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. cracked corn, equal parts by weight,' make the beat: scratch grein..

This helps to keep the hens busy. A good 417 mash consists of , equal pests by weight of bran, mid- dlings, ground oats, corn meal and; Meat scrap. It is a general rule that' the hens should eat about 'fifty per cent. mash and fifty per cent. scratch grain, but it is found that hens which 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 poultry. 'Semi-solid buttermilk is used in feeding the contest pens at the rate of two and one-half pounds per day per 100 hens. Mineral ratter is essential in the hen's ration, and the charcoal is useful as a tonic. The oyster shell furnishes lime, but is not a substitute for grit. Green feed helps to increase fertility and keep up egg production through out the year. f Sprouted oats or sprouted barley 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 io meet a belt need of bis wins both mmediate and lasting appreciation. Wise, therefore, is the parent who is not so cumbered with much serving of a material sort as to fel{ the boy br girl hi acre of cotnradely helpful- `z>,ess.

Y 0 1 I 1ehee, Ar It is the desire of many farmers raising sheep to increase the flocks by raising twin lambs, not only on ac- count of their additional increase. thereby, but also because of the satis- faction had from growing twin lambs. A farmer who keeps sheep on a small scale told me recently and with much satisfaction, that he had suc- ceeded in raising twenty-two lambs from eleven sheep, which constituted provided for each person. his entire flock.

Then assign these dates as request- ed by the organizations present, being careful to get sufficient variety to please younger children, older school children, employed boys and girls, young married couples, middle-aged and old folks.

I RYE IN CANADA -7779 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.
