FEEDING FOR EG( PRODUCTION
A poultry expert brought out the
'fallowing points et the institute pout-

largo. A square inch par bird per d'ay
is about right. Alfalfa meal is not
advieed as there is too much bulk for
the price you pay for it If alfalfa
is raised on the home farm, it is all
right to use as a source of green feed
for the hens.
Cabbage Is second in value to
sprouted oats, and with plenty of
cheap cabbages it might not be neves-,
sary to sprout oats. Silage is not re-
oomtnended for poultry feeding, Po.
Woes are all right if cooked The
use of a wet mash is not advised in
the spring when nature naturally
stimulates egg production, but it is
sometimes useful in the summer when
production falls and there is a need sof
stimulation. The'wet mashes are not
advised for winter feeding. Noon is
the best time for giving the wet. mash
if any is used.
A fresh supply of water .must al-
ways be kept at hand, It is found
that the drip system of supplying
water attracts the attention of the
hens so they will drink a larger quan-
tity.
Clean litter is always necessary for
the best results and wheat straw is
the most satisfactory, as oat straw
breaks up more readily. The hens like
to work in clean litter, and a change
is advisable every ten days or two
weeks. Do not use mouldy straw for
poultry house litter.
The only value in artificial lights is
due to the increased day. Morning
lights are advised at 4.30 or 5.00 a.m.
A dimming device is needed if you use
night lights. Keeping _ the perches
folded up during the day encourages
exercise. Changes in feed should be
made gradually over a period of ten
days to two weeks to prevent a reduc-
tion in egg production.

the hens should eat about 'fifty per
cent. mash and fifty per cent. scratch

are producing heavily may eat more
than fifty per cent. mash.
It is the mash that contains the ma-
terial for manufacturing eggs. Bran
furnishes' the bulk in the ration.
Ground oats are often. hard to get
without too much hull. They should be
ground as fine as possible. Meal, scrap
is better than tankage for feeding the

Mineral ratter is essential in the

lime, but is not a substitute for grit.
Green feed helps to increase fertility

are a fine source of green feed. They
TRAINING OUR
CHILDREN
A dear woman of my acquaintance
spenther childhood and pioneer con-
ditions in the Canadian hush. As the
family sons were all daughters it soon
became her task to bring home the
cows pastured fully a mile away.
One afternoon, as she was running
down the brush bordered lane which
was the last of her route, the child
saw what appeared to be a very
strange animal with downbent head
and terrifying horns. She stopped and
watched from a safe distance, but it
remained in the sante menacing atti-
tude at the side of the lane.
If there had been some other way
to reach the cows and drive them
home, Laura would have gone on, but
she felt that no little girl ought to get
any nearer to that peculiar creature.
She ran in panic to the place where
her father was at work.
He assured her that there were no
dangerous animals about and said she
must have taken fright at one of the
steady old cows. Laura couldn't be-
lieve this, she was certain it was some
monster very different from anything
with which she had had to do, but of
course it might have gone away, so
she dutifully started back.
The creature had not left the lane,
and the early dusk made it appear
even more formidable than before.
Back she ran in tears. This time the
father .left his work, took the child
by the hand and, talking calmly, led
over the whole way again, so that
she could sea with her own eyes how
harmless was whatever had frightened
her.
It proved to be just a dead tree that
• the child had daily passed in uncon-
cern till something in the atmosphere
of this afternoon, or the angle from!
which she first caught sight of the
gaunt old ruin, stimulated the young;
imagination to transform it into a
frightful beast.
In her womanhood Laura cherished
this experience as one of the most pre -1
Mous memories of her father. Ile was i
a somewhat stern, man, preoccupied
with h . many tasks, exacting, if judg-1
ed by modern standards, and she knew,
what it meant for a farmer to leave'
his work and patiently walk a mile)
beside a frightened child.
Yet for him to have gone after those
cows by himself would not have meant
nearly as much. A. man who did that
would be likely to say: "You were
scared of just an old dead tree!" Such
a statement, no matter how kindly
given, back in the home kitchen, would
have bruised the child's spirit. There
is doubt if it could have fully con-
vinced her.
Taking time with a child in need is
et far more valuable service than in-
vestments of time, patience and effort
Merely given for him. What skill is
required to impress the ordinary child
with the importance of anything that
is merely done for him; Whereas the
kindly service undertaken with him

mmediate and lasting appreciation.

