LOOKING AFTER YOUNG CHICKS
Plenty of Shade and Good Wholesome
Food Give Best Results
Green food Is absolutely ensential
during the growing period. It can be
most economically supplied by grows.
ing it directly upon the range. Where
the chicks are crowded on small areas,
considerable expense must be incur-
red in supplying it from an outside
source in the form of cabbage, grass -
clippings or sprouted grains, says Har-
ry Lewis of New Jersey College of
f A
Suburban Life. in b
Agriculture,
range which can be kept seeded to,
a permanent sod is the best, but, where
the birds are kept in such numbers
as to destroy the grass, it will be
found desirable to divide the area into
two plots, and rotate them by alternat-
ing the areas asd raising quick -grow -
leg, succulent crops, such as peas and
oats, rape, buckwheat, millet, and,
during the winter, as a catch or cover'
crop, rye, wheat, vetch and crimson
clover, singly or in combination. The
birds can then eat the succulence
directly off the root, and the plowing
and seeding purify the runs and utilize
the manure to grow the crop. Ari
abundance of shade, is necessary for,
a normal, healthy development.
Natural shade is the most desirable;
where it cannot be secured, artiflcla'
shelters must be constructed. Mile
tin frames, set at an angle to pre
vent birds roosting on thein, are
efficient.. A rough shelter of bushes
or boughs, elevated front the ground
about two feet, by laying on crotched
sticks, will answer very well. The
most desirable shade is that given by
a growing plant. It is much cooler,
due to the large amount of moisture
given off, An ideal practice is to
plant the range in fruit trees—peaches,
plums or apples being desirable.
When trees are not present, or while
thy are making a sufficient growth,
it will be found profitable to plant
such crops as corn, sunflowers and
soja beans between the rows.
The summer colony or developing
houses should provide three features
—namely, fresh air, sufficient size, and
must be easily moved, or portable.
They should be portable to facilitate
moving them from place to place rur-
ing succeeding seagoiiis as the range
is changed, or, as is often the case,
it is desired to use them for small
laying flocks during the winter. The
design should provide an abundance
of fresh air, without causing drafts
to blow across, the roosting -plate at
night. Crowded, stuffy sleeping .quar-
ters will weaken the vitality of a lot
of youngsters quicker than any other
one cause. If the house can be con-
structed to furnish considerable shade,
that is another' advantage. It is a
mistake to build small, tucked -up
colony houses, as for example 2x4.
feet; which are often seen on small
plants. Such houses are hard to yen•
elate properly,, and the tendency Is
to crowd too many. chinks into one
flock with disastrous results. The de-
sirable colony unit is about fifty
chicks, the exact capacity depending
upon floor space and method of ven-
tilation.

STRAW1BERRY FINALLY CURED
Mrs. Wesley Pringle, Roblin, Ont„
writes:—"It is with great pleasure that
I can recommend Dr. Fowler's Extract
of Wild Strawberry. When our little
boy was three years old, he had the
worst. attack of diarrhoea and vomiting
Y ear saw. We called in our doctor,' and
he came eleven times , from Tuesday
morning until Saturday night, but still
no change. , We expected each moment
to be the last of his suffering, as the
doctor said he could do nothing more.
Mr. Pringle was going up town on Satur-
day night, and was advised to try your.
great and wonderful medicine. He got
a bottle and about 9 o'clock the first
dose was given, and was kept up, ap
directed, and when the doctor came on
Sunday, he said, 'What a wonderful
change; whyl your little boy is going
to get better.' 'xhen I told him what
we had been giving him, and he said,
'Keep right on, be is doing well.' 'I
often think as I look at my boy, growing
to be a man, what great thanks I owe
to Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Straw-
berry."
"Dr. Fowler's" has been on the market
for close on to seventy years, and has
been known from one end of Canada
to the other as a certain cure ;'for ,all
bowel complaints.

WATCH THE DATE,
11 Your Seed Packets Are Not 1914
Somebody Is Breaking the Law.
Those gorgeously chromatic cata-
logues that have adorned every home
for a couple of months, those enticing•
little seed packets obtrusively die
played is hundreds of stores, are a
reminder that the Seed Branch of the '
Federal Department of. Agriculture
has been having about the busiest
time of its existence. The important
mission upon which George H. Clark,
Dominion Seed Commissioner, and
his scientifically trained staff are en-
gaged is familiar, if known at all, to
but comparatively few.
The field root, garden vegetable,
and flower seeds sown in Canada are
mostly imported' from Europe; some
enter from the United States, but
only a, very few are Canadian -raised.
Women and children figure largely
in agricultural production across the
ocean, so it does not pay this country
to compete. Before distributing their
trays of packet seedo to the small
dealers, also before selling bulk
quantities to large dealers and grow-
ers, our reputable seed firms submit
doubtful samples to this Seed •De-
partment at Ottawa, and act iipon the
result of the official reports. Others
do not, and in Ontario, during 1912,
out of 1,439 sthall dealers visited,
there were found 197 violations of
the Seed Control Act, with subse-
quent convictions of six dishonest of-
fenders. There were 37 convictions
for 330 violations among the 1,627
dealers visited in 1913; and now that
there is no possible plea on the score
of ignorance of the stringent laws on
the point, each futureyear will Ind
the Seed Branch exacting much
stricter adherence to the regulations
governing pure seed. Until the pres-
ent, Commissioner Clark's work has
been largely educative, but willful
dishonesty is now to be curbed as
effectively as possible by legal pres-
sure wherever discovered.
Very steadily the thoroughness of
inspection has been increased; last
spring 26 temporary assistaAt9 to
the eight distriet officers scattered
throughout the Dominion being enla
ployed; this` Tte thole ar more.
Some of the wholesalers Send out
their packet seeds on a commission
basis, and collect all unsold at the
end of the season. But others are
sold outright, and if not disposed of
the same season they are often kept
in stock by the retailer until' their
vitality has deteriorated. An mend.
mem to the Seed Control'Ace in 1911',
requiring all packet seeds to be
stamped, showing the year in which
they were filled, has proved a good
safeguard.
When buyingingy
your seeds,
see that they bear the imprint of a
firm of established reputation; look
specially for the date, and then you
willbe tolerably sure—if your let-
tuce does not conte up"—that His

There was a large decrease 'In
building operations throughout Can-
ada in 1913 as compared with 1912,
according to figures obtained by the
Labor Department from its corre-
spondents in 100 localities.
In 1913 the amount of new build-
ings was 3178,069,838, a decrease of
$45,666,539. All the provinces, with
the exception of Prince Edward Is-
land, New Brunswick and Quebec,
show a decrease. In three provinces
there were gains of 3190,400, 31,-
