hygienic principles will never lack eus-

the piofits. It should be remembered
that dirt and foul odors quiekly taint
dairy products and inoculate them with
disease germs. It is for thfa reaeon
that sterilized' and suaranteed milk is
s,o much appreciated and finds" such

etarted for a trip to the Pacific coast,
in the hope that my health would fur-

to visit a sister in Southern Alberta,

it may sometimes be poseible to cur.:,
this conditiop. by medical treatment,
but unless the birds aro very valuable
it will be mare profitable to kill the
sufferers end devote all energy to
finding the contributing condition and
correcting It in the rest of the flock.
The other type of the ailment le
most likely .to occur among Young
birds that have taut insufficient green
feed, and have as a result attempted
to swallow .a cabbage rib, a tough
blade, of grass, or eolne other bulky
article, which has obstructed the out-
let of the crop and has filially be-
come so impacted, together with other
food, that the mass presses on. the
windpipe, or fermentation sets in, and
induce e ft form of poisoniug. Thin
type of crop -bound is usually easily
recognized, as a moment's careful
massaging of the crop will locate the
offending matter.,"
The treatment usually prescribed is
an injection' of castor oil into the
crop, followed by massage and an
effort to remove the contents through
the mouth. However, this is a mat-
ter of some difficulty, and often, be-.
cause of the size or shape of the
offending •ruptter, ia-notiling less than
impossible,
in such a case there is but one
remedy -a surgical operation. If the
bird is a 'vigorous one, a pound or
more in weight, the operation is not
difflcult nor very risky
,Preferably, one person should hold
the bird while another performs the
operation. The light should be good
and the air fresh and clean, to lessen
the danger of infection. The instru•
meets needed are a very sharp knife
or scalpel, a pair of small scissors, a
spoon, and a needle threndod with
white cotton thread, white silk or our -
glee' gut.
With the scissors trim closely the
feathers from a space one by two
inches over the crop a,nd shorten any
others that may be in the way. With
the fingers of the left hand draw tile
skin tight, and carefully make an in-
eision'in the outer, skin near the cen-
tre of ;the crop. Insert the point of the
scissots' and enlarge the slit until it
is elefut an inch and a half long.
Some • small blood vessels will be
plainly seen, but it is usually easy to
avoid .cptting any except the very
smallest. If a few drops ot blood
flow, remove them with absorbent
cotton. •
Carefully draw the slit in the skin
about half an inch to one side, and
make a cut through tile crop wall,
enlaizing it also with the sciseors.
Remove the contents of the crop, using
the spoon handle as a scoop. Wasik

POULTRY NOTES.
Nothing does growing stock so
much good as a change on to clean,
dry land:Any moveable houses should
be moved onto land directly crops aro
removed.
Do not allow 41, diseased bird to re-
main in the flock. No matter what is
the complaint, isolate and be on the
safe side. Unless with very valuable
stock, the cheapest way out is to kill
at once whilst it has some food
value,
• The old theory of a dozen years ago
that chicks must be fed early and late
and every two hours is dead. Five
times daily for the first week, four the
second, and after that three feeds daily
will grow the best of stock.
Broody hens will do quite well for
winter rearing, but should not have
more than ten chicks. With brooders,
the temperature must be closely
watched, starting at 90 degrees and
cooling down about a degeee a day.
The so-called 100 -chick brooder is the
best size, -with not more than 50 in it.
At the Present price of eggs, it pays
to inerease the nitrogenous part of the
foods, Birds so fed are, now moulting
easily, and most of them laying the
whole time. Correct feeding sems to
be the most important factor in poul-
try management.
Prepare now for the 1016 season. In
no business is an early start so essen-
tial as in poultry. A few weeksdif-
fe.rence often makes the difference bel
tween profit and loss For winter lay-
ers it is the early hatches that matte
the largest profits. Espeeially is the
beginner wise in getting early hatches
if properly equipned for the work.
Purchase breeding fowls in NOM;
in"r, that they may' bete:nue necustortieu
to the new quarters and be ready to
shell out eggs early in January and
February for hatchable quality, "Alueit

Year in 1010, Already a demand has
been noticed for eeplipment and stock.
The only discouraging feature, whieit
will improve with education along the
line, is the demand for cheap goods.
Poultry writers shoulj discourage the
beginner from the purchase of eggs
for hatching day-old chicks or stock
at but market quotations. Cheap goods
can /lever give lasting returns, and are
dear iu the long run.
Colds will be frequent in the wet
season. Preclieeosing eauSes are hot
mashes and sufficient ventilation.
'When sneezing commences, art astrin-
gent such as a teaspoonful of sul-
phate of copper to sixty fowls or 100
three -parts -grown chicks, daily, melt-
ed and mixed in the soft food, will
probably be sufficient to stop it. If
not, they must be put in a large house
and kept at an even temperature. For
medicines, five drops spirits of Cam-
phor, or three drops tincture of acon-
ite, or six drops of eucalyptus oil are
all good, once daily
OUR PRIVATE POWER PLANT
Nature Produced It, and Science
Has Never Equaled It.
The most et:Implicated manufacturing
plant that ever existed is the human
body asi controlled under the scientific
management of the brain and nervous
system. No factory ever housed a
more efficient producer plant for con-
verting fuel into energy. No plant ever
had so well designed a pumping sys-
tem nor one so perfect for the dis-
posal, or waste and sewage. Talk of
heating and ventilating up to date or
interdepartment telephone! The best
that our modern science can pert into
our shops is crude indeed as compared
with that furnished by the Great De-
signer. Suppose that you went to a
pump manufacturer with the follow-
ing epecifcation:

Do you think the manufacturer
would bid for the job? If he were a
