In a letter to The Horticitlturist recently, 

 Mr. W. D. A. Ross, manager of the Chalham 

 Fruit Growers' Ass'n, discussed the benefits to 

 be derived by forming a stock company. For 

 the past four seasons this organization has been 

 very successful in handling the fruit crops of 

 its members. 



"We had no warehouse," wrote Mr. Ross, 

 "and wished to raise atx)Ut S-5,00(J for the pur- 

 pose of buying a site and putting up a building 

 large enough to accommodate our business, 

 which has largely increased in the Ia.st four 

 years. We incorporated under the Cooperative 

 Cold Storage Act, and are disposing of 200 

 shares at $2.5 each to raise necessary funds. 

 Tlie stock can be held only by fruit growers, 

 and no one can hold more than 10 shares. Every 

 member must hold at least one share. The 

 management remains the same as it was. We 

 simply incorporated without any other change, 

 and with scarcely an exception the members 

 have taken from 1 to 10 shares. 



"We expect to make dividends by uang our 

 own culls instead of handing them over to an 

 evaporator, and by handling fruit from out- 

 siders. At the modest capital we are raising 

 it will not require a great deal to give a sub- 

 stantial dividend. We have purchased another 

 power sprayer, and will keep two in full opera- 

 tion if the crop prospects warrant us in doing 

 so. We have secured a verj' good site, and in- 

 tend building at once if there is a prospect of 

 a fair crop."

To be successful in hatching chicks either by 

 natural or by artificial incubation strict carie 

 must to taken to start aright with the eggs. 

 All the careful supervision and perfection of 

 detail will count for nothing unless the eggs 

 are well fertilized and contain healthy, normal 

 germs. Nowadays, when the pure-breeds have 

 pretty generally taken the place of the mon- 

 grel, more intelligence is given to the proper 

 mating of the breeding pens and it is possible 

 to get eggs, at a reasonable figure, from pens 

 so mated. 



For utility purposes the male should not be 

 related to the females. Such relation impairs 

 the vigor of the progeny. This will be shown 

 by the germs developing until the 14th da\ 

 and then dying. The majority of those whi< 

 mature will be undersized. It is well, before 

 purchasing from any breeder, to ask for infor- 

 mation on those points. 



CARE OF THE CHICKS 



In May, after the chicks are 12 hrs. old, pla< • 

 them with the hen in a coop at least 2 x 2 x , 

 ft. with slatted front 2 in. between slats. Paint 

 inside of the coop with coal oil or liquid lice 

 exterminator an hour or two before placing 

 in the hen. The latter should be dusted with 

 insect powder. Give the hen a good meal 

 before placing her in the coop, and she will 1 

 less fussy in her new quarters. The floor i 

 the coop should be sprinkled with dry sand, 

 coarse sand preferred. Add chick grit, fine 

 ground oyster shells, or broken egg shells. This 

 provides the chicks with gizzard material, and 

 prevents bowel trouble. 



The best position for the coop is on the south 

 side of a building or fence. I arrange my own 

 at the back of the lawn, and the chicks have 

 the benefit of running over and picking at the 

 tender grass shoots. The coop should never 

 be placed, nor the chicks fed, with the old 

 fowl, for the other hens ^vill fight the mother 

 hen and trample and pick, sometimes fatally, 

 the chicks. The coop should be rainproof, and 

 on very cold nights may be protected with
