This varies from 10 to 12 days in the case of heavy old fowl to from 3 to 5 weeks with young cockerels in full health growth. This is true of roasting chick- ens, ducklings, goslings. and roasting turkeys. Fowl. both old hens and old “roosters. can be crate fattened to splen- did advantage if they are in prime con- dition of flesh. The same applies to chickens that have reached maturity of growth and which are healthy, vigorous and fairly well fleshed. One should never try to crate feed a bird that is not in perfect health and fair flesh. Medium sized birds of the general purpose breeds will give better results in crate feeding than the lighter breed types. I The length of time it will pay to feed poultry depends on the type of birds being finished in this manner.. All poultry intended for eating pur- poses should be properly finished before being sent to market. This is more I than ever the axiom of success in poul- try raising on the farm. With the leading wholesale merchants now buy- ing poultry by the Canadian standards for Dressed Poultry, more popularly known as the “government grades", the prOper finishing of poultry becomes a matter of dollars and cents concerned to the farmer because of the different- ‘ials now being paid between grades. By the simple process of crate feeding he ,‘can add from 500. to 75¢. or more to the ‘value of the bird he has to market.

In considering the supply of good seed the farmer should take into ac- count the suitability of his own stock. Is it the best variety available for his conditions? Is it relatively free from other varieties, other kinds cf grain, and weed seeds? Has it strong vitality? Can it be cleaned into first class seed? If these questions cannot all be ans- wered in the aflirmative it is advisable to secure seed of suitable quality and purity elsewhere. Registered seed is before the supply of suitable grain is Auk-nn-‘AJ lbrought from heavy soil regions. 80. also with the question of latitudes, seed brain is often shipped long distances north and south very much at random as to reason but usually with the hope that some good will come in increased yield because of the change.
