VIGOROUS FOWLS.
Watch the Flock and Pick Best for
Future Breeders.

Any person that has much to do
with fowls Ia forced TO notice the
greater vigor OF some when compared
to others. In a flock of so fowls per-
haps ten will show exceptional vigor.
These should be kept for breeding,
and the fowls with weaker constitu-
tions should be disposed of, says Farm
ers' Review. This vigor means a great
er power 20 produce flesh IL flesh is
wanted or to produce eggs II eggs are
wanted.
The vigorous fowls are the .ones
that resist disease the most effective
ly. The disease killing factors in
their blood are more powerful than
in the less vigorous fowls. Therefore
with such fowls, the losses from dis
ease are sure to be less than II other
fowls are kept. The less vigorous
birds are the ones that first fall vic
Tins to any poultry disease that
comes along. Therefore the quicker
they are fattened and made into meat
the surer is the owner of getting his
money out of them.
The less vigorous fowls are doubt
less as good for food as any others,
and that is where their greatest utility
will be found. This question of vigor
has not received the attention II is
worthy to receive, for It counts for
much In the development of the far
mers flock.

the top OF the box. carrying a hook on

To use at night, close the door, place
a mat In each end or division, also 40
chickens In each division, place the
hover on the buttons, hank lighted
lantern on the wire and put cover in
place, on which lay good sized stone.
A brooder without the two following
essentials Is not worthy the name:
First. The door should be large and
low enough that the chickens will go
In at night without help, by the end
OF the first week Of their existence.
Second. II should be so constructed
that the door may be closed in bad
weather, the hover removed, chicks
fed and watered. mats changed, ETC.,
without opening the door.

THE LARGE INCUBATOR.
II 10 to Be Preferred to One Of Small.
er Capacity.

The size Of the incubator must be
regulated by the operators needs, but
We believe a small machine does not
pay 30 well as the larger sizes. for
the cost of operation is nearly as much
and less time is required TO care for
one large brood than several small
ones. When the beginner can hold
in all parts of the egg chamber for "a
hours II is safe to put in the eggs.
These should be carefully selected, OF
medium size and of good shape, not
elongated, nor very large at one end
nor flattened. The shell should be
smooth and firm not thin or porous
nor too heavy. BY the way, says the
Farm and Field, one should be careful
about the place of storage for eggs for
Matching purposes If 1t is too cold the
germ will be chilled; If too warm the
germ may begin to grow, Eggs have
been known to germinate at 60 de-
grees. The eggs need not be placed
in rows, but never should be crowded
so that they are piled on each other.
Upon the care of the lamp and the
regulation of the temperature depends
in great measure the success OF the
hatch Always supply the lamp with a
new wick at the beginning OF each in
cubation and fill 1t late in the after
noon for then II anything happens It
will be in the daytime. Never handle
the eggs after caring for the lamp as
there is danger of closing the pores
of the eggs

The Small Flock.

A small flock of hens pays better
per hen than large flock because the
birds have more range around the
farm buildings and more floor space in
the houses and coops. Give the birds
plenty OF room and air and a thousand
can be made to return as large profit
per bird as hundred.

Much interest has been taken by
voters of the country in the past week
in regard to the method OF. marking
the new election ballot in the State,
and particularly the manner Of
scratching the Legislative ttckeS has
been discussed
AS the proper and sure method Of
scratching the ticket for the several
legislative candidates who are group.
ed under one head is mot fully under
stood by all 1T would not be amiss to
call the attention of the voters to
this particular part OF the ballot.
Any person desiring toyote a mixed
ticket should place cross mark in
the circle at the head Of one ticket
and another cross mark before the
name of any candidate on another
ticket for whom he desires to vote.
II he wishes to vote for three mem.
bers Of the legislature on his own
ticket and one on another ae must
mark each Of their names in addition
to the cross mark at the head Of his
ticket. Otherwise he would not indi-
cate which candidate on his own tickat
ne intended to. scratch; or, in other
words, would not indicate which Of
the four he desired to vote for and
no vote could be counted for any.
However the voter has an alternative
by writing the name Of the candidate
On the other ticket for whom he de.
sires to vote Immediately under the
name Of the man on his own ticket
whom he wishes to scratch.

amendment, otherwise the proposed
amendment to the section reads as
the section in the constitution.
The object for this amendment is to
