Hew Keep My Hena Leering When
Eggs Are Dear„
I -have found then the 'event of
making the chicken business pay le
to get hens to lay when prices ate
high. When 1 first started' I found
that the emblem was to get hens to
lay in 'Nevem:bee and December, and
so, nor two yeas I have been giving
much thought and' attention to our
hens tiering these two months. This
extra effort has, :been decidedly profit-
able, At flint I was oat very success-
ful, leut this, year I have been getting
eggs which bring ,e, peemiunt of five
cents the dozen, above market priee.

a good time to get rid of these loafer
hens, as there is a demand for them
then at a good price.
Selling liens in November and De-
cember helve also to keep your
monthly inceme balanced, as you ean
never expect to Secure as, many eggs
at that time a's during the other
months. Also, by reducing the size of
the`flock in November and December,
the :better hens have more room dur-
ing the winter months when they
must be confined, indoors. The reduc-
tion in the feed bill helps, too.
In culling our flock recently, I was
surprisedeto find a lot of body lice on
a few hens, This led to a second ex-
amination of eacle hen, The racists
and nests were carefully cleaned, and
treated with ncerosete; then every
hen 'was powdered with sodium' fluor-
ide to kill the lice.
During November and December my
cbickens are fed most carefully. Early
every morning they are given WOM11
milk; their houses are 'cleaned out, and
floors covered with Takings and al-
falfa hay. The hens immediately be-
gin to scratch, and soon get up a

Kootenay Hive Case for Wintering

The Kootenay Hive Case is an ina-

It has been introduced in the form
of a permanent hive ease, and is made
to take the ten -frame hive, There is, a

To pack for winter all' that is nec-
essary is to have one "lift" above the
brood chamber peeked with moss or
planer Shavings. To facilitate the
packing we have pillows made from
mose anctgunny eacka Net the eine of
the story or lift. The cover is then
added ,an,d the bee's are packed for the
winter. The :only attention required
is to keep the entrance cleared of
.dead bees.
The bees have more winter protec-
tion in this case th:an in the double -
walled hive, while the temperature in
the hive is coeleT and more uniform
in summer, There is not the trouble
of packing in the fall at& unpacking
in the spring as he the case of the
ordinary double walled hive or the
Ontario wintering ease. It is less
expensive then the double -walled hive,
'as it is constructed- largely from ship -
lap. The bees ,come through the win-
ter in good shape and, commence 'work
early in the spring. B,e-ekeeperswould
be well advised to give it a trial as
it has many excellent featutes.

Crop Yields at the Dominion
Experimental Farm.
Some interesting facts regarding
the past season's, crop conditions are
to be gathered from the reports of
the score of Dominion Experimental
Perms and Stations scattered through-
out the country. At Ottawa the yield
of grain and roots were 'below the
average, oats averaging 35 bu•sbels to
the acre, barley. 39 bus,hels, and spring
wheat 16,5 bushels. Potatoes, and
roots suffered from drought. At
Charlottetown, , P.E.L, whe-at was
above the average, elle field averaging
43 bushels to the item oats were
sheet and thin in the straw; barley
WRS almost up to the average; routs
potatoes weTe good. At Kentville,
N.S., ereps suffered from want of rain
and are less, than usual, potatoes not
being much more than half -a crop.
At Nappen, N.S., grain, although
short in the straw, was a .fetir crop;
potatoes suffered from Sec:eight, but
were of good quality. At Fredericton,
N.B., late:planted, potatoes, grain, and
roots were 70 ,per cent of teal yield.
At St. Anne de la Pocatiere, Quebec,
potatoes were disappointing, but the
grain was of good quality. At Gap
Ropge, Que., the yield of grain was
below the average, but potatoes did
well and corn was a -record yield. At
Lennoxville, Que., grain was light and
short in straw and potatoes, were from
50 to 75 per cent. of normal, , At

and none of the plants seemed to meet

What Not to Do When Trapping
" BY GEORGE J. THIESSEN
Most guides to trapping tell chiefly low this plan will mean general satis-
what to do on the line. Tattle atten-
tion is given handicaps that must be
avoided. Since they are important -
probably as much' so as anything else
-it would be well to consider the
vaTious things which the pelt hunter
should not do.
First of all, a great many young
trappers -and some old ones too --
take dogs with them over the ground.
This is probably natural when the
animal is a .companion. However, the
sent often remains for days; some-
thing ea,sily detected and dreaded., by
minks especially. The dog is ahnost
sure to dig into dens, or nose about
spots where raccoons or opossums
may be in the habit ,of coining fre-
quently. This ,means that such places
are u,seless for sets. In the case of
minks, the fur -bearers often leave the
vicinity altogether.
Tobaccen-aehes and juice -ought
not to he scattered over the line. Even
smoke near places where the more
cunning animals travel, frequently
causes the best sets to fail. These
small things, seemingly of 710 im-
portance, should be remembered by
every pelt :hunter if he wants to make
the most money from his work.
Never use crows; hawks, buzzards
nor similar bait when after smaller
animals. These birds are ,enemies;
instead of attracting, they 'repel.
Avoid steel for fastenings, so far
as possible. This els ,especially true
when after foxes, wolves, minks and
similar animals. If stakes me made,
do away with shavings. Newly chop-
ped wood gives a hint of man. Keener
animals are wary of the

Too frequent use of food for bait is
not wise. It hes a tendency to warn
the more cunning game.
Never overlook an opportunity to
study the habits of fur -bearers. Time
spent doing this always pays 'big re-
turns.
Be wary of the small traveling

Who is Jane's Teacher?—By Anne Goodwin Williams
"Who is Jane's teacher?" we asked
of the mother of a eberming little
eight-year-old girl. The mother men-
tioned the name of Jane's teacher in
the public school and then together
we performed.some arithmetical prob-
lems to prove that "Miss Bennett"
was only one of Jane's many teachers
and that her teaching hours were less
than those of some of the others,
Suppose, we said, that Jane sleeps
from seven &deck until seven, then
1)1 0 year she has 4,380 waking hours
-and only e,000 of those hours aro
spent en school during the year. What
oe the 3,380 hours remaining? Who
is teaching Jane, then? She is certain-
ly learning. Sometimes . her play-
mates are her tcachere, with Mesons
sometimes helpful, sometimes herm-
fut. The father's teaching hours are
limited In Sundays and holidays with
an occasional evouing hour, the Sun-
day School teacher may get twenty-
five hours n year, but of course. the
real teachm is the mother.' Every
clay of the year, she teaches bet little
daughter; even during • the child's
sickness Mesons continue, lessons of
patience, gentleness and, self-control.
If anyone were to ask of the school
teacher that elm teach nensm, art,
literature, demesne science and man-
ual training, she would know it was
impossible. And yet, that is just what
is demanded of -the mother as an

Jane select good music for the Vie -
thole, instead of jazz. And as she
arranges her home tastefully, with
appropriate :picturce, she is often un-
consciously forming the child'taste

The mother knows -this wise moth-

her little daughter to learn 'helpful-

iron big things yet but I can iron all

Jane with pride.
