KIDD and - A study of the distribution of the egg production is interesting; and imâ€" portant from the point of the annual returns from the birds. Egg prices ‘rise and fall with the seasons and 'usually the greatest profit is made where eggs are produced at a season or seasons of the year when prices are high. Pullets are. the chief source of egg supply. They require usually from six to seven months in which 'to mature. It is, therefore,_possible ‘to regulate their production in the fall months at least to some extent by regulating the time they will ‘hatch in the spring. The main source of eggs produced during Oc- tober and November is the March {matched pullet. By December the May hatched pullets are out for a. 'reputation.

As soon as a hen goes into a moul! she uses her feed to manufacturé feathers, and her egg production falls generally to a. minimum of nothing It is easily noticed that some hen: go into a moult much earlier than others. If a hen starts to moult it July her laying for the summer is about ovw. So we say that late moulting and heavy egg: production go together, because it gives the her. a longer summer period and still she is back in form in time for wintei produclion. SQ says Prof. W. R. Gm ham, Ontario Agricultural College. 7 Laying Hen and Her Plumnge. A hen will not lay if not in good condition. She should be healthy free from any disease, and show plenty of vigor and activity. The first millet to lay in the fall is the early maturing one. The hen which is a slow growers, is slow in feather The quest you tell whé mg?" This quires but a a. hen commenecs laying the condi‘ tlons set up in the reproductive or- gans are very similar to conditions in any pregnant animal. Preparation is made for laying, much as for par- turition in a cow. When the ovary is dormant and no eggs are being produced the dis- tanco between the pelvic bones is very small. The Vent is dry. small, puckered, and in yellow-fleshed chle- ens has a decided band of yellow pigment around the inside. When laying commences the pelvic bones become pliable and spread apart. The distance may increase from one to three fingers in :1. short time. The vent becomes large and moist. and after two or three eggs have been laid the ring of yellow pigment has disappeared and the vent is bleached.

It takes a dry year to show the benefits de~ rived from liberal applications of stable manure. that are free from direct draughts over the. birds, and that are well- llghted. The feeding consists of a variety of grains, green feed. animal feed, grit and shell, which is clean, sweet and wholesome, and is given to the birds regularly and in such quantities that they have all they want to eat before going to roost at night; that the supply of drinking, material is clean and abundant; that the attendant is regular in his or her work and is interested in the same; that the birds are bred from good laying ancestors, and that they are hatched 'at the proper season and well reared, and are free from dis- ease. When Eggs Are \Vorth Most. , The requirements for 1 production, says Prof. W. R. of the Ontario Agricultural are clean, dry, comfortable are clean, dry that are free A horse that previously has been overcome with heat may fail to sweat in hot weather and be subject to re- currence of the attack. It sweating can be caused danger may be offset. Brisk massage of the skin helps, and blanketing may be tried. When a chill occurs a strong liniment rubbed in from ear to ear stimulates sweatâ€" ing and circulation of blood. It should not be applied before putting on a blanket. Some have had good results from copious drenches of warm tea. containing ginger essence or tincture or the powdered root. Now that the poultry are at! the range and no'longer benefit the pick- ing of fresh green feed at liberty, a. substitute should be provided. Man- gels, kale, cabbage and sprouted oats do very well to supply in part the very necessary vitamines A and D, so essential to proper nutrition. A little attention to a. seemingly unim- portant point frequently means the diflerence between success and fail- ure with breeding stock. At the On- tario Agricultural College Poultry Department a. liberal allowance of green feed or roughage containing the vital elements is always available to the stockâ€"L.

