Success or fnll ure turns on the care and skill showu dining the hatching period and while the weather In wet and changeable. Wise fanners ami poultry fanciers are not In the habit of neglecting their fowls at any time, but they give tliein extra attention In early spring, uot merely to keep them healthy, but to secure hardy stock and good layers. chickens ore ns sensitive as human beings, and their diseases are much the same. The most common ailments in the poultry yard are colds In their various stages. These have n variety of names, but they result from neglect at time of year when special care Is needed. Itoup, bronchitis, pneumonia and rheumatism are prevalent among fowls at times, and while a majority of tbt alck birds may recover eueh illness la sure to affect the general vitality of the flock. There are many things to be cousldcred along this line. Too many poultrymen do not recog nise the importance of the health and vitality of the breeding stock from which tbey are to aecure their chick ens for future use. Unless the breed ing stock la healthy and vigorous and in the beat of condition satisfaction cannot be secured In the offspring. Ilreed for health and vigor to I suc cessful and keep stock healthy by good care, feeding and bousing, if egga run low In fertility and chicks die In the shell or aoon after hatching do not blame the Incubator too ulckly, but Orst Investigate the conditions nnd surroundings of the breeding stock.

Tbey pick up scut tcivd graiu In the barnyard, feed on grass, weed seed, worms, bugs, grass hoppers and all kinds of insect pests. Tbe stomach of a healthy hen Is a good Judge of the kind of food it reiiulrea to perform Its proper function of aua taliiiug tbe body and promoting egg production.

HbW Yr Wk ' W Farm and Garden i USE OF MECHANICAL SEEDER. Distributes Sssd Mors Evenly and Ef fects Great Saving In Quantity. With clover, alfalfa, sweet clover and nil the grass seeds usually enough seed Is used to the acre for three or four good stands. If every seed took root nnd grew where It fell on the soil there would be so many plants to tbe sipiare yard that none could grow welL They would stand so thickly that they would smother each other to death Where mechanical aeedera are used to distribute the seed uniformly over the surface of the soil much leas seed per acre will be required. By using a mo rhanlcnl seeder for uniform distribu tion and covering the seed mocha ideal ly n saving of fully one-half of the seed can be effected.

"'tli ed harrow after cutting the surface with the disk. Hweet clover Is coming Into general pr.iniinenie nil over the country One reason why more farmers do uot mow It or try It Is that they have been told animals will not eat the growing plants nor the hay It Is true that most farm animals will not eat sweet clover at lii -I. but as sunn as they get a good taste of It and liccome used to It they will eat It as readily as the best corn, clover or alfalfa. Sweet clover should be sown early In lb.- spring It Is a splendid crop to go before alfalfa to Inoculate and enrich the soil. It grows raukly In wet soil and will grow large In aoll too dry for almost any other cultivated plants if used for pasture, unlike alfalfa, stock should be turned on It while the plants are youtig. so they will learn to eat It before it grows old and woody. It la a biennial, like red clover, and will self seed if allowed to form aeed every year. The modern disk drill, of which there are many good makes, la the only good drill to use.

There are three well known ways to kill the l .-.ilea.
