The St. Louis University at St. Louis, Mo., 

 was perhaps the first among educational in- 

 stitutions to broadcast market reports by 

 wireless. Others followed. The Minnesota 

 College of Agricultura has assigned an ex- 

 tension representative to instruct the farm- 

 ers in the use of wireless receiving appara- 

 tus. The College of Agriclilture of Cornell 

 University has assigned an expert for 

 similar work, and to assist rural radio clubs 

 that are being organized in New York.

I GRADED and CULLED | 



FOR the first time in the history of On- 

 tario, the fruit industry was mentioned 

 in the Speech from the Tirone 

 by His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor. 

 Speaking of the Department of Agriculture, 

 reference was made to the success that 

 had attended the efforts of co-operative 

 companies to stimulate and revive the fruit 

 industry. His Honor predicted that co- 

 operative marketing would be the power 

 that would elevate agriculture, in all its 

 branches, to the high place which it 

 should occupy as the fundamental industry 

 of the province. 



A meeting of the Forest Fruit Growers' 

 Association was keld at Forest, Ont., on 

 Feb. 21, and was a decided success. The 

 chair was occupied by Vice-president A. J. 

 Clark. The feature address was given by 

 Prof. L. Ceasar, O.A.C., Guelph, on various 

 aspects of fruit culture. 



by wallowing in soil. For this reason 

 every poultry house should be provided with 

 a dust box. 



After the eighteenth day do not open 

 the Incubator door until the chickens are 

 hatched. 



, If possible, locate the brooders on ground 

 that has recently been cultivated, thereby 

 eliminating the danger of tainted soil and 

 possible disease. 



Eggs from hens that have made a fair 

 showing in laying this winter will be more 

 fertile than those that did heavy laying. 



If you have windows in the hen house, 

 keep them clean, as the hens need all the 

 sunlight they can get these days. 



The value of skim-milk as a feed for 

 poultry cannot well be overestimated. It 

 not only has a high nutritive value, but 

 keeps the digestive tract in sharp, clean 

 condition. 



FOR SALE and WANT ADS 



Advertisements in this department 

 inserted at the rate of 5 cents per 

 word. Each word, initial or group 

 of figures counts as one word. 

 Minimum 50 cents cash, strictly 

 in advance. 



A press despatch a few weeks ago from 

 Buenos Aires stated that the Argentine Re- 

 public was desirous of supplying the United 

 States with fresh fruits and vegetables in 

 winter.' A sample consignment, consisting 

 of five tons of selected peaches, plums and 

 grapes, was being shipped. The seasons 

 south ot the equator being directly the re- 

 verse ot those north, it was thought that 

 some reciprocal trade arrangement might 

 be made accordingly. 



{..POINTERS on POULTRY j 



FOWLS for breeding purposes should 

 be strong, healthy, vigorous birds. The 

 comb, face, and wattles should be of a 

 bright-red color, eyes bright and fairly 

 prominent, head comparatively broad and 

 short and not long or crow-shaped, legs 

 set well apart and straight, plumage clean 

 and smooth. 



Prepare now for a good crop ot chickens. 



Hatch early— avoid lata summer stock. 



Early winter layers snculd be out of 

 the shell early. 



A pullet hatched now is worth three in 

 June. V 



Darken the Incubator to keep chicks 

 quiet and induce sleep. 



Remove chicks from the Incubator when 

 all are dry and do not feed for 36 hours. 



Keep hens free from lice and the house 

 tree from mites. 



Chickens never wash, as many other 

 I birds do, but cleanse themselves of insects
