POULTRY ASSOC'N REGULAR MEETING (Continued from Page 1) discussed was, how and which is the best way to get the best results in breeding?' In breeding, a careless way of breeding, line breeding and out-crossing, the introduction of new blood, are three methods in breeding. For utility purposes, in- breeding is no good, it intensifies certain good points, but at the same time intensifies faults that eventual- ly make the birds fall down, Line breeding has some advantages ir breeding for cockerels, but not many in pullets, and not for the bulk of layers, as it heightens weak- ness which® will dominate. Mr Walsh, by long experience has won contests in many places by a care- ful system of out-crossing. To do this it is necessary to have high grade cockerels, The best way is to raise your own. In raising these, buy a*dozen or so high grade pullets and trap nest them, If you .get two or three good specimens from these, you should be satisfied. Trap nest these again and you will get the type you desire, In this second generation you will get two or three birds for breeding your own cock- erels which will have the quality you desire, and faith in the quality of them, knowing as you do the breeding behind them. Line breeding can be practised for a certain time when you get into the high class #' breeding, but it is difficult for the small man to practice this. Effects of bad mating show for genera- tions, thus great care should be taken in selection. One cannot be too careful in culling and selection and with these Canada may become as important for high standard poul- try as she is for grain, The housing question is not so difficult, In this the two most im- portant factors are cleanliness and hygene. Red mites are easily dis- posed of by painting the perches two or three times with creasote oil Motor oil is used to some extent but acts for a few weeks only, not per- manently, The main point is to keep the birds dry, As long as the birds are dry, with plenty of clean straw, they will stapd any amount of cold. : Feeding and breeding depend a lot on one another for best results.

The reg. price is 40c to 75c. Miilers' ARCADE PHONE 1000 Bd reg roe 3 X frien results are not up to par ding gets the blame. Two im- portant things are put forward in feeding, the nourishment o the birds and the production of eggs. The average bird consumes 75-90 pounds of food in a year, of which 60-80 percent is consumed for the building up of the body and the re- maining 25-40 percent for egg pro- duction. From this it is easily seen that it is necessary to feed carefully. Today the birds are more or less artificial, and where in the olden days, the wild jungle fowl laid ten to twelve eggs, the modern hen lays 200 eggs a year. Years ago it was thought if the fowl laid in the spring summer nad fall months they were doing fine, but now they are expected to lay in the winter also. To do this the hen must be given artificial means, as she lays many times her own weight in eggs during the seasons of the year. The main diet is mash and grain, and wnere- as some time ago, grain was the principle food, mash now forges to the head, giving by many proofs and demonstrations, much better results, It must be remembered that the hen is like a machine in production and therefore be given something partially digested to aid her. Many kinds of food are required to .nake a Suita mash, The oat basis 1s one the best for mash as it con- tains more vitamines and also ranks high in protein, It is a recognized fact that oats and a few other feeds have the highest vitamines, Some claim that fish meal is one of the best foods in protein, but use it alone and you will get too heavy a toll on the egg organs, which wil eventually cause the hen to fall down in her production, No bird or animal can comfortably digest more than 10-156 percent protein without bad results. In the hens' diet, palatableness is an important factor, some claiming 'the hens like wet mash better than dry, Con- tinuous feeding of wet mash, feels the hens up too quickly and gt. the a tendency to loaf. With dry mash they eat continuously and drink plenty of water, A hen vu. not drink too much water, and the more the better, for an egg is com- posed of 72 percent water. With improper feeding, indigestion and other digestive troubles arise. Too heavy a corn ration gives tubercul- osis. Each time the hen lays she ie endeavoring to reproduce herself and thus it is necessary to build the bird up by proper proteins and car- bo hydrates. In many mashes there is too much bran, for considering it aids digestion only, an overdose causes the bird to lose weight and stop laying. Shorts are a trifle better as they contain slightly more wheat grain. In regard to incubators, there are many