This means that with eggs selling at an average of 35 cents per dozen it takes 6.95 dozen, or 81 eggs, to pay for the keep of the laying henâ€"only the eggs laid in excess of that number can count as profit. This demonstrates the importance of carefully culling poultry flocks before the laying season begins. It is the hens that lay from 150 to 200 eggs a year that pay. Remodelling of Barns This is the «building season on the farm. Although there will not be many new barns built this year, there will be the usual amount of remodelling of cow stables. The stables should be con- structed to keep out cold and conserve the animal heat, at the same time let- ting the air move through the stable by some well designed ventilating measure. In most cases the barns having the poorest ventilation facilities are those where the inside temperature is too low. The following suggestions could be fol- lowed to good advantage by dairy farm- ers: Don’t have the stable too high; eight feet to the bottom Joists is plenty. Have as few doors as possible and have them tight. Four square feet of wind- ow lights per cow is sufficient. Insul- ate the walls. Warm stables are desir- able from every standpointâ€"if well ventilated.

Hunter ranks high in the public confidence and esteem of the community, the opening day crowds which attended this sale on Saturday were certame conclusive evidence of the popularity of this store. We doubt if in the history of Durham there was ever seen such a mass of buyers as literally stormed the store all day Saturday. reaching a climax in the evening when we were forced to lock the doors to prevent a complete demoralization of our large sales force. They cameâ€"they sawâ€"they boughtâ€"the greatest array of real values ever oflered to the public of this vicinity. On every hand were heard many expressions of genuine regret, at the passing out of this fine old store. However, “The Die is Cast" and there is no turning back in the task of selling out this stock complete to the last button. We are under contract to turn the stock into cashâ€"4t must be doneâ€"it will be doneâ€"our prices and values will do the trick. We owe you an apology for not being entirely ready for opening dayâ€"as owing to the size of this stock it was an utter irnpossibility to finish the task of marking down the entire stock in the limited time at our disposal before opening day. However every day new lines are being marked down and placed on sale, and everything in the store will be reduced and placed on sale within a very short time.

A Wonderful Tribute to a Fine Old Firm Horticultural experts of the Dominion Department of Agriculture are author- ity for the statement that the raspberry is easily the most important bush fruit grown in Canada. and among the small fruits it ranks second to the straw- berry. The annual production amounts to some 2,500,000 quarts, having a 3ei~ ling value of roughly $500,000. This does not take into consideration the produc- tion from city lots and back gardens which is very considerable in volume. At a production rate of 1,500 quarts per acre it would take at least 1.500 acres to produce this crop, and including new plantations the area planted to rasp- berries is close on to 2.500 acres. Briâ€" tish Columbia is the leading raspberry producer. with Ontario a close second. The raspberry is not a commercial crop in Nova Scotia or the Prairie Provinces. but it is cultvated to a profitable extent in every Province of the Dominion. and grows wild from coast to coast and as far north as the delta of the Mackenzie River. W 812: mm: 0? WITH“ 0N FARMS fields decrease loss of time in turning large outfits: the mom turns there are the greater is the tendency to rest oft- ner. Large fields mean fewer rods of fence to build. and a smaller amount of untillable area to foster weed growth. It takes 50 rods of fence to enclom a square field of one acre. while it takes only eight rods of fence per acre to enclose a square field of ten acres. Oblong fields from one and one-half to three times as long as they are wide are especially satisfactoryâ€"the. long fields are best for tractor use. Square fields take the fewest rods of fence per acre. Very badly shaped fields should be kept in hay or pasture as much as possible. Large fields. properly laid out, save time and money.
