Tenant!! 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. My plan ,is to raise early pullets, •culling the flock .earefully clueing November.'

Durin,g the holiday season is 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 • good appetite for a late breakfast. I have large windows in my hen houses, so that the hens sera -ten and work in the sunshine.

I visit my chickens at least four times a day, and observe them carefully. Chickens, like eoevs, respond to a kindness and attention. They flock around nie and "caw -caw" in the most friendly man- ner. I believe that a happy and con- tented hen laya better. From a nook of about 50 hens and about 25 pullets, I have gathered in early Decenebex from 8 to 15 eggs a day, and our pullets are just begin- ning to lay nicely. I plan to keep 40 Rhode Islend Reds aled 20 White Leg-, horns in my called, flock. I find in our cold climate, where we have many nights below aero, that our Reds lay better.

Kootenay Hive Case for Wintering • Bees. Possibly no phase of 'agriculture has advanced, so rapidly as that of beekeeping. Irt many lines of farming OUT methods aro 11111Ch the same as they were a hundred' years ago. With beekeeping there has been a great evolution, and to -clay utensils and, methods are standardized throughout the whole country. Beekeepers., how- ever, are constantly on the lookout for new and still better methods of cavry- in:g on, and in the Kootenay Hive Case there is a form of winter and summer 'protection. that possesses more vir- tues and less faults then miany'of the systems now. hi vogue,' The Kootenay Hive Case is an ina- movement orr the double walled hive, It has been introduced in the form of a permanent hive ease, and is made to take the ten -frame hive, There is, a three inch space all around the brood chambers and supers. Up to the top of the brood chamber it is lcopt per manently packed with ,moss or planer shavings the year round. This is covered with small -pieces of wood to prevent the moss from falling into the hive when open. ,Beneath ,the floor of the bread chamber there is also a three-inch space -packed with moss.

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 Inapuskasing, Ontaeno, rain in late July and early August helped .grain, roots and the ensilage crops, the sec- ond growth of red clover being ex- ceptionally good.

Several agents visited me arid ,gave their esti- mates, but the figunee were too high, and none of the plants seemed to meet iiy clonmeds. "One evening, while reading an agricultural journal, I noticed a piece about a flamer in an adjoining State who had ,been facing the same prob- lem as myself. He had at last :been suecessful in installing a power plant thet exactly suited his farm. • "I read on," continued Evans,, "anti keine that this fellow's farm was a great deal like mine. His experience sounded so ptactical that I determined to go and pay him a visit. As soon as the craps weee laid by I procured a railroad map, and found that I could travel in a roundabout course and, be able to attend a state fair and several stock -judging contests. I dfscovered also, that, viith little expense, I could call on relatives and visit same inter- esting cities. I traced the whole course out on the map, with my pencil.

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.

It might also, •be said that when traps are placed, the pans should' not be much higher than the jaw levels. Too frequent use of food for bait is not wise.

Be wary of the small traveling buyers, purchasing lots wherever they may he found. As a rule, these buyers can not pay so much as the larger houses which eventually get the furs.

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 eslueatoi Musicl Yes, else is teaching music when she zings at her work or helps Jane select good music for the Vie - thole, instead of jazz.

The mother knows -this wise moth- er -educator who is asked to teach do- mestic science, how necesary it is for her little daughter to learn 'helpful- nees 111 .household duties. "I can't iron big things yet but I can iron all the hand'kerchief', daddy's and aaoth- er's and John's and mine," said little Jane with pride.