varieties and makes and some even made of clay. In Egypt the incubators are all of clay, which are sealed up and the sun allowed to produce the results--which are fair considering the method. The modern way is by supplied heat and a flow of air, The problem of applied moisture is only in its in- itial stages. Investigations con- ducted by Mr. Walsh for the past five years in this line show that from a machine with applied moisture, where the bygrometer reading has been raised from 30 to 50 degrees and gradually decreased during the last week to 45 degrees, one gets bigger and stronger and more chicks and a two pound gain in weight in 100 chicks. If the foundation stock has been carelessly mated--too closely inbred, weak chicks are the product, By adapting the system of out crossing much better results are obtained. It has been proven that during the first week the chick cannot digest any hard matter such as cracked wheat or corn. In wild life the young are fed soft fouds such as worms, but as these are not available in large enough wquanti- ties for chicks, mashes take their place. If both grain and mash ra- tions are tried it will soon be shown that the latter is the better. Dur- ing the first week feed masn ana in the second week a little Qry scratch may be given in the evening, but at this time only. Chicks re- quire oatmeal, cod liver oil, etc., to get the best results. A great many poultry men make the serious mistake of trying to get their pullets to lay too early. Don't try to make your pullets lay until they are mature. For heavy breeds such as Rocks, ete., from six to sev. en months are required while in the lighter breeds from six to six and a half months suffice, and should, in the lighter class weigh from four to four and a half pounds. Years ago the average leghorn used to weigh about three and a half pounds, but the eggs were small. Best results are obtained from birds that have been allowed time in which to devel- ope properly. In many cases it is foolish to con- sider the difference between the high and low cost of food. If su- perior products can be obtained on higher priced feed, it is the cheap- er in the long run, and in consider- ing your feeding, remember that it is the cost of production that counts, and not the initial cost of your feed."

With mild weather prevailing all day, the ice was heavy and the re- sult was that very little combina- tion was put into effect. The Knox boys were out to win and gave the Ohristians the battle of their lives to score the counter they did. Park- er was certainly a strong part of his team, and with the assistance he got from Service and 'Hamlyn they presented a tough proposition. On the other hand the Christian, Chap- man-Waddell defence was no mean combination, and while the forward line of both outfits tore back and forth, both defences sifted the rub- ber from the goal getters, Northey became the Christian hero when in the first session he raced away from a scramble to bat the rubber by Parker for the winning ringer. This seemed to be the same's allot- ment of scores for either team and although some clever stickwork was shown neither outfit came a- cross with a counter, for the rest of the match, Not only did the boys try hard to count but they seemed to develop a blood thirsty taste be- sides, that kept them continually trying to lay off half of the other crew. This, however, failed and the only thing they did was to visit the fence. Line up: Knox--goal, Parker; defence, Service, Hamlyn; centre, Grigg; wings, Hubbell, Smith; subs, Dun- lop, McIntosh, Christian--goal, Gray; Chapman, Waddell; centre, North- ey; wings, Anderson, Tyrell; subs, Hearst. Referee, Les. Atkinson. In the: second match St. An- drew's blanked the South Oshawans in a juvenile match 2-0. With the dauntless "Casey'" Luke in goal and the HubbellThompson sifting ma- chine in front of him, what is to be wondered at. Very little combina- tion was worked off in this match and the sticky going made gcoring difficult. In the first session Mac- Inally handled everything that came his way, (and plenty did) with ease, Both Snowden and Russell worked hard, with Snowden show- ing up to advantage. Spencer as usual flashed up and down the ar- ena, with little success, however, for his splendid work. Probably the most outstanding player was Authors, the tiny centre man. Some real stick work was shown .by Au- thors in the first session and he kept the Saints' forwards guessing, while Gibson came across with his hard checking barrage that caused much havociamong the Saints' rush- es. On 'the Saints' ferward line both Young: and Knight figured in the scoring while only hard luck kept Morrigout, as he earned several counters. - No score was registered in the firstugession