SETTING HEN AND BROOD.

Managing setting hens Is not sc
hard as some people think. The most
practical points are to have a gooc
hen. Don't set wild hen. After
having selected the hen, then comes
the nest box. A very good method Is
to use a small store box about the
right size and place about one inch oil
earth in the bottom. then put in the
fine straw. This makes good nest
MY reason for using earth, says
writer in Orange Judd Farmer, Is
that it holds the moisture and helps
keep lice away.
After having the nest ready place

an AMBASSADORS Butler.

The practice of tipping is not entire
w bad; the recipients at least derive
some benefit. A former butler of Mr..
Choate American ambassador to Eng
land before Mr.. Reid, has built large
hotel on the coast on the tips he re-
ceived from visitors to the American
embassy, whose servants make more
money than those attached to other
embassies, chiefly because of the num-
Der of wealthy Americans who visit
the ambassador and scatter tips with
traditional generosity.

FEArHERlNo OF CHICKS.
1t Is Exhausting Growth and Healthy
Feeding Is Necessary.

The sooner the young chick deVel-
OBS his feathers and gets rid OF MS
down the better. The time at which
the chick is putting out feathers IS
considered a crisis in his life. 1t is
therefore necessary to give him nutrl-
tious food so as he can build the
feathers as soon as possible. A part
ration of meat daily is very good 70
helm him in this work, which comes
as an extra strain at this time, Inc
fact that some chicks feather too rap
idly is a cause of weakness with them.
There is no other way to do than to
give the very best food that can be
given. those feeds rich in body build
ing material. Skim milk is good.
But feeding of corn meal Is com
mon on some farms, the young chicks
being given a very large amount q
this kind of food. With corn meal
says Prairie Farmer, the chick mas u
digest great deal of food to get tnt
amount Of nitrogen needed for th'
building of the feathers, and the feath
era are rich in nitrogen. One OF th'
hest feeds at this time Is oatmeal.
