What 
r  _.  IADA 
has  to  offer  YOU! 
If  your  dream  of  success  seems  like  a  hopeless  ambition, 
if  you  are  discouraged  trying  to  get  ahead  on  high  priced 
land,  if  your  present  location  fails  to  give  you  opportunity, 
there  is  a  new  deal  for  you,  a  new  chance  in  the  fertile,  virgin 
farms  of  Western  Canada,  where  wheat  produces  20  to  40 
bushels  to  the  acre,  where  the  1922  crop  was  biggest  in  history, 
where  oats,  barley  and  hay  and  fodder  crops  are  the  basis  of  a  great 
dairy  industry,  and  a  man’s  work  brings  him  success  and  prosperity. 
Low  Priced  Land — the  Last  Great  West 
In  Western  Canada  you  still  can  buy  virgin  prairie  land  at  $15  to  $20 
per  acre,  on  long  terms  if  desired,  near  to  town,  railroads,  etc. — land  such 
as  has  for  many  years  produced  the  world’s  prize  winning  wheat,  oats,  barley,  flax,  rye, 
alfalfa.  Canada  had  no  “war  time”  land  boom;  prices  are  not  inflated  —  you  get 
in  on  the  ground  floor. 
Taxes  Favor  the  Farmer 
as  Values  Increase 
The  tax  laws  of  Western  Canada  encourage 
the  producing  farmer.  The  tax  on  land  is 
reduced  when  it  is  brought  under  cultiva¬ 
tion-while  on  your  buildings,  machinery, 
improvements,  personal  property,  automo¬ 
bile,  there  is  no  tax  at  all.  A  single  crop  is 
often  worth  more,  acre  for  acre,  than  the 
cost  of  the  land. 
Rent  Now — Buy  Later 
Pay  Out  of  Profits 
Canada  welcomes  the  industrious  settler. 
What  you  have  now  isn’t  so  important.  If 
your  capital  is  small,  or  you  cannot  sell  your 
present  holdings  to  advantage,  rent  a  fertile 
Canadian  farm  and  “try  it  out’’  for  a  season 
or  two.  Make  a  good  living,  increase  your 
capital,  and  buy  later.  Farms  may  be  rented 
from  successful  settlers  on  easy  terms;  in 
some  cases  with  option  of  purchase.

(Buy  on  Exceptional  Terms — 32  Years  to  Pay 
For  the  benefit  of  those  wishing  to  buy  land  a  national  non-profit  sharing  organization— 
the  Canada  Colonization  Association— has  been  established  with  head  office  at  Winnipeg, 
and  United  States  office  at  St.  Paul.  This  Association  offers  selected  land  convenient  to 
railways— much  of  it  at  $15  to  $20  per  acre — on  very  small  cash  payment;  no  further 
Sayment  until  third  year;  balance  extended  over  thirty  years, 
ut  purchaser  may  pay  up  and  obtain  title  at  any  time  if  de¬ 
sired.  Interest  six  percent  per  annum  on  deferred  payments.

THE  HENYARD 
The  Long  Island  Poultry  Contest 
Still  another  egg-laying  contest  is  to  be  re¬ 
corded  at  the  New  York  Institute  of  Applied  Ag¬ 
riculture,  at  Farmingdale,  Long  Island.  Fifty 
pens  of  pullets  and  three  pens  of  ducks  are  being 
tested.  This  is  the  third  year  of  the  test.  The 
first  year  pens  of  20  birds  each  were  established. 
The  second  year  these  pullets,  as  yearly  liens, 
were  used  as  breeders,  and  iu  the  third  year  20 
pullets  from  these  breeding  i>ens  were  again 
tested.  The  plan  is  yery  much  the  same  as  that 
developed  at  Vineland  and  in  Bergen  County. 
New  Jersey.  Long  Island,  being  a  great  duck 
country,  it  was  natural  that  pens  of  ducks 
should  he  entered,  and  the  figures  below  show 
three  such  i»ens.  The  list  given  brings  the  rec¬ 
ord  up  to  Marcli  20,  this  being  Bulletin  No.  19, 
which  corresponds  with  the  bulletin  from  New 
Jersey.  As  will  he  seen  from  the  record  given, 
a  peii  of  Rhode  Island  Reds  leads  the  procession 
to  date  with  1,173  eggs,  which  is  (SO  ahead  of 
the  leading  pen  in  Bergen  County.  The  best  rec¬ 
ord  for  the  single  week  ending  March  13  was 
91,  made  by  a  pen  of  White  Leghorn  pullets.  We 
shall  hereafter  keep  track  of  this  contest  as 
space  'Will  permit.

Poo;  Laying 
Will  you  tell  me  why  my  hens  d>  not 
lay  more  eggs?  I  have  about  300.  S.  C. 
White  Leghorns,  200  Rhode  Island  Reds. 
They  are  all  healthy,  free  from  any  dis¬ 
ease.  The  house  has  a  small  floor  with 
1  ft.  of  straw  (oat)  litter.  It  has  glass 
windows  and  curtain  windows  in  front. 
It  is  not  drafty.  I  feed  them  all  the 
water  and  skim-milk  they  can  drink.  For 
greens  I  give  them  all  the  mangel  wurzel 
they  will  eat.  For  scratch  feed  I  mix 
equal  parts  of  crack  corn,  oats  or  barley 
and  wheat  with  some  sunflower  seeds. 
For  mash  I  use  equal  parts  middlings, 
cornmeal.  gluten,  ground  oats,  10  per  cent 
rolled  oats.  Should  I  use  bran  or  not? 
This  mash  is  before  them  all  the  time. 
For  the  last  week  or  so  I  have  been  giv¬ 
ing  them  this  mash  moistened  .warm  at 
noon,  but  still  it  does  not  help.  In  the 
morning  I  feed  them  about  15  qts.  scratch 
feed,  and  at  night  all  they  can  eat.  which 
is  about  20  qts.  Will  you  tell  me  whether 
to  use  beef  scrap  with  the  skim-milk  be¬ 
fore  them  all  the  time?  J.  B. 
Rhode  Island.  • 
If  hens  have  all  the  skim-milk  that  they 
will  drink,  the  greater  part,  at  least,  of 
the  meat  scrap  may  be  omitted  from  their 
mash,  but  if  you  are  given  water  in  ad¬ 
dition  to  the  milk,  I  presume  that  your 
hems  do  not  drink  enough  of  the  latter  to 
supply  them  with  needed  animal  protein. 
I  would  suggest  that  you  use  equal  parts 
of  cornmeal,  ground  oats,  gluten  feed, 
wheat  middlings  and  wheat  bran  and 
one-half  part  best  meat  scrap.  This, 
with  the  skim-milk.  will.  I  think,  prove  a 
more  stimulating  ration,  though,  of 
course,  any  change  made  now  at  the  be¬ 
ginning  of  the  natural  laying  season  is 
likely  to  get  credit  that  may  not  be  its 
due.  m.  b.  d.
