FROZEN COMBS AND WATTLES
Troubles Largely Due to Poor condi-
tion of Fowl and Dampness-
Closed Houses Are Bad.

Frozen or frosted combs and wat
ties are common at this season, wheth-
er you house your birds in closed build
ings or those with open fronts. Usu-
ally the birds in the closed houses get
the worst of it.
Freezing of the neadgear is largely
a matter of poor condition of the bird,
and dampness with sudden changes in
temperature. Now and then a healthy,
vigorous specimen, in good order, will
get frostbite from undue exposure, es-
pecially to freezing winds, but gener-
ally there will be no severe frostbite
under ordinary circumstances unless
the bird is out Of condition from in
digestion, faulty nutrition, too much
handling, ETC.
Exposure to severe cold winds when
headgear is wet with drinking water
is common cause Of freezing. For
treatment, thaw out the frosted parts
by rubbing with cold petrolatum; then
apply a mixture Of one ounce of sweet
oil with one teaspoonful of spirits of
turpentine. Apply daily.
Do not take the bird into a warm
room. Warmth will cause trouble.

A DIFFERENCE IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada FaVn Prof
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George 81. Barr, Of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced ana rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $50 per acre.
These lands are in high state of cul-
tivation, with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share OF
crop on a quarter section in Saskatche.
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
35 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
Rs bushels per acre. This year the
same quarter-SectiOn. sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave $3.50 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels of / Northern at
$1.5G per bushel, gave him $2,5G3.0S.
Seed, half the twine and half the
threshing bill cost him S453.00. Allow
ing a share of the expense Of his an
nual inspection trip, charged TO this
quarter-section even to $4,000, and he
has left 100000, that is so per cent
Of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not or per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
'That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing a number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. H. Kerton, tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought quarter
section of improved land at $4,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds Of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916. he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him
week ago: "Well, George, what shall
I tell friends down home for you?"
The reply was: 'Tell them I shall
never go back to be tenant for any
man." Another man. Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devotes
most of his time to raising and deal
ing In live stock. On his first visit OF
inspection to Saskatchewan. he real
lied the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. SO his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: "Lct na-
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There is money
in it."-Advertisement.

In order to make the most ecOnomi-
cal gains it is necessary to have the
utility or heavy breeds of fowl. The
lighter breeds, as Leghorns, Minorcas,
AncOnas. etc, do not, as q rule, make
profitable gains in the fattening pen.
Cockerels Of the breeds of Rocks, Or
pingtons, Rhode Island Reds, Wyan-
dottes, Game, Dorkings, ETC., are usu-
ally preferred. When a bird is be-
tween three and four months of age it
makes the greatest gain when put in
fattening pen or crate. If the mar
ket demands heavy bird it would be
necessary to leave them on the range
little longer. as there is q li,ait to
the time that bird can be prof.tably
confined in the feeding pen.
The most economical gains are usu
ally made the first two weeks of feed
ing, and there is seldom much profit
In feeding longer than three weeks.

GATHER SPRING EGGS OFTEN
Those Intended for Hatchnu Should
Be Kept as Near Temperature of
so Degrees as Possible.

During early spring eggs for hatch
ing must be gathered several times a
day until the weather gets mild and
warm. A chilled egg is no better than
an infertile one in fact, it spoils much
quicker in the machine.
Eggs after gathering should be kept
at temperature as near SO degrees
as possible. Never allow them to re-
main in a temperature below 40 de-
grees for any length of time as then
the vitality OF the chick will suffer.
II they are allowed to remain exposed
to too warm temperature, or a great
ly varying temperature, the same
thing happens. They may hatch out
chicks all right, but the chicks will
never be robust. Leaving eggs in the
nest to be set upon and warmed up
several times during the day is anoth-
er way to lower chick vitality.
Attention to these little details pays
well in the long run. Better hatch out
100 chicks with 100 per cent vitality
than 800 and raise only about one
third of them to maturity of doubt
full vlgor.

TROUGHS USED FOR FEEDING
Oomneering Fowls Keep Timid Ores
Eack-Best to Scatter Grains in
Deep, Clean Litter.

