FOr breeding perposee, two-yeatr-old hens have been ,found best, althoegh sarong chicks have been produced from well-developed yearlings. Pullets ranging from shk" to nine months old are more or less a riek. While their eggs may hatch well, there is not the vitatity in the young that is found in those from tvardy, vigorous two -ear - old hens. Lis hes been demonstrated by a series a trials, and is a strong „testimonial to the policy of keeping a hen, regardless of her age, as long as she is heady, vigorous and yields a profit., Tests in mating show that • for strtong, livable chicks, the best mat- ings are• these of six vigorous females and an active xnate. When hmas are used, the male should be a. cockerel; if matured pullets, use a cock. Where male birds aro aliternated in a pen, tests show that ten females is about the proper number. Good fertility has beeri obtairied in larger matings, and without alternating the males, but the: ehielos were not in asgood condition. For years it has been OUT practice to make all 'nests of tobacco stems in preferenee to straw or any sitter ma- teria]) and es a result -there has been practically no trouble with vermin either on hens or chicks. Tobacco stems are used in both the laying and incaftting nesta. eke tobacco stems are not always available, tests were made by using hay as a. substitute,. and thickly sprinkling a good insect - powder on it. When hens were set the, nests thus made were treated the sale, before the eggs were put In. In these tests zenoleum, a egal-tar product, was used on account of its sixertgth. The retult was practically the seirie as with tobacco' stems. With the aid of trapnests the nature of the different hem has been noted daring the past year. The observa- tions move that Nature never exactly duplicates anrything. There are no two hens that are. exaetly alike in all respects, although some •come very close to St But this is more, exempli- fied by the nature of the hens them- selves. Some of the hens, quit laying as they began, molthig. While others coritinueclaying,•triore or less, dm -hag the nicQkirigt period, and kept in excel- lent health and viger. While shedding the feathers some of the hens ,baci a ragged and dejected appearance; others in the same flock molted so gradually that the &lenge was hardly noticed, and kept in the best of health d.ueing the entire peried. Some hens were reatly savage When broody, while others were exceedingly good-natured. Some would sit carefully and alwaya had a clean -looking nest, while others Weie sere to break some of the eggs and befoul the rest. Some hens were natustelly tame, while others in the -pane flock are wild and nervous. The trapnest has proved that the nest -egg theory is all wrong. Nest eggs have no •influenee whatever in coaxing a hen to lay. In our trapnests there is nothing but tebacco stems, and yet right in these nests the pullets start to lay and keep it up hi fine shape during the year. Occasionally a hen will frequent the nest, but not lay. I noticed one hen get in the trap - nest and remain there for an hour or snore almost evety day, and yet she did not lay. The hen was killed and anteing opened up was found to have considerable fat accumulated around the egg organs, As a rule, every sim- • • OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN Osteopathy, Electricity.

The Most Effective Fertilizer. tet. 73 st.clelaldo St. West Toronto ilar hen was found la) be unfilatlaalY •Tests made the past season in alters stating male birds for fertility, re- ettlted as follows: From, January 1 to May 1, four males were ,assigned to three pens. That is, cock No. 1 started in pen No. 1; coek No. 2 in pen No. 2; eook No. 3 in pen Nee 3, and cock No, 4 was placed in a cage in another building, The next week cock No. 1 was put hi a cage, melt No. 2 was ad- vanced to pen No. 1, -cock No. 3 went to pen No. 2, and the vock that origin- ally was in a cage was placed in pen No. 3, arid so on ea& week. After the first of May only three males were allow -ed for every three pens, but each week they were •moved to different pens, For instance; cock No, 1 went to pen No. 3, cook No. 2 went to pen No. 1, and cock No. 3 to pen No. 2. These changes avoided favoritism and there was better fertility. After testing various methods for breaking up broodiness, the following was found to he the most humane and sati.srfactory: Once a week all broodies found on the tests at night were car- ried to a house and run, in whach there were no nests nor any- other fowls. Here they were kept for a week, by which time they got over their broodi- nees and went to laying again. Once in a great while there would be a stub- born hen and she would have to re- main in this pen for another week, but sueh caees were rare. • 'rests made to find out what effect different kinds of feed would have on the color of the yolk of eggs- allow quite conclusively that in the major- ity of cases the color is influenced by the quality of the food given, but that there are individual hens that will con- tinue to produce either white or yellow yolked eggs xiega,rdless of the feed. Pale yolks predominate when hens are fed on milk, wheat, oats, bran aucl middlings, and 'yellow yolks when the stock is liberally fed on yellow COTIL. It was noticed that eggs with pale •yolks were morelikely to have less consistency than those with yellew yolks. That is, the pale yolksflattened out when the eggs were broken and the whites of the same eggs %steeled to be thinner. Yellow yolks usually stand up round and. full when She egg is .broken: • , Burriblefoot (swellings onethe fefst of fowls) is, generally due to treading en sharp objects, rough ground, ete. It is not contagious, ami for years it has been advocated that the pus in the bruise should be removed. This is quite a task and not always success- ful. 1)ar2ng the past year a number of cases developed. Believing that the matter wJi1 right itself wdthoet treat - met, nothing was done, but a careful watch wan made af the condition. After the swelling reached a certain stage it began to day up and kept on growing smaller until all the troable vanished. „Further observations will be made should any new eases develop. A method of feeding has been tried out which proved very satisfactory. Instead of feeding maeh in the morn- ing' (allowing an iron spoonful to every two fowls in the pen), nothing at noon, and a full feed (a handful to each fowl) at night, the order was changed as follows: In the morning, grain (scratch feed) was thrown am- • ong straw—a handful for every five fowls in the pen; at noon theernash was given, allowing an iron spoonful for every thtee fowls in pen; and in the evening, an hour before dusk, a handful of min is given to each fowl in the pen.

The very fineness of these soils .gives them a large water -holding capacity, which:will adapt them to the production of small grain and graiies. The rnanagemeat of these soils pre- sents special problems for considera- tion. Their fineness gives thein a ten- dency to bake and to require mom than the usual ainount of 'labor in cultivation. The lack of sufficient sur- face or underdrainage makes them eoid and Wet in thespring, ancr when there is a leek of vegetable ojr Organic, matter, they are hardto work and less productive. ' • The methods treatraent here die- onslect are based: on the results Of field demonstrations ami obsayettions made on, the 'Dominion Illustration Stations Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. One of the great drawbacks with this 'type of soil is the fineness of the- soil partioles. To effect this condition, the farm practiee ,should be so arranged that the -operatkeis will sYste'anatioally open up and make these soils mere porous. Special at- tention must be given to the time and type of plowing and cultivation. Heavy clay soils should be fall plowed when tlientoieture content is right. If work- ed where wet, they are apt to puddle and bake. While it is necessary to Flew these eel* deeply, 'the depth shouldbe lowered gradually. The early working el these soRs, in. the spring, is most imperfect. This ,culti- Vation should commence as soon as the proper moisture ecmdition is reach- ed but never when the 'soil is at all sticky.
