Matching Eggs and Breaking Up sitters
From the poultry department of the ex
perimental farms, Ottawa, comes report
of the Matching results from eggs set on
dry boards and on damp ground. Both
of these methods have their advocates
The contention on one side is that eggs
to hatch out well must be placed on damp
ground or on some substance calculated
to retain moisture, and the opposite on
the other side. 1t appears from the re-
port under consideration that the fertil-
ity of the eggs had more to do with the
result than the location of the sitter.
Manager Gilbert hazards the opinion,
however, that it is quite possible that
early in the season, when the weather is
yet cold, the dry floor may be the best,
because it is likely to be warmer In the
hot season the cool, damp cellar would
be preferable. This opinion is substan-
tiated in part at least by experiences Of
the writer, who has found nests near or
ON the ground more advantageous i'm
warm, dry climates than nests placed on
II dry floor.
In his report Manager Gilbert tells
how to break up sitter when it is desir-
able to get her to laying again as soon as
possible. He says: THE best way to ac-
complish this is to put the broody hen in
IA coop or compartment without a nest,
where she cannot sit, feed her generous
ly, and in a few days she will cease TO be
broody, and if the good feeding is kept on
will soon be laying again. The practice
of ducking the broody hens in water, ty-
ing them to a stake, swinging them by
their legs, is simply cruel and unneces-
sary. Some hens, Wyandottes, for in
stance, are much more easily broken up
than others. A broody member of the
Spanish family should not be used as a
sitter. Occasionally an exception may be
found, but as a general rule, although
very fussy, they are not Trustworthy"

The Maids of Modern Greece.

The costume worn by the Greek
women is seldom bought ready made.
1t is usually either made by the wear
ers themselves or has come to them
by inheritance. A handsome cos
tune is an expensive purchase. The
chemise, long enough to form a skirt,
is very richly embroidered about the
bottom in silk, and the two Jackets
of white cloth are elaborate. These
are sleeveless, but a fine pair of en-
broidered sleeves makes a separate
part of the dress. Silver ornaments
for the head, neck and arms, a red
apron, a sash, and a silk -gauze veil
complete the costume.
The last named items are luxr1ries
however, and vary according to the
means. Rich maidens braid long
strings of coins into their tresses, and
at a country dance, where the cos
tune is seen in its full splendor, the
eyes of the sutton are as much at
tracted by the back view as by the
face of the fair creatures. For every
day use nearly all women of every
age wear a handkerchief over the
head, and they are for the most part
manufactured in Greece. Athens

The Only Two Lepers in England.

There are only two lepers in Eng
land. There were three, one being
the celebrated meat salesman, the
discovery of whose case so terrified
the Prince of Wales and the aristoc-
racy two years ago that quite a so
clety "boOm" in leprosy was got up.
Another was the Greenwich leper,
now in charge of DR.. Burney, medi-
cal superintendent of the Greenwich
Union infrmary. The third, who
has just died, was the boy leper in
Whitechapel infrmary.
The extraordinary thing is that
when the Psychologists examined his
body after death they found nothing
remarkable in it. There were a few
marks of damage to the lungs visible,
such as one sees in consumptives,
but that was all. Leprosy is thus a
greater pathological puzzle than ever
to the doctors. -London Tit Bits.

An Eccentric Indrment

Captain King, at one time governor
in an Australian colony, was noted
for his eccentricities. One day he
was waited on by two prisoners
suing for pardon. The petition of
the one was signed by all the leading
men of Sydney, that of the other
bore but one name.
'How comes it," asked the gov
ernor, that you have only one name
on your petition, while this man has
so many2"
Il have lived with only one master
all my time, sir" said the man. Il
didn't know anybody else"
The governor Immediately gave
him his pardon, but dismissed the
other applicant with the remark:

that you don't need anything more. +"

Partly Exhausted Lands.

Much partly exhausted land is fa'

What it has lost is the humus or vege
table matter that by decomposing fur
nishes heat and helps make mineral fer
tility available. In all heavy soils espe
cially there are stores of plant food that
the roots cannot get at unless they have
the apparent stimulus of little nitrog-
enous fertilizer to set them loose. This
explains why light dressings Of com
posted manure or of commercial fertil-
izers often produce astounding results.

If a hide is taken off and properly
cared for it will often bring n fifth or

Hilllng Tomatoes.

An Iowa correspondent, writing TO Tksa
Farmers Review, says: IL have become
quite successful in this way: Get good,
strong plants six inches high. When
started well begin to hill up, and as the
plant grows continue until you get hill
a foot high; if the plant branches, train
them apart. Killing gives the plant a
chance to throw out roots all through
the hill and forces growth. Give the
plant a dressing of wood ashes, which
will keep away bugs and disease and in
crease fertility; then the killing gives a
nice dry surface for the vine and fruit
to lay on. 1t keeps the fruit dry and
clean and in no danger of rot"
