incubator than it does to feed hens to
incubate the same number OF eggs,
and a good incubator will hatch just as
many or more eggs than an average
flock of hens. There are good and bad
incubators, just as much as there are
hens that stick to business and hens
that quit the nest, the variation is just
as great. There are incubators that
are made carefully of good material

are others that are made with a view
of profit on manufacture. There are

Cowboys
as JOkerS

There is joy in the hearts of the
cowboys who are gathered for the WIN
ter in the little COW towns along the
line Of the Great Northern railway in
northern Montana. The railway com
pany has announced its Indignation
at the actions OF the boys, and they
are gleeful in consequence. To STIR
I'D the wrath of a great railway cor
poration is a luxury not often gwen
to the boys who punch cows.
The management OF the railway
takes exception to the habit the boys
have formed of letting off revolvers,
with apparent recklessness, during the
passage of passenger trains through
the town. 1t is an amusement dear TO
the soul of the cowboy. Just now
he has more money than he has at
any other time of the year, and also
has more ammunition. The presence
of a passenger train at the station,
with it's load of curious outlanders,
moves him to show off his badness.
He whoops and yells and fires his re-
yolver until the train has pulled away;
then he relapses into his everyday
self, satisfied that he has scared the
messengers to a fragile. But Mr.. Hill
saws this is reprehensIble, and must
stop. Will it stop? Well!

Director-We can all bear testimony

The Corn Stalk Disease.

From Farmers Review: l have seen
a great deal published on the cornstalh
disease. Perhaps I can add something
of value. / have Seen no remedy given
except that OF the assistant state vet
erinarian L. G. Tiffany. He thinks a
poisonous fungus develops on the stalk
or blades, invisible but surely there.
He said the only sure way OF aVololns
the disease is to cease turning I'D tue
stock. Now as have practiced veter-
mary surgery for the last forty-touI
years and in that time have opened
and examined both horses and cattie
in large numbers that have died from
this seme trouble. l think l know
whereof l speak. The cause OF inc
trouble is that the animal Is expected
to eat enough of those weather-peateh
stalks to supply them with nourlsh-
ment. An animal has therefore to eat
almost all day and all night to do IL.
The system of an animal does not
furnish moisture enough to digest the
fodder that has been eaten. The con-
sequence is that gases are formed III
the bowels and these cause death.
have examined several cattle anu
horses that died this fall in this part
of the state. They had died While on
dry pasture and an examination showed

is that the stalks when cut nave all

trying 20 raise a fee chicks. While to
make q perfect success or to succeed
at all with setting hens. we have al
most got to camp right with them;
the incubator is ready any time, can
be run where it is the most convenient
to the operator, the chief and only ex-
pense in operating it is the kerosene
used, and this does not amount to
more than the feed to run hens enough
to incubate an equal number OF eggs.
On the average there is no more
labor attached to running an incubator
than there is in running a couple OF
contrary sitting hens. Running the
incubator becomes a company and
pleasure, while looking after the hens
becomes drudgery too often. A good
incubator comes SO near running itself
that what is left to run is interesting
and a real rest from other work. AT
the end of three weeks there is
large bunch of chicks all the same age.
hens are not losing them or killing
them off in the cold, or wet grass and
weeds, or drowning them in the
storms. If good brooder is used the
chances are good for raising a large
per cent of them. Th,1 soon learn TO
know the brooder and Will ccllect

aging the season through, a good in

of all eggs. While it is fact that
hens sometimes hatch every egg. 1t Is
also a fact that occasionally an incu-
bator will do likewise, yet In the one
case few eggs, in the other, lots OF
