At present this hatchery is sending out 12,000 chicks a week to various parts of Ohio apd other states, The hatch- ery plant is so constructed as to per- mit the placing of two rows of in- cubators. total capacity of 66,000 eggs| The heating is done by hot-water beilers which automatically keep the tem- perature at 103 degrees. Before be- ing put in the incubators, the cggs are carefully tested for fertility. Each Tuesday of the hatching sea- son, which extends from the first of March to early October, a batch of chicks is taken from the machine and immediately shipped to customers. hn Green Bone Best for Layers No one has yet found a better food for laying hens than fresh green bone finely ground. It contains all the necessary fat, protein and phos- phates to assist the hen in produc- ing the egg and keeping henself well and-strong. It is an aimal food. When fowls are allowed to forage well and strong. It is an animal food. such as bugs, worms, etc., as that is what they crave, so how can they be expected to do" the proper work "if placed on a so-called short or stinted ration, which is what they are sub- jected to when locked up in a house and fed on dry, hard cereals, with no change for months except a little water. Fresh bone is juicy and rich in undried blood. Its particles do not closely adhere, and being Juicy is not brittle but pliable; hav- ing its natural - juices interspersed among its particles, the fresh bone is digestible and nourishing. But it must be fed sparingly, especially at first, . g a Cow Testing Here and there ome finds a dairy- man who hesitates about taking up cow testing because of the initial ex- pense of about three dollars for the necessary outfit of scales and bottles. This weunld seem to be an extreme case of "penny wise and pound fool- ish." So many examples are con- stantly cropping up of distinct sav- ing through the small expenditure that they should be noted for the encouragement of those who stil hesitate. : Cows have been bought at auction time after time, cows which were discarded by owners who were evi- dently absolutely ignorant of their high value as good producers. Af- ter one or two months' test the new owners have often refused $50 and $100 on their bargains. That is a\ pretty quick return on the cow test- ing outfit expenditure. In fact amongst such discards at auction were picked up one or two world's champions, worth thousands of dol- lars. This vital fact should not be over- looked: Hundreds of poor cows are being kept to-day at huge expense of whose low value the owners are probably ignorant. Yet a three dol- lar outfit would help discover them soon turning the present loss into distinct savings. 3 ; Then, thanks to that small ex- pense, many dairymen are now mak- ing an additional income of three hundred dollars from twenty COWS, because the poorest have been dis- carded. It will abundantly pay every dairyman to keep dairy records. Poultry Breeding Good health and good quality are the twin corner stones of successful poultry breeding. The foundation will be faulty if either is lacking. Give plenty of charcoal te poultry, especially those kept on the exten- sive plan, since it, is one of the best things for keeping fowls in a healthy condition. While the value of poultry drop- pings as a fertilizer has often been largely overrated, it is very true that they are far more valuable than any other fertilizer made on the farm, They should, therefore, be carefully preserved by being kept fairly dry. An apple orchard makes a splendid run for poultry. « It furnishes shade and protection, and the fowls can al- ways find green food and insects among the trees. The poultry are also a great benefit to the orchard because of their destroying the in- sects, ntost of which are harmful to the fruit. Experience in poultry culture dds not come in a week, month, or a year, but: with years of patient toil, experiment, and observation. It isa trade, or rather, a profession, and he who is ambitious to stand at the head of the class must study his les- son daily, and put in practice what he has learned, instead of entirely re- lying on the theories of others. Self- culture and self-confidence are two valuable auxiliaries in poultry-rais- ing. When Horses Are Il Professor M'Call, Glasgow, in a series of lectures on the care of ani- mals in disease, referred to the im- portance of the early recognition of signs of illness. The medical profes- sion had the advantage of ascertain- ing much information from their pa- tients, but the veterinary surgeon and the owners had to depend en- tirely upon their powers of observa- tion. The ideal housing for a sick horse was a roomy, well-lighted and well-ventilated loose box, free from draughts, and if possible, separate from the stable. It was remarkable in this enlightened twentieth cen- tury how our forefather's prejudice against fresh air was largely retain. ed, and healthy and sick animals alike housed in vitiated atmospheres. Pure air was most important for the welfare of all animals. All farmers and live-stock owners jshould have loose-box accommoda- tion for sick animals, as frequently owing to lack of such it was neces- | AGRICULTURAL TOPICS = | FOR WHIG READERS | It is 800 feet long with a' AY, MAY 8, 1614. ii - Ee es SEER sary to treat serious cases in the stall "of a large stable, where the atmosphere became cold by day when the other horses were out and vitiat- ed by night when they returned, such conditions beihg most prejudicial to respiratory affections of all kinds. In the feeding of sick animals special diets were recommended, and it was a wise policy to give small quantities at short intervals, and to vary the menu as far as possible.--H.J.D. : i Stand of Alfalfa The preparation of the seed bed is the most important single operation in process of getting a stand of al- falfa and keeping it. On the irrigat- ed. lands the plowing should be eight to twelve inches deep. The plowing, if done in the spring, should be done as long before seeding as possible. For non-irrigated land the soil should be thoroughly double disked. This should be done especially on the loam and heavier lands." If not done, there is a strong tendency for more or less of a crust to form. The result is a considerable joss to tilth or proper physical condition. Often of winter, when the freezing and thawing will break down the clods formed. In order thoroughly to confpact and pulverize the soil, the plow should be followed the same half day with the disk harrow and spike tooth harrow. This treatment, if well carried out, will produce a deep seed bed well pulverized and compacted below the surface and loose at the immediate surface. Such Ja seed bed has a surface free from air spaces. There is no compacting agency so good as time and nature, 80 if such a seed bed ean stand for a month or six weeks before seeding, it will be in even better condition for planting than when first prepar- ed. In the event of heavy beating rains, which form a crust prior to seeding time, the surface should be again put into condition by disking and harrowing.---Alvin Keysen. Forage Plants As has been the practice ever since the work with forage plants was un- dertaken by the Dominion experi- mental farms, the principal varie- ties of the different kinds of forage plants have been grown during the past year with the object of deter- mining their relative value. During the season of 1913 the tests conduct- ed in duplicate By the division of forage plants at the central experi- mental farm and the branch experi- mental farms and stations through- out Canada consisted of eleven varie- ties of Indian corn, nineteen varie- ties of turnips, thirteen varieties of mangolds, six varieties of carrots and three - varieties of sugar beets. The work with leguminous forage plants and grasses, ineluding alfalfa and clover, consisted of breeding for increased hardiness, breeding for high, yielding strains a superior quality, and experiments with tim- othy, orchard grass, western rye grass and some wild grasses. In or- der to place the more important re- sults of the season's work before the public in a summarized form, bulle- tin No. 76 has been prepared by Dr. M. O. Malte, Dominion agrostologist, and the superintendents of the branch experimental farms and sta- tions.
