Record books have been established for horses, cattle, and many other animals, where information pertain- ing to pedigree, age, etc., are kept for reference, but it has remained., to Victor Fortier, Assistant Dominion Poultry Husbandman, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, after much personal observation and study, to publish a method whereby the age of hens can be accurately estimated. This information which is meant especially for the breeder and the judge,' has been published under the direction of the Hon. Martin Burrell, in a profusely illustrated bulletin, which is No. 18 Second Series of the Central Experimental Farm. Copies will be mailed to those who apply for them to the Publicarione Branch, De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. Cheese Factory and Creamery Plans. The Dairy and Cold Storage Com- missioner has, for many years, furn /shed plane and specifications for cheese factory and creamery buildings. Accordingly, a large number of factor- ies in different parts of the country, that have been built according to these plane, are now in successful operation. The plans and specifications provided were prepared to meet varying needs and conditions, With the passing of time, not only have a great many plans been prepared, but improve- ments have been introduced in accor- dance with the progress in the indus- try. In order to meet the demand for cor- ect information on this subject, there has been issued in Bulletin 41 of the Dairy and Cold Storage series, a full treatment of the subject, in which sev- en even different plans are dealt with. In these, various capacities, methods of construction, building materials, etc., have been taken up. This publication, which was prepared by Geo. H. Bair and J. G. Bouchard. embraces eighty- two pages and'contains many sketches, Anticipating a considerable demand for this bulletin a large number of, cop- ies have been printed.

There bete been a great develops+nt of late years in the Canadian poalit I•nduetry. This development has best/ brought about by many factors, shier among which are the untivirtg arfd highly sueeessful efgorts of breeders; the experimental work carried on at the various poultry plants of the Do•, *inion and Provincial Experiments% Farms and Agricultural Colleges, the information given out by these in- stitutions, the poultry exhibits, in which the people of Canada are now taking a great interest, and, last but lest leest, the profits, of the industJ-, 'at€Ie thought of it in the past, nut ',ow weli recognized and appreciated, )'11 do.;.''' i.t+ itle leahlttg 411 all ':•3L- '11.411tC '_f t.

Record books have been established for horses, cattle, and many other animals, where information pertain- ing to pedigree, age, etc., are kept for reference, but it has remained., to Victor Fortier, Assistant Dominion Poultry Husbandman, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, after much personal observation and study, to publish a method whereby the age of hens can be accurately estimated. This information which is meant especially for the breeder and the judge,' has been published under the direction of the Hon. Martin Burrell, in a profusely illustrated bulletin, which is No. 18 Second Series of the Central Experimental Farm. Copies will be mailed to those who apply for them to the Publicarione Branch, De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. Cheese Factory and Creamery Plans. The Dairy and Cold Storage Com- missioner has, for many years, furn /shed plane and specifications for cheese factory and creamery buildings. Accordingly, a large number of factor- ies in different parts of the country, that have been built according to these plane, are now in successful operation. The plans and specifications provided were prepared to meet varying needs and conditions, With the passing of time, not only have a great many plans been prepared, but improve- ments have been introduced in accor- dance with the progress in the indus- try. In order to meet the demand for cor- ect information on this subject, there has been issued in Bulletin 41 of the Dairy and Cold Storage series, a full treatment of the subject, in which sev- en even different plans are dealt with. In these, various capacities, methods of construction, building materials, etc., have been taken up. This publication, which was prepared by Geo. H. Bair and J. G. Bouchard. embraces eighty- two pages and'contains many sketches, Anticipating a considerable demand for this bulletin a large number of, cop- ies have been printed.
