_I0 is it real problem to hatch strong, husky chicks, but possibly a bigger one is to raise them. Whether or not you willbe successful depends, to a Smal. éxtentf upon the attention you sive to the details. _ _ `

One of the first essentials is to have

a good brooder house. For the average PUUIUY FB-lever it should be of such size and wt-ight. sd that it may be readily moved from one place to an- °ih_¢r..A brooder house ten by twelvo will very nicely take card oi soo chicks and provide plenty of room for the

Tis decrease in our birds is a ser ious menace to thc farmer, though he does not yet recognize it-more's the pity. Man has exterminated many species of birds, and beasts, and even threatcnts the fishes; but since the

single race of insects. And if it had been for his neglected little helpers, the birds, man himself must have giv- en way before the vast fecundity an`:i

This then, is the means ofkeeping

In a previous article a way was laid

I purpose in this article to show how he can still improve at a small emi, namely: by the keeping of records of all the herd over a period of years, .so that the unprofitable cow may be eliminated, and as like begets like, by keeping only the helfers of the

years, increase the revenue from his herd by at least one third, which would be almost clear profit. This cow-testing work is absolutely assen- tial if we are going to build up nigh producing grade and pure bred herds in Prince Edward Island. And, af-

ter all,‘ we should be interested and extremely anxious 'lo improve our herds, because a proper system 01 farming is really dependent on our

the habit, and_ take the smali_ amount of time necessary to keep individual' records. 'rod many low producing cows are~to be' found in the average

herd in f-his Province. andyet a great

If we could have in this Province

twenty percent or one-fifth of our milk cows under systematic test in place oi' about one half of one per ccnt, as at present, I would not doubt for one moment but that the produc- tion of our cows could be increased by onethird in five years. It would mean much to the dairy lndustry in particular. and‘ in every branch of business in the Province. The rev- enues from the farm would be in- crested by many thousands of. dol- lars and it would be accomplished with very little extra expense, be- cause there wouldnot necessarily be any increlsrin the number of dairy cattle kept on each farm.

Splendid results have been accom-

It seems to me that, until our dairy- men organise themsylvca for 'the'pur- pose of Individual cow-testing' with the aim for-better production. this work will never be permanent enough to give the but results.
