Farm lands in Southern Alberta are' selling very., rapidly at the present time H a Chicks Must Be Comfortable The Canadian Poultry Journal says ly is ewsier to hateb chieks than it is to raise them. It is easy to raise them if you know their needa, whether it be more or lew ir, more or les¥ exercise, more or less sun-- and constant cleanliness. A woman knows instantly whether or not the chicks are comfortable, so do successful chicken rajy- ing men, The one failing of the woman just starting in to raise chicks ix the desire to feed them every time they give an in- dication that they would tike to have some, She dislikes todeny them. If you ask us why chicks die young, and if we were to an- wer you offhand, we would em First, because they are fed within twenty- four hours after they are hatched. Second, because they are fed too much (not too cften) during the first month of their lives, Third, because they are not warm enoyigh. Fourth, because they do not get enobgh exercise in the fresh air. Fifth, | becatse they do not get ehoagh green food | und grit, Sixth, because they are troubled with lice. In a few words we may advise, supply sufficient heat where the chicks know how to get ati it at all times. Let them out on mother earth as soon as you can, Feed little and often, first deciding how much per day they should be "allowed to eat.

While this will have a marked effect upon convention traffic and means » large lost | of reveriue to the railways und hotels, the action of the association was necessary in order to conserve labor and fuel and inci- dentally place at the disposal of the rail- ways additional motive power for the move ment of foodstuffs and munitions to the see- ard. Some twenty organizations which will hold conventions in Toronto during the next three months made application for con- vention certificates. These organizations represent from eight to ten thousand dele- ates, eighty per cent of whom it is anti cipated will not come unless afforded the advantage of reduced fares. Several orga- nizations intimated to railway officials that if it was not postible to obtain con- ion certificates this summer, the indi- ons were that the number of delegates h instance would be reduced conside. rubly. At present, however, it is somewhat problematical as to the general effect of the order upon conventions. Week-end fares also will be cancelled The same order will apply in the cuxe of cricket, busebsll Iucrosse and all other forms of athletic sports, Iuborers' fares, raftsmen, bargemen, ete., and week-end fares, all of which have been cancelled.
