt. There are excep.
tional cases in which 1t is well to take
this course, but, as a rule, 1t is not
advisable.
While they are changing one coat
for another 1t is not natural for hens
to lay many eggs, and 1t is a great
mistake to attempt to force them to
lay by giving stimulating foods. They
need this period of from ten to four.
teen weeks for rest and for the growth
OF new feathers. During this time
they should have good care, with
plenty Of pure water and clean grit.
Animal food of some kind should be
given, with liberal grain ration to-

advantage to add pint of sunfiower
seeds per day for each dozen hens.

COMMUNITY PRIDE AN ASSET
The Town That Cares for lite General
Appearance Is the Town That
Will Prosper.

Community pride is an asset, and it
is one Of the greatest OF all assets.
The town that improves its streets,
cleans up the alleys, paints the houses,
cuts the grass, rakes the lawns and
plants its flowers is not only encour-
aging cleanliness, but is making for
itself a name among the peoples Of
the outer world.
Commercial travellers and others
come, and look, and go away and talk
and the talk is all in favor of the
town and its people.
Talk travels, and grows, and null
tiplies until the town becomes known
in many climes for its cleanliness and
progressiveness.
In time other men who are looking
for change Of location hear Of this
town-and then they go, and look, and
talk, and are pleased, and it becomes
their home.
And the town continues to expand
and progress, and as the years roll by
1t gradually assumes larger proper
tions and a more commanding and
dominating position in the world.
When Community Pride comes in
Prosperity enters by its side, and the
two become the mighty levers that
control the machinery OF success.
Personal Pride and Community
Pride should march side by side, for
when these two potent factors join
hands in a laudable purpose opposl.

TOWN PLANNING IN AUSTRALIA
Antipodeans Show Wise Interest In
Subject and Profit by Experience
Of Older Countries.

Australians are showing a wise in.
terest in the subject of town planning
and housing in general. The trouble
with older countries has been that
they have not begun to think much
about improving housing conditions
until housing conditions have got to
be insufferably bad. Australia, being
young country, should be able to
profit by the unfortunate example of
other countries, and 1t is apparent that
Australia is striving to do this.
Building, an Australian publication,
devotes much space to this subject. AL.
luding, for example, to the direction of
the movement In Victoria by the Town
Planning and Parks association, these
activities are described as intelligent,
enthusiastic and energetic. 1.-THE flow
Of active campaigning established" it
appears, threatens altogether to
swamp the slum and its wee ied evils
beyond the hope of re-establishment.
1.-THE association. very sensibly, is
enlisting the sympathy and support of
the masses by alert regard for their
we'll being. The essentials OF the move.
ment bear directly on the existence of
that section Of the people whom cir.
cumstances have handicapped. This the
association recognizes. Settled evils
which primarily deny the common her.
itage Of sunlight are being squelched.
Conditions of living scarcely befitting
the brute creation, but to which human
flesh and blood are subjected, are be.
ing swept way as speedily as the pom.
derous arm of the law can be operated.
In brief, the movement in Victoria, di
rected by the Town Planning and
Parks association. is making good.
"The association is making a special
point Of making plain the principles of
town planning to those in the position
Of facilitating reform. For instance,
the mayors and councillors of the mu-
inequalities and shires were recently
circularized on the new and extensive
powers conferred upon local governing
bodies, by recent amendments of the
act. A portion of that circular reads:
1t is hoped that advantage will be
taken at once Of these powers-ap.
piled, perhaps, in conjunction with
building regulations to avoid the crea-
tion of slum or insanitary areas. In
this connection St. Kilda council has
recently passed bylaw providing for
a minimum area, devoted exclusively
to open space, for each dwelling equal
to at least eight-eighteenths of that
occupied by dwelling and outhouses.' "

Do you know that fertile eggs be-

quickly as milk when subjected to the

idea that eggs have to be put in an
incubator before the germ starts to
grow. The fact is that eggs begin
to incubate just as soon as they are
subjected to a temperature of 80, or
above, whether this be behind the

USE CRATES FOR FATTENING
First Essential Is to confine Fowls So
That They viii Get as Little
Exercise as Possible.

The first essential in fattening
fowls of any kind is to keep them con
fined so that they can get as little
exercise as possible. For this purpose
crates or regular fattening pens are
best. These pens should be SO ar.
ranged that they can be easily cleaned
In many cases the bottom is left slat
ted so that the soft droppings caused
Dy the fattening ration will droI
through and thus not soil the feet and
feathers.
The following method of fattening,
in which milk is used, will give salts.
factory results: A mash consisting OF
four parts of cornmeal, two parts
wheat middlings apd one part beel
scraps should be wetted with skin,
milk until it is thin enough to run
from a spoon, should be fed to the
chickens in troughs. They should be
allowed to eat as much of this mash
as they will. In addition to this they
should be given all the water they
will drink, and a plentiful supply OF
green food. This method produces a
very fine. soft. sweet meat.
In commercial milk-fettening plants
buttermilk is used in combination with
ground feed similar to the above
method, but the farmer will generally
find it more convenient to use skim
milk.
In following this method of fatten
ing. on account of the soft mash
foods liability to contamination, care
should be taken to keep everything
clean and sanitary. The troughs and
dishes should be scalded after eacL
feeding. and the pens should also be
kept well cleaned.