There are donineering hens in ev-
cry flock which keep the timid ones in
Il constant state of fear and subjec-
tion. When food is given in trough
where the hens can eat their fill, the
domineering hens keep some of the
others back and often eat twice as
much as their share, while the less for
tunate ones do not get enough. The
result is both fat and skinny fowls in
the same fock-which is always un-
desirable.
The way to avoid it is not to feed
In troughs entirely, but to feed pretty
largely of dry grains, cracked grains
ard seeds, and scatter them in deep,
clean litter that cOmpels every hen to
hunt and scratch for her share, thus
giving each one an equal opportunity.

METHODS OF PICKING
Suggestions Given as TO Success
full Poultry Practices.
Much Depends on Whether Fowls Are
fer Future Consumption or for
Immediate Use-FowIs Keep
Better If Not Drawn.

Dry picking and wet picking are
Ing poultry, depending upon whether
the birds are for future consumption
CT immediate use.
Successful dry picking depends on
the proper. sticking of the fowl" said
+. e. Fox of the poultry department
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege, "as the longer the bird is left
after sticking, the harder the feathers
set. Dry picking takes trifle longer,
but if the sale of the fowl is to be de-
layed for any reason, as by shipment
or storing, it should be dry-picked.
"When the fowls are dry-picked
they are bled by thrusting a sharp
knife through the mouth until the ju-
gular vein is pierced. Blood will i'm
mediately begin to flow from the
mouth. The brain is then pierced
through the eye. This loosens the
nerves that have control over the
feathers. After this portion of the
brain has been paralyzed the feathers
readily yield themselves to the hands
of the picker.
There are two general methods of
dry-picking poultry, the bench method
and the string method. Commercial
ly, the bench method is generally pre-
ferred.
Poultry keeps better if it is not

wrapped in paper, and the feet left
intact.
'If the fowl is for immediate use, it
Is a trihe quicker to scald it and use
the wet method Of picking. In this
method the bloom is spoiled and the
bird will not keep so well. All scalded
fowls are Immediately drawn. In cold
weather one can send the birds almost
any distance by parcel post"

We have known birds left in the crate
for four or five weeks to be thinner
after being fed that length Of time
than they were at the end of the Sec
Ond week, says writer in an ex-
change.
Crate fattening will increase the
weight of a bird by one pound or a
trifle more in three weeks, the exact
amount depending on the type of bird,
the kind of feed, and the carefulness
of the feeder. When fed on mix
ture of finely ground grain, mixed to
batter in skim milk or buttermilk,
flesh of the highest quality is pro-
duced.
Chickens are not the only kind Of
fowl that are fattened in pens or
crates. In most of the poultry-fatten-
ing establishments will be found
large number of turkeys, and possibly
some water fowl.

TN THESE years of war when Eu
rope is closed to the tourist, thou
sands of American travellers are
turning to the Orient, and most Of
those who reach the coast of Asia get
a glimpse at least of the oldest foreign
colony in China. This is the Portu-
guese colony Of Macao, at the western
entrance of the Canton river and only
10 miles from Hongkong, the great
British base.
Macao is perched on a peninsula
which is itself part of the island of
Hian2shan, separated from the main
land by narrow arm Of water. 1t
was occupied by the Portuguese in
1857 and has been held ever since by
that once great maritime nation. For
nearly three hundred years the Portu-
guese paid ground rent to China for
the colony, and in 1887 the sovereignty
of Portugal was recognized by China.
The city of Macao is interesting in
various ways and, despite it's age,
much of it is well built and not I'M
handsome. Along its curviHs water
front, known as the Praya Grande. is
n long row of fine residences and other
buildings. Among the most imposing
of these is the three-story house of All
Fong, the Chinese millionaire, who
lived in Honolulu for so many years
and, after marrying his beautiful
daughters to naval officers, departed
with &ll his wealth to his mother
country. Several miles inland is All
Fong's birthplace, the village of Wong
mO-si, and there he has created a mag
nificent estate which is his favorite
place of abode in his old age.
San PauIo and camcens' Grotto.
In the most ancient part of the city
are the ruins Of San Paulo church.
This was the collegiate church of the
Jesuits and dates from the sixteenth
century. In 1885 it was destroyed by
fire, but its great front wall still
stands. There is also an old castle
that is worth seeing, and several Por-
tugueSe forts that are garriSOned in
ordinary times by 500 soldiers, and
visitors of a commercial bent will wish
to inspect the cotton, canning and oil
factories and the brick and cement
works that, aside from fishing, COM
prise the chief industries of the place.

most interest in Macao is the grotto
