Egg Settings Need To
Be Tested
TO ALLOW a btoody hen to Bit on
infertile egi;s is not an economical
practice, 'i .ie eggs should be test
ed, and all infertile ones removed. By
romoving the infertile eggs those re
maining will have a better cbance of
hatching, since there is not the danger
of chilling. To leave infertile eggs in
the nest endangers those containing Jive
chicks. As incubation progresses, the
shell of the infertile egg becomes more
and more rotten, and there is danger of
the infertile eggs becoming broken and
the contents closing the pores of the
fertile eggs, which if the coating is
complete, results in the death of the
chick.
In setting bens it is a good practice
to set at least five hens at a time.
When tha eggs are tested on the
sevei tti day, tho chances are that suffi
cient infertile eggs will be found that
all the fertile eggs can be given to four,
heus and one of the heca re-sot.

Keep Nests Clean Is
Poultry Advice
Three Good Rules
For Feeding
MANY a keeper of poultry has had
occasion to regret not being care
ful enough about the nest where
the birds lay and where they hatch their
broods.
On farms where poultry are neglected
it is safe to assume that the nests arc
worse neglected than my other feature
of the poultry establishment. In the
majority of neglected flocks it will
doubtless be found that n-.ites are pres
ent. In fact, we have found it a com
mon sentiment among farmers that all
flocks have mites. The presence of
mites in the poultry house means that
they are enormously abundant in the
nests, where they hide under the nest
material.
When some nestB are lifted up it is
found that the under part of the straw
1b alive with these very small ma
rauders. Think of hens trying to Btay
long enough on such nests to deposit
ggs but, what is worse, think of hens
trying to hatch out broods with these
parasites attacking them nightly.
Where mites are present the nests
mast be cleaned out every few days
and the old material burned. Also the
nests boxes should have the eracks fill
ed up to prevent the mites from finding
a hiding place. One of the very good
atcrials to use for this purpose is what
If called "tar" in the East and
pitch" in the West. It is the kind
ased on the hulls and rigging of vessels
end is not tbe eoal tar so commonly
ajed for various purposes.
Tbe pitch ii solid and easily fills
rp tbe cracks and all apertures and
Vill last forever. It can usually be pur
chased in small quantities and will be
found oaWal U have about.
IriS NOT PRACTICAL to spend the
time necessary under ordinary con
ditions to figure out an extra ra
tion for each . individual cow. It is
practicable, however, to make a mix
ture of grains and other concentrates
and to feed each cow from thin grain
mixture in proportion to her daily milk
yield, and then to give her all the
roughage she will eat up clean, and be
reasonably sure that she has had all
the food she needs to produce milk to
tbe limit of her ability under ordi
nary conditions. The following rules
of feeding are suggested by tbe
Pennsylvania station:
1. Peed grain in proportion to milk
yield, that is, give her, for example
one pound of grain mixturo a day for
each three or four pounds of milk pro
duced in one day.
2. Feed all the roughage that the
cow will eat up clean, np to the point
where she gains too much weight.
3. Whenever she becomes too fat, re
duce the amount of roughage, leaving
the amount of grain to be determined
by the milk yield.
When a cow leaves uneaten either
grain or roughago which is free from
mold, dirt or foreign material, it
should be removed immediately, the
manger swept clean and a much small
er amount given until her appetite re
turns, as evidenced by the cleaning np
of her manger.
Keep the sheep's fleece clean and free
from bnrs if you wish to get the top
price of tbe market for your wool.

Until April 1 she was Hiss Margaret

They went to Honolulu for a honeymoon,
