Those who have changed to the modern, all -Canadian fuel
--Hamco Coke—are finding each day a new comfort, more
even heat in every room, and less back -breaking labour.
And, best of all, when they check their bills at the end of
the first month (or at the end of the season) they will find
that their expenditures for fuel have been materially reduced.
Try Hamco Coke now! Notice how clean it is, how light on the shovel,
and how quickly it responds to the drafts on cold mornings. Notice, too,
how few ashes are left to carry out each week.

,The Farm Flock
It is generally recognized through-
out the poultry industry that one of
the most rapid and effective means of
improving farm poultry flock: is
through the application of the Dom-
inion ;1-Iatcheri' Regulations. These
regulations. with the co-operation of
the provinces, are accomplishing good
results. To lay the 'foundation of pro-
fitable farm 'Brock, it is necessary to
,tart with good healthy stock. To en-
able the .farmer to obtain this kind of
stock. regulations for the control of
hatcheries were drawn up, with the
co-operation of several of the provin-
ces and at their request.
Briefly, these hatchery regulations
provide for the following -00 all
commercial hatcheries of over 11,000
egg capacity 'to obtain their hatching
eggs from approved flocks and to op-
erate under Dominion supervision as
regards hatchery conduct, operation,
and advertising; and (2) approval of
flocks as sources of hatchery eggs to
be under provincial supervision,
The farm flock may be started by
(1) the purchase of hatching eggs;
t2) of clay -old chicks; '63) of pullets
ready to lay; an ,(14) of adult breed-
ing stack. Whatever method is adopt-
ed, one thing is certain—a great deal
of annoyance and doss may be obviat-
ed by purchasing from 'R,'OIP. (;Re-
oord of tPerfo•rnence) or approved
flocks.