RYE IN CANADA

Continued agitation by those inter-
osted in the growing of rye, especially
among the farmers of Western Can-
nda, has brought about greater inter
est in this cereal and a consequent
increese in the area under cultivation
to this crop, with the result that the
farmers in the Prairie Provinces in
" 1924 harvested more than 11,000,000'
bushels, with an estimated value of
$14,000,000, Thea is a splendid show--
ing in view of the fact that produce
tion of this crop on an extensive scale
has only been undertaken within the
past decade, and to -day the rye acre-
age amounts•to approximately 8 per
cent. of that in wheat.
!~duction of rye at the present
time is mainly confined to the southern
part of the Prairie Provinces. This
'area has been found to be eminently
suitable for the growing of this crop,
and as the winter variety is grown ale
Most exclusively, it has been found
particularly suitable for growing by
mixed farmers. According to the lett-
eat statistics,rcovering the fiscal year:
• ending March 31st, 1924, the area
under cultivation to this cereal is 648,-
000 acres.' This is practically the
same as in the previous year, but com-
pared with four or five years ago rep-
resents an increase of several hundred
per cent, in acreage.
STEADY INCREASE IN ACREAGE.
The output has kept pace with the
increase in_ acreage.' In 1915, the rye
Yield was 2,486,200 bushels, obtained
from an exceptionally heavy average
yield of 20.43 bushels to the acre. The
value of the crop in that year was
$1,921,200. In the next two or three
years there was little change in the
acreage planted to this crop or in the
yield; but in 1918 a large increase was
recorded, production having risen to
8,504,400 bushels, with a value of
$12,728,600, more than double that of
the previous year. In 1920 and 1921
further increases were reported and
returns far the year 1922-23 show a
production of approximately 11,000,-
000 bushels, but with a low value ow-
ing to the drop in price of practically
all agricultural products. For the past
year, 1923-24, production was 11,250,-
000
1,250,
000 bushels, about the•same es the
preceding year, but, due to improved
conditions, the value had increased to
314,000,000.
Exports of rye from Canada in the
past two or three years have fluctu-
ated•to some extent, but with the ex-
ception of the fiscal year1923-24, ship-
ments to foreign markets have made
appreciable advances each year. In
1915, the quantity of rye exported only
amounted to 263,422 bushels. This
had increased in 1922-23 to the recnrd
figure of 10,129,350 bushels, valued at
$8,152,350, but dropped to 6,823,416
bushels worth $4,434,286 in the past
year. Of the 6,823,416 bushels export-
ed in 1923-24, 5,301,524 bushels went
to the United Kingdom; 916 bushels to
the United States; 159,110 bushels to
Belgium; 55,922 bushels to Denmark;
1,500 bushels to France; 341,923 bush-
els to Germany; 345,145 bushels to
the Netherlands; 359,085 bushels to
Norway; and 258,291 bushels to other
countries. Belgium and France were
new customers.
RYE FLOUR.
In addition. to the export of the raw
product, a small quantity of rye flour
was shipped to the United Stxtas, ant -
punting to 3,284 barrels, meth. $12,-
864. In 1921, 10,833 barrels of flour,
valued at $104,613, were.cxpocrted,
while in the previous year th tatul
had been 85,786 barrels w nth 4110,-
768. This branch of the industry seems
to be dying out through lack of de-
mand and interest.
The future of rye growing in C,ur•
nda seems to be assured This cereal
is the staple crop and the staple food
of Central Europe. In racy parts of
the Continent the people rue too poor
to eat wheat bread and are come-
thuently forced to the con.,tnnption of .
e coarser and cheaper rye. Profile,
tion in those countries using this cer-
eal as a food seldom is great enough
to meet the demand, and as long as
Canada continues to raise rye for ex-
port there will always be a steady
market for it at prices sufficiently
good to compensate the farmer for
growing this crop. '
