price?” If you are one of these people 
you made a big mistake for it takes just 
twice the money to put hens in condi¬ 
tion than it would have taken in Sep¬ 
tember, and they have been boarding 
with you besides. Our theory is, it is 
not the hen who lays the largest num¬ 
ber of eggs in a year that pays the 
most profit, but the one who lays the 
eggs at the time when they bring the 
most money. 
Can you produce three dozen eggs in 
summer when they bring 30 cents a 
dozen, as cheap as you can produce one 
dozen when they are 90 cents? Perhaps 
you can, but I don’t agree with you. 
We have fifteen full-blood Columbian 
Wyandotte hens, 1921 hatch, that laid 
394 eggs in the last 18 days of Novem¬ 
ber and 31 days of December. These 
eggs sold for over $27 on the market, 
and these hens consumed in that time, 
about $5 worth of feed. But remember 
these hens were in fine condition when 
they went into winter quarters and 
were laying then. 
These hens made a record as pul¬ 
lets and will be in our breeding pens 
this year, headed by a cockerel from 
a very heavy winter laying* strain and 
we hope to raise our record next year. 
It is a great temptation when there is 
a nice warm day and no snow, to let 
the hens run out, but it is a mistake 
and the egg basket will tell you so, 
if you don’t get some colds to doctor 
besides. There is no larger detriment 
to hens than cold feet. I was,in the 
hen house recently, where a part of the 
floor was dirt covered with coal ashes 
and holes cut in the sides of the build¬ 
ing a few inches up from the floor. 
These were covered with wire and 
cloth. I was told in pleasant weather 
the cloth was raised. Now those ashes 
cannot help but be cold and neither can 
there help but be a draft on this floor 
if the curtain is not fastened very tight, 
which it cannot be if it is raised and 
lowered. 
Every day or so I know these hens 
have cold feet. I was told they “do 
not lay” and I am sure they have more 
feed than ours do, some fancy mixed 
feed to be sure, which ours never have. 
The cold has more to do with it than 
the feed. We have gained all our 
methods from years of experience and 
some of it has been expensive too, so we 
are glad to help others and try and 
prevent many costly mistakes. 
A Boost For Wayne County 
{Continued from page 265) 
teams six miles to Palmyra and shipped 
from there by rail, and all of the coal 
used in Marion was drawn by the 
teams on their return trips from' Pal¬ 
myra, But now times have changed. 
Marion is no longer a back number. It 
has a railroad from Marion to Newark 
connected with the Pennsylvania Com¬ 
pany, which handles all the freight and 
furnishes all the cars at all times they 
need and whenever they want them, so 
that the Marion Railway never lacks 
for cats at any time. 
Yes, times have changed in Wayne 
County since I became a subscriber to 
the American Agriculturist, which has 
stood so faithfully by the farmer for a 
prosperous Agricultural, and to-day is 
the nineteen-twenty-three leading farm 
journal of the State. Taxes are more, 
to be sure, but everything comes at a 
price, so, for all of the privileges we 
enjoy now, we pay but little more com¬ 
pared to years ago. 
So, now, I think, Wayne County, with 
her 15 towns, has made some great 
improvements along the lines of agri¬ 
culture by building good rdads and 
good school houses, cleaning up waste 
land and draining the same for use, 
building modern farm buildings, with 
good churches and every other public 
building that goes to make a modern 
and enterprising county. And as long 
as the hills of Wayne stand and the val¬ 
leys produce as bountifully as in the 
past, and with the Barge Canal floating- 
through its center, with our assistant 
Superintendent of Public Works now 
appointed to look after the interest of 
the taxpayers of both parties in the 
county, we can feel assured that no 
public money will be wasted, but that 
results will be produced and that the 
people are ever ready to do their bit in 
any good cause up in Wayne County, 
and ever looking forward for a bounti¬ 
ful harvest and a happy and prosperous 
year.— Frank Manders. Marion, N. Y.

**Last Chance'for 
Virgin Farms 
T hink of what you could produce on a farm of virgin fertility, without the 
burden of high-acreage cost. Think of what 20-to-40 bushel wheat would mean 
to you under these conditions, and of dairying and stock raising on cheap pasture land. 
Land pays for itself in a few crops—no artificial fertilizer—no heavy investment. 
You have envied the farmer who got his start when ’and was cheap. Here’s your 
chance, perhaps your last chance, for the same brand of prosperity. 
Western Canada— 
Your Opportunity! 
Western Canada is the farmer’s land of oppor¬ 
tunity. Thousands of settlers who started not 
many years ago with little or nothing, are today 
the owners of fine farms, with comfortable 
homes and bams, thoro’bred stock, dairy herds 
—all the marks of prosperity. Yet land is not 
dear—only $15 to $20 an acre for rich, virgin, prai¬ 
rie convenient to railways. Land is not dear in 
Western Canada—yet—because there is so much 
of it. But many settlers are expected in 1923, 
and now is your .opportunity, before the best 
farms are taken. Get started. Taxes are re¬ 
duced, not raised, on land brought under culti¬ 
vation, On farm buildings, improvements, 
machinery, personal effects, automobile, etc,, 
there is no tax at all. Canada wants workers— 
it wants its land farmed —and the farmers, 
through their municipal councils, have practical 
control of all local taxation. 
Special Renter’s Plan- 
Buy Out of Profits 
To aid and encourage the honest worker with 
perhaps little capital, the Canadian Government 
has a “Renter’s Plan”, whereby one may work 
a new or improved farm—“Try it out” for sev¬ 
eral years if desired—and buy a farm of his own 
out of profits. 
Thirty-Two Years to Pay 
For the benefit of those wishing to buy land, a 
national non-profit sharing organization — the 
Canada Colonization Association—has been es¬ 
tablished, with head oSice at Winnipeg, and 
United States office at St. Paul. This Associa¬ 
tion offers selected land convenient to railways 
—much of it at $15 to $20 per acre—on very small 
cash payment; no further payment until third 
year; balance extended over thirty years, but 
purchaser may pay up and obtain title at any 
time, if desir^ed. Inter¬ 
est six per cent.
