On a garden Oit'cli 15x40 feet I have
sire of eggs and hens, but it is 'beat used with astonishing resultS„ fella
Tint to have the nest too qror,vctect a
hatching tinie.
Incubators are sometimes suecess-
fully used in hatching turkey eggs but
they require different method's of
handling from chicken's eggs.
As a rule, the turkey hen will take
proper care of herself while setting
but occasionally there is one, especial-
ly among the pullets, that will take
the matter too seriously, not being
willing to leave the nest for food and
exercise. These should be taken off
and shut out from the nest twice, a
week and for ,at least twenty minutes
each time. They will eat quantities
of grass., dandelions, etc., but do not
seem to require mach mod. Give soft
food or sm.all grain (r;,--erc cern) and
see that they have at..:ess, to freali
water.
Colony houses are so useful that
they: are worthy of a trial ors more
e I find an eight -by -ten house
to be idea:Lear a sterve brooder which
protects 'from two to thre hundred
chicks. The houses I have used have
been ten feet wide -and eight feet deep
but' the new ones will be eight feet
Wide andten feet deep. , This addition-
al depth makes it possiele to fut the
brooder quite a distance beek from
theewinclow. When colony houses of
that depth are used for roosting quae-
ters dering the summer, it' is best to
have an oPening in the back for ven-
tilation.
'When colony houses- are used for
breeding there is much less fire risk
than when the brooders are placed iTt
leager build-ings. • Colony houses can
IDe moved if new soil is needed for the
gro-wing stock. They an *be plated
near the -farm 'home early in the spring
when" the brooders need attention.
Later they can be hauled into the
fields or orchards where -the groWing
poultry will have fine range eaciditions.

Colonyhouses, are easy to move

be made of eight -by -two planks. Nail
to planks together and bevel the
edges. That makea 'good ',skid for
one side of the house. Then make the
other and use the two skids connected

Fitting 'Poultry for Sale.
No poultry intended for the table
should be Marketed -without being
'fleshed. The easiest way to do this is
by crate feeding. Cockerels' -espeolally
&being berate ed before Marketing.
Pullets and hens are ,ailso improved
for eatiegbethe same pracess. Two:
weeks crating will do for them but
another week. or laeo IDf sech dieting
will benefit cockerels. Before putting
the birds itt the crate, dryesulpher or
some kind of liee powder sheuld be
thoraighly sifted into the feathers,
and repeated once or -twice during the
feeding, to prevent or teazel lice. The

Blida of the general purpose breeds

generally answers this requirement.
Scanty feeding is advisable at first
Cleanliness is a necessity, so too is
milk, and all feed should be ground,
no whole grain being given. The ap-
petite of the lairds should be consider-
ed. Fine ground oats, corn and buck-
wheat are all ,good. Shorts and'rnide
dling-e are all right as a small part
of the nation. Bran is too laxative.
Beef tallow is sometimes fed during

virtue is, doubtful; Cooked foods as a
Yule -should not be fed. .
Variations of Live Stock
- Market.
The Live Stock Branch at Ottawa
advises of an unusual' rush of calves
to the markets in Canadaea:s detailed
ire the weekly reports. The unavoid-
able result has been a decline in prides.
The Toronto market report for Ma.1.-•cli
,9 notes a dollar drop on the first day
of. the week, and the Montreal report
in recording heavy offerings says, "It
is yet early- in the calf season, and if
drovers and farmers persist in market-
ing quantities of common, unfinished
veal, prices are likely to sink to a
very low level." Montreal is a veal -
eating city but'a better quality is de-
manded. From January 1 to Alarrh
2 there was received at Toronto 8,623
calves against 5,443 in the sa'nce period
last year and at MontcceaI 6,627
against 5,475. Last year the prices on
March 9 were in Toronto $16 and in
Mont -real $13. 'This year on the same
date they weee $14 ancl.$9 respective-
ly. It is worthy to note that hogs, are
invariably higher in Montreal than
in . Toronto,. , ;the difference usually
ranging from 5o.6 td''$11§. Cattle.;
elves and sheep all' range higher in
T-orentd. On March 9 tattle at To-
ronto were quoted at $9 and at Mont-
real at $8. Sheep were at $14.50 and
$11 respectively. Cattle Were down
