' The cerement bringright tete the
forefront the dieficulty which many
farmers fsce in the Beclsoluro breed,
They scarcely understand sufficieetly
that the breed Mae itself to two
types, almost opposite ie character.
"In the United States," says Pro-
feseer G.- E. Da.y in his work, "Pro-
ductive Swine Ilusbandry,"*"it is only
natural to expect them to conform to
She fat 05 lard type and some breed-
ers have gone rather to the extreme
in breeding for fine bone, smoothness
and quality and naglecting size a.nd
fecundity. In Canada the tendency is
to select for a lengthy, strong -boned
type, which looks sonnewthat coarse
and leggy when compared with the
extremely fine tyge, but which is a
first class fanneets hog. The demand
for the bacon type in. Canada and'
competition with the ,baconbreeas-
have had an influence in -Miming
about this modification. The Berk-
rhire is better suited for
the market demand for fat liage than
it is for producing bacon Sega. Where
backs, Shoulders .and hams are the
main requirements the Berkslareefits
in exceptionally well, but for the ex-
port bacon trade in Wiltshire sides it
has scarcely enough length of side
and has too heavy a neck anal shoul-
ders. ,
The fat type of Berkshire is utterly
unfitted for the Dominion bacon
trade, whieloalepeeds so largely for
its outlet in :Great Britain- This warn-
ing about eimesieg the proper type
within the Beaks/arse breed is pro,bab-
IY Moot' ap,plicable to the Canadian
West where the -breed has attained
popularity bee/brae it does not "scald"
under prairie heat. Even within this
sub -division of the breed producers
should pay strict attention to get-
ting the right conformation. It is the
amnion experience of buyers to -day
that, as Professor Day has stated it in
general, th-ere is "scarcely enough

We once lied an earth floor, peoltry
house that was a little too tow and
inclined to he damp. 'There was no
tinte to raise the level by hauling send
so we covered the nem with loese
corn fodder to a depth of about six
inches. Over the fodder we placed
straw. The toegh fodder formed a
good foundation for the lighter straw
litter. During the winter fresh straw
was oecesimeelly added as the old lit-
ter became peeked down. The hens in
the }muse were thrifty mid laid very
well. Ibis io not as .good as a cement
or board boor, but worked .out ell 'right
on an eaeth floor where este unusual
depth of litter was needed to befld
it up:
• Straw is the beet litter we have ever
used. About six inches •ean be plated
on 'the flew in the fall. The hens
gradually break it up and peck it
down. A litter that is not 'replenished
becomes almost as hard as a flour and
thee scratch grain is not hidden. The
purpose ,of litter ie to -make 'birds ex-
ereto hp scratching. So new litter
znust be placed on the old to fueniSh
that loose top layer that easily hides
the grain. When litter beetmes damp
and tough it must be ren' e red.
The broken hay from a Aver hul-
ler sometimes can be used for scratch-
ing litter. Dry leaves are useful in
small poultry houses if an abutidance
of leaves can be obtained near at hand.
The leaves break up very easily and
are not as good as wheat or oat straw.
Shredded corn fodder is also used
for litter. It absorbs moisture and
does not break up easily, thus lasting
a long time. On poultry farms Where
only corn is raised,, the uee of sbredeled
fodder saves the purchase of straw.
If straw must be purchased for the
poultry flocks and storage room is
limited, it pays to buy baled- straw.
This saves time in replenishing the
straw litter in the laying houses. In
some sectiene poor •grades of hay can
be used for poultry litter. We find that
the important point is to have a mix-
ture that is dry and clean and hides
the ,grain. The material produced at
home is often the 'cheapest and in
place of straw tbe other materials
will give fair satisfaction.

