0VercrOwding, and soil contamination,
but the young stock reared under such
conditions will grow faster and better.
Where 1T is inconvenient to distribute
large stock as widely as Is necessary
to secure permanently the fine sani-
tary condition of land desired, the
same result is obtained in growth by
rotation which places young birds al
ways on land not used for poultry the
preceding year.
In backyard poultry keeping scru-
pulous cleanliness is essential. The
night droppings should be removed
early in the morning. Those which
fall on the floor of the house and In
the yard should be removed as often
as is necessary to get them before
they become finely broken and so
mixed with the litter of the floor or
the soil of the yard that much of such
material must be taken up with them
Frequent turning of the soil in small
yards is desirable, but ought not to be
accepted as proper substitute for re-
moval of droppingS there. If these are
simply turned under in soil in which
no vegetation is growing there is tenn
porary Improvement, but after short
time conditions become so bad that
renewal of the soil to q considerable
depth is necessary. Clay soils should
be frequently and literally treated
with lime.
Good sanitation checks the rapid
multiplication Of lice and mites, but
does not destroy them. For this the
appropriate insecticides should be
used. In series of tests of insect
cides by the bureau of entomology
sodium fluorid was found most effec-
tive, completely destroying all lice
present at the time of application, and
making the birds treated Immune TO
attacks of lice for some time. The
methods of using sodium fluorid for
lice and of graduating mites are given

immigration Promises to
Set New ReCord-SmaIIest
Since the Colonial DAYS

When the present fiscal year ends,
June 30, it is highly probable that q
new immigration record will be set
the smallest since colonial days, says
the Washington Herald.
immigration statistics of the first
six months indicate that the years
total may be less than 100000 persons.
For the half-year ending January /,
1918, only 57,715 came to America, and
since then the monthly totals have
dwindled to a few thousands.
The war, of course, is responsible.
The real dwindling began when the
United States entered the war. Since
that day only one country has sent
anything like the normal number of
immigrants. That is Japan, which
country now leads all nations In send
ing immigrants to America. Japanese
immigration this year will reach $4,000
as against 1925 in 1917, Sill in 1916
and 5000 in 1915. During the first
half of this fiscal year 6,00S Japanese
arrived and they've been coming over
at the rate of more than a thousand
a month.
Italy, which before the war sent
over seven times as many immigrants
as Japan then did, this year will send
less than third as many
Mexico, which sent 16,43S immi-
grants in 1917, will send less than
three thousand this year.

The smallest economical crew for
bringing hay from the field and put

common practice is to load the wagon
with hand forks and unload 1t with
the horse fork or sling. This arrange

load and one man to build the load on
the wagon and drive the team. When
the load is on, all three men go to the
barn to unload. At the barn one man
works in the NOW, one sticks the hay
fork on the wagon, and the third
man drives the team on the rope. No
time is lost, except that lost by the
two pitchers in travelling between the
barn and the field. In the East the
average distance between these points
Is quarter of q mile or less.

On most average-sized farms in the

season, the hay that was moved the
day before. In the forenoon the third
man does not work at haying at all,
but is free to do other farm work,
such as blowing corn, etc.

to keep up the period of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women OF Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers

are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who. for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
blowing. seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock, and have
a splendid herd of shorthorns. both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased new
purebred stock bull for 500. Their
herd was last year increased by %

have demonstrated. and are still DEM

Now let us suppose that 1t is decid-

as well as the raking, and see how this
arrangement affects the size of the
crew. Such a method requires anoth-

crew of five men working In the hay
field In the afternoon only. There will
be one man moving, one raking the
hay moved the day before, and three
men bringing hay from the field and
putting 1t into the barn. Two more
horses will also be required with this
method, making a total of six, yet
this larger crew will handle no more
hay per day than the three-man crew
above described.
The amount of hay that can be
handled under these conditions will
be from 40 TO 60 acres, depending upon
the yield. If the hay loader is used
more hay can be handled per day. The
two pitchers work on the wagon build
