HOW TO SET A HEN.
fits Not the Simplest Thing in the
World to Accomplish Sue
cessfully.

All the large breeds of chickens
should be Matched out during early in
the season. If the pallets have been
laying since October, there should be no
scarcity of brood mothers, but if they
have not been laying it will be best to
secure some that have. To begin with.
it is folly to set a hen where the layers
can get to her nest. A room apart from
the flock must be provided, to which the
setter should be quietly removed after
dark, the nest having been previously
arranged. Place few china nest eggs
in the nest and allow the hen to set a
day or two before placing the eggs I'M
der her. Dust her thoroughly with in
sect powder and put in front of her q
supply of grit, corn and q pan of fresh
water and let her help herself at will.
It is better to set hens by twos so that
when the broods are Matched all of the
chicks can be put with one her. and the
other hen can be reset, says Epitomist.
In cool weather, with good care, one hen
may hatch as many as three broods with
out leaving the nest except for her usual
exercise and not be any the worse for her
nine weeks setting. Setting hen no
doubt seems to those who have never
tried it a very simple thing, but never
theless, the fact remains, that not one
person in a hundred who raises poultry
knows just how to handle hen during
the Matching of her brood.

POINTERS FOR BEEMEN.
Some Suggestions Which Will Prove
to Be Of Value During the
Springtims. -.

The necessity of water to the honey
bees is to dissolve honey which some
times becomes candied In the cell. In
brood rearing, they can make but little
progress without an abundant supply.
In early spring, when compelled to go
q long distance to secure water from
brooks or drains, the losses will be be-
yOnd comprehension. The careful apta-
rist is fully aware Of the value OF these
little water gatherers at this season Of
the year. He could we'll afford to lose
four times their number a month or
two later. 1t is apparent that many
cases Of so-called spring dwindling Is
traceable to the want of water at the
proper temperature, supplied at conven-
lent places in the apiary.
Many of us have taken great pains in
locating our colonies. perhaps wintered
fairly we'll, but without giving the mat
ter a thought. Water had the most to
do with our difficulties. There is prob
ably no better way to keep the combs
not in use than under colony. If for
any reason you do not want to keep them
there, little fear need be felt that any
harm will come to them from worms
from this time till late next spring. when
they can again be given to the bees. 1t
is generally admitted that more extract
ed honey can be produced than comb
honey. Just how much more, no one
seems to know definitely. Some say
twice as much, some say half more.
The explanation is easy. In running
for extracted honey, extracting combs
are given. These the bees store with
their first honey and keep on storing I'M
til full. They do not even have to stop
to draw out foundation, much less to
loaf around before attempting to draw
it out. In the case of comb honey, a
super containing sections filed with
sheets OF foundation is given. But be.
fore the bees enter that super, they will
crowd every available cell in the brood
nest. In the meantime the loafing habit
Is started, and swarming is likely to
follow, says the Orange Judd Farmer.
The fact of the matter is, the bees seem
much to prefer to store the nectar in
cells already drawn out; and it takes
pressure, q great deal of it, to force them
into the supers. When they once COM
mence drawing out the foundation, then
the storing and the work on the other
sections begin.
Some farmers prefer to pour the feed
right on the bees. II the feed is of the
right consistency, it never Injuries them
at all. It takes but little feed to stimu.
late to start breeding, provided abund-
ance Of honey is in the hive. It would be
poor policy to stimulate to rear a lot
of bees and then allow them to starve.
In feeding in the spring, feed only
enough to fill the combs with the feed in
stead Of the brood, for brood not stores
is what is desired at this time of year.

SOME FACTS ABOUT BEES
Things Which Every Keeper Of Bees
Should Keep in Mind If He
Would Succeed.
I you are not making

Blame yourself If you are not making
a success with bees.
The orchard is the best place for the
apiary.
It is estimated that it costs the bees
ten pounds Of honey for every pound of
comb.
From the time it is Matched, until it
becomes matured, the bee is 81 days old.
We doubt If there is a better honey
plant than Alsike clover.
Even at the tender age Of three days,
bees help to perform the labors neces-
sary in the hive, like building the comb
and feeding the larvae.
The drone is an ideal loafer. He does
nothing but eat. Itrequires several days
more to hatch q drone than a queen or
worker, showing they are even too tired
to come into this world.

