The number of nesters neceseary to mate with a breeding flock is a debatable question and, of course, de- pends on the in.divi-duality of themale Weds. The Male 11. sometimes blamed for a lack of fertility that is due to the hens. The male is hall the flock but it is the•liene that produce the eggs. If the hens are oveafal or leek - Mg in vigor they will not produce good hatchable egageaen When mated with the best male birds. A mating is not neeessaryefer eath feebile egg as experiments have prov- ed that fertility well be present in eggs Mid by a flock as long as two weeks after the mates have been 2'e - moved. This means that the breeder mast: wait about tivo Or three weeks _before the resul-ts of accidental mat- ings' will show no effect: It has be•en found that the first eggs After a mat- ing will be infertile for about ten days. The practical value of this means that the breeders e.hould he mated up about three weeks before eggs'will be us•ed or sold for hatching. Investigations in trapnesting and pedigree hatching have proven that eome hens lay eggs which are never fertile, while other hens lay eggs that neaxly elways produce vigorous chicks. A general rule he meting is to mere eight females to a reale in the Aseptic breeds. Ten or twelve ieeneales to a raal-e brings goad re,seilts with the" American breeds like Rocks 'and Wyanclettes. Fifteen females to a melee is all eight *with Leghorns. In raany eases a larger number of fe- melee r, reale have brought very geed results but, ef course, they might not be depended upon. When the fowls are on fees range bee fertility seems to run bebter with a smaller ;member of males than when the breeding pens are closely yarded. How to Rake Goslings. The growing popularity of geese in this country inceces it advantageous :foe every farm woman to study the subject ef goose raising 11 elle wishes to make the most of her poultry, and gain the greatest profit from the food which the teem produces, While hens are almost an essential beoauee of the feed which they eave, geese in con- nection with hens will bring in sur- prising returns for the time and money invested. We have found that they net only keep themselves during the summer and fall, on the grass and waete fruit from the =shard, but the other poultry, especially the ducks, will eat a much greater amount of herbage bee -false of running with bee geesg. _ Because of this fonaness for green stuff, th•e goslings are raised Muth more elteapty than other fowls and it is not difficult to eucceed with them if' a few simple rules are followed. I usually use hens for hatahing the eggs as ITeubators do not give very setts - If ane .prefere to raiee without a. motile; and I um?ally use that method, weep warmly in se eltinket, then fill a jug with warin water and set in the middle of the box where the goslings •csan crowd about it. Cover .all warm- ly with blankets. Be sure they are le.ept warm, though not ego waem if the weather is hot, for they are very tender the first .few weeks. When they awe from twentweeour to therty-six hours old, I give the frrst feed. Even then they will nevee eat much and sometimes will eat only grass. They /sever have the appetites for grain that young dudes develop. They ehauld be fed alone as they can- not eat as fast as dudes or chicks and there is danger that they may starve to death, Bread and milk melees the best feed, although 1 soreetimee peak.e a johnnycake of menneetd and mid- dlings with a little -wads and moisten- ed with milk ombetterneilk, then baked quite herd. When reedy to feed, mois- ten with milk or water but do not h.a;ve, it sloppy. If Itis peseible to lead iihe bread, however, it will give much better resulM and even a con- siderable expense for the first few weeks well pay in the end. If they can be kepi; from images - tion and from getting wet or cold, there should be lettle difficulty in rais- ing them. It is well to feed about five times a day for the firs; two weeks, gradually lessening the feeds until by the time they are about two months old the morning and everting feeds will be enougih. 'They requite a great amount of pasture, however, and if the weather is wet, they must bggiven plenty of chopped grass wed weeds. They should have water deep enough so they can wash out tette eyes and arranged eo they will not get wet, It is better not to give it at meal tune. If the weathee is at all favor- able, put on the grass every day, for the Mae feet will spread out if kept long on a bolted floor. One moat be eaeeful, however, that the little fel- lows do not become cola or clamp. If for any reason they are wet, wipe dry, then wrap warmly and let them dry by t'he heat of their own bodies. I have never had much success in -raise inethera after they became real wet. If they can be kept well and strong uetil they begin bo feather, there is litbue teMelele to raise them: After they are feathered they can shift for themselves Land may be turned on pasture with only a little grain. If it is pesetibleto spare an old goose to raise the little ones-, et will be 1110Te eatisfactory than any other method. 'They are not only on guard every monmert of the day and night, but they also find jut bhe food which the goslings need and will raise them on almost nothing in the way of Strange' to relate they will take them in the wet grass oe 011 the water and feed them the -coarsest feed while tee little ones grow 11101/0 tepidly than with the best of care.

Then they are easily caught and the opera- tion can be repeated ir ntu1 all the hens in the house have slipped through the email cl•oot into the crate, Electric lights and heavy feeding will help to produce winter egg's but such rnetho-ds mast not be used 011 the breeding stock which is expected to produce habehiner eggs next spring, Hens that lay ;heavily' all Winter do not produce eggs ie the spring with strong germs, Teat 18 why many farmers who melte ao effort to obtain winter eggs do produce eggs in the spring which hatch out a latge pet cent, of vigorous chicks,- ' Fteeil air in the poultry houses helps to keep the Irene healthful.

