Different Kinds of Stations and Their Location in Canada. Department of Agriculture, Commissioner‘s Branch, The Dominion Depirtment of Agriâ€" cuiture has in operation in Canada three poutry breeding stations, three chicken rearing â€" stations, and ten chicken fottening stationsâ€"sixtcen in ail The poultry breeding stations are located in Holmesville and Bowmanâ€" viile, Ont., and Bondville, Que. At ecach of these stations a modern po.try house is erected, and about 125 utilityâ€"type Barred Plymouth Rock pullets are kept. At HMolmesâ€" viile and Bowmanville double pouitry houses aqre bui.t. These houses are 80 feet long and 16 feet wide, and contain ten breeding pens of Barred Plymouth Rocks. The reosting quarâ€" ters are separated from the exerâ€" ciging pens, and are planned to withâ€" stand the cold; the fowls are kept warm at pight. The single poultry house is erected at Donmsville, Que., A WOMAN‘S FACE POULTRY STATIONS. WHEN BABY CRIES. and is 100 feet long and 12 feet wide. During cold nights the roostâ€" ing quarters are closed by a cheap burlapâ€"covered irame. The fowls are kept warm at night. On account of the cold winter weather throughout Canarda a warm roosting pen should be built in house. It is the intention of the Departâ€" ment of Agriculture to develop the utilityâ€"type strain of Barred Plyâ€" mouth KRocks and to distr.butec‘ them to the Tarmers at a nominal price. Last year about 8.0 Barred Plyâ€" mouth Rocks were sold to the (armâ€" ers. The demand for Plymouth Rocks has greatiy increased this year. Te pouitry breeding stations are equipped with incubators, brocders, and movable houses. One incubator will generally hatch as many ch ckâ€" ens as 20 sitting hens. The most satâ€" isfactory method of rearing 200 or more chickens a year is with these movable rouses and indoor breeders. The house and brooder are cheap in construction and can be built at home. It is profitable for almost every farmer near a large city to raise and fatten from 200 to 500 chickens a year. The chicken rearing statione are operated at Chicoutimi, Que., Andoâ€" ver, N. B. ,and Vernon River Bridge, P. E. L They carry on the same work as the poultry breeding etations, exâ€" cept that the eggs for hatching mre bought from farmers who possess good flocks of Barred Plymouth Rocks. There are no «pecially selectâ€" ed Plymouth Rock pullets at these station«. iA * Tho chicken fattening etations are located at Sandwich, Ont., Stanford, Que., Rogereville, N.. B., East Amâ€" herst and Northeast Margaree, NA, Alberton, Glen{finnan, Montague Bridge, Mount Stewart and Eldon, P. E. I. These illustration stations purchase chickens from the farmers for fattening. The stations have an equipment of fattening crates, shapâ€" ing boards, etc. ‘The chickens are fatted for 24 days in the crates, and at the completion of that time are starved 36 hours, killed by dislocaâ€" tion of the meck, pressed into & square shape and packed into boxes~ _ This year it is the intention _ of the Dominion Department of Agriâ€" culture, to sell fatted farmers‘ chickâ€" ens on all the principal Canadlan markets and to show the :onsumers tho improved â€" qiality of â€" crateâ€"fed chickens. Up to the present time no chickens have been exported by the Department of Great Britain. The prico received, per pound, is from 10 to 13 cents, plucked weight. ‘This courso will be pursued so that farmâ€" ers in any part of Canada fattening their chickens can sell them to dealâ€" ers who recognize the value ol fatâ€" tod chickens and pay an increased price per pound for them. Condiments or Correctivesâ€"â€" Various Kinds. i _ Department of Agriculture, Commissioner‘s Branch, Hogs that are closely confined and highly fed require a corrective _ of some kind to maintain the digestive system in a normal condition of health, and the fatter the pig the greater the necessity, says Live Stock Commissioner, F. W. Modson. When the digestive organs become clogged with fat their ability to digest and assimilate is weakened. Whea a hog is running at large, he does not root up the pasture from pure love of exercise, nor does he do it because of innate cussedness. He roots to obtain something for which his system craves. It is this craving that causes a confined pig to gnaw and ‘tear at the trough and sides of the pen ; and hogs have been known to tear apart brick walls in order to get at the mortar. The cause of this unnatural craving | is not well understood. It may be due in part to a lack of ash in the food, for, as bas already been stated, a hog may be getting all the geain he can eat and yet be ;!)aniu.l!y; starved, because certain requirements of the eystem are insufficiently supâ€" plied. It Las been attributed _ by some to the presence of intestinal worms, and by others to some form of indigestion. Whatever may be tho part played in the animal economy, by those substances, one thing is evlear, that, when they are supplied, hogs aro hbealthier, eat better, thrivo better, and, consequently pay; better. (tk _ Elt $ EPW RRTZC + T Charcoal is probably one of _ the best correctives, and, when it can be readily obtained, it will pay to keep a supply in some place where the hogs can get at it whenever they like. â€" Tue following preparation is that â€" used by Mr. Theodore Louis, one of the most successiul hog {feed= ers in the United States, and should be an excellent tonic ; "Take six bushels of corncob ch;u‘-! coal.or three bushels of common charâ€" chal; eight po unds of Balt ; two quarts of airâ€"slaked lime ; one bushel of wood ashes. Break the charcoal well down, with shovel or other imâ€" plement, and thoroughly mix. ‘Then take one and a quarter pounds of copperas and dissolve in hot water, and with an ord.nary watering pot sprinkle over the whole mass â€" and then again mix thoroughly. Put this mixture into the selfâ€"{eeding boxes, and place where hogs of all ages can. eat of their conteats at pleasure," . The charcoal furniches the required mineral matter which may have teen lacking 1o the food, and is also an excellent corrective for digestive troubles, winile the copperas is a valuable tonic and â€" stomach‘c. it the charcoal is at all hard to get, ite place is taken almost as well by sods or earth rich in humus. _ It is questionable, indeed, if there is anyâ€" thing better than sods or vegetable mold taken from the woodlot. I a small quantity be thrown into each pen daily, it is astonishing to see how mucl ol it the hogs wil consume ; and the improved health and thrilt of the animals will be a revelation to the feeder that has never before tried it. Ground bone, wood ashes, soft coal, old mortar, rotten wood, etc., are also among the substances used, and recommended for this purpose. Prof. Henry reports some interesting exâ€" periments to test the value of bone meal and hard wood ashes, when given as a cupplement to an CXâ€" clusive corn ration.
