COMFORTABLE FOWL is BEST
Poultry to Do Well Should Not Be Ex-
posed to Severe Weather in
Fall and Winter.

That farm flocks are often too much
exposed to the weather, and that the
farmer would realize more from his
poultry if he did not allow them out
doors during the fall and winter, are,
without doubt, established facts, says
A. G. Smith of the Minnesota expert
mont station. The idea often advanced
that poultry can withstand any amount
or degree of cold weather provided it
is dry, is not borne out by experience.
Poultry should not be exposed to Ell
their wind or rain in the autumn.
House the birds comfortably if you
wish eggs. Keep them In the house
after the ground freezes. Let them
out only during the middle of the day
as rule in the fall after the frost
comes. If you cannot take the trouble
to get them in early in the afternoon,
keep them In.

HANDLE PULLETS WITH CARE
Make All Changes Gradually and Keep
Roasting Quarters Dry and
Well Ventilated.

Pullets beginning to lay should be
handled with exceptional care. Do
not think because they have started
to lay that you should confine them
in their winter quarters. Make no
changes on them till the weather will
permit; then take plenty Of time in
varying the ration. Make all changes
gradually. Keep the roosting quarters
dry, well ventilated, but boarded up
tight on the north, east and west sides.
They should then have a comfortable
house, and when handled by a careful
person who understands the nature of
the hen they should produce abun-

To Western Canada belongs the dis
tinguished honor of being the holder
of all worlds championships in wheat
and oats for both quality and quantity.
For many years in succession Western
Canada has proven her claim for su-
premacy in the most keenly contested
National exhibitions and to her is cred
tied the largest wheat and Oat yields
America has known. The natural con-
ditions peculiar to Western Canada
and so adaptable to grain growing has
been an insurmountable barrier for her
competitors to overcome. In the last
few years the yields of wheat and
oats per acre nave surprised the agri-
cultural world. AS much as sixty bush
els Of wheat per acre has been grown
on some farms, while others have fur
nished affidavits showing over fifty
bushels of wheat per acre, and oats as
high as one hundred and twenty BUSH
els per acre. One reputable farmer
makes affidavit to a crop return Of over
fifty-four thousand bushels of wheat
from a thousand acres. While this is
rather the exception than the rule,
these yields serve to illustrate the fer
tility of the soil and the possibilities
of the country, when good farming
methods are adopted. Western Can
ada can surely lay undisputed claim to