Fertile soils metain sufficiency of the three most essential elements for growing plants, nitrogen, phosphorus and potash. Should slily of these be lacking plants cannot grow satiefae- eerily. The two letter elements are found in the mineral soil particles and also in the vegetable matter that is in the soil. The former, nitrogen, is found in thos vegetable' matter only. Thus, it will be seen that a soil de- ficient in vegetable matter is lacking in nitiogon. . . Nitrogen, eve find, wbee buying commercial fertilieers, is the most expensive plant food element, costin(1 et least 25 cents per pound. If the fertilizee eantains 4 per cent. of nitrogen tee coat for this element in one ton would he $20.

Subsequent ape plientione of one ton every three years usually suffices to maintain freedom from acidity. • Among the many tests conducted at the Experimental Statien, Kentville, 14.13.„ tee one carried on in half -acre plots is of particular int:mese There was little apparent difference in the crop of grain on the plots and the average of four half -acre plots which were limed'when seeding down at the eate of 2 tons per acre was 42 bushels and 15 pounds of opts, anceen the two half -acre plots net limede 39 ;bushels and 31 pounds per acre. After the oats were cut there was a noticeable differencein the clover growth in fay= of the limed -areas and the yield of bait the following year averaged 4,560 pounds per acre from the four limed plots, and 2,480 pounds per acre from the two plots not limed, a differ- ence in favor of liming amounting to 2,080 pounds of clover hay per acre. When thee land was plowed there was O decidedly marked difference in the amount of root development be favor of the lim-ed areas, thus greatly in- creasing the ;store- of vegetable matter and nitrogeneearrying maberials. Lime, therefon, is most valuable as a soil builderimeause it producea. a suitable environment for the clover plant through which farm soils can be built up most economically. The co-operative spirit must grow slowly. Itis, in fact, a point of view, and the farmer acquires it as a perm- anent conviction only when it comes to bine step' by step, out of the abun- dance of his vwn experience.--Poveell.

On most ef OUT farms there is a vast amount of both these roes -pages which we must plate to utilize as far as ppssible' .but as for making either one or both;of them sustaining feed's, especially daring the winter months, it is not at all advisable. It has been esthete:tea that on a farm having a rotation of torn, small grains, and .elover there is Lebo= two tons of maghages peaduced for every ton of grain. This- would mean over one ton of roughage produced, and every one of us would consider that a very low figure a -hen our grain yields ate fairly substantial or well above the average.

For years I leave diseentinuere en- tirely stimulative fee -ding for early brood as experience proves that na- meal stores are best. •If the colonies 'went into winter quarters abundantly supplied, there will be enough present for them to roar a brood in bhe na- tural way; gad, after ale; the nearer we folio nature the better will be the results. There IITO exceptions to tlee rule, however. Spring feeding is .ampay justifie-cl where the colonies are eeally seriously depleted in both bees and supplies., and feeding may under such conditions be a decided ativanta.ge. Even then it is better be give ea -ch colony just what it needs at one feed- ina rather than to extend it over a period of days, or even weeks, The ;best plan is to give it to the meanies in an overhead feeder right over the broad neat, packing peace ;or other wattle material about the feeder eo that there will be no loss of warmth from the hive, as bees that are chilled will be in no condition to carry the syrup down. When spring feeding is necessary, use equal parts of pure geanuitated sugar and hot weber, mixed with a quart of extracted honey. This makes an ideal feed. It should be given to the colonies while the syrup is warm, and preferably toward ev-eninge The time of removal of bees front wetter quarters must depend upon local coaditions. Generally awaking, the time is favorable when the maples and pussy-wielews •bl•ootte PI When the colonies -are removed from their welt= • quarters, care ahould be taken to guard against apring dwindling, hecau.se of the ;change of temperature from indoors to outdoors.

An insight into t'ne progress that is being; made in agricultural instru•c. awl, both for 'adults and juniors, in to be gathered from the' report on the Agrioultniki Instruction Act for 1919- 20, recently submitted to the Domin- ion Parliereent. Mater this Act, $1,- 100,000 is now divided annually be. tween the nine peovireces of Canada with a view, as the report says, al aiding and advancing the farming in- dustry a Canada. • That the objecte sought are being ;attained is shown by the review of the situation regarding agricultural iiestruetiorre as it now exists in tithe country, Schools have been establiehed, colleges extenelee and brought eearer to the farmer, TY - search 1103 been greaay enteureired, the ;Agra:lateral repreeentative sys- tem has been aide51. and teetered, home life improved, school fairs have been brought into beleg, and lcnowledge in every branch of agriculture and dom- estic science has been made more readily a-vailable. How the fungi forthcoming ureder the Act are sup- plied is illustrated by the fact that of an allotment, $258,413 was clevoted in 1919-20 to the Agricultural Repre- sentative system, end $644,070 to stimetion and demonstration.

How importer -it a figure in the direct advancement of agricultural instruction the Act is will perha.ps be best appreciated by the fact that in the six years of its existence $1,890,143 has been ;allocat- ed to colleges and schools of a.gricul. ture, exclusive of veterinary collegee, to ,which a special grant of $20,000 is made annually.
