Many times the failure of securing a satisfafctory winter egg yield is due to neglect of the pullets early in the fall. The ordinary pullets begin laying at from six to seven months of age, and many farmers get a few puliet eggs in October and November, followed by little or no produetion in December or early January. Thig frequently is due to a change in roosting quarters or being over- crowded and gmdenen in the poultry house. Place In Winter Quarters Early. To ge! the best results the pullets should be placed in winter quarters by November 1st. Before that tims the henhouse should be thoroughly cleaned, the walls, ceiling, ete, brushed down, and all old cobwebs, ete.; removed. Then give the house a good whitewashing, and if the floor is earth or sand at least four inches of it should be renewed. Separate Pullets From Young Hens. If at all posdible, separate the pul- lets from the old hens and cockerals. In order to lay well, they should be fed all they will eat, particularly of ground grains and green foods, and should not be overcrowded. About twenty-five to thirty-five pullets is plenty for a pen twelve feet square; in fact in many cases twenty-five pul- lets in the pen will lay almost as many eggs as the thirty-five. Should you be fortunate in having too many pullets; or where you can make a se- lection, get the earliest and best matured ones into the pen first. & you have to erowd or sell some, get rid of the small, weak ones and those that are slow to develop. Well Lighted s cio Have the Pen and Ventilated. The pen should be light and well ventilated. Have all the ventilators or. openings on one side' of the house and close together. Do not have an opening in one end of the house and another in the other end. The Farmers' Platform Among those of the Labour party who are invited o support the candi- dature of Mr D. Kennedy, there exists 1 some uncertainty as to what is nvolved in their co-operation with the farmer policies. print herewith the official text of the farmers' platform, as drawn-up by the Canadian Council of Agriculture. The New National Policy 1 A League of Nations as an inter- national organization to give perman- ence to the world's peace by removing old causes of conflict. 2 We believe that the Pr devel- opment of the British Empire should be sought along the lines of partner- ship between nations free and equal, under the present governmental system of British constitutional auth- ority. We are strongly opposed to any attempt to centralize imperial conrol. Any attempt to set up and in- dependent authority with power to bind he dominions--whether this be termed parliament, council or cabinet, --would hamper the growth of res- ponsible and informed democracy in the dominions. : The tariff. 3 Whereas Canada is now confront- ed with a huge national war debt and other greatly increased financial obli- gations, which can be most readily and effectively reduced by the devel- opment of our natural resources, chief of which is agricultural lands; and Whereas it is agricultural career should be made attractive .o our returned soldiers and the large anticipated immigration and recognising the fact that this can best be accomplished by the development of a national policy which will reduce to a minimum the cost of living and the cost of production; and Whereas the war has revealed the amazing financial strength of Great Britain, which has enabled her to fln- struggle, but also to assist in finan- cing he allies to the extent of hun- dreds of millions of pounds, this en- viable position being due to the free trade policy which has enabled her to draw her supplies. freely from every These cause drafts whieh are very apt to produce colds and sickness. It usually takes a pullet at least three weeks to get over a cold, and she seldom lays while she has a cold. Keep the house dry, and use plenty of dry straw in which the birds cam scratch for the feed. Give Laying Hens Plenty of Food. Remember laying hen needs ' plenty of food, grit, and shell ma-! terial. Also there' should be a var-| a {iety to the food; that is green food i such as clover leaves, cabbage, or sprouted oats, or if none of these can be had some roots. She also needs some form of meat food--sour milk is the best, nut beef scrap, or | other meat offal, if untainted, wiil answer. Usually about one-third of the grain should be ground or evem up to one-half. The whole grain makes exercise in hunting for it im the straw. Always remember the pea should be clean, dry, and sweei.---- R. W. Graham, OC. A. College, Guelph. Winter Care of Pregnant Mares. The pregnant mare should be well fed and given regular exercise or light work. All focd and water given should be of first-class quality. She should be given more grain than the non-pregnant mare, as she has the foetus to support. All possible care should be ohserved to avoid digestive derangements; henes, .everyching consumed should be of gocd quality, easily digested, fed in proportion te amount of work performed and at regular intervals. In addition to hay and oats she should be given a few raw roots daily, and a feed of quarter of the globe, and consequent ly to undersell hercompet it ors world market, and because this policy has not only been profitable to - Great Britain, but has greatly strengthened the bonds of ernpire by facilitating trade between thie motherland and he: overseas dominions; we believe there- fore that the best 'interests of the empire and of Canada would be served by reciprocal action on the part of Canada through gradual reduction of the tariff on P3ritish imports, having for its objects closer union and a bet ter understatiding between Canada and the MotherBland, and at the same time bring about a great reduction in the cost of | living to our Canadian people; i Foster Combines ; "And whereas the protective tariff has fostered combines, trusts and "gentlemen's agreements" in almost every line of Canadian enterprize, by means of Which the people of Canada ---both urban and rural--have been shamefully exploited through the el imination of competition, the ruina- tion of raanys of our smaller industries and the advancement of prices or practically all manufactured goods te the full extent permitted by the tarifi; And whereas Agriculture--the basic industry upon which the success of all | our other industries depends--is un- bran with a cupful of linseed meal at least twice weekly.

