October is one of the most important months 

 of the year to the iXDultry keeper. Next win- 

 ter's egg supply depends largely on the man- 

 agement of the fowls now. 'I'lie winter (juart- 

 ers should be overhauled and cleaned up. 

 Fresh whitewash should be applied, broken 

 panes of glass should be rejraired and every- 

 thing made ready for occupancy as soon as the 

 frosts and cold autumn nijjhts begin. After 

 house-cleaning, a thorough ins])ection of the 

 birds should be made with a view to weeding 

 out the undefivable stock, as hens ihat are 

 two and a half years old, cockerels not required 

 for next season's breeding, and pullets that 

 are undersized or cull?. 



Keeping fowls of all ages in a single pen at 

 this season is the extreme of bad management. 

 The old male abuses the young males. The 

 young males annoy, constantly, the hens, which 

 in turn injure the young pullets. The result 

 is that the whole flock is in a state of irritation. 

 The writer recently visited a friend who kej)! 

 about 100 birds of all ages under the above 

 conditions. The hens had not laid an egg for 

 the last 2 weeks, and the young cockerels 

 would not put on flesh so that the owner might 

 kill them. 



Prices for dressed ]X)iiltry are better than 

 ever they were in this province, Surplus 

 cockerels that are reasonalily well grown can 

 be jjrofitably marketed now. Such is better 

 than holding them for a month or 6 weeks 

 when their gain in weight will be offset by the 

 lower prices which usually jjrevail at the end 

 of Nov. and beginning of Dec, when the cold 

 weather enables large quantities of dressed 

 birds to be put on the market. 



Judging from the smaller entries than last 

 year at our large exhibitions, it would seem 

 that the hot summer had retarded the growth 

 of the chicks. At Ottawa, the quality and 

 size of the birds exhibited, as well as the num- 

 bers, were somewhat behind that of former 

 shows. 



The keeping of [jure-bred fowl is not as gen- 

 eral in Canada as it ought to be. Our American 

 , cousins are ahead of us in this respect. Every 

 1 in 3 of tlie poultry breeders and farmers in 

 the U.S. kee])S pure-bred fowl. On a trip which 

 took me through 19 states, a short time ago, 

 I formed this estimate, and believe I am cor- 

 rect. On the western coast, the keenest rivalry 

 prevails. Some of the articles in the jxjultry 

 magazines are of the liveliest character. One 

 in particular I think may be worthy of copying. 

 I will include it in another issue. In some 

 parts of Ont. I do not believe 1 in 10 keep pure 

 lireeds. In Que. i)erhaps 1 in 20. The breeds 

 that are most ix>pular in the States are the 

 Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Orpingtons and 

 Leghorns. In the keeping of pure stock.

Canadians can safely follow the example of 

 the Americans, who are usually shrewd business 

 people. 



Many of the readers of The C.vnadian Horti- 

 culturist are keeping fowl either for pleasure 

 or for profit. You will be interested in reading

 Poultry and Kennels Co., of Chatham. They 

 are offering to send the poultry paper which 

 they publish to your home for 2.5 cts. a year.
