I like to see uniform quality and in a sufficiently large quantity as to impress the market. We must have them finished in pro- per shape for that is the only way that is profitable, The hatching should be done the latter part of March, in April or the earlp part of May, otherwise dived poultry will be placed on the market. There is an ever growing demand for high class milk --fed broilers. A bird is not fit for the market un- til the muscles are killed and this is only done when the bird is crate fed,.. The "drum stick" of the barn yard fowl is full of muscle and thus is al- most uneatable. If crated the muscle would have died out. Wer milk feed to give flavor and color. Keep your milk supply uniform and give grit once a week. Don't hatch late chickens. -Imre them all come out together, The one year old Igen is the most profitable for laying, the two year old for breeding, The best revenue producers on the farm are the Non .Fertile. Egg, the Broiler and the Capon, IIow many of you have 100 1„us or over ? (The number which responded sur- prised Mr. Brown and Prof, Elford as Well who remarked : '-This is the best record in Canada for such a meeting as this,") ' PROP. ELFORA. Prof. Elford : To get the best .re- sults .you must take extra trouble. Dont breed from your whole flock indiscriminately and dont hatch later than. •tile first week in June, MR. E. W. TREWARTHA. i,ir. N. W 7.rcwahaha : In the poul- try industry we must keep ,abreast of the tines. We must caponiie. A capon gains 2 to 1: pounds in weight. Capons can be marketed at an av- erage of ten pounds. If we raise the stun the market is calling for there is certainly a bright future for the poultry business. GOD' SAVE TTIli) KING.
