If ii ge toe tete to secure proper Condi- tions for this season it is nos too late to get ready for next year. Nr, Matter for what purpose breed- ing is carried on, to get best results it -is.necessary to know what is back of each individual in the' Mating. . 'From a practical standpoint "The hen that lays is the hen that pays," so it is frgm this'standpoint that the mating of the ions.will be consider- ed. First • of all 'to- know the individ- uel pedigree of each bird it is ne- cessary either to use single 'tnattngs or to trarnnest and, you can bank on it, if you are to do good, careful breeding either one of •these methods must be followed. The single mating 1-ystem served its purpose; it was good but •extrava- ' gent, By the use of trap -nests a male may be elated to a flock of females and the same accurate re- sults obtained as was the- case where the individual mating was used. If trapnesting has been practised, a number' o.l' the most vigorous high producing hens will have been re- served from last year's layers, , If no trap nest records are. available fiv which to select your breeders, de- pendence will have to be placed up- on selection from external eharaccee- istics. Providing they are in good, vig'or•- ois condition the late moulters may .safely be retained as :toe best pro- ducers. These yearlings should •make most valuable breeders. Do not try to force them, let them come in to lay- ing- naturally and they should be in the best possible breeding condition at the proper time. Early, well developed pullets may .also be used to advantage. Again the trap nest records should be used as a basis for selection. If it is not possible to trap the year round, try to trap for the winter months, tieing these records as a basis for se- lection. If trap nesting is out of the question', select those pallets that have been laying heavily up to the time of mating. This can readily be told by the fading. of the shanks. To those females that have been selected should be,mated, either cocks that have been tried out and whose daughters have been heavy produc- ers or vigorous, evell-matured 00c- kare:'is the sons of hens that have been heavy producers and whose daughters, the sisters of the cocker- els, have indicated that they 'will be heck y producers. if .you have not been doing careful individual breeding, it will be advis- able to secure breeding males ffon a breeder who has and of whom you can depend. • To se:ccLi:ng the breeder's both male and female vigour should ever be the watchword. Do not use stiumulaits to force pro- duction; he careful not to "get the birds over fat; feed sparingly on whole grain, especially to 'tine old bons and make then scratch for all they get; reed lots of green feed, such as sprouted oats, clover hay and see that the breeders' keep healthy and hustling, and the result will be success.

Bovied over peeve Young of Ool- borne. township. In ]:ha council the motion itorninatinn; h.ni wilts moved by Mr, Conlon Yoting talo seconded by Mr. Matthew Armstrong. It was carried unanimously. Maple sugar is becoming more and more a luxury. This. is probably not so much due to. the increase in price as it is to improvement in -quality re- sulting from better methods of Yap- ping anti. treatment, and to the con- sequent greater appreciation of maple products by the eonsuaner. Reeduceci production of late year:; has also been a faotor, the quantity placed en the market not having kept pace with the increased derpand, from a pamphlet on the Maple •Sugar Indus. try Just issued,. of which J ,B. Spen- cer,.B, S. A., Director 'of the Publicity Breneh of the Department.of Agri= culture, .Ottawa, is the author, it is gathered' that the production • of maple sugar, together with its equiv- alent in syrup, increased year by year, from 1850 to 1890, but since that period has slightly declined. The average annual production frons 1881 to .1891 was 22,500,00 pounds., Be- tween 1891 and 1901 the yearly av- erage was 21,200,000 pounds, audirin recent .years it bas been rather less than 20,000,000 pounds. Despite the decrease in production, the value of the industry Po the country, which is placed around two million dollars, has not fallen off. On tee contrary it has increased owing to the product becoming better known abroad, due to ,sone extent to the war, when con- siderable quantities were shipped to Canada's soldiers. In Gluenec prov- ince, which is the centre of the In- dustry, drastic laws have been adopt- ed to preserve the purity of the sug- ar and syrup, instruction. in the map- ufacture has been systematically car- ried on by the provincial government, and The Pure Maple Sugar and Syrup Co-opertive Agricultural Asso- ciation has cone into being. Quebec produces about 1.4,300,000 pounds annually, while Ontario is credited with but 5,000,000 pounds • and the Martime Provinces with one half a million ponds. It is estimated In all that nearly 50,000 people are act- ively engaged each season in the ' production. The pamphlet, which is lavishly and appropriately illus- trated, deals with every detail of cul- tivation, manufacture and develop- ment of the industry and prophesies ai bright future for maple products, provided the maker will but adopt rind follow the best methods.
