hens increase from zero to 50 per cent 
in a period of 17 days, “There is a 
reason” as the Postum advertisement 
says. 
My grandson William, whose mother 
lives just over the line fence from my 
barn, has a flock of nearly 300 pullets, 
all in one flock, in an old cow, bam, 
with nothing but kerosene lanterns for 
lights. They laid 4,425 eggs in the 31 
days of January, an average daily yield 
of just about 50 per cent. The reports 
from the egg laying contest at Storrs, 
Conn., show that their 1,000 selected 
pullets are stmggling along between 
34 per cent and 37 per cent. I mention 
this because William’s pullets received 
the same treatment that my last three 
pens had. He cut out meat and milk 
from their mash during the months of 
September and October in order to hold 
them back from laying a lot of small 
eggs, and in November when lights 
were supplied, re-introduced the meat 
and milk as well as some alfalfa meal 
made from exceptionally fine early cut 
alfalfa hay. _ 
TREATING LIVER TROUBLES OF 
POULTRY 
The combs and wattles of our hens and 
roosters turn black. They eat very well, but 
they seem to droop. Several have died. We 
feed them corn, wheat and oats. Would you 
kindly tell us what Is wrong with them and how 
to treat them? — A. B., Chautauqua County, 
N. Y. 
Undoubtedly your birds are affected 
by some liver disease. This is a very 
common complaint of poultrymen. 
These same symptoms are characteris¬ 
tic of blackhead, congesition of the 
lungs^ and pneumonia. However, it is 
questionable if the disease is any other 
tnan that previously mentioned. 
The blacking of. the combs is due to 
the excessive amount of blood that is 
forced into the head resulting from con¬ 
gestion of the liver. A post-mortem 
examination will show that the liver is 
either very dark and enlarged, contain¬ 
ing a large amount of blood, being 
easily crushed due to the abnormal con¬ 
dition of the tissues; or in other cases, 
it may be shown by the more or less 
complete disintegration and degenera¬ 
tion of the liver and accumulation of 
fatty deposits in its place. Very often 
the gall bladder will be observed to 
have become greatly enlarged. 
Liver trouble is due to several fac¬ 
tors, such as lack of exercise; poorly 
balanced ration, carrying too much of 
the carbohydrate elements; or the ac¬ 
cessibility of the birds to semi-decayed 
or mouldy food, which causes an un¬ 
balanced digestive condition. 
A Good Remedy for the Flock 
When the condition of the birds indi¬ 
cates, through the discoloration of the 
head, that the liver is out of condition, 
it has been found most advisable by 
investigators and experienced poultry 
men to administer to the entire flock a 
dose of epsom salt, using about one 
pound to every hundred birds. A per¬ 
fectly balanced mash is placed before 
the birds, to which there has been added 
about 6 per cent of charcoal. Green 
food plays a very important part in 
counteracting liver disorders. Green 
food may consist of cattle beets, 
sprouted oats or cabbage. A very im¬ 
portant phase in the treatment of liver 
troubles is not with the birds. It con¬ 
sists in locating and eliminating the 
cause of the condition and its imme¬ 
diate correction. 
In your specific case, it would be well 
to place before the birds, so that it is 
always accessible to them, a good, re¬ 
liable poultry wash that is well bal¬ 
anced. Although wheat and com are 
good foods, nevertheless they are not 
balanced. It would be a good idea to 
scatter cracked and scratched grains 
in the litter in the morning to give the 
birds an abundance of exercise. The 
last meal should be plenty of whole 
com, so that they can fill their crops 
to capacity. 
Frosted Combs—The fertility of the 
breeding male is often impaired for a 
short time by frosted comb. If a good 
warm pen is not available for the sole 
use of the male birds, let them remain 
with the flock during the cold period 
that precedes the breeding season. 
Protect Hens From Dampness—One 
way to protect the hens from winter 
dampness is to build the cement floor 
of the house on a layer of coarse stones 
six to ten inches thick.

What 
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 opiwrtunity, 
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 virginYprairie 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 
E ayment until third year; balance extended over thirty years, 7/"^^^:;::;-— 
ut purdiaser may pay up and obtain title at any time if de- ^ 
sired. Interest six percent per annum on deferred payments. g
