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

All the large breeds of chickens
should be hatched out during early in
the season. II the pullets have been
laying since October, there should be no
scarcity Of brood mothers, but II they
have not been laying 1t will be best to
secure some that have. To begin with,
it is folly to set 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
day or two before placing the eggs un-
der her. Dust her thoroughly with in
sect powder and put in front OF her a
supply of grit corn and 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 hen 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 tor 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 1t very simple thing, but never
theless, the fact remains, that not one
person In hundred who raises poultry
knows Just how to handle q hen during
the Matching Of her brood.

POINTERS FOR sEEMeN.
some Suggestions Which Will Prove
70 BE Of Value During the
epringtime.

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
a long distance to secure water from
brooks or drains, the losses will be be-
yond comprehension. The careful apia.
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 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 aplary.
Many Of us have taken great pains in
locating our colonies. perhaps wintered
fairly well. but without giving the mat
ter 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 a colony. II 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. IL
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.
Tho ovn1o n o<f<,1 L. ooc., -
for extracted honey. extracting combs
are given. These the bees store with
their first honey and keep on storing un-
til full. They do not even have to stop
to draw out foundation. much less to
loaf around before attempting to draw
1t out. In the case of comb honey, a
super containing sections filled 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 habi,
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 1t takes
pressure, 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, 1t never Injuries then
at all. 1t takes but little feed to stimu
late to start breeding, provided abund
ance of honey is in the hive. 1t would bt
poor policy to stimulate to rear lo
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 store!
Is what is desired at this time of year.

TWO MEN LIVE IN OPEN AIR
Sleep Out Of Doors in Clear Weather
and Under Tent in Rains and
Eat Nothing But Vegetables.

London.-Two men have been living
an open-air life at Purleigh. Essex, for
two years. One of them holds a re-
sponsible position in large shipping
office; the other. who has cut himself
entirely adrift from city life. devotes
himself to agricultural work.
They are the owners Of three acres
Of freehold land on which stands a
tent. which is their guest chamber. It
Is furnished with small table, rough
ly made from a tree which once grew
on their estate, and a number Of cook
ing utensils.
Unless the rain drives them to the
shelter of the tent they sleep In the
open. Their beds, which are spread
behind the tent, consist Of macintosh
ground sheets and woolen sleeping
sacks and rugs.
Both men are vegetarians, and be-
long to q sect which discountenances
the taking Of animal life. They de-
clare that they do not know the mean
ing Of illness. and one Of them, who
was once the weakling Of the family,
has developed into man OF great
physical strength.

FERTILITY OF THE SOIL.
Valuable Facts Boiled Down for the
Farmer During the Busy
Season,

The following brief facts are boiled
down from an article by Prof. e. G. Hop
kins Of the Illinois College of Agricul-
ture on Fertility Of the Soil:"
Different types Of soil produce differ
snt crop yields under the same condi-
tions.
Soils side by side, but cultivated diff
ferently for term of years, produce
very different yields.
The same soil differs at different
times, according to Its cultivation and
other treatment and lack Of treatment.
One soil will produce 20 bushels OF
corn, another 40 bushels. another 90
bushels.
One soil Is worth $40 an acre, another
500 per acre, another 5000 per acre
largely because of their difference In fer.
tility or productive capacity.
Soil can be run down."
Soil can be improved.
The fertility of soil can be maintained.
It is worth money to know soils and
be able to improve them.
The study of soils is vitality connected
with profit and propriety In farming. the
greatest industry In Illinois.
Neither live stock nor clover, nor both
together, will maintain the fertility OF
the SOIL
The only way: Preserve good physi-
cal conditions and then put back upon
the land all Of the fertility which is
taken on"
While there are ten essentials of plant
food, seven Of them are usually supplied
In abundance, but nitrogen, phosphorus
and potassium are rather limited In
most soils. So the study Of fertility Is
practically reduced to the study Of these
three.