The Division of Illustration Stations
is a branch of the Dominion ExPeri-
mental Farms System. The object of
this Division is to tarry results and
inforanatron gained on th-e Experi-
mental Farms direct to the termer.
These Stations were started in the
year 1914, at twenty-two different
point, in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
By 1921 eighty-eiglit Stations were in
opeatatiOn, including those 1oate4jn
She Previnces oe Quebe,c, Nova Scotia,
and New Brune -wick.
. The- farm•s on which the Illustration
Stations are loaatert are ownedby the
private Deemer, thereby causing a
neon interest to -be taken by the
neighbors, which naturally develops
into considexable rivalry.
The general *allelic kie co-operationi
between the Department and the
farmer is ae follows: e

Britain for nearly 2,300 years,.

The example giv-en by the Illustra-

Part of the field is sown with about
the same amount of seed as is 'usually
sown in the district, and the other
part is seeded with a heavy mixture,

ment of Agriculture shows thet since
the adoption in ten of the poticy of
distributing pare -bred bulls in newly
settled districts and backward seotions
of the different provinc,e,s, in all 3,408
bulls have been so distributed, an
average of 378.6 for each of the nine
years. Of the total, Alberta has re-
ceived 755, Saskatchewan 762, Mani-
toba 333, Quebec 928, Ontario 277, the
Maritime Provinces 201, and Britian
Columbia 162. What is known as the

In western Canada the policy includes
stocker and feeder cattle as well. The
poti•cy came in force regarding the
western stock yards in 1916, and as
regards the eastern yards in 1918. Al-
together'in the four years and three
months ineolvea, the expenees have
been met of the shipment of 74,744

Creating a Musical Atmosphere in the Ho
BY MARION DALLAS
Ali throngh the country, in villages
and towns, there are young girls and
women intproving their spare time by
the study a music. Many of these
have a teacher eome once or perhems
twice a week to ,guide and inspire
them in their work, but sometimes,
owing to bad weather, woe roads, Or
other reasons''weeks elapse between
the visits oe the teacher. To add in
such tinie,s as these, and to help and
enthese the girls who axe rrobly strug-
glin•g alone, without the minuet and
advice of any teacher, bat purely for
their love of music; this article is
written.
The study of music sitoulei be under-
taken, with an intelligent comerehem
sion oe its beauty and wealth of
meledy. It should never be stedied in
the listles,s fashion', adopted by so
many youeg people. By that, I mean
the careless playing ea airs, with
variations, the murdering of beantifel
sonatas, and the etruniming 01 cake
walks, and popular songs. The object
of all study of music is to give p•lea-
sure, not only to oaten -yes, bet to
others.
It must be from tbe heart. Eveey
player must study thoughtfully. and
with an earnestness, which convinces
the listener. Even the simplest tunes
can be rend•ered to give pleasure but
only as the player throws her sou; into
her mega will she influence her
au dience.
Harmouy a Help.
To thoroughly enjoy the amerce of
music, I would recommend the etutlent
to mester, first, Cumming's Book 011
"Rain -10115S," and then to turn to
Stainer's "Harmony." A study of
harmony, alibi:nigh it may seem un-
interesting at first, gives an insiglit
into music which can he derived in
no other way. It is a great help in
mernory work. 11 18 not an easy study
alone, but many of the teachers and
praessors in our colleges of music
will, for a very noinin•al fee, comet
exercises (by mail) anti -give a gnat
deal of help in that way.
Study Musical History. •
The study of mes•i•cal -history giver,
a glimpse into the inner life of the
great musicians, and enables one to
intenpret sumo of their theeghts and
ideas. Following this, the history of
musk will teach the etuslent to ap-
preciate meek ass a great art, and
espeeially ta this needed in home
study. It opens ilp a new world, and
might Magna the young to make seine
musical histhey for Canada them-
selsree, for wo know mar intesieal and
national history i,s -only in its infancy.

and play them as carefully as if you
had a large audience. Seize every
chance to play before aoi atidience.

result ef eervousnese and lack of
memory training. The only ouzo of
nervousness is constant appearance in
public, An excellent Way for a piano
playex to gain eonfidenee is by duet
playiug and envying meompanintents.

but unless you do your part well the
perfonmence will be a failure.
