March and April are the months for
setting hens. Chicks Matched later
than April will be too late to furnish
laying pullets in autumn. Hens which
sit early are a little more difficult to
manage because the broody fever Is
not so strong as 1t is in warm weather,
but If carefully handled they can us
ually be made TO stick TO a nest when
changed. The safest and easiest way
is to give each hen a room by herself.
The nest should be carefully made
with n good foundation Of earth and
chaff covered with fine hay. A hen
often knows a poor nest better than
her owner does and will refuse to
adopt 1t. Place her on the nest and fix
a covering of cloth over 1t TO keep ii
dark. With these conditions the hen
will usually accept the situation. After
a day of two the genuine eggs may be
given her and the nest uncovered, If
she has a separate room and Is given a
good supply of grain, water, grit and a
dust bath, the hen will require but lit
tie more attention.

stock Raising and Bects.

In all countries where the sugar beet
is made a specially much consideration
is given the value of the beets as cattle
food, that is, the residuum, after the
sugar is extracted. BY feeding stock
in connection with the growing of the
beets for sale TO the factory, carrying
home the pulp for stock food, the farm

beets are Increased. Experiments In
Pennsylvania show that the yields Of
beets range from ten to fifteen tons per
acre, and the average amount OF sugar

sons, and his profits will be more some
years than during others, but II Is be-
lleyed that farmers have neglected the
beet as an important food for cattle,
independently of Its use as n source for
procuring sugar, not that the beet Is MS

will find a larger Increase In production
from cattle by reason OF the feeding OF
~succulent food, and. although there Is
some preparation reqrlred for all kinds

Eighty per cent. of whitened buds pass

Little Attachment for thesWind Gauge
at Weather Bureaus.
Hereafter the gentle devil cannot de-
scend at night nor a fake of snow fall
without being registered on'the Mime
apolls weather station rainigange. VIII
lam Carlisle, a member of Weather Ob
server Outram's staff, has just perfect
ed a little adjunct TO the rain gauge
registration machinery, which will
hereafter make 1t possible TO register
absolutely so small a precipitation as a
t~housandth of an inch. In fact the
minuteness of Its registration Is only
limited by the delicacy of the scale
makers art.
Mr.. Carlisle has frequently noticed
that short and gentle, but perfectly ap-
preciable rainfalls have occurred with
out showing any registration. On the
other hand he has noted that slight reg
istrations are sometimes made when
there is no moisture falling. The regis
tration is effected by e of an cleo
trlcal connection between the scales of
the exposed rain gauge and "A graphic

low. The rain gauge jar rests on n
arm of a pair of delicately balanced
scales. Rain falling In the jar disturbs
the balance, the jar side settles and
thereby closes an electrical circuit
which causes the registering device to
record a certain amount of rain. At
the same time the balance is automatic
ally restored. Mr.. Carlisle ascertain
ed that at times the pressure exerted
on the bottom of the jar by wind eddies
had exactly the same effect as the
weight Of the rain. 1t was obvious that
what was needed was IA device that
would distinguish between wind and
rain.
After much experimentation Mr.. Car
Isle hit upon the scheme of intrOduc-
ing in the electrical circuit some addi-
tional clock work, the effect of which
is to delay the graphic register five sec
Onds. That is to say hat II a certain
amount of rain is caught by the gauge
receptacle 1t will be five seconds be
fore it Is recorded. If the pressure ex-
erted on the scales vas really hat
made by collected water ii would still
remain at the end of that period. If
on the other hand the disturbance of
the scales was momentary and due to
wind pressure, they would regain their
equilibrium during the five seconds and
no record would be made. The ma
chine can be adjusted to any length of
time.
Mr.. Carlisle's attention Is now attach
ed to the official rain gauge and works
admirably. 1t is probable that the in
y%ention will be applied to all govern
ment rain gauges Minneapolis Jour

The sonIe at San Inne.

A correspondent Of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, residing at San Jose,
has this to say: '0ur Eastern friends
are everywhere In n state of great
alarm at the ravages OF the San Jose
scale, so called because 1t was near
San Jose that It began serious work up
on Its arrival from South America. We
do not believe the trouble will be per-
manent any more than was In this
State. One may mlngle among fruit
farmers near San Jose for a year and
never hear the pest mentioned. The
lime. sulphur and salt mixture has been
| considered a sovereign remedy. Lat
| terly It has been claimed in other places
that the decrease was due TO a parasite.
nhere Is, however, at present in San
| Jose so little interest In the San Jose
| scale that we do not know that anyone
there has eyer looked for q parasite, al
though probably the official bug hunters
have done so. We state this ms q word
of encouragement 10 Eastern fruit
growers who are nov alarmed, as VIC
were here about ten years since"

was a dead silence, only broken by the

Points In sheen breeding.

A swollen udder often causes a eve
to disowp and abuse her lamb. The
milk flow is then usually deficient,
which only makes the hungry lambs
more persistent, the W more desper-
ate and a bad matter worse. In such
q case we put the lambs in a box or
barrel near the eve, supply them with
almost enough cows milk from bottle
with nipple, or let them to some other
eve, and only let them to these enough
to keep the milk taken; in the mean
time battle the udder with tepid water
and witch hazel or arnlca. Do all this
often-at least every two hours for n
day-then extend the times until sore
ness and swelling Is gone and milk
flow increased, when the lambs will be
receiyed.-Indlana Farmer.

Teaching Calves to Drink.

II is important that the calf should be
early weaned from the teat. 1t Is better
for the future Of the calf that It be
taken from Its dam within tw~enty-four
hours after II Is dropped. The milk at
this time is just what the calf requires,
but II Is better that 1t be MIXED In a
pail and thus fed to the calf than that
the calf should suckle. Remove the calf
far enough from It's dam so that neither
can hear the other. for the longer they
remain near enough to see OIL hear each
other the less conteg;ei either wifi be.
BY giving milk from its own dam, and
warm, we have never had much trou-
Bile In teaching II TO drink. The finger
may be put in the calf's mouth. when It
will suck vigorously. If this finger,
while the calf is still sucking, Is gently
held down so as to he under the milk.
the calf will be drinking almost before
1t knows II. Care should be taken 10
hold the pail firmly. SO soon as the
milk begins TO come into its mouth the
calf will butt most violently, as instinct
teaches It that this Is the way to induce
a better flow from the ndder. The calf
at this early age does not know enough
to distinguish between q wooden pail
and its dams udder.-Amerlcan Cultl-
yator.

individuality In Farm stock.

No positive rules can be given fol
feeding farm stock, Besides the differ
ence In size, which may he tested by q
pair Of scales, there Is a greet differ
ence in the appetite and feeding en-
pacIty Of animals. This last can only
be determined by experiment. This
makes the work Of caring for farm
stock one which requires care and
thought, instead of being merely me-
chanical. When domestic animals are
pregnant their appetites and ability to
digest n large amount Of food is great.
" Increased. In most cases this In
creased ability TO eat and digest food
remains after the necessity for 1t has
passed. Hence, animals that have bred
several times fatten much more rapid
~ than will those of like age that have
never bred.