AJl nervous excitement should be avoifi- ed; so also should sights whizh frighten her; also offensive odors; and operations. The use of drugs should not be tolerated, except upon the advice of a veterinarian. If necessary to give a-purgative, it is much safer to give raw linseed oil than aloes. Towards the end of pregnancy, still grers,ter care should be observed; and, while daily exercise up to the very last is advisable, it should be given more carefully and less of it when she becomes somewhat clumysy on aecount ef size and' weight.

(b) By reducing the customs ie on goods imported from Great Britain to one-half the rates charged under the general tariff, and that further gradual uniform reductions be made in the remaining tariff on British im- ports that will ensure' complete free trade between Great Britain and Can- ada in five years. ; (¢) By endeavouring to secure un- restrieted reciprocal trade in natural products with the United States along the lines of the Reciprocity Agree- ment of 1911, (d) By placing all foodstuffs on the free list. (e) That agricultural implements; farm and household machinery, vehi-. cles, fertilizers, coal, lumber, cemen gasoline, illuminating, fuel and Wy cating oils be placed on the free list, and that all raw materials and ma- chinery used in their manufacture be also placed on the free list. (f) That all tariff concessions gran- ted to other countries be immediately extended to Great Britain. (g) That all corporations engaged in the manufacture of products PLo- tected by the customs tariff be obliged to publish annually comprehensive and accurate statements of their carn- ings. (h) Tha every claim for tari f pro- tection by any industry be heard pub- licly before a special commitiee of parliament. AE Taxation Proposals - 4 As these tariff reductions may very considerably reduce the national revenue from that source, the Cana- dian Council of Agriculture would recommend that, in order to provide the necessary additional revenue for carrying on the government «f the country, direct taxation be ra in the following manner: (a) By a direct tax on unimproved land values, in cluding all nasural r sources. (b) By a graduated personal inc tax. (c) By a graduated inheritance on large estates. (d) By a graduated income tux on the profits of corporations. (e) That in levying and collecting the business profits tax the Dominion Government should insist that it be absolutely upon the hasis of actual cash invested in the business and that no consideration be allowed for wi is popularly known as watered stock. (f) That no more natural resources Be fox Wax be alienated from the crown, but be |' brought into use only under short- term leases, in which the interests of the public shall be properly safe guarded; such leases to be granted only by public auction. The Returned Soldiers 5 With regard to the returned sol- dier we urge: (a) That it is the recognised duty of Canada to exercise all due diligence for the future well-being of the re- turned soldier and his dependents. (f) That vocational training should be provided for those who while in the service became unfitted for their former occupations. (g) That provision should be made for insurance at the public expense of unpensioned men who have beconie undesirable insurance risks while in the service. (h) That facilitie es should be pro- vided at the public expense that will . | enable returned men to settle upon farming land when by training or ex- perience they are qualified to do so. 'Captal and labour 6_We recognise the very serious problem confronting labour in urban industry resulting from the cessation of war, and we urge that every means ceonomically feasible and practicable should be used by federal, provincial and municipal authorities in relieving unemployment in the cities and towas, and, further, recommend the adoption of the principle of co-operation as the guiding spirit in the future relations between employer and employees-- between capital and labour. 7 A land settlement scheme based on a regulating influence in the sell- ing price of land. Owners of idle ay should be chliged to file a selling price on their lands, that price zlso to be regarded as an assessable value for purposes of taxation. 8 Extension of co-operative agen- cies in agriculture to cover the whole field of marketing, including arrange- ments with consumers' societies for the supplying of food-stuffs at the lowest rates, and with the minimum of middleman handling. 9 Public ownership and control of railway, water and aerial transporta- reas tion, telephone, telegraph and express systems, all projects in the develop- ment of natural power mining industry. and of the coal Rahat Merchant, OZDRIFT, Ont, dealer in Dry Goods Groceries Boots and Shoes Hardware and Farm Produce Agent for Yorkshire Insurance Company Frost &.
