Method of Feeding.

Coate-, Nebreeslia, recatutriend the fa-
leiatiag hires that from experieuce have
proceed their value :
• Let Your Incubator Alma at Heti:king
Titne.
'The best eousideration you can
show your chickens is to let than
alow at,th.; tiniu of liateh.
Otte itioicrtant \thine is not to turn
the eggs after the eighteenth day, tea ,
flout -lately the temperature will jump
up two or even three degrees, bre
developed in the chicks. The very. best
don't be alarmed at that, for et is a.
natural cat (se, due to the. anima heat
advice we can give you is not •to inter-
fere With the tnctibator end pct try
to aid the chick front the eltell. Let
him urelerstend right frotn the first
he must take cure of hi:itself, as we
will not hire a arse for his special
benefit.
Brooding Chicks Successfully
All the little chicks need for the
first forty •eight hours aTter hatching
is to be kept comfortable mid quiet.
Get the brooder thorotughly warmed lip.
and runaing a (ley or so •bOare yon
place the dicks in. The temperature
should; be from ainety to tardy -five
degrees the first week then reeneed
degrees a week until seventy degreeS is
reached. Of course yon.must tate -into
consideration the season of tht year
and ceadition of the weather. • .
You canna make a no•stelee in tem-
perature if you watch the chicks,- They
will guide yoi: in that line.; if they
are just warm enough they will lie
around on the floor of the• brooder per-
fectly centented, but if cold they will
crowd closely together to get . warm,
and those in the middle. -will get . hot
ad sweaty then when you tura" ihern
out in the mot Mng they aatch
whieh causes trouble. Young ehicks
must never, eader any eirculastanees,
be Illfteed OH a umooth surface a •any
kind, for this causes sprawling raid'
crikples. To prevent ties, place in the
broader a rough, soft 'cloth ol • •sottin
kind. It is .a 'goodidea to use a jute
sack urtil the chicks are fur,pr. five
weeks old, then .you can use dry eand
or earth. . •

It is with extreme regret that we
are obliged .to announce the failure of
the Wiarton Beet Sugar Co. It is no
secret that freen the first its efforts
were handicapped by absence or the
capita needed for the successful oper-
ation of so great an undertaking. In-
deed it was only by a loyal derotim
ard self:sacrificeon the part of many
of our 'townsmen for what they regard-
ed as esseutial to the Well [being of our
common:ty„. that meanshave been ob-
teined.to avert, an earlier collapse. It
is scarcely too much to say as to some
of those' who thing, themselves into the
breach and Inede a desperate eficert to
save tlie iralustry for Wiarton, that
their emultet was heroic-. That their
efforts were unaviling and that by
reason of them they have lost lunch.
-money they weld ill affordto loser
must be a source of deep regret to ev-
ery. one.. We can Daly /mite that the
Nture may recotekense them.
Bet it would be most 'unfortunate if
the failure of tie Wiartort company
were regarded as any evidence that
the heet -sugar lielitstry canhot succeed
in Ontario. It; is true that 'our camp-
aign of .1902 resulted in a lesS of $63,-
278.7e. ilhil it is also true that • the
sager e:stracted was not quite half as
lunch itS could be extracted 044 wood

and loyal superintendeat, and that the

Puttin the sugar emit at the seme
price, it is evident that if the . cont.
Inlay had, received the return from
their beets that a gord factory and a'
Igood 'superintendent would have pro-

to us to be a record; which however un-

* 'glide ere three principal. causes of
failitre in alfalfa' greying. The first
and most prevalent ow is lack of pro,
per • bacteria to the soil, This can
easily be remedied .by securing soil
from field where alfalfa grows lux-
uriantly and where it has grown.' for
years. 'the. older the .field the better,
This *en acts eXactly as yeast • does.
When the conditions are made right,
the bacteria epreads rapidly and soon
tle whole .field is impregnated and
the drop 'tvill grow. Such soil may
be spread on fields where alfalfais
already feeble and if this is the :dif-
ficalty the resrlt will be beneficial."
"If properly inoculated and drained,
the strong clay soils are the best. If
the ion is in the least itch', alt applica-
tion of twenty hushels of lime per acre
IS absolutely necessary."
"the third difficulty is lack Of drain-
age. Alfalfa likes plenty of watecOntt
there utast not be so much in the soil
that air cannot get to the. roots. If
the. soil is water soaket!, for any length
tbne, the erop win not thrive,"
