MUCH DEPENDS ON BREEDERS
Parents of Chicks Should Be Strong,
Vigorous, Hardy and Resistant
to All Diseases.

Whether a farmer will raise better
poultry this year than he did last will
depend primarily upon the kind Of
stock that is used for breeding. Every
baby chick is entitled to be we'll born
Unless it's parents are strong, vigor-
Gus, hardy and resistant to disease, q
poor hatch" and weak, puny chicks
will result, say the poultrymen at Iowa
state college.
The use of low vitality breeders is
the most frequent cause of poor incu-
batting success and high death rate in
brooding. Chicks Matched from poor
breeding stock never reach the size of
well-bred individuals. The pullets do
not begin laying until the following
spring and then hardly enough to pay
for their feed.
If the flock is to be improved, only
those birds that show size, vigor and
reproducing qualities should be used
as breeders. twenty-five good females
in a roomy pen with a couple of good
males will furnish eggs for incubation
that will produce chicks worth while,
ones that will grow into big fellows
worth a good price on the market
The pullets from such mating mature
rapidly and are in condition to lay
the winter eggs"

stone City House. He was the pet Dog
of little girl named Annette and his
name was Kink. Annette's Daddy was
very fond of his morning Newspaper
and his evening Newspaper, and would
read and read and read, looking very
hard into the Paper. Annette said she
could never understand why he looked
so hard into his Paper, as if he were
going to miss seeing something, be-
cause he spent so long reading it she
was sure he read everything three or
four times over.
But even when he was reading his
Paper he would pay some attention to
Kink. Kink was devoted to the News
paper, because every morning when
Annette's Daddy was reading 1t at
breakfast he would give Kink little
bites of Bacon and delicious pieces of
crisp Toast.
And in the evening he read it
when he came home and Kink was al
ways standing on the stoop watching
for him to come and he would rush to-
wards his Master carrying the Paper
in his mouth.
well, one night Kink was sleeping
in his little basket in Annette's room
when he suddenly began barking. An
nette woke right up and said:
Why, what is the trouble, Kink%
''As rule Kink would never dream
of waking up his little Mistress in the
night, and that was one reason why
he was allowed to sleep in her room
because he was so good and quiet. But
nothing would quiet him this time.
He went over to Annette's bed and
jumped up and behaved in a very
strange, excited way. And then every
moment or two he would run over to
the Window and bark harder and
| harder.
Why said Annette, there is moth
ing out there but a silly old man call
ing EXTRA" lie down like good
boy But Rink wouldn't keep still,
and finally Annette's Daddy woke up
and just to see if Kink had guessed
right, he bought a Paper because he
said Kink must have all the papers
even Extras! And to his surprise he
read in the Paper the wonderful piece
of news he had been looking for, for
days, and now he patted Kink, who
had made him buy the Extra.

DUCK RAISING AS BUSINESS
Fowls Are Fine for Family Use
Though Not Very Valuable as
Product for Marketing.

The duck has it's place on the farm,
but duck raising as a business is as
yet comparatively Improbable be-
cause of long distance to market and
prejudice among buyers of live poul-
try. The duck furnishes a delicious
roast for the family and an abun-
dance of feathers for home use.
Contrary to general opinion, a
pool large enough for swimming is
not necessary" says N. L. Harris, SUI
perintendent of the Kansas state agri-
cultural college poultry farm. Ducks
can be raised on dry land-that is, if
they are provided with water suffi-
GENTLY deep to allow them to sub
merge their beaks and wash the sand
from their nostrils. Otherwise they
will die.
The natural food for ducks consists
of bugs, worms and green succulent
vegetation found in marshy places.
Notwithstanding the fact that ducks
are easily raised, they should not be
Matched until warm weather, at which
time such feeds are plentiful.
There is danger Of overlooking, &C
cording to Mr.. Harris. The duck is

What is the easiest thing in the

is eating pumpkin pie; there may be
votes for rolling downhill; some peo-
pie may think 1t is making a mistake

idly is becoming more so. If the Uncle
Sam machinery in aid of business

Scarcely an industry in the whole
field of business can be named to aid
which some government bureau is not
constantly at work. Usually each in
dustry is directly served in various
ways by more than half dozen fed
eral institutions.
For the banker and all who deal
with banks-just about everybody
there's the new federal reserve sys-
TEN. For shippers and for railways
there's the interstate commerce COM
mission. For interstate traders, to
stand guard against unfair competi-
tion," there's that fiedgling product of
the progressive movement-the trade
commission.
All of which merely touches the high
places. If you are small farmer
and lack market for a portion Of
your output, the department of agri-
culture helps you find 1t. If you are
a manufacturer and you are seeking
new markets at home or abroad, the
department of commerce points you
the best opportunities. The mint serv.
ice OF the treasury assays the ores
found by thousands of prospectors
every year. Experts test the soil Of
thousands of farms every year to de-
termine what crops are best adapted
to them. A telegraph and mail news
service operated by the government
for the benefit both of the producers
and dealers in perishable crops has
been started by the department of ag-
riculture.
The department Of labor recently
undertook to provide the American
Industrial world with an intelligence
service reflective of labor conditions
the world over and recording the fluc-
tuations Of supply and demand in vari-
GUS parts of the United States. The

