The value of a flock oi pulleta ior e8! laying purposes depends very sreatly on the conditions under which it was reared. No matter how highly a chick is bred ior eggpro- ’ ’ . unless it is reared in sanitary curroundings, it cannot be expected to produce in rccordance its ancestry. As the number oi hens increases, the menace oi polluted [Jound forces lt- self upon the attention oi poultry- men.

Polluted groImd means s. heavy chick loss from coccldiosis, bacterial and parasitic troubles, but a greater loss will be sustained when/the pul- lets go into winter quarters, either from reduced egg production or from mortality brought about by internal parasites. '

During the past tour years the ex- amination oi specimens sent in t0 the Cen ral Experimental Farm, Ottawa. has ed t0 ‘the belief that polluted ground is responsible for a loss in poultry flocks oi about 20 percent. Until poltrymen recognize the menace, this tremendous drain on the industry will continue.

The ideal is to give chickens a place in the rotation similar to any other crop on the farm: but since in the great majority of’ cases this can- not well be done, the barn yard and

any odd corners should be plowed every every other year. to bury the parasites and

furnish a clean surface for feeding. When poultry farmers come to realize this need for cleanliness- great shall be their reward.

CLEAN RANGE FOR CHICK! ‘mineral constituents which enter

into the tissue of the animal body is lime_ (calcium.) says Dr. Frank '1‘.

Bhutt, Dominion Chemist. It is found in small traces in the muscle, and the blood stream‘, the teeth are largely composed of its compounds. and the

skeleton depends for its rigidity up- on lime phosphate, The average bone content is 50 '7; phosphate oi lime.

When the skeleton oi an animal is being built up, both pre-natally and irom birth t. maturity, the diet cannot be deficient in calcium, or both mother and young must suffer. 1t has been calculated that a. pre- gnanVcow should have at least 033% calcium in her ration to build the skeletal structure in her growing calf. This i1 she receives 25 lbs dry matter daily, this should contain 0.1 pounds calcium.

Swine suffer more from lack o!

calcium than any other animal. Pro- *

ducing twolittersper year, there is a great demand upon.the mineral supply of the mother, body: and in the ofiort to keep down the fibre con- tents of their ration, particularly for young pigs, they are ied largely on cereals and their products such as mlddiings, which have a low calcium content. -

Attention may be called to a. class oi what may be called mineral mat- ter concentrates; meat and bone meal, bone meal. and tankage In

bone meal the calcium aproximatci

55%. Meat meal and meat scraps possess between l0 and 20 per cent of phosphate oi lime.

‘The following analysis of a num- ber oi ieeds, giving the percentage oi calcium contents may be enlight- ening:

Corn, 0.02%; Barley, 0.02%; Oats, 0.08%;

Bran, 013%; Cottonseed meal, » 0.24%: Oil Cake. 0.35%. ‘rimothy, 0.39%; Turnips, 081%;

Red Clover, 1.70%; Alialia, 2.15%. In summer, particularly i! the pas-

bability is that the animals will pro-

_atch Your Foxes Summer Diet

The summer diet is a most important one, great care

should be exercised in selecting the proper foods. Meat

A feeds should be reduced-to a minimum and supplemented

‘ ' _ by cereals and vegetables. IMPERIAL FOX BISCUITS ~ - . fed dry and IMPERIAL PUPPY FOOD with milk added ‘ make the ideal summer cereal ration for both adults and

pups.

These two highly nourishing foods ensure a bal-

anced ration together with an (abundance of minerals and most valuable VitaminesQIMPERIAL FOODS keep the foxes in good flesh and make them generally healthy and active. IMPERIAL eliminates premature shedding generally caused by excessive meat feeding or an unbal anced diet, and make for better pelts when prime.

Always keep a good supply of IMPERIALS on hand,
