There is every indication that there will be a great consumption of poultry in Canada this year. The demand for every class shows a.striking increase during the last few years. Mr. F. C. Hare, Chief .of the Dominion Poultry Division, does not believe it possible for the farmers to rear, for at least five years to come, more utility -type chickens than can he sold wilh pro- fit on the Canadian markets alone. Moreover, commission merchants in. Great Britian can handle profit- ably at least $1,000,000 worth of our poultry yearly. Last year the ex- port of chickens to Great Britian was materially reduced on account of the great demand. in Canada. The poultry exports from Canada to Great Britian were only $160,515, a small proportion of $5,154,002 im- ported by the Mother Country. The greatest value of poultry was exported. from Russia, Belgium, France and the United. States. Each of these countries shipped over :11,000,000 worth. It is a short- sighted policy on the part of our farmers to neglect this industry, when there is an unsatisfied de- mand for poultry ; information with regard to any branch of the busi- ness can be had gratis, and. the business is a profitable one. It will pay almost every farmer to improve his flock before the breeding season begins. The old fowls should be killed.. There is a greatly increased profit in breeding from utility -type specimens rather than from eon -anon barnyard. stock. It is preferable to select the eggs for hatching from a breeding pen of the best ten or twelve hens and one cockerel rather than from the larger number of laying hens on the farm. As a general rule, the aggs that are incubated on the farm are the eggs from 111e poorer layer:4. A utility -typo Plymonth Rook cockerel should be bought and plac- ed at the heao of the breeding pen. A great improvement will be notic- ed in any flock of farm fowls by Gravenhurst, saying that a mother, v:it cr th the Plymouth Rocks. I two o daughters, both of whom were BS. be a shelter during inclement weather. A packing box of three or four feet, each dimension, is none to largo. The cover of the box can be used for the floor. The box is reversed (open end on the ground) and an opening one foot high is made across one side of the box against the open end. Two one inch by two incl. cleats are nailed on the two ends of the box at the gground ; the cover or floor is reduced in size so that it win slide in on these cleats. This allows the floor to be removed. for cleaning. The box should be covered with tar paper to make it 'coater -tight and there should be a ten by 14 inch pane of glass in the front. This glass should slide in cleats for ventilation. In front of the one foot opening at the ground there should be a crate 15 inches high covered with laths,two inches apart The hen comes out into the lath crate to be fed and watered; the chickens run through • the laths. This form of coop will house safely one hen and 30 chickens. The number of coops is thus redncecl. The hen and. chickens should be placed in a grass field. This will reduce the mortality due to the chickens being reared on infected ground around the farm buildings. .A. ntunber of cases have been reported to the Poultry Division of chickens and turkeys dying because of feeding on ground. previously infested by diseased fowls.

The chickene should not be hatched later than the middle of June. May hatched. chickens are preferable. It is quite possible for almost any farmer to increase the number of chickens roared with little extra labor. Sitting hens should not be allow - cd to hatch chickens in any place they choose about the farm build- ings. They should bo in one pen set apart for this purpose. The nest boxes should. be mule without a floor and platted around the ;:ides of the pen. Two or three Shovel- fuls of earth should be thrown into each nest box and a hollow space scooped out or the eggs ; the earth should be covered sparingly with straw. A board is required. in front of the nest to confine the hen at will. This nest will give out- door conditions in an indoor pen. The sitting hens .should be thor- oughly dusted with sulphur to kill the vermin, All of them should be fed on whole grain and grit, and watered at the one time. The hens • should be placed on the nests ' and themselves at the doors of the 1• ren �c s pital, bopiag to be at once admitted. One daughter has the trouble only in a slight degree, anti from a medical point of view is admissible, as soon. as room can be made. The other has the disease in a more acute condition_, and will need to take immediate rest until it becomes sonlmho tquiescent. TThe. family are poor, their railway fares having been paid by a friend. Thu mother has been given em• ployrtlent oi^ the domestic Waif of tiro Hospital, and the daughters will board in town until there are vacant sleds in the hospital to admit them. They camp all this dist,gnce poverty stricken, but in the belief that somehow the' would manage to get admission to tin. institution. Want of money is the only thing, the Trustees tell us, that ,is preventing the increase of accommodation beyond the ,eighty patients already provided for. Up to the present no one has been refused admission on account of his or hor poverty, but we aro told tintthe want of funds is preveniiing the Trustees from providing the increased accommodation needed.
