iCHICI%GN •FARAiING;
The chickenfarming indus-
try is receiving a great impetus in
town among a number of ,breeders.
Messrs. Snell & Jonen last week ad-
ded a fine ,flock of White Weandot-
tes to their already large • flock. These
were purchased from Rev. R. Hicks,
of Sensall. This firm now has near
ly five hundred hens on the old: Davis
property on John street recently' emir -
chased by Mr. Snell. On the corner
of the lot is the (main"( building used
as office and storeroom and where two
incubators are being usedat present.
At the back of this ,is a large hen
house built after the pattern of the
houses at the Model Farm, capable/ of
housing one hundred and `fifes ,hens,
Three such houses extend in a row
and a larger house brings up Elie rear;
At present the property is beingfen-
end off into several runs running
north and south and will separate the
hens in the different buildings. A.
)number of PIf%lo coops are .also being
used. Quite a number of chickens
were kept during the, winter but ow -
'inn ' to some slight defects in the ven-
tilation. the 'results have not been as
satisfactory as they might have been,
but these defects will be .easily' over-
come. The flock will be increased un
1til it is several times elargeri than 1i.t
isat present.
1 Mr. James. Grieve as also making
satisfactory progress with his hennery
He has fenced off a coupleof acres
and his buildings are in good shape,
Mr. Grieve is speoiaiizx'ag andis going
in .for well bred stock. lie has/ pur-
chased in the neighborhood of five
hundred baby chicks and some or. his

dollars a setting. 31e bas had spleno

ing a faithful pastorate of the ,coun-

ors where honors are due, is idealiz-
ing rural life ,and taking .a long step
toward the solution of what is term-