although the play stacked up 'a trifle in favor of the Saints, In" the final session Knight opened the score sheet 'by laying one 'by MacInally' on a pass from Thomsen. Xoung looking around for his share of glory saw his chance" in Spencer. Darting in on Spencer as he circled his net he snatched the rubber. away from Spencer and sizzled it into the South- erner"s twine. With a two goal lead the Saints were sitting pretty and knew it. Nothing daunted the gamey Southern dads put every last kick they had into the old game to the final wiggle, and the bell found them still strugsling to count. Line up: South Oshawa--goal, Macinally; defence, Snowden, Russell; centre, Authors; wings, Gibson, Spencer; subs, Downs, Vickery, Myles. St. Andrew's--goal, Luke; de- fence, Thomson, Hubbell; centre, Young; wings, Knight, Morris; subs, R. Luke. Referee, Les Atkinson. St. Georse's Seniors added an- other notch to their belt when they defeated the Christian Seniors 1-0. Both goalMles were given all that was good for their health in the line of pucks, and but for the mar- vellous luck Goodall carried in the first session, the rubber should have drifted through. The first period was if anything in favor of the Christians even though the score says different. The Christian forward line slipped by the Saints' defence more than once and only bad shooting and the good guarding by Goodall saved the Saints. Fot the Saints, Les Atkinson and Smith showed up well and were pretty well matched by their mates. El- liott and Kennedy upheld their share with their usual brand of hockey. Both Littles, especially Wes, who's one of the most dan- gerous men around nets in the church league, came across with some pretty stick work and check- ing. With about two seconds to go in the first period, Les Atkinson jumped through after a scramble, for the only counter of the game. For the remainder of the game the puck was given a merry ride from end to end. Anderson and Crouse gave Elliott valuable assistance in clearing the numerous shots on El- liott that were poured in by Livesay, F. Atkinson and McWilliains. Both Rutherford and Rice checked hard and needed to the way the Saints kept coming back for amother goal. F. Atkinson deserved a counter in the second session when he cleared the works to get within a few feet and then miss the net. For the final session the Christians crowded their rivals pretty hard and played with four men up practically the whole session but to no avail. . Line-up-- Christians--Goal, C. Elliott; de- fence, E. Anderson, Crouse; centre, T. Elliott; wings, Rutherford, Ken- nedy; subs., Rice, Little Bros. St. Georze's--Goal, Goodall; de- fence, McWilliams, F. Atkinson; centre, L. Atkinson; wings, A. Liv- say, Smith; subs., Lowelock, Hux- table. Referee--A. Corrin. To conclude the evening's per- formance the Christian 'Juveniles |at defeated the Silcoe Juveniles 3-2. defence, Wes, Little was the siar of the] Four Church League Teams | Battle in Close Contests| 'match, popping in all three of this team's goals. Love stepped right up behind him with two. Peterson deserves much credit for the man- ner in which he worked to score, and although he didn't score, both he and Evans figured largely in the scoring. Wes Little with McMullen were a nerve wracking pair on the "Mets" outfit and both came in for some hard checking. {Up 'to the end of the first session the teams stacked up pretty evenly and the rubber refused to be enticed into either net, With about one second to go Little rifled the rubber from the boards, on the goal line by Shel- enkoff. To open the second period Little again slipped the disc past Shellenkoff and Found looked pretty glum on the fence. When Love, picking up the puck on the defence line after a gallant rush by Evans, beat Wilkinson, Found was so over- joyed he climbed to the ice and executed a war dance all his own. Shortly after Love counted again, this time by his lonesome . Excite- ment moved up about six notches and both teams gritted their teeth and did considerable harm to Mr. Bradley's ice in their desperate en- deavours to count, Both sifting machines on the defences were go- ing to capacity and for the next few minutes it was anyone's match with the rubber shifting back and forth. That "Little" scoring fiend was the boy that turned the trick when he came out of a scramble with the disc, (as he usually does), and after picking a nice soft spot in the "Mets" mesh, rested the rub- ber for the winning counter, Line-up-- Simcoe--Goal, Shelenkoff; defence Morison, Richards; centre, Love; wings, Evans, Peterson; subs., Coak- well, Johnston, Short. Christian--®Goal, Wilkinson; de- fence, Gray, Chapman; centre, Wes Little; wings, Leyden, McMullen; subs., Hewlett, Referee---A. Corrin.
