FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Care of Sitting Hens.

March is the month to set the hens,
for the earlier after this they are set,
the better the chicks will prove. OF
course every hen has been set that
would stick to her nest during the past
month, but as hens must lay out their
clutches before the sitting fever takes
possession of them, the larger number
will not be ready for the nest before
this month. DO not sell any eggs now,
but crowd the hens by setting all that
can be relied upon. When it comes to
finding them all nests, much discretion
is nee1ed, that confusion does not
cause trouble and loss. OF course, the
simplest way to set them is in rows in
the hen-house, but the hens will not
all remember their own nests, and will
crowd two or three on one nest, leaving
their own eggs to become cold and
perish. 1t is advisable to set the hens
in different rooms and apart from one
another, but if the nest rows must be
used, then there must be careful watch
fitness. A good rule is to keep the
windows we'll darkened, so that the
hens will not be tempted to leave their
nests until noon. When you give the
other chickens their MONDAY meal,
and while they are feeding, 60 in the
hen-house. take all the sitting hens off
the nests, and make them 90 out to
feed. While they are out, clear the
nests of broken eggs, dirt and feathers,
loosen up the straw little. and dust
Persian insect powder over the eggs.
Now comes the critical time. Do not
forget what you have done, and do no:
trust the hens, but within half an hour
be sure to return, and see that each is
on her own proper nest, or you will
have trouble every time they come off.
Hens are creatures of habit, and a
little training goes a great way with
them. If they can be made to keep
the same nest three or four days, there
will be little danger that they will
make any mistakes about it for the re-
mainder of the time. That will save
you the trouble of moving them, but
not the responsibility of seeing that
they return promptly to their nests
after feeding. When all is right,
darken the sitting-room again and
leave them until the next day at feed
ing time.

LOVELY BUT WELCOME.
DORA GRHINwILL.


When have said my quiet say,
When have sung my. little song,
How sweetly, sweetly dies the day,
The valley and the hill along; -.
How sweet the summons, "Come away!'
That calls me from the busy throng.
I thought beside the waters flow
A while to lie beneath the leaves,
l thought ip autumn's harvest glow
TO rest my head upon the sheaves;
But 10! methinks the day was brief
And cloudy; flower, nor fruit, nor leaf
bring, and yet accepted, free
And blest, my Lord come to thee.
What matter now for promise lost,
Through blast of spring or summer rains
What matter now for purpose crost,
For broken hopes, and wasted palms,
What If the olive little yields,
What If the grape be blighted! Thine
The corn upon thousand fields,
Upon a thousand hills the vine.
Thou lowest still the poor: Oh, blest
In proverty beloved to be!
Less loWly il my choice confessed,
I love the rich in loving thee!
My spirit bare before thee stands,
bring no gift, ask NO sign,
I come to thee with empty hands,
The surer to be filed from thine.
