few HINTS FOR P0ULTRYMEN
Hen Houses Must Not 30 Kept Too
Warm, but They Must Be Dry and
Free From All Drafts.

While the hen houses must not be
kept too warm they must be dry and
free from drafts If you wish your
fowls to be healthy.
1t is claimed that the flesh of fowls
can be favored by feeding herbs and
spices. This is a common practice in
France. and it is done to some extent
in this country, especially In feeding
celery to roasters.
Don't forget that the hens want
plenty Of fresh water even II the
weather isn't hot. Laying hens are
heavy drinkers as 80 much Of the egg

RAPE MAKES SOUND
ROUGHAGE FOR SWINE
Crop Seeded Early in April Should
Be Ready for Pasturage
Early in June.

To provide good, succulent pasture
for the swine, e few acres should be
seeded to rape, according to J. S. COT
fey of the animal husbandry depart
ment, Ohio state university. Rape
seeded early in April should be ready
for pasture early in June, if the sea-
son is favorable and the soil fertile.
Ordinarily an acre of rape will furnish
enough pasture for two sows and Is
pigs during the summer and fall.
Dwarf Essex is regarded as the best
variety to plant and generally costs
about Is cents per pound. Ordinarily
the rape is sown by itself on a care
fully prepared seeded at the rate of
five or six pounds per acre. 1t may be
broadcasted or drilled and some pre-
fer to SOW it in rows Is inches apart
thus making lanes for the swine to
walk in, so that the loss from tramping
is lessened.

PAYS FOR 1850

This story Of paying for your land
out of one years crop is fully anthem

Western Canada.
And now, all that the farmer makes

extensively into stock raising, for all
authorities agree that in short time
there will be demand for i've stock,
such as even will tax the vast re-
sources of Western Canada. They
will go into stock raising because Of
the adaptabilty Of the country to pro-
vide food and fodder without feeding

stock and improve their places. They

On the line Of the Grand Trunk Pacific
does not appear to the ordinary OBJ
server to be any better than many
other districts along that line, and
probably isn't. It was In this district
that John Larcome, q settler, pur-
chased in 1915 100 acres Of raw prai-
RE land. He broke and seeded So
acres. His crop turned out well, and
he sold the greater portion of 1t for
s2,970 His land cost him S16.50 per
acre, or S2,640 So that the crop from
the So acres paid for the land and left
a balance of over $500, which with
part Of the crop left over would just
pay for the cost Of operation. This
is not really an unusual case, hundreds
Of other farmers in Alberta and Sas-

PLANT FRUIT TREES IN SPRING OR FALL

case OF peach trees, cut off all side
limbs close to the trunk and shorten
the main trunk. A peach or Japanese
plum will produce new limbs from the
main stem. These sprout strong new
limbs so readily that they may be
trimmed to single whips.
On the other hand, a cherry tree
should not have its branches cut back.
The active buds of the cherry are near
the tips of the limbs. The main trunk
has only dormant buds which do not
start readily. 1t is well to cut back
the central leader to where the tree
branches. If there are more than five
main limbs, remove all but three TO
five, leaving these even spaced to form
the framework or head of the tree.
Form Open Top.
Apples, pears and American plums,
if well branched, should have the main
leader cut out to form an open spread
ing head. The side limbs should then
be shortened one-third to one-half.
Eventually the head should be reduced
to from three TO five main limbs to
form the framework Of the tree. More
limbs may be left the first season,
however. After the tree has made a

harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup OF
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love it's pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with

When cross. irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless fruit
laxative and in few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow

again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic-remem.

always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep California

SOURCE OF INCOME
FROM FARM POULTRY
Steadily Increasing Demand for
Fresh Eggs of Superior Quail
ity at Good Prices.

Eggs for market should be the most
important source of income from the
farm flock, according to NJ. G. Kilpat-
rick Of the Ohio College of Agricul-
ture. There is a steadily increasing
demand for fresh eggs of good quail
ity at profitable prices. In addition,
eggs are produced with less labor than
other poultry products and are more
conveniently marketed.
Poultry for market should be the
second source Of income. Under pres
ent conditions, the larger part of the
poultry meat produced on most farms
is a by-product produced and sold
with little regard to the cost of pro-
duction. The poultryman should
plan his work so that while producing
eggs for market, he may obtain con-
siderable revenue from the sale of
broilers during June and July, and
fowls during September and October.

Sparrow Plague in England.

English farmers have appealed to
the government to allow them to use
poisoned wheat to destroy the spar
row pest. Fifty years ago the farm
ers were free to combat the sparrow
with poisoned wheat, but the practice
is now forbidden by law. The theory
was that game of all sorts might eat
the poison intended for the sparrows
The farmers ask that they be allowed
TO use the poison only during Deem
Der, January and February, when
these birds swarm to their lands in
search of food.

Fruit trees may be set in the fall or
In early spring. One-year-old trees are
usually preferable, if well grown,
though in the case of apple, pear,
cherry and American plums, two-year-
old trees may be used if desired.
Fruit trees are usually planted in
check rows or squares, in this state, at
the following distances apart in feet ::
Apples, % by % or 50 by 50; pears,
peaches and cherries, 20 by 20; plums,
161a by 1914.
Young trees should be set about the
Same depth that they stood in the
nursery. The color and character of
the bark shows how much of the tree
grew below ground. The holes should
be dug just deep and broad enough to
admit the roots in their natural spread
without bending them.
Trim the Roots.
The roots should be trimmed so as
to remove any broken or diseased
parts. If a ragged wound has been
left at the end of large root in Dig
ging, this part should be cut off so as
to make q smooth, clean cut.

choice of what limbs to leave and
what ones to remove.
If trees cannot be set Immediately
when they are received from the
nursery they should be 'heeled in." To
heel IN trees dig a trench one foot
deep, throwing out the earth to one
side as if turned by pillow. Place the
trees side by side with their roots in
the trench and their tops leaning over
the turned-out earth at an angle Of 45
degrees. Spade In earth over the roots
and tramp it firm. In moving earth
to cover the roots a second trench is
made parallel with the first. More
trees may be heeled in this second
trench. This may be repeated SO as
to finally leave the trees in a compact
block rather than in a single low row.
