from the rest of the city and left him
alone for day, raylng maniac in the
midst OF the torrent. He was forcibly
rescued and taken 10 the home of his chill

MAY Hatched Chicks.

Years ago, when 1 used to buy good
many eggs for Matching in the north
and east, was imbued with that old
fogy idea that still clings to some that
May Matched chickens were inferior to
those Matched earlier in the season.
Hence l used to place my orders in
March, with Instructions to ship as
early as possible; that l wanted April
Matched chickens. One man that l dis
tinctly remember, a breeder at Water
yliet, Mich, wrote me in reply that
they still had winter up there, that his
chickens were all housed and that he
could not guarantee his eggs to hatch
satisfactorily so early in the season.
told him to hold the order and to ship
when he thought would get best re
suits from the eggs. He did so. The
eggs were set the latter part of April,
and got the best batch 1 ever had
from shipped eggs and raised every
one of the chickens too.
On two or three other occasions i
bought eggs from leading breeder of
White Leghorns in New York state and
urged early shipment. and in each case
was advised to wait until later before
the eggs should be shipped. But l
wanted the eggs, and so they were for
warded against the Judgment of the
shipper and with Indifferent matches
too.
So after time l came to know by
experience that for sure hatch and
thrifty. quick growing chicken the May
sitter and the May chicken were the
surest.
May is the natural Matching month
of the birds and the wild fowl. They
nest and hatch after the trees have
leafed out and the surface Of the earth
has been warmed up generally by the
suns genial rays and the insect life
awakened as well. Without the latter
the mother bird could not provide food
for her young; therefore. animated by
natural instincts, she awaits the call of
nature before nesting. She knows that
the leafiess trees and the barren, brown
earth would afford her no subsistence
for her young.

In 1895 we scarcely knew Denmark
as an egg producer, but in that year
was founded the first Danish co-opera-
tive society for the export Of eggs. The
same system which had succeeded with
butter was now to be applied to eggs.
The country was divided up into dis
tricts. Each district had in some rail
way station collecting depot, and all
members of the society were bound to
deliver three times week at the depot.
The depot agent refused or had right
to refuse all eggs more than four days
old, and every producer of each station
had a distinct number branded on the
egg. Thus In the event of an egg
proving bad the depot which shipped it
would be proceeded against, and by
means of the distinctive humber the
depot agent would be able to detect
the producer, on whom the loss would
finally fall.
By thus guaranteeing absolute fresh
ness and making good any occasional
loss the Danes established a high
standard and so created a continuous
demand. And what is the result? In
1895, the first year of the experiment,
there We're established six local egg
societies. with an aggregate of 1000
members; in 1900 there were actually
no fewer than S37 separate co-opera-
tive societies, with a total membership
of 10000 producers! Is it surprising
that Denmark should send to England
alone 300,000,o00 of eggs annually p
London Mail.

Incubators.

Being interested in pure bred poultry
Matched early in the season, we found
1t necessary to purchase an incubator.
We had never had any experience with
an incubator; but, after having oper-
ated one through eight or nine matches,
we have learned a few things that
some incubator catalogues don't tell.
"Our machine is not affected by out
side temperature" is statement that
may be found in more than one cata-
logue, and If the temperature of the
room in which the machine is operated
always remained the same the state
ment would be true enough, but we
know from experience that it is
more or less affected by the tempera-
ture of the room. A machine in a cool
room will keep quite an even tempera-
ture, but IL the room warns up to so
or 80 degrees the regulator will be Of
little use, as the live eggs. after the
first ten days, will radiate great deal
of heat. and that with the heat of the
lamp and the extra heat of the room
will overhead the eggs. Sometimes we
have to extinguish the light and on real
warm days open the machine to keep
the temperature even. We have learn
ed that it is not necessary to add mois-
ture to help the hatch, as there is
enough moisture in the egg to hatch it
if the machine is operated right, but
great deal depends on the ventilation.
Too much ventilation will tougher the
membrane and harden the shell, so
much SO that the chick cannot get out.

WASHING SHEEP.
Reasons For the Discontinuance OF
This Practice.

