On farms, where the fowl are allowed to forage for themâ€" lulvel most of the year, there are many mistakes made in breeding, the fault often being due to both male and female. The males, often late hatched,' lack vigor and are small in size. Beâ€" cause such birds give a high percentâ€" age of fertility in eggs does by no' means warrant the assumption that| the chicks hatched will be sturdy.| Good hens are almost as important as i good males. For best results it is not wise to mate the entire flock, better pick out only the best females and mate them to the best males procurâ€" able. Never mate cockerels and pulâ€" lets. Never use hens which have been sick and out of condition. Bowel trouâ€" ble and diarrhoea are oomeumeli caused by infection of the egge, thcro-l fore the necessity of not breeding from any birds thus infected. The best of eggs may be ruined by faulty incuba tion, not only artificial, but when broody hen is used. If the hen is filghty she should not be used. Nests should be in a place easly accessible, where water and food are conveniently obtained. Incubator chicks are just as strong as hen hatched if they are properly hatched. Too high or too low a temperature, not enough fresh air, and wrong moisture conditions, are the most common faults of weak chicks from artificial incubation. Do away with these causes and you hatch good, vigorous, healthy chicks. Good incubators aro usually obtained by These are the signs that indicate poor diet: Low vitality and susceptiâ€" bility to disease; wrinkles and crows‘ feet; early signs of age; hair loses its luster, falls out, is uneven and easily broken; digestive system out of order and inefficient.

W. Knipe To sum up the matter, the remody for the great loss of chicks is "pre vention." "Eternal vigilance" is the price which must be paid to reduce the loss to a minimum. Careful feed and attention from the day the chicks are hatched, for remember, these chicks may eventually be the breeders you are going to depend on, and must have every chance to mature into wellâ€"developed, vigorous pullets and cockerels. to get the proper amount of food if compelied to Yight with much larger birds for it. Keep your baby chicks growing every minute till they maâ€" ture, which can be done by proper feeding. Improper feeding is feeding too soon and without making chicks work for their meals. Positively, do not feed chicks before they are 48 hours old. The yolk of the egg proâ€" vides food for at least that length of time. Additional food is overâ€"loading a small stomach and causes digestive troubles. No matter how brooded the chickens must be kept free from vermin, must be kept dry, must have plenty of exerâ€" cise, and small birds should not be allowed to run with halfâ€"grown ones, as the little chaps don‘t have a chance y | The close confinement of baby chicks is often claimed to cause legâ€"weakness, something which rarely is seen in chicks which are allowed on outside run, ever for a few minutes, after they are about a week old. Of course, in stormy or wet weather this is imposâ€" sible, therefore for such occasions keep sand or fine litter orm the floor. Feed grain. in dry litter to induce exâ€" ercise. Keep brooder house well venâ€" tilated. Supply green feed such as sprouted oats, lettuce, green alfalfa or clover cuttings. poultry raisers, yet a great number of these people make the "penny wise"and pound foolish" mistake of thinking they can make a brooder at home quite good enough to brood the small numâ€" ber of chicks they raise. Too often these homeâ€"made brooders do not keep the proper temperature nor supply the ventilation necessary. Again, if the brooding system is too small for numâ€" ber of chickens hatched there is apt to be "crowding," causing loss through suffocation. Coops without floors for henâ€"hatched chicks often result in chilling the Mttle birds. Chills usually bring along bowel trouble. ‘ Cured by one application of MEDORA CREAM.

Run a separate wire from the generator through this ammeter and then connect it to the battery of the car, first disconnecting the regular wire. Now if on running the engine this ammeter shows the normal chargâ€" ing rate it indicates that the trouble is elsewhere in the electric system and not in the generator. Often a genâ€" erator is suspected, and this simple test clears it without disturbing any other part of the wiring system, which is an obvious advantage. TORONTO Large cracks which may require a fiexible joint are repaired by heating with a blowtorch until the surroundâ€" ing surface is warm. Asphaitâ€"soaked rags are then tamped in with a hamâ€" mer and a hardwood stick and then covered with pure asphalt or heavy tar. These hints will apply also to cisterns or water tanks. Surface checks usually do no harm and are often the result of excessive strain on the surface when the water evaporates. But if the checks arse cracks and extend through the wall they should be repaired. Pure cement wash is perhaps as good as anything. But to make the wash bond perfectly with the old concrete the surface should be soaked with water for sevâ€" eral minutes before the wash is apâ€" plied. The wash should be of the consistency of thick cream first, then thickened until it will just pour, It is not fair to teach the children that town people have nothing to do, because it is not true.

The child ’wu disappointed and inwardly deterâ€" mined that she would live in town ‘when she got big, so that she might |look pretty and have time to wear stylish dresses. The mother paid no attention to the child, but ten years hence she will be trying to keep the girl from carrying out her childish resolve. In another home, when the children proposed small excursions and picnics â€"little day trips in the family car to places of interestâ€"the mother was wont to say, "City people have time to go gading, but country folks have to work," thinking that she was showâ€" ing her boys and girls how much more virtuous country people were than their town neighbors. But she sucâ€" ceeded only in convincing them that the city must be a delightful place to live in, if people there had all the time they wanted for rest and recreation. Locating Electrical Trouble. Whenever work is held up; consciâ€" ously or unconsciously, as a thing to be avoided, children long for a place where there are no chores to do. If fathers and mothers, instead of deâ€" ploring the supposed idleness of city life, would make a point of impressâ€" ing on their boys and girls the deâ€" lights of farm life and would give them opportunities to make money from the chores, young people would be more content with the country. All that may be quite true, but the small boy who wants to go fishing inâ€" stead of being made to dig potatoes and to drive the cows to pasture conâ€" cludes that the city must be a pretty pleasant place if the city boys have nothing to do. And the little girl who is bidden to carry water to the chickâ€" ens or to pick peas for dinner resolves to go to town just as soon as she is big enough, because there nobody keeps chickens and vegetables are bought instead of being picked from vines. to bring up children, because it furnishes plenty of chores and healthâ€" ful work for them to do. bewailing the fact that the young people leave the farms for city life, and as many more reams have been covered with directions for checking the movement. But still the exodus goes on, and it will continue until the attitude of country folk toward the city folk undergoes a decided change. Meanwhile it is useless for anxious fathers and mothers to buy pianos, asutomobiles, home comforts, fine houses and fine furniture in the hope of stemming the tide cityward. For the fault is largely the parents‘. Most country boys and girls have been brought up to think that the city is a haven of rest. Country mothers seem to take pride in telling how much work they do and how helpless town ladies are, and they are forever pointâ€" ing out that the country is the place Repairing Silo Walls.