results are compiled in the Monthly
Review issued by the United States
bureau of labor statistics.
Recently one of the trade scouts of
big manufacturing concern read
six lines in the Daily Commerce Re-
ports of the department of commerce
and scored orders from a Portu-
guese firm aggregating over 100000.
There are eight bureaus in the de-
partment of commerce. All are con-
cerned in some way with industry and
commerce. Largest and most directly
related to business of these eight bu-
reaus is the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce. 1t gathers trade
information from all over the world
and passes it out to American manu-
facturers and exporters. Most of the
information is printed in the Daily
Commerce Reports.
The bureau of mines gave to the
country a process devised by one of
its chemists, DR.. w. F. Rittman, for
the manufacture from petroleum of
benzol and toluol, used in the manu-
facture of dyes and high explosives.
This process has since been demon
strated on a commercial scale. Doctor
Rittman also devised process which
will enable refiners to increase the
output Of gasoline from crude petro-
leum 200 per cent or even more, the
patent right to this process to be
dedicated to the public to prevent mo-
nopoly.
Grain dealers, bankers, and all bust
ness men who look to the prospect
for crops upon general conditions are
always deeply concerned in the in
formation furnished regularly by the
weather bureau and the bureau of crop
estimates.
II you want to know what's on the
earth or under the earth or the shape
Of the earth in the United States, Just
ask the geological survey. There is
constant practical business need for
this information. If a new railway,
electric or steam, is projected, the en-
gineers before submitting estimates
of cost first send for the topographic
maps from the geological survey cover
ing the proposed route.

FAIRY QUEENS DOG STORY.

mot long ago in Fairyland,' said
Daddy, "a lot of the Brownies came
over to Play on day when the Fairies
were feeling very sleepy. There had
been a big Party the night before, and
the Fairies we're just about ready to
lie down in the cool moss and half
sleep and half dream when the Brown
les arrived
"The Fairies didn't want to hurt the
Brownies feelings, nor did they want
to appear rude, but they didn't seem to
know at first how they could get up
and Play with their usual vim. They
wanted so much a good lazy time for a
change.
But the Fairy Queen thought up a
fine scheme which pleased the little
Fairies and which the Brownies
thought was a special treat for them.
So ali were quite happy and this was
the Fairy Queens idea:
"She said she would tell them a
Story about very bright little Dog.
They we're all delighted, for they loved
the Fairy Queens Stories at all times,
and were very much honored when
she told them. And they all loved
and admired little Dogs.

A farmer of Monarch, Alberta,
claims the distinction of being the first
in the province to sell carload of
hogs at the high price of eleven cents
a pound, live weight. The sale was
made short time ago at Calgary, and
at that time was record, although
prices have since gone as high as
$11.12h per hundredweight. With
such prices available for hogs the
farmer has a market for everything
his farm produces as there is prac-
tically no farm product which cannot
be converted into good hog flesh The
uncertainty of results which attends
grain farming even under most favor
able conditions is removed when the
settler goes in for raising hogs, beef
and dairy products. With Western
Canada's cheap lands, heavy crops, and
climate free from diseases of stock,
the stock farmer is as sure Of success
az anyone can be.--Advertisement.

Uncle Sans Cooks

No, you aren't the only vic
tim of the servant problem.
Here is another sufferer.
Uncle Sam, rich and power
full, good to his help" and the
surest pay in the world, can't
keep his cooks any longer or
better than the ordinary sub
urban commuter. He offers them
good pay, easy hours, and lots
of nights out" but they simply
will not overlook the fact that
they are cooks, bred and born,
and so keep moving on.
United States marine corps
statistics covering the last two
years show a greater percentage
of men deserted who gave occu-
patton prior to entry as cooks"
than any other class enlisted
during the period.
Desertlons from the marine
! corps are very light at all
times, and were it not for the

lieve that the oldest branch of

DAIRYING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in a highly
hourishing condition and is bound in
very short time to become much
more important The war has created
a great demand for that article, and
its use abroad has given it a lot of
useful advertising. The article known
as Canadian cheese is now sought not
only by the soldier in the trenches,
but by the ordinary civilian consumer,
who. having used it, is quick to APP
preciate its value. This means that
after the war there will be a demand
created for it that would not other
wise have been. Up to the present
the war needs have limited the local
supply, but with the increased effort
that is now being put forth it is hoped
that this will be met AS a matter of
course the prices are high, and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is now fully open
and there is every prospect of an eX-
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt-
eddy be maintained this season. West
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making of cheese, the
feed and the cool nights, two things
essential, and in time it is bound to
become one OF the finest cheese coun-
tries of the continent.
The lower foothills of Alberta, used
only at the present time as ranges or
for no purpose, will in time produce
cheese in great quantities, and doubt
less will soon equal the famous up
lands of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
keeping of milk and cream and
cheese, and that is a great thing for
the industry, especially wheL COM
bined with possibilities of cattle feed
such as exist on the long slopes from
the Rockies eastward
The hog market, which may be
classed as an adjunct of farming, is
an exceedingly good one, and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro
duced, coupled with the high prices
realized, make this industry very prof
liable.
One of the first thoughts that occur
to the mind of the average prospective
settler is the likelihood of suitable
markets. In this connection the fol.
lowing table will be illuminating. 1t
is supplied by the p. Burns company,
packers and exporters, of Calgary, and
shows the average monthly price paid
for hogs for the six years 1910 to 1915
inclusive. When one considers the low
initial cost of the land and the small
overhead cost of maintenance and
feed, these prices challenge compari.

Limbs.

Limbs come on trees and people.
They are seen on trees, in court
rooms, on the stage, and at the sea-
shore. They may be covered with
bark, plasters or silk, as the case may
be.
Limbs are useful in many ways.
Pelicans, who are very economical,
and therefore never get into deep wa
ter, only use one at time. Soldiers
use them during various purposes,
sometimes standing upon them and
sometimes running away.
Limbs are made of cork, wood, or
bone. Cork limbs are useful as life
preservers. Wooden limbs can be
taken off and used for purposes of de-
