HATCHING AND MARKETING HEN'S EGGS (Prepared by tho United States Depart' went of Agriculture.) Tbe period of time It takes to batch eggs of the domestic hen is 21 days, according to Farmers' bulletin 662 of the department of agriculture. There are two methods of Incubation and brooding, namely, natural and artifi cial. In natural Incubation and brood ing the hen Is allowed to sit on a nest of eggs and brood or mother the young cbicks when hatched. Tbe In formation contained on this subject Is based on the belief that tbe average farmer has little use for ao Incubator or brooder unless be Intends to hatch and rear chicks unusually early In the spring or In large numbers; therefore only tbe natural method of Incuba tion and brooding will receive atten tion at this time. As the time approaches for the hens to become broody or sit, If care Is taken to look in the nests It will be seen that there are a lew soft downy feathers being left there by the bens; also, the hens stay longer on the nests when laying at this time, and on being approached will quite likely remain on tbe nest, ruffling their feathers and pecking at the Intruder. When It Is noted that a hen sits on the nest for two or three rights In succession, she Brooder In Use st United State Ex periment Farm, Beltsville, Md. Is ready to be transferred to a nest which should be prepared for her be forehand. This neat should be lu a lux and composed of straw, hay, or chaff for nesting material. Pack this material down llrmly mid shape a cir cular nest out of it which should be slightly do. ner In the center than at tbe edges, aa a neat so shaped will prevent the egg from rolling out from under the hen and becoming chilled. Dust the hen thoroughly with insect powder. In applying the powder, bold tbe hen by the feet, head down, work lug the powder well Into the feathers, giving special attention tj regions around the vent and under the wings. The powder should also be sprinkled In the nest. The nest should be in some quiet, out-of-the-way plnce on tbe farm, where the sitting hen will not be disturbed. Move ber from the regular laying nest at night. Handle ber carefully In doing ao. Put a china egg or two In the nest where she Is to sit, and place a board over the opening so that she can not get off. Toward evening of the second day, qui etly go in where she Is sitting, and leave some feed and water, and re move the board from the front or top of the nest, and let the hen come off when she Is ready. Should she re turn to tbe nest after feeding, remove the china egg or eggs and put under those that are to be Incubated. In cool weather It Is best to put not more than ten eggs under a ben, while later In the spring one can put 12 to 15 according to tbe size of the hen.. It several hens are sitting In the same room, see that they are kept on tbe nests, only allowing them to come off Reviving Old Orchard. An unfruitful orchard may often be brought into bearing by a good appli cation of stable manure. Now is a good time to apply it. Good Horses In Demand. It Is well to remember that there are ten buyers for b--nes worth 1200 and upward to one that la worth 1100 or less. Isolste Ailing Fowls. All sick fowls should be Isolated Immediately or Infection may be car ried thrqugh the entire flock. Increase Msst Output Tbe output of meat on tbe average farm can be Increased by the pre vention of waste. WaUr for Cows. Be sure that your cows are provided with plenty of fresh water at all times. Sprouted oata make fine feed In winter. poultry ';", i n . :' . to get feed- and water, which should be once a dsy. Many eggs that are laid In tbe late winter and early spring are Infertile. For thla reason It is advisable to set several hens at tbe same time. After the eggs have been under tbe ben for seven daya they should be tested to see whether they are fertile or infer tile. Infertile eggs should be re moved and used at home in cooking or for omelata, and the fertile eggs should be put back under the ben. For example; Thirty egga are set un der three bens at the same time, ten under each. At tbe end of seven daya we find on testing the eggs that ten are Infertile, which leaves us 20 eggs to reset, which we da by putting tbem under two bens and have tbe remain ing one to set over again after she bas set only seven days. A good home-made egg tester or can dle can be made from a large shoe box or any box that Is large enough to go over a lamp by removing an end and cutting a hole a little larger than the alze of a quarter In tbe bottom of the box, so that when It Is sot over a common kerosene lamp the bole In the bottor will be opposite tbe blaze. A bole tbe size of a silver dollar should be cut In tho top of tbe box to allow the heat to escape. An Infertile egg, when held before tho small hole with tho lamp lighted Inside the box, will look perfectly clear, the same as a fresh 0110, while a fertile egg will show a small dark spot, known as the em bryo, with a mars of little blood veins extending in all directions If the em bryo Is living. If dead, If the egg bas been Incubated for at least 36 hours, the bluod sottlcs away from the em bryo toward the edges of tbe yolk, forming In some cases an Irregular cir cle of blood, known as a blood ring. Eggs vary In this respect, some show ing only a streak of blood. Tbe test ing should be done In a dark room. Proper Methods of Marketing Eggs. When ready to sell tbe eggs grade them according to site and color and put them Into the following classes, Is the advice contained In farmers' bul letin Dti2 of the department of agricul ture: Largo white eggs, large brown eggs, small white egg, and small brown egg. A uniform lot will, as a rule, command a higher price than a mixed one. When taking tbem to town keep them covered and out of the direct rays of the sun. The following rules should bo followed In tha care of egga: 1. Keep the nest, clean; provide one nest for every four hens. 2. (!nt her the eggs twice dully. 