TllE HEN AND HER NEST.

The expression "D"n't know en-
ouch to set hrn,' though used III
! drrisiou, points to Il task that IL moi
| fully understood. For years we had
| our journals fun Of the question ol
moisture for our incubalnrs too much
| moisture or too little moisture; then the
moisture gauge to grade the supply; un-
Til some wise head discovered that the
hen which hid her nest in the hay-mow
brought forth quite rs many chickens
as hcr sister that Ind her nest ON the
ground under the barn. So ii was con
cladrd that the moisture must come
from the air, and to-dny we have the
most successful non.moiS!urc machine.
lhcrc Is one other fact to be learned
from the hidden nest: Usually the
hen will lay not to exceed four cr"s
per week; she hides her nest and laws
oul her litter or supply as may be,
from twelve to sixteen cuus. have
seen the hidden nest produce seventeen
chicks, allowing four eggs per week;
some OF these eggs were four weeks
old when incubation began, showing
how the vitality will last under natural
treatment of the hen. But, under the
best, some of them were full three
weeks old when incubation began.
Here is IL lesson us to how long the
vitality will last prior to incubation.
TO test this fact, ] last season had Il
basket of Is Lcmhorn eggs sent me;
without unpackin" | placed them in
The cellar, where they stayed not dis
turbcd or turncd for four weeks; they
were placed under Il hen and produced
eight or ten chicks.
these questions cannot be thcorizcd
ON; prior to this test | held to the
opinion that eggs three weeks old
would be absolutely certain not to
hatch. Thc question of the hidden
nest led to the other test, the result of
which will prompt me to so farther
with the experiment this season. 1t
may be that another trial will prove
less successful; then again, | will be
uncertain. At this time believe there
is difference in the length Of the vitali
ty of the eggs from different focks
Strong, vigorous fowls will give more
lasting vitality than oVcr-Kcpt and
pampcrcd ones.
When the hen selects her nest to
hide away her eggs, she invariablc
chooses one with solid foundation so
that the cygS may be guaranteed from
beneath from climate changes. The
turkey or guinea hen, wilder by nature
usually selects some secluded spot on
the ground that has some natural pro-
lection. In thus selecting. they have
help from the natural surroundings to
hold the regular heat from their bodies
within the nest. Some tell us that the
natural moisture from the ground helps
i'll the progress Of incubation. This
do not deny. But, if true, why should

ported from Florida to Chicago, trans
fcrred to cold storage rooms, and kept
In perfect condition to the end OF the
fourth week after being picked
A new contrivanco is now on the
market for ventilating grain in tran
sit, at the same time securing the con-
tents of the ear against rain, sparks
or cinders. It can be attached to an
ordinary car and is likely to come into
general employment before long.
Among the precautions adopted against
cold are packing in straw or sawdust,
and heating by steam or stoves.
Sometimes on the prairics, when the
fierce north wind is blowing, cars
loaded with perishable goods are Gov
cred with canvas on the north side.
Steam is supplied from the locomo-
tive. With bananas one method is to-
heat the refrigerator car to 80 degrees
by oil stoves, remove the stoves, put
the fruit aboard quickly, replace the
stoves, raise the temperature of the
car 90 SO again, remove the stoves
once more, close the car tight and,
start off. This process makes the
cargo perfectly safe for forty eight to
sixty hours, even though the thor
mometer outside should go. down to
zero
Manure, on account of its property
Of generating heat, is largely used as
a. protection for perishable products
on the rail, the bottom of the car
being thickly covered with it, while
sometimes it is put on top Of the
goods also. Flowers arc packed in
moss and will remain fresh four days
under favorable circumstances. Shrubs.
and fruit trees are covered with straw,
and the roots aeo carefully packed in
straw. Extra precautions are taken
with trees when passing over noun
tains, on account of the cold at high
elevations, and no shipments are made
through mountainous regions when
zero weather threatens.
Food products in cans or glass must
not be shipped when tho temperature.
is below freezing. A woll. ventilated
dry cellar is the best place in which.
to store apples, potatoes and vegeea-
bles geaerally, the temperature being
from IS to ~ degrees. Apples are
not iA.de unfit for use by freozing if
they are allowed TO thaw gradually.
Tropical fruits in storage should be
kept at from 60 to 70 degrees. Mineral
waters exposed 80 temperature below
30 degrees soon spoil. Boer may be
shipped in en- outside temperature Of
10 degrees, If the kegs are packed in
nay or savdust and fresh stable ma
nurc.
Butter freezes at Is degrees Fahren-
heit, and when thaved becomes strong
quickly. Milk should mover be al
lowed to freeze. Pork is injured mere
quickly by high temperatures than
other meats. But these are only q
few of tho useful bits Of information
which the weather bureau has gather.
ed and compiled from the experience
of shippers all over the country.

ICE USED FOR HEATING.
Device for Protecting Produce iu Transit

WASHINGTON Sept. 2.-Thc use of
ice for heating purposes is one of the
most curious devices mentioned in a
bulletin soon to be issued by the
weather bureau ON the subject Of pro
tccting porishable goods in transpor-
tatiou. A new kind of car is double
lined and has at each end four galvan-
lzed iron cylinders reaching from the
floor to near the top. In summer
these cylinders are filled with ice and
salt, packed down hard, and it is
claimed that refrigerator vehicle
thus equipped does not need any re-
newal of its stock of ice on journey
clear across the continent. The re-
cnarkable point, however, is that the
car is iced in winter just the same, for
the purpose of preventing freezing.
Ice is normally at about 32 degrees
Fahrenheit, and it is very reluctant 20
give up any of its temperature.
Hence, when it is zero weather out
side the cylinders of relatively warm
Zee act as stoves, helping 70 keep up
the thermometer inside.
Another novel device by which ice
IS employed for protection against cold
consists in throwing upon the G ar,
when the weather is near the zero
point, stream Of water, which prompt
ly freezes and forms complete coat
all over the vehicle. This prevents
radiation of heat from the car and so
tends to keep up the temperature
inside. 1t is plan frequently adopt
ed in the transportation Of bananas,
which arc particularly susceptible to
cold. Fruit Of this kind is put in
paper bags, and covered with salt hay,
when the temperature is dangerously
low.
4 Large shippers Of fruit in the South
have found out by experience that it
docs not do to take fresh fruit, cspc-
cially peaches and canteloupcs, and
load it upon the cars without chill
ing it first. Accordingly, one rail
road in that part of the country is
about to establish at the largest ship
ping points along its lines cooling
rooms, in which the perishable mcr-
chardisc may be put for while be-
fore sending it on its journey. Gran
gcs on the trees will endure 26 de-
grecs for an hour or two, but in four
hours will freeze inside. One recon-
mendation made by the weather bureau
in regard to lemons is that in large
hotels and other places where quanti-
ties of them are used for lemonade and
other purposes, they shall not be taken
from the cold storage room to a heated
room, but shall be squeezed in the
cold storage room. They loose quality
quickly after being taken out Of cold
storage.
One very curious fact that has been
ascertained is that perishable produce,
such as fruit and vegetables, will
stand lower temperature when the
car is in motion than when it is al
rest. No theory has been suggested
to account satisfactorily for this phe.
nomenon, which is certainly interest
ing. 1t is suggested by the weather
bureau that growers may derive sug
( gestions of the utmost value from ths
weather reports and predictions, thus
avoiding the shipment Of their good!
when cold wave in winter, or no
spell In summer, is Imminent. The,

railroads transportation 10 liable t. b,
