AN ERRONEOUS IDEA.
Incubation Eggs Need No Moisture B0
That of the Hens Body.

Incubation Eggs Need No Moisture Bat
That of the Hens Body.
The old and oft-repeated theory that
In natural incubation eggs need more
moisture than that furnished by the
hens body is easily disproved by ex-
perience. An incubating hen does not
need to wander through grass wet with
dew or to be out occasionally in the
rain in order to have good hatch. A
belated chick will sometimes dry fast
to the she'll and needs a dip in warm
water to free it, but that is only be-
cause it is weak and belated. BY way
of experiment, last spring l set seven
hens on ninety-one eggs. They were
set in a room having board floor and
opening into an inclosed shed in which
they were fed and watered and had a
dust bath. They were not outdoors
during the whole hatch. They brought
out seventy-three fine chicks. Of the
remaining eighteen eggs six tested out
infertile. The rest would probably have
Matched, only they were set under q
foolish hen of uncertain mind, who
made botch of the business. The
supply of the proper amount of .mois-
ture IN artificial incubation and at the
right stage of the hatch is very puz-
zling question. There are so many
modifying circumstances to be consid
cred. The tendency at present is
toward less moisture than formerly,
and to be applied the last few days of
the hatch.
frnn hot tp i'm ool laV lae G
moisture will be needed than if above
ground. In some sections of the coun-
try less moisture is required than in
others Different degrees of moisture
in the atmosphere at time of Matching
must also be considered. Some styles
of incubators require more and some
less moisture. The person who runs
the incubator will need to study and
experiment for himself. If too much
moisture is given, the chicks will grow
too rapidly and become bound in the
she'll If too little, the inner men,
brane will become tough and dry. In
either case many chicks will die in the
shell during the last few days of incu-
baton. 1t is a very discouraging ex-
| perience to find after hatch that per-
haps so per cent Of the eggs have dead
chicks fully matured If this expert
ence is repeated time and again it be-
comes exasperating. Spraying the eggs
is generally condemned, yet my last
two matches sprayed lightly twice a
day the last three days, and had over
90 per cent matches. The spray ing
was done Immediately after turning
water at 1903 degrees. Mine is hot
air machine. | reasoned that light
spraying would keep the inner mem
brane of the eggs in the right condi-
ton, so the chicks could easily peck
their way out into this greedy world.

The Bees Sting Useful.

1t will be a surprise to many to
learn that, after all, the most impor-
tant function of the bees sting is not
its singing. ! have long been con-
WINGED that the bees put the finishing
touches on their artistic cell work by
the dexterous use of their stings, and
during this final finishing stage of the
process of honey-making the bees in
ject a minute portion of formic acid
into the honey. This is in reality the
poison of their sting. This formic acid
gives to the honey Its peculiar flavor,
and also imparts to it it's keeping
qualities. The sting is really an ex-
quisitely- little trowel, with
which the bee finishes off and caps the
cells when they are filed brimful with
honey. While doing this the formic
acid passes from the poison bag, ex-
udes, drop by drop, from the point of
the sting, and the beautiful work is
finished. -IIorticultural Times.

An Intelligent Settlers Appreciation of HIS
Doctor.
There is a prominent business man in
town who is something of dog fancier
and takes pride in a pair of English set
ters that have held a prominent place
in several bench shows of the country.
Some months ago one of them developed
an incipient case of ophthalmia and
was taken TO an oculist for treatment
just as naturally as would have been
any other member of the family. The
treatment, which consisted of drops to
be put in the patients eye, proved quite
successful and relieved the trouble for
time, but after while it came on
again and second expedition was
planned to the doctors
Film Flam seemed to know where he
was going, for on entering the square
where the oculist had his Office he
raced ahead of his master and up the
steps where he had been but once be-
fore, and on the door being opened,
bolted straight for the treatment room
instead of waiting his turn downstairs,
as two-legged patients learn to do to
their sorrow and impatience. This time
the treatment was zinc solution that
was very severe, and brought the water
in streams from the patients eyes, but
he took it with his nose in the air, never
wincing, and the only sign of feeling he
made was to hold out one paw pa
thetically for his masters hand. -Wash-

BEES IN WINTER.
A Frame of Honey Is the Best Food for
Them.

A Frame of Honey Is the Best Food for
Them.
The best method of feeding bees in
winter is, according to writer in the
American Bee journal, to give them a
frame of honey. If all of the honey is
in the hives, look over all of the col
onies or sufficient number of them to
find combs of honey to give the starv-
ing colonies 1t is we'll known that al !
the colonies do not consume the same
amount of stores, and the variation is
so great that 1t often happens that
enough combs of honey may be spared
from those who have plenty to supply
the needy.
If no honey is available, and some
colonies must be fed, candy made of
graduated sugar is the best substi-
tute. 1t may be calSed in shallow
Dishes and the thin cake laid over the
bees and covered with enamel cloth
and two or three thicknesses of old
carpet, or the candy may be run" di-
rectly into the frames and the frames
hung in the hives adjoining the clusters
of bees. Good" candy is also recon-
mended for this purpose. Thin boards
are tackled to one side of an empty
brood frame, thus forming a shallow
tray. 1t is then filled with candy and
the other side covered with boards ex-
cept a small space at the top, which Is
left for the bees to enter.