ECC-EATiNG HENS.
How to Discover Them and What to
Do When They Are Detected
in the Trick.

It is extremely disappointing to know
that the hens are laying and yet never to
get an egg. This is the case when you
have egg-eating hens. II you suspect
that your hens are eating eggs youcan
easily determine to your satisfaction.
Take q china egg Tor even a hen egg If
you are willing to sacrifice one) and roll
it out on the floor of the pen before the
hens that you suspect. If they are egg
eaters they will, every one Of them,
make a rush for the egg and pick it Wig
orously, breaking it il it is a hen egg.
If they are not egg-eaters they will re-
gard the egg curiously and will make no
effort to eat it unless it is broken, and
then any chicken, no matter how inno-
cent previously, will eat eggs
AS for the prevention of this habit sew
eral remedies are offered, says the In
land Joultry Journal. Some claim that
by throwing several imitation nom
breakable eggs on the floor that the
fowls, after several days of fruitless
pecking at them, will become discour-
aged and will not break real egg even
when laid on the floor. This method does
not work every time, for some hens are
very obdurate and insist on trying to
break every egg they see. Darkened
nests are excellent to break up this hab-
it. Since the hen cannot see the egg it
is impossible for her to break it. Nests
with false bottoms, which permit the
egg when laid, to roll down out of the
hens reach, are sure representatives. of
egg eating, but those eggs that are laid
out on the floor exposed to the attack of
the whole flock, there is no method OF
saving except by sacrificing the hen
that does the eating.

ANOTHER RECORD IN
LAND-HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever,

It was thought In 1903, when over
forty-five thousand people went from
the United States to Canada, that the
limit Of the yearly emigration to the
wheat zone of the Continent had been
reached. But when in 1904 about as
large a number Of American citizens
sisniied their intention of becoming
settlers on Canadian lands, the gen.
eral public were prepared for the an
nouncement Of large numbers in 1905.
No surprise therefore will be caused
when 1t is made known that the pre-
dictions of fully fifty thousand more in
1905 are warranted in the fact that
the Spring movement Canadaward is
greater than It has ever been. The
special trains from Omaha, Chicago,
st. Paul, Detroit, and other gateways,
have been crowded. Many have gone
to Join friends and relatives who have
prepared homes for them, and others
have gone relying upon their own re-
sources, satisfied that what others
have done can also be done by them.
This year much new territory has
been opened up by the railroads, which
are extending their main lines and
throwing out branches in their march
across the best grain and grazing
lands on the Continent. This new
territory has attractions for those de-
string to homestead on the one hun
dred and sixty acres granted each set
tier by the Canadian Government.
Many also take advantage Of the OPP
portunity to purchase lands at the low
figures at which they are now being
offered.
It does not require much thought
to convince one that If Iowa. illinois,,
Minnesota and other lands, with q
value of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre will give good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels of wheat to the acre and
thirty to fifty bushels Of corn to the
acre, tho lands of Western Canada at
seven to ten dollars an acre, produc-
Ing from twenty to thirty bushels Of
q superior wheat to the acre, should
produce a competence to the ordinary
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There arc millions Of acres Of
such land in Western Canada in add
ton to the other millions that are con-
sidered to be portion of the biggest
and best ranges that ever invited the
cattle and horse producer Of the North
American continent. What Is particu-
larly evident in Western Canada Is
the fact that the wheat lands, adjein-
ing the grazing lands. make farming
particularly agreeable and profitable.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, who are always willing to give
Information and advice to intending
settlers, say that the acreage put un-
der crop this season is greatly in e1-
cess Of last season. ~. -