3. Keep the eggs In a cool, dry room or cellar 4. Market the eggs at least twice a week. An Infertllo egg Is one that Is laid by a ben that has not been allowed to run with a male bird, or by a ben from which a male bird bas been sep arated from seven dnys to three weeks. Experiments bave shown that tbe time varies. In most cases, however, 14 days Is long enough to wait for the eggs to become Infertile after tbe male bird Is removed from the female. It is impossible to batch an Infertile egg or to cause a blood ring to form In one. It also keeps In good condition In temperatures that will cause fer tile eggs to rot. A fertile egg Is Just the opposite of tbe Infertile In many respects. It Is the egg that is produced from bens that are running with male birds, al though occasionally there are hens running with male birds that lay In fertile eggs. This Is often the esse with hens that are confined in yards and runs, and birds that do not have green feed, or those that are overfat. The fertile egg Is the egg from which the chick is hatched, and the egg tbat spoils so quickly when subjected to the ordinary methods of handling on the farm and when marketed In tbs hot summer months under adverse conditions. When the young chicks are hatched they should be marked In some way, so tbat it can be known Just what pen or pens they are from. If birds from certain pena are to be kept for breed ing or other purposes; also to be able to tell the year In which tbe birds are hatched. A good method of marking the chlcka la to punch a small hole In the web of tbe foot between the toea with a harness puoch, using the small size punch. It Is advisable to market the old hena In tbe summer as soon as the second laylug season is over, as hens over two years old rarely lay. as many eggs as they do In their pullet and yearling aeasons. If they bsve been toe-punched, it will be an easy mat ter to tell exactly In what year they were hatched. Before aendlng the old hens, males, and young cockerels to market, they should be confined In a small pen for at least two weeks, to Incresse tbetr weight and put on fat. and should be given all the feed they will consume of a mixture of two parts corn meal, one part middlings or low-grade flour, and one part. bran, adding enough water to make a crum bly mash. BENEFIT BY WINTER FALLOW Land Is Best for Crops and Aceumi lata Most Moisture When Plowed Deeply and Left Rough. When land la plowed or disked la tbe fall, leaving It in good shape to conserve moisture, It Is called the winter fallow. Winter fallowed land Is the best for spring crops and accumulates most moisture when plowed deeply and left In the rough until the frost loaves the ground in the spring. As soon as this happens evaporation coumeneea, and tbe field should be smoothed over with tbe harrow In order to mulch It When stubble fields are pastured to cattle there Is not much loss of moist ure, for enough dust la raised to fill the cracks and prevent evaporation; but aa soon aa the cattle are taken off a good disking or plowing Is of benefit When land la not plowed In the fall and no cattle are on It, It should be thoionghly disked to save tbe winter moisture. Land which Is left all winter In a packed, bard, cracked state will lose moisture right along, sometimes enough to make half a crop. Land which blows will fallow nicely by leav ing It aa plowed In the rough, with tbe furrows always running across the path tat tbe right angles) of the wind. In cultivating or harrowing, the same rule should be observed, aud the rougher the Ueld the less tbe chance of blowing. All spring grain crops shculd be planted on fall plowed land, and If tbs land settles heavily during the win ter it will often pay to plow again In the spring, especially for such crops as potatoes, corn and beets. Some good crops of corn this year were made in spite of the dry spell by plowing In the fall and listing across the plowing In the spring. It is al ways a help to a crop to plow as much shead of planting time aa possible to allow the soli to settle, and absorb sonio rain or snow. For this re a on corn land plowed In March is ahead of ground plowed in May or June, and will raise more crop. When plowing is done tbe soli al ways break up hotter and makes a superior seed bed if tbe barrow fol lows tbe plow.- When a single team Is used for both plowing and harrowing, all tbe land plowed In the morning should bo bar rowed before diuuer, and all the land plowed In the afternoon harrowed be fore supper. A field which Is left rough In the spring of the year, and nut reduced right away, is liable to prove very lumpy and full of clods when harrow ed two or three duys after the plow. Ing, and If tbls happens unavoidably, tbe only thing to do Is to wait for a rain and harrow the clods when wet These remarks do not apply to tbe winter fuliow, which is purposely left rough to catch snowdrifts, and In which the lumps are broken up by tbe effects of the weather. Care of Freeh Manure. When fresh manure Is taken di rectly to the Held and distributed, the loss of plant food Is reduced to the minimum. The practice of allowing manure to accumulate In piles or oth erwise on the ground, exposed to the action of rain or snow, la exceedingly wasteful, as the leaching removes a large part of the plant food. Silos Are Numerous. Silos are more numerous this year than ever before. Tbe farmers are beginning to realise that tbe silos are really necessary In a dry aeason and every dry season teaches them to look for another. That ia the reason so many are Insuring their future feed supply by building this year. Rsmove the Rubbish. Now Is the time to remove all dead tranches and those that are weak and which interfere with other healthy branches. Small Fruits. Fruit of small alia on berry bushes la not always chargeable to poor vari eties, but is usually due to poor cul ture and no pruning. Currants are largely borne on wood three or four years old. Wood that la older than this should be pruned out and enough young canes allowod to take their place. This may be done at any time after tho fruit Is ripe. Keep the plants well cultivated and fertilize with barnyard manure. Dry Farming. The oc'y method used to conserve soil water Is to keep a good dust mulch by harrowing. Sandy loam soli Is tha best type for dry farming pur poses. Fall -plowing and harrowing In tha spring Is the only treatment the soil receives. Control "Thrlps." Tbe grape leaf hopper la sometimes Incorrectly called "thrlps." For Its control spray the vlnea with tobacco extract or kerosene emulsion while the Insects are young and before they can fly. Later In the fall clean up all rubbish and burn after cold weather sets In. An Al'tit. "How many times have I told yo sot to eat pie with a spoon?'' asked Mrs. Cumrox.
