THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



17 



Marketing Garden Produce 



The conditions under which some vege- 

 table growers display their goods on city 

 markets might be considerably improved 

 with advantage to themselves. Not only 

 are vegetables and fruits shown in great 

 confusion but, in many cases, the market 

 waggons are such as to almost repel pro: 

 spective customers. 



Probably the greatest incentive to pur- 

 chase is the appearance of vegetables m 

 clean and orderly condition, the marKet 

 waggon suitable to its use, and personal 

 cleanliness of the owner. The illustration 

 on page 16 shows a suitable market waggon. 

 It is large, and can accommodate consider- 

 able garden produce, which can be displayed 

 In an attractive and orderly manner. 



As the successful merchant looks to his 

 show windows to attract purchasers, so the 

 successful grower should endeavbr to meet 

 his customers under the most favorable con- 

 ditions. 



The Poultry Yard 



F. C. Elford, Central Experimental Farm, 

 Ottawa 



By January all fpullels should be well ma- 

 tured and a good percentage of eggs being 

 laid. See that the house is free from 

 draughts, that it has plenty of fresh air and 

 sunlight. Give plenty of feed and mix the 

 grain ration in a good heavy litter so as to 

 induce exercise. Watch both the cost of 

 production and the selling end, and know 

 whether the flock is paying or not. If you 

 find that it isn't paying it's your fault; 

 others make the hens pay and pay well; so 

 can you if you use busmess methods. 



Care must be taken that the cost of pro- 

 duction is not too high. The first step to 

 lessen the cost is taken when, we eliminate 

 everything from the breeding stock but thac 

 which has the very best constitution. Adopt 

 system in the poultry work. Give it into 

 the care of some one person, rather than al- 

 low any person (which very often means no 

 person) to be responsible for the plant.
