as they had not been advertised for sale nor had the intending pur- chaser advertised his wants, both parties missed a chance to do busl-- ness which would have benifited both. -

From the above it would seem that a more extended scheme of ad vertising on the part of breeders who are either in need of or wish to dispose of stock would be profit-t able for all parties concerned. This advertisement need not be expen- sive. A small notice in the proper column of the local papers or in one of the farm papers which is popular- in the district would serve the de-l sired purpose quite adequately. If the number and quality of the ani- mals warrant it, a larger advertise- ment with an illustration would be in order.

Advertising is of course of pati- cular value in disposing of breed- ing stock or animals not in fit con- dition for sale on the regular mar- ket. The writer has in mind one particular class of stock namely, aged pure bred dairy bulls of good duality and known to be breeding good stock. Many of these find their when it would be much to the ad- way to the butchers every year vantage of the breed as well as to the farmers disposing of them and lucky enough to get them. if they! were kept. for further years of ser- vice.

GEORGE WJVIUIR, Animal Husbandman YOU CAN RAISE WHITE HOLLAND TURKEY'S

By J. C. Bailey, Dennison Station, B. C,

1N0 other bird brings‘ forth thoughts of Yuletide more than tines the turkey. In all Anglo. Saxon countries, the ideal or nu llllsflfls at Christmas is to have turkey on the table.

111 my Oltlllion there is nothing 110 illylieh as a well dfvctloped Wlhlte Holland, with its pure white plumage, pink shanks and loot. and bright red head. A hand- wmnr .or more sta-tely bird is not to be found in the poultry yard. They recommend themselves to the turkey raiser by the following qualities: -

1. They are the most thorough- ly domesticated and. stand con- f’ ‘ bettetrlthan any other variery. therefore they are best suited to the purpose 0f those who want to raise turkeys yet do not have extensive range. ~

3- Tllny are of a very‘gentio "llivnsltion and make excellent mothers. l Especially is this true of the sec- ond ciutch. for whereas the other breeds lay from twelve to thirteen eggs the White Holland lays from fif-teen to seventeen. ..

Q. They are lnn texcctrlitionelly fine table bird. Tile flesh is white and of a delicate flavor.

5. The size of the breed com- monds it to the average family. The weight of a full grown tom is from twenty-four to twenty-six pounds and that of a hen from fourteen to sixteen pounds.

Be veny careful in selecting breeding stock. select from _four to eight yearling hens‘ with straight breast bones, long backs,» broad deep breasts. good piunago and all around shape. Place theml with a lclrge heavy boned, vigor- ous young tom. This is the besll mating you can get. to produce u larger por cent. of fertile eggs end hatch large boned vigorous poultte. I think that a large per cent. of the loss is due to the par- ent stock. Aim to keep breeders that are show birds end at the same. time execellen‘ mothers. When you find a good breeder keep it as long as it lives‘. for f t-hlnk thncthey are never too old. Very heavy specimens are notpro- iific breders and stock wclghinl

THE CAsH VALUE OF A PEDI- REE

llEarperlmentfal farm's, Note.) All animals have a pedigree‘ of some sort whether pure-bred or srcub. Only the pure-bred animals have their pedigree registered and ‘have pedigree certificates issued. A pedigree is valuable only when it proves some fact that is worth while about an animal, either fav- ouro/hle or otherwise. We frequent- ly hear comments of some such nature as ‘l1 do not care about the papers it ls the cow Iwant." Speak- ing broadly that may be good busi- ‘ness for the butcher but the real stock breeder is paying more at- tention to pedigree than ever be- fore and we often hear him say “that is a beautiful individual but l do not like her breeding.“

The man who athched the most value to a pedigree is the one who knows the most about its true value. The pedigree student niay learn of a cow that has had a bril-

' liant show-ring career. She may be

particularly pleasing to the eye in type, form and conformation. He studies her pedigree and finds that she has sprung from an stors that were of little value d immed- iately decides to let her alone. re- garding her a freak. On the other hand he may find a cow that is not a particularly fine individual in typo but be tudles her pedigree and finds tha she has for ances- tors some of the very best animals of the breed. He decides to buy the cow doing so on what he knows about her ancestors. He has made use of the pedigree to select a cow but he has not, as so many are inclined, to state, paid a big figure for papers.

Pedigree does not make value, it decides value by establishing

hacked by several generations of good Producers is much more liable to be the dam of producers than the cow whose dam only, of all an- cestors ie a producer. not of course hold true. Just as we frequently flnd a good individual with a poor line of ancestors so do we find poor lindividuals with strong ancestors. Like, as a general of variation is also felt. Tile pedigree student studies these laws and ,draws his conclusion.

breeding herd two things are kept in mind, first the value of the cow for what, milk she will produce and Emfmdly. the effect she will have "D011 the future of the herd. A S0011 Judge of dairy cattle can esti- mate closely her value as a milk producer but her worth as a herd llnhrovcr must be determined chiefly bl‘ pedigree.

ind-ividuail merit is very import. ant and should not he overlooked. yet it must not be the main decid- ing point.

Turkey raising has always been looked upon us a hard trick to learn. du to a lwrunr myth to the effect the. he urkey is a dellcae fowl which can seldom he brought through the Vtlriorug stages to ma- turity. j

I for one knows that the tur- key is not u delicate fowl, that it can be raised on any farm in the country successfully and at a.good profit. It is true that the turkey differs materially from any other fowl and often does not thrive, largely because the farmer has tried to npply principles applicable ,to other fowln to l-t, which will seldom succerr‘. The turkey is a

Turkev hone an thol llgylng gen. "filly in Ann-II. The eggs are gathered often in order to prevent chilling and are preferably setun- der hens. although they nmy be ilatchcd in any good incubator. Un- lellll you are an experienced incu- bator operator it is beet not to-ex- Dari-ment. as ' theturkey eggs "are too valuable for this.

The eggs hatch in four weeks. It is best not to set the bur-hey h9g5 but to induce them to lay a second clutch of eggs‘ in order to incubate that many more. One hen may be allowed lo set in order that she can brood or lead the whole flock or youngstehs.
