So numerous are the queer beliefs
concerning the number seven that a
narration of them all would ill Il vol
ume. but we may mention few OF
them. From the very earliest ages the
seven great planets We're known ana
ruled this world and the dwellers i'll II,
and their number entered into every
conceivable matter that concerned
man. There are seven days in the
week. "seven holes in the head for the
master stars are SEVEN" seven ages
both for man and the world in which
he lives. There were seven material
heavens. and in the underworld de-
scribed by Dante the great pagan dead
who were not good enough for heaven
or bad enough for hell reposed in
seven-valled and seven-gated city.
/ here are seven cOlors in the spectrum
and seven notes &n the diatonic octave,
and the leading" note of the scale is
the seventh. BE it noted that the sew

believed to be subject to the powers
of darkness and TO be compelled every
Saturday evening to assume the like

March is the best month to set hens
for early chicks.
Kerosene roosts upper and under
side every week.
Give your houses plenty of fresh air
every day until the time comes to let
the stock run out.
Keep up the daily supply of green
food, and if your hens are LAYING
strong, as they should be. keep shell
boxes well filed.
Never set a hen in the same coon
with layers. Have separate. retired
place where she may be able to find
water and a dust bath.
Early brood hens are not always re-
liable sitters; therefore be very sure a
hen means business before cntrusting
valuable eggs to her care. Nine eggs
will frequently be found enough if the
month is cold. A hen must be able TO
cover her eggs entirely during cold
weather.
