Fertile eggs from vigorous stock are essential in good hatching. They are ob- tained only from stock properly mated and kept under the best possible condi- tions to secure- heaith and vitality. Eggs from overfat breeding stock do not usual- ly produce muany strong chicks. 1f breeding- birds are confined they should be fed a varied supply of grains, meat and green feed. The green feed helps to keep fowls in good breeding con- dition. Free range is usually important in the production of hatchable eggs .as it is much -easier to keep up the vitality of stock: handled in this manner than in birds’ that are yarded. From eight to twelve females of the America nor general-purpose. class and twelve to fifteen of the Mediterranean class can be mated with one male, de- vending on hig age and vitality and| where the fowis are yarded, but this pro-; portion may bé increased where the birds have free range. Good ventilation in the house is a great help in keeping the stock in good brecding condition. i Abnormal, small and poorly-shaped ezgs should be discarded. Do not set eggs which have thin op, very porous-appear- ing shells. Eggs should be set when, fresh, if possible, and it is not advisable to use eggs for hatching which are over | two weecks old, although stale ones fre- quently hatch. eggs of the same color is one of quickest - ways to secure uniformity {the offspring and increase the eggs. lt-s well to cleag dirty eggs by rubbing lightly with a damp cloth, [llklng care not to rub off any more of the natural bloom of the egg than is nec- essary. Duck eggs usually require wash- ing, which does not appear to njure their hatching qudlities, in the size of CALVES SHOULD BE FED ALONE. Where there are more than one calf to attend to, they should be separated at feeding time so that each will be able to obtain its share. They can be placed in separate closed stalls for this purpose. Calves do not all feed alike, and there- fore they should be watched and cattred | to as they demand. Some calves can take more milk than' others without causing | any bad results, and others take the feed best: Whatever they crave that should be allowed them. -Where this attention is | overlooked successful growth cannot be expected. Every day that the sun shines out warm the baby caif should be turned into an open lot to permit it to run and play until it has had al] the exercise it needs. ‘While the calf is in thig pen an excellent opportunity, is afforded” to give the pen & good cleaning. Sprinkle the floor with lime and upon this fresh bedding, thus giving a nice dry bed for the night. There is nothing more important to the welfare of the calf. ‘When the calf has arrived at the age of two months, the grain ration should| be increased. Keep it growing rapidly by allowing three pounds a day of the following ration: One hundred pounds wheat bran, 100 Dound! ground oats, 10 pounds oil mea] and 25 pounds beet pulp. “Thoroughly mix. This ration should be kept up for an- other month, at which time separated milk should be given in place of the whole milk, and the former should be continued until the animal has reached six or. eight months of age. For the youpg growing calf there is nothing better than milk, even though it is separated milk, as it makes better growth and furnishes vigor. | USE FOR INCUBATORS.

A special cellar or Imew- bator house should be provided where the ineubator equipment is extensive or where mammoth ‘machines are used. ‘hief points are to have a room which is 10t subject to great variations in tem- serature and which is well ventilated, so that the air'is fresh and pure, according to Farmers' Bulletin 1108, Incubation of Hens' Eggs, issued by the United States department of agricuiture. If built above ground, the walls of the incubator house should be double and the entire building well insulated. Incubators may be operated in buildings with single walls, especially in mild climates, but a well insulated' room is preferable. Good results in hatching are secured in incu- bator cellars and in incubatr roomsi which are entirely aboye tne = grounu level. The incubator room or cellar should be large enough to allow the attendant to work around the machines convenlently. incubator cellars are provided with some system of ventilation in addition to windows, while in others the ventila tion, is controlled entirely by the latter method.

POOR SEED, is the parent of the young plant aud transmits its qualities—good Bad or ina} Itereut—just as in the case of stock. 1f the parent is weak, the plant will inherit a delicate constitution. If the parent is strong, the plant will de- velop a vigorous growth, which is neces- sary for a satisfactory erop. No amount of good tillage nor expensive manure will compensate for defective seed. The weight of seed is an important factor in assur- ing. large yields. Plump, well formed grain contains a full supply of nourish- ment for the plant springing from it This enables the young seedling to get a #ood start in life, whiel is half the bat- tle. Relatively witn the _increasing| weight of seed the germinating capacity and the harvest is increased. Farmers | should bear in' mind that the produce of | the crop increases with the weight of the | seed. . Plump seed produces strong plant | with heavy ears. It increases the propor- tion of heavy grain in the crop; light, shriveled seed’ yields little grain. Plump | seed develops vigorous root formation and | the plants can utilize more of the fertil- izer and soil plant food. Plants from plump seed grow quickly and strongly and are better able to withstand attacks of insectsc diseases and prolonged spells of dry weather tham those that are weak and struggling.

THE_AGE OF SOWS, When observations have been made with regard to the age of sows and its influence upon the litters produced, it has been found that sows four or five years old averaged nine pigs per litter, weigh- ing 26.8 pounds, but where the sows were only two or. three years old they aver- aged seven and one-half pigs per litter, weighing 19.7 pounds. Pigs of a year old, on the other hand, averaged® 7.5 pigs per litter, weighing 14.2 pounds. SO0Y BEAN HARE!