Reasons For the Discontinuance OF
This Practice.
w. N. Cowden of Ohio, discussing the
subject Of washing sheep in The Ma
tional Stockman, arrives at this conclu-
sion:
Washing wool as now praeticed in
jures the wool. Scientific men now tell
us that each fiber of wool is incased in
a sheath of oil, and partial washing
breaks this sheath and leaves the fiber
less lustrous and less strong. If the
sheep is allowed to run until this
sheath is repaired, it might as well
never have been washed. The partial
breaking Of this sheath Of oil accounts
for the discolored appearance of wool
for the first week after washing, and
all have learned that wool must remain
on sheep after washing long enough
for some oil to rise.
The real reason for washing sheep is
the unreasonable reduction demanded
by the buyer. A uniform reduction OF
one-third on all kinds and grades Of I'M
washed wool is as unreasonable and
absurd as uniform price for all kinds
and grades of wool. The practical
question is, How change the old condi-
tons? Where farmers are organized
the way is easy, simply by resolution
to stop washing. In the absence Of an
organization each farmer must act for
himself, and we, who commenced some
i've years ago to shear without wash
ing, have experienced no difficulty in
selling at figures that did not represent
a one-third reduction. The increased
amount Of unwashed wool now going
to market from this section Of the Unit
ed States points to the time in the near
future when all wool will so to market
unWashed.

PROFIT in STANDARD BREED

A Well Known Breeder Gives Fig
ures to Prove That the Best Pay.
have been breeding standard bred
poultry for about ten years. Previous
to this / thought anything that wore
feathers and resembled a hen would
answer the purpose, but experience has
taught me better.
l have been breeding Buff Plymouth
Rocks almost from their introduction
and have found them very profitable
both for fancy and market purposes.
1 want to tell your readers the results
obtained from an investment of S12
in Buff Rock eggs a year ago this
spring, as ! have kept strict account
Of the chicks raised and the profit de-
rived from them separate from the
rest of my flock. / sent noted west
ern breeder $12 for 40 Buff Rock eggs,
and he was to send me eggs from his
best birds. These As eggs were set the
Goth of April, 1900, under some game
hens which I borrowed from neigh
Dor. These hens were the worst things
to break eggs / ever had any expert
ence with, for when Matching day
came MAY III there only remained 80
eggs in the nests. From the 35 eggs 80
strong, healthy chicks We're Matched.
Not satisfied with breaking eggs, these
pesky game hens trampled two chicks
to death in the nest, which left me
with only 2S chicks. and l raised the
whole % to maturity. Now, to show
the profit l have made on these %
chicks to date april 20, 1901), I quote
from my poultry account book.
After culling out and selling surplus
birds / had left nine females and two
cockerels, which were kept for breed
ing purposes. Following is the ac-
count as it appears in my account book:
Sold five cockerels at 81, $3.50, rs
cents, So and So respectively; one pair,
So; 100 incubator eggs, So; eggs for
Matching to date april 20), $11; sold
eggs to stores during winter, $5.15;
used in the house four dozen, 81; total,
$39.4O.
My expenses were: Eggs for hatch
ing, $12; express, 60 cents; feed and
other expenses, $11.36; total, $23.96;
profit, $15.44. or an average Of trif1e
over $1.44 per head, including male and
females, with the original nine females
and two males yet on hand, which,
figuring from the average price by
which the other stock was sold ($2. 15),
would be worth about $23.65, or total
profit of $1,000.
There is prevailing idea among
very large class that a hen is hen and
one is just as good as another, SO
quote the above for the benefit of this
class. Poultrymen who have and are
making the business a success will tell
you that standard bred poultry is the
most profitable in every way, and this
decision comes from knowledge and ex-
perience in their business.-Henry

Three Remedies. All Old. but Not Yet

Now, borers are difficult things to
fight under all circumstances, and no
course of treatment is known which
will entirely eradicate them. Never
theless every one that is killed is just
so much gained for the general good
There are three practices that have
been found useful, though no one of
them, or all of them combined, will rid
an orchard of an insect that breeds in
so many host trees. They are the same
old remedies recommended many years
ago and which have not since been i'm
proved upon.
They consist in protecting by means
of a wash, binding the trunk with pa
per and digging out the young larvae.
Whitewash or WhiteWash and glue
applied to the trunk and large limbs is
said to have a very beneficial effect.
1t should be applied early in June and
kept on in good condition through most
Of July. Soft soap is also used for this
purpose.

trunk and larger limbs. For this pur-

this time the young have not gone into

pushed through small holes. When any
suspicious waste is seen protruding
from the bark. it is well to investigate
with stiff pin and if a cavity is
found to extract the occupant before
he goes SO deeply into the wood as to
be beyond our reach. A little time

repaid by increased vigor of our or