Sorted According to Grade. The stock is driven to the scaleE by employes of the commission nrm, sorted and weighed into lots, accord- ing to the grade and price paid. A weigh ticket is made out and stamp-3d by employes of the stock yards com- pany showing the weight, owner, commission firm making the sale, purchaser, and agreed price. The stock is now out of the shippers" hands and driven and locked into pens, according. to the same grouping as weighed. Export cattle are kept separate, of course, 'to comply with the quarantine regulations. PRACTICES “'HICH ARE 150L- LO‘VED AT THE STOCK YARDS. Not Necessary for Owner to Be Pres- entâ€"Humane Society on Guardâ€"- Animals Are Sorted According to Grade and Payment Made on This Basis. ‘ It is not feasible to cite ah tho deviations the stock takes going through the yard, but "\t is possible to give the reader some idea of the regular channels of movement. Stock yards are built on a definite plan of small and large pens to effi- ciently fill the various requirements and each class of stock is allotted a certain section of the yard. On arrival of stock at the yards it is immediafiely unloaded into the un- loading pens and the pens are locked by the employes of the stock yards company. These pens are divided in- to sections so that the different classes of live stock can he kept separated in cases of mixed carloads. Usually all the cars of the train-load are unloaded into these pens before the distribution Of stock to the varâ€" ious pens for sale or feeding. During this operation there is a member of the Humane Society present, whose duty it is to see that the live stock has been properly loaded, cared for in transit and that 'it is handled ju- diciously about the yards, also to direct the care of dead and crippled animals. It is not absolutely neces- .sar-y'for the owners of the stock to be present as their interests are lookâ€" ed after by employes of the stock yards company. Each class of stock from‘here goes to its own section in the yards. It is not necessary to fol- low a carload of each class of stock through, so will confine this report to. a'carload of butcher cattle. HandlingP Butcher Cattle. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) When the cattle leave the unloading pens they are counted and this must check with the railroad shipping bill. They are then moved and locked in a. pen in the alleys of’ the commission firm to Whom consigned, where feed and water are available. (It may be stated he‘s that most cattle are fed and water (1 as in order to receive a good price it is necessary that they have a good 1111 to appear at their best at time of sale. If not, the buy- ers take advantage of this and cut the price, so a numberef shippers try to reach the market a day preâ€" vious to selling in order that the catâ€" tle may have a good fill and quiet down.) he gate is unlocked and the stock rele sed to the commission firm, after it accepts the count and signs a slip to that effect; it is responsible now for any stealing or mixing of stock. Before the market opens the stock is sorted according to grade. The mar- ket opens at 9 am. and closes at 4 p.n1., and no trading is done before or after these hours under penalty provided by the rules of the Live Stock Exchange. ‘ When the market op‘ens the buyers enter the pens. look over the stock and make their bids for the whole pen if they are of even quality or inâ€" dividuals, according to grade. The price \otfered depends on trade con- ditions, and supply and demand us- ually establish it. When the sales-- man is satisfied that he has the high- est possible bid he completes the sale, as it seldom pays to carry the stock over until the next day. Each party keeps his own records and a final settlement is effected later when the day’s bargaining is over. It Is a credit to the market personnel that such a huge business can be carried on in this manner without the scratch of a pen to an agreement and On hogs shipped co-operativeiy the selling weights are deducted from the home weight and the shrink pro rated to each animal. Each 101: must bear a distinguishing marl: so that each shipper receives the proper grading sheet. The scissors make the best mark by cutting the hair in various designsâ€"A. Leitch, Dept. of Economics, 0. A. College. When hogs leave the unloading pens they are counted and checked the same as the other stock. They are taken directly to the scales and weighed, then locked into pens, and either ted and watered or not. ac- cording to instruction from the own-- er. Most hogs here are sold on the “weighed off car" basis. They are graded by the Government graders before selling, and a grading shoct accompanies each lot. The selling is much the same as for the cattle and the stock yards company deâ€" mands that all gates be locked when under their care, and a slip sigmd when released. Calves and sheep are handled much the same as the other classes of live stock. While ln the unloading pens the calves are inspected by a repreâ€" sentative of the Markets' Branch for bobs or suspected calves, and the doubtful ones are ear tagged and re- ceive final inspection when slaughter- ed on the rail. Co-operatlve ship- ments, of course, necessltate the marking of the animals so there can be pro rated settlement. Thls is best done by ear tagging the calves and the use of paint colors for the sheep and lambs. Cattle that are billed through and stop of! to be fed and watered are looked after by the stock yards com- pany. They are unloaded and driven and locked into pens, fed and water- ed, and then .reloaded to continue their journey. 1d crippled Ltely neces- 19 stock to ts are lookâ€" the stock .55 of stock 1 section in sary to fol- ‘55 of stock this report There are few people indeed, in this world of ours who have never tasted lemonade.

It is hard, we know, for the maker to change the drink each time, but per- haps a few suggestions for varying the popular thirst quencher will not come amiss. “Pepping Up" Lemonade One of the quickest Ways of giving a new delightful flavor is to put a few drops of essence of peppermint into a pitcher of plain-lemonade.
