Spring Coats Adopt Novel Back Treatments Galyak Still Leads in the Race for STOVE; BY Annognm; THE DURHAM CHRONICLE -Iz The sheep industry in 1928 was very good both for meat and wool. Reviewâ€" ing the year, Live Stock Market and Meat Trade Review issued by the De- ,partment of Agriculture at .Ottawa,% shows that the weal clip averaged frOm ’five to twenty-five per cent above. the values received the previous year, while sheep and lamb sales were fully $1 per hundredweight above the ‘ 1927 Emarket. Confidence in the future of the industry is expressed in that the industry showed an appreciable exâ€" pansion, gains being especially good in Ontario and the four Western Prov-a inces. The total sales at stock yards during the year reached 469,172, head being approximately 5,000 head more than the sales of the previous? year. 01191; "I‘D WOVU " v- 7-â€" v The season was characterized by the heaviest movement in any of the past five years, with values well above 1927.

(Experimental Farms Note) When chicks are to be hatched by the natural method it is well to set several hens at once. As the eggs are‘ tested from time to time and the in- fertile eggs removed those remaining can be given to fewer hens. Then when the chicks hatch a few hens will be able to brood' a larger flock of the same age. When this system is used the hens from which the eggs have been taken may be re-set and kept going for several weeks. Mr. F. C. El- ford, the Dominion Poultry Husband- man, in Circular No. 70, “Natural In- cubation”, published by the Depart- ment of Agriculture at Ottawa, recom- mends thoroughly dusting the hen with sulphur or insect powder before she is set. The nest should be made ready and the hen placed on the eggs, pre- iferably after dark. To test the hen and obtain the maxi- mum amount of Motor pleasure your car must be in fit condition.
