Seventh Successive 

 Bumper Harvest in 

 Western Canada! 



All sorts of stories have been circulated about 

 crop conditions in Western Canada this year.

the Seventh Bumper Crop is now being thieshed. The 

 Wheat average is about 30 bushels of No. 1 Hard to 

 the acre. How does this compare with crop conditions 

 in your district? We want to show you that we have 

 the goods. Come up and see for yourself and bring 

 some anti-Canadian croaker with you. He'll soon 

 become an enthusiast. 



We own immense areas in the Last Mountain Val- 

 leyDistrict. We sell this land at from $10.00 to #20.00 

 per acre, and on terms such as will make the land pay 

 for itself under cultivation, ->

The Right Way to Pick and 

 Pack Poultry 



' I S HE choicest poultry may be spoiled 

 *- easily by careless or inexperienced 

 pickers, or by improper packing so that all 

 chance of high prices is destroyed. Aim to 

 dress poultry so that they will be attractive 

 and pack them in such a manner that the 

 good points are first brought to view when 

 the package is opened. 



Learn just what the special needs are of 

 the market you purpose to supply. If it 

 has any special whims, humor them, for it 

 pays. Some markets prefer dry picked 

 birds, while others want them scalded. In 

 general, Eastern cities prefer the former, 

 and Western cities the latter. 



In dry picking, a great deal depends upon 

 the sticking. In many localities where mar- 

 ket poultry growing is largely carried on, 

 there are expert pickers who make this a 

 regular business. Where one of these can 

 be found, it will pay the beginner to employ 

 him because of the superior condition in 

 which the birds can be made ready for the 

 market, and for the knowledge that may be 

 gained from him. 



THE BEST WAY TO PICK 



Some of the experts hang the birds by the 

 legs while sticking and picking, while others 

 sit down, and hold the bird. The former 

 plan will probably be best for the beginner. 

 Do not feed the birds for at least twenty-four 

 hours before killing. Give plenty of water. 

 If dry picking, kill one bird at a time. Have 

 a noosed cord hung against a wall at about 

 the height of the shoulders of the picker. 

 Slip the bird's legs through this noose. Take 

 the head in the left hand, draw it down and 

 open the bill. With a small sharp knife like 

 a pen-knife, inserted into the throat, by a 

 couple of quick motions up and down, the 

 large arteries at the side of the neck are 

 severed. Now with the knife pointing to the 

 roof of the mouth on a line with the eye, 

 thrust the knife through into the base of the 

 brain, and give a half turn to the blade. 

 This renders the bird insensible. If well 

 done, the feathers loosen, and may be taken 

 off with a few strokes. Grasp the wings 

 with the left hand, removing the feathers 

 with the right. Remove all the tail feathers 

 with one twisting motion. Pass the hand 

 down the back, removing all the feathers 

 with one motion. Then shifting the bird 

 to the righ hand, with one stroke of the left, 

 remove the feathers on the under side of the 

 bird. Then strip the feathers from the sides,
